Chapter 158: The Underground Palace
The abundance of gold in the city naturally aroused the greedy peeps of many other scheming people, but because most of the residents of the city were known for their barbarism, most of those who came to visit the city under the guise of stealing gold mines retreated in embarrassment.
However, it is impossible to avoid the secret success of some scheming people, and in the meantime, naturally there are also supernatural godlanders like Xia Zihan and them.
Last time, because of Xia Zihan's intervention, Xiao Yitong's plan to make money in Modu was interrupted. Now that there is a huge natural gold mine in front of them, the people of the Black Prison will naturally not let go of this piece of fat. If it was just an ordinary gold stealer, the half-angel would naturally be too lazy to intervene, but the black prison they stole gold to deal with their half-angel, and they definitely wouldn't steal only one star and a half, and it was very likely that they would all be fished out.
The people of the dead city live on gold, and if they lose the gold mines, the people of the dead city will surely fall into the financial crisis.
With the delicate relationship between Xiao Yitong and Xia Zihan, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate for Xia Zihan to come forward in this matter.
Moreover, without Xia Zihan, you can go to Xiao Yitong, as long as Xiao Yitong senses Xia Zihan's existence in the Dead City, she will definitely take the initiative to come to her.
Being able to see camels in the dead city made Xia Zihan excited, and when he heard Chen Anlan say that they were going to ride a camel to the so-called underground palace, Xia Zihan suddenly geared up to climb onto the camel's back. Before she could climb up, she was thrown by the camel's disgusted ass and knocked to the ground.
"Ah...... It...... It actually hit me with its ass?!" Xia Zihan couldn't believe that she was actually knocked down by a camel with her ass, and the whole person fell into the verge of going berserk, scolding at the species that spoke a different language from her.
Then the camel raised its hind hooves and kicked Xia Zihan's face fiercely in full view, and then grinned proudly, snorted twice mockingly, spread its hooves and ran away......
"Ahhh......hhh I'm going to kill it, chop it up, make soup and feed it to the dogs!"
"Zihan, calm down, calm down, don't be like an animal!" Chen Anlan held back his laughter and held back his internal injuries while stopping Xia Zihan, who had a lot of mood swings.
Because they ran away with a camel, they had to find another camel man and bring a camel over. However, in order to prevent the camel from running away again, the camel man said that he would not let Xia Zihan ride alone, and he must take the camel with him in front, and the angry Xia Zihan rolled his eyes.
With the rhythmic sound of the crisp bells, Xia Zihan and Chen Anlan braved the scorching sun and the yellow sand that came from time to time, and went to the underground palace in Chen Anlan's mouth.
Xia Zihan, who was a little drowsy sitting on the back of a camel, saw a group of people dressed in white and masked riding camels towards them, and thought that he had seen a mirage of an Arab caravan.
It's not because the brain is sick that it's so tightly wrapped on this hot day, it's a bad intention.
The group of white-clothed and masked people walked parallel to Xia Zihan without squinting, seeing that this group of people was ignoring him, Xia Zihan also poked his head out to see the true face of those people without scruples. Before she could find a good posture to observe those people closely, those people had already missed her and herself, and she couldn't observe them anymore.
Xia Zihan sat up straight with some disappointment, and with a soft sound of "oh", Xia Zihan covered his forehead in pain.
"I'll you, who is plotting against me? Isn't it?" Xia Zihan glared at Chen Anlan beside him viciously.
"Why me?" Chen Anlan pointed to himself with some depression.
"Is there anyone else here but you? Could it be the camel man in front?"
Chen Anlan lowered his head and sighed a little angrily, and did not speak again, while Xia Zihan continued to rub the small bag on his forehead and complained, but his eyes secretly moved to the white-clothed and masked group of people who were gradually moving away behind him.
I don't know how long it took, but the camel man who led the way finally stopped moving forward. Jumping off the back of a camel and looking at the boundless desert Gobi around him, Xia Zihan had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
This place...... It's almost exactly the same as the desert you saw at the bottom of the Jilian River, except that the castle is missing.
But ...... "Didn't you say there was an underground palace?" but there was nothing here? except sand and sand. Xia Zihan looked around, except for the desert Gobi, there were only those tall poplar trees and sparse huge cacti.
"Of course, the underground palace exists underground, Zihan, you are really getting more and more stupid. Chen Anlan smiled and patted Xia Zihan's head and walked ahead.
"Who says I'm stupid? I'm just curious. Xia Zi pouted coldly, but still kept up with Chen Anlan's pace. "Do I sometimes really wonder if there's anything else in this world that you don't know?"
