Chapter 112: Candle Dragon Well 2

  The camel team set out early in the morning, marching forward in a majestic manner. They walked for four hours, with strong winds and sand blowing everywhere. However, the temperature was still quite high in the morning, especially under the intense sunlight. The endless golden sand dunes glistened like waves of water under the sun's rays.

  The camel team was spectacular, after all, there were many people, and the food and water they carried were also very abundant. The team was very long, stretching continuously, and when the yellow sand blew by, Wen Baiyu couldn't see the end of the camel team at all.

  Wen Baiyu was now more grateful than ever that she had already handed the little ones over to Wan Qi Jing Hou, otherwise with such strong winds, if they were blown away, they would be nowhere to be found.

  They walked for five hours and the camel team slowly came to a stop. Everyone got off their camels and sat down together to eat lunch.

  Everyone brought a lot of dried noodles as dry rations. This thing is not easy to spoil and is lighter than canned goods, making it more convenient to eat in the desert.

  They were all wearing windbreakers or down jackets, wrapped in thick scarves, with goggles on their eyes and thick gloves on their hands. When they set out in the morning, it was freezing cold, but now that the sun is shining so strongly, everyone sat down and felt the sand was warm.

  Many people were in the desert for the first time, but they had been on the road for a long time. They couldn't help but eat while talking loudly and didn't mind getting sand in their mouths.

  After Wan Jie Jing Hou sat down, Qin Yi also wanted to sit next to him. As soon as Qin Yi sat down, Wan Jie Jing Hou moved away. Many people around them were watching and laughing. Qin Yi couldn't bear the humiliation of continuing to chase after Wan Jie Jing Hou, especially since this was a place where all sorts of people gathered, and if they left the desert, these jokes would be spread far and wide for everyone to know.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou changed places, pulling Wen Bai Yu to sit down, Wen Kuang and Wen Jiu Mu also sat beside them. Wan Qi Jing Hou first fed the little ones, except for Dan Dan, the other little ones could already eat food, Dan Dan still needed to drink milk, Wan Qi Jing Hou specially put a bottle of milk powder in his backpack.

  However, there is no way to boil water here, but this won't be difficult for Wan Qi Jing Hou, after all, he is a candle dragon and has fire essence.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou moved quickly, and Wen Bai Yu and the others blocked the way. The sky was filled with wind and sand, and no one noticed that the little ones didn't like this weather, so they quickly retreated back into their backpacks.

  After the little ones finished eating, Wen Baiyu and the others started having their meal, the buns were very hard.

  Some people thought the sand on the ground was hotter, so they put the buns on the ground to roast them naturally. Who knew that at this time a strong wind suddenly blew up, and with a "whoosh", the buns were blown away by the wind.

  Several people next to him rushed to chase after the second wife who was having an affair.

  The little fox, who had been lying on the ground with its legs up and eyes closed in a fake sleep, suddenly sat up and shouted: "Don't run."

  However, the wind and sand were too great, those people seemed to have not heard at all, still loudly shouting: "Damn it, my old man's buns were blown away, spit, a mouthful of sand"

  The little fox looked at them, turned over and stood up, and was about to shout again. At this time, the wind and sand were even greater. With a "whoosh", the little fox was blown by the wind because it was standing, and almost flew away, retreating several steps back. Someone suddenly held his waist, and when he looked back, it was Qi San Ye.

  Qī Sān Yé nodded at him and Little Fox turned back, shouting at those people to stop running forward.

  Those people ran farther and farther away, and the little fox's voice couldn't be heard at all. Suddenly, a sharp cry of "Aaah!" was heard, which was even louder than the howling wind, coming from the direction of those people.

  The little fox immediately said: "It's no good, something is coming."

  As he spoke, everyone suddenly became vigilant. Those people were actually not far from them, but because the wind and sand were too big, they seemed very hazy. After a sharp cry, one of them suddenly shrank like drilling into the sand, and disappeared in an instant.

  The sandstorm was huge, but everyone saw it very realistically. The person really disappeared in an instant. Immediately afterwards, the people in front heard "ahhh" screams again. Every time they screamed, one less person would be there. They were all standing on the sand, and then suddenly vanished with a "whoosh".

  Four people were chasing after the fugitive, and suddenly two of them disappeared. The remaining two had guns on them, and amidst the whizzing wind sounds, there were intermittent "bang bang" gunshots. Immediately afterwards, the two survivors yelled loudly as they rushed back towards the crowd.

  Wen Baiyu stood up, and Wan Jingshou grabbed his arm to steady him. The wind was really too strong; not to mention a small fox, even Wen Baiyu, a grown man, almost got blown over.

  Two people frantically rushed back and forth, shouting loudly as they waved their hands at each other. Behind them, several small sand dunes rose up, "whooshing" continuously as they chased after the pair, as if something was hiding in the sand and making a frantic escape.

  As soon as everyone saw this scene, they didn't know what was in the sand, and immediately all got up. One of them shouted: "Damn it, something's coming over!"

  Someone shouted "Get down"

  The two people who ran over to them immediately jumped forward and rolled on the ground, desperately rolling forward. The sand behind them was still approaching, and the crowd opened fire, shooting at the small sand dunes that were bulging and moving forward.

  However, the small sand dune moved too fast, and it was difficult to hit at this speed. Wan Xi Jinghou narrowed his eyes, took out a gun from his waist, held it up, aimed slightly, and heard a "bang" sound. Suddenly, one of the sand dunes stopped moving.

  The rest of the sand dunes were still rushing forward, and Wan Jie Jinghou immediately took aim again. "Bang bang", this time it was two shots, but obviously only one shot was fired by Wan Jie Jinghou.

  Two people's sand dunes stopped moving at the same time, Wen Baiyu tilted her head to one side and saw that in the sky filled with yellow sand, Qi San Ye was also holding a gun in his hand, taking aim. His accuracy was extremely high, and he fired continuously, instantly eliminating several of the two people's small sand dunes.

  However, there were too many small sand dunes, and not many people could hit them. Those two people ran wildly, one of whom was right in front of them, letting out a loud "Ah ah ah" cry because he was rolling on the ground, his legs suddenly sinking into the sand dune. The man kept grabbing forward with both hands, but the sand was too soft and couldn't be grasped at all. The whole person was about to sink into the sand and rebirth in the Golden Lotus position.

  Everyone saw the truth, in a small sand dune, there was actually a person, but that person had become a mummy, with skin that was cracked and burst from being dried out, and you could see a pair of bloodshot hands.

  The person next to him just shouted and continued running forward in terror, directly throwing down the other person.

  Everyone was frightened, and suddenly Chang shouted: "There's a ghost!"

  The little fox suddenly darted out of the station, its body extremely agile, just like a real fox. With one jump, it leaped high and grabbed hold of someone who was about to sink into the sand. The person was pulled by the fox, leaving only their head and hands exposed outside, with a crying expression, shouting "Don't let go!"

  However, the little fox was too small in stature, and when it was pulled forward with a sudden force, it almost crawled into the hole together.

  As soon as he saw Qi San Ye, he immediately made a gesture to the thugs behind him, and Qi San Ye's thugs rushed up quickly with guns.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the scene and said, "Let's go help"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou nodded slightly, and the two of them rushed out. Wen Kai and Wen Jiu Mu were worried about them, but they couldn't just stand there either, so they also ran out to follow.

  Wen Baiyu grabbed the little fox, and the dry corpse in the sand dune unexpectedly had a lot of strength. The little fox's hands were stretched straight, almost to the point of breaking, Wen Baiyu grabbed his waist and was pulled forward with a sudden roll.

  The person who fell into the sand immediately shouted: "Save me! Save me!"

  Wan Jie Jing Hou suddenly rushed over, but did not grab Wen Bai Yu, instead he directly rushed to the side of the sand dune, and with a loud shout, grabbed the arm of the person buried in the sand, pulling him up with great force. Wan Jie Jing Hou's arm strength was very strong, and the person let out a loud cry as he was pulled out of the sand.

  At this moment, Wen Baiyu suddenly shouted "Be careful"

  Wan Kuang's wrist was suddenly grasped by a bloody and withered corpse hand.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou narrowed his eyes, and with a sudden burst of strength, he flung the dying man forward, sending him tumbling onto the sand. With a swift motion, he pulled back his leg, and to everyone's astonishment, the desiccated corpse hidden beneath the sand was yanked out in an instant. With a loud "whoosh", it was sent flying through the air.

