Chapter Thirty-Eight: Ancient Tribes

The group rode the snake beast and galloped through the air, and soon entered the heart of the desert, where ruins appeared one after another on the ground, and the vague outline of the Hamna Tower was faintly visible on the distant horizon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

While others were enjoying the beautiful and spectacular desert scenery, Liu Minghao kept his head down, looking at the scenery that kept flying by.

Another red shadow flashed quickly, Liu Minghao frowned slightly, it was a red skull pattern, painted on the top of the damaged wall, this was already the third sign he had found, no matter where it was, such a pattern should represent the same meaning - danger.

"What kind of pattern is this?" Liu Minghao looked at the ruins that quickly disappeared from sight, and asked Adesbay beside him.

Adesbay has been constantly correcting the direction of progress, and did not notice the abnormality on the ground, and when he heard Liu Minghao's description, he immediately showed a solemn expression.

"Look, there's one there, too." Another collapsed building appeared in front of him, and Jiang Jie, who heard the conversation between the two, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground.

Everyone looked down and saw a striking skull pattern painted on the towering stone pillar, just at a glance, you could feel an inexplicable eerie meaning.

The pattern is painted in red paint, the color is as bright and dazzling as blood, and it looks like it has just been painted, and it will take no more than three days in the middle of the desert with great wind and sand.

"It's a warning mark." Adesbay's face became a little ugly, raised his head to look at the Hamna Tower, which was already clearly recognizable, discerned the direction, and immediately asked Jiang Jie to command Xiao Hei to change the direction of flight.

"Where are we going?" Jiang Jie patted Xiao Hei's raised neck, looked at the Hamna Tower that gradually disappeared on the horizon, and was puzzled.

"That skeleton is a warning mark of the Wumo tribe." "This tribe is very ancient, living in the depths of the desert north of Hamnata, isolated from the rest of the world, and has never interacted with the outside world except for our Guardians. Their people are extremely few in number, possessing the ability to predict danger, and as far as I know, this sigil has appeared very few times for thousands of years, and is only used in situations of extreme danger. ”

Adesbay's voice was extremely low, and his usually calm face showed a hint of obvious worry, only he knew what it meant for this mark to appear, if the truth was really as he expected, all the tribes living in this desert were afraid of unimaginable disasters.

Everyone could feel the heaviness in Adesbell's tone, and couldn't help but sink in their hearts, Liu Minghao looked in the direction of Hamna Tower, and found that in the sky, there were faint black clouds and mist constantly gathering.

Xiao Hei's speed was extremely fast, all the way forward, and soon a small dark area appeared on the empty sand sea, and as everyone gradually approached, a barrier formed by a layer of sand and fog could be faintly seen.

Adesbay stood on Xiao Hei's body, took out a black bone tooth and raised it into the air, and a faint light immediately flashed on the bone tooth, and at the same time, in the sand mist below, there was also a light that began to flicker continuously, and soon the surrounding sand fog gradually became thinner, revealing a circular gap.

Jiang Jie received Adesbay's signal, and gently patted the back of Xiao Hei's head, Xiao Hei circled in place, gathered his wings downward, and glided in the air by inertia, piercing into the gap like a black arrow.

In the midst of the sand and mist, it is a village of about 10 acres, surrounded by greenery, like a large oasis with abundant water and grass.

As soon as Xiao Hei crossed the sand and fog barrier, the gap behind him quickly shrank and closed, and there was no trace of it, and in the wooden house in the center of the village, someone ran out quickly, waving a red flag in his hand, shouting loudly, guiding Xiao Hei to land in the square on the side.

The little black hovered and landed on the wide, flat square, and the crowd jumped to the ground after Adesbay, and the man with the flag walked over quickly, looking at the huge snake beast with a rather frightened gaze.

Adesbay was obviously acquainted with him, and said hello, but before he could say his purpose, the man withdrew his gaze, "Elder Witch, please come in and talk." With that, he turned around and led the group towards the hut.

There was only one floor in the wooden house, but the space was huge, and there was a bonfire burning in the center of the room, and an old man in a brown linen robe sat beside him, his white hair braided into countless pigtails and scattered behind his head, and strange totems were drawn on his forehead and cheeks, showing a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

Hearing the footsteps of everyone, the old man raised his head, and his slightly cloudy eyes carried an indescribable vicissitudes of life, as if standing in the desert, like a stone statue that had been eroded and pecked by thousands of years of time.

Adesbay stepped forward, put his right hand on his chest and whispered a syllable, although everyone could not understand his words, but they could feel the respect for the old man, and they also bowed slightly.

The old man nodded at Adesbay and raised his hand slightly.

