Chapter 764 (2/2)
It was already dusk when I came to this deserted village. I had a meal and was trapped in a dark room. Now the sun was already slanting to the west, and it was approaching dusk. In order not to delay time, Zhang Yitian and his party set out immediately.
As there was only one riding cloud foal, Zhang Yitian and Mu Xianyue still rode together. Dan Qiusheng and the other two guards walked on foot and went straight to the ice lake.
”This boy is really good at it. He actually managed the married woman.” looking at the two people who set out one step ahead on horseback, Dan Qiusheng was impressed and envied, but he could only swallow saliva secretly.
Stepping on the cloud, the foal galloped towards the ice lake, and soon ran for more than a mile. The night fell completely. In the dark, they saw the light of fire in the distance. They were surprised, strangled the reins and jumped off the horse's back. They hid behind a sand dune and observed the light of fire in the distance.
”That's the light of the torch. It's moving towards us. Will it be the people who are chasing us?” Duanmu Xianyue suddenly thought of the pursuer.
Zhang Yitian stared at the front and said cautiously: ”it's probably the pursuit of soldiers. These grandchildren are really persistent. However, the top priority now is to save people. Let them go for the time being so as not to delay time.”
Duanmu Xianyue thought of something and frowned: ”if we go like this, master Dan, what if they encounter these people?”
”Well... They're not so bad?” Zhang Yitian smiled bitterly. ”However, you're right. You're not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. It's better to stay here and wait for master Dan to come and meet me in the direction of Binghu. I'll leave a mark along the way.” before leaving, Zhang Yitian took out a bottle of Meixin powder and a bottle of antidote to Duanmu Xianyue,
”This is psychedelic medicine. When they come later, you can divide the antidote. In case of emergency, you can use psychedelic medicine to confuse those grandchildren.”
Now there is only one way. Duanmu Xianyue nodded silently. Seeing that Zhang Yitian was about to step on his horse and leave, she couldn't help asking, ”then pay attention to safety. If you can't, run. Don't fight hard.”
Zhang Yitian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and flirted: ”all right, little daughter-in-law, I know. You should also pay attention to safety. I'm leaving.”
Under Duanmu Xianyue's angry eyes, Zhang Yitian shivered and hurried forward in a stirrup. After he left, Duanmu Xianyue couldn't help reaching out to touch his hot cheek, bit his red lip, and spat: ”smelly hooligan!”
The mouth said so, but in her heart, there was a dark tide surging, inexplicably produced a trace of palpitation, until a rough face suddenly popped out of her mind, the restless heart suddenly cooled, and the temperature fell to the freezing point.
The boundless night obscures the yellow sand everywhere, and a bright moon gradually rises in the sky. The moonlight in the desert has a very similar thing with that in the sea, that is, it is large, which can bring people an extremely shocking feeling. Looking up will produce a feeling that the moon wheel is just above the head, as if it is within reach, This feeling is not felt elsewhere.
The moonlight cast a glittering and translucent glow. One person galloped through the yellow sand and ran for about three miles. According to Zhang Yitian's estimation, it is not far from the ice lake. You should be able to reach the ice lake in another half an hour. That is to say, if you can't catch up with the old man in this half an hour, you will be busy in vain just now.
But after running for an afternoon, the cloud trotting foal is already tired. You know, before, it had been carrying two people running. During this period, it only rested in the desert village for less than an hour. Now it has been running for so long. Although the cloud trotting foal is more powerful than half of the horses, it is also tired. Its physical fitness has reached the limit.
”Pony, pony, how can you drop the chain at the very critical time?” Zhang Yitian could not help but sigh. But the tread was really tired. He stopped moving and stopped moving. He couldn't get rid of the problem. He had to take out the animal feed Dan he had made before, suck it up and give it a big pot of water, and then it was time. The cloud trotting foal gave a very hearty neighing and sneezed on Zhang Yitian's face before giving up. His attitude was much more intimate than before.
”Like Xiaohua and Xiaohei, you are also a eater.” Zhang Yitian smiled bitterly and allowed the cloud foal to have a rest, while he himself took the opportunity to drink some water.
Water shortage in the desert is a normal situation. Even monks can't resist the attack of high temperature. They must replenish water in time to avoid dehydration. Otherwise, there will be serious consequences, such as hallucinations. This is a very normal situation, but once they encounter it, they will be in trouble.
After a rest, the foal regained his energy, stretched out his brain bag and rubbed Zhang Yitian's cheek. He took the initiative to show his kindness and was eager to try.
Seeing this, Zhang Yitian responded, touched its hair, grabbed the reins and stepped onto the horse's back. Stepping on the cloud horse, he gave a long cry, raised his front feet and ran away, more than twice as fast as before.
Although Zhang Yitian has been trying hard to catch up, he still failed to catch up with the old man flying with the sword in half an hour until he tracked to a sand dune outside the ice lake, watched a streamer rush into the forest where the ice lake is located, and disappeared.
”His mother's cultivation, imperial sword...” Zhang Yitian sighed. At this moment, he deeply realized how helpless it was to lack cultivation.
