Chapter 616: There is a hidden mystery in Troubled Stone Town
After Xin Qiji received the order, he led a few soldiers to the lake not far away.
And Ye Yu sat on horseback, staring coldly at the moon-shaped lake, he knew that this was the Moon Lake, a rare water source in the desert.
The name is very similar to the Crescent Lake near Luojian Mountain, but in terms of size, the Moon Lake in this desert is much larger than the Crescent Lake.
The dragon-like army stood still, save for the windswept sand, the clatter of the soldiers' armor, and the occasional sneeze from the horsemen's horses.
Other than that, it's all awe-inspiring!
Not long after, Xin Qiji and several soldiers turned back.
"Your Highness, this lake has been poisoned, and the soldiers of our army must not drink it!"
Xin Qiji's voice was so loud that it drifted along the gust of wind and reached the ears of every sergeant in the vanguard army.
Then it was passed on by word of mouth from the soldiers at the front, and in less than a moment it had spread throughout the entire army.
The soldiers who wanted to run towards the lake couldn't help but swallow their saliva in the army at this moment, secretly glad that they hadn't lost their minds just now.
And after Wu Yuechan heard the news, her face suddenly changed several times, and she couldn't help but set her eyes on Ye Yu ±.
Along the way, Ye Yu's cruel and bloodthirsty killing made Wu Yuechan very disgusted, because this was the elite division of the Wu family, and now not only did not die at the hands of the enemy on the battlefield, but died tragically under the knife of his own people.
Although she could understand the necessity of Ye Yu's move, from a personal emotional point of view, she couldn't let go of Ye Yu's behavior.
Coupled with Ye Yu's coldness and heat towards her along the way, it has already broken the heart of this fledgling love.
So after this march, Wu Yuechan has always had no good face for Ye Yu.
However, after learning that the Moon Lake was poisonous, Wu Yuechan's heart was very curious, and she couldn't figure out how Ye Yu guessed that the lake was poisonous.
Not only did she not understand this question, but Xin Qiji and the rest of the generals were confused.
And the reason why Ye Yu was able to be so cautious was entirely dependent on the little black chirp hovering overhead. And Xiao Hei's place can issue warnings in time because of a tacit communication among birds.
The Desert Eagle belongs to the sky above the desert, but it also depends on water to gather.
But just now, after Xiao Hei let out a startled roar, he picked up the remains of a flying eagle by the lake and hovered above Ye Yu's head.
When Ye Yu saw this scene, he naturally thought of the water quality problem of Moon Lake.
Of course, Ye Yu did not explain this, but ordered the army to continue to move forward, because ten miles northwest of Moon Lake was the town of Ranshi in the sheepskin scroll.
It's called Rocktown because it's a desert where boulders gather.
In the town of Ranshi, there is a small stone mountain, which has stood in the desert for several years, and has already eroded the stone wall without many edges and corners.
Fragments of stones are scattered around, making the surface of this stone forest paved with gravel.
When Ye Yu's army marched until evening, they came to this chaotic stone town.
Looking at the wide area of the stone forest, and the strange wind sounds emitted after the wind erosion of the stone forest, it added a bit of weirdness to this chaotic stone town.
Ye Yu jumped off the horse, took out the folded parchment roll from his arms, and then checked the surrounding terrain before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"This should be the ......"
While Ye Yu was talking to himself, Wu Qingyin slid off the horse with difficulty, and then came to Ye Yu's side with difficulty.
"Brother Ye, is this it?"
"Well, according to the map on this parchment, this should be the place!"
As Ye Yu spoke, he saw Wu Qingyin's face showing pain, and only then did he notice that Wu Qingyin's body was unwell.
So he hurriedly helped Wu Qingyin and asked with concern: "Is it painful?" ”
"No pain......
Wu Qingyin squeezed out a smile and tried her best to admit it, but this stubbornness made Ye Yu feel bad in his heart.
Horseback riding is not something that can be easily mastered by anyone.
Back then, when he Ye Yu was riding a horse, he also suffered from bumps and bruises, and even his entire bones were about to fall apart in the middle of the night.
Especially for those who are new to horseback riding, they will not get a good night's sleep for the next ten days. Because of the abrasions on the inner thighs, it will make people sleep all night with hot and painful pain.
Wu Qingyin had never ridden a horse, so he was equipped with a carriage all the way.
However, because this time in order to avoid the flanking attack of the Jinliao coalition army, he had to abandon the carriage and travel with a war horse instead.
Seeing that the two of them were in love with me again, Wu Yuechan in the rear was uneasy, and then motioned to the two female guards around her to help.
After that, he and Xin Qiji came over and asked if the army had entered this chaotic stone town.
Ye Yu waved his hand and said, "The army will stay here for the time being, and King Rong Ben will go first to find out!" ”
"Your Highness, absolutely not!"
"Why do you need His Highness Labor to go, the last general is willing to go and find out!"
"Brother Ye, the atmosphere here is weird, it's still ......"
The three of them tried their best to dissuade them, but Ye Yu was indifferent, but said solemnly: "Although this chaotic stone town is very extensive, it is in accordance with the pattern of the Nine Palaces and gossip, if you rush into it, you will definitely be trapped in it and it will be difficult to leave!" ”
“……”
When they said this, they were silent, for they hardly understood it.
"Brother Ye, then Qingyin will accompany you, in this army, Qingyin can't help much......"
Ye Yu thought about it, and it was not unreasonable, so he nodded and agreed.
And his promise hit Wu Yuechan's displeasure, so Wu Yuechan also proposed to follow her to Ranshi Town.
Seeing this, Ye Yu had no choice but to agree, holding the map mark of the parchment roll, and walked towards the depths of Ranshi Town.
Along the way, walking through the winding roads and passing through the dense boulders, Ye Yu also carried out a three-dimensional spatial conception in his mind at the same time.
And the result obtained is indeed as outlined on the parchment scroll, which is a nine-palace gossip array formed by topography and stone features.
And this labyrinth-like nine-palace gossip array is obviously much grander than the maze that was arranged in the mountains without money at the beginning.
At least thousands of people have entered it, and if you can't walk, it is estimated that it will be difficult to leave this place for ten days and half a month.
Ye Yu and the others had a map in hand, and they naturally passed through the road smoothly, and they also made imperceptible signs along the way, until they came to the bald stone mountain in the middle of the town.
Ye Yu followed the location marked on the map, asked the lone wolf and a group of guards to dig and search, and sure enough, he found a stone ring in a place in the Bald Stone Mountain.
