C57

Yun Ruo Lu knew that the bandits' humanity had been completely destroyed, so she mercilessly swung her blade down, causing that person's head to roll in a pool of blood.

When Big Beard saw his subordinates killed, he immediately became furious. Every time he came here, he would return with a great harvest. How could he allow a little brat to ruin his prestige today?

"Stinking brat, how dare you! "Kill him!"

In a moment, over twenty people rushed into the village and started slaughtering everyone around them. It was a chaotic and bloody scene.

Yun Ruo Man was also merciless. Basically, he had taken out one of them in one cut. After a few rounds, four to five people had already fallen to the ground.

Nevertheless, some villagers were injured.

Seeing that the villagers were injured, Yun Ruo Lu could only rush towards the bearded leader in a panic. As long as she could catch him, she could control these heartless bandits.

Yun Ruo Lu dashed to the front of the horse with a beard and hacked at it with her blade. However, the bearded man's reaction was also extremely fast. He rolled on the horse and dodged the attack.

At the same time, the bearded man drew his blade and swung it towards Yun Ruo Lu. Yun Ruo Lu raised her blade above her head to block this attack, but who knew that the bandit leader's strength was so astonishing, and directly cut the blade in her hands into two.

Yun Ruo rolled on the ground to avoid it, she kicked the horse's leg, causing the bearded man to fall from the horse's back.

The battle between the two was almost a draw. Yun Ruo Lu did not expect this bearded man to be so powerful.

The bearded gangster didn't expect to meet his opponent today, so he attacked even more viciously, each of his moves aimed at a fatal point.

Although Yun Ruo Lu's martial arts were not bad, the wounds on her body were not completely healed. Furthermore, she was a girl, so her strength could not compare to this strong beard. Thus, after fighting for a while, she seemed to be lacking strength.

Seeing that more and more villagers in the village were injured, Yun Ruo felt powerless and was unable to take care of herself.

But at this moment, with a 'whoosh' sound, an arrow shot out from the Village Chief's house, directly piercing through a man's throat.

Yun Ruo Lu looked towards the direction where the arrow was shot. A white figure was standing at the entrance, it was rather difficult to hold the bow, and it took a lot of effort for her to prepare to pull another arrow.

Another arrow rang out, and another person fell to the ground before the sound could fade away.

The remaining bandits also noticed Yuchi Xuan at the entrance. They no longer attacked the villagers, and instead, wielded their sabers and ran towards Yuchi Xuan.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Yun Ruo was even more worried. She thought to herself, Yuchi Xuan has been injured so badly. How could he deal with so many people?

Feeling anxious, he used all the strength in his body to beat the bandit leader into retreat.

As for Yuchi Xuan, his situation wasn't very good. He was just dodging, and didn't have any strength to fight back.

"Who the hell are you?"

The bandit leader knew that he couldn't defeat Yun Ruo Lu, so he could only ask for her name in a hurry. Even if he died, he had to at least understand what was going on.

"If you don't want to die, then scram out of the village. From now on, you are not allowed to step even half a step into this village!"

Yun Ruo Lu's every move was overbearing, making the bandit perspired profusely as he retreated.

"You killed my brother, did you think that I would let it go just like that!?"

The bandit leader had no intention to give in. Yun Ruo Lu never thought that he would actually be so unafraid of death, she could only do her best.

With a wave of Yun Ruo Lu's large blade, she took advantage of the bandit leader's lack of strength to sever his hand force. The bandit leader wailed in pain, and that scream attracted the attention of the other bandits.

Seeing their boss rolling on the ground after being beaten up, the other bandits didn't dare to take any action. They stood where they were, unsure of what to do.

Yun Ruo took this chance to grab the bandit's head with her blade, and ordered the bandits: "Everyone put your blade down! Otherwise, I will kill him! "

When these words were spoken, all the bandits immediately threw their sabers on the ground, and the villagers also took this opportunity to capture all the bandits.

Yun Ruo Lu handed over the bandit's head to the village chief to deal with. She ran over to Yuchi Xuan's side, but before she could say anything, Yuchi Xuan said in a sympathetic tone, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. You're so heavily injured, how can you come out? "And pulling the arrow."

Seeing Yuchi Xuan's ruptured wound, Yun Ruo Lu couldn't help but frown.

Yun Ruo helped Yuchi Xuan back to his room to rest, leaving the rest of the matters to the people in the village to handle.

After Yuchi Xuan woke up, he couldn't calm down. He worriedly asked Yun Ruo Lu, "How many days have I been unconscious?" "What is this place?"

"This is a small village at the border of the desert. You have been in a coma for five days. When you recover, we'll go back. "

Yun Ruo Lu knew what Yuchi Xuan was worried about, but he had just woken up. If he were to rush over, his injuries would only continue to worsen.

Yuchi Xuan knew what his situation was, but his status was different. He couldn't just stay here and rest peacefully like a normal person.

"We will set off tomorrow. Our morale is unshakable. I'm afraid …" Cough cough … What will happen? "

Halfway through his words, he covered his wound and began to cough.

