The sunset shines obliquely,

Look at the smoke.

Traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers.

The heart is cold,

Autumn is withering.

The black magpie returns early,

Flowing water loves the bridge.

How much nostalgia does it touch?

Tianya Road,

Urging people to get old.

--------- "Frosty Dawn Corner: Homesickness"

As soon as Tie Chao's words fell, he immediately attracted thunderous applause, and the enthusiasm far exceeded the scene just now.

Popa lowered his head and muttered, "I am really ashamed of what you say. ”

Duan Wushuang smiled and said, "What do you have to be ashamed of?!"

Popa sighed in a low voice: "I don't know that only my family has received the invitation, but I am willing to give up the family's invitation to the competition, I want to be by everyone's side, everyone is a group, we should advance and retreat together." ”

Duan Wushuang smiled and said, "Are you stupid, how can you give up the things you get with your strength? Besides, what can happen if you don't participate in that broken competition?!"

Brother Scar also echoed: "That's it, isn't it just a broken game, Scar is really not rare!"

Luo Changfeng said: "As a Battlestar Fighter, since we absorbed the first beast core, we have embarked on a path that can only move forward, not retreat. ”

Shi Jiu nodded and said: "Everyone's fate has been closely linked to the battle, I will only meet the challenge, not run away from the challenge, participating in the competition is just a step in our growth process, or a cornerstone of discovering new opportunities." ”

Luo Changfeng followed Shi Jiu's words and said, "So, even if I don't have the qualifications to be invited by the royal family, I have to fight for it, not to mention that I am still an official student of the Dur Battle Star Academy!"

Luo Changfeng's words were full of enthusiasm and gearing up.

Tie Chao said: "If you all think so, I will return to the royal family now, because we all have a lot of time on vacation, and you should not go back to the Battlestar Academy for the time being, and accompany me into the royal family, even if you encourage me and spur me motivated!"

Shi Jiu raised his hand and said, "I have no opinion!"

Duan Wushuang looked at everyone with a probe and exclaimed, "In this case, we can go into the palace for a walk?"

Tie Chao nodded affirmatively, and Duan Wushuang happily jumped up more than three feet high.

Shi Jiu said: "We have all gained a lot from this hunt, and everyone's combat power has been greatly improved, so it is a good opportunity to try our skills." ”

"So as a little prince, I invite everyone to my second prince's mansion, hoping that everyone will give me a thin noodle!" Tie Chao said.

The others all raised their arms in unison, except for Popa, who did not raise his hand, and said softly, "I have already qualified for the competition, so don't mess with you,"

Ji Yanan said with a smile: "How can it be troublesome, you are the first to have the qualification to participate in the invitational tournament anyway, there is no need to return to the East China Sea early, as for the beast core you want to obtain, returning to the territory of your hometown is not an easy and pleasant trivial matter!"

Duan Wushuang also immediately said: "That's it, that's it." We are originally a team, even if we enter the palace, we are still the best overall, aren't we Iron Brother?"

Tie Chao smiled: "No problem, of course, the more people, the better, good wine and good food are enough, and the little fat man can also take a good rest." ”

Everyone discussed it and immediately got up and left Sunset Valley.

The journey out of Sunset Valley was much easier than when they came in, and time seemed to fly by, and in a blink of an eye, they had reached the exit of Sunset Valley.

But here the doors are closed, and there is silence all around.

Tie Chao slapped the door for a while, but no one answered, so everyone took turns beating hard, but there was still no movement, and Tie Chao couldn't help but be a little anxious.

He said angrily: Where are the guards guarding the door? Where is Uncle Ma?

Tie Chao took out the signal canister from his arms and muttered: "Every time I enter Sunset Valley, Uncle Ma asks me to take this signal canister, I have never used it in the past, but I didn't expect to use this thing when I arrived at the gate today, I really don't understand what these guards are doing?"

As Tie Chao spoke, he reached out and pulled out the lead, and with a sharp hiss, the signal tube emitted a bright red light that shot straight into the sky.

The signal tube was released and waited for a long time for a stick of incense, but there was still no news from him, and Brother Scar also said a little impatiently: "Those guards are either sleeping or drinking together, who can take care of your signal canister?"

Without waiting for everyone to react, Brother Scar had already climbed over the gate with agility, jumped to the other side with a whoosh, he removed the latch, and let everyone leave Sunset Valley.

Duan Wushuang approached Shi Jiu's side and said, "Brother Jiu, how come I have an ominous premonition?"

Shi Jiu said: "Don't talk nonsense, you are not your legendary brother Tianji, at a young age, where did you get a premonition!"

But the facts in front of him once again proved that Duan Wushuang's premonition was correct.

First of all, everyone saw that it was a former stable, but a few days ago, the war horse that was still a heroic horse turned into a few shriveled corpse sacs.

Behind the stable is a row of dormitories where Ma Rulong and the guards rest, all the dormitory doors and windows are closed intact, but Tie Chao and every room they entered were stunned by the scene inside, including Ma Rulong, all the personnel were like war horses in the stables, maintaining their previous state, but they all became shriveled human corpses.

Tie Chao was anxious, and he said distressedly: "We have only been in Sunset Valley for a few days, how did such an incredible thing happen? Brother Tu, you are well-informed, can you see what is happening?"

Tu Xiaorui shook his head, the scene in front of him was both mysterious and terrifying, his mind was blank, and he was really confused.

Tie Chao turned to ask Shi Jiu, "Brother Shi Jiu, what do you think?"

Shi Jiu sighed and said, "If it was a spirit beast attack, these guards would not have died in such an unsuspecting instant, let me say it, Brother Tie, don't be in a hurry." ”

Tie Chao frowned and said, "It's okay, let's say it, Brother Shi Jiu!"

Shi Jiu said: "The tragedy here is obviously deliberately caused by someone, and this point in time is also the time when you entered the Sunset Valley to hunt spirit beasts, there is no such coincidence in the world, in other words, the death of these people is not an accident, if I guess correctly, they all died because of you." ”

Tie Chao clenched his fists, his teeth creaking.

Dongxue nodded and said, "That's right, I think so too." ”

"Hmph, before you enter the royal family, you have already seen the sinister nature of the royal family, no wonder Brother Tie hates the life of the royal family so much!" Brother Scar said angrily: "I advise Brother Tie, or for what you said just now, for the royal family's going, let's think about it again." ”
