Chapter 67: The Wild Boar of the Stone Tomb
The next day, before dawn, He Ming and Ye Zilan went to Tianzun's room again, like he resigned, and made some requests to him by the way. In the face of these requests, Tianzun readily agreed to them.
So they walked together and walked out of the hall together.
At the door of the gym, the two batches of horses have already been saddled and ready to go, I don't know if it has anything to do with the natural affinity of the White Sun Gate, these two horses have become more majestic for more than a month.
When they walked to the horses and took the reins, Liao Xun took the horse that had come from the Valley of the Vipers and happened to walk towards the two of them.
He Ming saluted him: "I'm going to work hard for you again this time, Brother Liao Xun." ”
As soon as Liao Xun saw He Ming, he pulled his mouth and said to him: "Say it! You're done, you're going to come back and invite me. You see you eloped with a great beauty. I'm going to help you report peace and spread a false letter, this is a real two-sided knife! ”
He Ming didn't bother to argue, he said to Liao Xun: "Although things are not the same as you said, I still entrust you to take care of this matter." Thank you for your kindness, there will be a day when you will be invited back. ”
Liao Xun also showed a serious expression: "I'm just joking, don't take it to heart." Here's a farewell, take care. ”
The trio then mounted their horses and headed south through the deserted Walmart Forest, then around Beach City and several caravans until they entered Viper Valley. Here I want to separate from Liao Xun:
Liao Xun wanted to go towards the Poisonous Snake Mountain Village and go to Li Yueqin to report her safety. And He Ming wanted to go to Zuma's temple with Ye Zilan and ask Zuma's sect leader about the secret of Thunder.
Liao Xun rode the brown horse and quickly disappeared into the vast sea of grass in the Viper Valley, and when He Ming saw him, he was at a loss, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ye Zilan smiled and said to him: "It's going to get better, don't think so much, you have to solve the problem in front of you first, don't you?" ”
The soft and melodious voice pulled He Ming back to reality. Damn, I must not be confused like this again! He Ming said to himself.
He Ming suddenly turned back to Ye Zilan and said, "Thank you, although I don't know how to thank you, because I may not be able to repay you at all, but after that, I will never be lost in my misfortune casually." ”
Ye Zilan smiled and said, "What do I want in return?" To put it mildly, someone like you who is on the front line against the monster charge has benefited many people in itself. Now put these thoughts away, let's go to the Zuma temple first. ”
He Ming nodded affirmatively, and together they pulled the reins and galloped towards the north.
In late autumn, the Viper Valley is still green grass, but on the way to gallop in the direction of Mengzhong on a horse for thousands of miles, the scene under the eyes is simply visible, slowly turning from grass green to withered yellow. By the time the green was completely gone, they were very close to the alliance.
When he arrived at the checkpoint between the Valley of the Viper and Mengzhong, He Ming unexpectedly saw a person holding a dragon-patterned sword, pacing left and right as if he was bored.
Probation! How did this dude run here to guard the border? Le Ma slowed down, and the two of their horses stopped beside the interrogator.
The inquisitor raised his eyebrows, and said to them randomly, "Huh! The two of you are fine, you haven't been back for more than a month, and now you're in and out of the right place, and you're really happy. ”
Ye Zilan interrupted him: "A three-year-old child like you has no position to say this, get down to business!" Why are you here, you are not a stand-up person. ”
The interrogator's expression became serious: "It's really a big deal." As you can see, it's a lot more guarded now. Since the Zuma Sect Master promised us not to attack again, it is true that the Zuma monsters have not attacked us, but in the past month, many Zuma monsters have been running around. Many have even bypassed here to travel to other areas.
"Although they kept their distance from our position, the psychological pressure they brought was self-evident, so I decided to go to their temple and communicate with the sect leader."
Ye Zilan asked, "Then have you been to Zuma Temple?" ”
The interrogator obviously didn't expect Ye Zilan to care so much about asking this question, but he still answered on his own:
"As a result, those monsters don't regard me as a friend of their sect leader at all, and they are very unfriendly. I struggled to sneak in, ran several floors, and found that the Zuma Guardian and the statue inside, all back to the stone incarnation.
"Although their souls are still in the blood of the sheep in their statues, they are not disturbed by the vibrations, like a stone sculpture, and do not move at all.
"Frustratingly, I walked around the whole inside without feeling the breath of Zuma. Eventually, I was kicked out of the temple by those damn guys, with weapons. ”
He Ming remembered the danger they had encountered the last time they entered the first floor of Zuma's temple, this interrogation was really incredible. He involuntarily asked:
"So you went around all the way inside, but you didn't see Sect Master Zuma?"
