Chapter 50: Outside the City: Exploration
This dawn was the second day of the separation of the Great Wall squad.
The three of them set out early in the morning and walked in the desert for a long time before they reached the vicinity of an abandoned village and found a decent house.
There were familiar people lying on the floor in the house, Li Bai felt that someone was coming, and he had already woken up, and after discussing it, several people decided to go to Jinting City together.
After the appointment was made, Shou Yu began to cook on the fire, Li Bai was in charge of hunting, and Su Lie and Kai went to the vicinity of the village to be on guard.
In the distance, Su Lie saw a familiar figure, Armor's sister, Luna!
"Armor, that's your sister, and that monk, shouldn't the captain ask us to find someone?" The words of keeping the covenant startled the armor in the false sleep, and he got up and took a look.
When Armor walked over, Luna and Dharma had already arrived, and they greeted Su Lie.
"Little sister?" Although Kai was surprised in his heart, the words he said were faint and did not contain a trace of surprise.
"Brother, are you really here?" Luna was pleasantly surprised, didn't her brother go to support Jinting City?
Armor nodded, but didn't say much, Luna couldn't help but be a little disappointed to see her brother not so surprised to see her, but she still smiled and greeted Shouyo.
Shouyo smiled and said, "Well, we were about to go to Jinting City to rest in this place, but I didn't expect to meet you. ”
Su Lie said: "By the way, Li Bai went out hunting, let him stay here alone, you can rest assured?!" ”
It would be too irresponsible to let a drunk person stay in a place where demon seeds might appear, and his companions! Thinking like this, there was inevitably some resentment in his tone.
Bodhidharma, who still had his eyes closed, apologized to Su Lie, "This is a mistake by the poor monk, please don't misunderstand this girl." ”
"Yes......" Luna was about to explain, but when she thought about it, it seemed that it was really Dharma's fault!
Seeing that Bodhidharma admitted his mistake, Su Lie felt that what he had just said seemed to be a bit excessive, and said embarrassedly: "It's okay, I also believe in Li Bai's swordsmanship, he will be fine, but next time he is drunk, it is better to have someone to stay." ”
"Okay." Luna and Dharma nodded at the same time and sat down by the campfire.
At this time, Li Bai, who had returned from hunting, dragged a few demon seed birds over, as well as a few eggs, and threw them to Shou Yue's side, yawning sleepily, and said, "Convergence, then I'll go to sleep, remember to call me if there is a major event!" ”
"Drink less." Su Lie frowned, reached out and directly snatched the wine jug from Li Bai's waist and put it together with the pillar.
Li Bai frowned, and made a gesture to grab it, but Su Lie's look at you made him stunned, thought about it, threw the sword to Su Lie, and said before entering the house: "You can also help me polish the sword, anyway, you are free." ”
"Okay." Su Lie saw that Li Bai had gone to rest, and nodded with a smile.
Bodhidharma meditated quietly by the campfire, keeping the promise and indulging in the fun of cooking, while Su Lie wiped Li Bai's sword, and Luna and Kai chatted.
Seeing that Luna hadn't spoken since she sat down, she was entangled for a while, and asked in a somewhat stiff tone, "Luna, where have you been these days?" ”
Have you ever encountered danger, what you eat or drink? Do you sleep well at night, do you dream of him when you dream......
He couldn't say these words.
Luna said happily, "After I left Jade City, I originally planned to go to the Great Wall with Hirsch and them, but instead of going to the Great Wall, they went to Golden Court City. I lost my way and went to the lawless land, only to meet Li Bai and Master Bodhidharma. ”
"It's fine if you're okay." After hearing this, it took a long time for him to say this.
"Hmm." Luna nodded, staring at the flickering flames and the near-roasted bird meat.
She suddenly covered her forehead, feeling a little headache, and her face changed when she saw this, and she quickly asked her what was wrong? Luna shook her head, signaling that she was okay and that her brother still cared about her.
"You can't be hungry, are you?" Shou Promise peels the eggs that have been baked and holds one of the eggshells to Luna.
"Thank you." Luna took it, "You're really careful. "He's a good brother!
Shouyo smiled and said, "Because I have to take care of my younger brother!" ”
"Hmm." Luna nodded.
Kai sighed in his heart, he thought he would be angry, but no, keeping the covenant was good for Xuan Ce, so he couldn't be jealous.
"Brother, are you eating?" Luna sees her brother staring at the egg in her hand and thinks he is hungry, so she shoves it into Armor's hand.
"Ah, okay." Armor was stunned for a moment, didn't hear what Luna said, and then ate it under the strange gazes of the others around her.
"Brother, I had a dream." Luna looked at her distracted brother and smiled, "I dreamed that someone told me that we could only live by eating everything that was alive. ”
"That's right." Armor didn't hear it, but Shoujo answered. "We must eat what is alive and let ourselves live, otherwise the important people, the people we miss, no one knows if you are still alive."
"You're going too far." Su Lie was stunned and didn't understand, seeing that Shouyue looked smiling, he touched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'll go and call Li Bai for dinner, you can continue." ”
Time flies quickly, in the blink of an eye, it is afternoon, Su Lie looked at the city in a distant place, a little anxious, I don't know how the captain is now, whether he is injured, if the captain has no time to send out a signal flare, what should he do?
