The night was gradually falling, and the sound of howling wolves began to be heard from far away in the desert, and some bright spots appeared in many places in the distance. Chen Xuan knew that they were the dead people and monsters, the bones of the dead at night. Bright light, there are still a lot of phosphorous fire wandering in the desert.
"stop!"
Suddenly the leader said a word loudly, and then the entire convoy stopped.
"We will spend the night here tonight. This is a valley, and there are broken beams around it, which can protect us from the sandstorm at night!" The old man who started talking to Chen Xuan said to everyone again.
Immediately, everyone came down from the beast, and arranged for the animals. Some family members began to prepare fires, and the men set up a large number of simple tents, supporting a lot of simple tents around them. A bed for rest.
Chen Xuan also walked down from the monster. Looking at the surrounding environment, this is a place surrounded by wind on three sides, and only one place can be blown in by the wind. The most important thing is that there are still several dilapidated walls here. , Already mottled by wind and sand erosion.
"You guys go over there to patrol and see if there is any danger. You guys go over there with me and have a look!" The leader of these guards began to direct the followers.
Soon two teams were formed and patrolled in two directions. It seemed that these people were also experienced in the desert, and they were much more sensitive to danger than Chen Xuan.
Looking at the busy crowd, Chen Xuan didn't know what he was supposed to do, so he stood there and watched the crowd shuttling back and forth.
"Is this the first time you have come to the desert? I think you seem to find it very novel!" At this time, a pleasant voice sounded from behind Chen Xuan.
Turning his face sideways, Chen Xuan saw a girl with dark skin but a sunny smile on her face walking towards him.
"To tell you the truth, this is indeed my first time in the desert!" Chen Xuan said with a wry smile.
"But you are lucky to have met us, otherwise it would be really easy for you to get lost in this vast desert by yourself, and even lose yourself in it, unless those powerful people can freely travel through the desert!" the girl said with a smile.
"Thank you for your teaching, I will pay more attention to it in the future!" Chen Xuan said politely.
"Today, you can be wronged with them all night. The weather in the desert is changeable. Depending on the weather, there will be a big sandstorm tonight. We can only get through it together!" The girl pointed to the tent road.
Chen Xuan nodded, "Don't worry, if it doesn't work at night, I'll just stay outside for one night!" Chen Xuan knew that the girl had good intentions, but Chen Xuan still felt awkward to let Chen Xuan squeeze into a tent with them.
"I know this will wrong you and bring you together with them, but we only have three tents here, one is for women, one is for men, and the other is for monsters to rest. Maybe you don't know yet The power of the desert storm!" the girl said in a mournful tone.
Chen Xuan didn't say anything. In fact, Chen Xuan can resist these so-called wind and sand as long as he props up the Yuanli Shield, but this is because Chen Xuan doesn't want to reveal his own strength. Can you still talk to yourself so calmly after gaining the strength
After a cup of tea, all the people who went out to patrol came back, and when the leader saw Chen Xuan standing with the girl, his face immediately turned pale.
"I don't feel safe tonight, Yan'er, I'd better send you back!" The leader walked towards Chen Xuan immediately after he came back.
"No need, Commander Hu, I can go back by myself. I have troubled you today, and you are tired, so go to rest early!" the girl said politely.
After the girl left, some of these guards with weapons remained in place, and Commander Hu took a look at everyone.
"Tonight we will be on duty in shifts. We are divided into three groups. There are no groups of three. Now there are nine people here. You are in a group, and you are in a group with me!" Commander Hu glanced at Chen Xuan and said to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan nodded, he had no objection, after all, he was also a part of this place, so he tried his best.
Soon these female relatives prepared delicious and mellow delicacies, and these people began to gather together to eat and drink with each other.
When the sky was completely invisible, these people began to prepare to rest. The sky was so dark that they could not see their fingers. If there were not a few bonfires, they would not even be able to see themselves there. Only a few shining stars in the sky. It is flickering, but in this vast desert, the light of this star can't play any role at all.
In the first half of the night, it wasn't Chen Xuan who was on duty, and then he entered the tent and began to meditate with his eyes closed. The time passed by every minute and every second, Chen Xuan hadn't entered into deep cultivation, but was recovering his strength.
Suddenly, the tent above his head whimpered, as if blown by a gust of wind, and then fell silent.
Opening his eyes, Chen Xuan glanced around, but what he saw were still people lying down and sleeping. It seemed that these people were already used to life in the desert.
But after a while, the noise from the tent above the head became louder and louder, as if there was a gust of wind blowing this way.
An hour later, from the very small breeze at the beginning to the final sound of the tent blowing, some people sleeping inside opened their eyes, rubbed their sleepy eyes, looked at the sky outside, and then fell back to sleep again .
But Chen Xuan stopped recovering, because Chen Xuan felt a threat, but he couldn't tell where the threat came from. This was a warrior's induction, and it was a natural instinct when he was in danger.
Immediately stood up from the ground, Chen Xuan walked out from the tent, glanced at the sky, and then frowned, not a single star in the sky disappeared, this is a bad sign.
Looking at the pitch-black desert, there were no creatures at all, only the gust of wind was blowing this way. At the beginning, the wind speed was not very strong, but now these hurricanes began to blow the sand above the ground, and Chen Xuan could feel it. across his face.
"This is a sandstorm. This happens almost every day in the desert. Don't you feel a little uncomfortable!" A vicissitudes of life sounded behind Chen Xuan.
"Old man, you didn't rest either!" Chen Xuan saw that it was Yan'er's father.
"I can't sleep either, I always feel like something is about to happen, so I dare not sleep, come out and have a look!" The old man took a puff of tobacco and said to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan's frown deepened. This old man has experienced countless hardships, and he can say such words at this time, which proves that Chen Xuan's worry is still right. This is an uneven night.
"I hope there is nothing wrong. It will be dawn in three hours, and then we will be able to leave here!" the old man said to himself.
Then he turned around and went back into the tent again. Only Chen Xuan stood alone, and there was still an hour for Chen Xuan to watch the night, so he had to go back into the tent again, listening to the roar of the hurricane.
Closing his eyes again, he threw out this sense of crisis. It may be that he has encountered too many things recently and felt too much pressure. This hallucination occurred, Chen Xuan comforted himself.
But a shrill wolf howled pierced the entire night sky, and the sound echoed in the desert for a long time.
Immediately, everyone woke up from their slumber, and even the monster tent not far away let out low howls, as if these monsters were suddenly frightened, and riots began to appear.
For these people, they couldn't fly, and they couldn't get out of the desert without monsters to carry them. But at this time, these monsters obviously wanted to break free and escape by themselves.
"Woo!"
The howling of wolves began to spread throughout the desert, and everyone heard the howling of wolves clearly this time.
The men all took out their weapons and rushed out of the tent. Chen Xuan also came out with the crowd. Even though Chen Xuan had experienced countless fights, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.
Countless pairs of green eyes slowly approached this side. I didn't know how many desert wolves there were. I only saw green eyes all around. The sound of these wolves came from a distance.
"No, it's the desert red wolf, we are surrounded!" A guard shouted loudly, and the sound reached everyone's ears.