Yun Ruo Lu poured a cup of water for him, and said with a little difficulty, "The way back isn't something that can be reached in a short period of time. With your current situation, what use is there if you go back?"

Given Yuchi Xuan's current physical condition, he had only half a life left. If he were to return to the military camp, he would most likely die.

Yuchi Xuan hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't want to let go. Yun Ruo thought about it and continued to advise, "We'll rest here for another two days. We'll return in two days."

"Two days …" "Alright!"

Yuchi Xuan estimated that two days had passed, but in the end, he nodded in agreement.

After letting Yuchi Xuan rest in peace, Yun Ruo Lu went out to check on the bandits outside. The villagers all said that they had to kill them, or else they would come back sooner or later to cause trouble.

Yun Ruo Lu initially thought the same, but two days later, she and Yuchi Xuan would return to the base safely and would need the help of this group of bandits.

Firstly, this group of bandits often walked around in the desert, so they clearly knew the terrain around them. Secondly, both she and Yuchi Xuan were injured, and any problems they encountered wouldn't be resolved by themselves. They could be used as a shield.

After coordinating with the village chief for a while, Yun Ruo Lu finally got the villagers to agree not to kill the bandits and let them take them away.

During these two days, Yuchi Xuan was still in bed recuperating from his injuries. Because he had been pulling arrows while dealing with bandits, his wounds had been cut open, so he couldn't get out of bed and walk around often.

On the other hand, Yun Ruo You was watching over the remaining bandits and finding out the way back from them. Furthermore, they didn't need to travel through the desert.

Yuchi Xuan's body was no longer able to withstand the sun's scorching heat and the lack of water, so it would naturally be best if he could take another route back.

However, she could not guarantee that what these bandits told them were the truth. If they took revenge, it would be troublesome to take them to the bandit's lair.

It was a pity that no one in the village had ever gone where they wanted to go. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to take the risk to believe the words of those bandits.

While recuperating, Yuchi Xuan didn't seem to be in a good mood. He seemed to have something on his mind. Perhaps it was because Xue'er's death was still lingering in their hearts, but they had already been out for so many days. Whether they could still find the underground tomb was another question.

On the third day, Yun Ruo and Yuchi Xuan bid each other farewell in the little village.

The bandits said it was dangerous in the desert and there was quicksand everywhere. If he didn't go through the desert, he would have to go around it. Although it would take him four or five days, it would be much safer. Furthermore, he would be able to replenish his provisions in other tribes along the way.

Yun Ruo Lu held the bandit leader hostage, thinking that they shouldn't dare to play any tricks.

They walked aimlessly around the desert for two days and two nights. Other than an environment similar to the Gobi Desert, they did not even see a single blade of grass.

"Boss, did we go the wrong way? In front of us is Slave Valley. Why are we here?"

A bandit discussed quietly with the bandit leader. His voice was very soft, and even Yun Ruo Lu did not hear it.

"If you don't want to die, then shut up! Coming here was obviously to find a way to escape! Do you really want to take them out and use us all up to kill them? "

Although the bandit leader's arm tendons were broken, he was still skilled at kung fu and was very smart, so his subordinates did not dare to be disrespectful to him.

Hearing the bandit leader's words, the other bandit leader was suddenly enlightened. He snickered, "Boss wants to sell these two people to slaves, and then not only will we have the money to earn, we can also go back."

They were already very familiar with Slave Valley, and would often bring a few people to sell it. Furthermore, the guards of Slave Valley were all fiendish, and they didn't have the ability to deal with the people from Slave Valley.

Although the bandit leader had a good plan, he had overlooked one thing. That was, they did not know Yun Ruo Lu and Yuchi Xuan's identities.

The Slave Valley was not casually built. Initially, it was built to punish the criminals who had committed a heinous crime, allowing them to come here and perform servitude for a lifetime.

After walking for about another hour, Yun Ruo Lu could faintly hear the sounds of scolding and whipping coming from within the valley. She stopped her horse and asked what was going on.

"What is that place ahead? Why does it sound like someone's voice? "

Along the way, Yun Ruo Lu was always on guard against these bandits, afraid of falling into their trap.

The bandit leader did not expect Yun Ruo Lu to be so vigilant, so he made up a lie: "The front is … It's Slave Valley. If you want to return, you must pass through this place. If you don't want to go, we can just take a detour. "

Fearing that Yun Ruo You would be able to see through him, the bandit leader rolled his eyes and used a roundabout way to clarify their relationship. They had already taken a long detour, and the bandit leader could tell that Yun Ruo did not want to travel any further.

"Slave Valley …"

Yun Ruo calculated in her mind. Usually, the slave valley at the border of the desert was the prison of the imperial family.

Therefore, Yun Ruo Lu did not hesitate and said directly, "Let's go inside to take a look!"

Yun Ruo's reply surprised everyone, and the bandit leader was even more surprised and happy. He thought to himself, "When you all go in, don't even think about coming out!"