Adesbay walked over to the campfire and sat cross-legged, and the others sat down with him.

Liu Minghao noticed that the old man's gaze was always on Adesbe's body, as if he didn't see anyone else at all, even the middle-aged man didn't get the slightest idea from the old man.

Obviously, Jiang Jie also found the same thing, and the two glanced at each other and decided to remain silent.

Adesbay and the old man used a language that even the well-informed Eve could not understand, and several times they tried to interrupt the conversation between the two, but O'Connor was stopped in time by the quick-eyed O'Connor.

The boring conversation lasted for half an hour before it came to an end, everyone followed Eadesbee to stand up, Jiang Jie pouted a little dissatisfied and walked out of the door, Liu Minghao followed behind him, when he walked to the door, he seemed to be aware of it, and looked back, but found that the old man lowered his eyebrows, as if he had never moved.

Outside the hut, Adesbay didn't give any explanation for this, but told everyone about what he had heard.

In fact, the reason for the matter is very simple, the resurrection of Immorton has fulfilled the curse of insect devouring, and the powerful evil spirit has returned to the world. And for some reason, with the revival of Immorton, a large amount of aura from the underworld has also been released from the Tower of Hamna, and the aura of the undead has enveloped an extremely large area, and is rapidly spreading to all sides, causing a large number of sand monsters to appear nearby.

This kind of monster is extremely lethal and extremely difficult to deal with, in the desert, it can be said that it is an invincible existence, there is no way to eliminate it, in just two days, several tribes have been destroyed, and even here has been attacked, because there is a peripheral sand fog as a barrier, so that the tragedy can be avoided.

Therefore, Wu Lao ordered the people to draw warning patterns on the path leading to Hamna Tower, hoping that no one would approach Hamna Tower and kill themselves.

"Can we use their power?" Liu Minghao looked at Adesbay, that witch elder was obviously very powerful, if he could find a way to win the help of their clan, it would not be a trip in vain.

Adesbay shook his head in embarrassment, "Impossible, the power of the witch elder is indeed very strong, he is the most recent witch sacrifice I have seen so far. However, in the eyes of the Witch Elder the Witch Lord, the interests of the tribe are above all else, even if the Sand Monster destroys all the tribes in the desert, and even if Immorton rules Egypt, he will never leave this place, unless you can find the crown of the god Atum and give it to him. ”

There was another sentence that Adesberg did not say, according to the usual temperament of the witch elder, this time he actually ordered someone to warn him greatly beyond his expectations.

Since there is no hope, everyone will not delay any longer, regardless of the existence of sand monsters, they must also go to the forsaken land as soon as possible.

No substantial help was received, and the crowd was a little disappointed, and just as they were about to leave, the man who had received them walked briskly.

Adesbay immediately greeted him, and the two of them spoke very quickly, and the man handed him the long wooden box in his hand, and hurried away.

Here, Liu Minghao and the others had already jumped on Xiao Hei's back and were ready to go.

With a strange look on his face, Adesbay was pulled up by Liu Minghao and handed him the box in his hand.

"What is this?" Liu Minghao took it and opened the box, and saw that it was a roll of parchment inside, and when he opened it, it was a simple topographic map.

"It's weird." Adesbay muttered to himself, his eyes swept over the map, and he looked Liu Minghao up and down, as if he wanted to see something from him, "This is given to you by Wu Lao." ”

Liu Minghao raised his eyebrows slightly, Jiang Jie and others also came over to watch, and when they saw that it was a shabby map, they couldn't help but show disappointment.

"This kind of thing, the old guy's museum has it, it's all used to pad the table legs." Jonathan reached out and touched the map, dissatisfied, "This kind of parchment, no more than twenty years old, is worthless. ”

Liu Minghao didn't speak, he had been a little concerned about feeling Wu Lao's gaze before going out, and he didn't know what the meaning was.

"You just said it's weird, what the hell is weird there?" Eve asked, curious about the tribe and trying to get something out of Adesbay's mouth, and had been standing beside him just as she heard the whisper.

"Eminem told me that before we arrived, Elder Wu asked him to prepare this thing." Adesbey silently chalded, "He also said that he saw the light of Atum in the darkness." ”

This sentence is said without a head and no brain, and everyone can't hear it clearly, so it is impossible to guess the meaning. Adesbay was also clueless, for him Wu Lao was a mysterious being, never trying to guess his intentions.

At this time, Xiao Hei had already flown out of the sand fog and galloped towards the direction of Hamna Tower, Liu Minghao carefully looked at the map in his hand, although he didn't know what Wu Lao's intentions were, he still firmly imprinted the content on it in his mind.
