Chapter 81: The Realm of Stone (I)

Although she was facing an elder, Vikli was still a little impatient, "Let's not talk about those who have or don't, do you know about the 'blood of the elder'?" Any clue will do! ”

The young man took a deep breath and shouted a few words into the old man's ear, Vicky thought that the old man was behind his ear, but who knew that even he himself was trembling with fright.

"Hey, don't even translate the tone!" Vicilico hurriedly stopped the teenager and said.

Really, he said he was a clever child, but he clearly didn't look very smart.

The boy's voice was audible to the others, and they all turned their heads and shrugged at Viklico.

The old man let out a long sigh and frowned for a moment as he said something, and the young man turned his head and translated in Misarean

"I'm sorry, but I have a bit of an impression of the term, but that was hundreds of years ago."

"Alas...... Did you really find nothing? Vicili let out a long sigh. Seeing this, Draenor also felt a little lost in his heart, if even the locals who had lived in Abel for a long time knew nothing about the "blood of the elder king", no matter how hard they tried to find it, it would be in vain.

Just when everyone was discouraged, the old man suddenly stretched out a shriveled finger and pointed to the gap in the distance, and said to his grandson's ear for more than a minute.

The boy frowned, his eyes quickly turned, and he stood up and said to Viklico,

"We Lykos will only refer to the Emperor as the 'Long King', he is not the chief of the tribe, nor is he a warrior, but the spiritual leader of all the Lykos. There was a war in our kingdom, and the emperor was gone, but if you want to find the emperor of the previous generation, it is easy to say...... And then I can't remember what it was. ”

Vicky rolled her eyes, patted the boy on the shoulder and sighed,

"We don't want to ask who the 'long king' is, but where he is!"

The boy was so frightened by Viclico's scarlet pupils that he quickly got into his grandfather's blanket and whispered in his ears like a complaint for a long time.

The old man smiled and reached out to pinch the young man's face, pointing his finger at the rift again and speaking to him.

"Ahh I remembered that although the current emperor is missing, the Lykos have buried generations of emperors in a distant grave, which is a bit rude, but if it can help you, you can also be allowed to visit the tomb! The boy also stretched out his finger and pointed to the rift.

I also knew that the Emperor of the Lycos could not be buried near the Daredevil ruins, and that there must be a long way to get to the tomb he mentioned. Draenor shrugged his shoulders, looked at Vekiriko and asked, "What to do, go see?" ”

"Are you kidding? No matter how far you go, you have to see it! Viciliko shouted at Draenor.

Although the answer is a little vague, it is indeed a clue that cannot be missed, even if the result is still futile, but they must find a way to reach the "grave" in the mouth of the old man.

Moran took out a fluffy bucket from the tent and grabbed it and shook it into the air, revealing a sheepskin map. She pointed to the route on the parchment map, from the ruins to the tower-like building in the upper left corner.

"This is a map we drew on the road, and it's more practical than the antiques you have in your hands. This is the camp, and all the way up to this is what Aboud calls the grave. ”

Vichery pulled out the worn-out map from her backpack and compared the two, the one Moran was holding was clearly more standard. I don't know how many years ago the old scroll left things behind, and you can't just go the wrong way in the desert.

"We still have a lot of maps like this, so take them if you need them." Hearing this, Vikli took the map out of Moran's hand. Moran smiled and nodded, turned and led the camel to the crowd.

"You can take these three camels with you, and we won't be able to pack up and move in a short time. These are two pots of water and some food, not too much, but we can only give you so much. It may not take forty days, but it should be enough to support you to the next oasis. Moran said, hanging the jug and the blanket wrapped in the grain on the saddle of the camel.

"Wait, forty days? Will it take that long to get to this tomb? Draenor trembled with excitement, and there were only twenty days left for him, and it was too late to go to the grave to be buried.

"I didn't mean that, don't you have a compass with you? Thirty degrees west-south, it's Thursday, and you should be there by next Tuesday. Forty days is your journey across the desert to the land of Snowway. Moran quickly explained.

