Chapter 40: Accidental Discovery

The team of more than 200 people had marched into the desert for the seventh day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The vast Tadam Desert stretches as far as the eye can see, and the landscape in front of everyone has changed from a desert of yellow sand to a Gobi Desert full of boulders and gravel.

The soldiers who walk outside the Moxi Pass all the year round look at this scenery, and they naturally cheer and jump, and their rich experience tells them that they are close to the Moxi Province in the east at this moment, and beyond the last Gobi Desert, is the Moxi Xiongguan in the northwest of the vast empire.

Su Ya, who was riding in the team, saw this scene, and saw that she was getting closer and closer to the border of the empire, and her calm mood in her heart did not feel much lighter.

Thinking of this, she looked back at Jose behind her, only to find that the guy didn't seem to react much to this, just sitting on a war horse, but his eyes were looking straight ahead, looking like he was meditating.

This guy, I'm afraid he was still thinking about a mid-level magic that he taught him last night, right?Su Ya couldn't help but shake her head a little amusedly.

Su Ya looked at the empty Gobi Desert at the moment, but she faintly felt a little strange emotion in her heart.

After learning about the situation that night, she would send several scouts every day to explore the road for the past ten days, trying to confirm the safety of the journey.

After all, Su Ya knew very well that somewhere in this desert, there was still a powerful enemy force, and once the two sides encountered, it would be difficult for her cavalry to retreat.

"Stop!"

At this time, a low interrupted voice interrupted Su Ya's contemplation, and Perry, who had been silent immediately, suddenly straightened up at this moment, staring ahead with a vigilant face.

Su Ya followed Perry's gaze and looked forward, only to see that not far in front of them along the Gobi Desert, there was a large dense area of earth-colored deep in some rubble walls...... Corpse?!

Although they were far apart, Perry and Suya's eyes could see at once the clothes of the soldiers lying on the ground - they were Macedonians!

The two of them were shocked, Su Ya's face was cloudy and hesitant for a moment, and finally took out her wand and tapped it in the air, and a faint wave of light immediately disappeared.

"The undead elements in front are very dense, and they are by no means camouflaged......" Su Ya frowned and looked around with some vigilance, "But you still have to be careful, how can there be so many Macedonian corpses in this place...... It's a bit quirky indeed. ”

Perry quickly drew his long sword in his right hand, turned around and whispered to Su Ya, "You guys stay here first, and I'll take a few people to take a look." ”

After Perry finished speaking, he jumped off the war horse, put the long sword behind his backhand, and glanced at a few cavalrymen around him, several people immediately understood, drew their swords one after another, and followed Perry to dismount and walk forward.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, Jose stepped forward from the team, looked at Perry's background, and asked Suya with a frown: "Do you feel that there is a very strange aura around here......"

"It's an undead element...... Su Ya's gaze was a little solemn, she told Jose what had just happened, and then after thinking about it, she simply told the Macedonian people as well.

"You mean, there's still a Macedonian cavalry regiment searching for us in the desert?" After listening to Suya's words, although Joseph was surprised in his heart, his mind immediately began to think quickly, and he also thought of a possibility: Could it be that those Macedonians also know about the relics of the Protoss!?

"To be precise, an elite Macedonian cavalry regiment led by three magicians. Su Ya smiled bitterly, but her eyes immediately stared ahead, "It's just that so many Macedonian corpses suddenly appeared in front ......of here, it's really strange and tight."

At this time, Perry had already returned with a few people, and the knight glanced at Jose with an indifferent look before he said to Su Ya: "That's right, it's really Macedonian, I carefully examined the wounds and decay of several corpses, these people should have been dead for no more than half a month." If I'm not mistaken, this should be their camp, and there are a lot of tents and weights scattered on the ground, although it is a little messy, but it should be where they are stationed, but these people seem to have been attacked by accident and retreated in a hurry, so they didn't even have time to dispose of the corpses. ”

"Also, I found something interesting...... Perry said this, and smiled a little: "The corpses of these Macedonians are very badly damaged, almost all of them are mutilated, like the marks of some kind of wild beast......"

"Beast...... Could it be?" Su Ya's face immediately darkened.

"That's right," Perry smiled bitterly, "As you expected, we did find the corpses of several giant demon scorpions a few hundred meters away, which should have been killed by the Macedonians when they retreated." ”

Giant scorpion again?

Qiao Se noticed that Su Ya's face was a little pale at the moment, and he must have remembered his experience of encountering that group of terrifying demonic beasts.

