0143 Suspicious trails
Long Yingtian was still puzzled about how people were searching for treasures in the buried ancient city when they were exploring the heat before, but Luo Li was observing the surrounding environment.
After a while, she said to herself: "It looks like a place where moonlight will grow, but I'm afraid we have to dig a hole to find it." ”
"Why?!"
"Didn't I say it? Moonglow is a plant that only grows underground, and will emit a faint moonlight light, although it is underground, but it will not be too far from the ground, so it is not affected by the ground environment, and it basically meets its requirements for the ground environment. ”
Long Yingtian said with a look of embarrassment: "Where should I get a hole into this?" Besides, I don't know where there is a hole underneath, and the scope of this Qingluo City on the map is quite large. ”
Luo Li and Chu Zhibai said in unison: "Find the location in the center of the city first!"
Long Yingtian and Tang Mingxi both looked stunned.
"Yes, the central location of the city is generally a symbol of power, and the buildings are relatively tall and grandiose and solid, so they should be easier to preserve, and they are more likely to be exposed above the ground. ”
"That's right. Luo Li added: "And you see that the vegetation and ground here are very intact, obviously there is an entrance to other places, otherwise it would have been dug up." ”
Long Yingtian nodded abruptly, "So that's the case." ”
Luo Li said a little boredly: "It's just that it's boring to find herbs." Suddenly, she excitedly proposed: "It's better to take it as an adventure, let's focus on finding treasures, and take finding Yuehui Luo as a bypass, so it's more interesting." ”
Chu Zhibai was speechless and said, "Are you short of money?"
"It's not a question of lack of money, it's a dream, it's romance, it's ......"
Chu Zhibai interrupted her and only threw two words: "Boring." ”
Long Yingtian and Tang Mingxi were supportive, and Long Yingtian also said excitedly: "Don't pay attention to him, this guy has been super boring since he was a child, let's find it." ”
Luo Li and Tang Minxi immediately responded to Long Yingtian's words, and happily went to the center of the city on the map.
On the way to the center of the city, Chu Zhibai kept looking around, and he still looked very puzzled.
Luo Li, who didn't feel anything abnormal, asked curiously, "What's wrong?
"No, it's just that I didn't see the people guarding the ruins, and it just felt a little strange. ”
Long Yingtian was shocked: "Does this place also need to be guarded? ”
Tang Min regretted but also said: "It's very strange, it is said that this ruins also belong to Shengming City, as long as the bounty order is still hanging for one day, Shengming City has to guard it for one day, after all, the rules are there, people who don't take the task can't set foot here, so at least there should be someone to check our identity." ”
Chu Zhibai said: "According to the regulations, Shengming City will send at least one person to explore with us to ensure that the interests of both parties are not infringed upon. ”
Long Yingtianhou thought about it and said, "Yes, we have to prevent people from stealing the treasure they found." ”
"I see. Luo Li glanced at the map in Long Yingtian's hand, "Could it be that the place is too big and there are too few guards, and the location we entered is just staggered from them?"
"Unlikely. Chu Zhibai analyzed: "The exploration boom has passed, and there are indeed not too many people guarding this kind of place, but there will definitely be corresponding defense methods, and you can find out if anyone has entered the ruins, at least I haven't seen this kind of setting along the way." ”
Luo Li thought about it, but she still felt that this kind of place was really nothing to covet, "Maybe it's because no one has been here for too long, and they're lazy, if you're too worried, let's just be careful." ”
Long Yingtian said casually: "Maybe someone sent a god-level killer to kill Zhibai again, and the people who guarded the ancient monuments were also killed by him by the way." ”
The other three said in unison: "Shut your crow's mouth!"
Long Yingtian's face was innocent, "This is also a possibility for me, and I don't say it to make you wary of it, not knowing the hearts of good people." ”
Luo Li glanced at him, "Do you think we didn't think of this possibility? ”
Long Yingtian sighed lightly, "We are not Hua Ling'er who can speak into a prophecy, what are you afraid of when you say it!"
Luo Li and Long Yingtian were arguing, Chu Zhibai suddenly stopped, pointed to the ground next to a tree next to him and said, "Someone has passed by, and there are half footprints here." ”
Luo Li was stunned for a moment, then looked up, and pointed to a small broken branch not far away and said: "The other party is good, it seems that he has not taken the usual road, and there should be more than one person, the position of the footprints on the ground and the broken branches on the tree is not like a person's path, and there are at least two people by sight." ”
Chu Zhibai analyzed: "Such a hurried way of traveling, it is not like I came to do this kind of slow work as exploration. ”
Tang Min Xi guessed: "Patrolling?"
Chu Zhibai and Luo Li said in unison: "It's possible." ”
Long Yingtian said anxiously: "Find the entrance first, and then make up the identity check when you meet them, and then ask them to send someone to follow us and enter again." ”
Luo Li said: "Follow the footprints to find out, although there are at least two people, but there are obviously two groups on the tree and under the tree, and the person under the tree seems to be following the person above, think about the doubts before Zhibai, let's go and take a look." ”
Long Yingtian asked Luo Li, "How do you know that you are following?"
"The toes of the footprints are towards the tree, and they are so close that they almost lie on the trunk. ”
Long Yingtian quibbled: "Maybe people like to rest on the trunk of the tree." ”
Chu Zhibai said: "There was no footprint before, which means that this person is very good at light skills, a group of people should walk on it with their companions, not a group and there is no conflict, so there is no need to deliberately use light skills in this kind of place, and do such a strange move, Mi Li'er is right, he is indeed tracking the people on the tree." ”
"Can you see which guy is good?"
Luo Li smiled and said, "You really think we are fortune tellers." ”
Long Yingtian smiled and scratched his head.
"But ......," Luo Li speculated, "if one of the guards is Shengming, then this person is most likely under the tree, after all, the reason for following the guards is not so easy to find! Of course, it is also possible that both groups are outsiders, just in case, we have to go and see, in case he needs help." ”
After speaking, Luo Li looked at Chu Zhibai.
Chu Zhibai sighed, "Master is also in charge of Shengming now, and we can't stay out of this kind of thing, let's go and take a look." ”
After Chu Zhibai finished speaking, he looked at Long Yingtian.
Although Long Yingtian, the senior brother, doesn't care about things, and most of the decisions are made by Luo Li and Chu Zhibai, he has always been the one who makes the decision, and in this kind of thing, the other three people consciously give him this power and face, so he immediately gave the order.
After that, everyone followed the various traces found by Chu Zhibai, looking for the whereabouts of the two groups.