"Also, there are a lot of dangerous animals and natural disasters along the way, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large, so I should still prepare some thick blankets for you just in case." She seemed to be tucking anything she could under the saddle of her camel, much to Vickyly's embarrassment.

Draenor felt like a game of winning or losing, and if he reached the grave and found no clues, he was destined to become a beast wandering in the desert, a death that seemed a little romantic, but obviously a tragic ending.

"It seems that we have only one option. But what you say is like explaining the aftermath, don't you come with us? Vicilico asked.

"I'm glad to meet you, but unfortunately, I'm a little concerned about the Lycos village you spoke of earlier. The jungle is near food scarce and dangerous, they have a large population, and there are children, and I hope to go and see for myself, maybe I can help. ”

Moran smiled and declined Vikirico's invitation, she was right, someone needed to help those who were living in misery, she had helped enough people in this group, and Vikiriko no longer had the luxury of her company, and smiled knowingly.

Vikily can pull out the bottle containing the leech from her bosom, pick up a dead wood and use it as tweezers to clamp the leech's snout. The secretions of leeches prevent the blood from clotting, and with this substance it is better to preserve the blood agent, which was used to catch them for this purpose.

She roasted the empty bottle by the campfire for a moment to sterilize it, then bit her finger and slowly dripped blood into the bottle before sealing the bottle. Although the icy blood potion she made can greatly help improve her physical strength, as Moran said, she should minimize her dependence on blood potions.

"Ah, yes, please take these ...... before you go" Moran untied a cloth bag from his waist and handed it to Viklico.

She quickly hid the vial in her arms and turned to take the bag. I don't know what it was this time, but she untied the cloth bag, but it contained several broken gold coins. She hurriedly pushed the money bag forward, but it was useless, and those captured antelopes were not worth so much money!

"Take it, we're self-sufficient, we need little money. Besides, the money is not Bedouin, it is my own. Trust me, you'll need them in the desert. Moran smiled and pushed the money bag back into her arms.

Vikiriko put away her purse and turned to step onto the camel. With the wave of the reins, the camel once again stood in the camp. They drove their huge camels through the gaps in the camp and slowly drove towards the desert ahead.

"I wish you all a smooth journey! Wuyun is prosperous! Moran's voice came from behind, and Vicilico smiled and waved back at her in good-bye.

Once again, the desert "rafts" are moving, and it is not a good thing to travel at night, but it does speed up the journey.

Draenor pulled the compass from his bosom and walked forward with the group thirty degrees west of the black pointer.

"Ahh Ah, it's freezing enough for me, do you have to leave in the middle of the night? Cooper's voice came from behind him, and Draenor did feel a hint of cold, the desert lost its daylight at night, and the temperature immediately dropped below ten degrees, but fortunately, Jeanne felt a little warm behind him.

Draenor pulled out his pocket watch, and the hour hand was pointing exactly at the Roman numeral "3".

"Don't you have a blanket with food behind you? If it's cold, just hold it, don't eat it. Vicky said with a wicked smile to Cooper behind her.

"I'm a normal person! Like you, two of them have ridiculously high temperatures, and one barely has a body temperature......" Cooper sniffed and scolded at the three in front of him.

Vikili is a little depressed, in fact, the Blood Sect also has a slight body temperature, but it is much lower for humans, almost between twenty and twenty-five degrees. But I remembered that not long after drinking the blood agent on the deck, my body temperature could reach almost eighty degrees Celsius.

However, the desert at night is indeed more desolate than it looks during the day, and the herbivores are far away from the field, and even the nocturnal carnivores are nowhere to be seen, and only the hideous outlines of some plants can be seen around in the night. The cold wind howled through the dunes, making a sound like the wail of the River Styx.

I don't know if it was because of the cold or what, but Vikily only felt a shiver behind her.

