Chapter 1567: The Trouble Brought by the Red Lotus
The spire tower, the heavily guarded tower area, Inanaika came to a stable on the periphery and secretly observed the situation under the tower.
"There are guards under the tower, this should be the location of the leader of the vanguard army, what is the identity of these guys, I will find out. Ina Nica was about to sneak to the bottom of the tower when she suddenly stopped and said, "No, it's a trap. Thinking of this, she slowly retreated into the darkness: "I tortured and killed several of them, these people will not be unsuspecting, this is probably a trap set by them. ”
She observed by the stable for a while, and said to herself, "I still don't want to use hard means to check them, just hide in the dark and observe." They've done such a big thing, and no one will look into them. Ina Nica looked at the tower and smiled, and turned to leave.
......
A golden scorpion crawled across the sand between the tents, the rising sun had already crept into the air, and it was only after the middle of the night that the tired men got up from their tents. Alice didn't have her own tent and was supposed to sleep with Joa, but Joa's snoring at night was too loud for her to stand it, so she agreed to Jora's invitation and the two slept together.
When we woke up on this day, we got dressed, washed and eaten, and finished what we had to do, ready to enter the second level of the challenge.
According to Alice, the second layer should be a labyrinth-like place, since it is a maze, the most fearful thing is to be trapped in it and unable to get out, and be in a dilemma. For this reason, everyone discussed, in addition to making marks along the way, they also connected all the ropes to make a long rope to prevent them from getting lost. Everyone understands it in their hearts. I'm afraid the labyrinth on the second layer won't be so simple, no one knows what the danger is, so I can only take one step at a time.
The candidates for the second tier are still Cesaniel, Wolffang, Alice, Abz, Little G and Alligator, but Tyson also brought some people in. Since the general danger of the first layer had been eliminated, he wanted to study it carefully.
The six of them walked up the stairs into the tomb passage leading to the second floor, and when they were only halfway there, Wolf Fang smelled something with his keen sense of smell and said, "I seem to smell damp earth and plants. ”
Xiao G smiled: "How can there be plants here, did you smell it wrong?" ”
Wolf Fang didn't explain, just followed everyone forward. Soon came to the entrance to the second floor.
"It's ......"
Abz and his puppet at the forefront. Holding a spar lamp to illuminate the foreground, I saw that the second layer was full of vitality and greenery, as the wolf tooth said, on the ground. High walls. Including the top of the head is covered with green plants. Everyone didn't expect this to be the kind of scene on the second floor. Compared to the cold and cold on the first floor, it is more like a greenhouse for cultivating valuable plants, which is hard to believe.
"How can there be green leaves here?" said Little G. in surprise. This is also a question for everyone. There is no sunlight, and it grows deep in the ground for thousands of years, and even any plants should die.
Everyone stood at the top of the staircase and did not enter, except for the very strange green leaves, as Alice said, this is a labyrinth. The fireball shone ahead, and there were high green walls on both sides, and a fork in the road appeared not far ahead.
Alice looked closely at the leaf plant and said, "Have you noticed that the green leaves of these plants look a little awkward, as if they are ...... How can I say it......"
"Like a fake. Cesaniel said.
"Yes, yes, it's too fake to be real. ”
Abz took his sword and slashed a few times in the leaf bushes, and found that the leaf bushes were quite deep, and after sweeping away all the leaves on the surface, there was a forest of white bone skeletons underneath, and then cut the green leaves on the ground and other places to see, the same. It turned out that the walls of this labyrinth were all made of human skulls.
Everyone was startled, Cesaniel frowned, and couldn't help but scold: "This GLONAS, it's really not a good thing, it actually uses human bones to build a labyrinth!"
"Look at it!" Alice pointed to the green wall plants that had been split, and when they said these few words, the green vines that had been cut down before had grown a lot, and everyone looked closely, and they could see the plants growing slowly with the naked eye. The skeleton was filled with something like dirt, from which the roots of the plant grew.
Everyone only felt that the tomb of the princess of GLONAS was full of strange and evil atmosphere, which made people extremely uncomfortable and uneasy.
The alligator said, "Do we still want to go in? I don't think this is a good place, don't get the treasure, and take your life." ”
"Are you scared? Didn't you say you were brave?" Little G and Alligator had been walking together for many days, and the two of them had become more familiar with each other.
"Who said I was scared. The alligator's cringe's expression was written on his face, but he was still stubborn: "I am...... I was injured yesterday, and I was afraid that something would happen in a while. Besides, Monsieur Schaller is still on the ground floor, and it's not like there's no danger there, aren't you worried?"
