Volume 4 Lai Guo Chapter 12 Trapping

Shark Breaker has built the boat and is ready to go back to inform Yan Che. He saw Yan Che and said that he would leave immediately on the same day, but Yan Che said that he was not in a hurry, it was not yet the seventh day, and the key person had not yet come.

"Young Master, did the person you said really come back? You also specially stayed for seven days, didn't this give the other party time to escape?"

"Ordinary people would, but that person would. ”

"Because he's the Seven Swords, and he's a man who cares about honor?"

"Of course not, he has the same beliefs as Yan Qinghou, and the two of them are very similar. Of course, he will not willingly take us to Lai Guo, but what he promised will definitely be done. Besides, he also wants to go back and help their country, but how can he cross the East China Sea on his own? He also needs to borrow our strength, but he is only using each other. So it doesn't hurt to wait a few more days. ”

"Well, I don't know what happened to Lord Wanshi. ”

"According to the news from Ji Wumei's blood bat, they met halfway, and it seems that my uncle also went to Yongguo in the south. I have asked Ji Wumei to send back the news from time to time, with my uncle's ability, there should be no one in the world who is his opponent, not even the Sword Saint is my opponent, and I don't know if there is anyone else in this world who can stop him, and I want my uncle to investigate in person. ”

As soon as the picture turned, it was already in the southwest of Qi Kingdom, and the place full of deserts was seen as far as the eye could see. In the vast desert, leaving a line of footprints is Yan Tiege's. Ji Wumei flew slowly in the air, walking with Yan Tiege. When the scorching sun is in the sky, this desert is like a hot iron plate, the heat is steaming, making people sweat, and Yan Tiege covers his hat to block the heat of the scorching sun. The scorching air distorted my vision, and the desert in front of me seemed to have life, constantly squirming in my eyes.

Ji Wumei said to Yan Tiege: "What is the purpose of Lord Wanshi's coming to this wild place, and I would like you to go out in person, and leave it to me if there is anything to be explored." ”

"Hehe, you are ordered by Che'er to investigate the situation in Yongguo, which is fundamentally different from me, don't let me affect your entry into the city. Besides, I'm the only old man who has nothing to do but just want to get out and walk around. ”

Soon, a city appeared in the distance, and the walls were made of loess, and it was really difficult to distinguish from the desert without looking closely. After seeing the city, Yan Tiege said to Ji Wumei: "Okay, let's separate here, you go and do your business." I'm still going to be in the depths of the desert. ”

"Okay, I'll leave two Blood Bats with you so we can get in touch. Two red blood bats suddenly flew out from behind Ji Wumei, surrounding Yan Tiege, and Yan Tiege and Ji Wumei went their separate ways.

Outside the city, there are still some villages, and Ji Wumei is ready to enter the village first. Her appearance must have caused a commotion, so she took on a human form and walked into the village.

An old man was outside his house, holding a bucket of water and pouring it into a tank. After the bucket was emptied, the old man looked into the water tank, and the water in the tank was less than a third, and the old man shook his head helplessly, and then closed the lid of the water tank. When the old man turned around, he saw a woman from a foreign land, walking in the dust.

The wind and sand outside were strong, and the wind and sand raised made the old man unable to see the woman's face clearly. When the woman walked in, the old man saw her face clearly: it was a beautiful and graceful woman, different in appearance from the local woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and it was easy to distinguish that she was a foreigner. In particular, the local women must cover their cheeks with a veil before leaving the cabinet, and from this point the identity of the person who crossed from the desert can be determined.

The old man smiled at the woman and said, "Is the girl alone? How did she cross the desert? Although the Basa Desert, which is connected to the north, is not large, but without sophisticated equipment and experienced guides, outsiders generally cannot get through." ”

The woman was Ji Wumei, she found that this old man was not ordinary, as if he could see through a lot of things at a glance, obviously he didn't say a word when he came over, but the questions he raised were not easy to answer for a while.

"My team got scattered in the desert and I survived alone. ”

"Yes, that girl is even more unusual, she can be described as extremely lucky. I knew that the desert in this Yongguo country was full of man-eating devils, and if you happened to run into the devil under the sand, the girl might die. After the old man finished speaking, he scooped a glass of water from the water tank and handed it to Ji Wumei. Ji Wumei took the water cup and found that the water in the cup was turbid, and there was mud and sand swirling underneath, and she was about to pour the water from the cup on the ground, but the old man immediately came to stop it when he saw it.

"You woman, you don't know how to lift, I only dare to drink one cup of water every day, and I don't dare to waste a drop. It's good for you, be kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and if you don't drink it, you will pour it. I won't give you this water, I'll keep it for myself. ”

"Isn't it just a glass of water, don't you? ”

"The girl is a foreigner, and it's normal to know something. Here in Yongguo, water is money and life. Oases in this vast desert are rare and water sources are scarce, but any trace of groundwater will be taken by the state as its own. Only the aristocracy had the right to free water, and the common people could only spend money on it. Just this glass of water is already more expensive than a day's meal. ”

Hearing the old man's answer, Ji Wumei somewhat understood this country, it seems that this is really a desolate place, the land is barren and the water source is scarce, the territory is vast but it is an uninhabited desert. If you encounter a city, it must be like what the old man said, there must be a water source.

Ji Wumei stood outside the old man's house, looking at the city not far away through the constantly shaking tarpaulin above her head. I hadn't noticed that the wall was so high, forty meters, or fifty meters high. The wall made of loess is as smooth as a piece of paper, as if it is about to be inserted into the sky, compared with the sky. At first glance, it's magical.

