"Dead ...... He's dead? ”

My heart sank, my whole body swelled, and my head suddenly became a mess. "How did you die?" I exclaimed.

Didn't you say to go to the gold pit? Why did they all die in just a moment?

"They fall into a trap of 'only in but not out', and there is a chance that they will not survive." The young man's answer was very simple, and the expression on his face with a slight smile on his face remained unchanged.

Damn, I was anxious when I heard this, and I said in my heart what should I do? I was tricked by them, and now I have no equipment on me, and I have lost my shoes, and in the middle of the night, the ground is full of rats, flying snakes, and big-eyed boys...... It's a miracle that I was able to survive the previous few hours! I don't know how to die in the future.

I suddenly thought of the girl again, and felt that she was a little pitiful, although she was very tricky and hateful, but at the age of the flower season, it was a pity that she died like this.

But then I thought about it, no, since everyone fell into the trap, why is this guy in front of him so good? There may be something wrong with this, and it seems that I can't trust all his words, so I have to keep an eye on them.

"Do you want to come with me?" While he was hesitating what to do, the young man suddenly said, "If you are left here alone, I am afraid that you will not live tomorrow." ”

I wondered what he meant by this, that I was alone in this meadow, and that I was indeed dead and lifeless. But could he have a plan? But then I thought that he should at least be no danger to my life, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to save me. And there didn't seem to be any extra way to choose at the moment, and this young man's skills obviously forced me to break a lot of bulls, so I stood up with a slap on my thigh.

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

I followed the young man in three or two steps, scratching my head embarrassedly, "You're pretty good." If I am in danger again, will you be able to save me again? ”

"Hehe," the young man looked at me and smiled, "yes." ”

"Thank you, thank you, I think you are more reliable than Uncle Meng and them, let's take care of each other."

Young people don't speak. I noticed that he always had a polite smile on his face, like a mask, and it was difficult to see his inner thoughts through his face. On weekdays, this kind of person is the type I am not good at dealing with, because it is very painful to have nothing to say, so we didn't say a word, and we fell silent.

After walking for a while, I realized that I was a little disoriented, so I looked around and asked, "Is this the way back?" How doesn't it feel like it? ”

"I can't go back yet," said the young man, shaking his head, "I still have some things to do." ”

"What......?" I screamed, almost reciting it in one go. I said, what are you doing in this place?! At the moment, of course, the most important thing is to escape. But the young man shook his head, as if he didn't care, he walked very fast, and in a blink of an eye he left me far away. I was timid in this place, and I had no choice but to follow suit.

I slowly learned that the young man's name was Rong Feng, and he was actually younger than me. When I asked him what he was doing and where his home was, he wouldn't answer. Rong Feng said that he wanted to do something, in fact, I expected that the place he was going to must be Xuanyuan Ancient City, but I didn't expect his method of entering the city to be so special - he didn't go through the main gate, after passing the moat, he went along the city wall. Seeing a stone drainage channel in the distance, he ran over, removed the stones from the fence on the drainage channel with his bare hands, and got into it.

"What is this doing?" I asked out loud.

"You can't walk through the main entrance, it's too dangerous." Rong Feng's voice came from the drain, "Hurry up, we've been delayed for a long time!" ”

At the moment, I was very upset, and I didn't know what to do. I hate the feeling that there is no way back, as if someone is cornering you with a knife in the back, and you are a dumb person who has no chance of negotiating with the other party.

"What about people?"

“…… Here it comes! ”

I took a deep breath, took off the shoe as well, pulled up my trouser legs, and went barefoot into the drain. In fact, it is very risky to do this, because poisonous tongues and poisonous insects are mostly hidden in invisible places, and walking barefoot is equivalent to wiping weaknesses and exposing them to these animals, which is a very stupid behavior, but I didn't think much about it at the time, these are all things I learned about after turning the book.

In front of me, there was a lot of mud at the bottom of this drainage channel, and I felt cold and uncomfortable when I stepped on the mud one foot deep and one foot shallow. When the wind passes through the drain, it makes a "whining" sound, like someone crying, which can't help but make people feel creepy. After walking for a while, it was completely dark. Rong Feng took out a flashlight and shone it ahead.

I saw that it was about a hundred meters before the exit, and the fence at the exit was pregnant, just like the fence we had destroyed before, and the stones were scattered all over the ground, and even the wall of the top wall had collapsed in a large piece.

Somehow, I always felt like it had been broken by something huge, because there was a deep crack in the top of the drain, and a lot of stones had fallen into the drain.

I cautiously followed Rong Feng, and under the light of the flashlight, I suddenly saw something shining in the mud of the drainage channel not far away.

"Beware!" I whispered.

