Volume 2, Lost in the Sand Sea Chapter 169, The Old Cat's Secret Words

"Little Brother Chen Tao, tell me, who are you and why do you have the breath of Mongotos!" Ballohard's expression was solemn, and his eyes were staring directly at Chen Tao.

"Mongotos?" Chen Tao frowned, "What is that?" ”

"Mongtos is the guardian beast of the legendary god Nakara, who specializes in devouring the evil spirits of hell!" Sock explained, "You just used its breath to scare away the undead monsters trapped here. ”

"What about Kara's guardian beast?" Chen Tao had a spirit in his head, when they met that big lizard-like monster in that strange underground hall, the old man Takji also once said, what kind of messenger of the god of the underworld is that thing, could it be that Balohad said that?

After thinking about it, Chen Tao asked Ballohad with some uncertainty: "Are you talking about that thing with a head that looks like a flower and burns itself to death as soon as the sun shines?" ”

Hearing Chen Tao say this, Balohard's face changed, "What did you say?" ”

"When we came, we encountered a monster in an underground hall........" Chen Tao briefly told Balohad what happened to his group under the ruins of the ancient city, "Oh, by the way, there is a big night pearl in that place, what a pity!" ”

Chen Tao didn't mention that he had picked up the beads, although now that they were in the same team as Balohad, there was no guarantee that these people would not clean up the three foreigners in order to grab the beads.

You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.

"You went to the Temple of Hades and killed Mongotos!" After listening to Chen Tao's words, except for Haozi and Ye Rong, the rest of the people were stunned.

That's what Tatunan is a legendary thing, and he was killed by the three people in front of him like this?

It took a long time for Balohad to recover from his shock, "According to legend, there are two of them in Mongotos, why is there only one left in the temple of Hades, and the other one is no longer there......

Chen Tao shook his head and didn't answer his question, they really only met that one at the beginning, and looking at the appearance of the hall, it was very likely that someone else had been here before.

Thinking of this, Chen Tao couldn't help but be stunned.

Could it be that Grandpa went to that place too, and killed one of them, Mongotos, and took its bead.....

So later, they also relied on that bead to pass through the Forest of the Necromy?

Chen Tao thought about it and felt that things were a little ridiculous, but there are no absolutes in this world, what if there is really such a coincidence?

If so, where did the bead go? Among his grandfather's relics, he had never seen any strange beads.

"That Takhji who took you there, is he really dead?"

"Well, in order to get that night pearl, he was buried alive in His Highness."

"Well, .......sure enough," Balohard shook his head and sighed.

"You....... Meet Takji? Chen Tao was a little surprised, looking at Balohard's appearance, he seemed to know the old man Takji.

"Well, I know." Ballohad nodded, "He used to be one of us, too!" ”

"What!" Chen Tao was stunned.

That old man Takhji who wants money and doesn't want his life turns out to be a guard!

So is it difficult for Ye Rong to find him as a guide.......

Chen Tao couldn't help but look at Ye Rong, remembering what Ye Rong said to Balohad when he was rescued by Balohad and others before.

Obviously, Ye Rong seemed to know Balohard, and even knew what Balohad wanted to do.

This liar of the special mother!

Chen Tao gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Rong, Ye Rong seemed to have sensed what Chen Tao was thinking, and his eyes dodged unnaturally.

"Takji used to follow my father, and after my father died, he also left the guard, but unexpectedly, he died in the desert in the end." Balohad shook his head with a wry smile, "He doesn't believe in that curse and wants to get out of here." But a curse is a curse, and the Tatunans will never leave this desert! ”

After a little rectification, there were only ten of them left, and each of them was injured to varying degrees. If Chen Tao hadn't scared away the zombie monkeys by chance, it wouldn't be long before these people would have been torn to pieces by those monsters.

Ballohad looked up at the sky, then at the dark Forest of the Dead, looking a little anxious, "It seems that those monsters shouldn't come out again, we've walked three-fifths of the way and we're going out!" ”

"The movement was so big just now, it's hard to ensure that Bruno and O'Lunk have discovered our traces, and then, we have to be on guard." Chen Tao unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a sip of water, and his whole body was aching.

From entering the desert to the present, almost every place he goes, he has to hang some colors, but he can bear it, but the clothes on his body are torn into strips of cloth, the temperature in the desert is low at night, the wind is strong, and he shiveres when it blows, but there is no way.

"At their speed, I think they're already out of the Forest of the Dead and about to reach the main city. With Bruno here, the monsters don't bother them, maybe they've figured we can't get out of here. ”

"Just be careful!"

Everyone simply replenished their strength and set off again towards the depths of the dense forest.

