When Zuo Dengfeng left, Thirteen had already run out of five miles, and after landing, Zuo Dengfeng chased after him, and finally chased Thirteen five miles away from the complex, and then extended his aura to catch Thirteen into his arms, he had nothing, if Thirteen had another accident, he would be completely crazy,

Thirteen was not honest after being captured by Zuo Dengfeng, and screamed loudly to break free from his embrace,

"Be honest." Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand and gave Thirteen a slap, this slap made Thirteen honest, although he looked extremely angry, he didn't dare to forcibly break free,

Zuo Dengfeng saw that the thirteen were no longer struggling, so he shifted his gaze to the front, at this time he was less than five miles away from the huge building complex in front of him, and it was really clear from a close distance, there was an ancient city in front of him, covering an area three times the size of a border town, surrounded by a city wall as high as Zhangxu, there was Guo Cheng outside the city, the outer ring moat, the city gate was open to the south, the suspension bridge had also been put down, the buildings in the city were mostly buildings, because there was a city wall to cover the whole picture of the city, but according to the architectural style of the city, It should be an ancient city in the Qin and Han dynasties,

Although it is night, you can still see that those pavilions in the city are inlaid with a large number of gold and silver ornaments, which is unreasonable, because even the imperial palace will not be decorated with gold and silver on the outside, in addition, if the buildings of the Qin and Han dynasties are preserved today, there will definitely be traces of damage and weathering, and this ancient city has no signs of weathering at all.

Although the city was dead silent, the city did not look eerie, but the gold and silver ornaments on the towers in the city glowed seductively in the night.

Stopping outside the city for a moment, Zuo Dengfeng didn't see anything abnormal, but Thirteen kept roaring and demonstrating in the direction of the ancient city, Thirteen can distinguish yin and yang, it can see things that humans can't see, at this moment Zuo Dengfeng thought that the poison derived from the Jiuyang monkey can make people hallucinate, is this also the case in this ancient city,

After hesitating for a moment, Zuo Dengfeng finally decided to leave, this matter has nothing to do with him, it has nothing to do with him, it is not about himself, or it is better to go,

Thirteen saw Zuo Dengfeng turn back, and let out a scream again to express his dissatisfaction,

"If you don't obey again, I really don't want you anymore." Zuo Dengfeng reprimanded Thirteen loudly, Thirteen has a problem, no matter whether the opponent has beaten or not, he will rush up to demonstrate,

Thirteen saw that Zuo Dengfeng was really angry, and immediately wilted, Zuo Dengfeng rarely reprimanded it so harshly, it was worried that Zuo Dengfeng would really not want it,

At this moment, a breeze blew, and Zuo Dengfeng keenly smelled the residual smell in the wind, this smell seemed to have been smelled somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while, anyway, it was better to leave here,

Back to the place where the camel team rested, Ye Feihong and the others were waiting for it, and only then did they breathe a sigh of anger when they saw him come back, he was the backbone of everyone, if something happened to him, the dragons would be leaderless,

Zuo Dengfeng looked back and found that the ancient city was still in place and had not disappeared.

"How long does a ghost town usually last?" Zuo Dengfeng put down the thirteenth chong Ye Feihong and asked,

"Not necessarily, sometimes it's a little longer, sometimes it's just a stick of incense, what did you just see." Ye Feihong replied,

"It is a city in the Qin and Han dynasties, and you can see from the outside that there is a lot of gold and silver inlaid on the platform inside, but this is not logical, I suspect that the ancient city is a trap, and those gold and silver ornaments are the hooks for fishing turtles." Zuo Dengfeng said,

"Drink saliva first." Ye Feihong took the water bag and handed it to Zuo Dengfeng,

Zuo Dengfeng thanked him, and quietly sniffed Fang and drank a few sips, and the caution had penetrated into his bone marrow.

As the two of them spoke, the city in the distance disappeared, and it disappeared very suddenly, as if it had never appeared at all.

"The walls of that ghost city and the buildings in the city are not made of stone, but are made of rammed earth, which is your architectural habit here, and the buildings in the city are not very similar to the architectural style of the Central Plains." Zuo Dengfeng sat down and spoke, his words were for Ye Feihong and for himself.

"That's right, ghost towns are only in this area." Ye Feihong said,

"You don't understand, the population was small in the Qin and Han dynasties, and even the city in the Central Plains was not large at that time, and the ghost city had three small towns, which could be regarded as a very large city in the Qin and Han dynasties, such a big city must have been recorded in your local historical materials, I have seen the appearance of the city clearly, but it is a pity that I did not carry the history books, otherwise I should be able to find out the origin of the city." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head slowly,

"If it has nothing to do with us, don't think about it anymore, it's not too early, let's rest early." Ye Feihong diverted the topic,

Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, and sat down next to the sand dunes again, and Thirteen ran to his side and lay down when he saw this.

