As we approached the ancient city, the cry disappeared, and it was like a legendary kraken, deliberately making noises to attract people nearby, and then devouring it in one gulp.

Lu Qingwen, who was more than 20 meters away from the ancient city, parked the car, her eyesight was not as good as mine, and she couldn't see the situation in the city, but she could already see the black bones outside the city, and even the place where we parked had some scattered black skeletons. No one's bones are inherently black, and only those who have been poisoned or absorbed poison for a long time will become so black, which shows that this place is dangerous and abnormal.

When I was scanning the city, Xiaoxue suddenly said, "Look at the corpse over there, does it look like Diao Ye?" ”

Xiaoxue refers to a city wall that has collapsed, there is a dry corpse with its head facing inward and its feet outward, and its face is stuck in the dirt pit, from my angle, I can only see most of the legs, Xiaoxue can only see the whole body in the air, and sure enough, the clothes are the same as those worn by Diao Ye when he left.

Diao Ye left the team and went home in the ruins of Loulan, so far away from here, didn't he go back after leaving and came here?

I walked over quickly, took out the katana and sheathed it and turned the body over, sure enough, it was Diao Ye! His face was dark, his lips were chapped, his sunken eyes had turned pale, and he was still staring straight ahead, like despair and ecstasy, indescribably strange.

Lu Qingwen and I couldn't help but gasp, looked at each other, and Xiaoxue said: "He died of thirst, and before he died, he hallucinated that there was water in front of him, but he almost couldn't drink it, so he showed such an expression......"

This is even more incredible, I gave him enough water and food, how could he not have water to drink? The way back from Loulan is not difficult to find, as an experienced guide, there is no reason to get lost and go in the opposite direction, the only possibility is that he has been controlled by evil things, and he walked here without eating or drinking to die.

So why don't we send it to the door ourselves? Is it possible that all of us are already in the clutches of that evil thing, and that it is impossible to go back to the desert?

The surface of the wall is a large adobe brick, with earth and sand in the middle, which has collapsed badly. The remaining buildings in the city are simple and rough, with a primitive taste, completely different from the style of Loulan and exquisite ruins, plus there are skeletons and dried corpses everywhere, and the dark atmosphere is permeated, and there is a particularly terrifying atmosphere.

There are not only a large number of human skeletons, but also the skeletons of camels, wolves, and wild sheep, which are too numerous to count. Diao Ye once said that there were no animals nearby, not even wolves, and I am afraid that they would all die here.

A loose package next to the skeleton of a camel reveals a shiny silk, proving that it was once an ancient caravan. Another dried corpse with an old rifle clutched before death may have been a soldier or bandit from decades ago...... Traders, outcasts, and explorers who may have been lost in the neighborhood for thousands of years have all died here.

The warning of Daoist Luo Mingzhong sounded in my mind: "Never go near that ghost place!" Although he didn't say what that place was like, it was undoubtedly here, and he was probably the only one who escaped, but he was inevitably going to die.

"You're waiting for me here." I turned to Lu Qingwen and said.

Lu Qingwen smiled miserably: "Do you think I'll be fine if I wait outside?" I'm afraid it's worse if I'm out there alone, and there will be a care for the two of them. ”

It makes sense, unless the evil thing doesn't want to kill us, we can't escape.

I shouted into the ancient city, "Here we are, show up!" ”

Show up...... Show up......

The sound spread far away, and there was an echo out of nowhere, as if there were many people calling in multiple directions, but there was no movement in the ancient city.

I took out the Fire Scale Piercing Dragon Neidan, ready to set fire at any time, and slowly walked forward step by step. Lu Qingwen followed closely behind me and was also ready for battle.

As soon as she walked through the gap in the city wall, Lu Qingwen suddenly said, "Grandpa, why are you here?" ”

I hurriedly turned my head and looked in the direction she was looking, and sure enough, it was Lu Chengshan, holding Lin Mei with my left hand and a sword on Lin Mei's neck with the other hand.

I was stunned, how could Lu Chengshan be here? How could Lin Mei fall into his hands? What does he want to do? I immediately had an irrepressible rage and wanted to rush over and chop Lu Chengshan to pieces. But at the same time, I also have some doubts and resistance in my heart, this can't be true, it should be an illusion.

"Grandpa, kill her, kill her!" Lu Qingwen shouted, and at this time her face also became fierce and vicious, like a shrew, I have never seen her like this. Did she think that if she killed Lin Mei, I would accept her? I hated her to the extreme, and immediately tried to draw my knife and cut off her head.

"It's an illusion, it's an illusion......" Xiaoxue kept saying, but what she saw was the same as what I saw.

My doubts and thoughts of resistance did not disappear, so I held back the anger and disgust in my heart and asked Lu Qingwen, "What do you see?" ”

"Great, my grandfather caught it!"

I immediately sobered up, and then looked at it, where are Lu Chengshan and Lin Mei? It's just a black mist! I hurriedly grabbed Lu Chengwen, who wanted to move forward: "Be careful, that's an illusion!" ”

Lu Qingwen struggled a few times, saw my firm eyes, and came to her senses, and then we were all frightened and scared. In fact, both of us belong to people who are determined and have few greed, otherwise we may have been lost long ago.

