Journey, up! Chapter 164: Encountering the Dead
The griffon spread its wings and flew high in the sky.
On the broad back of the bird, Duan Mo exhaled deeply, and was finally able to leave, Wei Ning on the side smiled strangely, and stretched out his thumb to Duan Mo: "Even the first beauty of this empire can be taken down by you, I will take it." ”
Duan Mo rolled his eyes, sat down, took off the black shirt on his body, took out another piece from the storage bracelet and put it on, and said angrily: "Senior brother, I didn't find out that you had such gossip before." ”
Wei Ning smiled but did not speak.
"The front is a desert, and the corpse plague has been fierce recently, so let's be careful."
Duan Mo was helpless, and immediately changed the topic and said in a deep voice.
Wei Ning nodded slightly, his face was slightly solemn: "After the desert is the Aquila Empire, Starfall and Aquila are feuds, if we expose our identities in the Aquila Empire, it will be very troublesome and troublesome, so remember, we must not stay in the Aquila." ”
"...... of the Aquila Empire"
Duan Mo muttered a sentence and nodded slowly.
"At the speed of the griffon, we should be able to cross the desert by the evening, and then we will see what the weather is like, and if it is okay, we will travel overnight, and if not, we will go to the Aquila border city to find a place to rest for a while."
Duan Mo pondered for a while.
Wei Ning had no opinion, and the griffin beast sped in the sky, quickly heading ahead.
The desert soon appeared in the sight of the two, because of the relationship between the corpse plague, so fierce battles could be seen everywhere, the griffin beast flashed away in the sky, and did not go to the several cities occupied by the corpse plague, but flew a little more, bypassing those cities, so when Duan Mo and the two arrived at the border of the sky eagle, it was already night.
In a cool breeze, the griffon slowly descended from the sky and stopped in an open area thousands of kilometers outside the city.
"The weather doesn't look much better."
Duan Mo glanced up at the gloomy sky, the higher the air humidity became, looking at this, it should rain at night, the griffin beast was not unable to rush in the rain, but Duan Mo was not in a hurry, so there was no need to commit that kind of crime.
"Falcon City."
Wei Ning glanced at the big characters on the city gate, and immediately glanced at Duan Mo, the griffin beast vibrated its wings and left, and the two of them quietly went to the Falcon City in front, dodged the city guards on the city gate, and sneaked into the city.
Not long after they entered the city, a red shadow quietly appeared at the end of the desert in the distance, and the red shadow hesitated for a moment, then quickly departed and disappeared.
After Duan Mo and the others entered the city, they randomly found an ordinary inn to live in.
"It's close to the desert, so it's also tainted with some habits there, so we have to be careful."
Duan Mo closed the door, leaned against the door, and said in a deep voice to Wei Ning.
Killing people and stealing goods is not only done in the desert, and the shops that can be opened on this kind of border will not be clean.
Wei Ning was not a fledgling new disciple either, nodded slightly, rested on the bed, and fell into a state of false sleep, Duan Mo sat cross-legged on the chair, ready to spend the night meditating.
Midnight.
Suddenly there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the door, and a figure loomed by the window, and it didn't take long for a bamboo pipe to pierce the window paper and reach in.
Wei Ning, who was leaning on the bed, flicked his fingers, and a small spiritual power rushed out, directly cutting off the bamboo pipe that stretched in, and the people outside the door were silent for a moment, and then the sound of broken footsteps sounded, and they all left.
Duan Mo, who was in a meditative state, opened his eyes slightly, glanced outside the door, and then continued to close his eyes, his inferior skills were unbearable.
————
There was a man in black standing beside a wide flowing river, and on the river opposite him, there was a huge and terrifying crocodile, and on the top of the crocodile's head stood a woman with a scarred face and an extremely terrifying appearance.
Qinghuang River, red eyebrows.
"I didn't expect to meet third-level ghosts here, you see, we are actually a family."
The man in black raised his head slightly, revealing a face with a trace of red hair in his pores, and the depths of his eyes were like blooming red flowers.
The red eyebrows, who were holding some inferior pieces of jade in her hand, looked at the man in black indifferently, and a trace of anger emanated from her.
"Don't worry, I'm not hostile to you, your existence is special, so I'm interested in you, so I want you to join our side, I can give you what you want."
Li Bai smiled faintly, and immediately glanced at the red shadow that was flying in the distance, and continued: "You think about it, I'll go first, if you figure it out, you can come to me at any time." ”
The crocodile sank slowly, and the red-eyed body sank under the water.
Li Bai stepped on the moonlight and left the river, the red shadow stopped beside him, and he didn't know what to say, Li Bai nodded slightly after listening, and the red hair in his eyes was much more lush.
"If you leave, you can leave. Big brother hasn't shown up yet, and we can't deal with that old guy. ”
Li Bai looked up at the sky, groaned for a while, and then suddenly said: "By the way, I remember that a little girl he once knew seemed to have died because of raising a little ghost." ”
The red-haired monster paused, then nodded, its hair wriggling like a clump of red aquatic plants.
"Go and surprise that kid."