Shou Yue also looked at the city in the distance with him, and he was also anxious, did Xuan Ce eat and drink well these days? Did you make trouble for Sister Mulan again?
Kai was also thinking in his heart, why didn't the captain send a signal yet?
Li Bai, who was still eating, raised his eyebrows, put away the rest of the food, and put it in the package brought by the armor and his party, he picked up the sword that had been polished, pointed to the city in the distance and said, "Let's go!" ”
On the other side, when Li Bai and the others were still eating, Shuanglan and Xuan Ce had already arrived at the sand cave with the help of the sandstorm, although they tossed very much halfway, but fortunately, they had already arrived at their destination.
The Lanling King, who was lying on the rock, saw the black-winged bird near the sand cave, and he said to the two people hiding behind him: "I'll go stealth and investigate first, you wait for my signal." ”
"Be careful." Hua Mulan and Xuan Ce spoke at the same time.
"Okay." King Lanling nodded, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth before he became invisible, but the mask covered his prosperous beauty.
After the footprints left by King Lanling on the sand walked away, Xuan Ce whispered: "Captain, Master was very happy just now, he smiled. ”
"How do you know?"
"When he laughs, I can smell it."
"Is the wolf nose so powerful?"
"Captain believe me!"
"Believe you, but you lie down for me, don't move." Mulan patted Xuan Ce's head and told him to lie on the rock.
The black-winged bird hovering in the air was keenly aware of someone coming, and it flew through the sky to spot Mulan and Xuan Ce, and was about to launch an attack when the Eye of Annihilation appeared.
Luo Lu, I feel it, the descendant of that person's blood is nearby, and I want to avenge you!
Seeing that the black-winged bird did not attack Mulan and Xuan Ce, King Lanling was worried and a little curious.
Suddenly, a girl's voice came to my ears: "What are you doing here?" ”
“?” King Lanling turned his head suddenly, and when he saw the girl in the white cloak standing behind him, he looked at him curiously, and he was stunned.
I go, she can see me? Wait, if the Blackwing Bird finds her, I won't be able to suffer with her?
"Why don't you speak?" Half of Hirsch's face was hidden under the hood.
At this time, Guiguzi hid incognito near Mulan and Xuan Ce, not knowing that Hirsch had already spoken to King Lanling.
When King Lanling saw that her face was the same, he was sure that he could see himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, and he was really unhappy to be caught by a stranger who didn't know where he came from.
"Come with me, this is not the place to talk." Hirsch stretched out his hand to take the hand of the Lanling King, and despite the Lanling King's struggle, he quickly ran towards the sand cave.
Hua Mulan and Xuan Ce didn't know that the King of Lanling had been abducted by Hirsch, and they were still fighting with the black-winged bird Zhou Xuan in the sand dunes.
Hirsch, who was pulling King Lanling in front of him, did not look good, her face was cold, and she seemed to be very unhappy.
King Lanling didn't know that if it hadn't been for Hirsch's sudden appearance, he would have discovered that his Eye of Annihilation would have killed him unceremoniously, but in Hirsch's plan, he couldn't die yet!
"Let go." King Lanling said to Hirsch halfway, her hands were so cold that she could detect the cold through her gloves.
Seeing that they had entered the AI lock zone, Hirsch let go of his hand, turned to King Lanling and said, "King Lanling, I can only help you get here, farewell." ”
Then, in the surprised eyes of King Lanling, she quickly ran towards the sand cave, the sand cave was stacked with hundreds of caves, hole after hole, and she couldn't find the direction at all when she entered.
But when the king of Lanling saw that the girl who had only a few faces had entered, he also entered one of the caves.
As soon as he entered the cave, he saw that the countless demon seeds in the cave were roaring towards the sky, and they didn't move, as if they didn't notice his arrival.
Even if they're stealth, they should be aware of it, right? And, why don't they have a little sound?
He counted them roughly, and estimated that these were all demon seeds near Jinting City, as if they were performing some kind of evil ritual!
King Lanling suppressed the curiosity in his heart and looked at the place where they were looking, which was the top of the sand cave, from where the sun shone down and cast it on the altar in the center of the cave, on which sat the invincible king.
With just one glance, King Lanling guessed that it was the Eye of Annihilation!
No wonder it suddenly disappears, and it turns out to be in human form!
King Lanling held his breath and probed towards a demon seed in the cave beside him, and after several probes, he had no vital signs and had been dead for a long time.
He was shocked in his heart, these demon seeds had obviously been dead for a long time, why did they still maintain their previous appearance?
Moreover, the core of the demon seed after death is gone.
He suddenly looked at the Eye of Annihilation sitting on the altar, remembering that a long time ago, when he met Xuan Ce, it seemed that he was used to sacrifice to someone, but someone replaced him and destroyed the entire sand cave?
Is the Eye of Annihilation awakened now because the sacrifice was unsuccessful?
King Lanling obviously didn't know the truth, and he couldn't find any information that could be used as a reference, so he could only trust his own speculation.
Hirsch stomped on the floating blocks, which lit up to guide her to where she was where she belonged.
