Lao Chai's words came true in just three days.

Just over a hundred miles away, the scenery on the block was fresh, and a sudden sandstorm left the rookie reconnaissance team in chaos.

The sandstorm did not last long, at least in Luo Xiao's opinion, it was much shorter than the strong wind and sand that he encountered outside Hongliu Town and the intensity was slightly weaker. After all, the season was different. Even so, even if Wang Chong and Lao Chai tried their best to protect him, there was still a disciple who was inappropriate in panic and lost the horse and all the supplies tied to the horse's back.

"If there wasn't a team but you were alone, you would lose all your food, drinking, drinking and animal power, and you would basically lose most of your life." Lao Chai looked at the unlucky disciple who took the food and drinking water from the team members, shook his head and sighed, "There is only half left, it depends on whether you are lucky to meet the caravan."

The disciple looked ashamed, and what made him even more guilty was that he had to ride with others, which invisibly dragged the team down and the speed of the entire team dropped drastically. The consequence was that their time to travel through the Gobi Desert would be longer than expected, and food and water would be more tense.

Such a bad situation made almost everyone in the team panic, except for two.

Lao Chai was a person who once lived from the desert and didn't care about this small scene in front of him at all.

Luo Xiao never lacks food and water in the Fairy Stone Cave Heaven, or he stocks up a lot of food and water every day. You should know that he has to "retreat" for one or two months every day. Since he left the frontier, since he has been sleeping in the open, in case of precautions, Luo Xiao suspended his daily entry into the Cave Heaven to practice. In this way, the food and water stored in the Fairy Stone Cave Heaven is enough for him to use for three or five months. Even if he has a "in-depth tour of the grassland, from spring outing to autumn", it is enough, so there is no need to worry.

However, even if the reconnaissance team really has a shortage of food, Luo Xiao will never take out the food, which is causing trouble. He will only contribute the part of the food he carried openly, and then use his own hunter to leave the team to "hunter" the food. This will not only fulfill its will, but also not reveal the secrets, which is a complete friendship between classmates.

After the sandstorm, near dusk, Lao Chai led the team to a canyon. The deep valley ditch and deep or shallow caves on both sides of the mountain wall gave the team members who had just escaped from the sandstorm a rare sense of security.

"I like this place, let the sandstorm go to the ghost!" Shi Yuan held the fluorescent stone in his hand, and the blue light source reflected the walls, shouting loudly with joy on his face. As he shouted, the cave buzzed and sand and dust rustled down.

"You guys keep the sound!" Xu Yunkai looked shocked and angry, almost stuffing his fist into Shi Yuanda's mouth.

"Woo woo woo woo woo..." Shi Yuan tried his best to break free from Xu Yunkai's clutch, and kept vomiting, "You bastard are covered in sand..."

As the two of them were fighting, the team members tied the horses, took off their saddles, loosened their bellybands, and entered the cave with food water bags.

Dinner is very simple. Use a large pot of accompanying to boil water, throw the air-dried beef into the pot, sprinkle a few slices of dried fennel that can remove the fishy smell, and add salt to make a pot of beef soup. Each person serves a bowl and eats the meat buns, sesame cakes, rice balls and other dry foods. This is how they have eaten these days.

Shi Yuan couldn't help but yell to go to the grassland early to cook some wild game and barbecue. If this continues, his mouth fades out.

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. The disciple named Tian Shouyi, who dragged the team down, couldn't hold back his face and stood up embarrassedly and said, "I'll go drink the horse."

"I'll come too..."

Another disciple who rode with him stood up and was stopped by Tian Shouyi: "No, you all sit down, I'll just come."

Wang Yanjie glanced at the disciples: "Let him go, otherwise he will feel uneasy."

The disciples nodded and sat down. After a while, Wang Chong called Hu Luo Xiao and Wang Yanjie over, and Lao Chai and four of them discussed the matter together.

"If you walk further, you will truly enter the Tula realm, so from tomorrow, you may encounter Tula Rangers at any time." Lao Chai narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Chong, "I'll just be a guide and will not participate in the battle."

"That's natural." Wang Chong glanced at Lao Chai's lame leg and nodded, "You don't have to worry about the battle, you can leave it to us."

Wang Chong said, turning his head to look at Luo Xiao, Wang Yanjie and the others, and solemnly said: "Our mission is reconnaissance, not fighting, but if the battle is inevitable, I ask you to lead all your juniors to do their best and kill any Tula you see with the power of a lion fighting a rabbit, and you must not let anyone go!"

Luo and Wang both focused on the key points.

Lao Chai used half-burned wooden branches to mark the ground: "We are here now. If we walk northwest for two days, we may encounter a Tule occupant - if they have not moved. This Tule occupant was quite friendly to the caravans in the past, and their tribesmen often traded at the border. However, at present, the entire Tule Alliance is moving, and it is hard to say that the other party will remain friendly as before. So, I think your reconnaissance may start with this task."

