When I woke up, I found myself lying on the edge of the exit from the clearing. I settled down and saw Linglong, Scholar, Lao Xu, and many guys from the Cao family lying on the ground, unconscious, while the fourth master, Ah Shun and a few others were sitting on the side and talking about something.

"Fourth, fourth master, what happened, why am I here? Scholars, what's wrong with them? I asked.

"Ah, Xia Ye, are you awake?" Arley's face appeared in my field of vision.

"Hmph, you almost killed the eldest lady and the scholar just now." Ah Shun held back my look.

"What! What's going on?! "I asked the fourth master.

"I don't know. Just now, Ah Shun and I analyzed that this place is very evil, maybe there is some magnetic field, or there are hallucinogenic things in the air inside the stone house, in short, everyone who enters the stone house gradually loses consciousness and enters a fantasy state. Many people were tricked and fought each other. If we hadn't discovered and knocked you unconscious in time, the consequences would have been dire. The fourth master said to me.

Holy shit, the people of this chieftain tribe are bad enough. Got this dastardly trick against us. Later, I thought again, the bad guys may be us, if we live honestly at home and don't come to covet other people's ancient cities, how can we be tricked? Fortunately, we were acting separately at the time, and some of the fourth master and some of them did not go with us to search for those stone houses, otherwise it was likely that there would have been heavy casualties.

I smoked a cigarette, settled down, and thought: The fourth master will usually be with me and Linglong, this time Lao Xu proposed to enter the stone house for investigation, and the fourth master wanted to speak at that time, neither stopped us, nor did he go in with us, did the fourth master have any ideas. In short, since the fourth master and we were separated from the hospital, he has been mysterious, as if there are many things hidden from us. Although the fourth master will not harm us, then why would he hide anything?

I was smoking a cigarette and thinking nonsense, when Linglong, Scholar and Lao Xu all woke up one after another. When I finished describing to them what had happened, they were in a cold sweat. This place is too weird, it is really not suitable to stay for a long time, everyone has unified their thoughts, and the top priority is to find the bronze box and the antique treasure that the Cao family needs, and then leave here quickly.

Everyone had regained their strength and spirit, and when they were about to explore the depths of the ancient city, gunfire rang out in the distance, and there was no doubt that the people of the Oni Clan were in trouble.

The fourth master said that this is an opportunity, everyone should hurry up, get close to the ghost clan, and check their situation.

So everyone packed up their equipment and immediately hit the road. The sound of gunfire echoed everywhere in the ancient city, and it was difficult to hear the exact location. At first, the gunfire was still very dense, but later there were only sporadic sounds, and it was not known whether the enemy was repulsed or the people of the Oni clan were wiped out.

I ran ahead with the crowd as I watched. The founder of this ancient city is very unusual, the planning and design is very layered, the main road and the side road intersect, and the magnificent stone buildings are separated on both sides of the road, which is both symmetrical and beautiful. As I got closer, I was able to discern the source of the gunshots, which were basically coming from the front of the wide main road of the ancient city.

The fourth master suddenly made a gesture to stop advancing, and then let us all lie in ambush in the corner of the building on the side of the road.

We had just taken hiding, and sure enough, we saw people from the Oni Clan running towards us from a distance ahead. I vaguely saw them running backwards and turning back to shoot into the air. But there is nothing in the sky, are they also hallucinated?

The scholar whispered to me, "Fuck, Mr. Xia, something is wrong." Look at the deflated threes, like headless flies, running around and shooting at the sky. Feelings, this is to learn Houyi. ”

Linglong touched it and said, "Brother Nan, there is indeed a problem. Look at the last few of the Oni people! ”

I took out my binoculars, and sure enough, I found an anomaly! The group of people of the ghost clan were running slowly, and they slowly floated into the air! And his expression was extremely painful, almost letting out a terrible scream. The other expressions were also horrified.

What the hell is in the air!

I adjusted the focus of the telescope, but I still didn't find anything. But those of the ghost clan who were pulled into the air by the mysterious power suddenly cracked in the air. Yes, that's right, it's the whole body that is torn apart, as if it has been torn apart by something in the air. Blood was sprinkled on the ground like a fountain.

The others were running as hard as they could, and one of them, who had been running in front, suddenly started to turn back again. I looked in the binoculars, and it was actually Atu!

I saw Ah Tu keep waving the machete in his hand into the air. The rest of the people won precious escape time in Atu's desperate counterattack, and they all ran wildly. They are getting closer and closer to where we are hiding.

I secretly took out the dagger, and if the Oni found out about us, it would inevitably be a fight. But Ah Tu suddenly greeted, and the people of the ghost clan all turned towards a small alley on the right.

After a while, there was no sound. The fourth master beckoned us all to come out, and everyone walked cautiously along the road. The ground was littered with human limbs and debris and puddles of blood, making me gag.