It's just that it seems that these guys are not just looking for trouble, if these Macedonians are really killed by those giant demon scorpions, it can be regarded as a good thing.

Thinking of this, Joseph's heart relaxed slightly, after all, there is a "giant demon scorpion king" in his brother's hand, how can I say that those demon scorpions are also his little brothers.

At this time, Su Ya also quickly recovered her expression, and asked with some solemnity, "How many corpses are there?"

"From their camp to the north, it seemed to be the direction of their retreat, and there were intermittent traces of blood and corpses along the way, at least no less than four or five hundred, and it was impossible to know any farther away. Perry put the sword back into its scabbard and glanced back at the front: "It's obvious that the camp where these Macedonians are stationed was attacked by the scorpions, and then retreated all the way to the desert, but this probably means that we are now also in the territory of the giant scorpions, for safety, I think we are still ......"

"Perry, take me to see those corpses," Su Ya didn't wait for Perry to finish, suddenly interrupted him, and then jumped off the war horse lightly, and looked back at Joseph: "Joseph, aren't you coming along?"

Qiao Se was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, Su Ya had already walked forward, he touched the back of his head helplessly, and also got off the horse with a wry smile.

When Perry heard this, he didn't follow immediately, but looked at Jose with a playful expression, and took Su Ya and Joseph's war horses by the hand, but followed behind the two unhurriedly, as if he deliberately kept a distance from them.

"Sure enough," Qiao Se muttered in his heart, but his feet sped up, and he caught up with Su Ya in a few steps, but said with a smile on his face: "Hehe, Su Ya, you are walking too fast, I almost didn't catch up." ”

"Really?" Su Ya looked at Joseph with a strange expression, and then sighed for a while: "Joseph, why are you pretending to be confused with me?

"I know," Joseph smiled helplessly, "You want to ask me about that ruin, right?"

"That's right," Su Ya nodded, and then said slowly: "I won't hide it from you, I also told you just now that the purpose of those Macedonians going deep into the desert is said to be for an ancient ruin, and the cave we encountered before happens to be the ruins of an ancient elf race, whether this matter is a coincidence or not, but I think it is ...... I'm afraid it's also inextricably linked to you and your teacher, right?"

"I knew you were going to ask me this," Joseph frowned, "Well, if it were you, I'm afraid I'd be suspicious." After all, in such a large desert, it is indeed not easy to explain the fact that I happened to encounter a hidden ruin, and it happened that my teacher also appeared. ”

"Jose, I want you to be honest with me," Su Ya's tone was serious, with a hint of irresistible: "I know, your teacher is a noble magician, but after all, this matter involves Macedonians, and the matter may be more serious than we thought, after all, once a hostile force is involved, I can't ignore it." ”

"But I'm sorry," José spread his hands helplessly, "I don't know why my teacher is there, I know what you're thinking, but I can tell you that neither my teacher nor I are there for the sake of that ruin, all of this...... It was just an accident......

At the end of the sentence, Jose's tone was a little gloomy, but he still squeezed out a smile, "That's it." ”

Su Ya was obviously dissatisfied with Jose's answer, and when she was about to say something, her heart suddenly moved and she stopped: "Be careful, someone is coming ahead." ”

José followed Su Ya's gaze and looked forward, and sure enough, he saw a vague figure looming in the desert in the distance, but it was far away, and he couldn't see it clearly.

Perry also appeared behind Su Ya at some point, squinted at the figure in the distance, and said in a light tone: "Two people, one has a very weak breath and looks very seriously injured, and the other has a disordered breathing, but his pace is quite calm, he should be a martial artist." ”

The two of them obviously found a few people at this time, and immediately stopped far away, and then José saw clearly that it was indeed two people, they were both wearing Macedonian military uniforms, and a middle-aged man with a rough face was carrying a soldier who looked unconscious, and the middle-aged soldier was holding a scimitar in his hand, and was staring at the three of José very vigilantly at the moment.

Seeing Qiao Se and the others, this man wanted to subconsciously escape, but when he saw Perry leading the horse, his eyes lit up, and his expression seemed to be a little hesitant, and then he glanced at the unconscious person on his back, and a trace of firmness flashed on his face, and he walked straight towards Su Ya and the others, and shouted loudly from afar: "Who are you and why are you here?"

"These two Macedonians are a little weird," Su Ya looked at the two with a frown, then looked at Perry, and said lightly, "Leave them." ”

Hearing this, Perry looked at the two Macedonians again, turned around and smiled at Su Ya:

"As you wish, my Lord Duke. ”