Li Bai smiled, his eyes looked to the east, his gaze became deeper, and his pupils reflected the two new tombs on the hillside outside the eastern giant elephant city, and the string of rosewood Buddhist beads buried in the soil.
Vaguely, it seemed that a group of red-haired monsters had dug up a grave, carried out the half-dead girl buried inside, and escaped back into the darkness.
————
The next day, Duan Mo and the others packed up at dawn and prepared to get up and leave.
The two of them didn't pay attention to last night's episode, Duan Mo pushed open the door, turned his head to Wei Ning and said, "Senior brother, let's go." ”
Wei Ning nodded and followed.
"Crunch ......"
The door opposite Duan Mo also opened at this moment, and a young man in a wheelchair appeared in Duan Mo's sight.
The young man was stunned, and then smiled at Duan Mo, Duan Mo politely smiled in return, and then the young man was pushed downstairs by an ordinary-looking young woman behind him, who was not very good-looking, and passed by Duan Mo.
Duan Momu sent the two downstairs, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Wei Ning saw that Duan Mo had been watching the two of them, and couldn't help but ask.
"He has two pupils."
Duan Mo recalled the young man's eyes he had just seen and said slowly.
"Oh? Heavy pupils? ”
Wei Ning was also surprised, it was the first time he had encountered this situation, and said: "It is rumored that a person with heavy pupils can see through the falsehood, and it is a magical abnormality. ”
"That guy is ordinary except for the heavy pupils, and the young woman pushing the wheelchair behind him is not ordinary except for the fact that she looks ordinary."
Duan Mo said softly: "The world is so big, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." ”
"Okay, don't sigh, hurry up, we have to pass through the Sky Eagle Empire, it will take at least half a month, and Tongtian Mountain is at the junction of the Cangshui Empire and the Quliu Kingdom, we have to get there, it will take ten days, if we delay on the road for a while, a month seems to be very relaxed, but in fact, it is quite urgent."
Wei Ning stepped down the stairs, and when he passed by the counter, he glanced at the shopkeeper inside, who was smiling and seemed to have nothing happened.
The two left Falcon City, Wei Ning took out a whistle, blew it and waited, and not long after, the griffin beast rode the wind and landed in front of the two.
Duan Mo and Wei Ning jumped onto the back of the griffin beast and set off again.
In the city below them, in an elegant tea room, a young man in a wheelchair sipped tea, his fingers unconsciously sketching on the table, and faintly seemed to have a strange fluctuation spreading.
The young woman behind him took the paper handed by the outsider, looked at the young man after a glance, and said in a deep voice, "Ye Tianlong is dead." ”
"Dead? Who did this to you? ”
The young man was stunned, and then narrowed his eyes, and the double pupils changed color at this moment, becoming a pair of cyan heavy pupils.
The young woman replied: "There was a rat tide on Starfall's side, and Ye Tianlong fought against the rat tide for the Heavenly Firm, and died in the rat tide, but ...... He died for some reason. ”
"He's dead too?"
The young man's fingers tapped on the tabletop, and after a while, he said slowly: "I didn't expect to come all the way but run in vain." ”
The young man slowly pushed the wheelchair and came to the window, looked in the direction of the Starfall Empire, and said slowly: "Forget it, go back, the sect competition is about to start, this time there are many strong enemies, so you can't be careless." ”
The young woman was silent.
————
Four days of speeding up.
Even with the griffin beast, it was finally exhausted, and Duan Mo, who had been sitting on the back of the bird for four days, chose to land and rest for the night, there was no city below, it was a vast prairie.
The Sunset Grassland, even in the Aquila Empire, is famous, in which all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts emerge in an endless stream, and all kinds of people are mixed, including rogue bandits, grass herding clans, and mercenary groups.
The two picked a small hillside and fell, the griffin beast spread its wings and left, looking for a place to rest, Wei Ning lay on the lush grass, and exhaled deeply, these four days of travel are indeed a little tiring.
Duan Mo was responsible for vigilance and flight during the day, while Wei Ning was responsible for taking turns on duty at night.
"You have a good rest first, and I'll call you in the evening."
Duan Mo jumped onto a low tree next to him and leaned against the trunk, alert to everything that was calm around him.
This sunset grassland is terrifying and boundless.
Duan Mo, who had been slightly closed, frowned slightly, opened his eyes, his dark eyes looked ahead, there were some disordered spiritual power fluctuations spreading in front of him, he stood up, a black flame flashed in his eyes, and looked ahead.
A moment later, at the end of the distance, a man in black came quickly, and behind him, there were more than a dozen people, all dressed in the same costume, as if they were chasing and killing the man in black in front.
The breath in Duan Mo's body spread, and the breath of the Spirit Infant Realm made the more than ten people who came this way pause slightly, and the black-clothed man in front of him also stopped slightly, and immediately changed his direction and fled in another direction.
Startling these people, Duan Mo just wanted to retract his mind, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the man in black, and his eyes suddenly widened.
How could it be him, old friend.
In troubled times, the king is defeated, and the man is heroic.
