Chapter 572 Go Away!
He turned his head and saw, amidst the swirling yellow sand, a golden gazelle had appeared from nowhere. Its hooves were lifted off the ground as it darted across the desert. The animal was incredibly fast, vanishing dozens of yards away in the blink of an eye. Its slightly swaying horns traced two undulating curves in the air.
After enduring more than twenty days in the desolation of Lop Nur without seeing another living creature, Lin Wanrong was elated. Whipping his horse, he shouted, "Quick, follow it!"
Before he could even finish speaking, Hu Bugui let out an excited roar and sped ahead on his horse like the wind. Five thousand cavalries followed closely behind him. The dust they kicked up filled the sky, resembling a sandstorm rising from the desert.
Chased by five thousand steeds, the gazelle's fear translated into even greater speed. Its hooves barely touched the ground as it sprinted forward, resembling a flying fish leaping out of the water.
They pursued it for nearly half an hour, covering an ever-increasing distance. The gazelle had incredible stamina and showed no signs of slowing down.
"Look, Brother Lin, look! Grass, green grass!" In the midst of their chase, Gao Qiu suddenly raised his whip and shouted in excitement. His voice, louder than the wind and hoofbeats, pierced straight into their ears.
Gazing into the distance, they noticed tiny spots of green appearing in the yellow desert. The patches were sparse and scattered, but to those who had been traveling through the desert for twenty days, even the smallest patch of green was a symbol of life.
Whipping his horse again, Hu Bugui yelled, "Where there's grass, there's water! General Lin was absolutely right. We are about to leave this desert, men! Charge, follow me, charge!"
