The night in the desert is different from the daytime, the heat dissipates in an instant, and with the last ray of light sinking into the rolling yellow sand, the sky is full of stars like ice crystals, making people have no time to care about its beauty.

The two walked into the crowd again, the residual heat on Xiao Mo's body hadn't dissipated yet, the heat merged into a thin layer of sweat on the skin and was instantly flattened by the cold wind, making him suddenly icy cold.

No leaves, no flint, not even warm clothes.Coughing and shivering voices came and went, and people gathered in groups to keep warm.

Tang Xiu came over with his sleeves rolled up, and frowned at Xiao Mo: "How far is it? Take a break and continue on your way. Otherwise, if you spend the night like this, you might not be able to wake up after sleeping."

However, in fact, many people are already yawning, but barely hold their eyelids because of the cold, and use chatting to get rid of sleepiness.Xiao Mo couldn't bear to harden his heart to urge everyone to go on the road overnight.

"Let's rest for a while, sleep if you can." After Xiao Mo finished speaking, he felt embarrassed again: "It's just the weather..."

"Hey~" Wu Xing huddled in Xiao Mo's arms enduring the pain in his back. The classmate Wu Xing, who had turned into a child again, was very curious. How did this pious guy carry him back without changing his face? Didn't he attack the child at all? guilt? ? ?

Tang Xiu's insight has always been sharp, so he bluntly said: "Xing Xing...doesn't feel well?"

Wu Xing's face froze, Xiao Mo nodded calmly: "Weak, it's too cold."

Tang Xiu nodded knowingly, and also intimately called Tang Yi to bring a blanket for Wu Xing to cover.

Wu Xing wrapped around the blanket expressionlessly, rolled his eyes at the clear night sky, then sighed and tugged Xiao Mo's sleeve: "I said~"

"Huh?" Xiao Mo smiled gently like the wind, feeling as if he was looking at a snack, which made Wu Xing move his butt unconsciously, then turned his head and cleared his throat: "I said, why did you forget that I am Who? Are you afraid of the cold with me around?"

Xiao Mo may have just reacted, suddenly smiled softly, and then shook his head, making a small expression that he had never seen before, looking a little sad and aggrieved, very cute.

Wu Xing swallowed, feeling a dull pain somewhere, his mouth wriggled a few times and secretly swallowed the swear words.

The desert shrouded in air-conditioning, the primitive desolation spread from here to every corner of the continent. When the flames suddenly soared into the sky and howled, people's eyes began to scatter and slowly gather until their cheeks were stained with bright vitality by the red halo.

Wu Xing fell back into Xiao Mo's arms, looking at the people sitting together silently and staring at the flames with bright eyes, everything was silent, it seemed like the beginning of the prehistoric, language and words were still condensed in dancing and simple painting, people lived in groups Living by water, relying on the unique geology and flint, they migrated from the rough wild land to the open plains, and began to build human civilization.

It turns out that fire and light are the bottom line of human dependence.

The drowsy people began to lie down on the spot one after another, curled up, but refused to close their eyes.

Wu Xing raised his chin at the intersection of light and darkness and kissed Xiao Mo. He turned his head and faced Tang Yi, who was staring straight at them, and Wei Sifeng, who was behind Tang Yi, posing to put a blanket on him.

The four raised their brows in agreement, Wei Sifeng and Xiao Mo looked at each other and smiled, lowered their heads and wrapped the blanket around Tang Yi's shoulders, then lifted his chin and nibbled on Tang Yi's side jaw.

Wu Xing snickered, curled up in Xiao Mo's arms and wrapped the blanket tightly, and said in a low voice, "That's great."

"what?"

"It's rare to be so quiet, and we can stay together quietly like this. Although we don't know what will happen tomorrow, this kind of quietness is very comfortable now." Wu Xing rubbed Xiao Mo's neck, changed his position and lay down on him shoulder, and said, "Isn't it good that nothing bothers us?"

Just as Xiao Mo was about to respond, the soft mass in his arms suddenly straightened up, looking at the dark night behind him with a somewhat stiff gaze.

"What the hell is that?" Wu Xing squeezed out the question word by word, and then cursed in a low voice: "Damn!! Damn it!!!"

Xiao Mo turned his head, and saw a layer of dim light surging in the gray-black night in the distance, and the place where it meets the ground was a thick black, which expanded and expanded, like a mighty wave sweeping in. wave.

"It's them?!" Wu Xing's eyes are particularly bright at night, and he can see clearly from such a distance. The black that floods, isn't it the residents of the other two cities?What's more, that big man Qi Shuo is so out of place in front, just. . .

What is the flickering light after the blackness?

Still closer, the light became more and more scattered, mottled like falling stars.It wasn't until the starlight was about to break through the surging black tide that Xiao Mo woke up as if in a dream, and shouted: "It's the beast tide!! Everyone! Get up!!"

