Chapter 242: The End of the Journey
(One thing I don't understand, who are you?) After the little green man showed Wen Zhong the way, Wen Zhong finally couldn't help but ask.
"My name isn't really important, but if you want to know, it doesn't matter, maybe you can't remember it, my name is Mountain Ghost!" The mountain ghost's voice was soft, but Wen Zhong felt that he must have heard it somewhere.
He asked curiously, "(Mountain ghost?) I seem to have heard it, is this name the spirit of the East? How did you get around me? )
Faced with Wen Zhong's question, the mountain ghost did not answer directly, but persuaded: "You should probably look at the front of you, not my existence, we must solve the matter in your hands, and then discuss how I appeared, now is not the time!" ”
Wen Zhong was stunned when he heard this, obviously it was a little strange that the mountain ghost was suddenly so strong, he didn't understand what the mountain ghost's words meant, and even vaguely understood that she seemed to mean something. He nodded slightly, temporarily putting aside the doubts in his heart, this guy didn't even doubt at all that this guy called the mountain ghost had some purpose, whether he would bring the four of them into the abyss.
The team is still moving forward, but everyone knows that this line of work is definitely a point of no return. But they didn't want to choose and had no choice, in this vast sea of sand and fog, in addition to chasing the footprints of the eagle's head to leave, it was safe, and the way back had already been lost in the direction of return.
In the process of escaping just now, whether it was Akas or Wang Yun, both of them were thrown down because of the fright of the camel, and the only mount among the four people was the camel that Alex rode back. In the spirit of respecting the old and loving the young, Wen Zhong and Akas could only lead the only camel and let Wang Yun and Alex ride on it, heading towards the uncertain future of Hamnata.
Predictably, the atmosphere in this line is full of silence and oppression. Fortunately, on the next journey, there was no ambush again, or someone had already thundered for them. Although I didn't see any corpses along the way, I did see a few weapons and some dark red marks.
Apparently just before a few people arrived, there was some fighting again. The legions of the dead must have captured some people, maybe even had a few battles, and then hurriedly packed up the battlefield and left. The warring sides certainly did not think that just after the battle was over, four more people would pass through this road.
Maybe it's because the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, after seeing these weapons, the atmosphere in the team is even more depressing. Only Wen Zhong silently picked up these weapons, put them in the camel's bag, and then led the camel to move on. Along the way, he picked up three scimitars and four daggers.
If you calculate according to the normal number of people, plus there is no weird guy like Wen Zhong who is used to carrying dual weapons, the team in front has lost at least three or more people, and if you add the weapons that may not be found, the number of people who have lost may even be more than six.
In other words, more than half of the twenty-three people who went to Hamna Tower had already lost more than half of their battles, and they might not even be able to make up ten fingers.
A gust of wind blew, bringing up gusts of sand on the ground, but it did not blow away the fog in front of everyone, but blew the footprints in front of them into a blur. As the team continued to move forward, Wang Yun couldn't help but tighten the mask on her face and said, "Can we still reach Hamna Tower?" ”
"Absolutely! I'm confident! The answer was Alex, an overage twelve-year-old with the appearance of a sixteen-year-old, and his tone was full of determination.
"You're full of confidence, aren't you afraid?" Wang Yun was a little puzzled, she couldn't see Alex's expression as she sat behind him.
"My parents are over there, we are family, we will not be separated!" Alex's words under the mask were a little vague, but his tone was full of determination. Obviously, in his heart, this belief was very strong.
Wen Zhong suddenly understood why he had a good impression of this young man, perhaps it was based on the same belief between the two. Not... That's how it should be!
The team finally aroused a little morale under the words of Alex, an over-aged ghost, and finally stopped being so dull. The road ahead is difficult, and it can be seen that the other team of clansmen may not be so comfortable. After carefully counting the footprints on the ground, the only thing that can be confirmed is that the clansmen in front of them are not so easy under the leadership of the eagle head.
At the very least, in addition to the footprints of two camels on the ground, there are also two people's footprints, so it is estimated that the remaining people may only be 4-6 people. Wen Zhong didn't know how far he was from the City of the Dead, but it had only been less than seven hours since he set out from the camp of the Tomb Keepers, and he had already suffered two-thirds of the casualties.
"God... It's almost on! The mountain ghost still said in the voice of the ancient well, stood up and looked ahead of Wen Zhong.
Wen Zhong, who was originally very annoyed, looked moved, as if he realized something, and couldn't help but look in the direction where the footprints disappeared, leading the camel to speed up and walk forward. Such a change was not very large, but it was enough to attract the attention of the two people on the camel.
"What's wrong?" Wang Yun didn't know what was about to happen, but instinctively pulled out the scimitar.
"Be careful, we look like we're coming!" Wen Zhong had also drawn his scimitar and dagger, looking on guard.
Without asking why, Wang Yun and Alex both took out their weapons, they instinctively believed Wen Zhong, as for the other soy sauce party Akas, who cares? Before Wen Zhong's words fell, he only felt that the sky around him was gradually brightening, but as the sky gradually became gray, everyone saw it, and a blue light pierced through the fog and shot straight into the eyes of the four people.
There is no so-called why and how to do in this world, and seeing this scene, Wen Zhong knew that the plot of the last scene had been completely unfolded. Although I have vaguely guessed that the reason why the plot does not fast forward is because of the need for some important plot foreshadowing. He had also guessed that the final battlefield of this plot might be the battle that began for some mysterious ritual in the mouth of the eagle head.
It's just that he didn't expect that the arrangement of the plot would break everyone up one by one, just to complete the unknown ceremony. I have to say that such an arrangement is indeed unexpected.
As if deliberately for everyone to see, a gentle breeze blew towards everyone. The warm wind drove the cloak on everyone's body to flutter slowly, and at the same time blew away the fog that blocked everyone. Wen Zhong saw the eagle head and his party just a few hundred meters ahead, and he also saw the oasis that Hugh had said not far away, and he saw the blue light slowly rising from the pyramid group...
