The dark horse died, and Jieli once thought that his luck was extremely bad! But soon, he suddenly felt that his luck had improved again!
For example, now, with his first kick, he was still upset because he failed to catch up with a wild deer. Unexpectedly, with his next kick, he would step on a nest of unknown bird eggs.
"Thank the gods!"
When he noticed the egg at his feet, Jieli Khan, who had always been extremely noble in the past, suddenly fell to the ground like a beggar, greedily sucking the egg liquid still stuck to the soil, and finally even chewed the eggshell and swallowed it. in stomach! It was as if this nest of eggs was a hundred times more delicious than any meal he had enjoyed before.
But it's still a pity, because a nest of small bird eggs obviously cannot satisfy Xie Li's energy consumption for the past two days!
Especially after surviving the cold night, Jieli's growling stomach constantly reminded his owner that he needed more food.
Rubbing his completely flattened belly, Jie Li suddenly felt as if his stomach had been awakened by egg liquid, and he felt even more hungry!
After searching around, no second nest of eggs was found.
Jieli sat on the ground in despair, looking at the empty desert around him. He reluctantly took off a black bag from his back and filled it with half a bag of horse meat.
The material of the black bag is very strange, as if it is made of some animal skin, it is extremely tough!
Before that, what was inside was not horse meat, but some extremely precious jewelry and property! This was the last fortune that Jieli left for himself.
However, just two days ago, after Black Horse died, those priceless jewels were immediately treated as garbage by him and dumped in the desert at will. Instead, they were replaced by horse meat that could expand the black bag several times!
Just as Li Jing thought, in many cases, Jieli did show the decisiveness that a khan should have.
For example, I can drink horse blood and eat horse meat without hesitation.
For example, without blinking an eye, he threw away all the jewelry that he couldn't eat when he was hungry or couldn't drink when he was thirsty.
If his situation were replaced by Xiao Han, Xiao Han would probably have turned into a corpse in the desert by then, clutching a bag of treasure before he died...
After eating two pieces of horse meat, when the emptiness in his stomach gradually eased, Jieli swallowed his saliva, tied the deflated bag back up, and continued on his way carrying it!
He knew very well that if he couldn't get out of this desert in the next few days, even if he didn't starve to death of thirst, he would freeze to death or be bitten to death by wild wolves!
The sun gradually rose into the sky, and the surrounding temperature suddenly increased. Even the horizon in the distance gradually began to distort. This was an illusion caused by the rising earth energy that confused people's vision and created an illusion in the brain.
In the desert, Jieli really wanted to find a place to hide from the sun, but except for low and gentle patches of earth, there wasn't even a tree around, so there was no way to avoid it!
"Am I going to die here? No, absolutely not!"
Under the scorching sun, Jieli, who had been walking in the desert for several days, still gritted his teeth and moved forward.
At this time, what drove him to take steps was no longer his brain, but the strong desire for survival in his chest!
Finally, after struggling to climb over a patch of earth, Jieli, who felt like he was about to die, discovered that there was a small oasis under the patch of earth, and above the oasis, there were several horses grazing leisurely on the grass!
"Is this a mirage?"
Opening his eyes in confusion, Jieli tried hard to discern whether what he saw in front of him was real, or whether there was a legendary mirage down there, hiding in the darkness and teasing him!
Unfortunately, before he could make a clear distinction, his feet suddenly slipped!
The next moment, Jie Li turned into a rolling gourd and rolled down the slope! When he rolled to the middle, his huge head accidentally hit a stone, which made him roll his eyes and fell unconscious!
————
Time seems to have passed ten thousand years, but also seems to have only passed a second!
Finally, Jieli, who felt like his whole body was falling apart, woke up with difficulty!
When he slowly opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that in front of him it was no longer the same khaki color, but a piece of verdant green!
There were even a few horses pacing leisurely on this green grass, not at all afraid of his uninvited guest.
"Is this paradise? An evergreen pasture with strong horses? Where are my sheep? Where are the beauties?"
The dizzy Jieli wanted to sit up from the ground, but when he moved even slightly, a sharp pain immediately shot through his head! This severe pain came so suddenly and so violently, as if it was going to crush his soul!
"Hey, it hurts!" Stimulated by the severe pain, he subconsciously held his head! Jieli lay on the ground and didn't dare to move! It wasn't until the pain subsided that Jieli felt his hands were slippery! Looking at his hands again, they were already covered in blood!
"Is this blood? I'm not dead yet?"
Seeing the blood on his hands, Jieli finally understood at this moment that he still survived! What is in front of us is not the legendary paradise, but the real world!
"Haha, not dead?! Hahaha..."
At this moment, Jieli, who was about to collapse after being tortured, laughed nervously. Even though he had a splitting headache, he still laughed as happily as possible.
"Ang~"
All around, the leisurely horses were startled by the laughter. They all raised their heads and looked at this strange human curiously.
These horses are not wild horses, nor are wild horses so close to humans!
In fact, from the saddles on them, Jieli had already recognized that these must be their Turkic horses!
As for why these horses appeared here, Jieli didn't bother to think about it.
The most likely possibility is that they were once the mounts of his followers, but after that internal strife, they escaped from the desert without their masters, and were lucky enough to find this green land, and then were lucky enough to be found by themselves. .
I am indeed lucky!
Jie Li has always thought so, and in fact it is indeed the case!
Because he quickly found a mare among these horses, the kind with milk!
You know, among the cavalry, except for useless snacks like Xiao Han, others rarely use docile mares as mounts!
Grassland people have everything if they have horses!
Enduring the pain all over his body, Jieli enjoyed the most luxurious meal in the past few days! As he lay happily on the grass and burped, the world in front of him seemed to become clearer.
"In three more days, no! In one more day, I will be able to reach the territory lost by Suni. Then as long as I wait there until the Tang people withdraw from the grassland, I will still be the king of this grassland!"