  "Boom"

  A loud crash, the corpse fell directly beside the man who had just escaped death. The man was still panting heavily, savoring the feeling of being reborn from the dead. The corpse let out a sharp cry as it fell, scrambled to its feet and rushed towards the crowd with all fours.

  The corpse rushed up, Qi San Ye grasped the gun and aimed, firing two shots in a row, both hitting the corpse's head. The corpse's head was penetrated from side to side, making a "thud" sound as it fell into the golden sand, motionless.

  Wen Baiyu immediately rushed over and said, "Are you okay?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "Nothing."

  The chaos stopped for a moment, and the sand dunes were all still. One of them was pulled out by Wan Gui Jing Hou, while several others were buried in the ground, still bulging.

  The people in the camel team didn't react at first, now they feel a bit embarrassed. Several men with guns went to flip through the sand dunes and pulled out several desiccated corpses from inside.

  Several mummies were lined up in front of the crowd, Chang Suanpan and You Gui were trembling with fear, looking at Wen Pei and Wen Jiumu's reincarnated ghost computer system.

  Wen Baiyu felt that Chang Suanpan's reaction was problematic. Although Chang Suanpan had retreated from the front line for many years, he was still an active person in the Taoist community. His courage was surprisingly small, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he shouted "there are ghosts".

  Wen Baiyu saw them looking at her two uncles and felt even stranger.

  However, he didn't have time to wonder about these things. The little fox guide was lying on the ground, and Wen Baiyu walked over, patted his back, and said, "Are you injured?"

  The little fox lay on the ground, turned over, and gestured to Wen Baiyu to lend a hand. He sprang up from the ground, his wrist drooping slightly, hanging down, looking very unnatural.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou took a glance and said, "It's dislocated."

  He said, pulling up the little fox's arm, his palm grasping the little fox's hand, and suddenly pulling it upwards. The little fox trembled slightly, its ears seeming to quiver a bit, but it didn't say anything, narrowing its long eyes, still looking lazy.

  Mo Jie Jing Hou immediately said: "Alright."

  The little fox nodded, said thank you, and then returned to the crowd, lay on the ground with its legs up and fell asleep.

  Everyone had a feeling of escaping from death, they entered the desert and encountered an attack by mummies, this was also too eerie.

  Chang Suanpan stuttered, facing Wen Yue and Wen Jiu, saying: "Master Yue, Master Jiu..."

  Wen Baiyu curiously said: "What's going on? Are you familiar with these mummies?"

  Chang's abacus face turned pale, as if he had been hit by Wen Baiyu's words.

  Wen Kai's face was very dark, and Wen Jiu Mu's face wasn't good either. Wen Kai nodded slightly.

  Wen Baiyu was even more surprised.

  Wen Jiuzi pointed at those desiccated corpses, Wen Baiyu discovered that they were actually wearing clothes, similar to windbreakers, which were extremely old and tattered, already beyond recognition, and could not be discerned without careful observation.

  Wen Jiu Mu said: "The appearance of this clothing is very similar to what we wore when we entered the desert twenty or thirty years ago. These mummies are likely people who died in the desert at that time."

  "Really, it's a ghost come to take revenge on us!"

  Wen Kai didn't believe in revenge, at that time their situation was very dire, the desert conditions were very harsh, some died and some were injured, many people died in the desert, these people after more than 20 years, may have turned into mummies.

  After a short rest, everyone had their own thoughts and soon set off again. The guide led the way, with everyone else riding camels behind him.

  As they walked along, a sudden commotion was heard. It turned out that the little fox at the front suddenly fell off the camel with a "thud".

  Everyone was in a state of panic for a moment, they had only been walking for half a day when the guide fell off the camel and turned pale, it was unclear if he could hold on. If the guide didn't make it, they definitely wouldn't dare to venture into the desert, but with five or six hours of journey behind them, and nothing but yellow sand in front of them, they couldn't turn back either.

  Everyone immediately got off the camel to rescue the guide.

  In addition to the strong wind and sand, it was difficult to walk, so they found a place to avoid the wind. Everyone carried the little fox to a low-lying area to avoid the wind.

  The little fox's face was extremely bad, just at this time, a person "thud" fell to the ground, everyone turned their heads and looked, wasn't it that guy who was almost dragged into the sand by Kunoichi You?

  That man fell to the ground with a thud and immediately stopped moving. Everyone rushed over to lift him up, only to see that his leg had a bunch of scratch marks on it. When they rolled up his pant legs, they saw that the blood was black, which meant he must have been scratched by a corpse earlier.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou furrowed his brow and suddenly walked over, lifting the little fox's sleeve to reveal several scratch marks on its wrist as well.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "The corpse on the dry corpse has corpse poison."

  The second person to fall, had a blurry patch on his leg, perhaps because the wind and sand were too great, so he didn't notice at all, by this time it was already festering terribly, suddenly started convulsing, then spat out white foam, eyes rolled back, and in an instant stopped moving.

  Everyone was shocked and waited until the man calmed down, then went over to check his breath, but he had already stopped breathing.

  He died too quickly, and everyone was in a state of panic. They immediately looked at the guide, who had turned pale with a white face, closed eyes, purple lips, and was slightly convulsing.

  Everyone looked at this situation, Chang Suanpan immediately complained, saying: "Really, the fate can't save the ghost who should die, the guide shouldn't have gone to rescue that declining star, now it's good, what can be done"

  Wen Baiyu ignored him and took out a medical kit. Wan Jingshou said, "I'll do it."

  He took a knife and rolled up the little fox's sleeves, then began to scrape off the greenish flesh.

  His knife went in, and the little fox suddenly opened its eyes, its ears twitched once, and then quickly closed again. It must have been painful, but they didn't have anesthetics, and besides, it wouldn't be good to use them in this terrible weather.

  Wen Baiyu held steady his trembling body and said, "It hurts a bit, don't move."

  It wasn't just a little painful, but Xiao Hu Li didn't open his eyes again afterwards, with a calm face, and I thought he had fainted.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou acted quickly and ruthlessly, directly cutting off the poisoned flesh, and the little white fox's arm immediately became a bloody mess. Then he injected a dose of medicine.

  The little fox's lip color is no longer so purple, seems to be getting better, most importantly, it doesn't spit up anymore.

  It seems he was lucky, the wound where he was caught wasn't deep, unlike that dead person.

  Everyone saw that the little fox was fine, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Now, apart from food and water, the guide was the most important thing; otherwise, in the vast desert, even with a compass, it would be impossible to find a way out.

  After scraping off the poison, the little fox fell asleep directly. No one led the way, and everyone couldn't move forward, so they all rested beside him.

  After noon, the desert seemed to start cooling down. When the sun went down, the temperature dropped sharply and it was freezing cold. Without sunlight, people's breath could almost freeze into ice, and there were small snowflakes on their eyebrows.

  When night fell, a heavy snow suddenly started falling, it was indeed a goose feather-like snow, the snowflakes were very large, and they fell on the golden sand. Ten minutes passed, and immediately a white layer appeared.

  The crowd immediately set up a tent and dragged the little fox into it.

  Just as they were pitching their tent, they heard a "shasha" sound, from far and near, getting closer and closer, pressing in on them.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou immediately became vigilant, raised his head to look forward, and the desert was still a golden yellow in the morning. It seemed that it had already turned white, and a figure was rushing towards him in the dark night, passing through Ying Wei Jun, and quickly approaching.

  Many people heard the sound, all of them were on guard, took out their guns and really prepared to fire. Wen Baiyu narrowed his eyes, and saw that the figure was getting closer and closer. They lit a lamp and looked clearly in the lamplight.

  It turned out to be Xie Yan.

  Xie Yan was covered in blood, but it wasn't visible, rather it was smelled. As he ran over, the crowd caught a whiff of a strong bloody smell.

  Wen Baiyu didn't expect to run into Xie Yan in this place. Xie Yan was alone, sprinting wildly on the sand covered with white snow, as if something was chasing him.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou immediately said: "Not good, it's a snake, quickly dismantle the tent"

  Everyone heard Wan Qi Jing Hou's order and immediately began to dismantle the tent. In a few seconds, Xie Yan had already rushed over quickly, shouting: "Hurry up"

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, they heard a rustling sound, and a large number of snakes rushed towards them.

