Chapter 269 Ximo
On the morning of the third day, the sky was filled with yellow sand.

The Desert of No Return has finally arrived.

Ren Ning reined in his horse and stopped.

Under Goldfinger, about ten miles to the left, there is a large half-yellow and half-green cactus growing densely.

There are five yellow spots in the center of the spiky plant.

Yellow represents no benefit and no harm, which is not surprising.

But Ren Ning can see clearly from the condescending position, there are clearly several people nestled there.

Occasionally there was a flash of cold light, which was the light reflected from the weapon.

A group of rookies who don't even know how to cover up the reflection of their weapons.

Ren Ning shook his head, then turned his horse's head and headed there.

It was not far from ten li, and it took almost no effort to chase the wind. One man and one horse stood outside the range of ordinary bows and arrows.

In the pile of cacti, Ximo and the others were in ragged clothes, all of them had dry mouths, and their stomachs were rumbling.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes outside, they all stopped digging holes to collect water.

Xi Mo even signaled to her younger sister to hide in the depths of the cactus, while she grabbed her weapon tightly.

"Are you a brother from the Luoxi tribe?" At this moment, strange Xiliang dialects sounded outside.

"Come out." Ren Ning jumped off the horse, "I'm from Kai Lun."

Karen?
Xi Mo and the others were overjoyed, and looked out through the gap in doubt.

The visitor has black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, and speaks Xiliang dialect.

There is no doubt that this is Yunchui people!

They breathed a sigh of relief in unison, and stood up from the cactus pile.
Since the start of the war, the trade routes on the east and west lines have long been broken.

Ninety-eight out of ten of the Yunchui people who can appear here are related to Kai Lun.

As we all know, Kai Lun has always had the habit of intermarrying Yun Chui.Many Kailun people, including the Tie Le brothers and sisters, look like Yunchui people.

"My name is Ximo. My brother is very unfamiliar. I don't know how to call him?"

"Let's talk about eating!" Ren Ning threw them some food and water.

Several people quickly thanked them, including the girl, desperately stuffing the jerky into their mouths.

After eating the food, although they were half hungry, the spirits of the few people improved a lot.

Changed to a shaded place.

Ren Ning introduced himself before asking, "Since you escaped, why didn't you go to Kailun for help?"

Xi Mo smiled wryly: "Brother Ning, it's not that we don't want to go, but that we can't."

They moved thousands of miles to the vicinity of this desert of no return, and all the defense posts were staring at the south.

Unexpectedly, the troops of the Principality of Langston suddenly appeared in the north in the middle of the night, and rushed into their tribal garrison in an instant.

Many Luoxi people lost their lives in a daze while they were still asleep, and even Xi Mo and his party managed to escape with all their might.

"The Beixiong dog has been chasing us from behind. Luoxi is ruined. If we really want to die here, then we must resign ourselves to fate. We must not lead the disaster to Kailun."

Ren Ning understood, stretched out his hand and patted Xi Mo's shoulder feelingly.

He climbed up a small tree next to him and raised his binoculars to look around.

There are scattered red dots around, but no trace of people can be seen, probably poisonous things like sand scorpions and centipedes.

Jumping off the tree, he said: "You are very safe now, there are no Beixiong people around."

"Really?" Several people cheered up.

Xi Mo looked at the telescope in Ren Ning's hand suspiciously, but couldn't recognize what it was for a long time.

He didn't think much about it, "A few days ago, there were many Beixiong people chasing and killing us. It's just that they all disappeared all of a sudden."

"Fortunately, they didn't chase after him, otherwise we probably wouldn't be able to make it to the present."

Ren Ning smiled slightly: "We killed more than fifty of them that night."

Then the collective disappeared without a trace.

The Langston people couldn't find any clues. They couldn't help but feel the crisis and fear, and quickly recruited all their subordinates back.

It can be regarded as indirectly saving Ximo and his party.

"So that's how it is." The five people suddenly realized, and when they looked at Ren Ning again, they got closer.

Ren Ning ignored these, he pointed to the southeast: "If you have enough rest, you can go to Kailun first."

"The Beixiong people do a lot of evil and kill innocent people indiscriminately. We are preparing to find a way to kill them. You just have more strength when you go."

While talking, Ren Ning glanced at the only girl among the five.

It is said that this is his brother-in-law's sweetheart?
"That's great." The few people hoped for revenge, and they were surprised and happy at the same time.All eyes lit up.

Xi Mo even slapped her thigh: "Little sister, the four of you go ahead."

"There are still some escaped clansmen hiding around, I will go find them, and then I will arrive."

Ren Ning didn't interfere, he asked, "Do you know where the oasis called Mingzhu is?"

Xi Mo was taken aback, "Why, are you planning to go to this oasis too?"

The few of them walked north around the bend, and finally met Ren Ning here.

One is to prevent the chasing Beixiong people from encountering Kailun's cattle and sheep, and thus causing disaster.

Secondly, they also want to go to this oasis called Mingzhu.

There is plenty of water and there are many wild animals.Even if they can no longer live by grazing in the future, they can still get enough food for the time being.

Ren Ning had a strange expression on his face, "You guys have a good idea. But we scratched our tongues. According to him, the main force of the Duke of Langston gathered there."

If they could reach the oasis alive, they would have crashed into the enemy's stronghold.

Ok?
Several people looked at each other, feeling a little grateful and afraid.

Xi Mo moved her mouth.

He wanted to ask Ren Ning the purpose of going to Mingzhu, but he couldn't speak.

The two checked the map again, and after confirming that the direction and general location of Youmeng's painting was correct, Ren Ning continued to drive north.

Two days later, he crossed the desert and appeared on the outskirts of this pearl oasis.

The oasis is bigger than expected.

Rough observation shows that the lake in the middle alone has an area of ​​more than 6000 mu.

The lake is surrounded by a green belt about ten miles wide, and trees of various sizes grow lush and airtight.

Countless birds and beasts twitter and haunt it, creating a vibrant scene.

If he hadn't seen a group of huge sand wolves passing by like the wind, Ren Ning would have thought that he had returned to Guangxin County in the south with beautiful mountains and rivers.

Hey!

He shook his head appreciatively.

Fortunately, Xi Mo and the others didn't come over, otherwise, with their ability, it would be a question of whether they could survive the attack of these wolves.

The oasis is so big, Ren Ning is not worried at all that he will be discovered.

One man and one horse quietly entered the dense forest from the east and reached the lake.

rustle.

The long ponytail flicked over and touched Ren Ning's arm.

Chasing the wind knows what the master is doing.Therefore, even though the lake water was right in front of him and his mouth was parched from thirst, as long as Ren Ning didn't make a sound, it would obediently hide.

After the inspection, everything around and in the water is safe.

Ren Ning patted his beloved horse in satisfaction: "Hey, go drink some water."

Only then did Zhuifeng's eyes shine and he ran to the lake to drink water.

After eating and drinking enough for one person and one horse, Ren Ning bathed the horse with a water bag before letting Zhuifeng hide, while he walked northward along the lake.

He has good ears and eyes, and he has heard the faint noise of human beings in the north.
