Chapter 38: No Optimism
Because there are too many things here, and the aliens are ready to move, Qinghe Ancestor can't take care of Li Ran and Heizi, and let the two of them move freely.
It's not so much a deserted city as it is a no-man's land, and apart from the long battle line, there is only reddish-brown soil left.
"How about brother?" Kuroko, who has always been optimistic, didn't have much confidence here, and the two of them stayed here for seven or eight days, and they also had an understanding of the general situation.
"It's hard, if the aliens attack aggressively, it won't last long. β
Li Ran didn't continue, and Heizi didn't understand.
"Hahaha, brother, I can tell you now, my name is Haiyue!"
Looking at Heizi's serious appearance, the sense of oppression in Li Ran's heart was finally eased a little: "This name sounds good and very poetic, but why is it so disobedient to you." β
"I γγγγγγ It's all forced by life.,Originally, I was a guy who loved everyone.,It's not like there's really no way to become like this later.γ β
Kuroko rarely fell in front of his proud name, like a defeated rooster.
"Okay, I'll tease you, but to be honest, if you put on a tall look, I really believe you can charm a little girl!"
"Hey, I'll just say, a young talent like me is really unique in a hundred miles!"
The dull atmosphere came to naught, and the two of them looked at the remnant sun in the distance, and the ancient city at this moment finally made people feel more comfortable.
"Brother, what are your plans?" asked Kuroko, leaning against the wall.
"I just had a little plan before, but now with you, I really have a bold idea, but it is very likely that I will die for a lifetime, do you dare to go on a trip?"
"What are you afraid of, I wanted to go back to Vermilion Bird Star with that little hope before, but now it seems a little ridiculous. Say, what an idea, it's rare to have a bang. β
"Come with me!"
This ancient city is surprisingly large, and his road is complicated, so the two of them have to grope for half an hour before they arrive at their destination.
"Stop, you can't go in!"
In front of Li Ran and Heizi is an ordinary house, a building like this, wherever it is placed, it seems to be the residence of an ordinary family.
But who would have imagined that this place would be the supreme power of this ancient city.
"I'm tired of reporting it, just say that Li Ran wants to see him!"
Seeing that the two of them were sincere, the guards did not make it difficult, and left quickly.
"Two of you, please inside!"
After being led around by the guards, he finally came to the front of a small house.
"What's the matter, little one, is it that I'm not used to staying here or is there something looking for me, an old man, but I'm still a little busy old man. β
There were seven or eight old people sitting in the room, who looked like the same identity as Qinghe Ancestor, all with sad faces on their faces.
"Senior, our brothers have also taken a look these days, as far as the current situation is concerned, the situation on our side is not optimistic, and the most important thing is that the morale is too low!"
Several old men stared at Li Ran with interest, and Li Ran continued: "Therefore, the junior has a bold ideaγγγγγγ β
Seeing that Li Ran stopped, Qinghe Ancestor shook his head: "You stinky boy is quite cautious, don't worry, my old brothers can be trusted!"
"Okay, that kid said it bluntly, I'm going to sneak in, if it is done properly, it will at least cause some trouble for the aliens, and if I am unlucky, I hope that my seniors will help meγγγγγγγ Forget it!"
"Let's not talk about anything else, you infiltrate the aliens and will soon be discovered, they all have special markings, they are easy to spot, and besides, you two can't be allowed to take this risk!"
"Senior, you know what I'm for, to be honest, the younger generation doesn't have such noble ideas for the common people in the world, I just want to pursue something. Besides, I really don't believe that he is a monolith, so I still hope that my predecessors will think about it. β
Several old men frowned, obviously Li Ran's idea was too bold, and no one seemed to be optimistic about him.
"Little one, we know you're kind. But do you know how many of our people have been left there forever, without even bones!"
An old man looked tired, but he patiently explained to the two.
"Seniors, you know better than me the situation of aliens, the reason why they are so rampant must be relied on, can we just wait like this?"
The silence in the hall was terrifying, and Li Ran also knew that a large part of the reason why these old men didn't let him go was because they didn't trust these two outsiders.
"Xiao Li, do you know the consequences of doing this?"
This is the first time that Qinghe Ancestor has called Li Ran like this, to be honest, it is difficult for Li Ran to tell what kind of emotion he has for the old man now. "Xuanyuan Sutra" is such an important thing, the old man gave it to him without hesitation.
"Senior, I know what I'm doing, and if I can be remembered, it's a good thing, what do you say?"
Qinghe Ancestor was silent for a long time: "Okay, I can let you go, but Li Ran I hope you can remember, if there is anything wrong, withdraw immediately!"
"Li Ran understands!"
"Okay, you guys wait here for a moment!"
Time ticked and ticked for a moment, and in the middle of the night, Qinghe Ancestor and a few companions finally walked out with black circles under their eyes.
"The things in this are used to help you escape and conceal your identity, no one knows the specific function, but this talisman is your last life, the speed of two people's words will be slower, but one person's words can come to the entrance in an instant, do you remember?"
Looking at the appearance of several old men, Li Ran and Heizi nodded seriously.
"Alright, I'll take you there while it's night!"
Under the protection of several old people, Li Ran and Heizi came to a completely unfamiliar place silently.
"This is the passage, remember, as long as you find something wrong, come back immediately, we will have someone waiting here!"
"Okay!" Looking at a path that appeared out of thin air that only one person could pass, Li Ran raised his feet and walked in.
"Senior, no matter how strong the fortress is, it can't withstand the toss of the people inside!"
After transmitting the sound to Qinghe Ancestor, Li Ran had already stepped into the passage, and the sunspot also disappeared into the passage after saluting the old man.
"I don't know if it's going to γγγγγγ β
"Don't worry, I believe this little guy can do it!" Looking at Qinghe Old Ancestor's confident appearance, several old men just looked at the other side.
"Now that the matter has come to this point, shouldn't some people clean it up?" Qinghe Ancestor, who was still kind just now, suddenly looked like an angry lion.
"Second brother, do you have to γγγγγγ β
"Eliminating evil is the most useful sentence I have learned over the years, a person who dares to betray even his ancestors and disregard the life and death of his own people, do you think it is necessary to be soft on them?"
What Li Ran didn't know was that on this night, there were many more corpses in this ancient city, and the cries and shouts filled the entire night sky, and it was also at this moment that the Xuanyuan clan finally showed the heritage and strength that an old family should have!