"Well, there should be, at least for Zihan, you have. Chen Anlan replied softly.
"What do you mean?" Xia Zihan looked at Chen Anlan's back in confusion.
Chen Anlan stopped, turned around and smiled at Xia Zihan, and took Xia Zihan's hand.
"Huh?" Xia Zihan looked at Chen Anlan in surprise.
"Tighten me, it's time to go down. Chen Anlan rubbed Xia Zihan's hair, turned his face sideways and looked down at the ground under their feet, his lips squirmed and whispered something. A faint white halo appeared under their feet, and upon closer inspection, the white halo seemed to have some complicated and ancient lines, gently swirling.
"What is this?" As soon as Xia Zihan asked, the ground under their feet began to sink rapidly, revealing a long staircase leading straight to the ground.
Walking down the stairs, there is a wide stone-walled promenade, which is a little cold and damp, but still well-lit.
The stone walls on both sides are carved with strange patterns and strange words, and small orange lamps hang on the walls every ten meters.
"What do the words on it mean?" Xia Zihan asked Chen Anlan by pointing to two lines of words under a small lamp, next to those words was a dull-looking sickle, with a burning flame under the edge of the sickle, and a thin palm with pointed nails in a grasping posture.
"That's the sign of death, the first thing you saw when you first came in was this picture, you are really a little different. A voice full of charm suddenly appeared, Xia Zihan and Chen Anlan raised their eyes at the same time, and a woman with long black hair was twisting her proud figure and walking towards the two.
The woman has a dark complexion, wears a silver ring embedded with black gems on her forehead, and a bandeau and a knee-length skirt show off her proud figure.
Seeing Chen Anlan staring at the woman intently beside him, Xia Zihan turned Chen Anlan with his elbow a little unpleasantly, and Chen Anlan withdrew his gaze with some embarrassment.
"Who are you?" Xia Zihan asked vigilantly at the woman who suddenly appeared.
"Mo?Yi Chena, you can call me Miss Nana, I am the master of this underground palace, I can explain to you anything you don't understand. Desert Ichina smiled and watched the two introduce themselves.
"Hello Miss Nana, may I ask what you mean by what you just said?" Chen Anlan stepped forward and looked politely at Mo Yi Chena and asked.
Mo Yi Qina smiled lightly, slowly walked to the picture Xia Zihan just said, and gently stroked the lines of the painting with her index finger, showing a strange look on her face.
"Usually people who enter this underground palace either don't notice anything, or they just see the angel painting when they enter. You, on the other hand, have focused your attention on this painting of death, which only people with extremely deep resentment in their hearts will see. ”
The resentment in her heart is extremely deep, how can she have any resentment?
"Nonsense. Xia Zihan pursed his lips a little unhappily, feeling inexplicable at Mo Yi Chena's words.
"I'm just telling you the truth, believe it or not. "Indifferent to Xia Zihan's attitude?" Yi Cina didn't care too much, and walked into the corridor by herself. "If you don't understand anything, just ask me and I'll come out to help you answer it. ”
The voice disappeared into the gloom at the end of the corridor, and disappeared with him.
"Inexplicable woman. Xia Zihan rolled his eyes and continued to look at the strange-shaped murals around him.
"She's just a routine explanation, Zihan, don't take it to heart. Chen Anlan patted her on the shoulder as if comforting.
Xia Zihan Nunu mouthed, her heart was unhappy for a while, she just pointed out a painting casually and asked, and actually said that only people with extremely deep resentments would notice that painting, which is really some nonsense.
The two of them walked along the corridors for an unknown amount of time, and they couldn't visually measure how long they were, but they saw countless strange murals along the way. But the strange thing is that they didn't meet any other people who came to sightsee, is this a place that no one knows? But after listening to Mo Yichina's words, it is said that there must be many people here who have been here, and it is a little strange that no one has seen it.
"It doesn't seem to be unusual, it's boring. Xia Zihan shrugged her shoulders rather boredly, but it was also because her previous words also had a lot of impact on her mood.
"Look there. ”
Looking in the direction pointed by Chen Anlan, standing in front of them were countless stone statues of different shapes, standing in front of them were the main gods of ancient Greek mythology, Zeus, Hera and Poseidon. There are other statues of the nine main gods and some other realm gods in the back, and after that are some stone statues of modern people, it is estimated that they are the ancestors of the ability in the mouth of Chen Anlan.
Among the many stone statues, a stone statue deeply attracted Xia Zihan's sight and couldn't move away.
Here, why is it happening? (To be continued.) )
