Chapter Eighty-Four: The Ancient City of Lishui
Accompanied by Du Xiaozi, Hong Yuan returned to the ranch not long after, and Ye Rou and Liu Ziqian were already gone.
"Du Die, how is your body recovering?" asked Hong Yuan.
"It's still a little difficult to get started with people, but it's basically okay, thank you for helping. ”
Du Xiaozi bowed respectfully, and sincerely thanked Hong Yuan, his life can be said to have been saved by Hong Yuan, and after eating the Yang Blood Pill refined by Hong Yuan, his wound also healed quickly. The meaning of Hong Yuan's words, Du Xiaozi also understood, "Don't worry, my body and bones are not so easy to collapse, so let my subordinates lead the way, no one is more familiar with the ancient tombs under the ancient city of Lishui than me." ”
"Okay, let's go!"
Hong Yuan is crisp and neat, ringing at noon, this is the most suitable time to set off.
After a brief tidying up, the two left the ranch and headed to Lishui Town, a hundred miles away. The Butterfly King, the Three-Eyed Fox and the Big Fat Cat were all in the Ghost Wood Ring, but the Blood Bat King led a mighty 100,000 bats to follow behind. Most of the ancient tombs are dangerous and unpredictable, and Hong Yuan didn't dare to carelessly bring all the war pets with him.
From Broken Leaf City to Yeosu Town, all the way is a desert. Maybe the news gradually spread, and from time to time along the way, you can see explorers rushing to Lishui Town, including the children of various families in Broken Leaf City, and the masters who came from afar on fast horses, all in a hurry. Hong Yuan didn't compete with them, and when he met the anxious explorers, he let them go first.
According to Du Xiaozi, the treasures of the ancient tombs under the ancient city of Lishui have already been looted, and even if there are still any treasures, they are still in very secret places, and they are full of traps. If you go early, you may not be able to find the treasure first, and it is more likely that you made a wedding dress for someone else, or even died in it recklessly.
When encountering reckless people, Hong Yuan will never compete with them, he is not in a hurry or slow, and he only summons the big fat cat out when he is about to reach Lishui Town. Compared to Du Shorty, the big fat cat is more familiar with the nearby terrain. By this time, the sun had begun to set in the west, and it would not be long before it would be dark.
Lishui Town is not big, just a very ordinary town, but the history is long, there are many unique style of ancient buildings in the town, the whole town is on the edge of the sea, you can hear the sound of waves.
It is rumored that more than 3,000 years ago, people settled in the vicinity and made a living by fishing and hunting, and slowly formed a small town, that is, the ancient city of Lishui. Later, a sudden plague took many lives, and the survivors moved to the vicinity to form a new town, named Yeosu Town, which is different from the ancient city of Yeosu.
From Broken Leaf City to Lishui Ancient City, you must first pass through Lishui Town, seeing that it is not early, Hong Yuan and his party slightly quickened their pace. Before entering Lishui Town, when there was still a mile or two away, a bad smell came from Lishui Town. In the air, there is an inexplicable danger.
Hong Yuan stopped and looked carefully.
There is no living person around Lishui Town, there is a mutilated corpse lying on the ground, between the trees, rocks and buildings, there is an active fierce demon beast, with the head and torso of a crocodile, but dragging a long fish tail, like a crocodile is not a crocodile, like a fish is not a fish. Someone walked over and immediately surrounded him and launched a ferocious attack. The combat power is not very powerful, but the temperament is fierce, and there is an explorer who pierces the neck of a demon beast with a sword, and he still tears off a leg before he dies.
"This is the ancestral crocodile, which is said to be a branch of the oldest crocodile. ”
Du Xiaozi explained, his face a little embarrassed, "I don't know what's going on, I accidentally found the crystal coffin space, and after bringing out treasures such as the Luofu jade pendant and the whip from there, a lot of such monsters suddenly appeared nearby." ”
"In other words, the ancient curse of the ancient city of Lishui really exists?" asked Hong Yuan.
"I don't know, maybe. ”
Du Xiaozi couldn't be sure, looking at the big fat cat standing at Hong Yuan's feet, his eyes were still a little uneasy, "Originally, I thought that this cat demon, known as the guard of death, was the so-called curse, and if he brought out the treasure from the ancient tomb, he would be hunted down by it, but now it seems that it is not." ”
Some things are difficult to explain clearly, or even impossible to explain at all, and Hong Yuan, who seems to be ordinary and low-key, completely subverts some of Du Xiaozi's common sense.
