Yan Yun did not expect to be attacked here, so her reaction was a little slow, and her sword was thrown aside in order to save others.
Even if she wanted to raise her sword to block, it was too late. Just when she thought she was about to be stabbed, the sword suddenly stopped again and was only half an inch away from her throat. . . .
There was no hesitation between this movement and silence, and at the same time a head emerged from under the sand.
"Supervisor Yan...is that you?"
"Inspector Xia." Yan Yun was startled when he saw the person in front of him clearly, and then asked hurriedly, "Where are Xiaochuan and the others?"
"They are underground." Xia Huai said, "Not long after you left, we encountered a sandstorm. Professor Xu made a fortune and said that this sandstorm contained great risks, so he called everyone together. After they got together, Kui Supervisor took action and used the earth escape technique to bring everyone underground.
"After that, everyone hid in this sand dune." After Xia Huai finished speaking, he paused and looked around and said, "Why are you alone, where is Lu Jing? Have you found the bead."
Xia Huai's words also made Yan Yun come back to his senses and said in a low voice, "Found it, but then we met Shaojian Guo."
"Shaojian Guo?" Xia Huai was surprised, "Is he here too? So, the sandstorm before..."
"That's right," Yan Yun briefly introduced what happened on the other side, "After you left, Guo Shouhuai took Xiaochuan's rouge and gouache and lied to us that he had buried you underground. Lu Jing was worried about your safety, so he let us know I’ll come back to save people first.”
"Then he is facing Guo Shouhuai alone now?" Xia Huai was startled and worried.
Yan Yun nodded, "As long as you are fine, I will go back and help him defend against the enemy."
"I'll go with you too."
Yan Yun didn't rest at all, so she and Xia Huai rushed back to where Lu Jing and Guo Shouhuai were.
However, when they arrived, the two women found that there was no one there.
Neither Lu Jing nor Guo Shouhuai, nor the huge snail, was anywhere to be seen.
If there weren't traces of the fight on the ground, Yan Yun would have even suspected that the two of them were looking in the wrong place.
In the end, Xia Huai found a blood stain on a stone half a mile away.
So the two of them expanded the scope of their search and searched the surrounding area. After that, they discovered several blood stains and a flying sword under half a dead tree.
Xia Huai recognized that it was Lu Jing's flying sword, which the latter had just acquired not long ago, and called it Shuying, which made her heart skip a beat.
Especially after careful inspection, she found three gaps in Shuying's sword, which should have been cut by other flying swords.
At this moment, countless thoughts arose in Xia Huai's heart.
She just held the flying sword blankly and stood in the wind and sand.
Xia Huai didn't know how much time had passed until he heard Yan Yun shout, "Who is it?" Then he came back to his senses.
Turning his head to look where Yan Yun was facing, he saw a blurry figure.
It was hard to see the person's face clearly in the darkness, but he could still tell that he was missing an arm and had an empty cuff.
Xia Huai put his hand on the hilt of the sword and his breathing became rapid.
Although there is only one person on the opposite side, with Guo Shouhuai's cultivation, even if she joins forces with Yan Yun, she may not be an opponent, and this is not what makes Xia Huai most nervous.
According to Yan Yun, there was a battle between Guo Shouhuai and Lu Jing before this. Now that Guo Shouhuai appears here, doesn't it mean that Lu Jing lost that battle...
Xia Huai no longer dared to think any further.
She saw that Yan Yun on the side had already drawn his sword, and she had silently prepared the magic formula, and was about to cast it... only to see the figure swaying, and then fell to the ground without moving.
At the same time, another figure appeared behind the man. Seeing Xia Huai and Yan Yun, he took the initiative and said, "Hey, you are here too."
Xia Huai recognized that it was Lu Jing's voice, and her tense nerves immediately relaxed. She let go of her hand and rushed over with Yan Yun. She saw Lu Jing's upper body was naked, sweating profusely, and his hair was burned. It was completely burnt, and there were bruises on his ribs, and he was breathing heavily.
This was the first time Xia Huai saw someone looking so embarrassed.
Fortunately, most of Lu Jing's injuries were just superficial injuries, and the blood stains before seemed not to be left by him. Xia Huai was finally relieved, and then his head was filled with shock again.
"You killed Guo...Shaojian Guo?!"
"No," Lu Jing shook his head, "We fought before, and I was lucky enough to win one and a half moves, but I didn't plan to kill him. In fact, I originally wanted to capture him and see if I could get rid of him. I asked more questions, but he seemed to have read through my thoughts, and seeing that he was no match for me, he swallowed his flying sword back into his mouth and mashed his own internal organs."
The two women listened to Lu Jing's words in an understatement, but they both knew that the previous battle would not be so easy.
Yan Yun thought of another thing at this time, and asked in her heart, "Where are the beads?"
"I've gone back," Lu Jing said.
"Guo Shouhuai let it go?" Yan Yun's heart sank.
"No, I let it go." Lu Jing replied, "I have learned from it how to deal with that dragon."
After hearing the news, Yan Jun and Xia Huai couldn't help but feel refreshed.
The reason why they have been wandering around in this desolate Gobi for so long is not to find the last hope to save the world.
It's just that the hope is so slim that even they themselves are doubtful deep down.
Coming to Bailongbo is not so much about saving the world as it is about doing your best to obey fate. Unexpectedly, they actually solved this seemingly unsolvable problem.
"How to do it?" Yan Yun said concisely.
"I got a piece of dragon-slaying art from that snail. In the next month, I will go back to the academy to practice hard. Well, although time is a bit tight, I should still have time."
"What about us? What are we going to do?" Xia Huai asked.
"If I want to get rid of that evil dragon, in addition to practicing dragon-slaying skills, I also need some materials..." Lu Jingdao, "If you are free, help me collect materials this month. The two most important ones are The materials are fire lantern grass and white-eyed cicada, as much as you need... In short, the more, the better."
"Fire lantern grass and Baimu Chanyi?" Yan Yun frowned, "Why does this sound like medicinal materials? What are you going to do?"
"Well, this is a medicine that is very effective against dragons. It can be of great use when slaying dragons." Lu Jing said seriously, and at the end he added, "This is what the snail told me."
Hearing what he said solemnly, Yan Jun and Xia Huai no longer had any doubts.
"We will try our best to help you find these two medicines..."
