Chapter 136: The Ba River
Hearing him say that the river was dry, I suddenly remembered the river monument outside the ancient city, "Is it the Ba River?" I asked.
"Possibly." The little master replied, "Before coming here, we investigated, the Ba River used to be the longest river in the desert, it has been traversing Tengger from east to west, no one has seen its source, no one has seen its end, only know that it has existed in Tengger for a long time, but according to my guess, the reason why the Ba River is so long is because of the continuous erosion of the underground dark river, and after such a long time, it has become longer and longer." ”
I looked at the Ba River sticking out of the aisle like a tongue, and I was full of emotion in my heart, everything in the world really flourished and declined, and there were definitely not a few people who lived around the Ba River at the beginning, but now, only the ruins and broken walls remain.
"To get in?" Lin Zi asked.
"Enter." The little master said, "If we follow the river, we will definitely be able to get out, although the river is underneath, it always has an exposed part, as long as we can find its exposed place, it will not be a problem to come out." ”
"What if the river doesn't show up."
"Yes, there must be, the ruins of the ancient road is on the top of the Ba River, you think that there were so many countries and tribes living around it at that time, how could there be no exposed parts, according to me, the exposed parts of it, it will definitely be called lakes or rivers outside, you must know that generally found such lakes and rivers, the rulers will protect them, the ruins are still there, then there will definitely be a place for it to go out." The little master glanced at us and continued, "It's just that I feel that the chances of running out of here are a little greater." ”
"Okay, then listen to the little teacher......"
"Flash the ......" Suddenly, Lin Zi interrupted my words, took off the expedition bag and threw it at me, I bent down to dodge, only to hear the sound of "Peng", the expedition bag fell heavily to the ground, before I could see what was happening, Lin Zi dragged me over, he said to me with a pale face: "The blood butterfly is coming." ”
"Where, where......"
......Before I finished speaking, I suddenly saw the little master take out a pistol, and at this time, the backpack slowly squirmed, and something flew out of it, this thing was blood-red, it was a blood butterfly.
"Lin Zi, you just smashed a few chrysalis?" I thought that this must have been the fact that the chrysalis had not been cleaned up just now, and the insects in the chrysalis had slowly grown up during this time, so they chased after them.
"Forgot ...... It seems like...... I think there are seven or eight. ”
"I just stoned two bugs to death, how many did you kill?" I asked.
"Don't care how many are left, the top priority is to kill this one first, and then kill one by one." The little master said.
In the time of these few words, the blood butterfly came as soon as it was spoken, it fluttered two almost transparent wings, and flew in front of the little master at once, the little master was really calm enough, he squinted his eyes and kept aiming at the blood butterfly, and when the blood butterfly was closer, he pulled the trigger.
With a "pop" gunshot, the blood butterfly fell to the ground in response, and the bullet passed directly through its body, and it tossed twice on the ground, and finally stopped moving.
"Let's go, I can't stay here." Lin Zi picked up the expedition bag, put it on his back and left.
"Wait......" At this moment, I suddenly saw that the dead blood butterfly suddenly rose red smoke, through this red smoke, I saw that the body of the blood butterfly was slowly sanding, that is, in a few seconds, it turned into a small pile of yellow sand.
We all opened our eyes in surprise when we saw all this, especially Lin Zi, his mouth opened in surprise, I didn't expect the blood butterfly that was still alive just now, just a blink of an eye to say that it was gone, no wonder the Golden City was so clean, it turned out to be yellow sand.
Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of the personal experience that Lin Zi told me on the train, if those who disappeared, their situation is the same, it is really terrifying, in a desert full of sand, only by turning into sand, can it disappear so completely.
"Damn, it's okay if you run into it." Lin Zi said.
"No wonder the little uncle's puppet has red meat sauce and blood water, it turns out that this is ......"
"Don't think about it, hurry up, I always feel that something is not quite right here, you look at the flower roots of those ghost flowers, there are one small insect after another on them, although I don't know what these insects are for, but I think it's definitely not good, we have to go, it is a day to go out early." The little master was also frightened, and almost trembled and said to me.
"Before leaving, I smashed the two stone statues in the aisle, I looked a little panicked." As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zi walked towards the two stone statues.
I wanted to stop him too late, but I saw him walk up to the stone statue, stretched out two hands and grabbed the head of the stone statue, the green tendons on his arms burst out, and he actually knocked the stone statue down with all his might, I didn't expect such a large stone statue to be so light, and it was only one person who threw it down.
The stone statue fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces with a "clatter", and I saw that there was something like black mud mixed in with the shards.
Lin Zi ignored and moved another stone statue, and I also found some black mud in this stone statue, I walked over and picked it up, took it in my hand and asked the little master: "Hey, there is still mud in here?" ”
"That's not mud." The little master replied, "That's a human bone, a human bone that has been dead for hundreds of years, damn, it turns out that this stone statue contains a living person." ”
"No, then why is it placed at the aisle?" I asked.
"This is a sand figurine, specially used to guard the city gate, in the past, it was the guard who watched the city gate, it seems that the Gu carving artist is not small, and he even said that the new city lord used the living people for experiments."
"The Gu carving artist is not small, and the city lord of this golden city is also big enough, and he even uses an underground dark river as an exit." I answered.
"The sand warriors guarding the city gates...... The sand warriors guarding the city gate......" The little master suddenly patted his head and said loudly: "Oh, I remembered, I remembered, damn, it turns out that this is another entrance and exit of the Golden City, and the master reminded me before I came, saying that if I get lost in the city, I will find a place with a sand chong, because a place with a sand chong must be an entrance." ”
When I think about it, this master's reminder to him seems to have some truth.
"Since you are so sure, then what are you waiting for, are you waiting for the blood butterfly, let's go quickly." Lin Zi urged.