The sound of this word was louder than a word that made the judge very incomprehensible, but he was not affected at all: "Yes, so, now we are simply terrible, looking at these Zuma guards in a hurry every day, I don't know when it will be a head." ”
Ye Zilan's face also became gloomy, and then she controlled her emotions and turned around and asked He Ming:
"The situation that the interrogator said, he can't bring others in, it seems that we can't find the Zuma sect leader this time, do you have any plans next?"
The interrogator interjected, "Plans?" Now that you've got it, he still wants to run? Truth be told, we can't afford to be idle right now. ”
Ye Zilan looked back at this strange thing a little helplessly: "What does it mean to be idle?" Could there be anything worse than the chaos that is now in place here? ”
The inquisitor scratched his head and said, "Do you remember the stone tomb in Tucheng?" ”
Ye Zilan replied: "Legend has it that the people who migrated over ancient times began to settle down with that stone tomb as a base, which was built before ancient times, and it was amazingly strong. The now magnificent earthen castle was expanded around it, but the stone tomb itself was so strong that people tried their best to open it. ”
"Not long ago, Tucheng sent someone to ask for help, saying that the stone tomb was opened from the inside, and a group of undead boar monsters came out of it every night and destroyed it everywhere. Of course, you have also seen that in the case of Shabak, where did they send people to help? ”
Ye Zilan stared at the interrogator: "So you told me that you were standing guard here, just to wait for me to come back and let me go alone to support?" ”
The interrogator said haha: "How can it be, isn't there still a little brother He Ming, I'm also one." ”
Ye Zilan turned around and asked He Ming, "What do you think?" You don't seem to have anywhere else to go, so if you don't go and see what you might find, you might be able to find some connections. ”
He Ming has already made up his mind and is no longer confused by what happened to him. But if he didn't do something, he couldn't hold on at all. So he looked up and said, "Okay, I hope I won't trouble you." ”
After He Ming made a decision, Ye Zilan continued to ask the interrogator: "Speak seriously!" Those powerful people in the alliance have strong forces, what kind of undead boars can force them to ask for help, do you have any information? ”
"We sent scouts to find out. The guys who appeared at night were pig-headed people, tall and strong, and all of them were like hills.
"At first, the Tucheng magnates organized forces to deal with them, but no matter how many were eliminated, so many would still come out at night to wreak havoc. Later, they sent a team of elites into the stone tomb to investigate, but these elites went in and never came out. ”
Ye Zilan frowned and said, "Since Sect Master Zuma said those words, there really hasn't been a clean day. I've been talking to you for so long, and the horses are almost resting, so let's go straight away. ”
The judge said: "To be honest, I think those powerful people in Tucheng are unreliable. But now Shabak is also stable with their support, so we will take a look. ”
The interrogator also turned on his horse, and the three of them didn't even enter Shabak City, and went straight to Mengzhong Earth City.
As mentioned earlier, the city was slowly expanded around a sturdy and massive ancient stone tomb, a mysterious prehistoric structure that could keep the soil and water from being seriously carried away by the rainy season.
With the gradual stabilization of life, the scope of Tucheng has gradually expanded, here, people live and work in peace and contentment, multiply from generation to generation, and it is already the largest settlement in the whole League.
One can imagine what a huge blow it was to the entire alliance when the stone tomb itself brought disaster. Although He Ming didn't understand why the alliance was such a big thing, he was waiting for Shabak's reinforcements, but the three of them still hurried to Tucheng.
Tucheng occupies an area that is not under the Beech City, but it has not been completely unified for thousands of years, and has always been divided by three wealthy clans. When He Ming and the three arrived, the three clans sent representatives to greet them.
Seeing the people who came to receive them from a distance, Ye Zilan said softly to his teammates: "It seems that they don't attach much importance to this matter." ”
"Not necessarily, you see that half of the walls have been demolished here, and all the residents of the center have moved outside, which still looks quite serious." ”
The reason why Ye Zilan sees it this way is because the one in the middle of the station is the representative of the surname Ma in Tucheng, and his name is Ma Er.
He was originally the groom of the patriarch of the Ma family, because when the young patriarch came to power, he did not have many cronies, and this groom was the one who could thoroughly implement the will of the patriarch at some times.
And this well-known groom came out to greet him, which made Ye Zilan feel that they despised this matter, but in fact, he was the only loyal subordinate of the patriarch surnamed Ma who could carry out the order without discounting, and he came out to greet him as a representative, which just proved that the Tucheng nobles attached great importance to this matter.
Judging from the people sent by the other two races, he is still a very respectable figure.
Ma Er made a welcome gesture to the three of them, and then hurriedly invited them to Mengzhong's hotel to introduce the situation.
The three have luxurious reception halls, but due to mutual checks and balances, this kind of reception scene can only be arranged in the only hotel in Mengzhong with luxurious facilities.
