Chapter 015: Desert Oasis
"Click......
In the vicinity of a small oasis a hundred miles west of the site of the Lotus Rain's birth ceremony, about a hundred people were rushing towards the pond in the center of the oasis with excitement and exhaustion, and the chaotic footsteps all reflected how hungry and thirsty the group of people were at that time!
These people are the poor people who are on their way back to their homes after participating in the lotus rain birth ceremony before, and there is also a man surnamed Li, who is gently holding a golden lotus seed in his palm, and is also desperately rushing towards the pond, through the translucent lotus seed film, it can be seen that there is a lotus born goddess who is sleeping inside.
"Boom......"
"Poof......
Just as everyone was about to rush to the edge of the pool, suddenly, a series of ice arrows shot out of the water, and soon pierced everyone's heart.
"Ah......h
"Not good! Someone sneak attacked! ”
"Protect the Heavenly Maiden! Fast! ”
"Run back! Stay away from the pond! Fast! ”
……
This sudden change immediately frightened everyone. The slow to react was already lying in a pool of blood before he could understand what was happening.
The quick reaction is to dodge while shouting to remind others to pay attention. Especially for a man who has a lotus birth goddess, everyone will deliberately protect him.
However, as the ice arrows became more and more numerous and dense, these unarmed poor people no longer had nowhere to hide.
That is, in less than a quarter of an hour, among these villagers, except for the Li man who had the Lotus Heavenly Maiden, all of them were shot in the heart and fell to the ground and died. The corpses of these dead villagers will soon turn black, rotten and foul-smelling, apparently poisoned.
Then, out of the pond came a frozen black-tailed leafhopper, its tail cocked high, vigilantly aiming at the only man of the Li clan who was still alive.
It's just that at this moment, the man was already trembling with fright, staring at the black-tailed leafhopper with a frightened face, and kept retreating.
"Die! Either promise you and the Celestial Maiden to surrender to my Black-tailed Leafhopper Kingdom forever, and you only have three breaths to choose. ”
The black-tailed leafhopper said indifferently, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a stinger appear on its high cocked tail, and soon an ice arrow condensed outside the stinger, aiming at the heart of the Li man with unmistakable accuracy.
"I ......" The Li man glanced at the ice arrow aimed at him, and then at the Lotus Born Heavenly Maiden in his palm, and he didn't know how to choose.
"One!"
"Two!"
The black-tailed leafhopper apparently didn't have enough patience to wait for his hesitant answer and began to count......
"Good! I promise! As long as you let me and my daughter go, I promise you everything! ”
The Li man finally made a choice, but from his eyes, he could see how helpless and helpless he was at this moment, and he had no choice in order to live with his daughter!
"I hope you will always remember today's promise! Otherwise, you and your daughter will still die with ice arrows piercing your hearts! Go back to your Li family, with our Black-tailed Leafhopper Kingdom secretly supporting you, it is only a matter of time before your daughter becomes the queen in the future. As for the death of these villagers, it can never be said that it was killed by the black-tailed leafhopper, so blame Nangong Mo, the prime minister of your Liansheng Kingdom! It is said that in order to obtain the future queen throne for his Heavenly Maiden, he attacked other families with Heavenly Maidens. I'm going to spy on your every move, so don't try to go back, get me? ”
The black-tailed leafhopper said in a cold tone, and every word was like an ice arrow piercing into the heart of the Li man.
"Yes! Your Excellency the Black-tailed Leafhopper"
The Li man seemed to suddenly understand something, and said with an urgent look in his eyes.
"Haha-"
With a burst of creepy laughter, the frozen black-tailed leafhopper faded away......
……
"Whoosh...... Whew......"
"Woo ......"
"Woo ......"
The village of Yanjia at midnight is very quiet, except for the occasional cold wind whistling by, it is the wailing of wild wolves, and occasionally a few dog barks can be heard.
At this moment, every household has turned off the lights and slept peacefully, because since yesterday, the whole village has been mobilized, and is in full swing to make tedious preparations for the pregnancy of the heavenly maiden, usually busy until midnight to rest, and the next day Meng Meng Liang has to get up and continue to be busy, so everyone is physically and mentally exhausted, as soon as they lie down, they fall into a deep sleep.
In addition, the villages on the edge of the desert have a huge temperature difference between day and night, and usually at night, even cold can freeze.
Therefore, unless there is a major event that needs to be prepared in advance, the villagers here will stay up late with the lamp in hand, and usually rest early after dinner.
What's more, at night in the desert, there will be biting cold winds from time to time, and there are extremely vicious wild wolves, and even some poisonous insects that cannot be seen during the day will fly in groups, so in the middle of the night, no villager is willing to go out.
Not to mention taking a leisurely walk and admiring the moonlight. However, tonight, for the first time, a figure appeared under the moonlight, and I saw that this person was shrunk all over, staggered, and walked into Yanjia Village with a haggard face.
This person is the Linghu Charm who was trapped in the Lotus Immortal Tomb before and escaped by luck.
At that time, when he had just returned to the desert from the Immortal Tomb, the village he vaguely saw was Yanjia Village.
The owner of the immortal tomb slowly disappeared after giving him a very quaint book. Ling Fox Mei thought that after reading this book without a title, he should understand what important things this mysterious immortal tomb owner asked him to do.
Moreover, Ling Fox Mei also decided that this important enough matter to forgive him for accidentally breaking into the immortal tomb and disrespecting the death penalty must not be simple.
Unexpectedly, when Ling Fox Charm casually flipped a few pages, he was dumbfounded!
I saw that there was no expected text on it, but it was completely blank! Ling Fox Charm hurriedly turned many pages quickly, but it was still blank!
What does this mean? The fox charm was puzzled for a while. It stands to reason that the immortals in this kind of immortal tomb are the top existences in the world, and they will not joke easily, let alone be boring to pranks.
So although he was only holding a wordless book in his hand, Ling Fox didn't dare to underestimate it, he knew that there must be some kind of mystery hidden in this book, but at this moment, he couldn't understand it.
In retrospect, when he was in the tomb of the immortals, in order to see the small characters hidden in the word "immortal" on the stone stele, he walked around the stone tablet ten thousand times before the small characters were fully displayed, so Ling Hu Mei had reason to believe that this wordless heavenly book might also have to go through such twists and turns and tribulations before he could see the hints that were useful to him.
He also understood that there was no point in rushing for a moment, and that he could only go with the flow, and perhaps as he walked, this mysterious book would give him some kind of hint.