Xiao G was also stunned in his heart, rolled his eyes, borrowed the ladder to go down, and said with a smile: "You say that...... Hehe, I'm still really worried, and I'm hurt worse than you, I'm afraid I can't go any further. As he spoke, he glanced at the four wolffangs.
Abz said: "If you are afraid, go up, for it will be dangerous to go any further." He turned to Alice and said, "Anyone else who is also injured can go up." ”
Seeing him looking at herself, Alice said unhappily: "What are you looking at me for, I must go under the grave." ”
Wolf Fang also said, "I'm going down too, that's what I'm here for." ”
Cesaniel hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "If there are only three of you, I don't think this mausoleum can be discovered." I'll go with you. ”
A few people discussed, of course, Alligator and Little G hurriedly slipped, Wolf Fang They took care of Alice is a girl, let her stand at the entrance with one end of the rope, and the puppet of Abz led the other end to the maze, but the situation here, there is no way to leave a mark to recognize the way, so you can only rely on this rope.
......
The farther north the desert went, the less harsh the climate became, and Tempest spent thousands of gold coins to buy a strong griffon, and drove him and Hefimie to his lair. Because the situation is much better than in the central and southern regions, there are always villages and small towns in the desert, and from time to time there are patches of woods and herds of cattle, sheep and wild beasts, so that there is no need to worry about food for the griffins.
Before, the wind calculated the time, just in time for his sister Qin's wedding, and now he has flown into the depths of the desert, only a few dozen minutes away from his wind cave, Qin's wedding is tomorrow, and his hanging heart can finally be put down.
Hefimi grabbed Wind's clothes behind him, and said without words, "You care about your sister's wedding." ”
"My sister and I grew up together, and now Jean is my only relative, and this wedding is very important to me and her. ”
Hefimi was full of envy and said, "I don't know if I have a brother and sister as good as you." ”
The wind couldn't bear her sadness, and he never told her about her life and identity on the way, so he couldn't answer, so he had to keep silent. After flying for a while, he was finally able to see the Wind Cave, and the Wind stood up happily, and before the griffon could land, he had already flown up.
"Hey, you're waiting for me. Hefimi hurried up and grabbed the griffin by the neck and brought it to land.
The wind dusted off his body and walked happily towards the wind cave, but before he entered the sheltered valley, his face slowly changed with joy.
Hefimi caught up from behind, and when he saw that the pace of the wind had slowed down, he asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
"Something is wrong. The wind looked at the low hills on both sides and the empty valley in the middle, usually his men liked to drink and have fun at the top of this valley mouth, singing and dancing, and every day was like opening a party duì, but today it was deserted, and there was no sound at all. A bad premonition swelled up in Tempest's heart, and he quickly ran into the Tempest Cave. At first glance, there was no one in the Wind Cave!
"Jean, Jean, anyone, Ran!" shouted the wind in the valley, echoing incessantly, but no one answered his cry.
Hefimi shouted a few times, and seeing that the wind was in a hurry, he stepped forward and said, "Will they leave? Didn't you talk to me on the way about your more than one stronghold in the desert?"
Hurricane shook his head: "No, Jean's wedding has already been agreed to be held here, and he won't leave without my consent." The stage for the wedding is here, and they won't leave all of a sudden. Something must have happened, it must be!"
"But it doesn't look like anyone has ever attacked it. ”
A qiē in the valley is still well placed, neatly stacked wine barrels, pockets, all kinds of things built for the wedding, including equipped brand new wine glasses and tableware are still encapsulated in large wooden boxes, and there is no trace of messiness and chaos at all.
On the stage, the puppets of the bride and groom were pressed against a piece of paper, and when she pulled it out, it read: "Your sister and groom, and their men are in my hands, if you want them to be safe, bring the bloody red lotus to the rocky land eight kilometers east of you to exchange." If you don't come before your sister Qin's wedding, you will bear the consequences. ”
"Blood Weeping Red Lotus!" Swift immediately thought of the mysterious man he had met in the capital of King San Pecia, "Could it be him?"
The Blood Weeping Red Lotus he has always carried with him, placed in a different space, this thing is closely related to the Wind Capital, it is very important to him, but no matter how important it is, it can be more important than his sister?
"What's written on the paper?" Hefimie looked around to Tempest's side and asked, "Do you have such a thing as a Blood Weeping Red Lotus?"
"Yes. ”
"So what are you waiting for? We're going to save your sister. ”
"Hmm. The wind ran out of the valley, jumped back on the back of the griffon, and flew east with Hefium.
