Chapter 534

Early in the morning, Guo Shier was woken up by the noise outside. He listened to it in a daze. It seemed to be Qi Nanshan lecturing them about talisman beasts. He climbed up and ran outside. He saw Qi Nanshan standing on horseback, talking to a group of talisman warriors and talisman warriors. He found Nanshan and asked, "What is Grandpa Nanshan doing?"

Nanshan replied, "Nothing much. Grandpa Nanshan is reminding everyone that we are about to enter the area where talisman beasts are active. He wants everyone to be careful."

Qi Nanshan said, "He has told us all the things to take note of. In addition, the areas where talisman beasts are active are often the areas where ancient talisman people are active. Everyone must pay attention to the ground. If you find any remains, do not let them go. Search carefully for anything useful."

Luo Jie interrupted, "If you find an abandoned building, you must report it. There are often treasures inside. Remember, do not provoke a large group of talisman beasts. With our abilities, dealing with two or three talisman beasts is not a problem. If there are more, we might make a mistake. If we make a mistake, then … there is a high chance that someone among us will die in the secret territory!"

Qi Nanshan said, "Also, if you meet people from the Talisman Shepherding Sect, kill them if you can. When you meet them … don't talk nonsense. Kill those bastards immediately!"

"Pack up and get ready to set off. We don't know what we will encounter today. Everyone must be careful."

Guo Shier noticed that Qi Nanshan kept reminding everyone to be careful. He knew that the road ahead would not be easy.

Everyone mounted their horses and left the camp under Qi Nanshan's command.

They headed east.

For seven consecutive days, they did not see any ordinary wild beasts, let alone talisman beasts. At the beginning, there were still some herbivores. Later on, there was no trace of any herbivores. This made everyone very confused. Where did the talisman bear they saw at the beginning come from?

The weeds on the ground gradually thinned, revealing large patches of brown soil. The air was extremely dry. Even the wind that blew on their bodies was hot. Guo Shier kept wiping his sweat. He looked at his master enviously. The old man's body was surrounded by talisman lights, counteracting the heat. Thus, there was not a drop of sweat on his face.

On this scorching land, the only people who were not affected were Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan. Even the Talisman Martial Masters were not affected. They were also sweating profusely.

The rumbling hooves broke the silence of the land. Very quickly, the land became barren, with no plants or animals in sight. This land was very strange. There was not a trace of life.

Guo Shier couldn't stand the silence. He rode his horse and caught up to Luo Jie, saying, "Master, it's weird here … I feel uneasy."

Luo Jie said, "Don't worry, this is a special feature of the secret realm, the so-called shifting scenery. Although it was not that exaggerated, it was indeed so. A few days ago, it was still a world of ice and snow, but now, it could be a scorching summer. A few days ago, it could be a world of ice and snow. Now, it could be a land of death. This is not normal. "

Guo Shier muttered in his heart. The Gobi Desert would not be devoid of life. There were almost no signs of life here. It was like a land of death. This was definitely not normal.

The group of horses rode through the Gobi Desert, kicking up a large cloud of dust. Everyone hoped to leave this godforsaken place as soon as possible. Guo Shier couldn't help but think of a phrase from his previous life. This godforsaken place is the Gobi Desert.

Luo Zhan, who was scouting ahead, came back with two talisman warriors. When he was still a hundred meters away from the group of horses, he yelled, "Run that way! Don't stop … go that way … "His voice was very loud, covering the rumbling of the hooves. Qi Nanshan suddenly stood up. Standing on the back of the galloping horse, he gazed into the distance. A few seconds later, he landed back on the horse and yelled, "To the left … follow me!"

A soft rumbling sound came. Guo Shier turned his head and saw a yellowish-brown object moving towards them from the horizon. He said in surprise, "What is that? A sandstorm? "

Qi Nanshan took the lead and led the group to turn.

Guo Shier once again sighed at the strength of the warhorses. They had been galloping for three or four hours. Although they were not sprinting at full speed, they still had energy left after such a long run. He asked, "Master, what is that thing?"

Luo Jie's expression was a bit ugly. He said, "I don't know. It's not something good. We have to avoid it as much as possible."

The rumbling grew louder. Guo Shier kept turning his head to look. A child's eyesight was excellent. He could faintly see many small black spots. Gradually, he could see clearly that it was countless wild beasts running. Behind them was a violent sandstorm that connected the sky and the earth. He yelled, "Look, it's wild beasts … and people!"

Luo Jie turned his head and swept a glance. He yelled, "Don't worry about that. Quick! Run … "

Guo Shier suddenly understood. Even the wild beasts were running as if it was the end of the world. One could only imagine how terrifying the sandstorm behind them was. He slapped hard and flattered. This time, he was really flattering.

