A minute later.

In the middle of the desert.

I only heard a scream like killing a pig, and then I saw Ji Chen running wildly in the desert.

Behind him, a rattlesnake spitting a letter was madly chasing him.

Ji Chen scolded as he ran: "Jiang Qing, you witch who has been stabbed with a thousand knives, Lao Tzu remembers you!"

"Hey, you still have the strength to scold me, it seems that you have to add some more fierce material. Jiang Qing muttered to herself.

"Ahh

This time, there were three rattlesnakes following Ji Chen!

The hideous snake pupils, and the rapid speed...... Ji Chen not only had a numb scalp, but even his back was soaked with cold sweat.

He ran for his life......

But if he can run again, the moment when he finally has the strength to exhaust. When Ji Chen couldn't run, one fell to the ground, and the rattlesnake behind him gradually enlarged in his eyes......

Just as the rattlesnake was about to pounce on him, the next second, a blue light flashed, and three rattlesnakes were chopped off their heads by the sharp wind knife.

The three snake heads were placed in front of Ji Chen so neatly, and there was a writhing snake body, which frightened Ji Chen to retreat a few feet away, and after confirming that it was safe, he wiped his sweat with his hands, and his hands were wet.

Jiang Qing slowly rode a camel to Ji Chen's side, and said casually: "I can't see it, Mr. Ji's physical strength is very good." ”

Ji Chen learned to be obedient this time, and he didn't dare to curse Jiang Qing in his heart, so he forcibly pulled out a smile and said, "Jiang Qing, I was wrong, did you spare me this time?"

"Are you wrong?" Jiang Qing looked very surprised, "I'm just joking with you, Mr. Ji don't take it seriously." ”

Ji Chen: "......"

He cried with a sad face and nodded heavily: "Yes, yes, everything you say is right." ”

Jiang Qing just wanted Ji Chen to have a long memory, and didn't want to do anything with Ji Chen. As for this little episode, it should be a little fun on this boring road.

......

After the storm, Xue Mei and her party found that they had lost contact with Jiang Qing and had no intention of looking for her and Ji Chen.

For Xue Mei, the manpower she brought this time was enough to deal with any unexpected situation. So Jiang Qing is not in this team, it doesn't matter at all.

She quickly reorganized her morale and calmed people's hearts, and then continued to embark on the journey to find Shahailan.

Regarding Shahailan Country, the alliance side did not provide any information except for the route. He didn't even mention what period Shahailan belonged to and what was in it.

And exploring this place is purely accidental.

There are good treasure-hunters in the Alliance, and after discovering such a place, they reported it to the Alliance, and after the Alliance sent someone to probe, it was determined that there was a strange energy in it.

This strange energy was diametrically opposed to the energy emanating from Jiang Qing's magic stone fragments, furious, strong, and with an aura of destruction and destruction. The first time the people of the alliance had a bad relationship with Black Rose was because of the Black Magic Stone.

After such a long time, the Alliance originally wanted to lock down this area, but the last mutiny within the Alliance made them change their minds.

If the Black Magic Stone is not taken out, it is difficult to ensure that the Black Rose thief's heart will not die, and the alliance is already on the verge of life and death with the Black Rose, this Black Magic Stone, the alliance is bound to win.

The sun was poisonous and the rays were blazing, and the temperature of the sand quickly climbed and it was scorching.

After a morning of driving, Xue Mei and his party were already tired, in front of them was Sha Hailan Kingdom, in order to be able to deal with any sudden situation in the best state, Xue Mei ordered everyone to rest in place for fifteen minutes.

Fortunately, there are dilapidated ancient villages next to it, although they are all ruined and broken, but they are always a shady place to stay.

So, the group rested here for a while.

The other side.

The bad weather in the desert makes people almost faint. Jiang Qing checked the distance between herself and Xue Mei and the others, the distance was not very far, and the other party seemed to have stopped, she also wanted to find a place to rest with Ji Chen.

Ji Chen glanced at the boundless desert, pursed his chapped lips, and said with a wry smile, "Eldest sister, where are we going to rest?"

There was not even a stone to be seen except sand and sand all around. Jiang Qing frowned and continued to walk forward.

Crossing the sand slope in front, she suddenly saw an oasis, turned her head and shouted at Ji Chen: "Ji Chen, there is water ahead, hurry!"

Jiang Qing rode a camel and ran fast, Ji Chen followed, and when he saw that oasis, he felt very unreal in his heart.

He saw Jiang Qing desperately running over there, and shouted urgently: "Don't be impulsive, it may be a mirage!"

"What is a mirage?" Jiang Qing forcibly stopped and looked at Ji Chen with a puzzled expression.

Ji Chen was about to explain, when he suddenly saw that there seemed to be a wild camel drinking water next to the oasis, and he shouted wildly over there: "Jiang Qing, wild camel! Hurry up, catch it!"

Jiang Qing followed the direction that Ji Chen pointed out, where were the wild camels. But Ji Chen had already run, and he couldn't hear what she said at all.

