Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 317 Wandering Dragon?

However, he can always avoid the ruthless sandstorm at the critical moment, showing his vigorous skill and extraordinary strength.One person, one rider, are integrated with the true nature of the desert. If it is not that they are running fast like the wind, raising layers of sand, just like a boat splitting waves on the water, it is really difficult to distinguish.

Sha Qiku muttered tremblingly: "You Long! He's coming!"

His voice was not loud, but with inexplicable horror and fear, it penetrated the audience like magical power.

The horse thief who heard these two words first stopped the siege, and then a series of induction waves covered every horse thief. The sound of shouting and killing and the sound of golden blades handing over suddenly stopped. Youlong reined in his horse and stood tall.

Xiao Yang, who was fighting bloody battles, was already in danger, and suddenly got a respite by accident.

He also lowered his long sword, looking curiously and confused at the strange-faced knight in yellow who could intimidate a group of thieves with his aura just by showing his face—surrounded by powerful enemies, he just stood there so calmly, like an ancient plant The tree stands quietly between the vast sky and the earth.Strangely, his face was as stiff as wood and stone, like a dead person, without any expression, only a pair of shining and flexible eyes showed that this was still the flesh and blood of a living person.

You Long caressed the red long knife at his waist, but he was not in a hurry to do it, he just said coldly: "Chi Mu Zhan is dead, do you still want to do it with me?"

A group of horse thieves could not believe it when they heard that their leader was dead. When they turned around and saw the body of leader Chimu Zhan, they all showed expressions of fear and despair.

You Long said: "Let's go! Today I will let you off for the time being, let me meet again next time, I will never forgive you!"

While speaking, he turned his head away and stared at a young horse thief.

The young horse thief didn't know why You Long, who was so famous, was only targeting him, and felt very nervous.

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly saw his cheeks shone with a cold and icy luster under the sun, which was strange and unspeakable, and his eyes were like two sharp arrows, shooting brightly, and he felt a chill on his back immediately. Come out, "Oops" yelled, turned his head away, took a few steps back, turned around, jumped on the horse and left.

The other horse thieves were infected by this young horse thief and lost any fighting spirit. They scattered one after another, snatched their horses and fled.Only Shaqiku still stood beside Chimu Zhan's body dully.

You Long said: "What's your name?"

Shaqiku expected that he would not be able to escape the disaster today, so he stood up slowly. He looked at Youlong's intimidating face, and the hatred in his heart temporarily defeated his fear, and he reached out to pull out the weapon from his waist.

But You Long didn't intend to fight with him, he asked in a deep voice: "Don't you horse thieves have hundreds of troops? Chi Mu Zhan personally dispatched today, why only bring out so few troops?"

Sha Qiku just stared at the enemy who shot the leader dead, without saying a word.

Seeing his stubbornness, You Long shook his head and said, "Just take Chimu Zhan and leave. I won't stop you."

Sha Qiku was stunned for a moment, and then said word by word: "One day, I will kill you to avenge the leader."

After finishing speaking, he took Chimu Zhan's mount, put the corpse on it, rode another horse, and left slowly.

The desert became quiet again. If it weren't for the corpses of several horse thieves killed by Xiao Yang left on the sandy ground, exuding a warm and strong salty smell like fresh seaweed, it would be hard to believe that this place was still a battlefield with rolling yellow sand just now. .

Xiao Yang stepped forward, cupped his fists and thanked: "Thank you for your help. Are you the dragon? I've heard about the name for a long time, and now that I'm seeing you, it's really..."

But he saw You Long tilted his body and rolled off the black horse.Xiao Yang turned pale with shock, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

You Long said: "You Long??? Hahahaha! Stop messing around, I'm not You Long, I can't tell you my identity yet, but I can escort you back home!!"

Xiao Yang asked: "You... aren't you You Long?"

As soon as the words came out, Xiao Yang noticed that You Long was covered with poisonous arrows and immediately pierced him.

After treating the wound briefly, Xiao Yang realized it himself, the one who bribed the horse thief to round him up must be the Khotanese.

He didn't expect this at first, but the horse thief named the Taoist Xiao Xiaosheng and the guide A Fei. Besides the Khotanese, who else knew that the three of them were together?
You Long came after the horse thief, and the Khotanese wounded him with crossbow arrows, fearing that he would disrupt the plan.

But the Khotanese had many soldiers and sophisticated weapons, so they had enough power to deal with him, Xiaoxiaosheng and Afei, so why would they attract horse thieves at all costs?Could it be that the real target is the Loulan caravan behind?
Before he could think clearly, he heard You Long say: "Someone is coming."

Xiao Yang said with emotion: "Brother You Long, don't worry, I will fight to the death with the people of Khotan, and I will protect my brother."

You Long shook his head and said, "Not from Khotan."

Xiao Yang turned his head and saw that there was a lot of dust in the east, and a group of knights was coming at a gallop. He could vaguely recognize the leaders as A Fei and Xiao Xiaosheng, and there were several knights behind, probably the Loulan guards who came to pursue Prince Changmai. .

You Long said: "I can't stay here, you...you take me away quickly, go to the northwest."

The yellow horse was very intelligent, probably anticipating that its owner was going to set off, so it took the initiative to crouch down first.

Xiao Yang praised: "What a horse!" He helped You Long onto the horse, and then led his own mount, and walked side by side with You Long.

Behind you can still hear Ah Fei's joyful cry: "Youlong! Youlong!"

Go all the way to the northwest.Seeing that You Long was seriously injured and his body was on the verge of falling, Xiao Yang asked, "Do you want to stop and rest first?"

You Long said: "No, we can't stop. We are going to a secret place, I have something very important to tell you."

After walking for most of the day, the wind suddenly started to pick up.The further we go, the stronger the wind becomes.The strong wind whined, was noisy, and came menacingly, turning the quicksand to fly all over the sky.

After walking for half a day, the wind suddenly started to blow.The further you go, the stronger the wind.The wind howled, was noisy, and came menacingly. It rolled up quicksand and flew all over the sky. The day seemed like dusk.All around are long stretches of yellow sand, like thick fog, covering the sky and earth in yellow.

Grains of sand and small gravel hit his face like hailstones. Xiao Yang couldn't tell the direction at all and could only follow closely behind Youlong.

After walking for more than half an hour, the strong wind stopped suddenly.Presented in front of his eyes is the most wonderful landscape that Xiao Yang has ever seen: Under the blue sky and white clouds, there are light red sand dunes standing abruptly. Orderly and patchwork.The shape is even more strange.

Some are winding and stretching, like a crawling dragon, or like a lying tiger; some rise from the ground, like a pagoda standing tall, or like a giant umbrella with an open canopy; some are vivid in shape, like a The peacocks with their wings spread out show off, and they look like eagles spreading their wings to take flight; some have clear outlines, like enchanting women, and like the vicissitudes of farmers' faces, with different expressions, lifelike, and various poses, which attract people's imagination.