  Someone shouted "Damn it, what kind of godforsaken desert is this?"

  Someone shouted: "Here comes, open fire"

  The sound of "Boom Boom Boom" suddenly echoed on the endless snowy ground, and batches of snakes rushed towards them.

  Everyone knew that there were snakes in the desert, and they were very poisonous. They absolutely could not be bitten by a snake, or else they would definitely not survive in such harsh conditions. However, no one had ever thought that there would be so many snakes, entwined with each other, advancing towards them.

  The camel was frightened, and the crowd climbed onto the camel, without untying the rope, urging the camel to run forward in a hurry.

  The man lifted Qi San Ye onto the camel, and Qi San Ye unknowingly had a small fox in his arms.

  Wen Baiyu beckoned the two uncles to quickly get on the camel, and also let Xie Yan, who was covered in blood, climb onto the camel. Then they belatedly discovered that their camels were just right.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him up abruptly, and the two of them sat on a camel.

  The snake behind quickly caught up, and the camel group didn't need to be urged, they had already started fleeing for their lives, but they didn't know in which direction, anyway, it was already out of control.

  The crowd didn't know how long they had been running, those snakes were chasing tightly. Wen Pei took out the alcohol from his backpack, then took off his own coat, sprinkled the alcohol on it, lit a fire, and threw it over the snakes.

  The big fire swayed in the strong wind and was extinguished after burning for a short while, but those snakes were indeed afraid of fire and were stopped from pursuing.

  Everyone didn't know how long they had run, when suddenly someone shouted loudly: "Look ahead of you"

  Everyone looked around, the snow was still falling, mixed with sand and dust, and it was impossible to see clearly. After walking a little further forward, they finally saw that there was actually a city in front of them.

  However, the city looks extremely dilapidated, with most of it hidden in the wind and snow, and almost all the roofs have been blown off, leaving a scene of ruins.

  This is like an ancient city.

  Locals say there are many ancient cities in the desert.

  A camel team entered the ancient city, and a little fox didn't know if it was awakened or not. It opened its eyes, narrowed its long and narrow eyes to look around, saw Qi San Ye holding him, and shrunk his neck "I bet you love me".

  "What's wrong?"

  The little fox let out a breath and said, "Cold."

  Qī Sān Yé unbuttoned his clothes and wrapped the little fox inside, fortunately the little fox was small in size, lying in his arms just right.

  Many people entered the ancient city, although there were houses, most of them were built with stones and many had their roofs blown off, but it was still better than all being sand.

  Everyone found a house that looked quite big and could slightly avoid the wind, preparing to rest here for one night.

  Everyone got off their camels and took a headcount. Although they had been in a flurry just now, everyone was accounted for, and there was even an extra person - Xie Yan.

  Everyone didn't know Xie Yan, only Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou knew him.

  Xie Yan looked extremely disheveled, and he didn't bring any equipment or luggage, which means no water, no food, the only weapon was a gun, with only two bullets left.

  Xie Yan fell to the ground, motionless. If it weren't for his chest rising and falling rapidly, everyone would have thought he was dead.

  Although it's a house, half of the roof was blown off, and snow was leaking from above. The stone slabs on the ground seemed to be unable to withstand the wind and sand, and when stepped on, they crumbled like tofu dregs. The stone slabs were completely weathered, and the ground was all sandy, with a layer of snow covering it.

  But for a team that has escaped death twice, it's simply a warm bed.

  Everyone gathered together, started a fire, and buried the scorching hot coals in the sand. The sand conducted heat well, and everyone sat on top of it, just like they had turned on the heating.

  The little fox, feeling warm, moved its ears. Qi San Ye was changing the dressing on its arm. The gauze was all sandy because of the snow and had gotten wet. Afraid that it would get infected due to the dampness, Qi San Ye worked very efficiently. With just one look, he could be seen as an old hand in this line of work. He quickly rewrapped the little fox's arm with new gauze.

  The little fox lay on his leg, narrowing his eyes to sleep, and Wen Baiyu sat beside him watching, always feeling that this guide was really similar to the milk-white small fox raised by Qi San Ye before.

  Xie Yan was panting heavily for ten minutes before he slightly moved.

  Wen Baiyu threw a bottle of water to him, Xie Yan caught it, turned over and got up, twisted open the cap and drank it quickly, his throat rolling extremely fast, almost choking, in a short while he finished drinking the whole bottle of water, not minding that the water was cold, after drinking, he even used his blood-stained sleeve to wipe his mouth.

  Xie Yan's outline was deep and mysterious, with grey-green eyes that were very similar to Xiao Qi's, but his figure was more slender, making him look gentle. Who would have thought that he could drink water like a man, I wonder how long he had been in the desert.

  Qin Yi watched from the side, sneered and said: "What kind of person is this, don't pretend to be a good person. We've already agreed that water and food are distributed per head, if you give him some, it's yours, but don't ask for others' later."

  Wen Baiyu rolled her eyes and ignored Qin Yi.

  He said to Xie Yun: "How are you here, Xie Lin'gong?"

  Xie Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know."

  Wen Baiyu didn't know if he was answering the first question or the second one.

  Xie Yan took a couple of deep breaths and continued: "I followed Mr. Wei into the desert."

  Wen Baiyu heard a strange term, "stalking", reborn as a good person is hard to come by.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the many wounds on his body, all filled with sand, and threw him her medical kit. Xie Yan's movements were very nimble, while cleaning his wounds, he said: "Every year in December, sir will leave for one or two months, not allowing me to follow, I've always been curious, this time I planned to secretly follow sir, didn't expect him to enter the desert, I had no preparation at all, after entering the desert, we quickly got separated."

  Wen Baiyu was somewhat surprised. Xie Linxiao would leave for one or two months every December, and Xie Yan had no idea where he went.

  Wen Baiyu recalled what Wen Lei and Wen Jiumu said, Xie Linxiao was previously called Linfeng, and died in a dry well in the desert. Thinking about it, Xie Linxiao would enter the desert once every year, this is absolutely not a coincidence.

  Xie Yan treated his own wounds, while Wan Qi Jing Hou fed the little ones.

  Xie Yan suddenly let out an "ah" and Wen Baiyu said: "What's wrong?"

  Xie Yan touched his own neck, reached into his collar and touched it again twice, suddenly stood up: "My pendant is gone."

  "What pendant"

  Xie Yan said: "It was given by Mr., a wooden carving, about this big."

  Xie Yan said, gesturing to a small wooden carving, and Wen Baiyu said: "Is it what you lost when you ran just now?"

  Xie Yan walked out of the house, and Wen Baiyu stopped him, saying: "The wind and snow outside are too heavy, where do you want to go?"

  Xie Yan said: "This thing is very important, sir asked me to keep it well, I can't lose it."

  Wen Baiyu still wanted to stop him, but Xie Yun's attitude was very resolute. He had to go out and find it. Wen Baiyu didn't know what kind of pendant it was, but it seemed so important. Perhaps it was just something that Xie Lin said he should keep safe, but in fact, Xie Yun himself didn't even know why it was important.

  Xie Yan walked out of the house, and everyone else thought he was crazy. Just then, Xie Yan suddenly turned around and came back in again.

  Qin Yi sneered and added a few more sarcastic remarks towards Xie Yan.

  Xie Yan took out something from his pocket, which looked like a piece of tattered cloth stained with a lot of blood. He looked at Wen Baiyu and said, "Thank you."

  As she spoke, she tossed the tattered cloth to Wen Baiyu.

  Wen Baiyu took it over and looked at it, his hands suddenly shaking, this is a heavenly book.

  It's the heavenly book taken out of Liu Yu's tomb, and it really made Xie Lin swap.

  Xie Yan was very calm and said: "The master said that this thing can save his life, I know your friend is also poisoned, this is a copy, the words on it are true, originally I couldn't give it to you."

  Wen Baiyu was somewhat excited, nodded and said: "This is enough, it's my turn to thank you."

  Xie Yan shook his head, zipped up his clothes all the way to his head, and directly plunged into the wind and snow, walking out again.

  Xie Yan's body had no food, no water, only two bullets for self-defense. Wen Baiyu was a bit worried and fell silent for two seconds, looking at the torn cloth in her hand.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou raised an eyebrow and said: "Worried"

  Wen Baiyu nodded, and Wan Jingshou said: "Then let's go take a look, maybe it just fell outside."

