Time goes back to the night before.

After Lisa and her party finished discussing and resting, they rushed to the place where the pillar was located overnight according to the direction of the map.

At night, the Gobi is full of stars and fills the night sky, and there is not much wind and sand.

Halfway to the location of the pillar, a sudden burst of fire illuminated the pitch-black red earth in the distance.

Lisa, who was walking in the front row of everyone, suddenly stopped, with a puzzled expression, and then reached out above her head and signaled everyone behind her to stop.

I saw Lisa suddenly turn around and glance at everyone, "Everyone take a rest in this place, there seems to be some movement over there, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Then, he turned to Cun Mang and said, "Help me take care of them, I'll go and go back." ”

Several of them also seemed to notice the fire in the distance, and understood that Lisa would not be untargeted, and there must be a reason for doing so.

So they nodded together.

Cun Mang said: "Don't worry, leave it to me." ”

Lisa nodded to the crowd, and then disappeared into the night.

The firelight in the distance was in front of a high ground, and there were cacti standing nearby.

Lisa hid her breath and jumped behind a cactus closer to the firelight, sticking out her head to observe quietly.

I saw a bonfire lit up all around, and there were more than a dozen people sitting around the bonfire.

Behind these people, there were five or six tents.

At a glance, it can be seen that this is a medium-sized mercenary group resting here.

In fact, the reason why Lisa came over to take a look was because she knew that there were few missions in this desert, and there were many mercenary groups gathered in this desert recently, and the reason was naturally that they all came for the treasures of the underground imperial city.

The treasure of the underground imperial city is opened once in a hundred years, and the specific location is not very clear, and it is rumored that the people who enter it can rarely come out alive.

But human greed is sometimes more terrible than anything else, and the allure of treasure completely dilutes the danger in it.

All the mercenary groups that came to hunt for treasure, without even evidence to confirm the existence of the treasure, were willing to believe that this treasure existed, and were willing to venture into the underground imperial city to hunt for treasure.

The reason is very simple, these mercenary groups are just for money, and they go to live a day of licking blood from the knife and completing various dangerous tasks.

And the entrance to the treasure of the underground imperial city, which is opened once in a hundred years, many people can only encounter such an opportunity once in their lifetime.

Take an adventure, if you can come out, you don't have to continue to be a mercenary, and you can live comfortably in the future.

Compared to those dangerous mercenary missions, it is still much more cost-effective.

And Lisa knew about this situation, and deduced that the people here came to find the treasures of the imperial city, so she came to observe and see if she could get the location of the entrance to the underground imperial city from these people.

I saw these people gathered around the campfire, some eating canned food, and some chatting.

At this moment, a short-haired man in a brown cloak, sitting slightly back, raised his head and drank the water in the sheepskin bag in his hand, and then threw it into the bonfire, which made a violent noise.

The noisy crowd was immediately quieted down by this movement, and they all put down what they were doing and set their eyes on the person who made the movement.

At this moment, the short-haired man glanced at everyone, and a small but powerful voice came out of his mouth: "Okay, let's be quiet, let's discuss the next step." ”

Not far away, Lisa, who was hiding behind the cactus, saw this scene, and a smile appeared on her face covered under the cloak, which seemed to have come in time.

The short-haired man's gaze fell on a thin man sitting not far in front of him, and asked, "Mondo, are you sure your map is true?" Our group of brothers have traveled thousands of miles from the Cold Moon Empire in the extreme north to the Baichuan Empire for this treasure. Tomorrow will be the day when the treasure will be opened, but don't miss anything, otherwise how will you explain to your brothers. ”

Mondo was stunned by what he said, damn, there was not enough time, it wasn't for Lao Tzu to ask Xiao Er of the Dawn Hotel in advance, how could you get here.

It is much better to have a map at least for everyone to have a purpose, than for everyone to ramble around aimlessly, and now it has become Lao Tzu's responsibility.

But he only thought about these words in his heart, but he said with embarrassment: "Your Excellency, Commander, don't worry, this map was sold to me by John, the junior second of the Dawning Hotel, and he also said that this map is absolutely genuine." But it's not cheap, it cost me four gold coins!"

"You think, this Dawn Hotel has been doing business in this desert area for a long time, and it is impossible to sell fakes to deceive us mercenary groups, otherwise it will be discovered by our people, and it will be impossible for them to open the hotel until now!"

When the others heard him say this, they all nodded, as if they thought it made sense.

However, I saw the short-haired man slanting at him, picking up a piece of sand and smashing it hard into his face.

scolded in his mouth: "Idiot! You fucking said that Xiao Er sold it to you, and Lao Tzu had already figured out his own way!"

"Brains are a good thing, but unfortunately you don't have them! If you bought this map from the shopkeeper, there must be no problem. Think about it yourself, what does Xiao Er have to do with the Dawning Hotel, if something goes wrong, then Xiao Er runs away, who are we going to?

The sand on the gravel was spreading all over his face.

Mondo covered his face, and after listening to the short-haired man's abuse, he said with a look of grievance: "But Your Excellency, the commander, many mercenary groups have bought maps from Xiao Er, if it is fake, wouldn't that Xiao Er have deceived many people." ”

After hearing this, the short-haired man didn't even think, and subconsciously picked up another piece of sand and stone, and was about to smash it at Mondo again.

Mondo was almost frightened by his raised hand, and hurriedly stretched out his arm to cover his face, as if trying to preserve his handsome face.

As everyone knows, he is now a panda eye.

However, the short-haired man had just raised his hand and suddenly stopped in the air, "What did you say?

After hearing his words, Mondo took away his face-shielding arm.

Then he looked at the short-haired man who was startled, and said suspiciously: "Yes, Your Excellency the Regiment Commander, is there any problem?"

I saw the short-haired man put down the sand and gravel in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "If there are many people who buy it, then there is another story." There is a good chance that this map should be true, otherwise so many mercenary groups have been deceived, go to them together, even if they have a backstage, this matter is not good for their reputation. ”

At this moment, Mondo looked at him with wide eyes, and scolded angrily in his heart, damn, the emotional Lao Tzu has been beaten in vain, can you, the head of the pen, be reliable.

A burst of laughter came out, and everyone laughed naturally, as if they were not surprised by the head of the regiment and what happened in this living treasure.

And Lisa, who was secretly observing from a distance, also pursed her lips and snickered.
