The frescoes on this wall have survived the ages and are still spectacular. As for some mottled places, they are more and more exuding the vicissitudes of history.

"Brother Duan, do you think this mural is realistic or exaggerated?" Zhao Yanling asked curiously.

"Of course it's both, I believe there was once such a huge castle in the Sheepbone Desert, but it was destroyed in an inexplicable battle. As for the mighty fire phoenix on the mural, it should be just a totem of intention. Duan Yu narrated his analysis.

"Brother Duan, I don't agree with your statement, in fact, on the land of true martial arts, there is a high-level demon beast like the fire phoenix. Sima said ruthlessly.

Duan Yu looked at him deeply, frowned, and said, "Brother, have you ever seen the Fire Phoenix?"

"Although I haven't seen it, when my grandfather traveled to the land of Zhenwu, he was fortunate to see the fire phoenix in this sheep bone desert. Ten years ago, my grandfather told me about his dangerous experience. ”

Sima ruthlessly saw that everyone was listening so intently, and there were still bursts of sandstorms outside, so he was in the sound, infusing some internal force a little, and said: "Many years ago, my grandfather followed an adventure team and happened to encounter the ruins of an ancient castle in the sheepbone desert, and after entering, they found treasures, but they didn't need these belongings, so they tried their best to find treasures that were useful to the warriors. Eventually, one of the people found a red bead, and several people around him went to grab it. ”

"As a result, did your grandfather grab that mysterious bead?" Zhao Yanling guessed.

"Of course not, if you grab it, you won't save your life at all. The men had just approached. They were caught in flames from nowhere, and they were left to roll on the ground as hard as they could. The fire was not extinguished. The men were reduced to ashes, and my grandfather and the rest of the adventuring party fled in all directions. ”

Sima relentlessly looked at the dark void ahead. His gaze seemed very far away, and he fell into a deep memory, and said: "That mysterious red bead actually turned into a fire phoenix, and in the process of flying, it became very large. The flames on his body were very strong, and everywhere he passed, he was ablaze. ”

"Then your grandfather joined forces with these warriors to fight fiercely, and finally slay such a high-level demon beast. Do you want to get its precious materials?" Duan Yu smiled.

"How is that possible? Do you really think my grandfather is invincible in the world? At that time, there were indeed three masters of the Innate Jindan realm who tried their best, but they were killed by the fire phoenix in a few back and forth, and they were also turned into ashes, and there were no bones. As for my grandfather, he took advantage of this time to run away. At that time, the others were scattered and fled, and the fire phoenix chased and killed more than a dozen warriors before giving up. Sima said ruthlessly.

Although he told the process very briefly, Duan Yu and his teammates could imagine what a thrilling scene it was at that time.

"Have you ever asked your grandfather? The specific location of that ancient castle is not where we are now?" Zhao Yanling asked.

"Of course not, my grandfather once said that the castle is very deep in the Sheepbone Desert. And the ruins of this ancient city that we have found now. It's just the size of a small town. Sima said ruthlessly.

"But I want to ask, when your grandfather encountered the Fire Phoenix, what realm of martial arts cultivation was there?" asked Ouyang Wudi.

"It is also the innate Jindan realm. What's there to ask about this. Sima said ruthlessly.

"It seems that he is really timid! If it were me, I should have fought hard with my teammates at that time. What if we win? Wouldn't it be possible to make a name for myself by killing the Great Demon Fire Phoenix?"

Sima ruthlessly felt that the old man's past was indeed a little embarrassing. So he chose silence.

However, Duan Yu smiled and said: "I still think that Old Man Sima has made the most correct choice, stay in the green mountains, and I am not afraid of running out of firewood." Besides, there is no deep hatred between him and the Fire Phoenix at all, so there is no need to fight desperately. An immature man like you will often choose to die a glorious death for a certain ideal, while a mature man like Mr. Sima will live humbly for more ideals. ”

Duan Yu's words couldn't help but make everyone laugh, only Ouyang Wushu scratched his head, felt a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Am I really immature?"

Then, his teammates all looked at him and nodded in unison.

At this moment, Ouyang Invincible almost felt dizzy.

Then they chatted for a while, but they couldn't let anyone in the group fall asleep from exhaustion.

It must be known that in such a place, once you fall asleep, you can't resist the influence of the surrounding environment, that is, after falling asleep, most of you will never wake up again.

I thought it would be a long wait, but in the process of everyone's happy chat, time passed quickly, and before I knew it, the sound of sandstorms outside and the sound of many monsters screaming had stopped.

