Chapter 481: Lost

As soon as the fire was raised, a crowd of bow-bearers sat around, and they all stretched out their hands and let out a sigh of comfort, as if they were desperate for the warmth.

"This place is very cold after nightfall, and usually because the heat source can attract those human-faced spiders, it is easy to dare not light a fire."

Probably seeing the look on the faces of the trialists, the man with the bow explained with a smile:

"Most of the time we were on the road, trying to escape the pursuit, so when we had a rare rest, everyone was very relaxed."

The other people sitting around the fire furrowed their brows a little, which could be regarded as agreeing with his words.

The wind 'howled' outside, rolling up the fine sand all over the ground, and passing through the ruined city, which really brought a cold feeling.

It wasn't until this moment that the humanized performance of these people in the face of the fire source made No. 1 and the others really feel like they had encountered a human being.

"Didn't you say that the fire source here would attract the attention of those human-faced spiders and cause trouble?"

Song Qingxiao found a corner and sat down, and the silver wolf slowly crawled down beside her, and before she could lower her head and sort out her hair, Song Qingxiao relaxed her body and leaned on it crookedly.

It lowered its head for a moment, instinctively propped up its forelimbs and wanted to hide, but Song Qingxiao grabbed its head with his hand, and there was no way to escape at the moment, so he could only let Song Qingxiao lean on his back.

Although a person and a wolf have been together for a long time, they can be regarded as having experienced three trial scenes together, but the process of getting along is still running-in.

This gradual intimacy made the silver wolf's body tense at first, but as her hand slowly stroked its head rhythmically, it slowly relaxed, and then adjusted its position to make her more comfortable.

The man with the bow turned his head and glanced at her.

The girl sat by the wolf, separated from several of her accomplices, with a languid expression, and her fine white complexion could not hide even the dust under the faint light of the fire.

Her eyes were gloomy, and the giant wolf she leaned on followed his move of turning his head, and also turned his huge wolf head to stare at him, his eyes were the same as Song Qingxiao's.

There is no doubt that the huge silver wolf is dangerous, but at this time, the scene of a man and a wolf leaning against each other with a similar temperament makes the man with the bow feel extremely compatible.

"The heat of the fire source may indeed attract human-faced spiders." The man blinked, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and explained good-naturedly:

"But we're in a dungeon, it's very cold, and we don't have a big fire, so the human-faced spider won't find it."

When he said this, as if to avoid Song Qingxiao from asking questions further, he added in a joking tone:

"This is also the experience we have learned from countless lessons, so you can rest assured."

He thought that what he said was enough to explain clearly, but as soon as the words fell, Song Qingxiao continued to ask:

"Dungeons?" While she asked, she was still helping the silver wolf tear the spider silk wrapped around her body:

"Why is this place called a dungeon? Could it be that there is still an earthly city? ”

The man at the head of the man was beating his eyebrows, a little impatient, but he forcibly held back:

"Have you come here and know nothing about it?"

"I don't really know much." No. 1 glanced at Song Qingxiao, lest she would provoke people, so he came forward to play a round and said:

"But man, why is this called a dungeon? What the hell is this place? What exactly are those human-faced spiders? Why are you here again? ”

He threw out several questions in a row, but because of the smile on his face and his gentle attitude when he spoke, it gave people a feeling like a spring breeze, which made the man with the bow look much better.

As he said, he'd probably been here for a long time, and it wasn't the first time he'd met a fugitive like the Trialists, so it seemed like he had been prepared for the question of Number One for a long time.

"The reason it's called an underground city is because it was submerged by the sea and sunk to the bottom of the ocean for many years."

His words can be regarded as verifying what he said before when Song Qingxiao picked up the shells, which made No. 1 have a thoughtful look on his face.

"Of course, the reason why it is called this name is because the location of this place is indeed located below the terrain."

The man looked at Number One:

"You came across the lake, and the direction you came from should be on the side of the Grand Canyon, right?"

No. 1 nodded half-truthfully:

"Yes, we crashed in the direction of the Grand Canyon......"

"It is indeed the grave of the ships that have come in......," the man heard him say, and for a moment he lost his mind, and after muttering to himself, he quickly came back to his senses:

"If there's one of the cities that this lady is talking about, it's above the canyon."

Number One sighed, "I see. He sighed and asked:

"And how did you get here?"

"Just like you." It may be that the second photo notebook was recorded before, and the vague words misled him:

"We had been chasing a city that had been submerged under the sea, and after a few years of searching, we finally had some clues and tracked it down to the vicinity of the sea." may be talking about the past, the man's face rarely shows a bit of sadness.

His expression seemed much more real than the unexplained closeness he had when he saw his kind before.

"As we approached the sea, we also received a special set of signals."

