"One, two, three..."

The desert is vast and the sea of ​​sand is boundless, and the sky is dark and light. I don’t know when a turbid cloud will float, blocking the last bright moon without trace.

"Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen." The envoy of the Western Regions took a thorn in his hand and leisurely wandered around the fifteen helmets scattered here.

Fifteen helmets came from fifteen pairs of dark heavy armors, each pair of heavy armors broke into a pile of scrap iron, embedded in the dark sand pile, with clear smoke rising slowly.

He raised a thread of blood that fell in front of his shoulders, and his hands holding the thorns were dripping blood. He tapped into the sand and then saw no shadow.

He kicked off a pair of shoulder armor, raised his eyebrows and smiled, turned around and threw out the bloody thorn, whistling through the wind, but was opened by three cold darts on his face, and he saw a young shadow standing a hundred steps away, with wisps of silver thread dancing in the wind.

Seeing this, the man smiled coldly, brushed away the random hair that was slightly blocking his sight with one hand, and turned his eyes and looked at Liyue.

"Are still a little girl? Interesting..."

——

It is said that this place is just the edge of the sand realm, but it is as majestic as the deep sea in the desert. I still don’t realize anything during the day, but I only realize the horror of my soul after entering the night.

I don’t know how the weather changed. Not long ago, there was still thousands of miles of starry sky, but now there was only a thick cloud splashing ink, which made the desert even darker and the temperature suddenly dropped sharply.

The three of them rode into the desert, dazed and didn't know what to do. When they were anxious, they saw a purple light floating in the night sky. When Shu Ling saw it, she raised her arm, and the purple light flew all the way and fell on his arm armor. It turned out to be a "purple-headed swallow".

Shu Ling took out a note from the secret box on the purple-headed swallow's abdomen, read it through the purple-headed swallow's purple flames, and said, "There is a problem with the envoy of the Western Regions."

After hearing this news, Yi Chen was not surprised, but instead calmed down and asked, "Did they see him?"

"The letter did not say it, just told us to be careful of this person. In addition, it also said that there is a sand area ahead that is difficult to understand, and the terrain is unpredictable at night, so it is best to go back to the camp and wait."

Yi Chenzhe frowned, his thoughts were hard to understand.

Shu Ling burned the note into the purple flame of the bird's head and asked, "How to decide?"

"They didn't mention Yue'er in the letter?"

"No."

"I'll go find Yue'er, you go back." Li Ying said coldly. When Yi Chen chased him, she added: "She is my sister, and her troubles should be solved by me."

I have to say that what Li Ying said is really disappointing.

"No, she is not a problem," Yi Chen chasing his voice slightly, "I want to find her in person." After that, he looked at Shu Ling in a blink of an eye and said, "Uncle Ling, are there people from Canghai Pavilion nearby?"

"Yes, do you want to contact them?"

Yi Chen nodded, "This matter is so strange that it must be found out, but we are limited in this trip, and the danger ahead is unknown. You must leave a backup plan. Uncle Ling, stay outside just in case, Liying and I will continue to move forward."

"You want to act alone?" Shu Ling was startled and said solemnly: "You are just starting out and you know that the danger ahead is unknown. But you asked me to go back in this situation. Are you so arrogant?"

Hearing this, Yi Chenzhui smiled helplessly, "There is nothing we can do. Among the three of us, you can contact the people from Canghai Pavilion."

“…”

He stopped his smile a little and said, "And it is precisely because it is Uncle Ling that he can stay outside as our backing."

What he said made Shu Ling feel very bad, "Why, are you still planning to enter that unknown sand domain?"

Yi Chenzhe pondered for a moment and said, "There were many strange things in the Western Regions. Now I have confirmed that the messenger has a problem, and it happened to be near a sandy area with unknown conditions - I don't think this is just a coincidence."

Shu Ling was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that this young man was not as weak as they imagined.

"This place is still far from Zhuyue, and the messenger cannot leave the team and return alone. The only unique thing nearby is that unknown place. If we reason, the one he is most likely to go to is there."

That's the reason.

Shu Ling was actually too speechless by this young man.

Yi Chenzhao thought about something again, turned around and said, "Don't worry, I'm definitely not a decision that I can make for a moment, and you have to take some risks in everything - contact the nearby Canghai Pavilion immediately. If we fail to return within three days, the rest will be decided by Uncle Ling."

Shu Ling finally shook his head and sighed, and handed the purple-headed swallow standing on his arm to Yi Chen's shoulders, saying, "This thing is very good for sending messages, and it can also be used as investigation and self-defense if necessary. You can take it with you, and in addition-" He pointed his fingertips to Yi Chen's forehead and poured a trace of spiritual spell in his head. "Remember this spell, just recite it silently and activate spiritual power in your heart, and you can create a candle. If you don't leave any trace, I can't find you in such a large desert."

Yi Chen chanted the spell that Shu Ling had temporarily passed to him with a slight spiritual power, and a bean star-like spiritual fire popped out of his fingertips, floating away from his fingertips, like a weak candle flame, and his body was hidden three inches away from his fingertips.

