An Zixin leaned against the wall and fell asleep weakly, the surroundings were pitch black, to be exact, if there was no flashlight or firelight, the ancient city of Xixia lying quietly underground would have been sleeping in this boundless darkness.

Just now, the group of them made it to the deepest part of the barracks, a room with murals painted on three walls, a chair in the center of the room, and a row of shelves next to it, which were filled with various weapons.

Those murals depict various scenes of ancient wars, Ruan Zhou'an was fascinated by it, and explained to everyone while looking at it, according to the costumes in the murals, it should be the war scenes of the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty and later the Mongols.

Later, An Zixin asked with some curiosity, there seems to be a woman majestic in this mural, why is there a female general in Western Xia?

Ruan Zhouan deserves to be an expert, and he said without hesitation: "This must be the Empress Dowager Liang!" At first, the Western Xia was defeated and retreated, and then the Empress Dowager Liang personally conquered and defeated the Song soldiers, all the way to the Wuding River......"

An Zixin looked adoring and said, "What a heroine among women......"

Ruan Zhouan thought for a while, scratched his head and said: "What does this Empress Dowager Liang say, the story is long, I have time to talk about it in detail, but it is rumored that she was holding a sword in her hand when she was fighting, named Shengxue, I think that one is a bit similar!" ”

An Zixin looked at it curiously, and sure enough, on the weapon rack, the other weapons had long been rusted and could not be used again, but there was a long sword among them, which was still cold and shining after a thousand years!

Later, An Zixin ran over curiously and took off the sword, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and felt that it must be an artifact, so she honestly and unceremoniously walked away.

Except for the frescoes and swords, the others had nothing to gain, so they did not continue to explore, but found a few rooms in the depths of the barracks to settle down first, and have a good rest, so that they could recover their energy and recharge their energy. Second, wait for the two groups of people outside and the aborigines (big snakes and rats) in the ruins of the ancient city to fight each other, and wait until they are almost consumed.

So An Zixin and the cow occupied a small room alone, holding a blanket and sleeping beautifully for a few hours, in order to save the pull and electricity, she didn't turn on the light, just slept and rested in the dark, and the puppy cow also fell asleep on her feet.

The concept of time in the dark has long been disordered, and An Zixin doesn't know how long she has been asleep, anyway, she was woken up by Alessio's knock on the door.

The latter smiled in the dark and said, "Miss An, Toledo said that the movement outside is much smaller, and I want to discuss with you whether we should set off?" ”

An Zixin rubbed her eyes in a daze, indicating that I would go to his room to discuss.

A few minutes later, the team of more than a dozen people all sat together, and An Zixin set the rules that everyone discussed important things together, instead of a few leaders working behind closed doors.

Toledo said in a deep voice: "In the past few hours, there was a lot of gunfire outside, and the location was not fixed, I deduced that the two people had encountered in many places in the dungeon, and then gradually the gunfire subsided, replaced by the sound of some cold weapons fighting, I guess that both sides were almost out of bullets and began to fight hand-to-hand." ”

Everyone else nodded, acknowledging his reasoning.

Toledo continued: "The last sound of the fight came from the direction of the temple, I feel that they finally fought all the way to the temple, and after that, more than an hour passed, and I didn't hear any sound of fighting, I would venture to assume here that they should have entered the temple, so I formally suggest that we can almost go over and have a look, after all, we now have six guns in our hands, even if the other side fires, there will be a battle!" ”

After saying that, he looked at the other people seriously, and Isamel was the first to agree, he felt a little aggrieved waiting like this, so it was better to go and do a big job.

Several other Italians also chimed in, and finally An Zixin and Robert also nodded!

After reaching an agreement, everyone immediately straightened out, and An Zixin also took the initiative to carry a heavy travel bag, which was full of various supplies, originally everyone took care of her and didn't want her to carry the weight, but at this time, An Meinu felt the need to lead by example.

Before leaving, she took out the dog food again and fed the cow a little, she hugged the cow, watched it gobble up the dog food, and said softly: "Cow, there is not much dog food, I can only feed a little, you have to save some food, good!" ”

The reorganized team changed formations, and the first to go was Robert, 'The Cow' and Casarte.

Robert is the number one master, Casarte is a big man, more than two meters tall is the most burly in their squad, he has a medium level of combat power but has the most powerful firepower in their squad: a submachine gun!

The 'cow' walked between the two of them, and sometimes he felt tired of walking, and would jump up and climb on Casarte's shoulder to rest, and the little dog was already well mixed with the Italians.

