Chapter 758

"You mean... Really?" young master Mingxi's whole face was scared green.

Other people's reactions were similar. Even Soto showed a trance look. If he hadn't experienced the accident a hundred years ago, he would almost believe it.

"Please make a decision!" Zhang Yitian did not answer from the front, but increased his tone. He looked very cautious. His expression was very frightening, and successfully fooled the stubborn donkey of Mingxi.

"Mr. Sun, the situation is urgent. Hurry to organize a team, although I go straight to the ice lake together." Mr. Mingxi finally gave the order to move on, and started to march in a hurry.

When the direction was determined, the team set out again. A group of people, like homeless dogs, ran straight towards the ice lake. However, due to the delay of Childe Mingxi, they didn't go far. A sandstorm swept in, a strong wind roared, rolled up the yellow sand and attacked the people.

The huge momentum scared the camel to stop. Like an ostrich, it plunged its head into the yellow sand on the ground. It was indifferent to driving away, looking like waiting to die.

Ah... Ah... Help

At the moment of the sandstorm, the guards were as scared as camels. They stood where they were and didn't know why. When they wanted to escape, they were swept up by the strong wind, dancing and shouting.

At this time, no one cares. Zhang Yitian's first reaction is to use the force to protect his body and want to find a place to hide, but there is no place to hide.

Just when Zhang Yitian was extremely anxious, he stumbled and couldn't stand any longer. The strong wind rolled him up like flying clouds and fog in the middle of the air. The yellow sand narrowed his eyes and his vision was not covered at all.

In the face of the destructive power of nature, even the returning monk can't resist it, not to mention he is a small quenched body five monks!

Zhang Yitian lost control of his body and can only blindly defend passively, but such consumption has caused a great load on his body. However, compared with the storm encountered in the time-space tunnel through that meeting, this sandstorm is much weaker.

I don't know how long later, when Zhang Yitian woke up and looked around, he found that his eyes were very painful and didn't see things.

In a trance, he felt a gust of cold wind passing by, his body trembling and shaking up and down, as if hanging in mid air.

He temporarily lost his visual ability and couldn't understand the surrounding conditions. He pricked his ears to listen, but there was a buzzing tinnitus in his ears and couldn't hear anything.

He reached out and took a handful out of his ear. As a result, he took out a pinch of sand. Zhang Yitian felt a touch of bitterness in his heart, but he didn't dare to move.

After a long delay, a fuzzy outline appeared in front of Zhang Yitian, but he couldn't see anything clearly. It seemed dark around him.

He quickly took out a bottle of water from the storage ring and washed his eyes. The dry and hot feeling was relieved a little.

When he opened his eyes again, the blurred scene finally appeared in Zhang Yitian's pupil and gradually became clear.

"Shit, how could it hang on the tree?" Zhang Yitian couldn't help his stomach when he looked at the ground covered with yellow sand about more than ten meters below.

At the moment, Zhang Yitian was hung on the branch of a Populus euphratica tree more than 20 meters high. It was surrounded by boundless night. A waning moon hung in the sky, and dark clouds floated by. The waning moon loomed and appeared from time to time.

The atmosphere is a little strange and terrible!

After understanding the surrounding conditions, Zhang Yitian felt his physical condition. There were bursts of pain all over his body. There was no big problem as a whole.

Take out the spirit snake sword from the storage ring. Zhang Yitian waved and pulled it upward, cut off the branch hanging himself, and fell down.

Falling on the sand, Zhang Yitian did nothing else. First, he sat cross legged under the tree and rechecked his body inside and outside.

In the previous sandstorm, although he had no internal injury, the injury was inevitable and he was particularly embarrassed.

Take some healing pills from the storage ring, deal with the injury, and then swallow a Guiyuan pill. When the cultivation is restored, the sky lights up.

After eating something and filling his stomach, Zhang Yitian got up and jumped onto the Populus euphratica tree. Looking from a high distance, he didn't find anyone, but he saw clouds and fog in the southeast.

"That should be the ice lake?" Zhang Yitian guessed, and then a touch of bitterness appeared at the corners of his mouth. "I didn't expect to be blown here by the wind."

Although he guessed where he was, Zhang Yitian hesitated and considered whether to go to Binghu for an appointment.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yitian felt that although childe Mingxi was a dandy, his mind was not bad. If he ignored it, he might die in the desert. So the priority should be to find someone.

But with his own strength, looking for someone in such a big desert is like looking for a needle in a haystack. If someone helps, it will be different. The probability of finding someone will increase a lot.

Having made up his mind, Zhang Yitian began to trek towards the ice lake.

As the saying goes, it's the same in the desert. The endless desert has a very wide field of vision. You can often see the scene a few miles away, as if everything is close in front of you. If you try to get close, you'll find that it's not the case.

In order to get to the ice lake for help as soon as possible, Zhang Yitian accelerated his foot journey and used lightness skills. Although it costs more cultivation, everything is worth it in order to save people. After running for about an hour, I didn't know how to climb over several sand dunes. I finally arrived near the ice lake.