"This is a unique way of leaving a trace in Canghai Pavilion. It is difficult for others to notice and will not be disturbed by the outside world. Remember to leave one at all times, so that you will not be able to stop your whereabouts."

"good."

Shu Ling patted the back of his head, "Go, be careful of everything."

"Um."

——

This Western Region envoy who seemed to be powerless was like a puppet of armor. For Liyue, it was impeccable.

Li Yue took advantage of her small figure and dodged left and right to barely avoid this person's offensive.

The crisp thorns in his hands were cast like gold, with a barbarian light shining against it, and the whole body was dark and shiny like meteorite.

But it was indeed an ordinary thorn.

Li Yue couldn't figure out his skills for a moment, and did not dare to make a move rashly, so she could only keep retreating.

"Little girl, why don't you accept it?" When he grinned, his eyes gathered into a fierce light, his lips showed his teeth, and he looked like a bloodthirsty beast without fangs.

His moves suddenly became cold and changed too inexplicably, so that Li Yue never avoided a move, and he picked up the cloak in his cage.

The move just now could clearly cut Liyue's neck vein directly, but he had to look at her face first because of the playfulness.

Li Yue left the cover of the cloak and showed a narrow look. She hurriedly avoided it, but a thin thorn cut a bloody mark on her cheek.

The man saw that she had flawless white hair, and his expression suddenly became cold. He lifted a stream of dust and flew over. Li Yue couldn't escape for a moment. When he was at a loss, a cold light suddenly flew over the Yu Guang. When the gods were right, he saw the long whip like a cold snake in the dark flame breaking through the sand. With a "sonoccer" sound of gold and stone cracking, it cut off the cold blade of the gathering in the sky.

Li Yue looked closely and saw a thin and graceful figure standing in front of her in a daze.

"Master?"

Zi Mei stood coldly indifferently, like a cold sword that existed alone in the world.

She ignored Li Yue and just raised the long whip in her hand and pushed the dust away. When she was about to approach, she took the backhand and took the double blades behind her waist. The two attacks were in front and behind. Even if she expected, she could catch the man off guard.

The man hurriedly held the thorns with gold-plated iron in his hand and gritted his teeth, regretting that his body was really numb and he was disobedient at the critical moment...

Zi Mei moved her shadow like a illusion. There was no moon in the sky, but she saw the light shining in the surrounding yellow dust. In just a moment, the guy who had just forced Li Yue to retreat for more than a hundred steps by Zi Mei.

Suddenly, a whip licked the flames and slashed the man's wrist and strangled his entire palm. However, he didn't hear the man screaming, and he just abandoned the thorn and disappeared into the sea of ​​sand.

Li Yue looked around and saw that the man's fallen palm dissolved into a pool of blood and white bones in just a moment, and even the thorn that was tougher than gold and iron had scattered into a rotten sand.

The man ran away, and Zi Mei didn't chase him. She just took away the weapon, lowered her eyes, and looked at the blood-dried bones.

"Master..." Li Yue called out timidly. Zi Mei saw a blink of an eye. There was a hint of coldness in her eyes, which had always been restraining the cold light and electricity. Li Yue only saw it and lowered her face, not daring to say more.

Zi Mei fell alone on her knees, twisted her bones and looked at her in front of her eyes.

A wind blew up the hill, wrapping sand and dust. When he heard the sound was not good, Zi Mei immediately abandoned the white bones and turned around and hugged Liyue, jumped into the air. As soon as she left her front foot, she saw the spiral of the sand and the sea spiral, rumbling, and a deep abyss fell out.

——

The two dark horses who had always seen the wind and waves suddenly slapped their noses and hooves anxiously, letting the people on the horse's back drive them, and refused to go further.

Just at this moment, a very bad breath came from the front.

Liying discovered that there was a little strangeness here. When she raised her arms, she saw a string of candles burning slowly into the darkness. It was hard to know the end of the road ahead.

"This is..." Yi Chen was stunned for a moment, and Li Ying said calmly: "This is left by Yue'er."

"Yue'er?!"

She seemed to nodded lightly, and did not hide the fleeting sadness in her eyes.

The wind continued for a long time, but it became more and more fierce. The two jumped off the horse, and the horse took small steps and refused to retreat.

Liying closed her eyes and felt the strange wind carefully.

“There is water.”

Yi Chen Zhui also paid attention to it, but felt that the wind was not as painful as before, and it seemed to have a faint breath of tide.

The previous one is probably the unknown sand domain mentioned by the warrior’s message.

Liying's eyes were slightly darker, and she looked back at the anxious horse, "I'm sure I'm going in?"

Yi Chenzhui nodded firmly, "No matter what, Yue'er is inside."

"Just for her?"

Li Ying asked inexplicably, Yi Chen came to see her in a blink of an eye, and the faint candle also slightly illuminated the meaning between his eyebrows and eyes - isn't this reason enough?

Liying still looked at him deeply and didn't speak.

"This is also the purpose of our trip."

Liying's eyelashes drooped slightly, "It's hard to know the danger inside, protect yourself." After that, she raised her legs and went first, "Don't worry about these two horses, they will naturally move with the situation."