  Wen Baiyu immediately stood up, Qin Yi looked at him like a madman. The queen is the female partner.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou followed behind him, and the two of them soon left the house as well.

  Xie Yan was just outside, shrinking his neck, searching non-stop in the snowy ground, following the direction they came from.

  Xie Yan saw Wen Baiyu and Wan Jinhou, somewhat surprised.

  Wen Baiyu said: "What does the pendant look like?"

  Xie Yan described it briefly, a small wooden carving about three centimeters long, actually a thick wooden plaque with something carved on it, Xie Yan really couldn't say what.

  This thing was given to Xie Yan by Xie Lin, many years ago, and has been worn around Xie Yan's neck ever since. Because Xie Lin is prone to forgetting things, he almost reminds Xie Yan once a week to take good care of this necklace.

  Wen Baiyu really didn't understand what kind of ghost pendant this was.

  They searched for a long time in the strong wind and heavy snow, but there was no ancient city at all. Maybe it fell somewhere when they escaped just now. The pendant wasn't something heavy anyway, let alone a small wooden sign that could be blown away by the wind.

  Xie Yan was flipping through the snowy ground as he walked towards the outside of the ancient city when he suddenly made a thoughtful sound and called Wen Baiyu over to take a look.

  They didn't find the pendant, but they saw a stone tablet on the ground. The stone tablet seemed to have fallen to the ground with a loud crash, and was buried in yellow sand and white snow. The rock paintings on the stone tablet were still quite clear. If Xie Yan hadn't dug three feet into the ground to look for the pendant, they wouldn't have noticed it.

  This stone monument seems like a kind of totem, very ancient, and the carving technique is very simple.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the stone tablet in surprise and said: "Zhu Jiu Yin"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stretched out his hand and touched it, which was a rock painting on the stone tablet. The most obvious thing carved on it was a candle nine yin, also known as a candle dragon.

  The Candle Dragon is very distinctive, as it resembles a dragon but has no claws, is actually a snake with a human head, its snake mouth open, and its throat contains fire essence, looking extremely majestic.

  And this Jiuxin candle is different from other totems seen by Wen Baiyu.

  Chulong is an ancient divine being, many ancient tribes worship Chulong, and many use Chulong as a totem. There is a legend that the northwest was originally dark, but Chulong carried fire essence and illuminated the northwest, so many northwestern tribes worship Chulong.

  And these northwestern tribes, it is unknown whether they include the country of the Queen Mother of the West.

  The tail of this dragon is wrapped around a snake, which is definitely a snake and not two dragons entwined together, as the snake has no flame spirit or human head, but just an ordinary snake.

  But to say that it's ordinary is not quite right, after all, what snake can compare with the body of a dragon candle? This giant snake and the dragon candle's tail are entwined together. Although it's much thinner than the dragon candle, it's absolutely a giant snake.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Why are these totems twisted together?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said faintly: "This is a map."

  Wen Baiyu heard the two words and almost twisted his tongue off, saying: "This strip of dragon is with a snake"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "Zhu Long only has males, no females. If you want to breed, you must find other breeds."

  Wen Baiyu glanced at Wan Jiahao with a flicker of her eyes and muttered, "Really, no sense of shame, indulging in forgotten sorrow."

  It seems that this giant snake is a huge female snake.

  However, this stone tablet is strange, with a dragon and a mother snake in it, but there are also many people carved around it, as if they are watching.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou explained: "In ancient times, many tribes worshipped fertility as a sacred thing."

  Wen Bai Yu Xin said, "That can't be allowed to happen either."

  It seems that the people in this ancient city should be worshiping the Candle Dragon, and they even found a giant mother snake to pair with the Candle Dragon.

  Xie Yan didn't find his pendant in the ancient city, and it seemed like he was going to look for it outside. Wen Baiyu wanted to stop him, but Xie Yan was determined to go out, which would surely lead to more harm than good. However, Xie Yan was unexpectedly stubborn, despite his usual silence and obedient appearance towards Xie Linlang. The fact that he secretly followed Xie Linlang into the desert revealed his stubborn nature.

  Xie Yan was just about to leave the ancient city when he suddenly heard a loud "boom" sound coming from behind him, like an explosion.

  Everyone was shocked and fell to the ground, the earth was shaking, Wen Baiyu struggled to get up from the ground and said: "What's going on?"

  The house they were camping in was already dilapidated and suddenly collapsed with a loud crash, the people inside stumbled out, fortunately the house had already been badly damaged, if it had collapsed again, it wouldn't have killed anyone.

  The people inside were in a very sorry state, rushing out with their luggage.

  The rumbling sound continued, and people rushed out of their houses to calm down the frightened camels.

  "What the hell is this? Is it an earthquake?"

  The shock slowly subsided, but the camels still looked frightened. So many camels were tied together, and everyone rushed to untie them, not letting all the camels run away while still tied up.

  Several camels were frightened and couldn't be held back, they ran wildly.

  Immediately afterwards, there was another loud rumble, and the collapsed ruins were suddenly heaved up by something, with stones, snow, and yellow sand flying everywhere in the air, pouring down like rain.

  "Excuse me?"

  Someone shouted loudly, and the crowd turned their heads to look over. In the pitch-black night, amidst the ruins, something suddenly burst out - two large headlights, green in color, emitting a massive beam of light with extremely strong penetrating power, each lamp as big as a washbasin.

  "My god, it's a snake! Such a big snake, run quickly!"

  It was unclear who shouted, then came the sound of "bang bang bang" gunfire, bullets hitting the snake's head that had poked out, the snake scales were extremely hard and actually bounced all the bullets back.

  Wen Baiyu took a step back and looked at the stone monument on the ground, saying: "Why does this snake look just like the one painted on the monument?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "The charcoal buried in the sand warmed up the snake."

  Wen Baiyu really wanted to scold his mother, there was a giant snake in the underground of the ancient city. The snake must have been hibernating in the icy snow, but the hot charcoal buried in the sand by everyone actually woke up the giant snake.

  This thing should be raised by an ancient tribe, a rebirth medical crown for capturing beasts, specially used for the Candle Dragon.

  The giant snake raised its head, with two eyeballs like searchlights. Although it was smaller than the body of the candle dragon, it was also extremely huge.

  A huge snake emerged, shook its head, and immediately locked onto Wan Xi Jing Hou. Wen Bai Yu's heart cursed silently, this thing was for Zhu Long**, Wan Xi Jing Hou himself was Zhu Long, perhaps the mother snake already had an instinct, so it stared at Wan Xi Jing Hou with glowing eyes

  Wen Baiyu thought to herself, it couldn't get any better than this. Wan Kuangjing had progressed from attracting women to attracting men, and now he was even attracting snakes. The scope of his peach blossoming luck had expanded to include all species.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou took a step back, suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed Wen Bai Yu violently. Wen Bai Yu was pushed by him, fell backwards, and tumbled far away, followed by a loud "boom".

  That giant snake indeed came over, "whoosh" and rolled towards General Wan, its massive body seemingly wanting to wrap around General Wan's body. However, General Wan reacted quickly, jumped up, stepped on the snake's body, "thud thud thud" a few times, jumped onto the snake's head, swiftly crouched down, and fiercely stomped his foot on the snake's head.

  With a loud "boom", the snake head seemed to have suffered heavy damage, and it smashed into the ground, instantly creating a large pit, with half of the snake head buried in the pit. It was unknown how much strength Wang Jinghou had used.

  At the same time, Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly jumped down from the snake's head and quickly ran forward, as if to lure the giant snake away from the crowd.

  The giant snake's head was smashed, and it seemed to be in a rage, constantly swinging its tail. With a "whooshing" sound, it swung towards Wen Baiyu, who quickly ducked his head and rolled on the ground. The snake's tail brushed past his head, causing a huge impact that made Wen Baiyu's scalp ache.

  The giant snake seemed to be afraid of Wan Zongjing Hou, raised its snake head, and the huge searchlight-like eyes kept scanning the crowd, almost blinding everyone with its radiance. For an instant, some people were violently blinded and couldn't see anything clearly.

  The giant snake seems to have locked onto another target, this time it's Qi San Ye.