I finally understood why Luo Mingzhong committed suicide, maybe after he arrived here, he killed his companion because of his hallucination; It is also possible that in the end, when he wakes up, he still can't tell whether what happened is reality or hallucination, and thinks that he has done something heinous and cannot forgive himself.

When we were in shock, a young man came out of the darkness in front of us, dressed in a Confucian robe, with a bun on his head, and his face was like a crown of jade and eyes like a star, leisurely and chic. Originally, he was a beautiful son, but his body kept exuding wisps of darkness, and facing him was like facing the center of a huge whirlpool.

This person is very similar to the Lu Yu that appeared in my mind when the drought caught me, and he is also as handsome and stylish as we imagined Lu Yu, there is no doubt that he is Lu Yu, but it is definitely impossible to be a living person.

Lu Yu asked gloomily, "Have you two seen my wife?" Why don't you bring her here? ”

I was stunned, when did he ask me to bring his wife over? But on second thought, from the ruins of Loulan to the haze and black air, he was already "calling" us to come over, and the sandstorm giant whirlwind blew us near the ruins of the Houjing Peerless Kingdom and the tomb of the princess, and blew these two places out of the ground, didn't the purpose of wanting me to get the princess out? But how can I guess such a fan? Even if I guessed it, where would I be able to bring the princess who had turned into a drought?

"I ...... She had woken up and left the place. "I was in a cold sweat, but fortunately I didn't kill the drought with thunder, otherwise all of us would have died.

Lu Yu turned pale, with a murderous face, and his body exuded a black aura like a tide of anger: "Damn, I regard you as a confidant, so I entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, but you actually regard it as child's play, you should be killed, you should be killed!" ”

Bosom friend? I understand, we fought the first war with the Japanese, and some of the abilities I showed alarmed Lu Yu, maybe he recognized me as a yin-yang family, with the same roots as him, so he wanted to entrust his wish to me. The next night, when I spent the night in Loulan, he wanted to give me a dream, maybe it was too far away or my defensive heart was too strong, and he couldn't fully convey his meaning, and I thought it was an omen, thinking that Lin Mei was in danger.

Lu Yutuo's dream came true, so he had to mobilize the army and mobilize the crowd, unleashing a large area of haze and black gas to run to the ruins of Loulan. At that time, he broke through the protective shield of Xiaoxue and Xinyu and wanted to communicate with me, but he was forced to retreat due to the influence of the relics and stupas on my body, so he couldn't fully convey his meaning to me......

My thoughts turned sharply, and I was about to explain a few words, but Lu Yu didn't give me a chance to explain, my hands opened and closed in the middle, and the boundless darkness immediately closed like a hundred-meter-high wave, and Lu Qingwen and I were as small as ants.

I understood another thing, Lu Yu was already insane and a madman, so I couldn't fully convey his meaning to me.

A madman is unreasonable, let alone a madman who has been crazy for more than a thousand years! I can't sit still, and I can't cast other spells because of the urgency of time, so I can only immediately gather spiritual energy and spit spiritual fire from between my mouth and nose and inject it into the Fire Scale Piercing Dragon Neidan. The fire of the ethereal spirit swelled, forming the appearance of a giant beast, and its body surrounded me and Lu Qingwen in a circle, and it was not afraid to raise its head to the sky. The black gas also came down at this time, and the whole world became extremely dark in an instant, but when the black gas encountered the flames, it was like a light veil into the fire, and it was immediately incinerated, unable to approach us.

"Whew......"

I heard a roar of rage, like a wolf and a tiger, but not like a man. With this long roar, many black shadows more than two meters high appeared in the boundless darkness, huge weapons, poor armor, red-eyed fangs, and long-haired muzzles, rushing towards me like a wave of rage. These monsters are spirits, but they can be seen as real things, darker than the darkness around them, and that darkness is already darkness and fear that directly affects the mind, not just with the eyes.

These shadow monsters continued to rush at me, putting a great deal of pressure on me, and the range of the fire dragon narrowed, but they were also unable to compete with my spiritual fire, and they melted when they caught fire, leaving nothing behind.

"OMG!" Lu Qingwen exclaimed, but she didn't know whether she was lamenting the horror of the enemy, or lamenting that my spiritual fire was too powerful.

It looks like I'm majestic, but in fact I'm not as optimistic as I seem, and it's very energy-consuming for me to launch a spiritual fire, and it's all spirit and spirit that burns. However, the black qi and shadow monsters emitted by Lu Yu are endless, and I will definitely not be able to fight against him for a long time.

Lu Qingwen also understands this, but she can't help, the enemy is too strong, we are like falling into the sea now, except for my spiritual fire, I can support it, the general method does not work at all, it is good that she can stay awake and not fall into hallucinations.

In just half a minute, I had the feeling of being evacuated, and the aura was a little out of supply. I narrowed the scope of the spiritual fire slightly, gritted my teeth, and threw the last Juyuan Pill that the Boiling Stone Dao Man gave me into my mouth.