The group's speed increased again. Luo Jie was no longer confident. He kept yelling, "If the horses are exhausted, change horses immediately. Don't be stingy!" Everyone had four to five horses. The group kept changing horses. If they found that the horses were not enough, they would immediately change horses and continue running.

Fortunately, the horses were strong. As long as they had one less person's weight, even if they were still running, they could gradually recover. Only seven or eight horses fell out of exhaustion. No one cared about the horses that fell out. They only cared about galloping.

They had fewer people and more horses. The sandstorm behind them was advancing at a moderate speed. After running for about two hours, they could no longer see the sandstorm behind them. The surroundings were even more desolate.

Qi Nanshan yelled, "Stop! Rest! Feed the horses water and food. Remember … give them the best feed. Add some salt! Everyone hurry up and eat some food and water. "

Luo Jie yelled, "Hurry up. When the horses have recovered, we will leave immediately!"

Guo Shi 'er jumped off his horse and took out a long copper basin from his talisman storage bag. He poured some water into the basin and fed it to his horses. After running for a long time, coupled with the unbearable heat, the horses were thirsty.

Huo Bao and the others were eating the braised meat. Only Chen Hong was feeding the horses. Guo Shier yelled, "Leopard! Shi Tou! Chen Bing … put down the meat. Feed the horses first! If you are hungry, you can eat on the horse! The horses are the most important now. If the horses are not strong enough, who will save you? "

Huo Bao and the others blushed. They quickly kept the braised meat and fed the horses. Almost everyone felt the same way. Right now, the warhorses were their life-saving horses.

Guo Shier dipped a brush in water and brushed the horses to cool them down. Although he was young, he also had to take care of the horses.

After twenty minutes or so, the rumbling sounds could be faintly heard again. Qi Nanshan yelled, "Hurry up! Eat something, we are leaving! "

This time, they were lucky to have the horses of the House of Talisman Shepherds. Their horses were obviously stronger than the North Fu Men's horses. The horses that could not hold on were the North Fu Men's horses. The horses of the House of Talisman Shepherds still had strength to spare.

After about half an hour, they could clearly see the sand. The wild beasts running in front of the sand could also clearly see the tremors on the ground. Guo Shier observed carefully. He said, "That thing doesn't look like a sandstorm … It looks like it is being controlled by something."

Qi Nanshan yelled, "Get on the horses … Let's go!"

Guo Shier nimbly climbed onto the horse's back. He said to Huo Bao and the others, "Our bodies are light. The horses are also light. As long as we keep up with the horses, we will not be in danger. Everyone, change horses frequently. We can maintain our horses for a long time. Do not fall behind!"

The horses set off again.

Even though the horses had not fully recovered, after a short rest, they had regained their spirits. From a slow jog to a wild gallop, the horses' speed increased.

After another four hours of wild galloping, they once again left the sand far behind. From the morning until now, they had been running for nearly eight hours. In between, they had only rested for less than thirty minutes. Not only were the horses tired, even the riders were exhausted.

Luo Jie yelled, "Da Shan, let's rest for a while. The horses are tired!"

Along the way, more than ten horses had died of exhaustion. They had fallen head first to the ground during their wild gallop. There was no way to save them, nor was there time to stop and treat them.

"It's already afternoon. In a few hours, the sky will be dark …"

Qi Nanshan's tone was a little heavy. After all, warhorses were livestock, not machines. Continuous running would gradually exhaust their physical strength, and it was not something that could be recovered in just a few minutes.

Luo Jie decisively said, "Dismount and rest!"

This time, they rested for a little longer, forty minutes. But seeing the approaching sand curtain, they could only mount their horses and run again. Everyone was very depressed. Until now, they still didn't know what that sand curtain was. When they mounted their horses, they discovered that the wild beasts running in front of the sand curtain had mostly disappeared, becoming sparse. There were also a few small teams of horses, but they were too far away to see clearly.

After another four hours of wild galloping, nearly half of the horses had died of exhaustion. Guo Shier's five horses were undamaged. He distributed three horses because some Talisman Martial Masters only had one horse left. If they continued to run, their horses would die of exhaustion and they would have no more horses to ride.

There were less than sixty horses left. All the supplies on the horses' backs were thrown away. Fortunately, they had Talisman Pouches to carry supplies. It was not a big deal to throw away the spare supplies on the horses' backs. But the remaining horses were all exhausted.

Luo Jie gazed into the distance and said, "If we can find a ruin, we can temporarily hide."

The sky was dusk. The horses were drenched in sweat. Their heavy breathing was heart-wrenching.

Although they had once again thrown off the sand curtain, everyone knew that if they rested for a while, the sand curtain would appear again like a demon.

Suddenly, Luo Jie smiled and said, "We seem to be saved!"