"What a 'good' wood, it's a good idea to use these black locusts for Prod cards!" Cooper's foot and neck were stabbed in the neck by the acacia bushes, and he almost jumped up on the back of a camel, and turned his head to the bush and cursed.

"Black locust?" Vickyrie sensed something was wrong, and although she had seen a few plants on the side of the road before, she was sure it was a cactus.

I had the impression that there was only a locust growing on the edge of the oasis, and they had moved much faster than expected, and in less than two hours they were out of sight near the camp?

"Delaenor, look at the compass, we're going in the right direction?" She hurriedly shouted to Draenor in front of her.

I saw him turn around slightly, put his finger to his lips, and whispered to the person behind him

"Shh......h Jeanne is already asleep! I'm sure that's right, you can rest assured! ”

Is it...... It seems that he has an attack of suspicion again, the desert is so big, even if you look at it, you may not be able to remember everything around you, you must be thinking too much. But then again, the past two days have been really tiring enough, and I knew that I would stay in the camp and sleep soundly, so there didn't seem to be anything wrong with that.

Feeling the weariness creeping through her body, Vikiriko took the blanket from under her saddle and draped it over her body, and lay down on the broad back of the camel and fell into a deep sleep.

The cold wind in my ears suddenly stopped flowing, and this sudden silence made people shudder.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......"

Something seemed to be tapping on Viklico's eardrums, and she was woken up by the strange sound, her blanket almost soaked with sweat. It's strange, she's always been a physique that doesn't sweat much, how could she suddenly feel hot on a cold night?

She carefully noticed the movement around her, it was a deathly silence, and the strange sound she had heard before was none other than the sound of her own heartbeat.

At some point, the four-man camel caravan stopped advancing, and everyone fell into a deep sleep, and it seems that only Vikiriko is awake for now.

"Cooper?" She turned back to the dwarven uncle behind her, who was lying motionless on the back of a camel, who seemed to be still asleep, wrapped in a blanket like a baby.

"Cooper! Can't you hear? This guy slept too hard! Vicky stood on the ground with the camel in a rage, but the moment she landed, she seemed to sense that something was wrong, although her body was very light, the sound of the landing was too quiet.

Wake everyone up first, "Draenau, Jeanne!" Don't sleep, where are we now? Her voice echoed in her ears but no one answered, they were less than ten meters in front of them, could it be that when were they drugged?

But when she approached Cooper, she realized the horror of the matter, Cooper did not fall asleep, but lay on the back of the camel without saying a word, his eyes wide open, like a vivid stone sculpture.

"What is this for? Wooden Man Game? You're so spirited! This must be a joke on herself, and Vicky smiled wryly and ripped off the blanket from Cooper's body, and the moment she let go, the blanket stopped in the air as if it had been frozen.

It was not that simple, and she realized that even the camel was frozen in place, its four hooves stretched out in the air, as if urged by Cooper to run forward. But what kind of power can lift such a large creature into the air!?

Feeling a little nervous, she looked down at the ground, and there was a Gobi Desert covered with stones nearby. She hurried to the camel and pulled out the parchment map from under the saddle, but there was no corner marked with such a Gobi.

"Draenor, don't play dead, look at the compass! Are we on the wrong track? Draenor was still unresponsive, and Vicky felt a little angry, picking up the rocks under her feet and throwing them at his camel. Unexpectedly, the moment he got out of his hand, the stone actually floated in the air like a balloon.

No, it's more still than floating! The stone seemed to be stuck in the air, motionless in front of him. She didn't know exactly how it worked, but she knew she should never leave the ground.

She slowly slid forward with her feet on the ground until she was close to Draenor's side.

Perhaps it was too dark to see his and Jeanne's expressions, but they were still on the back of a camel like sculptures. After trying to call many times, Viklico finally realized that no matter how much they called, the other three couldn't move.

Draenor's coat pocket was in front of him, but he had to jump up to get there. Vekily knew that the moment she left the ground, she would become as still as a stone sculpture.

"Damn, what the hell is this place?!"