"Hell, what a mirage!" Jiang Qing cursed in a low voice.

However, this oasis is real, just the camel......

According to Ji Chen, the camel was white, but Jiang Qing really didn't see it.

The white camel? Ji Chen may be hallucinating.

The two of them washed their faces comfortably in this oasis, and Jiang Qing let out a long breath.

There was a wind blowing, neither dry nor dry, Jiang Qing closed her eyes and enjoyed the beauty of this moment.

She sensed the whereabouts of Xue Mei and the others again, and found that they continued on their way. So she urged Ji Chen loudly, it was time for them to set off.

The country of Shahailan is close at hand.

Jiang Qing looked at the dilapidated building standing in the wind and sand, and couldn't imagine where this huge stone pillar and altar came from.

Moreover, to her shock, although this kind of altar had been eroded by the years and the lines had been blurred, Jiang Qing still found a few ancient characters from it.

This font is exactly the same as the text in her hometown!

At that moment, Jiang Qing's heart fluctuated, what did the words from her hometown mean when they appeared in such a place?

Ji Chen patted Jiang Qing's shoulder with his hand and said, "What are you looking at, so engrossed?"

Jiang Qing came back to her senses and didn't tell Ji Chen about the text. These secrets, before she has a clue, it is better to keep quiet.

It's just that Jiang Qing also secretly planted a seed in her heart. Since the Black Magic Stone appears here, and Hei Mei is an insider, not necessarily, Hei Mei really has some secrets that even she doesn't know.

It seems that the next time I see Hei Rose, I will have to find a chance to ask.

Ji Chen said: "We've been looking for so long, and we haven't found the entrance to this Shahailan country, could it be that we are not here?"

Jiang Qing shook her head and said, "The entrance is here, you can't see it, because this entrance is not on the ground, but underground." ”

"Underground?" Ji Chen frowned, "Then how do we go down?"

"Let's look for it, there should be a mechanism or something. Jiang Qing said uncertainly.

The two groped for a long time, but they didn't find a way down, Ji Chen thought for a while and asked, "Why don't we use the magic scroll to go down?"

"Okay, we can't delay any longer. Jiang Qing nodded.

......

There is a wind and sand on the ground, but there is something else underground.

When Jiang Qing and Ji Chen used the magic scroll to come down, they were instantly shocked when they saw the scene in front of them.

The ancient bronze gates, as if they had come through eternity, stood in front of these two huge bronze gates, they seemed so small.

The reliefs on the bronze doors, even after the vicissitudes of life, are still well preserved and lifelike. Before Ji Chen had time to marvel, Jiang Qing pulled his clothes and whispered, "Don't make a sound, Xue Mei and the others should be inside." ”

Ji Chen glanced at the hidden door and nodded quietly.

Jiang Qing was in front, and after Ji Chen broke off, the two walked in quietly.

Behind the gate is a long and narrow passage, the lights on both sides of the passage have been lit, Jiang Qing has been very careful with every step, not only to guard against Xue Mei and her party, but also to beware of possible changes in it.

Walking out of the passage, they were greeted by a long wooden bridge.

Jiang Qing leaned forward and tried the iron cable, there should be no problem.

She took a step forward, finally able to see her surroundings clearly.

The iron cable connected to a large stone pillar in the middle of the lake in front of it, and on top of the stone pillar were iron cables from all directions, each corresponding to an entrance.

Jiang Qing calculated, excluding the hole she was currently standing at, there were still seven in total.

That is, walking up to the stone pillar and waiting for her choice, there will be seven.

She was wondering, there are ten people in Xue Mei's group, will they go separately?

She didn't think that among these seven choices, Snow Charm would be able to find the path where the Black Magic Stone was hidden.

Her gaze gradually moved downward, under the wooden bridge......

Under the wooden bridge is a lake, and the huge stone pillar is erected right in the middle of the lake. The water in the lake is muddy and has a salty smell.

Jiang Qing turned her head and explained to Ji Chen: "You have also seen that there are seven choices waiting for us, as for how to choose, wait until we go up to the stone pillar." ”

Ji Chen also had this plan, so the two stepped on the plank and began to move forward.

In the process of moving forward, Jiang Qing found that the wooden planks under his feet, because of the changes of time, could faintly show traces of decay.

She told Ji Chen to hold on to the iron rope, if he accidentally fell, something might happen.

Ji Chen grabbed the iron cable, but at this moment, the plank under his feet couldn't bear his weight, broke off with a "snap", and fell straight into the lake.

Ji Chen clutched the iron rope desperately, and the corner of his eye happened to catch a glimpse of the falling plank.

A strange scene happened.

This plank did not float on the surface of the water according to common sense, but sank directly to the bottom......

Ji Chen felt uneasy in his heart and wanted to catch up with Jiang Qing's footsteps, but when he stepped on another plank, that plank also broke.

Because he stepped on it too quickly, his feet were completely suspended in the air, and Ji Chen almost didn't grasp the iron rope.

Jiang Qing saw Ji Chen's danger and shouted, "Don't be reckless, come slowly!"
