Seekers Without Bounds
Chapter 54: First Visit to Tengji
In addition to Shi Xunfei and other five talented warriors, there are also thirty-five ordinary warriors waiting in Wangcheng.
Because they were delayed for a few days in going to the Shenshu Temple to pick up Shi Xunfei and then returning to Miancheng, the group also waited a few more days in Wangcheng.
"Jiang Zhongtian, Gu Jinshui, bring everyone out. Once everyone is here, we can set off now."
Qi Dali brought Shi Xunfei and his party to the station of the Washi Patrol Battalion in Wangcheng (very close to the Wangcheng Wooden Boat Station.)
All the people in the garrison were mobilized. There were no tracks for wooden boats in the Tengji Desert, so everyone had to ride camels to Washi Village.
Shi Xunfei had never seen a camel before, and he was extremely curious about it. He touched this and looked at that, and couldn't wait to ride on one to feel it.
"No horses? How can a great earth warrior like me ride a camel?" Mao Yaozu complained while looking at the rows of camels.
"That Qi Dali has a horse. With your eloquence, you can borrow it from him." Qi Dali, like Mao Yaozu, is an earth warrior.
The remaining two leaders, Jiang Zhongtian, were carrying longbows, and they must be Qingmu warriors. Gu Jinshui had a musket similar to Du Shixiong's on his camel, and he was undoubtedly a Holy Fire Warrior. Shi Xunfei looked closely and saw that his pattern grade was far inferior to Du Shixiong's.
"You are really talking nonsense. How could he give it to me?" Mao Yaozu stuck out his tongue.
"Eighteenth sister, can you load your things? If not, your brother-in-law will help you carry them." Pan Youlong teased Mao Yaozu who was still loading luggage onto the camel.
"Pan Chong, you better take care of yourself. You're so fat and big-eared. Your camel is almost broken by you." Mao Yaozu would never suffer any loss when he spoke.
The group was ready and about to set off when a soldier from the Wangcheng army came over on a horse.
"Captain Qi, please wait a moment. Another warrior has been assigned to your Washi Patrol Camp."
"There's another one. Who is it?" Qi Dali looked at the list. There were only three people on the list. Who was added?
"he came."
The young man in white riding a camel with little luggage. With the extraordinary eyesight of the Wind Whispering Warrior, Shi Xunfei could see clearly from a distance that it was Lu Zhaohui who boarded the boat in Miandu.
His eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, his features are clear, his skin is fair, and his figure is slender. He looks like a handsome man who walked out of a painting.
"A Fei, why did this pretty boy from Miandu go to that damn place with us?"
Mao Yaozu was very surprised that Lu Zhaohui also went to Washizhai.
"Who knows, maybe he goes there to get gilded." Shi Xunfei was not so curious. After all, they were about to enter the Tengji Desert. What he cared about was where in the desert the wind spiritual power was the strongest and most suitable for cultivation.
"Going to Washizhai to gild yourself? How unique." Mao Yaozu felt much better when he saw Lu Zhaohui going there too.
"All the gifted warriors should not carry luggage on the camels they ride. We have limited manpower. Please give your luggage to the soldiers. You will be responsible for patrol duty along the way." Qi Dali arranged. There were only three warriors to guide them, and the journey was long.
The gifted warriors are the core of the team's combat power, and arranging patrols can also help them adapt to the desert environment as quickly as possible.
Mao Yaozu was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately asked a sergeant to exchange the camel for him. Shi Xunfei only carried his only bag and gave Mao Yaozu's luggage away.
With Lu Zhaohui joining, there were a total of nine gifted warriors. Qi Dali arranged the patrol mission for the group and set off immediately.
The one in the front is Gu Jinshui, the one walking in the middle is Qingmu warrior Jiang Zhongtian, Shi Xunfei is the Fengyu warrior and was arranged by Qi Dali to walk in the middle, and he and Jiang Zhongtian are responsible for each side.
Mao Yaozu was arranged by the Earth Warrior to walk at the end of the team with him, which made Mao Yaowu, who originally wanted to be lazy, very depressed.
Entering the Tengji Desert, there were rolling heat waves, endless yellow sand, and no wind at all.
The most suitable warrior for this environment is the Sandstorm Warrior, followed by the Holy Fire Warrior.
Qi Dali gave each person a Frost Pill. Shi Xunfei took it in his hand and took a look. If this pill was in the pill room of the mercenary camp, it wouldn't even be considered a defective product.
After walking for a whole day, the sky gradually darkened, but Qi Dali still did not order the troops to stop and rest.
Because you have to reach a designated location to station in the desert, many problems will arise if you station randomly.
Everyone else's faces were sunburned, but Lu Zhaohui remained fair and clean, as if a day of exposure to the sun had no effect on him at all.
This made Shi Xunfei very curious. What kind of warrior was he?
But Lu Zhaohui is very arrogant and has never spoken since he got on the wooden boat.
Finally we arrived at the designated camping site. Everyone quickly jumped off the camel and sat there for the entire day, with their buttocks sticking to the camel's back.
The sergeant was in charge of setting up the tent, and Mao Yaozu walked over to Shi Xunfei and complained.
"Hey, I'm tired and sleepy, so you should arrange the patrol so that we can wander around. I can't steal anything if I follow Qi Dali."
"You, a warrior of the earth, will also feel tired just riding a camel. Isn't riding your strong point?" Shi Xunfei asked.
