Chapter 30: Dead City in the Desert (Part II)
It's a very large space, and there is a thick layer of yellow sand underfoot, but it's only about a meter around where we fell, and after a few steps on, the sand is no longer visible.
I held a flashlight in front of me to open the way, Xiyang walked behind and observed the situation around me, suddenly, he grabbed me, I said "um", I turned around and wanted to ask him what he was doing, but he covered his mouth and pulled aside, stood against the wall, and then looked at us intently, something seemed to be coming towards us in the darkness.
"Ding-" A crisp metallic sound came slowly.
"Someone." I whispered.
Xiyang motioned for me to silence, I didn't dare to say more, I waited for about four or five minutes, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the darkness opposite, on the head as big as a bathtub, two red eyes radiated a fierce light, a blood-red mouth one by one, the ferocious fangs were exposed, the thick limbs were covered with cyan scales, the fingernails of the hands and feet like eagle claws were sharp and sharp, it could walk upright, or it could be on all fours, and with every step it would exhale a big breath from its mouth, and at the same time make a muffled nasal sound.
This monster seems to feel the smell of life, it stands about three or four meters away from us, squatting like a dog, two front paws off the ground, looking for something in the air with teeth and claws, red eyes like radar sweeping in all directions, Xiyang and I hold our breath, but people have time to hold their breath, I have no professional training, one minute is already my limit, I can't hold it anymore. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out. The monster immediately became alert, and changed its leisurely sitting posture. At this moment, like a tiger, on all fours, looking at the direction of the gunshot, Xiyang and I also took the opportunity to change our breath, and said that the gunshot was really timely. I'm going to have to fight this guy a second too late.
"What is this, it looks weird and scary." I say.
Xiyang shook his head, "I don't know, but it looks like a creature that lives here." Looking at the green scales on its hands and feet, could it be a green horned beast? ”
I said, "What Horned Beast?" ”
Xi Yang just wanted to speak, but he heard a second gunshot, and the bullet passed through the darkness and directly touched me, hitting the stone wall behind me, I shone it with a flashlight, and the bullet penetrated the wall for three points.
The monster was clearly enraged, and followed the sound with its teeth and claws in pursuit. This thing looks bulky, but when it runs, it is not slow at all, and the vibration becomes smaller and smaller as it is underfoot. This monster is getting farther and farther away from us.
Xiyang and I collapsed against the wall, I held the flashlight in my hand, and the flashlight shone vertically on the ground. I took a breath and said, "Let's go." Let's hurry up and find that kid, and go up when we're done. ”
Xiyang smiled. "What are you looking for, he's here."
As I was talking, I saw Jiang Yuan holding a torch arguing with us coming over, I immediately came to my senses, rushed to him, looked at him carefully, fortunately I didn't break my arm or leg, and my hanging heart was also put down.
Xiyang saw that Jiang Yuan was intact, and deliberately said, "You should rest assured." ”
I glanced back at him with a hint of warning, "yes, all three of us are fine, I should be relieved." ”
Xiyang didn't continue to answer my words, but said to Jiang Yuan: "What's the situation over there." ”
Jiang Yuan handed me the torch, then took out a dagger from a black cloth bag pinned to his waist, threw it to Xiyang, and said, "I picked it up in front, you can take a look." ”
The moment Xiyang took the dagger, his face changed, and I couldn't tell his mood at this moment, but I was sure that his heart was on the verge of collapse.
Jiang Yuan walked past me, looked straight in front of Xiyang, and asked tentatively, "Did they leave it?" ”
Xiyang also found a dagger from his boot, I immediately leaned over to look, except for the difference in size, all the other details of the two daggers are exactly the same, especially a hidden totem at the handle of the knife makes me believe in the fact that Xiyang is likely to be a descendant of the lord of Hanjiang, that is, the descendant of the royal family that the Rama Wu clan has guarded for generations.
I was extremely shocked in my heart, but there was no expression on my face, Jiang Yuan saw that Xiyang's face was solemn, so he said: "Your parents should have been here, I didn't see the bones near the dagger appeared, which means that they didn't die here, it is very likely that they went out somewhere else." ”
Xiyang raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "What are you talking about, I don't understand, how could my parents come here, besides, what can a dagger prove?" ”
Jiang Yuan didn't speak, turned around and took the torch from me, and said, "You can go back." ”
After saying that, he turned around to save him, and I immediately stopped him, looked at Xiyang at the same time, and asked, "Hey, which one are you two singing?" ”
Jiang Yuan broke my hand and said lightly: "This is already the range of the Ghost Tomb of Lao Yun Mountain, and one step further, it is the outermost wall of the Ghost Tomb, according to the agreement, you don't have to go in with me, you can get here." ”
When I heard this, I only had a sense of hehe, looked at Xiyang, and said in my heart: "You are paralyzed, it turns out that your kid has been premeditated for a long time." I thought so in my heart, but what I said was: "It's all at the gate, you let us go back, what are you kidding, I'll go in and have a look." ”
Xiyang's face was complicated, but he was a little hesitant to say something, I glanced at him, and continued: "This old Yunshan is a long-legendary tomb, there are countless legends about it throughout the ages, how many people have come in and there is no news, since we have arrived at the gate, how to say it has to go in to see, even if you don't have the life to go back, as long as you see the true face of this old Yunshan tomb, there is no regret in dying." ”
Jiang Yuan looked at me helplessly, but after half a sound, he moved his gaze to Xiyang's body and asked, "What about you, what do you say?" ”
Xiyang put away the two daggers and said, "My agreement with you is to help you find the main location of the old Yunshan tomb, as long as the location is determined, we will share resources, and then organize teams to carry out the next move, but now I have changed my mind." ”
Jiang Yuan smiled coldly and looked at me meaningfully, and I was looking at Xiyang with angry eyes at this time, and said in my heart, look at how you kid explain to me.
Xiyang naturally knew what I meant, but he didn't intend to explain it to me, he just walked over and smiled, "Mingren doesn't say secret words, Dongyuan has been hiding from my parents, as a child, I can't help but check, but don't worry, I won't betray Dongyuan, I just want to find out where my parents have gone and where they are now."
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "As a child, filial piety is right, you don't need to explain this to me, you have your personal freedom." ”
Xiyang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and after a while, a sincere smile appeared on his face, although it was very shallow, but it was indeed sincere.
I said this to Xiyang on the surface, the purpose is to let him not blame himself, in order to track down the whereabouts of his parents, he has to cooperate with Hanhai Company, because he has found out that the last place where his parents appeared is likely to be the old Yunshan generation, so it is understandable for him to do this, but in fact, I also want to say this to Jiang Yuan, I want him to understand a truth, all living beings are equal, no matter where you do things for others, you yourself have to leave yourself three points of leeway, You are not only a way back for yourself, but also a temporary place for your conscience.
