sjar Chapter 371 Luo Ming
Chapter 371 Luo Ming
In a vast desert that seemed to have no end, Li Zhi and his companions had been trudging for countless days and nights.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky, burning the earth without any hindrance. The hot sand and gravel flashed dazzlingly in the sunlight, and each grain looked like a burning spark.
Day after day, apart from the soft, hot sand under your feet, there are only rolling sand dunes as far as the eye can see, which is monotonous and boring.
This suffocating boredom was gradually becoming unbearable even for people like Li Zhi who had the power of spiritual practice.
Fortunately, however, this team has a large number of people, and the communication and companionship between each other alleviated the boredom and boredom to a certain extent.
During the journey, everyone shared interesting stories from the past, which made this arduous journey more homely.
Ever since Wang's appearance, everyone's vigilance has increased significantly. Everyone is like a bow with a taut string, always on guard.
Perhaps because of this, in the days that followed, the evil spirit seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again.
Although the journey was boring, it was relatively safe and smooth.
On this day, the sun was high in the sky and the heat was unbearable. Layers of heat waves rose from the sand, as if they were going to melt everything in the world.
The team was moving forward slowly, when suddenly, the scout who was exploring the way ahead hurried back. He pointed to the distance with a nervous look and shouted, "Look, there seems to be something over there!"
Although Li Zhi has always used mosquito monsters as exploration pioneers, the harsh desert environment here makes it difficult for mosquito monsters to survive. Li Zhi does not want his precious mosquito monsters to be wasted.
Moreover, the Qiongqi Camp led by Captain Yang also had scouts leading the way, so Li Zhi had not released the mosquito monster since entering the desert.
Therefore, Li Zhi didn't know what was happening ahead.
Like everyone else, he looked up after hearing what the scout said.
On the distant sand dunes, a few blurry figures were seen looming in the distortion of the heat waves.
Although Li Zhi doesn't have a mosquito monster, he has excellent eyesight.
This is due to the nourishment of the liver wood, which makes his eyes not only have an oppressive majesty that ordinary people do not have, but also have vision far beyond that of ordinary people.
Even people like Duan Heng who have practiced for a long time and have sharp eyesight can hardly match him.
At this moment, Li Zhi looked far away. Even though he was far away, he could still catch some vague movements in the distance. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he locked onto that direction.
"What's wrong? What's that thing in front?" Duan Heng noticed something strange about Li Zhi and asked quickly.
Everyone in the same group also cast inquiring glances. They all knew that in this dangerous desert, any abnormality could mean the coming of danger.
Li Zhi's face was solemn, and his voice was low but full of unquestionable determination: "Someone is there! Everyone, move forward quickly!"
These brief words, like a heavy hammer, stirred up thousands of waves in everyone's hearts. No one had ever thought that they could meet a living person in this vast desert.
As Li Zhi's order was given, everyone did not dare to slack off and immediately quickened their pace, heading towards that direction.
The desert sand was scorching hot, and every step felt like stepping on hot charcoal, but no one cared about it at the moment. Curiosity and vigilance intertwined in their hearts, driving them to keep moving forward.
Li Zhi made arrangements quickly. He asked Duan Heng, Chen Hua and Jia Zhen to stay in the team, responsible for protecting the team's safety and moving forward steadily with the team.
He himself took Zhang Wenchu and Nangong Wen and went ahead.
Li Zhi was seen moving as fast as lightning, quickly shuttling between the sand dunes and rushing towards the target location.
Zhang Wenchu and Nangong Wen followed closely behind, their breathing a little rapid, on the one hand because of the fast running, and on the other hand because they were shrouded in unknown tension.
"What happened? Why are you so anxious?" Zhang Wenchu couldn't help but ask, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
Li Zhi didn't even turn his head and said quickly: "There are several people being besieged over there!"
Hearing this, Zhang Wenchu and Nangong Wen felt their hearts tighten and their expressions instantly became serious.
They knew very well that in this desert full of unknown dangers, if a living person was attacked, it meant that some dangers had been exposed.
If they let it go, maybe it will be their turn next time.
So, the two of them quickened their pace, followed closely behind Li Zhi, and ran towards that direction.
…
Luo Ming clenched his teeth, his cheeks bulged from exerting force, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly. His eyes were bloodshot, a mixture of anger and unwillingness.
Watching his companions falling one after another in the blood and rain, the firm line of defense in his heart was being eroded inch by inch by fear and despair. With each person who fell, the line of defense collapsed a little.
But Luo Ming knew that he must not fall down at this moment.
He held on to his exhausted body, holding the steel knife tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force. He roared, swung the steel knife, and chopped at the terrifying monsters in front of him.
"Boss! We can't go on like this. You retreat first. Your brothers will cover your retreat!" A brother covered in blood suddenly rushed over from nowhere, grabbed Luo Ming's arm, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Yes! You should retreat first, or we will all die here!"
Others echoed this, their voices filled with fatigue and despair, but more of a concern for Luo Ming.
At this moment, each of them was at the end of their strength, their bodies were covered with scars, and blood had long since dyed their clothes red, mixed with the yellow sand of the desert, and dried on their skin.
Luo Ming, as the leader of their group, usually treats his brothers as close as brothers, sharing happiness and difficulties. In the hearts of his brothers, he is the backbone, and it is precisely because of this that everyone decided to cover him at this critical moment.
But Luo Ming's brothers treated him like this, how could he do such a cowardly thing as abandoning his brothers and escaping alone?
He gritted his teeth so hard that they made a clattering sound. The sound seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with endless determination: "What nonsense are you talking about! If I leave you and run away alone, how can I have the face to be your leader?"
At this time, an older-looking brother spoke with difficulty, his voice trembling: "Boss, if we are all stuck here, what about Miss Huang?"
These words were like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into Luo Ming's heart.
His body suddenly froze, and the expression on his face froze instantly. A trace of confusion and pain flashed in his eyes, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the moment of departure.
At the beginning, it was because he was in love with Miss Huang and wanted to win her heart that he took the initiative to volunteer to escort Miss Huang here with this group of brothers who were willing to share life and death with her.
He knew that there were dangers in the desert, but he had full confidence in himself and his brothers.
But he never expected to encounter such terrible danger in this desert.
At this moment, Miss Huang was surrounded by those monsters and her life or death was uncertain.
They had finally broken out and were hoping to find help to rescue them, but who could have expected that these monsters would pursue them relentlessly like a thorn in their flesh.
They fought and retreated all the way, trying their best, but were finally trapped in this desolate desert with no way to escape.