Zuo Dengfeng and Ye Feihong rested on the back of the dune, those soldiers were on the east side, it didn't take long for the soldiers to fall asleep, Ye Feihong also fell asleep after the child's time, only Zuo Dengfeng closed his eyes and recalled the previous smell, because the distance was too far, the smell was very ethereal, but there was no doubt where he had smelled it before, it was not a bad smell, nor was it an aroma, but a smell that he had smelled and had not heard for a long time,

Zuo Dengfeng only slept for one more time and was awakened by the sound of Ye Feihong getting up, the best time to travel in the desert is from early morning to ten o'clock in the morning.

Everyone was lucky, this trip did not encounter a storm, got up early and hurried, and finally arrived at the abandoned ancient city eighty miles south of the dead forest in the evening.

After coming to the ancient city, Zuo Dengfeng first checked the cellar where the giant scorpion was held before, and then looked around the ancient city, it has been a month since he left, during which the desert has blown strong winds, and there are no traces to observe,

Ye Feihong checked the well again and dried up completely.

When they arrived here, they had reached their destination, and they cleared an area of the city, unloaded the dry food and water from their camels, and set up camp for the night.

"It's time for the camels to drink, what if there is not enough water." Ye Feihong walked to the front of Zuo Dengfeng and asked, Camels can go without drinking water for up to seven to ten days under the condition of carrying heavy loads, and they may die of thirst if they are long.

"How far is the nearest water source from here?" Zuo Dengfeng asked, these two hundred or so people consumed more supplies than he imagined,

"It's three days round trip." Ye Feihong stretched out his hand and pointed to the southwest,

"Feed them less water first, and tomorrow you will take the camel team to drink water, and then come back with as much water as you can." Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a moment and said, he is more lenient to livestock than people, and if he can, he will try not to kill them.

"It's fine." Ye Feihong nodded in agreement,

Although the ancient city has been abandoned, there are ruins and broken walls to block the wind, after everyone settled down, they collected firewood and wanted to make a fire, but they were stopped by Zuo Dengfeng, which is only eighty miles away from the dead woods, and it is very likely that the fire here will be detected by the Yin fire snake.

Not only did he stop everyone from making a fire, Zuo Dengfeng even made a loud noise, clearly telling everyone that the target was eighty miles away in the north, and it was a big snake, as for how big Zuo Dengfeng did not tell them,

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Feihong drove the camel team south to find a water source, Zuo Dengfeng assigned two machine gunners to follow and protect, these soldiers have been with him for many days, Zuo Dengfeng also noticed that several of them have good character, and the two who followed Ye Feihong are definitely honest people.

After Ye Feihong left, Zuo Dengfeng began to plan the next move, here is eighty miles away from the dead forest, these soldiers walk in the desert, they can only walk seven or eight miles per hour, it takes ten hours to reach the dead forest, it is six o'clock in the morning, and it takes four o'clock in the afternoon to reach the dead forest at the earliest, and it will start to get dark at six o'clock in the afternoon in autumn, and it will be very unfavorable to oneself as soon as it gets dark.

Pondering again and again, Zuo Dengfeng decided to rest for a day, the next time the fourth watch set off, a few days ago just after the full moon, to the fourth watch there will be bright moonlight, even if the moonlight is attacked by the Yin fire snake, it will not be black in both eyes, the fourth watch will set off at about ten o'clock in the morning, there are seven or eight hours to level the dead woods,

"Zuo Zhenren, when will Miss Ye come back?" Zuo Dengfeng frowned and thought about it, when Zhao Cannon walked over,

"I can come back in three days, and when I come, I consume too much water, and the remaining water is not enough for everyone to drink on the return trip, so I have to replenish it." Zuo Dengfeng deliberately raised his voice, the big war is coming, he must give everyone confidence, he wants to let these soldiers see the hope of going home,

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, these soldiers laughed out loud, they were not stupid, they knew that they drank too much water when they came, and if they didn't replenish it, they would be panicked.

"Let your brethren have a good rest today, eat and drink enough, set out in the middle of the night today, and start tomorrow morning." Zuo Dengfeng said to Zhao Cannon,

As soon as Zhao Cannon heard this, he immediately went to convey Zuo Dengfeng's order, and the soldiers were also afraid of fighting at night, and they would be much more courageous during the day.

During the day, everyone rested in the abandoned ancient city, and Zuo Dengfeng did not take the lead in checking the situation, not only was it useless, but it was also possible to expose everyone's whereabouts.

In autumn, there are generally more north winds, and Zuo Dengfeng is staring at a grass wool on the broken wall all day, lest he change the direction of the wind, the north wind is blowing southward, which is beneficial to them, in case it becomes a south wind, it will blow north, and then it is possible to send their smell to the dead forest area, if the Yin fire snake catches their smell with a snake letter, it will be guarded,

After anxiously waiting for a day, the night came again, Zuo Dengfeng left ten people left behind, and left the ancient city with a large army to march towards the dead woods, each carrying their own equipment and two days' dry food,

Although these soldiers were not regular soldiers, they were still very quiet when they were marching, thirteen drove the poisonous insects in front, and the people followed in two columns, and the march was relatively fast at night, and there was no danger along the way, and at nine o'clock in the morning, everyone finally arrived in the dead woods......
