Chapter 397: An Unexpected Scene
Those who say that they are plants are more like things made of many slender spikes that are assembled irregularly, and when they dance in the air, they contain a huge range, and if they are touched slightly, they will be swept up and die.
Although the sharpness of the spikes can easily penetrate the human body, the hardness is not very good.
The Eagle Regiment swung their weapons and slashed off the main spiked torso, a viscous liquid pouring out of the torso and spilling onto the pile of bones.
Although more than thirty people died, the remaining people had stabilized their positions and resisted the attack of the spiked plants, and there would be no more victims.
Luo and a few people reached out to help, and soon cut off all these moving plant bodies.
At this time, the people of the Eagle Regiment had literally lost half of their personnel, which was what happened in the minutes after Luo dissuaded them, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a step of hell.
There are so many hidden beings here that are more dangerous than the desert, and those who don't know anything about this place have no idea that something will attack them in the next second.
Looking at the corpse that was pierced by the spikes, a dark cloud hung over the hearts of the Eagle Regiment and the others.
The pile of bones on the ground is a warning to those who come after them, and now, those who ignore the warnings are slowly following in the footsteps of the former.
"Do you want to keep going?"
In the silence, a man said in a trembling voice.
Rather than these strange and dangerous things, the people of the Eagle Regiment want the people they face to be fierce sand pirates.
"Let's go!"
Ali gritted his teeth.
He finally came here, how can he give up and give up, he wants to unveil the thousand-year-old empire, and he wants to leave here safely with the treasures linked to the thousand-year-old empire!
This time, Luo just watched in silence and followed the team.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they want to walk towards the tigers, which is an act of chasing something in their hearts.
The team continued to go deeper, and encountered many deadly potential dangers one after another, although Luo was on the side, there were still people dying one after another, and when the exit finally appeared in front of them, there were only fifteen people left in the Eagle Regiment.
Passing through the mountain road, a large area of greenery is reflected in everyone's eyes.
The sky was still covered in black clouds, but the light was much brighter than outside, about the same as it was on a cloudy day.
An imperial capital surrounded by a valley sits on a large grassland, yes, a grassland!
Who would have thought that the valley would be a meadow?
Including Luo, everyone was stunned, and stood at the exit of the mountain road like that, silent for a long time.
The grass on the grassland was very low, almost to the foot and neck, and at a glance, there were several lakes and rocks standing, and there were many places that could be seen in a dazzling and miserable white, which were bones, both human and animal.
The bones are a warning, which shows that there is still a deadly danger under this calm grassland.
The people of the Eagle Regiment stopped silently, Luo's gaze crossed the bones on the grassland, and landed in the imperial capital far away, faintly visible is an ancient city entwined by many green rattans, even if you look at it from a distance, you can feel the heavy momentum.
He touched the phone in his pocket, feeling regretful, and at the same time thinking that this was a suitable environment for plants, even if the sun was not sufficient, and the grassland was full of life.
"Commander. ”
Someone was the first to come to his senses.
"Let's go. ”
Ali pursed his lips, clenched his spear, and led the rest of the people down the slope towards the grassland.
The thousand-year-old imperial capital is just around the corner, and only the last step is missing!
A little excitement diluted the sadness in the hearts of the Eagle Regiment and the others.
William held his sword in front of him, and his face seemed to have an indissoluble sadness, which looked extremely complicated.
Luo and Buharat walked side by side, following closely the group, and Ge'er unconsciously leaned towards Luo.
"What are you here for?" said Ge'er, in a voice so low that only Luo and Bukhara could hear.
On the way, Ge'er saw Luo's efforts to help the Eagle Regiment, and assumed that if Luo hadn't joined, Ge'er was sure that this trip would definitely end in failure, and he wouldn't even be able to touch the periphery of the forbidden area.
Ali must have been very aware of this in his heart, so from beginning to end, he never asked Luo about his intentions, and gave Luo unreserved trust, of course, this is also related to the reason why interests do not conflict.
"Unknown. Luo replied briefly.
Ge'er was silent when she heard this, although she knew that Luo was more like a food hunter, she still silently set Luo the identity of a relic hunter in her heart
There are many biological bones on the grassland, but along the way, the wind and waves are calm, and everyone is more vigilant as they see that they are getting closer and closer to the imperial capital.
500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters...
Walking out of the range of the grassland and coming to the flat land outside the imperial capital, the people of the Eagle Regiment breathed a sigh of relief, and looked back at the calm grassland, after all, what happened in the mountain road gave them too many psychological shadows.
The flat land is about 200 meters away from the imperial capital, which is quite empty, and the imperial capital is actually an ancient city without walls.
Just as everyone wanted to enter the imperial capital, which was entangled in many climbing vines, several figures suddenly appeared from the building complex, causing them to stop abruptly.
"Living?"
Luo Ning frowned and muttered to himself.
.....
There are four mountain roads in the valley, southeast, northwest and northwest, and Luo and his party take the east road, while the sand thieves who also came here through the sandstorm take the west road, which is the opposite direction to the eagle group.
Geralt may have had more accurate information than the Eagles, and when he arrived at the restricted area with five hundred captives, only three hundred were left, and these prisoners were used as cannon fodder for crossing the mountain paths.
The sand pirates also encountered deadly threats such as Tibetan flowers, black compound eye softness, and spiked plants encountered by the Eagle Regiment.
However, compared to the heavy losses of the Eagle Regiment, the sand thieves only lost less than ten people through the mountain road, which is pitifully small based on the base of more than 3,000 sand bandits.
They drove the captives covered with fire oil in groups, and when something happened, they fired rockets to ignite the oil on the prisoners' bodies to avoid danger.
In this way, the sand thieves stepped on the charred corpses amid the terrible screams of the captives, and survived the dangers hidden in the mountain pass.
It wasn't until she got out of the mountain trail that the number of captives she brought with her was reduced to fifty, and Miria was lucky to survive.
The sand thieves selected the captives to step on the thunder, and they all picked those who were like frosted eggplants to take the lead, so Miria, who was in better spirits and condition, was not taken by the turn and stayed at the end.
Passing through the valley, the sand pirates also saw grasslands that were alien to the desert, and even the largest oases were mixed with sand in the greenery.
Geralt's gaze fell on the imperial capital in the distance, and he let out a low laugh.
