Chapter 335: The Underground Palace
Shao Xuan met two groups of people patrolling outside in the Baishi Desert where Baishi City is located, but looking at their absent-minded appearance, he wanted to know the current situation in Baishi City, and according to the information Shao Xuan learned, in the past, the patrols outside Baishi City were far stricter than now, and the patrolling people would not be in such a wilted state as they are now.
However, it is understandable.
For slaves, Baishi City is now a very critical time, the death of the big slave owner means that their biggest master is gone, who will take over, who is about to become their next master, a qiē is not yet determined, and they are also full of worries about the future development.
Evading these absent-minded guards, Shao Xuan also paid attention to some of the creatures around him, such as flying birds, small beasts, etc., all of which could be another "eye" of the people of Baishi City, who knows if there will be people enslaved insects in Baishi City?
When you come to a large rock, it looks like a mushroom with a large umbrella-like roof on top of it, which is because during the sandstorm, the large particles of sand are scraped closer to the ground, and the place close to the ground on the rock is slowly rubbed away, so it is what it is now.
Hiding under this, Shao Xuan doesn't have to worry about being discovered by the birds above for the time being, it is approaching night, and there are no patrols around, and if he goes further, he is almost in Baishi City, Shao Xuan plans to rest first.
After drinking some water and recovering his body, Shao Xuan thought about his plan to infiltrate Baishi City in his heart. Just thinking about it, his brows furrowed, he had been thinking about how to sneak into White Rock City, but the premise was that the sword was in White Rock City, but what if the knife was not there?
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan cut off a section of the reins that had been untied from the camel's body, and he planned to use this rope to determine where the knife was. I don't know if it will work.
After the divination was completed, Shao Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the knot in his hand, read the conclusion on it, and distinguish the direction according to the conclusion above, drew a picture on the ground with his fingers, and finally determined the direction shown. But. This direction is not the direction of White Rock City.
Anyway, Shao Xuan planned to go over and have a look.
It's good that I made a fuss before I sneaked into White Rock City, otherwise it would have been a waste of time.
After changing the direction, Shao Xuan quickly walked towards the direction indicated in the conclusion. Without the help of chirp, Shao Xuan's forward speed in the desert slowed down, but it was not slow.
As he walked, Shao Xuan found that he had already left the Baishi Desert area. At such a critical time in White Rock City, the sword is not in the city. What are you doing when you're running away?
Shao Xuan continued to walk in that direction, and only rested briefly during the night, and then continued to search until he came to a place.
It looks like the rest of the desert, with undulating sand dunes as far as the eye can see, and even if it is relatively flat, it looks like a wind-blown lake.
It's a little windier here. Dust flying.
Shao Xuan looked at a sand dune like a mountain in front of him, and then looked around. I didn't see anything suspicious, but the epilogue shows that it should be around here, so do you want to keep going?
Not only because of the epilogue, Shao Xuan also had a very strange feeling, always feeling that there should be something here.
Keep going. Climbing the mountain-like sand dunes made me feel even more strange.
In Shao Xuan's mind, the "shell" wrapped in the fire flickered. Such a change made Shao Xuan can't help but stop,
Just when Shao Xuan was puzzled, he suddenly heard a soft sound. Although it was the sound of the surrounding wind blowing sand grains. But after Shao Xuan improved, his ear power also increased, and he was able to distinguish other sounds from those noises. It was clearly not the sound of sand blowing.
Quickly lying on the ground and pulling the hood up, Shao Xuan looked in the direction where the voice came from.
The sound was soft in the dust, like the sound of stones moving, cautious, as if the person who made the sound was alert to something.
Shao Xuan lay there patiently, staring in the direction where the voice came from.
The surrounding sand blew on Shao Xuan's body, quickly covering a layer.
Soon, Shao Xuan found that between the two sand dunes in front of him, a gap opened in the ground, and the sand sank down.
The gap opened became larger and larger, and it was not until he could allow one person to go out, Shao Xuan saw a person quickly jump out of it, looked around vigilantly, and found nothing, so he beckoned downward.
Shao Xuan saw that he moved a person out of the open gap, and there seemed to be someone underground helping to deliver it. It's just that when the person who didn't know whether he was alive or dead was handed out, the underground crack was closed.
The man who came out first looked around, and then dragged the man who didn't know whether he was alive or dead into the distance.
Shao Xuan thought about it, and walked along the ridgeline through the cover of the sand ridge, although he couldn't follow closely, but at least he could see which way the person was going.
The man walked some distance and went around to a hill, and then he dug a hole out of the sand in the ground with his hands, and pushed the man into it, and before he buried it, he also stripped all the clothes of the man who had pushed the pit and compared it with himself, and looked like he was going to keep it for himself.
Putting away the clothes that had been stripped off, the sand around them filled the pit, and the man looked around before returning.
Shao Xuan watched the man return to the place where he came out, brushed away the sand that had been covered, and buckled the stone slab down.
The slate was removed, and the man said something to the man below, and went through the open slit.
The slate was closed again, and the wind quickly moved the sand, covering the place, and nothing unusual could be seen.
Shao Xuan wrote down that place, came to the location where the person had just dug a pit and buried people, and when he pushed aside the sand, he saw the buried person.
Before, this person was dragged face down, Shao Xuan couldn't see his appearance clearly, he could only see that it was a person, but now, Shao Xuan found that this person not only had a face but also had many ulcers and necrosis on his body, which looked very scary, and there were traces of bleeding in his nostrils and other places.
Shao Xuan couldn't see how the injuries on this person's body were caused, and there were no tattoos on his face, if there were no festering wounds, he should be a tall and muscular person, in the desert, even if he was a low-level slave, he would be a good laborer.
In that place, what is down there? Shao Xuan was curious. If the sword is here, what is the purpose?
Shao Xuan lurked around and waited, looking for an opportunity.
Around noon the next day, the weather in the desert was hot, and Shao Xuan was still lying on his stomach behind the sand ridge, and his body was already covered with a layer of sand. Not caring about the heat of the sand, Shao Xuan stared at that side, and he heard a little movement again.
Soon, a gap opened again, and another person came out. It's not the one Shao Xuan saw last night, but he did the same thing.
After the other party came out, he also dragged the person to run away, intending to dig a pit and bury people. Shao Xuan's sudden appearance startled him, and before he could speak, he was choked by the throat and his two arms were removed.
Shao Xuan looked at the slave lines that appeared and disappeared on his body, and found that this person was a slave from Baishi City. (To be continued......)
