Chapter 123: The Dark City

Xiao Nan and the others stayed day and night, but they didn't think that the distance of more than 20,000 miles was too long, and after nearly five days of flight, a group of people came to a mountain range not far from the Hongbarren Desert, which was less than a thousand miles away from Qinyao Palace.

If you want to enter the Hongbarren Desert from here, you must bypass the Oolong Mountain in front, Xiao Nan has the intention of saving people in his heart, naturally he will not bypass it lightly, he must find out the situation of Qin Yao Palace, and he does not want to involve Lin Zhen and the others in this matter.

A behemoth like Qin Yao Palace can't be dealt with by a few more people, so it's better to find a way to sneak in and save people secretly without alarming Qin Yao Palace, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties.

"Otherwise, on the way here just now, brother, I saw a city near here, let's go over a few people to inquire about the situation, and maybe we can find a way to enter the ancient ruins. Xiao Nan turned back to Lin Zhen and said.

"Well, if we can find an experienced local in the city, let's pay a lot of money to see if we can let him guide us, so that it will be much safer than if we are wandering around like headless flies. In addition, it is necessary to buy some daily necessities such as food and fresh water, because there is no water source in the desert. Lin Zhen agreed with Xiao Nan's opinion, they must make a series of preparations to enter the Flood Desert, and they have never entered this place in the desert.

Several people discussed the plan, Xiao Nan ordered the colorful feather phoenix to hide in this valley, because it was a close exploration, these birds could not play a role in the flood desert, and the target was too big to attract the attention of other masters, so simply let them wait in this valley, and let them come out when they returned.

Xiao Nan asked the guards to set up camp in the same place, and he and Lin Zhen walked to the city on foot.

Although the city is not too far away, but it took a few people an hour to come to the city gate, the city wall is not too tall, and there are no guards at the city gate, the plaque made of a big stone on the city gate tower is carved with three big characters of "Dark City", although these three words are not from the hands of famous artists, but there is still some momentum.

When a few people entered the city, they saw some monks walking sparsely on the streets of the city, wandering around listlessly, which was too far from the prosperity of Wanquan City!

The buildings on both sides of the street are not very tall, they are all made of boulders, and the roofs are haphazardly covered with polished stone tiles.

Not too far from the street there was a shopkeeper-like building, and a door was dug out of the wall on one side towards the street, but now all the gates were closed, and the doors were chained, and the whole city looked lifeless, without the appearance of a town!

Those pedestrians saw Xiao Nan and the others as if they had seen monsters, and they all avoided from afar, as if this group of strangers could bring them disaster.

"It's strange, why is this place so depressed, it seems that a big war has just passed, and the cultivation of the monks here is not too high, looking at these people, they seem to be quite afraid of us. ”

Lin Zhen couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw the expressions of these people, several of them looked quite quiet on the outside, how could these people see them as if they were seeing ghosts?

Xiao Nan felt that something was wrong when he saw such a scene in front of him, these people should be able to see that several of them had no malicious intent, why did they hide like a mouse seeing a cat?

Could it be that someone from outside had done something to them in the past that scared them? Xiao Nan saw that there was an old man with a rickety figure not far in front of him, who was squatting on the corner of the street and looking at his people in panic, Xiao Nan hurriedly walked towards the old man, he wanted to ask the old man what was going on here.

Seeing that Xiao Nan was coming in his direction, the rickety old man suddenly stood up and turned in the other direction, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, the speed was shocking, how could he imagine that such a weak body would have such explosive power!

The others also spread their legs, scrambling to flee in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, there was not even a single figure on the big street!

Xiao Nan and the others looked at the empty street and couldn't help but look at each other! They couldn't figure out what was going on with these people, and could they be so terrible? In order not to disturb these original residents, they didn't knock on the closed courtyard doors.

There was no way, now there was no one to ask for directions, and a few people walked aimlessly on the empty streets, searching around with pairs of eyes, not letting go of any nooks and crannies.

The whole street was gloomy, and not even a sound could be heard, except for the footsteps of a few people, except for the sound of the footsteps of a few people. Seeing that it was getting late, but there was nothing to discover, Lin Ruyu couldn't help muttering loudly.

"What the hell is this place, the people here are crazy, we won't do anything to them, why do you see people like you see ghosts, you're angry!"

"Sister Ruyu, there is no urgency, it is better to save your breath and stay to warm your stomach. ”

"Brother Wu, this city is so big, we are almost looking for it, we can't even find a single figure, seeing that it is about to get dark, where else can we find it. ”

"Brother Wu, there seems to be an inn in front, but the door is tight, why don't you wait here for a while, Xiao will knock on the door to see how it goes, do they see that there are many of us, and they dare not come out to meet us?"

Xiao Nan was a little anxious when he saw a few people, now it is about to get dark, if it is dark and he can't find a place to stay, spending the night in this place like a ghost town, I'm afraid it will be dangerous!

"It's good that there is Brother Laushaw, and my brothers and sisters are waiting here. ”

Wu Qingsong is also helpless now, he didn't expect a few people to be so unlucky, and finally rushed to this city, thinking that he could buy some daily necessities along the way, and then find a guide to enter the flood desert, who expected that there was nothing in this city, even if there was a person who saw a few people and fled far away!

Xiao Nan came to this inn-like courtyard, only to see a few big characters written on the lintel with gold lacquer on it, "Kelai'an Inn".

There were still two big red lanterns hanging on both sides of the inn door, but the wick in the lantern had not been lit yet, Xiao Nan walked to the door and gently patted it twice on the wooden door.

There was a faint sound of footsteps walking in the door, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, but they stopped when they walked to the door, it seemed that they were lying there and looked out from the crack in the door, Xiao Nan didn't make a sound, and the people inside looked at the door for a while and turned around and walked back!

Xiao Nan saw that the man was about to leave without even saying a word, and finally heard the person's voice, how could he let him go lightly!

He knocked on the door twice more with great force, hoping that the man would open it for him.

It's good that he didn't knock, but the person who knocked on it sped up his speed, only to hear the sound of footsteps falling on the ground like raindrops, and getting farther and farther away from the gate.

Xiao Nan was a little anxious, what the hell is it to open a store if you don't have a business!

He shouted: "The people inside listen to Ben Gongzi, if you don't open the door again, Ben Gongzi will break in, don't blame Ben Gongzi for being unkind to you when the time comes!"

Xiao Nan thought, anyway, no matter how much my son knocks on the door, you won't open it, it's better to have something hard, see if you dare not open the door for Lao Tzu!
