The buildings of the imperial capital are made of stone bricks with large gaps, and the square style is very different from the buildings of the three oasis countries, and each building can be seen with green climbing vines.

Three figures, coming out of the outermost two-story stone brick house, were three middle-aged men in their forties and fifties, with thick beards and simple clothing made of animal skins, each holding a weapon.

There was a rattan bow, a stone spear, and a rusty long knife.

"It's not easy, posterity, I haven't seen a newcomer who can pass through the 'Death Passage' for more than ten years. The middle-aged man with the bow looked at Luo and sighed, "It's a pity, as soon as you come in, don't think about going out again." ”

As he spoke, his eyes leaned towards Ge'er and Yaya in the team, and the eyes were not lustful, but more like looking at the eyes of the future daughter-in-law.

Ge'er and Yaya were inevitably displeased when they were stared at by this man.

"What do you mean?" Ali suppressed the shock in his heart, took a step forward, and stood in front of the maid, looking at the three strangers who suddenly appeared.

Luo's gaze looked past the three of them to the adjoining three-story houses a hundred meters away.

The three people with weapons did not answer Ali, and when they noticed Luo's action of staring at a certain position, they all stared at Luo, and the weapons in their hands subconsciously raised a little, which was a more convenient posture for attacking.

"It's not very well hidden. Facing the prickly gazes of the three people, Luo said calmly.

The man with the bow suddenly laughed a few times, raised his hand and waved, and said, "You have been discovered by this little baby, come out." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the people of the Eagle Regiment saw more than 20 people with bows and arrows suddenly appear on the house a hundred meters away, their faces changed, and they raised their weapons together.

"Don't be nervous, we're still welcome newcomers, but basic checks are necessary. The man with the bow said lightly, "Believe us, and come along." ”

After saying that, he ignored the cold weapon in front of him, simply turned around, and walked towards the complex, while the two accompanying people looked at them silently, and then followed the man with the bow.

At the same time, the twenty or so archers who had ambushed the house hid in the shadows.

The people of the Eagle Regiment did not follow immediately, and Luo Yi looked at the backs of the three people, with doubts in his eyes.

At this time, William suddenly followed without saying a word, and the sadness on his face before turned into a forbearant expectation at this time.

Law suddenly understood what William was expecting, according to the man with the bow, the living people here seemed to be adventurers who had come in from outside, but for some reason, they couldn't leave here.

Sandstorms?

Since you can come in, there is no reason why you can't get out, so what is the reason that prompts the man with the bow to say the words "don't want to go out again"?

Is it the prairie?

Luo didn't stop William, and looked back at the grassland two hundred meters away, and could see a lot of scattered bones, but they came all the way, there were no natural traps, and there were no dangerous creatures.

If you want to figure out something, you can only keep up with this group of people living in the ancient city.

"Buhara, keep up. ”

Luo thought about it and quickly followed.

Hearing this, Buhara took out a palm-sized roasted spider from the bag he was carrying, and followed Luo while eating.

When the team has already marched here, there is no need to act together.

Ali took a deep breath, they arrived at their destination, but the sudden appearance of the person disrupted their original goal, whether it was seeking wealth or fame, it was not easy to do at this time.

"Keep up. ”

After a moment of silence, Ali said.

The crowd followed behind the three middle-aged men and walked through the buildings.

On the way, Luo noticed that there were people hiding in the shadow of the building at intervals, not because they were so cautious, but because they were on guard.

They followed the three men for about twenty minutes, and finally stopped at a human settlement.

There are no climbing vines outside the houses here, a group of people are busy with the work at hand, and there are even children chasing and playing, just like the scene of life in a village.

The Eagle Regiment was shocked by the scene in front of them, and all kinds of questions popped out of their heads.

Over here... Is it really the rumored thousand-year-old imperial capital?

When a few playful children saw the outsiders, they immediately turned a corner, crowded around, and looked at them with curious eyes.

The adults also stopped what they were doing, got up one after another, and leaned over to them.

"Newcomer?"

People looked at the newcomers, and someone asked.

"Yes, I just came in today, is Sister Sa Ling at home?" asked the man with the bow.

The person who asked out loud just now replied, "No, I'm going to the main city again." ”

"Then which of you is going to call back the head of Sister Sa Ling. The man with the bow looked at the crowd that was coming.

"Why don't you let me go?" said Law suddenly.

The man with the bow turned his gaze and looked at Luo silently, with a faint edge in his eyes, his tone became cold, and he asked, "Tell me your motive for volunteering." ”

"I know a woman named Saling, although I don't rule out the possibility of having the same name. Luo said calmly.

Luo was surprised to hear the man with the bow mention of Saling, but not too surprised, and when he saw a living person, he expected this possibility.

William's mood changed significantly when he saw the living people, and he thought that he had more expectations in his heart, after all, he had come to the forbidden area to bring back a skeleton that could be found, but now, the person who was supposed to be a skeleton might still be alive.

The man with the bow looked at Luo coldly, judging by his age, this was the biggest failure, but he didn't debunk it in person, but just said lightly: "Outsiders must have the consciousness of outsiders." ”

After saying that, he asked a person to set off to the main city and called Sa Ling back.

Before calling Sa Ling back, the man with the bow asked Luo and his party to sit down on a stone chair, and also served tea.

Four children of six or seven years old circled around Luo and them, their big eyes sparkling and revealing undisguised curiosity.

William stared down at the tea and was silent, seeming a little restless.

Luo looked at him, didn't ask, and beckoned to Buhara to bring the package full of worm pots.

Bukhara unloaded the package from his body and handed it to Law.

Law took the package, took out a few cooked bugs from it, and handed it to the children.

The man with the bow stood aside, first looking at Buhara, who was holding a roasted worm and eating it with relish, but did not dissuade the children from taking what was given by outsiders.

The children were not afraid at all when they saw the insects, their noses twitched, and after smelling the aroma, they were not afraid of life, so they took the insects and ran away.

Luo smiled and looked at the children who ran away, and then observed the situation in the residence, plus the guards noticed along the way, there were about three hundred and fifty people here, and only three or four women were seen.

After about 20 minutes, the child who had just run away came running over crying.

One of the watermelon-headed boys hugged the thigh of the man with the bow and cried, "Dad, the old witch Saling has robbed me of my delicious food again!"

The corners of the man's mouth twitched slightly, with a helpless expression, he touched the boy's head, then looked at the figure coming from not far away, and said with a wry smile: "Eldest sister, why are you robbing the child of food again." ”

"To protect their teeth. Sa Ling, who came over, replied with righteous words, and then took a big bite on the spider in her hand, and looked very heroic.
