Chapter 504: Meet the Guide Again
"What's going on?" The shaking gradually stopped, and Yu Feng asked with some surprise.
"It may have something to do with the geological structure here, but it's probably just a simple ground movement." Hu Tian said uncertainly.
"No, don't forget, there's a volcano down here, and the shaking just now is definitely not simple." Donglin didn't think it was just a simple movement, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart.
"Whatever it is, leave first." Ji Wenlin was straightforward.
No one objected to this decision, and originally they planned to rest and recuperate before leaving, but because of the ground movement, the group did not want to take the risk of staying too long.
Following the route when they came, Xia Yanru and his party officially returned and left the ancient city, when they just stepped out of the ancient city wall, there was a sudden boom behind them, instantly setting off a cloud of dust and smoke, just by observing with the naked eye, they knew that something terrible must have happened there.
"Luckily we left early, the palace seems to have collapsed." Donglin looked in the direction of the dust and smoke for a while, and his face did not change much, but the happiness in his tone was indeed not difficult to distinguish.
"We didn't use any explosives or anything this time, did we?" Yu Feng was a little puzzled, in the past, when the underground palace collapsed, it was mostly because they used powerful explosives with a wide range, but this time they almost didn't use this kind of powerful explosives.
"Could it be the gang of men who imprisoned Ji Yu?" Donglin couldn't help but be a little suspicious, after all, after they came out, they didn't see those people, maybe they were still struggling in the first stage of the dungeon, or they encountered something that would cause them to use explosives, which is highly lethal.
"Tsk, it's possible." Yu Feng pursed his lips, and he agreed with Donglin's guess.
"Stop talking, hurry up, if they really used explosives, think about that volcano, maybe something will lead to something." Ji Wenlin shook his head, and immediately pulled Xia Yanru to continue to return the same way.
Since Tu Hongxing came out of the underground palace, he has been silently carrying Tang Yulou's body behind Xia Yanru, basically Xia Yanru stopped when he stopped, and Xia Yanru walked the kind he left.
Seeing that Xia Yanru and the three of them had already gone away, Yu Feng and the others did not dare to delay, they were actually a little worried about whether the movement just now would cause a volcanic eruption, this is an unpredictable thing, and it is the right way to leave as soon as possible while there is no change in the current situation.
The atmosphere on the return trip was much lower than when he came, the weather was not too hot, but according to this kind of climatic conditions, Tang Yulou's body could not be kept for long, and Xia Yanru discussed with Tu Hongxing halfway, planning to wait until the next destination, first cremate Tang Yulou's body, and then go back with his ashes.
The group of people rushed tirelessly, and it didn't take long to arrive at the entrance of the underwater ancient road when they first came, and they had made simple preparations, plus they had already had an experience, so this time the group was much shorter than the previous time to pass through the underwater ancient road.
The corpse of the snake before is gone, and I don't know if it was eaten and taken away by the beasts in the mountains, or picked up by someone who came here by chance, but no matter what the situation is, it is not good news for Xia Yanru and his party.
Whether it is a beast or a man-made person, it is by no means a good stubble that can appear in such a place. However, judging from the traces, it is estimated that it happened not long after they entered the underwater ancient road, and it should be safe to watch it for the time being.
Tang Yulou's body was no longer suitable to stay in this climate, and although Tu Hongxing was uncomfortable, he also knew that he must be cremated as soon as possible.
Everyone helped set up the cremation platform, Tu Hongxing picked up the body, and after looking at it for a while, he took the torch from Yu Feng's hand, "Daddy, let's go, take care of A-Niang for me and Wanli." ”
At the same time as the words fell, Tu Hongxing threw the torch up, and the flames instantly devoured Tang Yulou's body, and everyone gathered around to mourn silently, no matter how far or near the relationship was, it was undeniable that Tang Yulou was indeed a good senior.
After a brief rest near the waterhole, the group continued to set off, but after walking a short distance, they noticed that there seemed to be a figure passing nearby.
"It's the guide." Xia Yanru whispered to Ji Wenlin, she remembered the special spice smell on Lao Gu's body, this spice is rarely used by Han people, although she smelled it at first, she didn't pay attention to it, until she entered Xiganggou and found that the locals seemed to love to use this spice.
"You take them and keep going, and I'll catch him." Ji Wenlin also replied in a low voice, according to observation, there should be only one person on the other side, and it is estimated that he wants to go here to inquire about the situation.
"Be careful." With a whisper, Xia Yanru pretended to be fine, and continued to walk forward with the rest of the people, while Ji Wenlin walked slowly and began to approach the figure in the dark quietly.
As the two guessed, the figure that just flashed from the shadows was Lao Gu, this cunning old guy didn't leave directly after sneaking away, no one is more familiar with the terrain than him, so after escaping from the army, he has actually been hiding in the shadows.
Today is actually a routine to come out to investigate, Lao Gu has already planned, stay for about three days, if no one shows up, he plans to go back directly, if someone appears, he has also done a lot of traps in the past few days, and will definitely not let these people have the opportunity to return to Xiganggou and destroy the peace of the clan.
'Smack! There was a force from his shoulder, and Lao Gu's whole body stiffened, and his head slowly turned to the left back.
"Long time no see." Ji Wenlin had a faint smile on his face, he held a gun in one hand and pressed it on Lao Gu's shoulder with the other.
"You, you're all out?" Lao Gu asked with a stammer.
"As you can see, none of them are dead inside." Ji Wenlin's eyes were slightly deep, just from the words of the old guy, he could piece together a lot of information, obviously, this old guy was not ignorant of the situation in the ancient city.
Lao Gu's shoulders shrugged down slightly, his face was also a little sad, and he had the worst in his heart, but until he was brought back to Xia Yanru, his mood improved slightly, and he didn't see the prisoner Ji Yu who made him hate the most, and he suddenly had some guesses.
"You're a grave keeper, aren't you?" Xia Yanru actually had a guess, but she didn't have a chance to talk to Lao Gu at that time.
Old Gumo remained silent, as if intending to rebel with silence.
"Even if you don't say it, I can guess it, but don't worry, we have no malicious intentions, if you really want to do something bad, do you think you can still live until now?" Ji Wenlin continued.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Lao Gu roared in a low voice, his expression filled with grief and indignation.
