Danger had quietly descended upon them. Everyone had subconsciously confirmed that the vicious man had two options. It was either one or the other! But they did not expect that he actually had a third option.
What if the vicious man was hiding under the sand outside the sandbags?
They had guessed correctly. In the vast desert, since he could not fly, then burrowing was a must! The problem was that even if Lou Xiaoyi wanted to have a showdown with them, he did not necessarily have to hide among the sandbags.
Wouldn't it be better to find a shallow spot a few feet away from the sandbags and bury himself?
Seeing the five companions forcefully patrolling the sandbags on the other side, looking for traces, without the previous strict mutual protection, the linen visitor and Brother Wu subconsciously felt that something was amiss. Then, they reacted at the same time!
"Danger!" This was the linen visitor's warning!
"Come back!" This was Brother Wu's reminder!
But the two of them had made the same fatal mistake as the cultivator who had made a mistake on the sand dune previously! That was, when you shout danger, you have to have a subject!
The five cultivators subconsciously thought that the danger came from within the sandbags! Just as they raised their heads to look, the sand behind one of the cultivators silently slid away, and a long sword was raised upwards …
Following that, a figure sprang up from the ground, running in the direction of a cultivator's body, blocking the arrow that the linen visitor was about to release!
"Bei Ju, get down!"
This time, the sack-clothed man finally remembered the main sentence he wanted to say. He meant to tell his subordinates not to stand in the way, but for a cultivator who was only a few feet away from the murderer, there was no idea more stupid than telling him to lie down!
Bei Ju was very obedient, because he knew how terrifying Brother Ma's engraved bow was! But before the arrow could fly past his prone body, several flying daggers had already pierced through his body!
Lou Xiaoyi ran like a snake, increasing his speed to the maximum. He did not even hesitate to use the fourth gear of the Tornado Escape Technique to achieve the goal of quickly widening the distance between them!
Lying in the sand, he could see very clearly with his eyes open. When he saw the flashy cultivator standing in the middle with a big bow, he knew that this thing was very powerful. Hence, he was really running this time, running with all his might. Running like a snake, he instantly increased his speed!
A scorching ray brushed past him at a speed that he could not react to. That was not an arrow! Instead, it was a mass of spiritual energy, a power that a qi eating cultivator could not contend against!
Lou Xiaoyi felt that this power was a huge threat to him. He simply ended the game and ran further and further away until he disappeared!
He had lost interest in continuing the chase, and so had the pursuers!
There was nothing more infuriating than an enemy like this! Ten cultivators had already lost their lives in the hands of this demon. What was frightening was not his strength, but his mind!
Cruel, patient, cunning, despicable, and unscrupulous!
He only had two moves, the sword, the chop, and the stab, but there were countless ways to use them. They were never repeated. They were perfectly integrated with nature, the environment, the human heart, judgment, and insight!
This was a fatal blow!
The leader, Brother Wu, walked over and sighed. "Brother Ma Yi, our patrol time is almost up. Our brothers came out to accumulate resources, so I can't stop them from going back. If you don't keep an eye on those Red Thread Worms, who can tell if there are more or less of them?
Cultivation is for longevity, not fighting for one's life. I will return now. What about you guys? "
Ma Yi looked at his companions with a desolate expression. Although he did not say anything, he could see the answer from their eyes!
His glory was gone. If he wanted to get it back, there was only one way!
"Bring my three brothers back! Promise me that you will take good care of them! "
Big Brother Wu couldn't help but be moved. Although Linen Robe was unruly and had a violent temper, at certain times, he had an awe-inspiring and inviolable bearing. If such a person were to walk out, he would definitely be an overlord!
The three subordinates spoke in unison and wanted to continue following him, but they were rudely interrupted by Ma Yi.
"Everyone has their own pursuits! There is no need to change yourself for others! You may feel loyalty now, but when the time passes, you will regret it. Why bother?
What you are pursuing now is resources. Then go and gather resources!
What I am pursuing now is spirit. Resources are secondary!
This is irreplaceable! In the field of spirit, no one can help each other!
When I come back, we will still be good brothers! "
Lou Xiaoyi took a big detour and returned to Pu City. No matter how magnanimous his heart was, he should not continue to stay in the Gobi Desert for the time being. This was not the time to be a hero. He had killed ten people and still acted like he was invincible. That would be foolish behavior!
Even if he knew very well that if the other party continued to form an organization, the possibility of them causing trouble on a large scale was very small!
When an individual gained an advantage in a confrontation with an organization, even if it was a loose alliance, one should not be overly indulged in one's own achievements. An alliance could fail, and if they failed, they could start over again. However, an individual would not have the chance to start over again.
Therefore, he had to retreat and give the other party a way out. He had to give them a reason to be too lazy to pursue the matter. He should not continue to hang on the cliff top and pretend to be a big shot!
Even if he made such a judgment, he could not rule out the possibility that an individual would make an irrational choice out of humiliation.
The north gate of Pu City was the most leisurely of the four city gates of Pu City. This was because it faced the Gobi Desert. Most of the people who entered and exited it were the indigenous people of the Sand Nation. There were relatively few commercial activities there. After all, there were very few caravans who had the ability to pass through the Gobi Desert. If they had the energy, they would rather spend more time taking a detour than suffer in the Gobi Desert for more than ten days.
Leisurely meant that there were fewer customers passing by, and it also meant that there was less profit to be made. To the soldiers guarding the city gates, this was the most unpopular job among the four city gates of Pu City. It was impossible for them to take turns. There were always close and distant relationships, and there were also distant relationships. The gate officers who were sent here were the ones who had the worst relationships with others.
Lao Bai was such a person. He had been in the army for dozens of years, and did not have any other skills in life. He had many bad habits, but he did not earn much. He was all alone, without a wife or children. He had been hanging around in the ranks of the city's soldiers.
He had a bad temper. He took advantage of his age and seniority to say strange things. Who would be willing to listen to him? Therefore, he stayed at the north gate. It was his own doing, so he could not blame anyone.
Yesterday, a friend of his who worked in the yamen invited him for a drink and introduced him to a business. A child from a wealthy family was spoiled and spoiled by his mother's family. After the child's father returned from a distant business trip, he felt that the child was too good-for-nothing and needed to be beaten up. Therefore, he wanted to change the child's environment to make him suffer more!
