Chapter 507: Recuperation
"Run! Don't look back!" Several people frantically whipped the camels to run away, and behind them were people riding horses. "Third brother, dare to bet with me! I can shoot and kill that person in yellow clothes with one arrow!" The man on the horse laughed rudely. "Bet! Just use this wealth as the capital!" Another person also laughed.
The man opened his bow and set an arrow. The arrow flew like a meteor, flying straight to the yellow-clothed man who was running away frantically eighty steps ahead. Camels bump up and down quite a bit when running, and it is not an easy thing to hit the target with one arrow while riding a horse. However, this arrow was fast and accurate, and it seemed that there was no problem with shooting this person with one arrow.
At this time, an arrow flew from the side. The path of this arrow was like a bird circling, and it cut off the arrow shot by the man with one arrow. "Phoenix Tail Arrow?! Sixth brother, what are you doing!" The man roared. But his roar was met only by the mockery of others. "No one said you can't interfere, just now Sixth brother opened a handicap to bet you wouldn't hit!"
The gambling of the horse thieves behind didn't attract the attention of anyone in front. They just desperately whipped the camels to run away—falling into the hands of the horse thieves might be worse than death. At this moment, they could only hold the idea of ten thousand and run for their lives. At worst, they would end it themselves when they couldn't run away.
The horse thieves were noisy behind, fighting each other but didn't give up chasing the prey in front—they knew these people couldn't escape, and the chase was just for fun. After bypassing a sand dune, suddenly appearing in front of the fleeing people was a quite dense forest, with beech, cherry, poplar, and even oak trees.
This is a strange scene that has never been seen in the desert. Even if the Gobi Desert is an oasis, it will not grow such trees, especially oak and beech trees. And the ground here is no longer the sand and stones of the Gobi, but replaced by thick humus soil. And the hot sunlight in the sky was instantly covered by clouds.
The camel's footsteps also slowed down, and they rushed to the flowing stream between the trees regardless, lowering their heads and drinking water desperately. The people on the camels could only abandon the camels and run for their lives—they had no time to consider how this place came to be. How could there be such a place in the desert?
The horse thieves also slowed down when they arrived here. Their warhorses also ran to the stream to drink water, and the horse thieves were obviously much more considerate than the victims. They had enough leisure. "There is something strange! Should we go?" Someone said so. Horse thieves don't want their lives when they see benefits, but they run extremely fast when they see signs of danger—horse thieves who don't do this have long died.
"Look again!" The leading horse thief rejected this proposal—this strange "oasis" might be very dangerous, but it might also be a new source of wealth. "There was no such place before, right?" He confirmed. In fact, he could confirm that this place was definitely just an ordinary Gobi desert a few months ago. He was just letting his subordinates confirm it again now.
After getting an affirmative answer, the horse thief stopped his steps of going deeper—he grabbed a young horse thief. "You! Follow those people, no matter where you go or what you see in an hour, come back to me!" After speaking, he pushed the guy and let him go quickly. The young horse thief was also angry but didn't dare to speak. He could only seek wealth in danger, and rode his horse to follow the fleeing people quickly.
The camels had been collected by other horse thieves, and these horse thieves all stayed at the dividing line and did not go deeper.
The fleeing merchants found that there were no horse thieves for the time being, and they also breathed a sigh of relief. This breath was released, and all kinds of feelings surged up. Pain, sadness, anger, sorrow, and even celebration and joy were mixed together, and their bodies became very heavy like lead, and their limbs were sore and painful.
They also had to lean on the tree trunks and sit on the ground. At this time, the sound of horse hooves came, and the horse thieves came, but they couldn't lift their strength to run away anymore, and could only close their eyes and wait for death or hold a small knife for cutting meat and prepare to fight to the death. These people also had martial arts, but the long-distance escape exhausted their strength and internal energy. At this time, I am afraid they were not as good as people who didn't know martial arts.
The horse thief who chased was just one. This young man saw the fleeing merchants sitting on the ground, and also grinned. He looked left and right, carefully raised the bow and arrow on the horse—he knew that these people were going to fight like trapped beasts, and of course, he didn't prepare to come up and fight with them, just shoot these merchants to death with bows and arrows and then search their bodies. An hour was still a lot of time, enough for him to go back—he didn't dare to go deeper.
The arrow was like a galloping thunder. This horse thief had strong martial arts, and the true Qi attached to the arrow could also break the target's protective Qi—if they had any. It was just that when the arrow was about to hit, suddenly a yellow light flashed, and when he looked closely, he found that the arrow was bitten by a yellow "cat".
This cat was as big as a lynx, but its head was bigger than a lynx, and it had long hair surrounding it—everyone didn't know that this was a "lion". Dio bit off the arrow in its mouth, turned around and looked at the few people in front of him. "What kind of beast?" The young horse thief cursed, opened his bow and set an arrow and shot an arrow, the power of this arrow was much greater and faster than just now.
It was just that after this arrow was shot, it broke into two pieces directly in the air. At this time, a sharp whistling sound was heard. Bai Lang walked slowly from the other side. He was also wearing wide robes at this moment—there was no way, the injury hadn't fully recovered, so he didn't need to go out to see people, of course, he wore whatever he wanted.
His chest could be exposed from the lapel, and it seemed that there was nothing inside except the robe. He was also wearing a pair of soft wooden slippers on his feet, one sleeve was empty because the arm was taken out of it and hugged in his chest, and the other arm, although wearing a sleeve, was also swinging casually.
His hair wasn't combed, his hair was disheveled, but it wasn't long, just an inch or so. This beard was even longer than his hair and roots were exploding, which was truly a good appearance. Bai Lang walked to this place and looked at the horse thief. "Huo, dare to take action against my pet, not a good person. Look at your sneaky appearance, are you a horse thief?"
The young horse thief also knew the importance. This arrow of his was definitely shot down by the man in front of him. What was he doing here? Running away was the best policy. This kid was also smart, immediately pulled the reins, and directly whipped the horse to leave—and it should be true Qi running through the horse's body, greatly stimulating the horse's power.
"Running really fast, like a wisp of smoke. Hey, who are you people?" Bai Lang glanced at the fleeing horse thief and turned to ask the people who were struggling to get up and salute him.
"We are all merchants, unlucky to meet these star-filled thieves..." These people cried while talking, and someone seemed to want to say something else but was pulled by the person who looked the oldest. "Thank you, sir, for saving our lives." ===== CHAPTER 508 =====
