Chapter 3 A Long Way to Go (III)

　　No longer thinking about it, having already left the safe route, this place is indeed not suitable to stay for a long time, Miao Yi observes the surroundings and quietly returns to the so-called safe area, while paying attention to whether there is any immortal grass in the surroundings. 　　He is now also unlikely to continue to go deep into the dangerous area to look for Zhao Xingwu everywhere, also do not know whether Zhao Xingwu can leave alive. 　　By the time he managed to quietly feel his way back to the safe area, it was already getting dark. 　　Continuing to wander around here at night, not even being able to see the road clearly, coupled with the ghostly monsters, it was too dangerous. 　　More importantly, having run too many miles, he was tired and had to find a way to find a place to rest, looking around, he felt his way towards a messy rock forest at the foot of a mountain. 　　Breaking into it, he found a modest cave in the middle of the messy rocks, his heart sighed with relief, it would be best to spend the night here, the outside was covered by the messy rock forest. 　　However, to his surprise, just cat body drilled into the cave, suddenly emerged a big hand choked his neck, Miao Yi subconsciously a pig knife stabbed to save himself, but the other party's reaction is not ordinary, violently tackled his wrist. 　　The two people in the cave finally came face to face, after Miao Yi saw the face of the other party, his eyes flashed, signaling the other party to let go of himself. 　　The other party was none other than the gnarled bearded man from before, and he didn't expect to be hiding here as well. 　　"It's you?" The big man with a gnarled beard was more or less stunned, frowned and slowly let go of Miao Yi, at the same time, the pig-killing knife in Miao Yi's hand was snatched into his hand, it seems that he is still a bit uneasy about Miao Yi, it is really because the memory of Miao Yi's ruthlessness from before is still fresh, worrying that he will lay a cold knife behind his back. 　　"Cough!" The reddened Miao Yi covered his neck and coughed twice. 　　The gnarled bearded man quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice and drank, "Quiet! Is that monster still out there?" 　　Dare I say that he had bumped into the monster again before hiding here. 　　Miao Yi waved his hand and waited for the other party to let go before gasping and shaking his head, "I didn't see the monster when I came over." 　　The gnarled bearded man stretched his head to the outside of the cave and observed for a while, then retracted his head and stared at Miao Yi and frowned, "Kid, you're young enough to be ruthless. Now that I think back, how do I think how wrong, you don't look like robbing something, rather it looks like you want to get rid of those three boys before you get rid of them. Kid, you honestly confess, those three people really have immortal grass on them?" 　　Miao Yi stared at the killing knife that had fallen into the other party's hands, thinking about it without doing anything to hide it, and told the general situation with some reservations. 　　"There are really three damn fools! I said your kid is young, pit up people can not be confused at all ah, I said ...... bah! I'm not much smarter, I was also taken advantage of by you and almost took my life in." The gnarled bearded man laughed at himself. 　　Turning back and looking at the package on Miao Yi's body, he asked, "I was concerned about running for my life, and the food and drink I brought on my body were all lost, do you kid not mind splitting some food for me?" 　　Without saying a word, Miao Yi unwrapped the parcel and took out dry food and water to give out, saying, "Uncle, how about we take turns to rest and keep watch at night? One person in case he sleeps too deeply, I'm afraid it's not safe in this haunted place." 　　He could see that the other party was a practiced one, and moving to press was not a match for the other party, and he was also a little worried that the other party would be unsuspecting, so he first let the other party understand that I'm still a little useful. 　　The gnarled man looked at him with deep meaning, the corner of his mouth hooked up a touch of teasing, didn't say anything, took the food and ate, while eating and looking out of the cave muttered, "I guess it's not so dark outside, it's foggy here, it's dark early." 　　The two men ate like this and chatted without a word, it turned out that this gnarled man named Yan Beihong, was originally a military commander of a city of one million people, but because of the trouble caused by stealing the city lord's concubine, and finally all of his own family members were implicated, and so in a fit of rage, he slaughtered that city lord and ran away. 　　Being wanted everywhere is not a good day, around is under no choice, simply break into the "ten thousand feet of red dust" to fight a hand. 　　Yan Beihong also wondered how Miao Yi, so young, came here to die, cooperation to show sincerity, Miao Yi did not hide from him. 　　That night, according to the agreement, the two took turns to rest and watch the night. 　　After a night of happy cooperation, coupled with Miao Yi's words yesterday led to a group of people robbing, allowing Miao Yi to deeply realize that even if he picked the immortal grass alone, I'm afraid it's still troublesome, so the next day Miao Yi took the initiative to ask for an alliance with Yan Beihong. 　　Yan Beihong didn't agree or refuse, and threw the pig knife back to Miao Yi after dawn, and together they went on the road. 　　With the previous experience of encountering the Underworld Mantis, the two no longer dare to easily run out of the safe route, lucky escape is not something that can be encountered every time, and honestly abide by the safe route on the map to move forward. 　　But along the way to see the situation shows that the so-called safe route does not seem to be safe, safe route can also see the limbs and legs. 　　Analyzing from the traces of bloody corpses that had been directly cut open or chewed on, it was clear that quite a few people had also encountered the Underworld Mantis on the safe route. 　　The two even cowered behind a rock and witnessed a group of Underworld Mantises leisurely crawling past, scaring the two to death. 　　The two vaguely realized that although the Underworld Mantis is murderous, but it is not the kind that kills all, more or less will give people a way out, it seems that the more timid to escape, the more the Underworld Mantis will not let go. 　　The more you go in, the mountains collapsed, river diversion, the ground is full of holes suffered a strong destruction of the situation is not manpower can be, let a person's heart shocked, let a person difficult to imagine what has happened here, is it really happened here fairy devil war? 　　The next encounter makes Miao Yi glad to be with Yan Beihong. 　　Although the Ten Thousand Fathoms Red Dust specializes in Star Hua Immortal Grass, but after all, it does not grow everywhere, the two of them walked deep into the Ten Thousand Fathoms Red Dust for a few days, and did not see the shadow of a single Immortal Grass. 　　What was even more frightening was that after escaping the attack of the Underworld Mantis, they encountered the threat of their own kind. 　　The food that Yan Beihong was carrying on his body was lost when he fled for his life, Miao Yi only had ten days of dry food on him, no one would carry a month's worth of food to run in and around, so his food could still last for a good ten days for one person to eat, and with two people eating it together, it would be hard to count the remaining food to last even five days. 　　The food shortage apparently appeared on the others as well, the two were surrounded by five people, forcing the two to hand over the little food they had left. 　　Yan Beihong hemmed and hawed with a cold smile, fearless as he directly drew his belt knife and rushed forward. 　　As expected of someone who had been the military commander of a city with a population of a million, his body was formidable, and he almost saw red with his sword, and he was able to kill the five people with one against the other. 　　Drying the blood on his belt knife, Yan Beihong packed the little food left on the five corpses and threw it on Miao Yi's back, giving the two of them two more days of food. 　　However, the next day Yan Beihong bumped into someone who was a better fighter than him.
