Chapter 42: Burns

"What? You're going to Death Valley? His eyes widened and he looked at the three people in front of him in disbelief.

"Well, we don't know where it is, so you can lead the way." Tristana simply ignored the surprise and horror of the beard.

"No, no, no, it doesn't work, I really don't dare to go there, and I don't know where it is." The beard shook his head like a rattle.

"Can you take us there?"

The thin man saw Tristana looking at him, and smiled bitterly, "I don't know where that place is." The thin man really wanted to show them the way, in his opinion, how could that place be as terrifying as the legend of this bearded man, and with these big guys here, what could happen.

"You're not afraid I'll kill you?" Tristana could only put her hope on the beard again.

Who knew that the beard looked like death this time:

"Then you can kill me, I won't go to that place anyway, and going there is no different from dying now."

Tristana crouched next to her, thought for a long time, and finally came up with a compromise:

"Well, you take us to the vicinity of that place, and then we'll let you go, so you don't have to go in, and there's no danger."

"I can only take you to the vicinity of the village where I used to live, and then tell you the general direction, I'm afraid I really can't do anything about the rest, and I don't know where that place is."

"Okay, okay, just do as you say." Tristana seemed tired of the man's bargaining and agreed directly.

The two bandits who were tied up slowly stood up under Timo's watchful eye, and Tristana also put away her luggage, only Ling Tianmao was still sitting under the big tree not far away.

"Dahl, come here, let's try to get things sorted out before dark." Tristana beckoned Ling Tianmao to the side.

"That...... I don't have to go with you, do I? Ling Tianmao's expression was a little unnatural, he could already see from the reaction of his beard just now, that Death Valley was probably not a good place, he really didn't want to continue to stir up this matter.

"What are you talking about? We've all agreed to go together, and you'll have to prove to us that you've not lied before, and that we yodelers must do our best to help our fellows with all that we do. Tristana said as she continued to play with the hand cannon in her hand.

"I ...... I'm kidding, it's not like it's not confiscated. Ling Tianmao had already noticed that Timo was standing near him and aimed at him with the blowgun in his hand, and quickly swept the last few things on the ground into his backpack and walked over to them.

So the team of five people set off like this, Teemo and Tristana walked in front and followed the direction indicated by the beard, while Ling Tianmao watched from behind the two bandits who had been tied up by the five flowers.

"I said, brother, what are you doing, why do you have to stay with two yodelers all day." The beard asked Ling Tianmao in a low voice as he walked.

Ling Tianmao looked forward, but fortunately, Timo and Tristana didn't notice the scene behind:

"Don't ask so many irrelevant things, besides, I'm a yodeler." Ling Tianmao was in a very bad mood, and he didn't want to chat with his beard.

"You too?" The beard looked at Ling Tianmao's appearance, and then at Timo and Tristana: "Okay, I understand. In his heart, Ling Tianmao had already been divided into the group of people who had brain problems.

"Is it true that no one came out of the Death Valley alive in that Death Valley you mentioned?" Ling Tianmao still didn't look too desperate.

"It's really not, everyone knows there's a problem, and I rarely go in any direction." The beard is also a dejected expression, not only did he not say anything when he came out today, but most of his companions lost their lives, and his life and death were in the hands of others. In his current situation, even if the two yodelers let him go, he didn't know what to rely on to survive.

"You just think about it, if you provide any useful information, I can tell the above later, and help you plead."

The beard still had an embarrassed expression, not that he didn't want to say it, but he really didn't know what to say, but, after more than ten seconds, he suddenly thought of something:

"I remember, someone did come out of it."

"Oh? Then tell me what's inside. ”

"I really don't know, this incident should have happened when I was five or six years old, and I only had a limited amount of things to remember at that age. All I remember is one day when a charred guy came running into the village, he couldn't speak when he arrived, and he died of his injuries not long after. It's just that the uncle told us that this guy had been desperately pointing to the place in Death Valley before he died. ”

"Burns all over my body...... Any other information? Ling Tianmao continued to ask.

"That's really nothing, I've always suspected that my uncles and uncles were lying to us, they just didn't want us to go to that place, so I didn't react for a moment when you asked me. There's a good chance that this guy's burns have nothing to do with Death Valley. ”

The five of them walked all morning, and finally arrived at the small village where the beard used to live at noon.

All that was left was the ruins of the blackened walls, and a few barely relegible yards in which unnamed birds had made their homes.

"Well, I've done what I promised, follow the path out of the village to the east, turn south when you see the source of a small river, and go all the way to where Death Valley is, but it's hard to say how much you'll have to walk, I've never been there. Now, can you let us go? ”

Tristana was also very crisp, and stepped forward and cut the rope that bound them with a dagger:

"Don't let me find out that you are doing these things again in the future, and then no one else will be blamed."

The two robbers hurriedly thanked the three of them and then fled, and Ling Tianmao and the three of them sat in the middle of the village and rested for a while, then walked towards the east path in the direction indicated by the beard.

About ten minutes later, the trio saw the source of the creek in the distance.

"Looks like that guy wasn't lying, I'm going to see what's playing tricks here!" Tristana took the cannon in her arms, and Teemo pulled out her blowgun. Ling Tianmao saw that the two of them were ready to fight, so he had to take out the short knife and put it on his chest.

But when they got to the creek, Teemo and Tristana had strange expressions on their faces.