With no zombie monkeys attacking along the way, the team moved much faster, and soon reached the inner edge of the Forest of the Necrons.

Here, Chen Tao can already see a lot of artificial traces. At each turn, you'll see crumbling idols, isolated stone pillars, and ruined unruly fortifications.

"This is already part of the royal city of Tatunan." Balohad pointed to the ruined broken pillars and remnants of the walls and said, "There were many warriors stationed here to guard back then, these are the towers used for lookouts, and when the weather is good, standing on them can directly see the desert beyond the Maze of Maca. ”

In order to gain more time, Chen Tao and the others walked quickly.

It was already the middle of the night, and the dead silence in the Forest of the Dead had regained its silence, and occasionally a strange creaking sound could be heard in the depths, which were the zombie monkeys that followed them and did not dare to come closer.

After a while, there was a clearing in front of me, and in the center of the clearing there was a square stone altar made of huge stones, and a towering stone pillar stood on the stone altar, which was very strangely shaped.

Chen Tao held the torch closer, the surface of the stone pillar was pitted, and there were still some residual patterns and text traces.

"This is the altar used to worship the Forest of the Necrons, and this stone pillar was once engraved with the story of the king asking the god Nakara to create the Forest of the Dead to protect Tatunaan, but unfortunately it is no longer visible."

Chen Tao circled around the stone pillar with great interest, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by a place on the stone altar.

On the surface of a boulder at the corner of the stone altar, there are vague irregular scratches, and if you don't pay attention, you can't see it at all. Chen Tao held the torch and took a closer look, and his face suddenly changed.

These nicks turned out to be the marks of the Chen family!

Chen Tao carefully identified that these nicks were very new, as if they had just been carved by someone, and they were very sloppy, as if the person was in a hurry.

"Little boss, Master Long is trapped in the Garr Cave, there are traitors in their team, be careful of Li Hao!"

This is the code word left by the old cat!

Looking at the marks on the ground, Chen Tao's heart almost jumped out. Finally there is news from Uncle Long!

It seemed that the old cat had already known that Chen Tao was also coming, and it seemed that he had discovered something, so he left a code message to remind himself, and told Uncle Chen Taolong where he was now.

But what did his last words mean?

Be careful of Li Hao?

Could it be that there is something wrong with Haozi?

Originally, Chen Tao wanted to call Haozi to come and see, but he couldn't help but dispel this idea, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

He quietly glanced at Haozi who was walking towards him, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Before, Haozi was captured by Bruno and the others, and the other two guards were killed, but Haozi was only released.

With Chen Tao's hatred for them and Ou Rank, how could they let him go so easily?

And after Haozi came back, what happened to the weird big worm in his mouth?

Although that thing had already been taken out and burned by Ye Rong, Chen Tao always felt that things would not be so simple.

"No, these marks can't be seen by Haozi for the time being, if he really has a problem, he will be alarmed....... Luckily, this is the back, and there are pillars in the way, so Haozi shouldn't have seen what I'm doing. ”

Thinking about it, Chen Tao used the dagger to scratch a few times on the mark representing Li Hao's name at the back, and after confirming that he couldn't see it, he pretended to be very surprised and waved his hand at Haozi who came over.

"Haozi, come here, there's something here!"

Hearing Chen Tao's voice, the others stopped, and Haozi walked to Chen Tao's side in three or two steps.

"Look, it's the old cat who left it, Uncle Long, they're in the Karl Cave!" Seeing Haozi coming over, Chen Tao hurriedly dragged him over and showed him with a torch.

"There are traitors in Uncle Long's team, Uncle Long and they shouldn't know about this yet, we have to hurry up and rescue them!" Haozi looked at those marks, and his brows suddenly furrowed, "Huh? Why is this gone, be careful...... Be careful of what? ”

The last symbol representing Haozi's name in the code was scratched by Chen Tao with a dagger.

"I don't know, you see these nicks are so sloppy, the old cat should have left them in a hurry, maybe he wrote it wrong."

Haozi was still staring at the last symbol with a strange expression, and he didn't mean to give up, and he was still trying to identify it.

Chen Tao squatted beside him, a layer of cold sweat broke out in his palms, and his heart was in his throat.

", what the hell is this?" Haozi stared at it for a long time, and finally shook his head and scolded.

Chen Tao relieved himself and quietly exhaled.

Fortunately, I wasn't seen by this kid.......

"Forget it, maybe he really made a mistake, let's not waste time on this, hurry up to the Garr Cave to save Uncle Long is the first thing!" After that, Chen Tao pulled Haozi to stand up, and walked towards Balohad and the others who came over, "Commander Balow, can you take us to the Karl Cave!" ”
