Chapter 469: The West Exit is Difficult

After Zou Dui finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, waiting for everyone's decision. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When the warriors were still hesitating, He Dachong nodded solemnly, hugged his fist to Zou Dui and said: "It was the young man who rescued us before, the young man is so chivalrous, he will definitely not harm us! I and a few brothers are willing to follow the young man to the west exit!"

He Dachong resolutely expressed his position, and some people hesitated and agreed with He Dachong's opinion. However, there are still many warriors who chose to part ways and go to Dongze City after thinking about it.

With these warriors taking the lead, most of the people in the team chose to take refuge in Dongze City, and only a few chose to follow Zou Dui.

After all, compared to the far west entrance, the distance of Dongze City is closer, so it can be said that it is right under the nose. At this time, the pursuers of the Demon Sect and the Southern Barbarians were chasing after each other, and they would be slaughtered at any time, and most people couldn't stand this kind of physical and mental torture.

The team was divided into two, and Zou Dui immediately felt a lot less pressure, and it may be that the big team going to Dongze City attracted more of the pursuers of the Demon Sect and the Southern Barbarians, and Zou Dui and the others could go to the west exit lightly.

Despite this, as they gradually entered the wilderness, the team still had various problems. This made Zou Dui and others deeply feel that it is not easy for ordinary people to travel through the wilderness and go to the distant West Exit.

There is no need to worry about the supply of food and other supplies for the time being, everyone has already carried enough food when they are fleeing for their lives, but most of the people in the team are ordinary people, and after traveling for too long, many people are tired, and there is an epidemic in the back.

In addition to these, there were also chasers from the Nanban and the Demon Cult from time to time along the way, harassing the team. But after Zou Dui and He Dachong broke off, the entire team suffered very little loss in this regard.

All the way through the wilderness, the entire team was seriously reduced. Zou Dui also has no way to do this, this section of the road to the West Exit, even a strong martial artist will have a very difficult time, let alone ordinary people.

During this period, Zou Dui led the team to the temporary camp where Xiaoting was to replenish.

The people in the camp were grateful for Zou Dui's kindness and naturally welcomed him warmly, but because the camp itself was not rich, the team could only replenish a large amount of drinking water, but fortunately, the food of the team itself was not so lacking due to serious attrition.

Zou Dui had plans to surprise Ziyu a little, so he never told Ziyu about Xiaoting's situation. When Ziyu and Xiaoting finally met, they couldn't believe it at first, and then they hugged their heads and cried.

When Zou Dui left with the team, except for Xiaoting and a few others, there were surprisingly not many people in the temporary camp who followed Zou Dui, even when they knew that the war broke out and they had the opportunity to enter Qiannan.

Zou Dui was puzzled by this, but an old man in the camp gave an explanation.

"Shaoxia, since our ancestors were exiled to the Great Wilderness, our descendants have never stopped their efforts to get out of the Great Wilderness. But it is not easy to get out of the wilderness, natural obstacles are already difficult, and artificial obstruction is even more helpless. What's more, even if we get out of the great wilderness, in the eyes of others, we are still sinful people, and we are indispensable to the white eyes and prejudices of others. Although this great wilderness is wild and sinister, after so many years, generation after generation, this is now our home, and we do not have to leave our own home to be discriminated against and prejudiced by others......"

The old man's words made Zou Dui quite emotional.

Historically, the Great Wilderness has always been one of the places where sinners were exiled from the Great Desert, and many of the people in the Great Wilderness today are the descendants of the sinners of the past, so the entire Great Drought has more or less discrimination and contempt for the people of the Great Wilderness.

But even so, most people in the Great Wilderness are extremely eager to get out of the Great Wilderness, and they do not hesitate to pay a great price for this. And like this old man, there are very few people who have such incisive insights and open-minded attitudes.

"The young man is kind to us, before leaving, the old man wants to warn the young man. It is not easy for even a young man to get out of the great wilderness, and if a young man wants to take so many people out of the great wilderness, it is even more impossible, even in wartime. It's still a long way to go to the West Exit, so please be careful all the way!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Zou Dui thanked the old man, but he didn't take the old man's words to heart. He didn't think that Dagan would inhumanely turn away these refugees who had fled for their lives, and watch the refugees fend for themselves.

Bidding farewell to the old man and the people in the temporary camp, Zou Dui led the team on.

After another half a month, although the team is still reduced, it has been much slighter. But what made Zou Dui and the others frown was that the speed of the whole team was still not fast, and in addition to the harsh surrounding environment, it was the limit of about thirty miles a day.

And the closer you get to the west entrance, the more steep the terrain becomes, there are a lot of poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, thorns everywhere, etc., not to mention, there is a section of the road that has become a sheep intestine trail opened up on the mountainside, only allowing one person and one horse to go together, and it is a winding mountain road.

Such an environment and road are simply too difficult for ordinary people, and for the old, weak, sick and disabled, they need someone to support or carry them in order to continue to move forward. It's no wonder that some people write poems and say: "The difficulty of the West Exit is difficult to climb to the sky!"

At this moment, the speed of the entire team continued to decrease, and they could only move less than ten miles a day. The only good thing is that after all the way out, the rest of the people in the team are healthy people, and there is no outbreak of epidemics.

After another half a month, under the leadership of a horse team that joined along the way and went to the West Exit, the whole team finally walked out of the extremely difficult and poisonous weeds winding mountain path and entered the "West Mouth Plain".

The so-called "Xikou Plain" is actually just a flat land sandwiched between two mountain ranges, but after a long period of torture by poor mountains and bad waters, the plain landscape that appears in front of you is as wonderful as a fairyland. In addition, after coming to the "West Exit Plain", the West Exit is not far away. As a result, the morale of the team was greatly boosted, and many people cheered for it.

This morale surge did not last long, and after more than half a month of marching on the Xikou Plain, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted again, and the pursuers of the Southern Barbarians gradually appeared behind them. This made Zou Dui's brows tighten, realizing that the Demon Sect and the Nanban were only afraid that they had basically occupied the towns of the Great Wilderness, and now they had crossed the natural obstacles, and the target was directly towards the west entrance.

In the current situation, the armies of the Demon Sect and the Southern Barbarians are faster, once the goal is to attack the West Exit, if Zou Dui and the others cannot reach the West Exit before the outbreak of the war, they will be directly crushed by the Demon Sect and the Southern Barbarian army......