The words of the man with the bow may have been related to the clues of the mission, and at the moment, not only the number four, who was sitting by the fire, but also the number two, who was sitting in the other corner, turned his head and stared at the man, for fear of missing any details.

"The direction of the source of this signal is most likely coming from this lost city." The man licked the corners of his mouth and unconsciously clenched his fists:

"We were excited and excited."

The city is said to have been created thousands of years ago, but the movement of the earth's crust caused a terrible earthquake, and since then, the city has disappeared from the world!

In the years that followed, countless people tracked down the whereabouts of the vanished ancient city, but all of them ended without a problem.

Over time, the city became a legendary lost city, and various legends were born.

It is recorded that there used to be gods living here, and after being disappointed with humans, they used their magical powers and left the earth; It is also recorded that the people who lived here before committed unforgivable sins, which caused the wrath of the gods to destroy all life here.

However, some later scholars predicted that this may be a city with an advanced civilization, but because of the changes in the geography of the sea and mountains brought about by the earthquake, this ancient city was hidden in a corner of the deep sea.

Because of this speculation, countless people who want to verify the miracle sail out to sea in search of traces of the ancient city.

The man with the bow and his party were also a group of people with the same purpose, when they worked hard, spent countless energy and time, finally determined the approximate location of the ancient city that sank, and were about to go towards this destination, but unexpectedly received a strange signal from the city, "What does this mean, do you know?" ”

The man's face showed a look that seemed to be fearful and regretful:

"It means that this lost city, which has been buried deep under the sea for many years, may still have the survival of life."

However, with the town falling to the bottom of the sea, it is not possible for humans to live in the sea even if there were humans in the city.

Unless, in the passage of time, these lucky survivors of the earthquake have further evolved in order to adapt to the ocean, forming a new species that is of the same origin as humans, but completely different!

"What a wonderful feeling...... "the man whispered, "but you can imagine what a great achievement it would be if we discovered the existence of this new species and were the first to announce it!" ”

He seemed to remember the events of the past, his emotions were immersed in it, his teeth were clenched, and his body was trembling slightly.

This reaction made it impossible to tell for a moment whether he was frightened or excited.

"So we sailed to the source of the signal, but unfortunately we were caught in a hurricane!"

When the bow-wielding man said this, a thick look of despair welled up in his dark eyes:

"But we wanted too much to find out the existence of this city, confirming the speculation of some ancient scholars, and finally decided to venture in, but we were swept up by the storm and finally entered here as we wished."

His voice trembled a little, as if he was crying instead of crying, obviously the turmoil had a great impact on him back then, so that he still can't calm down when he recalls it now.

"You know the rest of the story......

δΈ€ says:

"You mean, when you came in, you were chased by the spiders?"

The man wiped his face, and with his wipe, his mood seemed to stabilize a lot at once, and he returned to his previous gentle appearance, judging the excitement just now, and replied with a smile:

"Yes."

"Then these spider swarms, could it be that you are referring to the population of this lost city that survived the strong earthquake back then? Because the city was submerged by the ocean, a new species evolved to adapt to the new environment? ”

Number One then asked.

The man's eyes were refracted in the faint light of the fire, and he nodded again:

"Yes."

The story he had told had explained almost all of the questions raised by One, and the man turned his head to look at the fire, where the others had been roasting the fire for a while they were talking, and their faces were much better.

Some of the food was roasted on the fire for a while, and the smell came out.

"Let's have something to eat." He greeted him gently.

As soon as the man's words spoke, several people handed over the food in their hands.

No. 1 and No. 4 were all answered, and when a woman leaned over to Song Qingxiao with food, she obviously felt extra fear of the silver wolf she was leaning on, and when she was still seven or eight steps away from her, she stood on her feet, gestured to hand over food, and did not get closer.

Song Qingxiao stood up, thanked him after taking the food, and the woman pulled the corners of her stiff mouth, and only said astringently after a while:

"No, you don't."

Her voice was unusually hoarse, I don't know if it was because she rarely spoke all the year round, her attitude seemed a little indifferent, and she was not very enthusiastic about her, but strangely she was willing to share food with her.

After Song Qingxiao took the food, No. 2 also took the things.

These foods are palm-sized fish that have been air-dried and hard as stones for easy storage and transportation.

The surface of the dried fish has been burned, and the appearance is not delicious, these people are of unknown origin, and their attitudes are too weird, although everyone has received the food, but no one dares to be the first person to eat crabs, and when the food is unknown, it is easy to put this thing into the mouth.

This is a trial scene, full of dangers, and everyone needs to be much more careful than usual.

Song Qingxiao broke off a piece of fish meat and stuffed it into the mouth of the silver wolf at a sudden speed.

Silver Wolf: ???

Number 1, 2, 4: "......"
