Chapter 64: Trapped in the Ancient City
The second uncle can know that these are not because he is well-informed, but thanks to his grandfather. Grandpa is proficient in medical skills, and he once told his second uncle about many rare treasures in medicinal materials, and this Uznamu is one of the rarest elixirs in the world!
When the second uncle said this, I suddenly became interested, so I asked: "Second uncle, you said that this Uzinamu is one of the rarest medicinal materials in the world, so what other medicinal materials can be compared with Uzinamu?" ”
The second uncle turned his head, looked at me deeply, and then said word by word: "Also, dragon scales!" ”
"Dragon scales?" I was stunned, I seemed to have heard the second uncle talk about dragon scales, I immediately recalled, then I remembered that when I was in the island tomb, the second uncle once mentioned to us that he once got a dragon scale, but he gave it away, so far I think about it, I feel very regretful, how can such a precious thing be given away casually!
I couldn't suppress my curiosity, and asked again, "Second Uncle, who did you give that piece of dragon scale?" ”
The second uncle listened to my words, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, "It's all in the past, don't mention it again!" The second uncle was reluctant to speak, so I could only give up, so I returned to the original topic, "Second uncle, what happened to you after you found Uznamu?" ”
The second uncle took a deep breath and said, "At that time, after I found out that this was Uznamu, I was very happy, this kind of thing is priceless, and many people do not hesitate to go bankrupt for this kind of thing. ”
I asked the second uncle, "Is this so-called Uznamu really that magical?" Can it really be brought back to life? ”
The second uncle shook his head with a smile, "It's not the elixir in Laojun's furnace, if it comes back to life, I think it should be impossible, but it must have a special miracle effect, this should be for sure!" ”
After the second uncle put away these few uznamu, he was in a happy mood, and just as he was about to leave the stone house, he suddenly found that there were a few footprints on the ground at the door!
The sand was very soft, and the shape of the footprints was not very clear, but the second uncle clearly remembered that when he first entered the stone house, there were absolutely no such traces in this place!
Looking at the arrangement of the footprints, it does not seem to be a bipedal animal, but a four-legged crawling one. In other words, it was not a person who left this trace, but an unknown thing that walked on four legs all the time!
The second uncle's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he pulled out the dagger on his waist with a flip of his hand! The second uncle carefully followed the direction of the footprints and found that the traces of the footprints extended all the way to the outside.
Seeing this scene, the back of the second uncle's neck was cold, which means that just now when the second uncle went to pick up or admire Uznamu, something came in from the door, and it was lying on the sand at the door, quietly looking at the second uncle!
The second uncle's brain made up the scene at that time, and he immediately tightened his whole body and got goosebumps all over his body!
The second uncle cautiously climbed out of the door of the stone house, first poked his head out to look around, but found that there was nothing outside. After observing for a long time, the second uncle dared to climb out of the door.
However, the second uncle still found a somewhat strange phenomenon, those footprint marks disappeared shortly after leaving the door of the stone house. This made the second uncle a little incomprehensible, could it be buried by the wind and sand outside? However, at this time, the outside was at most a gentle breeze, and it was impossible to bury the footprints in such a short time.
Now, the second uncle didn't have time to think about it, and while looking around vigilantly, he ran quickly towards the outside of the ruins of the ancient city.
To his surprise, he didn't encounter any danger at all along the way, neither a hidden weapon nor anything to stop him. This made the second uncle can't help but think, could it be that he is thinking too much? No! The second uncle quickly denied his idea, and those who do this line of work must have considerable confidence in their eyesight, so he thinks he will not be wrong!
Seeing that the second uncle is about to run to the city wall of the ruins of the ancient city, only a few meters away from the exit, if it is an ordinary person, he may be relieved at this time, a few meters away, and he has just walked it, he must feel that there will be no danger.
But the second uncle felt that the calmer it was at this time, the more it showed that there was a hidden crisis here. His nerves had collapsed to the extreme, ready for anything that came his way.
As the second uncle expected, just as his feet were about to step out of the ruins, he immediately felt a strange vibration coming from the ground. At the same time, he saw a sudden ripple on the surface of the sand not far away.
The second uncle is indeed not an ordinary character, his heart moved, his body also moved, he jumped up to the side with all his strength, and as soon as he left the place, a big mouth came out from under the sand.
The second uncle was dumbfounded, and before he came back to his senses, the big mouth had already sunk under the sand again. The second uncle struggled to get up, and hurriedly jumped to the side again, and this time, the bloody mouth that came out from under the sand almost bit the tip of the second uncle's toes.