Shen Chaorui and Ji Xiaoze were the first to see the situation clearly, and woke up the people who were already asleep. The students in the courtyard stood in front of them in a defensive posture, but they were uneasy.

And the people who were chased by wild beasts in the dark night were finally able to see the fire because of Qi Shuo's leadership, blowing away the haze of death in an instant, although for them, even if the result of getting lost in this vast desert is just a It's better to be dead than to be swallowed up by the thousands of eyes behind you.

Qi Shuo carried Zhou Tianran on his back, stumbled and saw Xiao Mo's face who came to greet him, he let out a long sigh of relief and handed Zhou Tianran over to Xiao Mo, and immediately turned his back and ran in the opposite direction: "Everyone gather quickly! "

Wu Xing changed his original shape and hovered in the air for a while. He saw from a distance that the exhausted people at the end of the team were about to be swallowed by the black tide behind them.This fire is so strange that it can burn without the help of any combustion aids. The cold gravel is like an endless rope, and a red light rises instantly.

Qi Shuo raised his head gratefully. Under the dim light, Wu Xing could even see clearly the arched muscle lines on this man's mountain-like body. His whole body was tense and ready to explode with amazing strength at any time, but those dark eyes were also glowing. The color of blood, I don't know if it is the reason of being illuminated by the fire, it is also like a cluster of fire, scorching hot and crazy.

Wu Xing hovered, screamed and slashed across, setting off a fire dragon, and as it whirled on the tail of the phoenix, it rose up, enclosing everyone in its shelter.

The Kuroshio behind him was finally approaching, roaring and roaring, but he had to stop because of the flames, he could only keep pacing, making fidgety roars one after another.

Xiao Mo directed the students in the middle school to arrange for the residents of the three cities to rest temporarily. When the air-conditioning exhaled was gradually mixed with sweat and could not be seen clearly due to the constant running, he remembered Zhou who was handed over by Qi Shuo and then handed over to Wei Sifeng. natural.

When Wu Xing also fell back to the ground, he had time to take a look—it was terrible.

Zhou Tianran's injury far surpassed Ji Baiwei's before, and the most helpless thing right now is the medicine.

What Wei Sifeng had on his body could only simply stop the bleeding or deal with it hastily, but this kind of situation that almost hurt the heart cannot be solved by those few bottles and cans.

Wei Sifeng gave Zhou Tianran some painkillers to barely maintain her vital signs, and hurriedly asked, "What spiritual grass is there in the northwest?"

Faced with Wei Sifeng's questioning, Xiao Mo's heart suddenly dropped, spirit grass?northwest?This is almost unanswered.At the same time, Qi Shuo, who had run away somewhere and came back with a disheveled face and panting, also grabbed Xiao Mo by the collar: "What mountain is there beside here?"

"Mountain?"

Qi Shuo pleaded in a hoarse voice: "Tianzhen said that he would go up the mountain to find natural herbs, so he sneaked away with Xiaotian!"

Ji Xiaoze and Shen Nanxing just learned from He Wangchuan, who fled here, that Xuanming City was deeply trapped, and spirit beasts went mad and attacked humans everywhere. Zhou Tianran almost died in the beast's mouth. . .

If it weren't for Qi Shuo's calmness and ability to accurately point out the direction to the northwest, the residents of the two cities would have become foam in the sea, floating and sinking on the rocks.

When Xiao Mo thought of the elder with a gentle smile and a preference for children, his heart inevitably ached, but even though Qi Shuo tightened his collar, he still couldn't say anything.

"A hundred miles to the northwest is full of sand seas. The mountains mentioned are either the Wanzhang Cave that has become ruins or the Yuxue Peak on the northwest border."

Wu Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, and the unnamed territory appeared in front of his eyes.It is covered with snow all the year round, the sun and the moon cannot be seen, and it is firmly imprisoned by the system at the northernmost tip of the mainland map. When the mouse is moved over, it can only show the size of a black dot.After clicking, a huge exclamation mark paves the interface, which reads: "Secret scroll (0/1)"

"Jade Snow Peak? Impossible. No one has ever been to that place. Don't say that I don't know the way. Even if I can get there, I can't go up to that place." Wei Sifeng said eagerly: "Could it be that he went back to Wanzhang Cave? He went up I followed it in for the first time, wouldn't it be to find spiritual grass there?!"

But Qi Shuo shook his head: "No, the last person who saw the innocent said that he was heading west, and he would not go back. This kid is smart."

Wu Xing grabbed Xiao Mo's trousers and forced himself to think back to the NPC on the road to the north in the game. When he once wanted to find a shortcut without a scroll, he seemed to have encountered an NPC who immediately refreshed the position twice. People, wearing a bamboo hat, marked as a male in the guide, but don't know their names, only the words "nearby farmers" are pasted, but now think about it, where did the farmers come from in that barren and inhabited land!And how do you know that you need to find the lost scroll to enter the snow mountain?Recalling the dialogue of that NPC, it seems to be like this:

"Young man, it's dangerous ahead. If you don't have the scroll's fingerprints, don't go in easily."