Wang Chong asked some details again, turned to Luo, and Wang said, "Once the action begins, we will be divided into three groups. Luo Xiao, Wang Yanjie, you will each bring three people. I will take two of them and touch them from three directions..."

After it got completely dark, the discussion was almost done, and Wang Chong began to arrange a vigil. But at this moment, an unexpected situation occurred - Tian Shouyi, who had previously said to go to drink horses, disappeared.

"There are many horses, and they were all fed, which means that you, the disciple named Tian Shouyi, did work. Then..." Lao Chai may not be a warrior, but his rich tracking experience is not comparable to that of the young men, and even Luo Xiao is not as good as that. Now he is leading everyone to a hole a hundred steps away from the camp, lying on the ground and sniffing it, standing up and patting the dust, and saying, "He came here to release water, this is the last place he appeared."

Looking at Lao Chai's actions, when he heard him "release water", almost all the disciples of the martial arts temple jumped and their eyes twitched.

Luo Xiao nodded secretly. He knew that Lao Chai was right. He felt that Lao Chai's actions were very natural, because the actions he did when he was chasing prey in the mountains before were even more disgusting than this.

"You mean, Shouyi is missing here? Could it be that someone had been plotted against?" The disciple who had a very good relationship with Tian Shouyi asked loudly.

"Yes! There are no footprints of anyone here, and it is obviously impossible not to leave any marks in such a short time." Lao Chai held the fluorescent stone with his hands, looked around with his back, and from time to time he touched the sandy ground that looked no different from other places in the eyes of the disciples.

After a while, Lao Chai raised his head and said in a sure tone: "The traces here have been processed, it is obvious that we have been targeted."

The disciples were in a state of turmoil and felt uneasy.

Wang Chong's eyebrows were twisted into a deep Sichuan character, and he was targeted? Is it a Tula? If this happens, will there be a terrible trap waiting for their team? As the leader, his duty is to try to ensure the safety of the team members to complete the tasks. They are not an army, nor are they soldiers. It is a normal choice to give up the task when their lives are threatened. However, then again, being stuck in a position because of the disappearance of a team member will damage the reputation of the martial arts hall and will have an adverse impact on the future future of Wang Chong and the disciples of this team.

Wang Chong rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and issued an order: "The whole team was divided into three groups. I, Luo Xiao and Wang Yanjie each led a group. Wang Yanjie's team left the guarding supplies. I searched along the left canyon, and Luo Xiao team searched along the right canyon. Action!"

The grouping originally used for reconnaissance was unexpectedly used in this situation for the first time.

The choice of team members is to draw lots. Otherwise, those red-belt disciples will probably choose to lead the team to teach. Who wouldn't want a mysterious warrior to protect him?

The final result was that Shi Yuan and a disciple joined the king and reorganized, Xu Yunkai, Duan Qinglan and a disciple joined Wang Yanjie's group, and three other red belt disciples entered Luoxiao's group. However, just after the selection of the group was completed, Duan Qinglan discussed in a low voice with a disciple of Luoxiao's group, and then the two sides exchanged a little. Duan Qinglan went to Luoxiao's group, and the disciple joined Wang Yanjie's group.

This kind of exchange is allowed, as long as both parties agree.

Luo Xiao saw Duan Qinglan paying a Yuan Pei Pill for this. If he guessed correctly, this should be one of the reward resources of the Baicao City Guard.

"I didn't expect you to be so optimistic about me." Luo Xiao looked at Duan Qinglan with a touch of playfulness, "Why? Just because I defeated Wu Junyan, is the so-called 'the number one person under the warrior'?"

"It's not entirely because of this reason." Duan Qinglan said lightly, "The senior brother who exchanged with me does not recognize this title. He thinks that you are just taking advantage of your body and footwork, and your strength is similar to that of Wang Yanjie."

Luo Xiao knew that this was because of the breath-catching technique, which allowed him to freely regulate his own breath. Now the breath he released was in the early stage of the fifth level, which was indeed similar to Wang Yanjie, so it caused a misjudgment from almost all disciples, including Wang Chong. He didn't care about this, but was a little strange, why did Duan Qinglan not be "almost" in this?

"So, what's the real reason?"

"Maybe, it's because I'm a woman."

The reason given by Duan Qinglan surprised Luo Xiao. Is this a reason?

"A woman is naturally careful than a man, and pays more attention to details. Maybe you didn't even notice it yourself..." Duan Qinglan gently approached Luo Xiao and lowered her voice, "Along the way, whether it was about food and water shortages or missing team members, your face was always calm and you never had any nervousness in your eyes. You didn't worry about yourself at all. Since that's the case, can you follow you without worrying about yourself?"