After running for so long, Zhang Yitian was tired. He slowed down and looked ahead. A sand dune stood 100 meters away. On the other end of the sand dune, surrounded by water mist, it was obvious that he was not far from the ice lake, and the temperature here suddenly decreased a lot.

After drinking water, he climbed up the sand dune. Just as Zhang Yitian rushed down, there was a quarrel in the distance. Looking around, he was stunned.

There is an oasis in front of us. A sentry post has been set up where there is a clear distinction between the oasis and the desert. It is surrounded by lush forests. Only at the sentry post can there be a road for access.

There are many guards as like as two peas in the vicinity of the post. The armor is exactly the same as the escort of the city owner. No one wants to know that these people are all the people of the city master's house. But what surprised Zhang Yitian is not the guards, but a woman.

Duanmu Xianyue was saying something, but the guards were too lazy to listen to his words. They kept waving at her and even raised weapons to threaten her. However, the woman was very stubborn and never gave up.

"Duanmu Xianyue is still alive, so the probability of surviving the rest of life has been greatly improved, but..." Zhang Yitian is quite confused, because he doesn't know what Duanmu Xianyue is talking to the guards, and he can't figure out what it is for a while and a half.

The sudden situation disrupted Zhang Yitian's plan. He had planned to come here for help, but now he restrained his thoughts by watching Duanmu Xianyue's experience.

According to Zhang Yitian's observation and understanding of Duanmu Xianyue all the way, although this woman is silent, she is a person who values love and righteousness, which can be seen from her attitude towards her fiance's blood childe.

Since Duanmu Xianyue is a loving and righteous person, it is impossible to ignore the life and death of all people. Now she is the only one who appears, which explains two situations. Either she is separated from the others, or the others are injured and difficult to move, so she is sent for help.

If Zhang Yitian's conjecture is true, as soon as Duanmu Xianyue appears and explains the situation to these guards, the guards should respond immediately rather than rush people away.

Things were full of strange things, which made Zhang Yitian very puzzled. He couldn't understand the key, so he had to be patient and continue to observe.

After a while, the situation at the sentry post changed. A man came out of the forest. His armor was different from the guard. According to Zhang Yitian, only the general could dress up like this.

The burly general came out with an unhappy face. He didn't know what he said to Duanmu Xianyue. He just talked a few words. Suddenly, he waved his hand and the nearby guards rushed up and caught Duanmu Xianyue.

Zhang Yitian wanted to go down to rescue, but when he looked carefully, he found that the general's cultivation was to return to Yuan territory. With a group of quenched body guards nearby, any cultivation was much higher than Zhang Yitian, so he restrained his impulse.

Duanmu Xianyue was originally Dan Xiu. His main ability was alchemy. His combat power was difficult to compare with that of the guards. Controlled by others, he could only struggle in vain and could not resist at all. Finally, he was bound and hung on a big tree in front of the checkpoint.

"Shit, it's too violent. It's a woman. It's barbaric to treat the girl's family like this." Zhang Yitian couldn't help but feel sick and thought of a plan at the same time.

At this time, it is still early, and there is still some time before noon. According to the time, saving people at night is the most appropriate, but time waits for no one. If Dan Qiusheng's gang is in danger, one second will be more dangerous.

Last time, he successfully rescued a character freak in the hands of bandits. Zhang Yitian more or less summarized some experience of saving people. At this time, he brewing a plan in his heart, which is divided into three steps. First, find out the situation of these guards and know yourself and the enemy; Second, according to the situation, make preparations for saving people according to local conditions; Third, save people!

The thought flashed in his mind. Zhang Yitian crawled behind the hill, took out a dagger, drew a circle on the sand in front of him, marked twelve points along the edge of the circle, inserted the dagger in the middle of the circle, and in the sunlight, the dagger cast a shadow and pointed to one of the points.

This method is actually evolved from the ancient timing instrument "sundial".

The so-called sundial is a tool for timing by using the projection of the sun. The one he made on site is only a simple product. A regular sundial needs a large disk like a compass, which is engraved with the pattern of heavenly stems and earthly branches, so that it can calculate the time.

Zhang Yitian's purpose is to estimate the work and rest rules and time of these guards. At present, this handy sundial is enough.

Watch the situation at the checkpoint and watch the guards' every move. Kung Fu pays off. After a long stay, he found out some rules of the guards. In addition to the Ming post, there are patrol soldiers. According to the movement of the dagger projection on the sundial, these patrol soldiers appear every ten minutes with strict rules.

This also fully shows that the defense in the ice lake is extremely tight. It can be seen that this place is by no means unusual and must hide some unknown secrets.

After mastering the activity rules of the guards, Zhang Yitian looked up at the sky. The sun had risen to half the sky and it was time to eat. He didn't believe that these guards didn't eat. Once these people changed shifts, it was also the best time to save people, but he still had to prepare before taking action, otherwise he might be on the verge of success.
