Chapter 435: Water Rhyme City
He Man: They finally agreed to bring the fire snake with them.
After all, if they are asked to give up the fire snake now, they will be afraid that they will be more than lucky when they face the scorpion in the second half.
Anyway, this fire snake now looks like it's quite obedient to the truth.
It's a big deal that they just look a little bit more in the back.
A few people finally agreed, and just like that, a few people took a fire snake and headed towards Shuiyun City.
I also encountered several waves of scorpions on the way, but they were easily solved by the fire snake, and the fire snake also grew a circle in the process.
But afterwards, he will always turn into the appearance of a little snake, shrinking on the wrist of the real thing, and he is very well-behaved.
Finally, with the help of the fiery serpent, they walked out of the desert where scorpions were infested.
Further on, there is Water Charm City.
Water Charm City, built on an oasis, does not live up to its name.
At first glance, the place looked like an ancient city, with an ancient city wall around the outside, and under the city gate, there were two guards, both dressed in ancient guard clothes.
The armor looked very heavy, especially in the scorching sun, it looked even heavier.
But they didn't feel it at all, and they didn't even sweat on their foreheads.
With a sword pinned to his waist and one hand on his sword, he stood straight in the doorway with his head held high.
Seeing them coming, the guard reached out to stop them, "Stop! What do you do, what are you doing here?"
"Little guard, we are travelers who are lost in the desert, and we happen to be passing by here, and we want to go in and fix it." Except for Zhen, he stepped forward and spoke.
The so-called stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, the two guards didn't make it difficult to get rid of them, but when they were about to enter, they deliberately mentioned, "The city has been haunted recently, you better be careful, especially at night, don't go out".
Except for Zhen and He Man and the others, they all felt that this so-called "haunted" was really a bit strange, He Man wanted to ask what the specific situation was, but the two guards were silent.
He turned his head and remained at the gate of the city, ignoring them completely.
Heman:......
There's a feeling of playing a game, and NC won't talk after explaining the task.
Oh, they are indeed NC, yes.
"Forget it, let's find a place to stay first, and we'll talk about this haunted thing later." Except for the truth, he pulled Lahoman.
I thought to myself, since these two NCs had already told them this clue, then even if they didn't want to care, this matter would bump into it, so there was no need to worry.
When he entered the city, he sensed that something was wrong.
Anyway, it's so quiet in the city.
It's not the kind of empty quiet, but it's still very quiet, even though there are a lot of people.
It's as if these people don't have feet under their feet, and they're all floating.
Jean Jiezhen couldn't help but glance down to make sure that there were shoes under their feet, but the shoes didn't make the slightest sound when they stepped on the ground, and it was scary.
They also rarely communicate, and individuals walk their own path, with a chaotic order.
It's weird, it's just weird.
Soon, they found an inn in the city, and the inn was quiet, and the guests sat at their tables, calmly eating the food on their tables, and even when they saw someone entering, they only glanced at it slightly, and then continued their movements.
They were like this, so that Jiezhen and the others couldn't help but relax their steps, and He Man even whispered to Jiezhen's ear, "These people are so strange."
Except for Zhen, he shook his head and walked to the counter.
Behind the counter was someone, presumably the shopkeeper, looking through the ledger.
Even when he saw a guest coming in, he didn't think to come forward to greet him, but just looked at the account book on the table with his own care, until he knocked on the countertop lightly, and the shopkeeper raised his head to look at them.
Like
Walking through the process, he asked, "Hit the top or stay in the hotel?"
His voice was faint, as if there were no emotional ups and downs.
It's very uncomfortable to listen to.
In addition to the truth: "Stay in a hotel and open three rooms."
In addition to Zhen, He Man, and Wu Qirui, Feng Ruan Ruan and Tong Chenghe rested directly in the two rings that Zhen was carrying.
Soon, the store opened three rooms and asked Xiao Er to take them upstairs.
During this time in the desert, I always have to be careful of the scorpions that don't know when they will suddenly come out, and I can't sleep well, so I finally found an inn and was finally able to sleep well.
The night was getting deeper, and at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, I was really woken up by the movement under the bed.
"Knock knock" "Knock knock", as if something was churning underneath.
Except for Zhen, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Although it is rare to get a good night's sleep, after all, it is in the dungeon, and Except Zhen doesn't dare to fall asleep after all, so when the voice came, Except Zhen immediately woke up.
got out of bed, slowly squatted down, and looked carefully under the bed, this look, it was a pair of eyes.
Golden vertical pupils.
Except for Zhen and frowning, the golden vertical pupil came out from under the bed at a very fast speed, and instantly slipped into Except for Zhen's arms.
That's right, it's Xiaohong who is waiting under this bed.
"What's wrong?" Knowing that Xiaohong couldn't speak, he still asked softly.
The hand subconsciously reached to the top of its head, wanting to touch its head, but did not expect to touch the blood on its hand.
Except for Zhen's eyes that widened, the blood had not yet dried up, and it was still wet.
She put Xiaohong aside, turned on the fire fold, and looked under the bed, and sure enough, under the bed, she saw a large red bloodstain.
Such a large amount of blood, if it is a person's, it must be a lethal amount.
Remembering the haunting that the guards said when they came in, is this a haunting or a homicide?
Or, a combination of both?
Except for really thinking about it, I suddenly heard a scream of "ah" from next door, like a man's voice.
Except for the real one who pressed against the wall and wanted to listen carefully, the next door was quiet, and there was no sound.
But after a while, I heard the sound of "da-da-da" footsteps coming from downstairs.
Listening to the voice, it seems that there is more than one person.
When he opened the door, he faced the owner of the inn with a rare anxiety on his face.
Behind him, there were several guards, dressed in similar clothes as the guards guarding the city.
They just glanced lightly in the direction of the Zhenzhen, and then went straight to the room next to the Zhenzhen.
He followed him to the next room.
As soon as he got closer, he smelled a strong smell of blood coming from inside the house.
