Chapter 4: The Devil's Tree

"Rustling ......"

The moment I turned my head, I was almost dumbfounded, looking at the things that kept passing through the Gobi, I couldn't even speak for a while.

Strange sounds came from the Gobi. There seems to be something moving under the Gobi, and it is extremely fast. At first I thought it was some scorpion or sand snake or something.

And when that thing climbed up from under the Gobi, I was dumbfounded, I was so naΓ―ve.

"...... this?"

After I saw the object clearly, I almost immediately burst out with a swear word: "I x you Malegobi, isn't this a plant?" ”

My eyes were about to fall out in shock.

Really, I don't think there's anything more terrifying than this one in front of me.

What emerged from the Gobi was not a snake and scorpion, but a tree. That's right, a tree that walks. The tree is two or three meters tall and has earthy yellow bark, which seems to be very similar to the Gobi.

The first time I saw this tree, my whole face changed.

"It's a cannibal tree......"

I almost blurted it out.

For a moment, I was at a loss for what to do. The tree didn't seem to move. Really, if I hadn't seen this tree move, I would have almost believed that it had always been this way.

"What should I do?"

Just when I was at a loss, a loud bang suddenly rang out from the depths of the Gobi.

There was a puff of smoke and sand, and an off-road car suddenly drove out of the hazy darkness.

Then I saw that the huge man-eating tree that was confronting me seemed to see something scared, and it actually burrowed into the Gobi at once.

"Rustling ......" fled.

This small buggy stopped in front of me.

Then the door opened, and out came a beautiful young girl.

This little girl was wearing a bright robe, a small hat on her head, and several long braids.

When this girl saw me, she didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Follow me...... My grandmother wants to see you. ”

As soon as these words were spoken. My whole being was petrified almost instantly.

I was confused, thinking to myself that even if you are beautiful, it is useless? I don't know you, and you just asked me to go with you by name? Are you a fool or something?

This Xinjiang girl was stunned when she saw me, and immediately said disdainfully: "You are a big man, are you still afraid that I will kidnap you?" ”

I was embarrassed for a moment and said, "We don't know ......."

"Your name is Lin Xuan?"

"Yes."

The girl said, "That's right." ”

"Are you going to go or not?" The Xinjiang girl's willow eyebrows twitched, and she immediately glared at me: "Are you going or not?" If you don't go, I'm going to tie you up and take you away. ”

Me: "......"

This Nima plays people like this? Really, I feel so embarrassed that a big man was threatened by a little girl, if you don't leave, I will tie you up......

In the end, I obediently got into the car. This person is unfamiliar with the place, and I can only swallow my anger.

Could it be that all Xinjiang girls talk like this?

In the car, I couldn't hold it back, and immediately asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"See my grandmother go to ......"

"Who is your grandmother?"

"My grandmother's name is ...... Parryd"

Me: "......"

"And what's your name?"

Girl: "My name is Moon Cicada." ”

"Nice name."

"A lot of people say that......" said the cicada girl.

I said, "Does your grandmother know me?" ”

The moon cicada looked at me with disdain and said, "Don't put gold on your face. There weren't many people I could get to know my grandmother. ”

I'm speechless, I don't know me, do you see me?

Yuecia looked at me and said lightly: "That's because, somebody knows you in my grandmother's place." Anyway, you'll know where you are. ”

After saying that, the moon cicada stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle roared, like a monster, and disappeared in the Gobi in an instant.

After walking for such a long time, my whole body collapsed, and I leaned back on the car chair and fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long it took for me to feel someone on a mission to shake me. I'm still dreaming, dreaming of being in that ancient tomb in Guangxi.

When I felt that someone was shaking me, I immediately woke up: "What's the matter, Chengyang, is the white-haired dartle chasing after me again?" ”

"What drought? Are you dreaming? ”

I saw a delicate and small face that was very close to me, this face was very white, like a smooth and round jade, very beautiful.

I almost blushed and my heart began to pound rapidly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Arrived? ”

"yes, dead pig. Hum! ”

The cicada snorted softly at me.

When I got out of the car, I saw that a village-like camp was rising in the Gobi, which was quite magical.

"Let's go......"

The cicada urged me out and said, "Let's go." ”

Then the cicada led me to an extremely large tent.

Inside the tent was an extremely old man.

The old man drooped his head and squinted his eyes, until the moon cicada opened his mouth and shouted, "Grandma, the people have been brought." ”

Then I saw the old man who had almost stepped into the coffin slowly opened his eyes and looked at me, and said, "You are Lin Xuan, right?" ”

I touched my head, and for a moment I didn't know how to say it.

I nodded, though.

I remember that the cicada said that her grandmother's name was Parryd. The old man from Parry stared at me with cloudy eyes, and did not speak, and I could see that goosebumps came out.

After a long time, she said, "One of my old friends wants to see you." ”

Saying that, behind the old man, deeper in the tent, a person came out of the tent.

I thought I knew him. As a result, this man was dressed in a capable and energetic suit, with a serious expression, like a veteran.

When the middle-aged man saw me, he smiled and said, "Lin Xuan, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." ”

After this man said this, I was instantly stunned. Doesn't seem like you're familiar with him at all? But he said how long he had been waiting for me here? What are you waiting for me? Is there any purpose?