Ji Wumei was about to walk towards the city, but the old man called out to her.

"Is the girl going to Geran City?"

It turned out that this city was called Jielan, and Ji Wumei nodded to the old man. The old man continued: "The girl is a foreigner, and she can't enter the city without the same pass. This city is the royal city of Naland, the king of Yongguo, and it is very well guarded, and if the girl has no cronies in it, or no pass, she should not go there, lest she be arrested as a spy. ”

"What is the pass like? I remember our caravan was belted, but I hadn't seen it, and it was lost in the desert. ”

"Everyone in our village has it, I'll show it to you later. Each of us must have a certificate when we enter the city, otherwise even if we are acquaintances who often come and go, the doorman will not let us into the city. The old man said as he took out a wooden sign from the house. He took the wooden sign and said: "Hey, this is the pass Ming, we also call it life wood, when we are born, someone from the government will send this piece of wood." These pieces of wood are all made by national teachers, and they have magic on them, which can record the identity information of the born person in them. This piece of life wood is mine, so it's useless to give it to you. I think the girl should rest here first, and tomorrow I will go into the city to see if there is a caravan going out of the city, let the caravan take you out by the way. ”

Ji Wumei took the wooden card in the old man's hand and looked at it carefully, but this was an ordinary piece of wood, without any breath, and it was not at all as magical as the old man said. But if it is really as the old man said, it is also a trouble to not be able to enter the city without a wooden sign, and the purpose of this trip is to secretly investigate the Yongguo, and it will not be good if it is hard to break into the city and cause people to rest. Ji Wumei had an idea, looked at the old man's back, and the corners of her mouth smiled unconsciously. She took the old man's back to her, stunned him with one palm, and then changed into his appearance. After Ji Wumei became an old man, she dressed up and walked towards Jielan City. But not long after Ji Wumei left, the old man's fingers lying on the ground suddenly moved, and then he got up slowly, watched Ji Wumei go away, and then wrote a line of words on the sand on the ground. After the old man finished writing, the wind blew, and the words were buried by the wind and sand. And Ji Wumei didn't know all this, and walked straight to the gate under the city wall.

Ji Wumei knocked on the door, and a pair of eyes appeared from a small window on the door, and a voice came from the small window: "Life card." Ji Wumei now looks like an old man, and slowly takes out the wooden card from his arms. The doorman took the wooden sign from the small window, and after looking at the wooden card, he glanced at the old man, and then opened the city gate and let the old man walk in.

After Ji Wumei entered the city gate, she smiled in her heart: "Sure enough, it's just a useless piece of wood, I knew it wouldn't have been so troublesome." But what Ji Wumei didn't expect was that after she left, the two doormen whispered, and one of the doormen left his post and didn't know where to go.

In another desert, Yan Tiege was walking slowly. The place he was going to was at the end of the vast desert, where there were high mountains, like the edge of a large bowl, that surrounded the desert in the middle. Two blood bats hovered high above his head, which were the means of communication between him and Ji Wumei.

As Yan Tiege walked, he suddenly felt the sand on the ground trembling, and the sand was rolling around as if it was being blown even though there was no wind. Yan Tiege looked around carefully, and he saw that a small hill not far away was actually moving, and the direction was towards him. The moving hill was getting closer and closer, and less than 100 meters before the Yan Tie Ge years ago, it finally broke through the ground, revealing its original appearance. Underneath the flying sand, there was a huge scorpion with a long tail as long as the scorpion's body and a length of nearly twenty meters. It seems that this scorpion is treating Yan Tiege as dinner, but who will be the meal on the plate in the end, this scorpion did not expect.

In the desert, the wind is still calm, and there is a kind of desert loneliness and desolation. Yan Tiege continued to walk, and not far behind him lay the scorpion, but the scorpion was already cooked, and the red scorpion shell was still steaming.

At this time, in a dark room, a pair of eyes were watching some Yan Tiege from the air. There were two people in the dark room, and one of them said, "This old man has some ability, but he is alone but menacing, obviously he is coming for us." ”

"He's not necessarily a man, don't you see two bats above his head? Have you ever seen a bat in the desert?"

"That's how he communicates with the outside world?"

"It should be, just now Jielan spread the news that an uninvited guest entered the city, stole the life card, and can disguise the technique, obviously with this guy. I cut them off first, and then I broke them down one by one. ”

The scene shifts to a vulture hovering in the air, then heading towards the two bats. The vulture stretched out its claws and grabbed one of the bats in one fell swoop, turning into blood under the claw's squeeze.

"Blood bats made of blood, that's true. ”

Another blood bat fled in a hurry, followed by a vulture. Yan Tiege looked overhead, he already knew what was going on in the air, but he had no room to retreat, even if he had fallen into the trap of the enemy, he still moved forward. Even if he didn't have any contact with Ji Wumei, he still walked to the other side of the desert.

When it got dark, Yan Tiege finally came to the end of the desert, where there were towering mountains, and there were many standing rocks in front of the high mountains, almost more than a hundred meters high, as if they had been plunged straight into the ground. But how did such a big rock get inserted? Yan Tiege walked on the road between the rocks, revealing a pair of cautious eyes through the cracks in the rocks. And those eyes are so big that they look up from under the rocks as if they were at the same level as the moon.

Yan Tiege sighed in his heart: It seems that I don't accept welcome.
