Chapter 100: Poplar Forest 3
Urati, who was gagged again, recognized it, no longer tossed, but looked at us with an extremely sincere look, as if there was something important to say, I patted the fat bear: "You take off the towel in his mouth first." β
The fat bear said unhappily: "This old man's mouth is very broken, and he must be crooked after picking it." β
As soon as the fat bear finished speaking, Urati shook his head desperately, signaling that he must not talk nonsense, I saw that he was a little unbearable to be tossed by us at a very old age, so I stepped forward and took off the towel that gagged his mouth.
Urat coughed a few times and said, "Dear Yadasi, please loosen my ties too, Urat is strangled to the point where I can't breathe." β
"Let go, what if you run away?" Mawson, who tied him up himself, disagreed.
"Urati has been brought in by you, so I have to accept my fate, I will definitely not run." Urati said sincerely.
I negotiated with Professor Wu, and felt that this matter itself was not authentic for us to do, and now that Urati has agreed to continue to lead the way, then we have no reason to tie up people anymore, Professor Wu also felt reasonable, and immediately ordered Mo Sen to untie him with his own hands.
After gaining freedom, Urati did not run around, he looked at us with frightened eyes, and then looked at the lizard on the ground that was trampled to death by Mosen, I comforted him and told him not to be afraid, we are not good people, but the basic integrity is still speaking, as long as he can bring us to Wanli City, the promised reward is not a lot.
Urati, on the other hand, didn't seem to care much about the reward at the moment, and he slowly walked towards the dead lizard, his body trembling and his eyes empty.
I saw that he looked a little strange, so I asked him if he was tied too tightly just now and felt a little uncomfortable. Urat ignored me, and when he walked up to the dead lizard, he "plopped" and knelt down. His hands were crossed over his shoulders, and he muttered some incantation.
"What the hell is this old man doing? He shouldn't have been released just now! The fat bear looked at Urati's movements and thought it was very strange.
"Locals usually recite strange mantras when worship is very important, and they use it to purify." Professor Wu talked eloquently, probably having done a lot of local work before coming.
After a while, Ulati slowly stood up and said to us in a tone that dared not speak, "How can you kill the divine messenger of the true God? The gods will inflict sin on you. β
"This old man is babbling all day." Fat Bear muttered quietly.
"You shouldn't have loosened his ties just now! Is this what a lizard is like? The perpetrator Morson was very upset when he heard this.
Urati looked at us and didn't dare to refute, and some words came to his lips and swallowed them back very knowingly. I saw that he was about to speak, so I asked him what was so special about this lizard, and why he was called the messenger of the gods.
Urati sighed and told us that the lizards that haunt the poplar forest are dyed by the death of this black poplar forest, and they are born with a kind of evil nature, and if people are unfortunate enough to see a lizard in the poplar forest, it means that bad luck is coming. The reason why the people in the team he told us earlier were crazy was when they stumbled into the black poplar forest.
Professor Wu is a person who believes in science, he listened to Urati's words and shook his head: "Everything has a cause and effect, we can't be superstitious about legends, for example, I don't think the lizard in front of me has such magical powers. β
Urati replied faintly: "The messenger of the true God is completely capable of controlling our small lives. β
After hearing this, Mo Sen sneered disdainfully: "But just now, I ended its life." β
The corners of Urati's mouth twitched slightly, and he spat out two words: "Really?" β
The next second, I suddenly heard a strange sound, like a baby sobbing, mixed with a strange hissing sound.
"What...... What's the situation? Zheng Tian was frightened by this sudden strange sound.
Moson, Black Axe, and Mitaka had already picked up their guns, loaded their bullets, and were ready to respond to any eventuality.
I looked around, but I didn't find anything unusual, and finally, I fixed my eyes on Ulati and asked him sharply what was going on, and Urati seemed to be frightened, and stayed there and kept muttering: "God forgive, God forgive!" Something like that.
After about a minute, the strange sound gradually faded away, but before we could let go of our hanging hearts, a new situation followedβthe black poplar forest suddenly flew sand and rocks, the wind blew fiercely, and the scattered yellow sand beat on us mercilessly, so that we could hardly open our eyes.
It's changed.
"It was a good day just now, how can you say that it will change?" The fat bear next to me panicked.
"The true God is angry! You shouldn't be here! Urati said dejectedly.
The wind shook the dry poplar trees around them, and the black poplars twisted their branches under the yellow sand, like a group of demons dancing wildly in the chaos.
Those poplar trees originally looked very weird, but now there was a solemn atmosphere around them, and in the panic, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "There is a room ahead!" β
The wind and sand were too strong to make out who was shouting, but I soon saw the house mentioned in this voice, about fifty meters to the southwest. I couldn't help but be amazed in my heart, why we didn't notice such a conspicuous room just now, I immediately asked Fat Bear and Zheng Tian if they had seen that room just now, they were both afraid of the sand blowing into their mouths, so they didn't speak, but their heads still shook like a rattle.
It seems that not only did I not notice, but no one else noticed the existence of this house, which means that this house suddenly appeared when the yellow sand was flying! It's really daylight, could it be that this strong wind is blowing from the rest of the house?
When Urat saw the house, it was as if he saw hope, and he hurriedly beckoned to us: "It is the true God who has let us live!" Everyone, go to that room and take shelter from the sand! β
Do you really want to enter a room of unknown origin? I beat a drum in my heart, so I asked Nangong Han and Professor Wu for their opinions, and they both nodded in agreement.
Well, staying where you are anyway is a dead end, so it's better to go inside and avoid it.
"And what about the camels?" Zheng Tian asked.
"The camel's body structure is special, and it can completely resist the wind and sand in the desert, so it's no problem to stay outside." Urat said reassuringly.
Soon we went to the outside of the house, and when we got closer, we found a few poplar trees that had been blown down by the waist, and then we realized that we had not seen this house because there was a tree blocking it, and now that the tree had been blown up, the house was naturally revealed.
In front of us is a pure stone house, the wind and sand around it are still raging, but the stone house is still unmoving, it seems that this quality is not ordinarily good.
Moson immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door to shout, but to our surprise, the door was not locked, and it was directly pushed open by Moson, and we didn't care about anything else, and entered one after another.