An Zixin, Isamel with two knives, and Alessio with an automatic rifle followed closely behind the two men and a dog to protect their safety, Ricardo was still behind, but there was also an Italian with a gun to accompany him, and the others walked in the middle.

After more than half an hour of careful trekking, the team came to the temple smoothly all the way, and encountered a few rats on the way, which were easily eliminated by their tacit cooperation.

Everyone had only looked at the temple from afar, but when they really came to the entrance, this magnificent building still deeply shocked everyone...... Different from the low height of other buildings in the ancient city of Heishui, this temple is literally soaring into the sky, all built with white boulders, and the entrance is extremely grand, with the first floor more than ten meters high, which looks magnificent.

They had also seen some corpses scattered on the road before, including Du Xiaoyue's subordinates and Qiu Dashao's subordinates who came in later.

But when they arrived at the gate of the temple, the corpses became dense, and it was clear that the two sides were engaged in an extraordinary life-and-death struggle here!

However, there are some small differences between the corpses here and those seen on the road ahead, the cause of death of the previous corpses was mostly gunshot wounds, and the corpses here near the temple were mostly killed by knife wounds, which means that Toledo's judgment was correct, and the bullets on both sides were almost consumed, and they began to cut each other with cold weapons.

Another trend is that there are obviously more corpses on the road than Du Xiaoyue's side, obviously they suffered a loss in terms of firepower, and they were firmly suppressed by the other party, and suffered heavy losses, but when they arrived at the gate of the temple, it was indeed Qiu Dashao's corpses that accounted for the majority, that is to say, in terms of fighting ability, it was still stronger on Du Xiaoyue's side.

Even Toledo carefully examined a few corpses, and reported to An Zixin in a deep voice: "Maybe there are several masters under Du Xiaoyue, and the wounds of several corpses here are exactly the same, they are all killed with one knife, they should have died under the same knife master, and several on the other side are bleeding to death, it looks like they have been hit the head, it may be a power-type master......"

An Zixin swallowed her saliva and said with a wry smile: "Toledo, we have no way back, we can only go in, I'm sorry, because I caused everyone to take such a big risk......"

Toledo shook his head and said: "The lives of our people were saved by the two old men back then, and we have long seen it, and now every day we live is earned!" ”

An Zixin hummed vigorously, she waved her hand and said, "Everyone go in!" ”

A few people rearranged their formation and slowly marched towards the temple! Alessio ran to An Zixin's side, happily took out a small pistol and said, "Miss An, look, I found this!" Tumbling out of a corpse! It's a pity that there are only five bullets, and you have it for self-defense! ”

An Zixin smiled and thanked the young man, but after she hesitated, she handed the pistol to Sylvia, she smiled and said: "Our doctor is very important, let her hold it, maybe these five bullets can save her life, and she can save us all in turn!" ”

Sylvia took the pistol with some emotion, and carefully wiped it with her clothes, to say absolute combat effectiveness, except for Ruan Zhou'an, she was the worst in the team, and An Zixin gave her the pistol was definitely the right choice.

On the first floor of the temple is a large hall, and Ruan Zhou'an explained to everyone in a low voice: "The Tangut people are particularly obsessed with star worship, and they believe that the stars in the sky can bless them, especially the Empress Dowager Liang we mentioned earlier, I heard that she has to go to the astrological platform to pray every time she goes on an expedition, I guess this temple should be the astrological platform of Western Xia!" The first floor is a place where people are often worshipped......"

An Zixin listened to Ruan Zhou'an's explanation, while carefully observing the hall on the first floor, and soon she noticed that there was a passage on the right side of the altar in front of the hall, and several people discussed it and decided to go over and have a look!

A dozen of them had just run to the passage when suddenly a gunshot rang out behind them! Ricardo, who was walking at the rear, reacted extremely quickly, dodged the blow with a short body in time, and several Italians with hot weapons quickly turned around and fired at the incoming road without hesitation!

Suddenly, the hall was filled with crackling gunshots!

An Zixin was startled, fortunately she walked in front, and at this moment she was already at the corner of the aisle in the main hall, she lowered her head and quickly rushed into the aisle, and several other Italians also fought and retreated, and quickly fled to the aisle and hid!

Alessio looked a little disgraced, and whispered: "It's Qiu Dashao and his gang!" ”

An Zixin nodded hurriedly, and suddenly she heard someone shouting at the entrance, "How about coming out and talking?" Du Xiaoyue has already taken the lead, will we cooperate with both sides? ”

Several Italians all looked at An Zixin, after all, she was the leader! (To be continued.) )
