Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Coffin

Bang –

Accompanied by the sound of small words.

"Run!" Du Yunxi shouted, and everyone ran back with all their might.

When he was about to turn the corner, Song Shiyin turned his head slightly, and what he could see was the hideous body of the burning man who was chasing them.

The last Han Shan entered the house, he turned around and quickly closed the door, not only that, but everyone also moved some tables, chairs, and cabinets to block the door.

Running too quickly, a smell of blood surged straight upward, Song Shiyin swallowed his saliva and forcibly suppressed it.

She held on to the wall, gasping for air, and the rest of the group was not much better, staggering.

You can hear the constant noise coming from outside, and the heavy footsteps of the burning people.

The atmosphere in the room was also very tense, and everyone was panting and thinking about countermeasures.

"How can there be so many fires all of a sudden?" Bian Tingyu was puzzled.

"Is it because of self-awareness?" Shen Yueru frowned, she leaned against the wall, and she didn't seem to be in a good mood.

"Quite possibly." Du Yunxi replied.

"So what's next?" Han Shan asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, there seemed to be a fire outside, and they banged violently on the doors and windows, and the sound of thudding was terrifying.

"Outside? Is it a fire?" Shen Yueru stood up straight in shock, and a huge noise sounded again, and her body shrank unconsciously.

Bang bang bang –

Song Shiyin's heart was beating wildly, and she wanted to suppress the crazy surging blood, but to no avail.

Suddenly, a large hole broke open in the window, and a burning fist came in.

"Ahh

Through the hole, the Burning Man opened his mouth wide to the crowd, revealing the sharp and small teeth inside, and he bit his mouth together and made a clicking sound.

More and more people from the fire came in, they were pushing at the entrance of the cave, and Song Shiyin could see that the faces of the people who were burning were constantly changing.

"What should I do?" Shen Yueru asked anxiously, her voice filled with horror.

There was a cracking sound, and the fire burned man with another punch, and the debris of the wall fell to the ground, and the hole widened again.

At this time, the entrance to the cave was half a head the size.

"When they all come in, we'll be done!" Shen Yueru was so anxious that tears came out, and she looked at everyone.

"Senior brother!" Shen Yueru ran to Xu Chengtian's side, she pulled the hem of Xu Chengtian's clothes, and turned her head to look at the entrance of the cave in horror.

Xu Chengtian ignored it, he himself didn't know what to do now.

The space in the house is small, and if the fire burns people and rushes in, they will be gnawed and there will be no scum left, and there is no way to avoid it.

Song Shiyin was also very anxious, but the more he got to this time, the more he had to calm down before he could find a countermeasure.

She turned her head and looked through the hole, trying to see if there was anything that would ease the situation.

There were still tables and chairs piled up behind the windows and doors, but that only allowed them to prolong the time it took for the fire to rush in.

It is not of much use against the attack of the burning people.

Because of the appearance of the cave entrance, the fire burner at the door has moved to the cave entrance.

Song Shiyin looked at the entire room, and only the cave before could hide people.

At this time, Bian Tingyu also thought of this, and she said, "Isn't there a hole in the ground underneath? Why don't we go and hide first?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was recognized by Shen Yueru: "Okay! Right! Let's go down quickly! It's too late."

"No! The cave is even narrower, and if we go in, we will not be able to escape at all if we lose it and the fire will pour in." Wen Xuan immediately spoke out to stop it.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, are we just waiting here to die!" Shen Yueru stomped her feet, her tears already welling up.

"Otherwise, go out and draw away the burners, and scatter them out

。」

"Shen Yueru? You're too selfish!" Han Shan accused.

"What else can I do! What do you say? Are you really going to die in the secret realm?" Shen Yueru yelled at Han Shan.

"Look at it." In the quarrel between the two, Song Shiyin took the time to interject a sentence.

"What?" Shen Yueru asked.

"The doors and windows won't last long, let's go up to the roof first, go out to see the situation and then make plans." Song Shiyin explained.

Even if they could stall in the house, it was only a matter of time before the fireman came in, and they couldn't gamble on how long they could delay.

Besides, "Our purpose is to prevent the destruction of Sand City, and if the people outside are all dead, how can we break through the secret realm?"

"I agree with that." Rao Ning echoed in the dark, she was a man of action, and immediately moved the table, and the two overlapped.

Rao Ning climbed onto the table, a little shaky, Song Shiyin stepped forward in three or two steps, and supported her.

She glanced at Song Shiyin, and did not thank her, standing on the chair, banging the roof, and a thumping sound sounded, overlapping with the impact of burning people outside the house.

The houses in Shacheng were all made of compacted yellow sand, Rao Ning pushed hard, and the roof soon broke a big hole, and the loose yellow sand slid down, and she dodged on one side.

A ray of heavenly light entered the room, Rao Ning squinted lightly, her hands kept moving, and she continued to push the sand, and it didn't take long for a hole to appear that could accommodate one person to pass through.

She stretched out her hands upwards, grabbed the edge of the hole, and with the strength of her arms, lifted herself up, and then walked out of the hole.

"Ten tones go first, let's not rub in, one by one, leave quickly, it won't last long!" Du Yunxi said solemnly.

Accompanied by her voice, there was a more violent impact, and the bite of her teeth lingered in Song Shiyin's ears, and she felt numb when she heard it.

Song Shiyin did not hesitate, immediately climbed onto the table, and after going to the roof, she looked down at the scene at the door of the room, and couldn't help but be frightened.

It's not just that there are fires burning people at their doors, but there are more of them, perhaps because of the large number of people in the house.

