Chapter 187
Chapter 187
The desert is filled with smoke and a long river...
Well, there is no long river here, only sand and sand. Wu Yu and his group have been in the desert for three days and have eaten sand for three days.
And it is precisely because of the wind and sand that the faces of the group are tired.
After all, warriors are also human beings, and they will feel tired, not to mention that they did not ride camels like the usual merchants in order to save time this time.
As for why they did not ride horses, have you ever seen a horse walking in the desert, not to mention that it was carrying a person, so they traveled on foot.
What's more, in the desert, even if they wanted to rest well at night, they couldn't do it.
Wu Yu was lucky, he had more than 300 years of skills, not to mention just three days, even three months would be fine.
But others were not like that, their internal strength was limited, so after three days, everyone looked exhausted.
Apart from the master Shui Yinji and Wu Yu, the only one who was in good condition was Shangguan Yan. After all, she was from the outside of the Great Wall and had long been accustomed to such an environment.
"Old Hua, Brother Wu!"
Taking advantage of the break, Lu Xiaofeng sent a message to the two of them, and then looked behind him. The meaning was very clear, that was the people who were secretly following them.
Wu Yu and Hua Manlou looked at each other, then nodded at the same time and started to walk back the way they came.
On the way, Wu Yu asked, "Are those people still following us?"
Hua Manlou nodded, "Yes, but they are not in a good condition!"
"Not in a good condition?"
"They seem to be lagging behind us a lot!"
"Is that so!"
After hearing what Hua Manlou said, Wu Yu was a little curious. Even in this situation, they were still following them persistently. He was a little curious about the identity of this group of people.
And the fact is just as Hua Manlou said, there are indeed too many people behind him and his group. After walking for about ten miles, they finally saw the group of... women following them?
Yes, women. Although these people have completely lost their usual appearance due to the wind and sun in the past few days, Wu Yu can still tell at a glance that the four people in front of him are all women.
And their current state can be described as horrible, even to the extreme.
Their lips are chapped, their eyes are empty and lifeless, as if their souls have been sucked out. It is obvious that the water in their bodies is seriously lacking, and if they don’t replenish it, they will be in danger of death.
However, even so, these four women are still walking towards Wu Yu and his team with difficulty, with their heads down. I don’t know what kind of perseverance has enabled them to persist.
But even so, I’m afraid that they will be completely buried in this desert in less than a day.
“This is…”
Suddenly, Hua Manlou seemed to have discovered something and rushed to one of the women.
Although Wu Yu was a little confused, he still followed.
"You are... Miss Xue!"
The few people who were busy on their way did not notice that there were two figures in front of them. They looked up only after hearing Hua Manlou's words, and then they all looked at Hua Manlou in surprise.
"Mr. Hua Qi!"
"Miss Xue, it's really you, and you Miss Su, Miss Li, Miss Song!"
After confirming that he was not mistaken, Hua Manlou was confused. He never expected that the people who had been following them would be these people.
"Not Old Hua, do you know them?"
Hearing Hua Manlou call out their surnames one by one, Wu Yu suddenly had a bad feeling.
Hearing Wu Yu's question, Hua Manlou smiled bitterly, "Brother Wu, this is a big mistake!"
Then, Hua Manlou began to introduce the four girls in front of him to Wu Yu. The first one Hua Manlou called out was Xue Bing from Shenzhen Villa, and the other three were unexpectedly Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu and Song Tianer.
Among the four, Xue Bing was Lu Xiaofeng's woman, and the other three were Chu Liuxiang's confidantes, so Hua Manlou made such a blunder.
Sure enough, Wu Yu was dumbfounded after hearing Hua Manlou's introduction. It turned out that the enemy they had been keeping them hanging and even deliberately introduced into the desert to prevent them from escaping was actually Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang's confidantes?
"No, what's going on..."
Wu Yu wanted to find out what was going on, but before he could ask, Xue Bing kept staring at the water bag on Hua Manlou's waist.
After Hua Manlou realized what was going on, he quickly took off the water bag on his waist and handed it over.
After taking the kettle, Xue Bing no longer cared about the difference between men and women. He first raised his head and drank a small sip, and then handed the water bag to the one behind him.Su Rongrong and the other two girls.
However, the water bag had a limited capacity, and Hua Manlou had drunk a lot before, so the four of them drank a small sip each and then it was all gone.
But it was obvious from their looks that this little bit of water was far from enough, but since they didn't know Wu Yu, they were too embarrassed to ask for it.
"Drink mine!"
Seeing the four girls staring at the water bag on their waists, Wu Yu directly took out four water bags from the system space and handed them over one by one.
The four girls didn't care to think about how Wu Yu had turned out the water bags. After taking the water bags, they raised their heads and drank them. Moreover, the water was sufficient this time, so they didn't worry about not having enough to drink.
After they finished drinking the water and recovered a little, Wu Yu signaled to Hua Manlou, "Old Hua, ask them what happened and why they followed us to this desert."
It would be a lie to say that they were not curious. If Lu Xiaofeng hadn't asked them to go back and investigate at this time, I'm afraid the four girls would have died.
Under Hua Man Lou's questioning, the girls did not hide it. It turned out that Chu Liuxiang and Wu Yu went to see Su Rongrong and the other two girls after they parted. After telling them that they would leave for a while to go to the desert with Lu Xiaofeng, they started to take Shangguan Yan to Shenshui Palace.
And it was that farewell that made Su Rongrong, who has always been very smart, smell a different atmosphere.
You should know that the three of them are Chu Liuxiang's confidantes, and they know this famous thief leader very well.
In the past, Chu Liuxiang often went out to do things with friends, and it was normal to leave for a while from time to time. They also adhered to the principle of trusting each other and never asked too much about such things.
But this time, Chu Liuxiang came back to visit them before leaving, which was obviously a bit abnormal.
So after Chu Liuxiang and Shangguan Yan left, Su Rongrong told Li Hongxiu and Song Tianer about this matter. In addition, this matter involved Lu Xiaofeng, so the three women went to Shenzhen Villa to ask Xue Bing about this matter after discussion. Unexpectedly, Xue Bing knew nothing about this matter.
Now the three women finally determined that Chu Liuxiang must have something important to hide from them. After the three women told Xue Bing about the matter, the four women finally decided to go to the desert in person.
In addition, Yumen Pass is the nearest checkpoint to the desert, so the four women decided to reach Yumen Pass first, and finally follow Chu Liuxiang and his party in secret.
However, their cultivation is much worse than Wu Yu and others. In addition, because of saving people, Wu Yu and his party hardly stopped along the way, so this is the embarrassing appearance of the four women in front of them.