On the Gods and Ghosts Continent, ordinary people are proud to have a war pet, and many masters can't collect war pets, and he doesn't have either; I can't understand at all, how does Hong Yuan control so many war pets, and controls nearly 100,000 vampire bats, no one believes it. Also, if the big fat cat is really the legendary Grim Reaper guard who guarded the treasure of the ancient tomb, but now he has become a war pet by Hong Yuan's side, what does this mean? Hong Yuan is the legendary Grim Reaper?
Du Xiaozi really couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Even if there is really any ancient curse, it is waiting for someone to crack, go!"
Hong Yuan stepped forward and led the big fat cat to walk in front. He was not in a hurry to enter the tomb treasure, but it was getting late, so it was better to move forward after dark to be on the safe side.
Du Shorty followed, took out a hand* from his arms, and prepared to hunt the ancestral crocodile that stood in the way. These guys aren't really powerful monsters, but as soon as they appear, they are a large group, and it is troublesome to be surrounded by them.
Sure enough, the two didn't go far, and a lot of ancestral crocodiles rushed over when they heard the wind, their tails were thick and long, and they looked a little cumbersome, but the speed was not slow, and dozens of ancestral crocodiles poured out at once, revealing their sharp fangs and ready to move.
Hong Yuan continued to move forward, without looking at these reptiles, as there were more and more ancestral crocodiles around, Du Xiaozi became nervous, and was about to pull the mechanism of *, when the big fat cat under Hong Yuan's feet suddenly moved. The fat body walked like the wind, one bite at a time, biting the throats of many ancestral crocodiles. Just by hearing a clattering sound, more than 20 ancestral crocodiles fell in a pool of blood, and the rest quickly fled.
At this time, a cat meow sounded in Du Xiaozi's ears.
The big fat cat didn't pursue, twisted the fat big ass back to Hong Yuan's side, licked his scarlet lips and continued to lead the way in front. There was no hair on his body, and he was bare and exposed with fat meat, which was quite funny in the eyes of outsiders, but Du Xiaozi was frightened, remembering the previous experience of being chased and killed by a big fat cat.
"Du Shorty, if your injury is not good, try to do as little as possible, just leave anything to the big fat cat. ”
Hong Yuan comforted the frightened Du Xiaozi, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, do you still have Azure Sand on your body, and where did you find it?"
"What was found in the treasure of the ancient tomb is gone. However, unlike treasures such as the Divine Whip and the Luofu Jade Pendant, the azure sand is embedded in the walls of various small spaces in the ancient tomb, and some may still be found. Du Xiaozi replied, and only after he finished saying that he felt a little puzzled, "Hey, helper, how do you know that I brought out the azure sand from the treasure of the ancient tomb?"
"I was told. Hong Yuan replied.
Du Xiaozi was even more strange, "Impossible, who is it?"
"A dead man. ”
Hong Yuan continued to move forward without looking back, "He Yadong, the leader of the Lishui Gang, you don't know him, right? He led the Lishui Gang to move out of the nest and moved to Broken Leaf City, not to mention, he also wanted to annex the territory of our Panlong Gang, and as soon as he arrived in Broken Leaf City, he killed dozens of people from the Zhao Mansion. I had no choice but to send them on their way. ”
"Recognize. ”
Du Xiaozi sweated on his forehead, and quickened his pace to follow closely behind Hong Yuan. Of course he Yadong, the leader of the Lishui gang, knows him, he is ruthless and cultivated, and there are a large number of ruthless characters around him, otherwise he would not have robbed him of some of the treasures. Hong Yuan said it lightly, but Du Xiaozi was shocked when he heard it, and he felt more and more that joining the Panlong Gang was the right way, and the deeper he understood Hong Yuan, the more he dared not imagine what would happen if he was hostile to him.
Under the leadership of the big fat cat, the footsteps of the two gradually increased, passing through the lifeless Lishui Town and coming to the ancient city of Lishui. It didn't take much effort to find the dry well that led to the treasure of the underground tomb.