There were not many burners wandering in the streets, but they were all gathered at the gates of their houses, and there were no burners coming down from the walls.

Song Shiyin guessed that it was very likely that all the people in the desert had gathered in the sand city, and if they could escape, they would be able to find the worms.

The others also came out one after another, because the people in the house moved to the roof, and the people below also reacted.

They all looked up at the crowd, their eyes open with bright red blood, and their eyes were full of longing, which was the eyes that saw them as food.

"Let's go!" Wen urged urging.

Rao Ning took the first step and ran quickly above the rooftop, she ran all the way in the direction of the city gate, trying to reduce the noise to avoid the sight of the burning people.

Song Shiyin also followed decisively, looking at Rao Ning's direction while paying attention to the road under his feet.

There was no obstacle above the roof, it could be said that there was no obstruction, and soon the people reached the city gate.

"Go find the beetle!" Rao Ning said coldly.

After leaving the city gate, everyone was still running fast, and if they didn't hurry up, they would probably be caught up by the burning people behind them.

"We're leaving, what are the people of the city going to do?" Bian Tingyu said worriedly as she ran.

"Will they be able to hold out until we come back with so many burners?"

"I can't do that much!" Shen Yueru replied.

They ran all the way to the oasis, where they still maintained the same appearance as Du Yunxi had last visited.

Song Shiyin slowed down his pace and took the time to look back, and there was no trace of burning people in the endless desert.

"That's it." She said breathlessly.

The others also turned back and saw that they were safe for the time being, and they also stopped and rested for a while.

Song Shiyin's feet were soft and he sat on the ground, but fortunately, the yellow sand was soft and not awkward.

"Such a big desert

Where are we going to find the beetle?" Shen Yueru asked, her tone full of despair.

"Let's think about it again and see if there are any clues that have been missed." After Du Yunxi finished speaking, he fell into deep thought.

"The conjoined baby girl was a beetle, and after she was burned by fire, the king ordered them to be thrown into the desert with the queen."

"Under normal circumstances, a conjoined baby girl who has become a fire beetle will devour the child beetle in the desert."

"But now, the conjoined baby girl doesn't show up."

"We need to figure out, is she actively missing or passive?"

After speaking, Du Yunxi looked at everyone.

"The beetle can't hurt the mother, so the fire can't devour the conjoined baby girl, and there shouldn't be anything more dangerous than her in this desert." Wen Yu immediately picked it up.

"Either she was trapped because of an accident, or, without us knowing, she has become a human being, and with human consciousness, will she be willing to be just a wedding dress and become the eternal life of the king of the country?" Yu Chi Muyi said.

"The former is debatable, and if the latter is the latter, we are in danger." Du Yunxi said with a calm face.

"Let's find her in the first case, where can she be trapped in this desert?"

Desert......

Song Shiyin suddenly remembered something, and she said, "Do you remember that the children in the house said that they also went to see the burning site of the conjoined baby girl."

"The king left first, and the people gradually dispersed, and she saw that the bodies of the conjoined baby girl and the queen were put into coffins and transported out of the city."

"yes, I remember that, too." Zhuo Guang replied.

At that time, Song Shiyin only wrote down this information point, and did not take it to heart, and when he told others the news that day, he also passed it off.

"What do you mean......" Du Yunxi thought thoughtfully.

"That's right, if the palace people didn't open the coffin that day, but threw it in the desert with the coffin, or did they miss the queen's past care and put the queen into the ground, wouldn't the conjoined baby girl come out?" Song Shiyin said word by word.

"I think it's a possibility! Didn't the merchant say that the palace people often praised the queen?" Bian Tingyu nodded, excitement flashing in her eyes.

"Perhaps, that's the truth." Du Yunxi smiled faintly.

The king also did not expect that he had calculated the queen, and when he came, his plan would fail because of the queen.

"But we don't know where the coffin is, and if it's really buried in the ground, wouldn't it be more like looking for a needle in a haystack?" Xu Chengtian was a little embarrassed.

This sentence also asked everyone in the team.

Since coming to this secret realm, every step has been so difficult, and whenever they feel that they have found a clue, they will find that the clue is only half.

"The king ordered the corpse to be thrown directly into the desert, and it was the palace people who prepared the coffin at their own initiative." Du Yunxi said, she cleared her thoughts little by little.

The crowd nodded.

"In order not to make the king suspicious, it shouldn't take too long for the palace people to go back to their lives, after all, it doesn't take much effort to throw the corpse."

"So ......"

"Then, the palace people will choose to bury the coffin nearby, so that they can quickly go back to their lives." Wen Xuan picked up this sentence.

"Great! Then let's go find a coffin near Shacheng!" Shen Yueru jumped up and said excitedly.

"However, there are a lot of people burning in Sand City, and we are close, so we can't guarantee that we won't attract them." Han Shan's words poured cold water on Shen Yueru's head.

"Besides, the coffin is in the ground, shall we dig up the yellow sand?"

Han Shan's gaze swept over everyone one by one.

"Have you forgotten that we still have a lot of artifacts unused." Rao Ning opened his mouth coldly.

This reminded everyone that they had sorted out magic weapons that could be used directly, and Zhuo Guang's trip to the palace was smooth, and he didn't use a few

Piece.

"Let's quickly sort out the ritual utensils again and come up with a countermeasure to minimize the movement and avoid causing fire, and at the same time we must be able to find the coffin as soon as possible." Wen Xuan said in a deep voice. new

The crowd immediately went into action.