The second uncle didn't dare to run outside the ruins at all, it was a big desert with a flat river, and he would never be able to outrun the thing under the sand, and besides, it was absolutely a fluke that he was able to dodge those two attacks just now. When the third attack will come, or even whether it can be dodged, the second uncle is not sure at all.
The second uncle saw the opportunity and climbed to the ruined city wall next to him. The second uncle felt that even if the monster in the sand, no matter how powerful and fast it was, it seemed that it was only used to moving in the sand and climbing the city wall by itself, this monster would never be able to drill up from the solid city wall!
The second uncle made up his mind and climbed faster. Although he hadn't figured out what to do after climbing the city wall, he finally avoided it for a while!
But some things always backfire, the second uncle thought about climbing the city wall and then making plans, but he didn't expect that he didn't have the opportunity to climb the city wall at all.
He didn't expect that these city walls had already weathered and decayed, and the second uncle had just climbed halfway up, and the city wall under his feet made a bang and collapsed most of it. In an instant, the second uncle also fell down with the fragments of the city wall.
Although there was thick sand underneath, this time it still made the second uncle fall not lightly, and he didn't slow down for a long time. The second uncle's heart was cold, it seemed that he was afraid that he would be in a catastrophe this time. The second uncle closed his eyes and his heart was horizontal, waiting for the big mouth that rushed out below.
But he lay on the ground for a while, but the sand around him didn't react. The second uncle wondered in his heart, what? Gave up on me? Scarred away by my self-inflicted fall?
The second uncle had to get up on his own and look around, and the sand on the ground was calm. "Damn, tease me!"
Wrong! It doesn't seem that simple! The second uncle stood in place, looked at the place where he was attacked just now, and then looked at where he was standing.
Gradually, the second uncle had an idea in his heart, "Could it be that that thing is just to keep me from going out?" But why is that? Could it be that the monster under the sand is empty and lonely here, wanting to keep me as a companion? ”
The second uncle quickly shook his head, "It shouldn't be like this, the things left behind in this thousand-year-old city are not cats and dogs, it has a special mission, and there must be a reason for doing so!" ”
Perhaps, it wasn't itself that thing wanted to stay. The second uncle quickly thought that the key to the problem might lie in those few Uzinamu.
The second uncle himself is a professional inverted fighter, that is, a business that deals with the dead in the tomb, and this situation is sometimes encountered in the ancient tomb. Some artifacts are destined not to be brought out of the tomb. The key depends on whether the owner of the tomb agrees or not, since ancient times, there is no saying that a person lights a candle and blows out a lamp!
Thinking of this, the second uncle took off the backpack on his body and put it on the ground. And he himself walked outside again, and when he was close to the exit, cold sweat was already oozing from the second uncle's forehead, if he guessed wrong, what was waiting for him would be another thunderous blow.
Fortunately, the second uncle guessed correctly this time, and until he walked far out of the ruins, he did not receive any attacks. At this time, the second uncle was a little helpless and unwilling. If it is an ordinary thing, or a more precious artifact, then it will be fine, after all, life is still important, but this time it is the legendary Didan-Uznamu, whose value is absolutely immeasurable.
Anyway, when I heard the second uncle talk about this, I found that his expression was a little strange, it was not the excitement and joy of picking up the baby, in his eyes, I actually saw sadness and compassion. Although this expression was fleeting in his eyes, it had appeared on his face more than once since he mentioned Uznamu.
I wanted to ask clearly, but I didn't know how to speak, so I had to listen patiently to the second uncle to continue.
The second uncle thought about it, turned around and returned to the ruins of the ancient city, and put on his backpack. Walking out of the ancient city but not taking away the baby, with the baby but not out of the ancient city. This situation also made the second uncle fall into an extremely difficult entanglement.
The second uncle found that he could wander around casually with these few Uznamu, as long as he didn't walk out of the ruins of this ancient city. The second uncle's brain was racing fast, trying to find a way to escape.
However, there was an unknown monster lurking in the sand under his feet at any time, which made the second uncle feel like a mang on his back, especially this time the "mang" was still stuck in his foot, which made him restless.
I have to say that the second uncle is really very smart, he actually came up with a way to monitor the whereabouts of that monster.
In the ruins of the ancient city, some plants grow. The second uncle inserted some sturdy straw sticks and branches into the ground scattered, and the second uncle inserted them as deep as possible, so that if the monster under the sand moved, according to the changes of these straw sticks and branches on the sand, he could roughly judge the direction of the monster.