Perhaps because the sandstorm stopped, those demon beasts finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then rested one after another.

"Let's go up and have a look, now I suddenly feel safe, but I'm tired. Zhao Yanling said.

"It's always been safe, okay?" Sima grinned ruthlessly.

He has now gradually learned how to influence his sweetheart's affection, and he will not blindly flatter, and appropriate denial, or joking, which is very effective.

As a smart person, this method was not taught by Duan Yu, but he himself comprehended it based on observation.

Then, Duan Yu led everyone to climb out of the gap at the top of this stone room. A thick layer of sand had been piled up outside, and everyone was disgraced and looked wolfish because of it.

They looked at each other, and everyone laughed.

The number of monsters around them has decreased by a large part, and it is believed that they did not find a good place to hide from the sandstorm and were buried under the thick sand.

The surviving demon beasts were resting, and suddenly saw Duan Yu and them appear, and they all roared again.

"Just kick them out, and make up for their drowsiness, while it's not yet fully dawning. Duan Yu said in a calm voice.

"But there are still a lot of demon beasts in front of us! If we fight desperately, we may be injured. Zhao Yanling said.

"It's okay, I see that their momentum has been wiped out by the sandstorm in these few hours, and now they are all at the end of the crossbow, if you don't believe it, I'll try to show you now. Duan Yu finished speaking, and cast Ling Bo micro-steps and flashed past.

With a sonorous sound, the Qingfeng Slashing Knife was already out of its sheath, and then Duan Yu used the "Flame Knife", "Wood-burning Knife Method" and "Dharma Demon Knife Method" among the seventy-two Shaolin stunts, and by the way, he should also be familiar with the knife technique.

In an instant, a large number of swords carrying flames swept towards the surrounding area like the waves of the sea, and the demon beasts couldn't dodge one after another, screaming and being killed. The flames made the beast's fur burnt and wisps of smoke.

"Sure enough, it's very advantageous to work at ease, so I'm not welcome!" Zhao Yanling smiled, and then she pulled out her long sword and went over to help.

"There's a lot of fun, of course I'm going to make it up. Ouyang Invincible smiled casually, and the long sword turned into a shocking and flew past.

"Brother Ouyang, please don't always learn my mantra, okay?" Sima sighed ruthlessly and went to fight.

Long Teng and the sword maniac joined forces to kill the demon beast on the left, and those silver-armored guards glanced at each other, and then nodded in unison: "Let's hurry up and protect Young Master Yanling!"

When everyone heard this, they were quite speechless, because the silver-armored guards believed that protecting their masters was the most important thing at any time and under any circumstances.

"Who needs your protection at all times? besides, in the ancient town of Styx, you fell for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and you didn't protect me at all. Now is really the time when I am happy to kill the demon beast, who will hinder me, then I will have to hurt him. Zhao Yanling said unceremoniously.

The silver-armored guards all felt embarrassed, and they all laughed and stepped back, and then symbolically went to fight the demon beast.

Even if there were a few high-level demon beasts, the momentum on their side had already collapsed, so the demon beasts had no choice but to flee outside.

After a cup of tea, the ruins of the ancient city became empty.

It's just that there is too much sand piled up on the ground, which looks a little strange.

"I'm curious, after so many years of sandstorms, why haven't the ruins of this ancient city been annihilated?" Sima ruthlessly frowned and sighed.

"The cold wind at night can gradually blow away the sand here, so when I first arrived at the ruins of the ancient city last night, the sand accumulated on the ground was not thick. Duan Yu explained.

"Brother Duan, why are you able to figure out so many questions that seem to us to be very difficult to figure out?" Zhao Yanling stared at Duan Yu and smiled.

"If you look carefully and think quietly, the problem will often be solved. Truth be told, I'm not much smarter than you. Duan Yu said.

Then, everyone hurried to find a suitable place in the stone chamber of the ruins of the ancient city and fell asleep.

Only two silver-armored guards were left to stand guard, and after half an hour, the guards could replace each other.

The rest of the people took this opportunity to take a complete rest.

Yesterday they were so tired that they slept heavily after a day of chasing Lu in the blazing sun and scorching heat of the sheepbone desert, and tonight they were sheltering from the sandstorm in the rotten underground stone chamber.

Long after daybreak, the blazing sun shone down again, and the temperature of the desert rose rapidly.

Even the ruins of the ancient city, where the sun does not shine, become very hot. Because the air was so stuffy, everyone woke up one after another.

"Friends, the difficult trek is about to start again, cheer up!" Duan Yu said loudly. (To be continued......)
