Chapter Twenty-Eight: Entering the Ancestral Capital

Walking through the stone forest, it is like an ancient city without a roof, full of collapsed eaves and broken walls, and there is no edge in sight, Mu Ze looked at the jagged remnants of the rocks, and understood what Jiuqing said, the traces of the collapse around this capital city are out of order, if you are in it, I am afraid it will be easy to lose your direction. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info such a large area, once lost, I am afraid that ten days and half a month may not be able to come out, plus the desert walking, the most prone to water shortage, ordinary places without water can survive three days, in this kind of place, water loss is faster, one day will be fatal. Look at Jiuqing from time to time to look at the water marks on the surface, no wonder he said that today is the best time, this heavy rain has given everyone a wire to find the direction, although the strong water absorption force of the sand absorbs the water on the surface, but the traces of the water flow are still there, the terrain in the direction of the exit should be lower than this side, and it is indeed easy to find the outlet along the water flow.

The initial physical strength was the best, Jiuqing walked very fast, and from time to time circled a line on the ground to let everyone take a detour. Suddenly, there was an exclamation from behind, and everyone turned around, exclaiming that it was obviously nearby, but there was no figure in sight at all. Everyone quickly counted the number of people, and Dabuyi's subordinate Changqing said in surprise

"Ah Xiu is gone!"

Jiuqing asked everyone not to make a sound, listened carefully to the source of the sound, and quickly locked a direction and arranged

"Beicheng guards them, come two people and I to find Ah Xiu."

As he spoke, he took the lead around a rock wall, and Mu Ze and Han Ling followed Jiuqing. Obviously, the sound was very close, but they took a long detour to see Ah Xiu who was stuck in the quicksand. The quicksand has not reached Ah Xiu's chest, he is also an alert person, and he did not struggle wildly, so he did not completely fall into the quicksand, and when he saw Jiuqing, he shook his head at him

"Ninth Master, leave me alone, the quicksand here is too powerful to be saved, you take the fourth prince and leave quickly!"

No wonder he only heard a few brief cries for help, and then never heard his voice again, he knew that the quicksand was so powerful, and it only took a moment to fall into such a depth, so he gave up survival. Jiuqing didn't pay attention to it, took off the tent leather on his body, and spread it on the surface of the quicksand.

"Bring me the belt."

Jiuqing turned around and said to Mu Ze and the two, Mu Ze and Han Ling untied their belts without hesitation, saw Jiuqing form a line, tied one end to his wrist, and handed the other end to Mu Ze, without saying anything, he leaned over and lay on the tiled leather, the leather was hard, carrying Jiuqing, and it actually floated steadily on the surface of the quicksand without sinking. Jiuqing approached Ah Xiu little by little, the quicksand had already overflowed Ah Xiu's neck, fortunately his hand was outside the quicksand, Jiuqing moved to his side, grabbed his hand, and with a little force, Ah Xiu was brought out a little, but Jiuqing sank into the quicksand a little. Jiuqing shook his body, let the leather continue to float flat on the surface of the quicksand, and then pulled Ah Xiu hard, so that it was about half a pillar of incense, plus Mu Ze used a little force from time to time to bring them to the edge, and after half an hour, he finally dragged Ah Xiu out of the quicksand pit.

Jiuqing patted the mud and sand on his body, and when Ah Xiu appeared in the crowd, everyone's anxious expressions would be replaced by joy, and Ah Xiu walked in front of Da Buyi in shame

"Taiji, I'm sorry to affect everyone."

Dabb smiled and patted him on the shoulder

"You almost lost your life in peeing, it's really unprecedented, just come back!"

Ah Xiu looked at the four princes gratefully, and the group of brothers surrounding him behind him, everything was silent.

"Thank you Ninth Master for rescuing Ah Xiu!"

As soon as Dabu stepped forward to salute Jiuqing, he didn't expect Jiuqing to rescue the subordinates who had fallen behind, and Jiuqing smiled and helped him

"No need, Jiuqing took this dart, so naturally he wanted to ensure that your people arrived safely. Hurry up, the traces are almost gone. ”

As soon as Dabu knew that now was not the time to say thanks, he asked his subordinates to cheer up, not to fall behind again, and followed Jiuqing to continue the rapid march. The desert sun is very scorching, but for more than an hour, most of the traces on the ground have disappeared, the sand and gravel have become dry and abnormal, and the people next to him can't see the traces of rain at all.

Another more than an hour has passed, the sun has been tilted to the west, and the road is obviously different from the rocks, indicating that everyone has not walked around in circles, but the front is still a remnant rock that cannot be seen at a glance, and the more you walk, the heavier your heart becomes, and your morale is inevitably a little low. Jiuqing let everyone rest in place, and he groped for something on the rock wall from time to time.

"Drink some water."

Mu Ze walked up to Jiuqing and handed him a kettle, Jiuqing took it and took a sip.

"The landscape here has changed, if it was before, it should have reached the exit, but now it will take at least half an hour."

Mu Ze saw a dilapidated Liuling mark rubbed on his fingers, presumably this was the trace left by him when he came here before, this trip down, there was no danger, it must be beneficial to the traces he had left, how old he was at that time... There was a dull pain in his heart that filled his heart, and he wanted to pretend to be nothing, patted Jiuqing's shoulder, and comforted

"It's okay, I've come all the way, it's not bad."

Jiuqing shook his head, his expression a little solemn

"You don't know the situation here, originally all the way here, although there are some deviations from what I expected, but these deviations are within a controllable range, and I can avoid them one by one, and now the distance is half an hour, I'm afraid there are dangerous things waiting for us behind that I can't speculate."

Mu Ze knew that Jiuqing said that it was a big risk, everything here was weird, if it wasn't for Jiuqing to lead the way, they would probably feel the same everywhere they went, and there was no sense of direction at all.

"Let's go slower in a moment, be careful."

Jiuqing shook his head again

"No, we're going to hurry! You take Mu Yu, let's go! ”

When he set off, Jiuqing quickened his pace and walked forward, and poisonous snakes and poisonous scorpions began to burst out from time to time at the intersection, he had seen such a big battle before, and everyone solved it calmly, and the blood soaked the ground, but there was no smell of blood, Jiuqing's brows furrowed. Gradually, the remnants of the surrounding rocks became scarce, and the same stone pillar forest appeared as when they came, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and I don't know who cheered

"Finally out of this hellish place!"

The others were also infected by the cheer and laughed loudly.

"Don't make a sound!"

Jiuqing exclaimed, everyone was a little stunned, there was a moment of silence, the sand under his feet suddenly squirmed, and the surrounding brown rock walls also moved, and under closer inspection, it turned out to be vipers of the same color as the sand and soil of the rock wall, they slowly opened their eyes, as if they were very dissatisfied with these alien creatures that invaded their territory.

Many people have seen the power of poisonous snakes, but such a huge viper has never seen it, let alone more than one or two. Jiuqing quickly summoned everyone over and whispered

"Try not to make too much movement, vipers have limited eyesight, but they are very sensitive to movement, we move slowly outside, pay attention to our feet, vipers are often accompanied by quicksand."