The fourth master suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed, and we looked in the direction, there was nothing on the ground. The fourth master let us take a closer look. I looked at it for a long time before I saw it. There's a lot of stuff on the ground! It's an eagle-like thing, but it's very special, and its body is exactly the same as its surroundings. These eagle-like things appear to be dead, but they are completely integrated into their surroundings, and even if you look closely, you can only see the outline of this thing.

Lao Xu reached out and touched one, this one was gray all over, almost exactly the same as the stone bricks on the ground. When Lao Xu brought the corpse of this thing into his hand, a change appeared! I saw that the part that Lao Xu was holding in his hand immediately turned into the color of his skin, and the part hanging in the air changed from the blue-gray of the stone bricks to a similar transparent color. If you don't look closely at the outline of something, you won't be able to spot it.

Lao Xu said: "This thing is a new biological species, maybe there are stress substances in the cells of the fur, just like the skin of a chameleon, which can change with the change of the environment." However, the cells of this thing change much faster than other organisms known to be able to change color. ”

The scholar took it and looked at it: "Fuck, I touched this thing's mouth and claws are very sharp, what the hell is this thing?" Hey, Lao Xu, is it true that in the scientific community, the new species discovered can be named by the discoverer? It's the first time we've discovered it, right? Let's give them a name, what are they called? This thing looks like an eagle and a falcon, so let's call it a ghost falcon. What do you think? ”

Everyone ignored the scholar and was still thinking about what happened to the ghost clan. The fourth master said: "This thing seems to be a carnivorous bird of prey, and it is estimated that it is also an ancient creature, in addition to its fierce habits, what is even more terrifying is that their discoloration almost makes them invisible." ”

Linglong said, "This thing... What's it called, Brother Scholar? Ghost Falcon, right? Where did this ghost falcon come from? Shall we go the other way? ”

Ah Shun said: "What are you afraid of, we have guns!" ”

"Don't keep carrying a gun at every turn, don't you see that the people of the ghost clan also have guns?" The scholar pouted.

"Hmph, those guys are all trash. And they were attacked suddenly, without knowing the situation. And we all already know the habits and characteristics of this thing, and we are ready to not suffer! Ah Shun retorted.

"This kind of thing is probably used by the ancient tribe of the chieftain to guard the city. In ancient times, many tribes would breed and domesticate some fierce beasts to fight and protect the tribe. Legend has it that the two tribes of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and Chiyou drove tigers, leopards, bears, wolves and other fierce beasts to fight. Lao Xu said.

I asked the fourth master if he took a detour. The fourth master thought for a while and said, "Where there are traps, there are often treasures. Let's just follow the main road, everyone be careful. ”

So the procession moved on. Before leaving, I took a water bottle out of my backpack, poured half of the water, then held my breath, picked up a broken arm from the ground, dripped the blood that was still gushing out into the bottle, and carefully changed the lid. Only then did he get up and catch up with the crowd.

Continuing along the main road of the ancient city, there is a corner not far away, turn left along the way, and a stone building much taller than the surrounding area will appear. Everyone was stunned again! Because of this building, this building is actually a pyramid!

But it's not the same as the Egyptian pyramids. The stone building is a four-sided building, about a dozen stories high, and the top of the tower is not a spire, but a flat roof, as if a small section has been cut off by a knife. The whole building is gray, with many small windows in the upper part and a door at the bottom facing the road.

The nerves of the crowd have gone numb, there are so many incredible things here. So, when such a pyramid blocked the way, everyone was just shocked, and no one felt that it was inappropriate.

This entrance is closed by two doors, but it is completely open at this time, and I don't know if it was originally this or if the ghost clan did it. The door is densely carved with many symbols, interspersed with many bullet holes. Lao Xu was very angry, believing that the slightest damage to this priceless artifact by the Ghost Clan was a crime. Ah Shun didn't think so, he felt that in front of human life, nothing could be compared. An argument was about to start, and Ali had to settle it on both sides.

I stared blankly at the dark passage behind the door, my mind began to fly, and the voices around me began to blur. Although the mind is beginning to be confused, the mind is still there, keep reminding yourself, wake up quickly! Wake up! I remembered the scene when I first entered this ancient city, in the small stone house on the side of the road. Was it taken by the mind again? I was in a hurry, but my body didn't seem to belong to me at all, and I couldn't feel the presence of my limbs. It's like being crushed by a ghost.

At the critical moment, I suddenly heard a "buzz" sound, crisp and intense, which suddenly pulled my soul back, my mind returned to its place, and my body suddenly broke through the limit and was able to move! Only then did I feel that my whole body was soaked with sweat. I took a breath and saw that the people around me were still the same, or looking at the pyramid, or arguing about the value of artifacts and human lives. Only the fourth master looked at me with deep meaning, as if he had seen through my heart. I panicked, quickly took out a cigarette, lit one, and covered up my panic. The fourth master still stared at me, didn't say anything, and pressed the soft sword on his waist with his hand. I was shocked, the crisp "hum" sound just now, could it be the soft sword of the fourth master? I wanted to ask, but the fourth master ignored me and turned his head to check the pyramid.