  I don't know if the giant snake was bullying Qi San Ye because his legs and feet were not agile.

  Qī Sān Yé sat in his wheelchair, the giant snake suddenly raised its head and wrapped its tail around Qī Sān Yé. It didn't seem to want to eat him, but rather...

  Wen Baiyu thought that this snake must be very hungry and had been sleeping on the ground for a long time.

  The little fox rushed over and bumped into Qi San's wheelchair, causing the two to roll out. The giant snake didn't get wrapped up and suddenly became furious, as if it felt that the little fox was in the way. It opened its snake mouth, revealing huge fangs, and bit at the little fox fiercely.

  This bite is definitely not just poisoning, the huge fangs can directly bite the small fox in half.

  The little fox quickly scrambled up, rolled forward, and with a "thud", the snake's head flailed about in mid-air before crashing to the ground. It was actually dazed from the impact, looking like this snake only cared about growing its body size, but not very intelligent.

  The snake was struck and completely enraged, its tail wagging wildly, all the camels were frightened, rushing into the strong wind and heavy snow at an astonishing speed, throwing their supplies everywhere, and the tightly bound supplies were directly dragged away by the camels.

  The giant snake seemed to be provoked by the little fox, and had already made a killing move. The little fox was agile in shape, just like a real fox, jumping open one after another. However, the giant snake was too big, and the little fox jumped twice before the giant snake pounced over, opening its huge mouth and biting down fiercely.

  The little fox still had injuries on its body and fell to the ground, hitting its arm just right, and instantly fell headfirst.

  Everyone watched in shock and horror, Qi San Ye fell to the ground, his legs crippled, unable to move without a wheelchair. He grasped two iron balls in his hand, and with a fierce squeeze, the hollow iron ball "cracked" open, revealing many iron pellets inside. The outside story of Wang Chuqi, the son of the king.

  Qī Sān Yé's eyes narrowed, and Tiě Dànzi suddenly swung out, "Pā pā" two sounds, hitting the giant snake's head.

  The giant snake wasn't even afraid of bullets, but was actually hit by the iron egg and let out a "boom" sound, directly flipping over, its massive body spinning in mid-air before landing on the ground with a "thud".

  The little fox took the opportunity to climb up, quickly ran towards Qi San Ye, picked him up from the ground and carried him on his back. Although he was very small in stature, carrying Qi San Ye didn't seem to be a bit of a burden, and he still ran very fast.

  The giant snake suffered two consecutive setbacks, first being knocked on the head by Wan Qi Jing Hou, and then being beaten directly out by a small iron egg. It started to pant heavily, and then used its snake eyes to scan for its next target.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou grabbed Wen Bai Yu and said: "Run quickly"

  Wen Baiyu didn't know what Wan Jie Jinghou was tense about, but then he heard Wan Jie Jinghou say: "You have my scent on you, this snake might be looking for you."

  Before Wan Xi Jing Hou's voice had faded away, the giant snake really raised its head towards Wen Bai Yu. In his heart, Wen Bai Yu shouted loudly, what kind of ghost is this? He wasn't a candle dragon, and it didn't look easy to bully either, what a damned smell.

  The giant snake seemed to be familiar with the smell of the dragon, and really chased after Wen Baiyu. Wen Baiyu ran while lifting his hand to sniff his arm, what smell was there? If you had to say a smell, he indeed used a kind of shampoo that Wang Qi Jing Hou used.

  A giant snake slithered forward, swinging its tail and chasing after them. The crowd was in disarray, with those hit by the snake's tail flying out directly.

  There was a loud "boom" sound, and the sand seemed to be unable to withstand the weight of the giant snake. A piece of sandy ground suddenly sank in, and Wen Baiyu's eyes widened as her legs plunged downward.

  The giant snake also fell into the sand pit, constantly struggling, its huge tail "boom" slammed down, Wan Qi Jinghou pushed Wen Baiyu hard, and the snake's tail happened to hit them in between, instantly creating a large pit, with flying sand and dust filling the sky.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly fell into a pit, and then opened her eyes wide, with her pupils turning into rubies. The next moment, she wanted to transform into a swan and fly out directly.

  At this time, however, a hand grabbed his arm. Wen Baiyu looked up and found it was Xie Yan.

  Xie Yan pulled him up from the edge of the pit, grabbing onto him and pulling upwards. The pit was still collapsing, but Xie Yan managed to pull him to safety. Wen Baiyu turned back to look, but there was no sign of Wan Kuang Jing Hou anymore.

  A giant snake rolled out of the sand pit, unwilling to give up chasing Wen Baiyu. Just as Wen Baiyu was searching for Wan Qi Jinghou, the giant snake suddenly wrapped its body around Wen Baiyu's body, and its huge tail searched for Wen Baiyu's lower body, constantly rubbing wildly.

  The huge snake's mouth opened and closed, emitting a foul odor that made Wen Baiyu cough.

  Wen Baiyu had had enough of this snake, its tail was so big that if it coiled up again, Wen Baiyu would be crippled.

  Xie Yan's eyes watched as the giant snake wrapped up Wen Baiyu and immediately fired a shot upwards, "Boom" hitting the giant snake, but the giant snake's skin was thick and tough, only being knocked off balance for a moment.

  Xie Yan only had one bullet left, the crowd around him was in chaos, everyone was fleeing for their lives, scattered by the giant snake. Qin Yi was right next to him, holding a gun and wearing a backpack, but he didn't help, watching as Wen Baiyu was dragged away, seemingly smiling.

  Wen Baiyu was coiled in the snake's body, his eyes getting redder and redder as he stared at the giant serpent. The massive snake body almost submerged him, and people outside couldn't see where Wen Baiyu was. This guy is a merman.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly pulled out his hand and pressed it on the giant snake's body. His palm let out a "whoosh" sound as flames burst forth.

  The giant snake's skin was very thick, but it also feared the flames. Suddenly, it let out a "hiss" and its tightly coiled body loosened up, as if it had been scared stiff by Wen Baiyu. With a swift motion, it burrowed into the sand, creating a large pit in an instant. The giant snake rapidly dug its way deeper.

  Xie Yan immediately let out a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the ground, staring at the large hole that had appeared on the ground. The giant snake seemed to have escaped already.

  Wen Baiyu was thrown up and didn't crash to the ground in a sorry state, instead landing steadily on the ground. Qin Yi was somewhat surprised, thinking that this time Wen Baiyu was definitely dead, but unexpectedly, for some unknown reason, the giant snake suddenly went mad and ran away.

  Wen Baiyu immediately looked around, the giant snake had run away, and for a moment it was quiet again. However, the crowd had already been dispersed by the commotion, they had long since fled the ancient city. By Wen Baiyu's side were only Xie Yan and Qin Yi, no one else could be seen.

  Wen Baiyu quickly looked around, but couldn't see any sign of Wan Jinhong. He didn't know where Wan Jinhong had gone after they were separated earlier.

  They returned to the ancient city, their luggage scattered all over the ground, with no one in sight.

  Wen Baiyu walked over, quickly sweeping all the luggage on the ground into his backpack. After searching around, he couldn't find his own backpack. The little ones were all in the backpack and should be with Wan Qi Jing Hou, but now they were nowhere to be seen.

  Wen Baiyu hastily went to find others and called out to Xie Yan to carry their luggage on his back, as all of their camels had run away, leaving them without any means of transportation.

  Xie Yan walked over and also started picking up things on the ground to stuff into his backpack. Qin Yi rushed ahead of them to pick up food, water, and weapons, stuffing a big bag full, then went to grab more powerful firearms, shoving them into his own backpack.

  Qin Yi had two bags on his back and was holding another one. The amount of food he was carrying was more than what Wen Baiyu and Xie Yun combined had.

  Wen Bai didn't bother to reason with him, not wanting to waste any more words. He slung his backpack over his shoulder, grabbed a few guns and stuffed them in. Although these things were powerful, they would be useless against truly formidable opponents.

  They waited in the ancient city until dawn, but no one else returned to gather, and there was no sound from the intercom. No matter how they shouted, no one responded to them. In order to prevent the giant snake from running out again, everyone dared not continue waiting in the ancient city.

  Wen Baiyu didn't know where the ancient well was exactly, but before they set off, they all looked at the map, and their target was northwest.

  Wen Baiyu took out a compass, looked at the direction, pointed and said: "Let's go."

