Chapter 250: Ghost Lantern

When the sun had completely set and the grassland land was shrouded in cold moonlight, the fifth trial officially began.

Tang Xiaohao said goodbye to Bao Meng and Candle Dragon, and looked at Ji Chengying and An Tai in the carriage.

Ji Chengying smiled and nodded, and Tang Xiaohao walked towards the dense fog alone.

Antai looked at Ji Chengying and said, "Lord, because this is the only way for the princess to worship her ancestors, she can only camp on the spot tonight."

"I'll sleep in the carriage tonight," Ji Chengying smiled, and then asked, "Dadutong, the rules of the fifth trial sound simpler than the previous four, can I think this trial is the hardest?"

Antai knelt down directly in the carriage towards Ji Chengying: "Lord Wang, it is rare for someone to pass the trial, especially in the fifth game, in my personal experience, if you want to survive, it depends entirely on luck."

Ji Chengying was puzzled: "Luck? What do you mean?"

"If the pony is lucky, you can get all the way to the center of the Ghost Lantern Park, pick the snow tower flowers, and then go back the way you came."

Ji Chengying sighed slightly, didn't say anything, just raised his hand to signal Antai to get up.

Antai got up and said, "I will first order someone to tidy up the carriage for the prince."

Subsequently, Antai personally helped Ji Chengying get out of the car and sat by the bonfire to eat, during which he only talked about some folk customs and customs of Rouyuan, and tacitly did not mention anything about what happened in Tang Xiaohao's fourth trial.

Antai would look in the direction of the ghost lamp from time to time, and she was not only worried about Tang Xiaohao's life and death......

Bao Meng sat by another bonfire with the candle dragon, looking at the fire and muttering to himself some prayers taught by the nurse, hoping that the gods of all things could bless Tang Xiaohao with safety.

Gilda and Muzir stepped forward and saluted first.

Bao Meng opened his eyes and said, "Get up."

Calla handed over the tray of food, "Princess, it's time for dinner."

Bao Meng shook his head, "I'm not hungry, I don't have an appetite."

Muzir immediately said, "It's too cold at night, and if the princess doesn't eat, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive."

"Yes, I'm just boiling right now," Bao Meng said coldly, "I'm suffering."

Childa and Muzier glanced at each other, both of them knew that Bao Meng was worried about Tang Xiaohao, but after the two saw what happened in the fourth trial, although Childa was surprised, but because he had experienced the Liangcheng incident, he could still accept it, but Muqier was different, he already regarded Tang Xiaohao as a monster in his heart.

Childa whispered, "Princess, the fifth trial really depends on the luck of the colt."

Bao Meng hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

Gilda first looked at Muzir: "What I said next, can't you tell the outside world? It doesn't matter if the princess knows something, but if someone else knows, we will both of us."

Seeing that Cerda was so serious, Muzir nodded cautiously and said, "Got it."

Later, Gilda told Bao Meng, "The fifth trial is for the pony to go into the Ghost Lantern Swamp, go to the depths, pick a snow tower flower, and return before sunrise. As for what's in the swamp, there are different opinions, but there must be a man-eating monster inside, and the only person I know of who has passed the fifth trial is Lord Antai."

Bao Meng frowned, "Aren't you talking nonsense? I know all of that."

"But what no one else knows is that one of the reasons why Lord Antai passed the fifth trial in the first place was because she knew the swamp, so she was able to avoid dangerous places."

Bao Meng immediately asked, "What about the second?"

Childa glanced at Muzir before saying, "Second, it was because of the luck of Lord Antai that she didn't encounter any danger along the way, and she didn't encounter the man-eating monster, so she was able to find the Snow Tower Flower and pick it up and return safely after entering."

Muzir was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say anything, because this was not what they had heard.

Lord Antai passed the trial of Lian Boda as a female warrior back then, and it has become a legend on the grassland.

Even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes

Those who have been in the process of trials know from hearing that even if someone can pass the first four trials, by the time of the fifth trial, they will definitely be scarred and exhausted.

Under this premise, entering the Ghost Lantern Swamp is undoubtedly a death, there were many strong warriors who never returned after entering the Ghost Lantern Pool, and even if someone could return, they couldn't control the time overnight.

According to the rules, as long as the trialist does not come out at sunrise, he is considered a failure.

Mu Qier on the side said, "The Snow Tower Flower is very precious, I heard that it is also a medicine, and in the entire Rouyuan, only the center of the Ghost Lantern Swamp will grow."

Bao Meng said: "Legend has it that when the king of the Sarena clan was in power, he once fell seriously ill, and it was only by her husband Sugol who went to the Ghost Dengbo Swamp alone to pick the snow tower flowers, and she was cured.

Childa and Muzir didn't dare to say anything, Bao Meng was a princess, a direct descendant of the female clan king, she could say these things, but the others didn't dare.

Childa hesitated and said, "The reason why the Ghost Lantern Park is called the Ghost Lantern Park is because at night, ghost lanterns will fly in the swamp, which is what Huayuan called ghost fires, and I heard that once those ghost fires are touched, people will be burned to ashes immediately."

Muzir continued, "There are many man-eating monsters in there, which will suddenly emerge from the swamp and drag people directly into the swamp."

The candle dragon next to him looked very uneasy at this time, and was about to walk in the direction of the swamp.

