C178 Luring the Tiger away from the Mountain and Trapping It in the Desert

"Why?" When Ye Xiaotian heard Qing Loongcang's words, he understood what he meant. He just spoke with some melancholy.

"A life for a life, that's all. " Qing Loongcang looked directly into Ye Xiaotian's eyes and said.

Ye Xiaotian sighed and didn't say anything else.

The two of them found Sabbath and told him where they were going.

"Oh, we are going to Yellow Sand City. Yellow Sand Village is separated by a city. There are two deserts. We need to bring enough rations and water. I'll go look for camels. " Sabah seemed to be very straightforward and quickly arranged everything.

Ye Xiaotian and Ye Xiaotian waited for another night and set off early in the morning the next day. The night in the desert was very dangerous, so they tried to avoid traveling at night.

"In this desert, the most powerful thing is this yellow sand. After a wave of sand, everything will become a part of him. However, besides this sand storm, you also have to pay attention to the desert desert's desert bandits. Those are a group of wolves that eat people without spitting out their bones. " As he walked, he nagged.

Ye Xiaotian and Qing Loongcang were also tortured by the scorching heat of the desert. Although they didn't feel any discomfort, they didn't want to waste their breath.

They could not feel the passage of time in the desert. In front of them, there was only sand and sand. All they could see was a bare sand dune.

When he was hungry, he would eat some dry food. When he was thirsty, he would drink some water that he carried with him. However, he had limited water with him, so he tried not to drink water unless it was absolutely necessary.

"How much longer?" Ye Xiaotian could still see the endless yellow sand. The sky was already somewhat gloomy, as if the wind was about to blow. He could not help but ask.

"It will take at least a day's journey. I know of a ruins that can be used for a night. We will set off tomorrow. " Sabah frowned as he looked at the sky.

Ye Xiaotian and Ye Xiaotian naturally had no objections. Although they had never been to the desert, they had heard that many people had died in the desert.

Before the strong wind started blowing, Sabah brought Ye Xiaotian and Ye Xiaotian to the ruins. Looking into the distance from the entrance of the ruins, there was already a black hurricane in the distance, like a ferocious beast that was ready to devour people.

Ye Xiaotian and the other two felt somewhat fortunate at this moment. They had never thought that the range of the storm would be so wide. At this moment, the sky was dusky, and they were afraid that they wouldn't even be able to open their eyes if they were in the midst of it.

Sabah had already lit a bonfire by the side, as if he did not care about what was happening outside, "The two of you are on night watch. The night in the desert is not peaceful. "

After saying that, he laid down on a pile of hay, his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep.

Ye Xiaotian and Ye Xiaotian naturally had no reason to object. However, neither of them had the mood to sleep. They guarded the flickering flames that swayed with the wind.

The night in the desert was extremely cold. The cold was the assassin that lurked in the desert at night.

Around three o'clock in the morning. Suddenly, rustling sounds came from the ruins. Ye Xiaotian and Ye Xiaotian's hearing were very sharp. They stood up and carefully listened to the source of the sound.

A few rats immediately jumped out and ran to a broken wall and disappeared.

Only then did Ye Xiaotian and Ye Xiaotian sit down. It turned out that it was just a false alarm.

However, after the rats disappeared, the sound did not end there. It was the sound of wolves howling again.

"Sand wolf?" Qing Loongcang said in a low voice.

"It should be. " Ye Xiaotian was not sure, but he had heard of the name of the Desert Wolf.

The two of them got up and walked out of the ruins. As expected, there were groups of Desert Wolves gathered outside the ruins.

The biggest difference between the Desert Wolves and the Wolves of the Central Plains was that the Desert Wolves were especially bloodthirsty. Moreover, because of the harsh environment, being the leader of the Desert Wolves was even more cunning.

The most important thing to deal with a wolf pack was to deal with the alpha wolf. However, they did not see the alpha wolf at all.

"What should we do?" Qing Loongcang asked. The biggest difference between a wolf and a human was that as long as the first wolf was still alive, ordinary sand wolves would pounce on it without caring about their lives.

"I think many people have died in the hands of this group of wolves. It just so happens that we can get rid of this disaster. " Ye Xiaotian said in a deep voice.

"Alright. " Qing Loongcang took out an Emei thorn from his chest and said with a slightly changed expression.

Ye Xiaotian also drew out the Blue Wolf Sword. The two of them attacked with great tacit understanding without even needing to speak.

With their martial arts, they were more than enough to deal with this group of Sand Wolves. However, the number of Sand Wolves was huge. Furthermore, Ye Xiaotian had pierced through the Sand Wolves with his sword, but the Sand Wolves still had a chance to survive. They wanted to pounce on Ye Xiaotian and bite him.

In just half a cup of tea's time, the two of them were already covered in blood, but the number of sand wolves around them had not decreased at all.

Ye Xiaotian circulated the true qi of the Hidden Dragon Skill and swept his sword forward. The sand wolves in front of him were all cut in half at the waist. However, this attack had taken away most of his energy.

"Are you alright?" Qing Loongcang looked at Ye Xiaotian, who was breathing heavily, and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm fine. " Ye Xiaotian smiled and tightened his grip on the Grey Wolf Sword again, looking at the pack of wolves that were staring at him covetously.

The pack of wolves seemed to be intimidated by Ye Xiaotian's attack, and actually did not move again.

Suddenly, the pack of wolves opened up a path and a wolf with white fur walked out from behind the pack of wolves. This was the wolf.

The wolf sized up Ye Xiaotian and his companion. After a long while, it let out a long howl and turned around, disappearing into the night.

As the wolf left, the surrounding wolves also dispersed in an instant.

"What happened?" Ye Xiaotian asked in confusion.

"You asked me, but who should I ask? Maybe the wolf saw how talented we are and let us go. " Qing Loongcang said casually.

"Haha, that makes sense. " Ye Xiaotian didn't want to make a fuss about it, so he returned to the ruins with a smile on his face.

However, after returning to the ruins, their expressions changed drastically. Sabah had disappeared without a trace.

Ye Xiaotian and Qing Loongcang looked at each other and their hearts immediately sank.

They examined it carefully again, but found some clues.

"What did you find?" Ye Xiaotian asked.

"It seems that the old man was kidnapped. I found three footprints on the ground, and one of them was dragged. " Qing Loongcang said in a deep voice.

"It seems that we have fallen into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain. The camel and the rations we brought with us are all gone. " Ye Xiaotian said with a gloomy expression.

Both of them did not speak, but they had already guessed it in their hearts. There was someone who wanted to target them, but they couldn't figure out who it was.

The people of Bright Moon Tavern probably didn't know about their journey. Besides, if someone was following them in this vast desert, they would be able to see it with a single glance. Since everything was a trap. . . That wolf pack may also be the enemy's scheme.

It was useless to think about this now. The most important thing was to find the people who designed them and find a way to survive.