  Qin Yi sneered and said, "Now there are only three of us left. You're the young master of the Wen family, spoiled and pampered, with no practical experience at all. Both of you have to listen to me, I'm in charge now."

  There is no longer a Wan Xi Jing Hou, Qin Yi's face can be said to be exposed without doubt, ordering Wen Bai Yu and Xie Yan around.

  The wind and sand were very strong, Wen Baiyu and Xie Yan both didn't feel like speaking.

  Three people walked in a northwest direction, but this direction was too vague, and they didn't know how far to go. From dawn till noon, they kept walking forward, stopping for half an hour at midday to rest before continuing on their way, shrouded in uncertainty.

  The three of them walked together until nightfall, watching as the sun was about to be engulfed. All around was a sea of yellow sand, and they would have to spend the night camping under this vast expanse of sand.

  Wen Baiyu took out a telescope from her backpack and looked into the distance for half a day, seeing only a hazy yellow landscape. Suddenly, she froze and said, "There's something ahead."

  Qin Yi snatched the binoculars and looked ahead, after a while, he burst out laughing and shouted loudly: "There's a temple in front! My son might be reborn, there might be someone!"

  Qin Yi took the lead and rushed forward, Wen Baiyu was a little unbelievable that there would be people in such a place.

  As they rushed to the front, Qin Yi's smile solidified. This was a broken temple that had been damaged, perhaps someone had been there before, but now it was absolutely impossible for anyone to be there. Half of the temple was covered with yellow sand, and a piece of rubble was broken.

  Qin Yi was extremely disappointed, but this place was better than sleeping in the yellow sand after all. The three of them immediately walked over.

  As they walked past, they saw a small sand dune not far from the broken temple, which looked very similar to the sand dunes of the mummified corpse's hiding place. Everyone kept an eye on it.

  Wen Baiyu saw the small sand dune move slightly, revealing a white object that looked like a wool scarf.

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat as she quickly ran over, digging her hands into the sand to reveal a person underneath - it was their guide, Xiao Hu Li.

  Xie Yan rushed over to help rescue people as soon as he saw it.

  The little fox was buried in the sand, he should also be scattered, a person walked here, but there was no equipment on his body, his lips were dry and cracked, wounds inflamed, and he fell outside the broken temple, buried by the sand.

  Wen Baiyu picked up the little fox because it was too small. Wen Baiyu held it horizontally, and still appeared very tall and large in stature.

  The crowd rushed into the broken temple, and the little fox's lips were extremely dry. Wen Baiyu gave him some water to drink, then quickly treated his wound. Qin Yi just stood by and watched, not even lending a hand to help.

  Half an hour later, the little fox woke up, its narrow eyes scanned them for a moment, and then closed its tired eyes.

  "Is there anyone else with you?"

  The little fox's voice was unable to speak, could only shake his head, and saw that they had also dispersed.

  Four people hid in the broken temple, after the sun disappeared, it started to snow heavily again. The broken temple made a "whirring" sound of leaking wind, and the wind mixed with snow and sand blew from all directions, almost blowing everyone through.

  Everyone opened their luggage and started eating, Qin Yi carried two backpacks and held another one, which had a lot of water and weapons inside, it was very heavy, he was panting with exhaustion, but didn't want to share with others.

  Wen Baiyu and Xie Yan divided their food and water with the little fox.

  The little fox eats very elegantly, but eats very quickly, with a white-colored fur collar around its neck, really looks like a fox.

  After eating, everyone started to feel drowsy and cold, and the hard buns they ate seemed to be stuck in their stomachs.

  Everyone took out their sleeping bags to rest, and it was absolutely impossible to move forward in the desert at night. Fortunately, they met a guide, and the little fox had a strong sense of direction, which could lead them to continue moving forward.

  The white cat's eyelids were fighting, and soon fell asleep. Its head felt a bit heavy, probably caught a cold. With such strong winds, it's already good that it didn't become paralyzed.

  Wen Baiyu was fast asleep when he suddenly heard a loud roar and woke up with a start, thinking that the giant snake had caught up to him again. He opened his eyes to find Qin Yi standing before him.

  Qin Yi didn't know when he woke up, with a crazy expression on his face, pinching the neck of their guide. The small fox-like body was being pressed to the ground by Qin Yi, constantly tearing and pulling, as if trying to rip off his scarf.

  Xie Yan was also a vigilant person and immediately woke up, but neither of them knew what had happened.

  Qin Yi was like a madman, the little fox was injured and somewhat weak, almost being strangled to death by Qin Yi. Qin Yi pinched his neck while pulling off his fur scarf, "thud" - a slap landed on the little fox's face.

  The little fox's face suddenly turned bright red and swelled up in an instant.

  Wen Baiyu immediately sprang up from the ground, grabbed Qin Yi's collar, and violently flung him backwards. Qin Yi tried to pounce forward again but was caught by Xie Yan, who swung his arm and sent him flying into the wall of the ruined temple with a loud "thud".

  Wen Baiyu glared at Qin Yi on the ground, her voice cold, saying: "What are you doing?"

  Qin Yi let out a "hmmph" and said: "I'm feeling cold, I want his scarf."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly wanted to punch Qin Yi in the face, he wanted the little fox's scarf so much that he almost choked him to death, the little fox was their guide, if they really choked him to death, they would not survive in the desert.

  The little fox struggled to its feet, somewhat weak, narrowed its already narrow eyes, touched its cheekbone, which was swollen high, and it hurt as soon as it touched.

  Qin Yi got up from the ground, smiled at Wen Baiyu, and suddenly raised his gun, pointing it at them. "I've been looking down on you for a long time," he said. "You're just being kept by Wan Kuang Jing Hou, right? How come when Wan Kuang Jing Hou is not around, you think you can take advantage of the young one? You're still so arrogant even after being cuckolded?"

  His words had just reached the halfway point when Wen Baiyu suddenly narrowed his eyes, Qin Yi didn't see him move, but a white light shot over, and his cheek instantly felt a burning sensation. Something flew past his face with a "whooshing" sound, and was embedded directly into the wall of the broken temple.

  Qin Yi was frightened and let out a loud cry, turning his head to look back. To his surprise, it was a dagger. The dagger looked very unusual, seemingly made of bone but emitting a metallic luster, with a cold light that almost illuminated the entire dilapidated temple.

  Qin Yi's face was slashed with a big gash, his lips trembling with fear. Wen Baiyu's hand opened and the Phoenix Bone Dagger emitted a "humming" golden sound. The dagger flashed back into Wen Baiyu's hand with a "whoosh", and with a soft "hiss", Wen Baiyu casually sheathed the Phoenix Bone Dagger.

  Qin Yi was so frightened that he couldn't move, he didn't even see Wen Baiyu make a move, his breathing became heavy, he retreated several steps, touched his face, such a deep wound, must have ruined his looks, his hand was covered in blood, and he glared at Wen Baiyu with anger.

  Qin Yi's fingers were tightly hooked on the trigger, as if he had already made up his mind to kill, searching for an opening to attack them.

  Xie Yan's palms were slightly sweaty, they had guns in their hands, but not as powerful as Qin Yi's firepower. Who knew that Qin Yi could still turn the tables under such adverse conditions, and because of a scarf.

  Qin Yi's face twitched, and he suddenly raised his gun, aiming at Wen Baiyu just as he was about to fire. Xie Yan shouted loudly: "Be careful!"

  However, Qin Yi had not yet pulled the trigger when suddenly a loud rumbling sound was heard, and a huge snake emerged from the underground of the broken temple, which was surprisingly the same snake that Wen Baiyu had chased away earlier.

  A giant snake emerged, and with a "crack" it bit down on Qin Yi's waist. Before he could even react, there was a loud "crash" sound, and Qin Yi was bitten in two. His lower body was stuck in the snake's mouth, while his upper body was flung out, slamming into the roof of the ruined temple with a loud "thud".

  A loud "whoosh" sound, blood splattered everywhere, dripping down the broken roof with a "drip-drip-drop" sound, covering three people. Sanmao's brother was very busy.

  The giant snake bit off Qin Yi in less than a second, this change was too fast, almost like an ambush.

  "Wen Baiyu shouted loudly: 'Run quickly, it's going to collapse!'"