"We have to ride a horse, and it has to be a Luling horse, not a stupid camel with a hump on its back. Do you think that pretty boy is mute? I didn't hear him speak the whole way. I, Mao Yaozu, am the toughest man in Yunchuan, and I get upset when I see pretty boys." Mao Yaozu said while looking at Lu Zhaohui who was sitting on a sand dune.
"Maybe other people just don't like to talk. Do you think everyone is like you? They can talk even when they are sleeping."
As Shi Xunfei was speaking, Lu Zhaohui seemed to have heard the two people's conversation. He turned around and looked at them, and his eyes happened to meet Shi Xunfei's.
"Stop talking, he heard it." Shi Xunfei reminded Mao Yaozu.
"He can hear it from such a distance. He must have super hearing." Mao Yaozu disagreed, but found that Lu Zhaohui was staring at him on the sand dune.
He quickly turned his head away and pretended nothing had happened.
"Everyone, the night sentry deployment schedule has been released. One gifted warrior will lead two sergeants to be on guard. Two groups will be arranged every night and they will take turns on duty."
Qi Dali made arrangements for the evening.
"A Fei, you unlucky guy, you're the one on the first night today, haha. That pretty boy is the same as you today." Mao Yaozu laughed as he looked at the list.
"Don't worry, no one will be left behind in this matter."
Shi Xunfei was actually looking forward to it, because there was no wind at all in the Tengji Desert during the day, but the wind gradually became stronger at night.
"Who is Chu Quan? Su Bo, come with me to the sentry post to set up defense." Shi Xunfei couldn't wait any longer, and everyone could clearly hear the voice transmitted by wind language.
At once, everyone looked at Shi Xunfei. There were only a few people in the group who were familiar with him, and he didn't have the patience to ask them one by one.
"Yes!" Hearing Shi Xunfei's call, the two hurried over.
"You two stand guard at the two southeast corners. If anything happens, kick down the flying knives I placed there immediately." Shi Xunfei distributed the cloud shuttle flying knives around so that he would know quickly if someone broke in.
Arrange the two people at the two ends respectively, and sit firmly in the center. No one will disturb your practice, and you can provide support in the first time if there is any situation.
"Every hour, the two of you need to switch positions. Do you understand?" With twenty-four cloud shuttle flying knives in his hands, Shi Xunfei can already cover the early warning of the entire garrison, but after all, he has arranged two soldiers, and he can't ask them not to come.
"Yes." The status of any gifted warrior is far higher than that of an ordinary martial artist.
After everything was arranged, Shi Xunfei began to meditate and sense the wind. Unlike the previous times on the cliff, the spiritual power of the desert wind always emerged in waves and was very chaotic.
Shi Xunfei arranged the Cloud Shuttle Blade Formation to not only give warnings, but also to attract the surrounding wind to flow towards him for practice, thus making the originally chaotic wind have some order.
At the darkest time of the morning, everyone should be sleeping soundly. Although the outermost few cloud shuttle knives did not fall, they were touched.
The person was coming very fast. Shi Xunfei opened his eyes suddenly and drew his Yan Gu sword. The clear sound of geese wailing pierced the originally silent environment.
With the surrounding cloud shuttle flying knives, he stabbed the uninvited guest.
The man who came was wearing a mask and holding a long spear, which stirred up the surrounding sand like a wall, and all the flying knives were blocked.
Shi Xunfei leaped high up along the wall and slashed down with a New Moon Slash. He turned his halberd and the abundant power of the earth directly shattered the New Moon Slash.
"Master!" The Yan Gu Sword, which was condensed into a crescent shape, directly cut the sand wall formed by the halberd.
With a clang, the swords and halberds collided, and the sand wall dissipated. "Captain Qi!?" Shi Xunfei exclaimed.
"Very good. The higher-ups have provided a good seedling for the Wa Shi border army." Qi Dali put away his halberd and praised.
"You are very alert and able to cope with situations. I originally thought that you were not old enough to adapt. I was overthinking."
"I thought there was an intruder." Shi Xunfei now understood that it was Qi Dali checking the sentry post.
"Haha, this place is close to Wangcheng, no one will take action here, but don't take it lightly. The deeper you go into Tengji, the more dangerous it is. You must be alert. I'll go to the other side." Qi Dali was very satisfied with Shi Xunfei's performance and turned around to go to the side guarded by Lu Zhaohui.
When daybreak came, Shi Xunfei put away his Cloud Shuttle Flying Knife. Last night's harvest was really mediocre.
The east wind is weak, and the wind spiritual power here is not even half of that in the Purple Bamboo Forest. We can only wait and see what will happen if we go deeper into the Tengji Desert.
Everything was packed and they were about to leave when Lu Zhaohui approached on his camel and asked, "You were on guard last night, weren't you?"
"Yes." This was the first time Shi Xunfei heard Lu Zhaohui speak. His voice was very special and sticky.
"Captain Qi praised you. Let's have a martial arts show when we get to Washi Village." After Lu Zhaohui said this, he rode away on his camel without waiting for Shi Xunfei's consent.
"Little pretty boy, you speak like a woman and provoke me right away."
Although he was clearly challenging Shi Xunfei, Mao Yaozu was indignant instead.
Lu Zhaohui suddenly turned his head and looked at Mao Yaozu.
"Hey, you guy, tie my luggage tightly. If it falls, I won't forgive you." Mao Yaozu made an excuse and walked away quickly.
"Mao Shiba, aren't you the toughest man in Yunchuan?" Shi Xunfei laughed when he saw his funny look.
