Chapter Seventy-Five, The Strange Shadow of the Ancient City
Zhou Ling and the demon duo and the golden spirit rabbit also came out to help, before the dry bone desert sky was completely dark, finally cleared out a few square inches of land, although it was only a dozen meters long, but it was enough for them and a few camels to rest, said to be the ruins of the ancient city, but according to what she dug out were some corroded and weathered pillars, anyway, she couldn't figure out how this was a city before, Zhou Ling looked at the bleak light that was already the afterglow of the sunset, reflected on the few rotten pillars that had just been dug up, It's really indescribably bleak and bleak.
At this time, the demon saw that from the faint light, there were faint words on the several pillars in front of him, he hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, and picked out some powder on the pillars with his fingers, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.
And Zhou Ling laboriously bolted a few camels and fed some hay soaked in salt water, and then walked to the demon with a deep foot and a shallow foot, but saw the demon frowning at a few broken pillars, and asked curiously:
"Youyou, what are you looking at?"
"Ling, are you sure that the ancient city marked on the map given by the old man of Tianyan is here?"
"What's the matter, didn't you watch it too, it's here." Zhou Ling took out the map as he spoke, and the demon took it and took a look, it was right here, but then the demon's face sank,
"Ling, don't you think there's something strange here, look at these pillars."
Zhou Ling saw the solemn face of the demon, and had to observe the pillar in front of her, but this look made her feel weird, she was not good at geography when she went to school, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't have common sense, generally speaking, building a house or something will not use this kind of fine sand with high soil content, especially in the desert environment, when this ancient city was built, it must be that the grass and trees here are still abundant, so it is too strange that this kind of fine sand in the desert will appear in the construction of the city foundation, and what is even more strange is that the city is rotten, These fine sand pillars can still be preserved, I have to say that it is too abnormal, and the demon pointed to the words on those sand pillars at this time:
"These are a kind of hieroglyphs, which clearly express that these pillars were used to kill people in the past."
"Murder?"
Zhou Ling looked at the words that were distorted like earthworms, and she really couldn't think of the word killing, but in front of the demon, she didn't want to say that she couldn't understand anything, so she nodded and agreed: "Well, it does mean a little bit." ”
Seeing that Zhou Ling still looked like he didn't understand but pretended to understand, the demon couldn't help but be angry and funny, pinched the tip of Zhou Ling's nose and said:
"Ling, there's something wrong here, don't walk around for a while."
And Zhou Ling directly compared his middle finger to the demon with his hand:
"Demons, we're not here for archaeology, besides, even if these things have great cultural relics value now, who do you think will come here to study in the last days."
And the demon shook his head and said:
"I mean, there's something weird in this place, maybe it's dangerous, so we'd better be careful."
Zhou Ling nodded, but she didn't care very much, no matter what was wrong, it was just the living and the dead, she killed a lot of zombies, and she was afraid of a few broken pillars, but when that moment really came, Zhou Ling knew that everything was too simple for her to think.
The sky was already dark into the night, Zhou Ling and the demon had already built a bonfire, the demon had already fallen asleep, Zhou Ling was also a little sleepy, but she always felt that there were some ill-intentioned things around her staring at them, I don't know if she was dazzled, or a little jealous of this dry bone desert, she could always see some red shadows flashing by the pillars beside her, when she got up to check, those sand pillars were still black and reflected with speckled firelight, and a few camels tied to the sand pillars were no different, could it be that she was dazzled? Or the so-called phantom poison appeared again, but the old man of Tianyan clearly said that the desert phantom poison would not appear in the ruins of this ancient city, at this moment, a shadow with a flashing red light shuttled between those sand pillars again, and finally disappeared into the depths of the desert, Zhou Ling immediately got up, wanting to see what was going on,
"Ling, don't look at it."
The demon who was closing his eyes on the side suddenly opened his eyes, and said in a deep voice to Zhou Ling, who wanted to get up and look again,
"Youyou, you didn't sleep?"
The demon nodded and said:
"Ling, don't chase it, these things are trying to lead you and me apart, just wait for dawn."
Zhou Ling nodded, and sat down to calm down and ignore the red figures that gathered more and more, and those red figures also seemed to realize that Zhou Ling and the two were not fooled, and finally laughed lowly, the voice was extremely cold and weird, like a female ghost crying at night, and at the same time, in the flickering firelight, a pair of white thin arms suddenly stretched out under each pillar, and the demon pulled Zhou Ling to avoid a pair of arms under him, and the camel not far away was still indifferent, those arms actually passed through the camel's body, Zhou Ling frowned, Aren't these things physical? Immediately afterwards, the owner of the pair of miserable white arms finally crawled out, with a cloak of hair, faintly exposed blue and white skin, black holey eyes, and a large black and purple mouth, the visual impact is absolutely first-class.
Zhou Ling and the demon glanced at each other, and both saw speechlessness in each other's eyes, although they also saw a lot of various terrifying-looking creatures and killed a lot, but in the middle of the night, a group of ghosts crawled out of the ground, still in this kind of desert, that scene, thinking about it is scary enough, the demon and Zhou Ling did not hesitate, and immediately shot when it was time to shoot, Zhou Ling directly summoned the black wind to entangle those female ghosts approaching them, but what made her stomach hurt was that her ability could not attack these disembodied things at all, and she slashed with a knife, I'm sorry, it's like cutting air, but if she is close to a female ghost, she can't breathe with an extremely cold and uncomfortable feeling.
The demon covered himself and Zhou Ling with the red aurora, and the ghosts who pounced on him didn't dare to approach for a while, but they didn't want to leave, and they kept roaring at the two people in the wall of light with a hideous face, but temporarily asked them to retreat a little, not daring to step forward, and Zhou Ling gasped for a while, but his expression darkened,
"Youyou, I'm useless, I've been useless since I came here."
"The Ling I know, I won't say that I'm useless, Ling, what are you afraid of, since that zombie attack on the city, Ling, what are you afraid of." The demon turned his head and stared at Zhou Ling's eyes, as if he wanted to see through her whole person.
But Zhou Ling was shocked by the demon's words, what was she afraid of?