Xiao Rong was obviously more cautious than me, he was holding a flashlight in one hand and touching the handle of the knife on his waist with the other.

Walking over, I looked at the mud, Xiao Rong and I were stunned, only to see that in the black mud, there was a metal watch, the strap was broken, the metal part had decayed, but the glass of the dial was intact, reflecting the light of the flashlight.

Xiao Rong picked up the watch and handed it to me.

"Do you know this?" He asked.

I said how could I know it, this watch looks very ordinary, although it looks brand new, but the style is very old. How did it end up here? It can't be the girl and the mole man who fell behind, right?

"Somebody's hiding here and here." Xiao Rong replied, "Let's go." ”

I asked what I was hiding, but Rong shook his head.

I thought to myself, this is quite important, if the person who left this watch is hiding, it is the thing that knocks down the wall, then what are the chances of us surviving...... I do the math, and it seems to have dropped a lot.

Walking out of the drain, we finally came to the interior of Xuanyuan City, it was still dark at this time, and we couldn't see too far, but the moment I got out of the drain, the scene that appeared in front of me was enough to shock me for a lifetime.

The city must have been abandoned a long time ago, and the wide streets were deep in the darkness, and the stone houses were lying upside down. The masonry cracked, and plants grew wildly in the ruins. Some of the plants grew taller than the city walls, and their thick roots bulged out and mounds of earth on the stone path. In the distance, there was a firelight flickering in the darkness, and I didn't know what kind of light it was, a little bit, flickering and dimming, and it looked very uncomfortable.

If you get closer, you'll find some beautiful patterns carved into the stone walls of these buildings, many of which are traditional Chinese motifs, such as dragons, birds, and lotus flowers...... There was also a strange ornament on the stones, which I had never seen before, an animal with a human face and a snake god.

I thought to myself, isn't this Nuwa Niangniang? Nuwa is such a lovely god-man, but this animal has only one eye on its face, and it is the same mold as those "big-eyed boys" seen in the meadow, which is really difficult to worship.

"Brother Yang, let's go!" Xiao Rong was urging there, and I immediately followed him.

Xiao Rong seemed to know very well what he was going to do in this city, and he didn't hesitate to move forward, very fast.

I thought to myself, he must not be taking me on the line on the phone that the girl showed me! Because the "green road" was almost straight after entering Xuanyuan City, and the road that Xiao Rong took me was constantly turning left and right. Therefore, his destination is most likely not the gold pit.

What the hell is he going to do?

I remember that the ruffle man once said that Jing Lianhong once found the elixir of life in this Xuanyuan Ancient City. Could it be that Xiao Rong's target is that?

At the moment, I didn't bother to care so much, and I said to hurry up and accompany him to finish the work, so we can go back quickly. It doesn't matter what he wants to do, saving his life is the most important thing.

Nothing to say all the way. I dragged my injured leg and felt tired again after a while. Although the wound on his body was coated with Vaseline given by Xiao Rong, it was slightly soaked with sweat, and it was still stung and itchy. The socks were worn out with several holes and covered with mud, and they couldn't be worn anymore, but it was better than being barefoot, so I put up with it and didn't care about it.

Around the streets we passed, every building was black, like a huge mouth, waiting for the prey to eat itself. The plants obscured the sky and the sun, barely showing a little light, and the moisture spread out and filled the air, cold and damp.

"Wait a minute!" Halfway through, Xiao Rong suddenly stopped, "From now on, you must watch your steps and don't fall into those holes." ”

"What hole?" I hurriedly asked.

Following the direction of Xiao Rong's finger, I saw that under the light, there were dark holes on the ground. Each hole is about three or four meters wide, and it is not known how it was formed.

"Hold the flashlight for you." Xiao Rong shoved the flashlight into my hand.

Isn't that appropriate? I thought to myself, "Can you see that?" ”

"Pretty much." Xiao Rong nodded and took the lead. I was worried that he wouldn't be able to see clearly without a flashlight, so I hurried to follow him to help him light it.

Even though Xiao Rong had warned me, I couldn't help but look inside as I passed through those holes. I saw that this cave was very strange, and it seemed that there were huge bronze containers inside. The container was turquoise, with a smooth surface and strange, shiny tentacles in the depths, and I couldn't figure out what it was for.

What surprised me even more was that as I approached, I could smell a nice smell wafting from the cave. The fragrance is extremely sweet, like bee candy, like the fragrance of fruit, and it seems to be a little sweet of osmanthus. I was so curious that I wanted to go to the edge of the cave to see what was inside, and it could smell so good, but as soon as I took two steps, Xiao Rong grabbed me.

"If you can't go, if you go, you'll die!"