"I've lived here for many years. I usually gather herbs. If you can help me, I can give you some clues about the scroll."

"You were able to find the lost scroll. It seems that you are the person who prophesied by Xuanwu. Please, young man, don't blame this old man for not being able to see Mount Tai."

Wu Xing shuddered. The NPC clearly said that he made a living by picking herbs. Since Wu Xing came to this continent, everything has gone the same way as the storyline in the game, except that he will become a colorful phoenix. In and out, so he is more confident at this moment about the answer to whether there are spiritual herbs in Xuefeng in the north, he said: "It's in Xuefeng."

Facing everyone's incomprehensible expressions, Wu Xing bit the bullet and pretended to be calm, but conceived a more convincing reason: "That Xuefeng is the enchantment where Xuanwu seals his spiritual energy, and the surrounding spiritual energy is at its peak, but no one knows the entrance. If it is not known, it is an excellent place for spiritual grass to grow."

"But how would innocent know? He has never been to the Northwest..."

"It's Xiaotian." Wu Xing said, "That Bixue fox's nose is very clever."

Qi Shuo squatted down, holding his head and saying nothing, but everyone knew that he was blaming himself.

Wu Xing glanced at the sleepy and tired people around him, knowing that he had to wait for dawn to go on the road, and Zhou Tianran's injury was urgent, Wei Sifeng couldn't bear to remove the gauze to check, and Qi Shuo did. . .

Thinking of this, Wu Xing, who was about to cry because of Yu Qi, still opened his mouth: "Sister Tianran, I saved it."

The dazzling red coincided with a certain scene from a few years ago again. Xiao Mo tried his best not to feel distressed, but his uncontrollable hands still stepped forward and hugged Wu Xing from behind who didn't change his face.

"Does it hurt?" Xiao Mo asked softly.

Wu Xing raised his head and smiled and bent his eyes, the brilliance in his eyes was dazzling: "I lost a lot of blood again, you have to make it up to me."

"it is good."

Ji Xiaoze stood alone on the sand dune and looked at the wild beast blocked by the fire, with a complex expression appearing and disappearing. Shen Chaorui stepped forward and sighed: "Dean, let's go to sleep, we still have to hurry at dawn."

"Where's Bai Wei?"

"Sleep."

Ji Xiaoze turned his head, and the dark area under the sand dune was full of human heads leaning against each other to sleep.Ji Baiwei huddled on one side under the sand dune, half of her face was covered by a blanket, and her hair was messy on her forehead.Wei Sifeng sat beside the fire with Tang Yi in his arms, and Tang Yi kept nodding his head, still talking to Wei Sifeng.Shen Nanxing and He Wangchuan were still treating some severely dehydrated people, helping several elderly people and coaxing their children.Tang Xiu and Qi Shuo guarded Zhou Tianran and insisted on standing guard.

The stars in the sky were very bright, and they came out from behind the dusty clouds at some point, and the faint light sent layers of frost. Ji Xiaoze fastened his hat, and suddenly said to Shen Chaorui without a head or tail: " You have to live well."

"Dean?"

"It's okay, leave me alone, go and have a rest."

Shen Chaorui vaguely felt that Ji Xiaoze had something on his mind, but he didn't get anything if he kept asking.On the contrary, he took the word "alive" very lightly. Shen Nanxing pointed to his nose more than once and asked him: "What do you look like?"

Shen Chaorui smiled, and sat on the sand dune watching Xiao Mo holding Wu Xing with his head bowed and smiling slightly. The torn wound was like a wild beast isolated on the other side of the sand sea, boiling, but could only calm down in the dark.

And the sky will eventually light up.

Then, the earth also lit up.

And on a path that no one cares about, a red fox is struggling to move forward with a comatose figure.

Looking up, the mountain peaks submerged in the sky are covered with snow and the wind is cold, but the rising sun behind them is clearly warm.The little fox wrinkled his face and pushed the person at his feet, but when he got no response, he let out a low, anxious cry, which sounded like a crying baby.

On both sides of the path are jagged trees with dense needles, standing proudly against the wind and snow.There was a rustling sound, and a pair of straw sandals approached slowly on dead branches and leaves.

The deep voice was born with a teasing and uninhibited voice: "Yo? One cutie? Well... two."

The little fox raised his watery and crying eyes and blinked, looking at the stranger in the straw hat in front of him as if asking for help, but rarely felt a little familiar.

The man picked up the pannier behind him, dug out a pot of water and a dough wrapped in fragrant leaves, and handed it over, he couldn't stop muttering, "If it wasn't for your beauty, I wouldn't care about him, but since I gave him my rations, so you have to give me something in exchange, right? Huh? Little cutie?"
