234, Dead City
The dilapidated walls and dusty houses disappointed us a little, but it was also a few thousand years old, and even Mi Ye needed to contact the outside world to reproduce, so the people here would not be able to hold on even if it was a city.
I fanned the dust and sat outside the ruins of a ruined house, feeling bitter in my throat.
"Brother, it's okay." Mi Ye patted me on the shoulder.
I tried to smile, we're late, and if the people here had come sooner, they might have ended this damn fate.
I looked at the ruined city-state, and I couldn't help but feel a little disgusted for the one buried in the underground palace, who allowed innocent people to live in such a dark place for generations. If you are so calculating, why do you need someone to keep the spirit, this is simply ironic.
The rest of the people were looking around for clues, but it didn't seem like they would get much out of it, it was too badly damaged.
"Brother, have you found out? There are no corpses here, no people, no animals, no household items or anything like that, which means that they may have left here and are not extinct. ”
I suddenly realized that I was not too emotional, and I stood up and took a closer look at the ruined houses around us, and it was true that there were no bones or household utensils or anything like that, as Mi Ye said.
"Really, it looks like they're supposed to be out of here."
"Uh-huh, and the plank road we came down didn't disappear because of disrepair or something, but someone deliberately took it." Mi Ye said.
Then I remembered that the color of the stone beams on the plank road did not seem to be so dark, so it was not caused by nature, but man-made, so this place was also deliberately abandoned by them, and after thinking about this, I suddenly became cheerful.
"Thank you, Saya."
Mi Ye smiled.
People who go out will come, and as I expected, we will not find anything, it is getting dark, and we have no clue now, so we just spend the night here, there is nothing here, but it is safer.
The campfire was lit, and we sat around and finally had our first decent dinner since we came in.
"Don't hide it, if our resources are not shared in the current situation, then this tomb will not be opened." I said, looking at the exploding sparks.
Everyone looked at each other, and it may not be the strongest on our side, but if we want to deal with us, we will also hurt the enemy by a thousand and damage eight hundred, and the key to open the tomb door is also on our side.
"We only know that there is something we want in it, but we really don't know where this tomb is, otherwise you think you can be here?" Jian Lin Xiu looked impatient.
Indeed, with the strength of their Wu clan, it is impossible to keep us until now, and there is no need to bring us along.
"What's in there?" I looked at the zongzi and asked.
"Since you guessed it, we don't hide it at night, but we are going to resurrect him." Jian Lin Xiu said.
Sure enough, but he cleverly made it impossible for me to ask about the identity of this zongzi. I smiled, this trick is really high.
"And what do you three want?" I turned to the remaining three.
"Of course, it's the pill that makes me normal." The old witch said.
"Live." The Great Witch was a little choked, she had indeed changed since she was fed Gu worms by Jian Hanyi, and now she just wanted to survive.
I looked at the old black, "No." Lao Hei spit out these two words, it didn't surprise me, although he has been protecting the old witch for so long, but he can see that they are not a master-servant relationship, but as for what the relationship is, I can't see it for the time being.
"As for our side, we all need to break the shackles on our bodies, since we all have different goals, then there is no need to fight for killing at night, there are things that can satisfy us, so that we should not use our vigilance and calculation elsewhere for the journey to continue, this trip is to put it bluntly, each takes what he needs, there is no need for you to live or die." I said.
Jian Lin Xiu couldn't help but applaud, "Our witch blessing is really heartbroken for us, since this is the case, don't hide it, let's say, what information does it have for the mausoleum." ”
Jian Lin Xiu's eyes swept over everyone, and finally left his gaze on our faces.
There was still no one to speak, and I didn't know what I was worried about, and I couldn't find the entrance, and all my thoughts were in vain.
"Forget it, let's figure it out." I understand that people are thinking that they may be able to save their lives at a critical moment.
I found a place to put my backpack down, intending to squint for a moment.
窸窸窣窣~
There was a small sound in my ears, and I was awake in an instant, but I didn't wake up right away, but pricked up my ears and listened carefully.
窸窸窣窣~
Supposedly there are no other animals here but us, or is it true that the animals here only move at night?
I pretended to turn over, a witch guard and Lao Hei were keeping vigil by the campfire, and the rest of the people were already resting, and no one on our side was keeping vigil, but there was no need for that. You won't have trouble with yourself.
窸窸窣窣~
The voice came again.
I sat up suddenly.
Two people at the campfire quickly spotted me and were about to stand up and ask me.
"Shh~" I stopped them and listened carefully to the movements around me with my ears pricked up.
The sound seemed to come from the woods outside the city walls, and although it was very soft, it was particularly unusual in the silence of the night, and it sounded like someone dragging a long rope through the leafy woods.
"Did you hear that?" I asked in a whisper.
The two shook their heads, "Strange, you guys come here to try." ”
I thought it was because of the location, but it didn't seem to be, they still didn't hear it, but it was getting louder and louder to me.
I stared into their eyes to make sure they weren't teasing me, and then looked helplessly at the ruined walls in front of me, not knowing whether to go back to sleep or go and see what was going on.
But I still didn't fall asleep after lying there tossing and turning, so I simply got up to keep vigil.
This city of gleaning light is like a dead city buried in this sinkhole, except for the rumbling and pouring waterfall in the distance, which can be said to be lifeless, the trees beside the road are like wilted cabbage, except for those strange plants, here is a dead place, there is a feeling of walking into a deserted village inn.
All this under the darkness was very clear in my eyes, and I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when I imagined what it was once brilliant.
窸窸窣窣~
The voice rang out again.
This time both the witch guard and the old black seemed to hear it, and the three of us turned our bodies in the direction from which the sound came from at the same time.
"I'll take a look." The old black said, he looked at the old witch, but still stood up.
"I'll go too." I hurriedly said.
The sound came from behind a pile of rubble, and I flanked both of them, and I took my dagger in my hand and walked around it.
There was nothing in the empty field, but the sound of rustling did come from here.
The two of us looked at the empty field and were about to turn back, when the voice sounded again.
I immediately stopped, my back resting on Lao Hei's back, and it seemed that the two of them could not be separated for a while.