  As expected, a giant snake swung its tail and slammed it onto the old temple. The old temple couldn't withstand the force and collapsed directly.

  Three people dragged their luggage and rushed out of the broken temple. A huge force threw them directly, rolling in the sand and snow.

  The crowd rushed out of the broken temple, and the giant snake chased after them relentlessly. At this moment, in the distant sky, a burst of flames suddenly exploded, "Boom!" A huge fireball burst open in the sky, like the most magnificent fireworks.

  Xie Yan looked up at the sky in shock, the flames were extremely distant, they could still faintly hear the sound, saying: "What is that thing?"

  Fire Essence

  Wen Bai Yu looked up at the horizon in surprise, that was Huo Jing, could it be Wan Kuang Jing Hou, guiding them on their way, like a signal, if someone saw the huge flames, they would definitely gather over.

  "Come on, let's go towards the firelight."

  The huge flames were about to disappear, and the giant snake behind was startled by the flames, but soon it would catch up again.

  The little fox crawled up from the ground, looking at the flames in the sky, as if recording its position. The giant snake rolled over, and Xie Yan fired several shots at it, but that damned snake's skin was too thick.

  Wen Baiyu immediately rushed towards the giant snake, scaring Xie Yan to shout "Wen Baiyu" twice. However, Wen Baiyu ran very fast, and with the giant snake rushing head-on, in less than two seconds, Wen Baiyu and the giant snake almost collided.

  The giant snake must have thought that Wen Baiyu was going to fight it, so it curled up its tail and prepared for battle. But instead, Wen Baiyu suddenly jumped onto the snake's back, mimicking the movements of Wan Kuangjinghou. He quickly climbed upwards, his actions smooth and effortless, just like Wan Kuangjinghou's had been earlier.

  But it's really hard when you actually try to practice, the snake's scales are too smooth and there's sand on them, so they're slippery to step on.

  Wen Baiyu climbed up and fiercely trampled on the snake's head, while Feng Gu's dagger stabbed down at the same time.

  A strange cry of "Eeek".

  The giant snake suddenly raised its head, violently shaking its body, and Wen Baiyu was thrown off. Due to the presence of Xiao Hu Li and Xie Yan, Wen Baiyu didn't spread his wings. Xie Yan rushed over and became a human cushion, and the two of them rolled away from the snake's coils, rolling down the sand dune. The little fox chased after them from behind.

  The huge snake was injured by Wen Baiyu and did not dare to chase again, turned around and ran away. Wen Baiyu and Xie Yan hugged each other, both desperately trying to stop the rolling, but the sand dune was a bit steep, and they rolled down with a rumbling sound, unable to stop at all.

  Wen Baiyu closed her mouth, and the sand kept rolling into it. Her eyes were full of yellow sand, and her mind was a complete mess. Just then, there was a sudden "shasha" sound, and a figure rushed over from behind the little fox, charging towards them. The dune was very steep, but the person ran extremely fast and didn't fall directly down.

  Suddenly, Wen Baiyu and Xie Yan stopped rolling down frantically. Someone grabbed Wen Baiyu's arm, and Wen Baiyu also grabbed Xie Yan's arm.

  The white feathered arrow whizzed past, making Wen Bai's head spin as he turned around. He looked up to see that it was actually Wan Kuang Jing Hou.

  Wen Baiyu took a deep breath, and Wan Qi Jinghou pulled him up. Xie Yan also got up, standing on the slope of the sand dune, panting heavily, as if he had just given birth to a child.

  The little fox ran over from behind, panting heavily.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou's back was still carrying someone, surprisingly it was Qi San Ye, but the others were nowhere to be found.

  Everyone climbed up from the sand dunes and sat on the ground, Wen Baiyu was still a bit dizzy, turned around and fell onto Wan Qi Jinghou's legs, panting heavily.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'How did you end up here?'"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "I just saw smoke and fire in the sky, coming from the direction of the smoke and fire."

  "That's not what you said"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head.

  But that huge flame was absolutely not just fireworks, it was the fire essence of a dragon.

  Wen Baiyu checked the backpack of Wan Xi Jinghou, and the little ones were all inside, seemingly unaware of the danger outside. Xiao Xuehua was hugging a small feather, while Xiao Zhulong was holding an egg, sleeping particularly soundly.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou is here, the small feather that can spit fire and the egg with fire essence are all here, who can explode the fire essence in the sky?

  Could it be that there is still a dragon in this vast desert?

  Everyone gathered together, pitched a tent, in the icy snow, all people squeezed into the tent and slept with their heads together.

  Wen Baiyu's teeth chattered with cold, and Wan Jiejinghou held him in his arms, kissed Wen Baiyu's lips, and said: "All cracked."

  Wen Baiyu subconsciously licked her lips, which were indeed chapped. This was the desert, after all - dry and cold, a place where chapping was inevitable.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou whispered softly in his ear, "Missing me?"

  They parted ways for a day at that time when they were dispersed by the giant snake, Wen Baiyu was worried, but he didn't have as thick a skin as Wan Jingshou, and couldn't say it out directly.

  "Think I'll kiss you once, don't think I'll kiss you twice, how's that?"

  Wēn Bái Yǔ: "I'm going home"

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a bit helpless, Wan Qi Jinghou was cold and indifferent in front of people, with an inscrutable expression, but actually he was a sulky and unscrupulous person.

  Wen Baiyu looked into the pitch-black eyes of Wan Kuang Jing Hou, being tightly hugged by him. The two people were mutually feeling each other's body temperature. The tent was very small and their voices were also very low. Xie Yan seemed to have fallen asleep, while on the other side, Qi San Ye and Xiao Hu Li's breathing was also very stable.

  Wen Baiyu licked her dry and cracked lips, slowly leaned in, and kissed Wan Jingshou's lips.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's breathing trembled, his lips holding onto Wen Bai Yu's, gently licking, until Wen Bai Yu's lips turned rosy, and then he used his lower body to collide with Wen Bai Yu, hard as iron.

  Wen Baiyu's breathing also shook slightly, and she lowered her voice to say: "You're crazy"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "That's also your fault, help me"

  Wen Baiyu's tense face was covered in sweat, the tent was so small, what if someone heard them? Wen Baiyu's breathing seemed to be affected, growing heavier and heavier. Wan Jingshou pressed his lips against Wen Baiyu's, swallowing the rough sound of his breathing directly into his throat.

  Wen Baiyu's hands were all sore, and Wan Jie Jing Hou finally managed to vent out, embracing Wen Baiyu's neck and constantly kissing his neck, overflowing with passion that transcended the armor.

  Wen Baiyu's neck was very sensitive, and when Wan Jingshou gently rubbed it, he felt extremely comfortable. Not to mention when he slowly kissed him, Wen Baiyu felt both ticklish and comfortable, his breathing trembling constantly.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "Do you want me to help you too?"

  Wen Baiyu glared at him, originally wanting to take a deep breath and suppress it, but Wan Jingshou always spoke in his ear with a low and husky voice, blowing hot air on his ear.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help it anymore, Wan Qi Jinghou's hand slipped in, not touching him in front, using his fingers to tease the place where he was hard to open his mouth.

  Wen Baiyu felt like he was going crazy, his hands clutched around Mo Jiahao's arm, feeling the other man's fingers, as Mo Jiahao's other hand pinched his wrists, not letting him move on his own. With only Mo Jiahao's fingers to rely on, Wen Baiyu's mind went completely blank, seeing stars in front of his eyes, waves of white light exploding before him, unable to make a sound, he clutched at Mo Jiahao's arm and started shaking violently.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and bit Wen Bai Yu's ear, saying: "It feels so good"

  Her face still flushed with anger, Wen Baiyu gritted her teeth and said, "Go die."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou leaned in close to his ear and said, "Then you should be heartbroken."

  Wen Baiyu hummed in her nose and said, "What a thick skin."

  Wen Bai's face was flushed with shame, and he couldn't bear it anymore. Wan Jie Jing Hou used his hand to tease him, and the two of them ended up covered in sticky stuff. Wan Jie Jing Hou dragged him out of the tent, and they changed clothes under the icy sky and snowy ground.

  Xie Yan slept very soundly, previously he was alone in the desert, it wasn't easy to meet people, and after eating and drinking water, he had consumed a lot of physical strength, so he slept very heavily.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou and Wen Bai Yu emerged from the tent, and Qi San Ye immediately opened his eyes. He heard a "heh heh" panting sound, and the small fox sleeping beside him also opened its eyes, constantly opening its mouth to pant.

