Chapter 486 Desert Storm
A vast dusk in the endless sand.
Desert, lonely smoke, straight.
Long river, sunset, bend.
A huge bird with its wings spread out roared past and flew towards the setting sun, as if it wanted to blend into the twilight before the last bit of it disappeared.
On this big bird were the masters and disciples from Deyun Temple. They rode on this bird sponsored by Queen Mingyan and headed for Bailang Country.
Yu Qian'an and Wang Longqi were standing next to each other, their arms trembling. According to Yu Qian'an's own words, all his cultivation was in the well, and Wang Longqi was just a mortal. In addition, they both had kidney deficiency, so they were frozen like two grandsons while flying at high altitude.
Lao Du's situation is slightly better. After all, he has been practicing for decades, and his vital energy has not been lost for decades. His original kidneys are much better than the first two.
The little koi is a monster after all, and he has been practicing with the Fairy Phoenix Courage for so many days. As long as we don't talk about brain matters, there will be absolutely no problem in other aspects.
As for Li Chu...
If he hadn't taken other people's physical conditions into consideration, he would have finished his meal, taken a bath, had a foot massage, and drank tea in Bailang Country by this time.
At this moment, he was sitting quietly on the bird's neck with his eyes closed, looking no different from being in his own bedroom.
"Oh, I really don't know why I have to suffer this. Isn't it nice to just drink tea in the warmth in Jiangnan..." Wang Longqi complained.
Yu Qian'an nodded and said, "Yes, I am already at an age where I can enjoy my retirement, but I still have to travel around."
Lao Du in front couldn't help but say, "Seventh Young Master, Grandmaster... We are here because of you two. If you want to back out, that's great. Let's pack our bags and go back now."
"Don't even think about it." Yu Qian'an glared, "Don't pack your bags at every turn. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, you must move forward bravely."
“Yes, yes.” Wang Longqi also clenched his fist and said, “No matter how hard or tiring it is, I must persevere, just for my son’s expectant eyes…”
"If you two are really determined... then don't use me as a shield..." Lao Du said helplessly.
It turned out that he was taller than others even when sitting down, which was just right for shielding against the biting cold wind. Wang Longqi huddled behind him, and Yu Qi'an huddled behind Wang Longqi, hiding himself tightly.
"Old Du, you are useless anyway. If you don't help block the wind, then why are you here? Others have to spend money to travel, but you are using public funds." Wang Longqi said.
"Who is useless? Didn't I carry the luggage?" Lao Du was immediately dissatisfied. "Every day I carry the load and lead the bird, welcoming the sunrise and seeing off the sunset..."
"There is an evil spirit." Li Chu in front suddenly opened his eyes.
"What?" Several people were shocked.
I looked around, but it was just a vast expanse of sky, and there was no sign of any monster.
"Master, what you are talking about is..." Lao Du was about to ask a question.
Suddenly, something strange happened.
boom--
In a moment, waves arose from the calm.
A powerful tornado roared out from the front, like a huge vortex rising upwards, sweeping all around in an instant, it was actually a desert storm that arose out of nowhere! Rumble—
Although Li Chu reacted, the bird they were riding was not that powerful. It was unable to dodge and crashed into the storm in front of it and was instantly swallowed up.
The screams of the master and his disciples were also drowned out by the rolling sound waves of the storm.
The storm had little effect on Li Chu. He was suspended in the air, but the big bird and his master and disciples were swept away in an instant and could never be pulled back.
If the storm was split open with a sword, it might be possible to stop it, but the master and his disciples were scattered in it, and they might be swept away somewhere, so it was inevitable that they would be accidentally injured.
Li Chu made a quick decision. The origin of this storm was definitely not simple. He opened his mind, followed the trace of demonic energy to find the starting point of the storm, and then flew over with his sword to kill.
Whoosh——
A meteor pierced through the gray-brown storm and instantly landed on a moving sand dune in the distance.
But there was no figure here, only a conical magical instrument with four talismans attached to it, which seemed to be the culprit that caused the desert storm.
The real mastermind behind the scenes may have known how powerful Li Chu was and had already fled away.
Li Chu did not hesitate and broke the magic weapon with one sword.
boom--
As the magic weapon shattered, the huge storm in the air exploded again, bringing with it a powerful spinning force, which threw away the people and animals caught in the storm.
Li Chu opened his mind and, without the shelter of the storm, instantly locked onto the figures of the master and his disciples, then flew back and forth on his sword.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Yu Qian'an, Wang Longqi, the little koi, and the big bird as mount...
Before everyone fell to the ground and turned into pig heads, he successfully caught everyone and carried them to the ground safely.
etc……
I seem to have forgotten something.
Looking around, he went to the back of the sand dune in front and pulled out Lao Du, which was stuck in the sand with only its two legs sticking out, as if he was pulling out a big black radish.
Now, everyone was finally gathered together without any danger.
"The climate in this desert changes so rapidly. Such a terrible storm can come and go as it pleases..." Wang Longqi said with lingering fear.
"No..." Li Chu shook his head and said, "This storm is not simple..."
"No matter what, it's getting dark now, and our mount is badly injured..." Yu Qian'an looked at the big bird that was rolled up in a mess, "Why don't we find a place to rest for a while, have a barbecue, and continue our journey tomorrow morning."
When the big bird heard this, it was startled and struggled with its two claws to get up. Apparently, it was smart enough to realize that there were not many ingredients available for grilling...
At this moment, the little koi suddenly said, "Huh? There's a village ahead?"
"Where?" Wang Longqi and Lao Du looked over in confusion, but it was dark and the sand was thick, so how could they see any trace of the village? "Here," said the little koi, pointing to the side.
It turned out that there was a very sturdy wooden sign where everyone was standing. There was an arrow painted on the sign, and it said: "There is a village ahead."
"Wow, what a thoughtful road sign." Wang Longqi said with a smile: "Then let's go over and take a look?"
"At this point, this is the only way." Yu Qian'an nodded and agreed to the proposal.
Lao Du wondered, "There's a road sign in this remote place. Is it a scam?"
Wang Longqi said, "Just go and take a look and you'll know. With Li Chu and I here, what are you afraid of?"
Li Chu looked at the wooden sign and felt it was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it. In the past, he might have worried that it was a conspiracy of a monster. But now... although he would have doubts, he was not afraid.
If there is a monster, just get rid of it.
Following the guidance of the wooden signs along the way, the few of them moved forward and indeed saw the shadow of a village not far away.
There happened to be an old man taking a walk in front of the village. When he saw the figures of several people, he immediately showed a look of surprise.
"Oh, looking at you, you look like you are travelers who have come from afar and lost their way. Come in and rest for a while." He waved his hand enthusiastically.
"Welcome to Xilan Village."
After I got better recently, I don’t feel sleepy as easily as before, so I started to suffer from insomnia again. I feel a little uncomfortable these days…