He seemed to see my doubts, and he said, "It was Lin Changtian who asked me to stay and wait for you." ”

As soon as I heard that it was the fifth uncle, I immediately let out a long breath, it seems that this person is the fifth uncle's subordinate. The heart that had been hanging was relaxed.

"Fifth Uncle, is he okay? Where is he now? I asked, frowning.

"Lin Changtian, he has now gone to the depths of Devil City." The middle-aged man's voice was a little hoarse, as if something was stuck in his throat.

"What?" I almost don't understand the fifth uncle and them anymore. Deeper in Devil's Town? What are you going to do? Didn't you say you were kidnapped?

It seemed like there was something in it that I didn't know about, and I had a vague feeling like someone was manipulating me and trying to pull me in.

"Now that you're here. That's the best. The middle-aged man's eyes sharpened: "Then let's go too?" ”

I subconsciously took a step back and asked, "What's going on?" Where to go? ”

The middle-aged man sneered: "Do you still need to ask?" To the depths of Devil's Town, of course. ”

"Why should I go?" I looked at him and asked rhetorically. After all, I haven't figured out the situation yet, so you told me to go?

"You don't want to save your fifth uncle?"

The middle-aged man's words instantly made my face ugly.

Me: "...... What happened to my fifth uncle? ”

The middle-aged man looked at me and said coldly: "Lin Changtian cooperated with our organization, but our way was a little rude......"

"What are you working with?"

"Take us to the ruins of the Yellow Springs Kingdom."

"What Huangquan Country is fake, you don't still believe that this country exists, right?"

"Huh, fake? Let me tell you, your fifth uncle's rubbing book was sold to Lin Changtian by our organization. And according to the information obtained by our organization, the once glorious Huangquan Kingdom is in the depths of the Devil's City, just under the vast Gobi Desert. ”

The middle-aged man's tone was cold.

"If you don't go, it's okay, and then you can wait to help your fifth uncle collect the body." The middle-aged man said coldly: "And I didn't lie to you, because an ant like you doesn't even have any use value in front of our organization, do you think we will waste time to lie to you?" ”

When I heard it, I felt that it made sense, but I didn't have any use value in myself. And to listen to this person's tone, this organization should be extremely large. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sold such a valuable rubbing.

"It was Lin Changtian who asked me to stay and take you to the depths of Devil City." The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Lin Changtian's request, do you think our organization would take people like you to find the lost Huangquan Country?" ”

Now I believe it, after all, I am the fifth uncle's nephew, and I feel that his old man will not lie to me. There's no reason to lie to me either.

I gritted my teeth and said, "Then let's go, don't rub it in." ”

To be honest, I'm really worried about the safety of my fifth uncle.

Parrydad, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

"The cicada will walk with you. This generation is more familiar to her, so that you don't get lost. ”

The middle-aged man on the side smiled and immediately said, "That's a good feeling." Thank you so much. ”

Due to the urgency of time, a few of us ate some butter cakes in ParrydΓ©'s tent, drank a bowl of butter tea, and left in a hurry.

Walking into the night, we just walked away.

I looked at the moon cicada on the side and asked, "Why don't you drive, isn't that fast?" ”

Moon Cicada smiled mockingly at me, "Idiot. The depths of Devil's Town are just a little ahead. Where you can't drive. It is only possible to walk. ”

"Why?" I'm curious, could it be that there is no road in the depths of the Devil's Town that can be passed by cars?

"You'll know when you get there."

The moon cicada said in a cold tone.

In the night, there was no light, not even the moon. Because the dark clouds overhead were so thick that it was obvious that the moonlight could not penetrate the cotton-like clouds.

We walked silently, and suddenly the cicada on the side shouted: "Look, from here, you can enter the depths of the Devil's City......

The middle-aged man and I looked at the outstretched fingers of the cicada and saw that there were several rocks like the pyramids of Egypt standing in front of us.

These rocks have a peculiar appearance, not as if they were formed naturally, but as if they were artificially modified.

"These rocks really have a different taste." I looked at it and chuckled.

The moon cicada looked at me like a fool, and said coldly: "The depths of this devil city are not like the outside that can be traveled, as long as you step into it, you will lose your life at any time." ”

As soon as I heard this, my face turned blue. I thought to myself, why, just a few rocks, it's different from the outside?

This is simply alarmist.

"Could it be that there is a man-eating devil in it?"

"I don't know if there is a devil, but there are things that are more terrifying than the devil."

As soon as the cicada finished saying this, cold sweat seemed to have begun to break out on my spine.

At this time, the originally calm moon cicada on the side suddenly turned ugly in an instant.

She stared straight and shouted in a sharp voice, "Oh no, no, let's hurry in, or something big will happen." ”

The cicada's voice seemed to be urgent, and I looked at the expression on her face as if it was a joke. Immediately, his brows furrowed, and he asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Moon Cicada: "That thing is coming out......"

"What's that?"

I spoke almost in unison with the middle-aged man next to me.

"It's late, it's already out......"

Then we saw that in the night, a huge dark night was rapidly coming towards us.

Then the middle-aged man raised the miner's lamp high, and he shone forward, and his whole face turned pale almost instantly.

With a "snap", the miner's lamp fell directly to the ground.

"It's ......"

"This is the Devil's Tree...... More terrible than the devil......" The body of the moon cicada was trembling, I looked at her, at this moment she was not as lively as before, like a weak sick cat, pitiful.

I glared at me, "Demon Tree......?" ”