  Qī Sān Yé smiled and pinched the little fox's ear, saying: "Little guy, you're so lacking in self-control."

  The little fox's narrow eyes narrowed, and the hot air coming out of its nose and mouth carried an indescribable fragrance. Its lips stuck to Qi San Ye's body, and its hands hugged Qi San Ye's waist.

  "Shh," said Qi San Ye, lowering his voice. "No way, let's go back and talk about it later. The smell on you is too strong, they'll discover us. Shh, be quiet for a bit."

  The little fox's narrow eyes gleamed with a watery light, gazing at Qi San Ye in a daze, biting her own lip, seemingly very obedient. After suppressing it for a moment, the fragrance in the tent suddenly weakened and was blown away by the strong wind, disappearing instantly.

  Fortunately, there was no one in the desert. Wen Baiyu never thought that one day he would have to change clothes outside the tent, it couldn't be any better.

  After changing clothes, Wan Qi Jing Hou hugged Wen Bai Yu again and kissed his lips. Wen Bai Yu smelled a strange fragrance between his breaths, and his breathing suddenly became heavy.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "So enthusiastic"

  Wen Baiyu only then noticed her own loss of composure, blinked her eyes, took a deep breath and said: "Do you smell anything?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou shook his head. Wen Bai Yu had only smelled the scent for a moment, and then it disappeared again.

  Two people quickly returned to the tent, and Wan Qi Jing Hou hugged Wen Bai Yu, letting him lean on his arm to sleep. The beautiful man came.

  Wen Baiyu was sleeping dazedly when he suddenly heard a "huh" sound, and Wan Kuang Jinghou also quickly opened his eyes.

  The little fox suddenly shook its body and quickly rubbed against Qi San Ye's chest.

  Everyone was woken up by his sudden gasp, and they raised their heads vigilantly. The little fox stared with its eyes wide open, pointing to the outside of the tent, indicating that everyone should look out.

  A figure was seen clinging to their tent

  Outside, there was someone, but the figure stuck to the tent, not speaking, not making a sound, as if kneeling on the ground, one hand stretched out with palm against the tent, motionless, like an ice sculpture in the icy snow.

  Wen Baiyu narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure, who was standing upright from the waist up, but kneeling down below. The posture didn't look like kneeling either, it was very eerie.

  After half a minute, the figure moved slightly, grasping the ground with both hands and crawling forward, as if trying to sneak into their tent.

  The little fox was very close to the figure, only separated by a tent. Qi San Ye wrapped him in his arms, with one hand supporting him, and with incredible arm strength, quickly pulled back.

  A figure stuck to the tent, directly pressing the tent into a recess, and a face appeared.

  Qin Yi

  Everyone seemed to have seen that face and immediately lifted up the tent and rushed out.

  The figure outside the tent was indeed Qin Yi. He wasn't kneeling on the ground, but had been bitten in half by a giant snake, leaving only his upper body behind.

  Qin Yi's face was covered in blood, with a ferocious smile on his face.

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "So soon after death? This is too eerie."

  Qin Yi lay on the ground, facing them with a wide grin, "heh heh" sneering, then quickly crawled forward with his hands clasped together, pouncing towards them.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou let Wen Bai Yu retreat and said: "There's something in his mouth."

  As soon as he said that, everyone saw Qin Yi's mouth curled up in a smile, but inside his mouth was something bloody and glistening, with a string tied around it.

  Xie Yan was immediately startled and said: "It's my pendant"

  Xie Yan no longer retreated and seemed to want to retrieve the pendant.

  However, that thing was contained in Qin Yi's throat, making him choke with blood, stuck in his throat. If he wasn't laughing so hard, it would be impossible to see, and I have no idea how Qin Yi managed to swallow it down.

  Qin Yi flew over quickly, seemingly with great resentment towards Wen Baiyu, and kept pouncing on him. With each pounce, fresh blood gushed out, accompanied by a surge of dark energy that splattered everywhere.

  Wen Baiyu stepped back, covering her nose with her hand. The smell of blood was almost overwhelming. Qin Yi had been bitten in half and yet he still managed to rise from the dead, looking incredibly ferocious.

  Qin Yi let out a loud roar and pounced over, Wan Xi Jing Hou kicked him in the shoulder with one swift motion, sending him tumbling to the ground. Qin Yi crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood that completely stained Xie Yun's pendant a deep crimson, looking especially disgusting.

  Qin Yi smiled slyly, and that pendant was stuck in his throat, as if it had been kicked out, and seemed to have run out a little.

  Xie Yan rushed over at this time, like a leopard, and pounced on Qin Yi, embracing him tightly, not caring about the blood stains, nor discussing the attackability of the male lead in the cultivation novel.

  Qin Yi reached out to grab Xie Yan, but Xie Yan desperately tried to pry open Qin Yi's mouth and grabbed the pendant cord, wanting to pull it out.

  That pendant moved, Qin Yi was about to go crazy, fiercely biting his teeth, and suddenly bit down on Xie Yan's finger, just hearing a "click" sound, Wen Baiyu heard it with a shock, rushed over to help.

  Suddenly, Xie Yan was bitten by Qin Yi's hand and refused to let go. He desperately wanted to retrieve his pendant. At the same time, Wen Baiyu pulled him away, and the pendant was also yanked out of Qin Yi's throat.

  The pendant was suddenly pulled out, and Qin Yi was like a deflated ball, instantly losing air, letting out a loud "Kaka" cry, before collapsing to the ground, then starting to convulse repeatedly. In just a few seconds, he suddenly stopped moving, lying motionless on the ground.

  Xie Yan crouched on the ground staring at the blood-soaked pendant in front of him. He wasn't the only one, everyone was shocked.

  After Qin Yi spat out the pendant, he immediately fell to the ground. Logically speaking, with only half of his body left, it was impossible for him to gather energy and come back to life, especially since he had just died. Moreover, as soon as the pendant was taken out, Qin Yi immediately fell to the ground, clearly indicating that the problem lay with the pendant itself.

  Xie Yan crawled up, and Wen Baiyu said: "Are you okay?"

  Xie Yan shook his hand, and the loud crack just now was his finger, but it wasn't bitten off, only bitten through, a bit painful.

  Xie Yan shook his head and picked up the pendant on the ground. The pendant was made to be too disgusting.

  Qī Sān Yé handed a clean handkerchief to Xiè Yuàn, and Xiè Yuàn wiped the pendant clean. Only then did everyone see the true appearance of Xiè Yuàn's treasured pendant.

  A small wooden plaque, somewhat thick, about three centimeters long, very inconspicuous. The material of this wood is unknown, the color is very ancient, Wen Baiyu doesn't understand it and can't tell what it is.

  And what's carved on top is indeed not good, as Xie Yan said. It's really unclear what was carved, just a few messy strokes that don't even qualify as a pattern.

  Wen Baiyu was somewhat astonished, this was the pendant that Xie Lin gave to Xie Yan, Xie Yan's treasured item, he wouldn't let go even if his fingers were bitten off, it was almost as if he was fighting for his life.

  Xie Yan wiped the pendant clean, let out a sigh of relief, and held it in his hand, rubbing it repeatedly. His eyes were extremely complex.

  Qī Sān Yé looked at the pendant and furrowed his brow, saying: "Can I take a look?"

  Xie Yan nodded and handed the pendant to Qi San Ye, who took it in his hand and examined it under the dim moonlight. "Do you know what kind of wood this is?" he asked.

  Xie Yan shook his head.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Qi San Ye knows"

  Qī Sān Yé smiled and said: "I see this young man desperately trying to grab it, I thought he knew the origin of this treasure, but he easily lent it to me to take a look, which made me extremely surprised."

  "What is it after all"

  Qī Sān Yé held up the pendant, facing the dim moonlight, constantly rotating the pendant, indicating to everyone to take a look, saying: "This pendant is stained with blood, and the blood quickly seeps into the wood, as if drinking blood."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou heard this and couldn't help but furrow his brow.

  "Ah, this is a treasure," continued Qi San Ye, "it looks like it still has many years to go. The wood is drinking blood, it's the precious tree of Xiwangmu's country, the Mu Xu wood."