Bao Meng got up and grabbed the reins, comforted the candle dragon and said, "Don't worry, your master is fine, he is not an ordinary person, even if he encounters danger, he will definitely turn evil into good fortune."

Although the candle dragon was quiet, it still looked in the direction of the swamp.

While Bao Meng gently patted the candle dragon with his hand, he also looked at Antai in front of the other bonfire.

It turns out that Lord Antai relied on luck back then, not real strength, that is, as long as the luck is a little worse, no matter who encounters the monster in the swamp, there is no chance of survival.

However, Bao Meng still firmly believes that Tang Xiaohao will definitely be safe.

There was no reason, just because she believed.

However, what she is more worried about is that as long as Tang Xiaohao succeeds in the trial and realizes his wish to save the candle dragon, he will also face a difficult problem next, that is, whether the Tors Department will recognize him as Boda.

People of low status participate in trials to get rid of their original status, while ordinary people and people with status do so in order to wish for the title of Boda.

Although Tang Xiaohao is just for wishes, because of his identity, he should also get the title of Boda.

It's just that these people from the Tors Department are willing to admit it?

The title of Boda should also be bestowed by the incumbent clan king, and this is where the most trouble lies.

If Baomeng's elder brother Gur Ke is allowed to give Tang Xiaohao the title of Boda, it is equivalent to making Tang Xiaohao and others recognize the identity of the king of other clans in disguise, and the word is given from top to bottom.

Because of the marriage relationship with Baomeng, Tang Xiaohao's identity should at least be the same as that of Gurke, and it must not be given, but if Baomeng is the king of the clan, then everything is reasonable.

Just as the king of the Sarena tribe gave her husband the title of Sugolboda.

So, the trial is not a trouble, the real trouble is everything that is faced after the trial.

While Bao Meng was worried about Tang Xiaohao, Tang Xiaohao, who was in the ghost lamp, took a long branch and walked cautiously.

He was lucky, and when he entered the Ghost Lantern Pool, he found a long branch.

When he picked up the branch, he was still a little puzzled, and subconsciously looked around, he didn't see a tree along the way, how did this branch come from?

"Thank you for the gift of the Nine Heavens Gods," Tang Xiaohao looked up at the sky, and then probed the ground in front of him with a branch, "Since there is a divine protection, then I am welcome."

Right now, this branch is far more powerful than a steel knife.

Suddenly, Tang Xiaohao's branch poked

Something in the swamp.

Tang Xiaohao gently picked up the thing in the swamp pool with a branch, and found that it was a skeleton, and under the skeleton was naturally a skeleton.

Tang Xiaohao was just about to shake the skeleton away, but when he remembered something, he picked the skeleton with a branch and carefully dragged the entire skeleton out of the swamp pool.

The skeleton wore an iron helmet lined with fur and a piece of leather armor with the emblem of a wolf.

The wolf's head on the leather armor was clearly visible under the cold moonlight, and it looked like a person riding a wolf, but now the soldiers of the wolf's riding did not have a wolf's head mark, even if it was a light horse's leather armor.

Tang Xiaohao's gaze finally fell on the necklace worn by the bones.

It is impossible for him to take off the leather armor and wear it, and if he wears such a heavy thing, if he falls in, it will sink faster.

I don't know what the necklace is made of, it hasn't changed color or broken for so many years.

Tang Xiaohao reached out and pulled the necklace vigorously, and found that the necklace was very strong, and the rope was probably made of something like a rubber band, which should be useful.

So, Tang Xiaohao took off the necklace and looked at the round pendant on the necklace.

The pendant is a disc with a lot of totemic patterns around it. Tang Xiaohao has seen these patterns in the Tucheng of various tribes along the way, and they belong to the tribal totem.

There is also a petal-shaped wheel in the center of the disc, and when you flick it with your hand, the wheel will also rotate.

"Whatever you are, the two of us met, and that's fate." Tang Xiaohao wiped the necklace with his cuffs, "I can't take your original master out, so I can only take you away."

After Tang Xiaohao put the necklace in his hand, he continued to move forward, and before he took more than ten steps, he saw ghost lights floating in the distance.

When Tang Xiaohao saw those ghost lights, instead of being afraid, he slowly stepped forward to take a closer look.

Before entering the Ghost Lantern Park, Antai told Tang Xiaohao why it is called the Ghost Lantern Park, because there will be this evil thing called a ghost lantern by the people of Rouyuan and a ghost fire in Huayuan.

The moment he saw the ghost lamp, Tang Xiaohao felt that it was not a ghost fire, at least not a ghost fire in Huayuan, because he once stayed in the cemetery outside the city until midnight because he was curious about what the ghost fire looked like.

Although Tang Xiaohao did see the ghost fire, he didn't feel that the ghost fire was terrifying.

Tang Chen later learned about this, although he reprimanded Tang Xiaohao for being bold and daring to sneak out of the city, he still couldn't laugh or cry, because Tang Xiaohao told his father that he didn't think the ghost fire was terrible, and even felt a little cute, but felt that those dense graves looked more infiltrating.

For ordinary people, the grave bag and ghost fire are terrifying? How could Tang Xiaohao think that the grave bag was terrible, but the ghost fire was cute?

Tang Chen really couldn't understand why his son would use cuteness to describe the ghost fire that everyone was afraid of.
