Chapter Seventy-Four: The Secret of the Map
After three days of repairing, Zhou Ling and the demon duo did not greet the stunned Qing, but quietly set off early in the morning of the fourth day and embarked on the road to the Tianshi Volcano.
Along the way, the demon looked at the old man Tianyan who gave them a lot of food and medicinal materials, and generously gave four sturdy camels and wanted to laugh, and looked at Zhou Ling, who was riding a camel in front of him, and the demon's eyes were full of smiles.
In fact, Zhou Ling is not uncommon, but when he saw the old man of Tianyan's scheming appearance, he felt uneasy, and the old man of Tianyan gave a map to the Tianshi Volcano, and Zhou Ling found that it was similar to the leather map she exchanged for buns before, but this one introduced another route, and it was brand new, as if it had just been done, far less ancient than the one Zhou Ling got before.
She didn't show any doubts, in fact, she didn't trust the old man Tianyan very much, this old guy could even see that she was reborn, she didn't believe Ahri and Stunned Qing, the old man didn't get involved, she still didn't know what the old man was so kind to help them do, she always felt that he was calculating something, this passive feeling made her very unhappy.
And according to the words of the old man of Tianyan, the route to be able to approach that volcano is now only known to the people of his tribe, it seems that the crazy old man who sold him the map before is probably also from the old man of Tianyan, so can he use these, thinking of this, Zhou Ling pretended to exclaim inadvertently,
"Hey, it's weird how this looks exactly like my previous map." As he spoke, he shook his head and walked out,
Sure enough, when the old man of Tianyan heard this, he was first surprised, and then grabbed Zhou Ling, who was about to walk out, and asked eagerly:
"You've seen exactly the same map, where, who gave it to you."
Zhou Ling looked left and right a few times, stretched his neck and said:
"You're asking me?"
"Nonsense, girl, tell me that the map is still not on you."
Zhou Ling was amused when he heard it, and he dared to love that the old man of Tianyan still cared about the matter of this map, anyway, they were not very relieved to keep the smiling tiger here, and it was okay for the old man to find something to do, so Zhou Ling said regretfully:
"The map, it was given to me by a crazy old man, hey, you said earlier, the thing was snatched by the corpse girl, you know, I can't beat her, it's too late to escape, but look at you so nervous, that thing is not a big deal."
Hmph, I won't tell you, the old man of Tianyan heard that the map was actually snatched away, and it was still one of his arch-enemies, his face suddenly changed greatly, although he could see some of Zhou Ling's secrets through his special abilities, but he couldn't tell the truth from the false. If that thing really falls into the hands of the corpse girl, I am afraid that the pattern of this dry bone desert will be broken, and everything he has worked so hard to maintain will no longer exist, this is absolutely not allowed to happen, the old man of Tianyan glanced at Zhou Ling deeply, and found that she still looked confused and regretful, and was already sure in his heart, what Zhou Ling said was true, the map must have been taken away by the damn corpse girl, thinking of this, the old man of Tianyan asked where the person who gave Zhou Ling the map was, and Zhou Ling pulled around, just didn't tell him, and finally came directly, When she came back, the angry old man almost turned his back on him.
Zhou Ling was secretly happy, and what she said was a half-truth, the map was indeed not on her, not on the corpse girl, she didn't know, but looking at the nervous appearance of the old man in Tianyan, he probably didn't have to clean up the corpse girl by himself, the old man in Tianyan would do it himself.
But let's wait until she can come back safely.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the desert, a crazy old man giggled with two already greenish meat buns, while humming his own song of steamed buns:
"Yo he, buns, buns, yo hehe..."
And there are some poisons in the desert, such as two-headed monster snakes, giant lizards or something, as soon as they saw this crazy old man, they immediately opened their mouths wide, and bit them fiercely, who knew that before they got close, a burst of dazzling silver light shrouded the crazy old man entirely, and the poisons that were close to him were all turned into ashes, and on the sand dunes not far away, there were still a few zombies with blurred faces and tall bodies, but they were almost dried by the scorching sun in the desert at noon, and the crazy old man passed by them, and those zombies were stunned at first, In the end, he fled and hid in a hurry, it was really unimaginable, a low-level creature with no intelligence like a zombie would actually be afraid of the crazy old man, and the crazy old man's original crazy and stupid appearance immediately became tyrannical when he saw those zombies,
"You goddamn walking dead are still dangling in front of me."
A more dazzling silver light suddenly blasted the fleeing zombies into slag, leaving only piles of black ashes, and the crazy old man sighed in surprise at this time, he walked to a pile of sand, took out an old leather map from the pile of ashes, looked at it for a long time, and patted his head and said:
"Isn't this what I used to exchange for buns, why did I come back again, then the little girl who gave me buns shouldn't have an accident."
The crazy old man seemed to be very distressed about this, and finally stroked the two green-haired buns in his hand lovingly, sighed and said:
"Hey, who let that little girl give it to me, I'll go help her."
Zhou Ling didn't expect that there was a great god who was fighting the idea of coming to save her, at this moment she and the demon were stunned by the endless desert in front of her, the map given to them by the old man of the eye of the sky was obviously going here, it stands to reason that they should be able to rush to the ruins of an ancient city to rest before sunset, and they can also avoid the phantom poison of the night in the dry bone desert, but now the sun in the sky has become blood red, and the desert reflected on the soles of their feet is also like a thick river of blood, which looks extremely strange and hideous,
"Demon, is our direction wrong, the ruins of the ancient city should be near here." Zhou Ling got off the camel and looked at it for a long time without seeing the slightest shadow of the city.
And the demon keenly looked around, and when he saw that the sand here was thicker than elsewhere, he already knew in his heart,
"Ling, we didn't make a mistake, the ancient city is at our feet, but it was buried by the wind and sand."
As soon as he heard that the ruins of the ancient city were actually at his feet, Zhou Ling was big for a while, and it seemed that they were busy.
