Chapter 296 Night, Here Are Ghosts(1/2)
During the day's journey, although we encountered some dangers along the way, they were all easily resolved.
Starting from the morning, we successfully arrived at the ancient country of Xiye in the evening.
There is an oasis in front of you, but it has dried up long ago.
The surrounding vegetation is not green at all.
"This place used to be flooded with sand and dust. A sandstorm blew away the sand and dust here two days ago," Moraka said.
In the dry oasis, there are still many ruins, which are relatively well preserved and are all adobe houses.
This is the ancient country of Xiye, which is also the former Xiye.
The place where the collective disappeared.
Zhou Sheng got off his horse and entered the earthen house to take a look. There were some simple furniture inside, but they were already in tatters.
He came out of the earthen house and looked at a dry river nearby.
"This is also a branch of the Kongque River."
"Yes." Moraka nodded.
"Let's go along the river." After Zhou Sheng said, everyone walked along the river.
They arrived at the ancient kingdom of Xiye, but had not yet entered the ancient tomb.
This is at most the fringe area of the Ancient Xiye Kingdom, and the people living here are all the people of Xiye who built the Ancient Xiye Kingdom.
Their bodies are not outside either, so they are most likely buried with them.
"Huhuhu..."
The breeze blew slowly, and there was some wind and sand in the air.
Everyone covered their mouths and noses, lowered their heads and followed Zhou Sheng.
"Zhou Sheng." Liuli shouted softly.
"Um?"
"Look at the sun, is it in the south?" Liuli said, pointing in the direction of the sun.
"The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. It should be in the west now." After Zhou Shenggang finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.
If the direction of the sun is west, then the direction you are walking now is east.
Wrong go!
Following the map instructions, after entering the outskirts of Xiye Ancient Kingdom, the next step is to go north.
The direction they are walking now is with their backs to the sunset, and they are walking eastward.
"It's strange. The branch of Kongque River obviously runs north-south. How could it go the wrong way?" Zhou Sheng was a little puzzled.
But we still changed our direction and stopped walking along the river. We went ashore and headed north.
"Sir, wait." Moraka quickly stopped Zhou Sheng.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"We can't believe the sun, let's continue walking along the river." Moraka said.
After hearing this, Zhou Sheng hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and continued walking along the river.
After walking for a while, the sun had not yet set and appeared to the east of them again.
"The Peacock River is winding in different directions, and the direction of looking at the sun is also different, but the Peacock River can guide us to the center of the ancient country in the Western Regions, but the sun cannot." Moraka explained.
As people living in the desert, they do not engage in agriculture and generally focus on transportation.
They do not identify the road based on the direction of the sun, but follow the traces of the road they have walked.
"Indeed." Zhou Sheng nodded.
Everyone continued walking along the Kongque River, and by nightfall, they had gone much deeper.
Everyone camped in the river to rest.
"Woooooooo..."
Just after midnight, the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling came from all directions, which was very pervasive.
The cold wind gusts, making people shudder.
It was as if the place turned into a ghost overnight.
In all directions, there were will-o'-the-wisps burning, floating in the air like skeletons.
The sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling kept ringing, disturbing everyone so they dared not sleep.
Zhou Sheng closed his eyes and heard a faint rustling sound.
Something is approaching.
Zhou Sheng stood up and pulled out Tai'a Sword, and the fire of guarding the mausoleum wrapped Tai'a Sword.
He held his sword and drew a fire ring around the place where everyone rested to prevent dirty things from approaching.
As for the will-o'-the-wisps floating in the air, Zhou Sheng could also see that they were formed by fire phosphorus insects.
"There are so many fire phosphorus bugs in the ancient Xiye Kingdom." Zhou Sheng couldn't help but say, looking at the business interface of his system, there was actually an insecticide spray, worth five points a bottle.
Every time Zhou Sheng goes to a place, the system mall and lottery interface will change.
However, Zhou Sheng has been saving points to no avail.
He wanted to accumulate enough points to redeem the Xuanyuan Sword in the system space.
Zhou Sheng looked at the approaching fire phosphorus, gritted his teeth and exchanged for three bottles of insecticide spray.
"This is an insecticidal watering can. Once the fire phosphorus flies over, just spray it on them."
Moraka picked up a bottle of insecticide spray, and the other two bottles were picked up by Zhang Xinshan and Hong Erye.
Zhou Sheng jumped out of the ring of fire to find the source of the sound.
He followed the sound and looked for it, using his night vision ability to see those things.
They are a group of venomous scorpions, all black in color, and the barbs on their tails contain venom.
They are small in size, no bigger than a palm, but there are many of them.
Zhou Sheng made a ball of fire and threw it over. The fireball exploded, but the group of poisonous scorpions were not affected at all.
"The fire of guarding the mausoleum is useless?"
Zhou Sheng was dumbfounded.
The fire of guarding the mausoleum is more powerful than ordinary flames, and is known as the nemesis of all evil spirits.
But it has no effect on these poisonous scorpions.
The poisonous scorpions were still approaching and soon crawled to Zhou Sheng's feet. Zhou Sheng raised his foot and trampled them to death.
Although they are not afraid of the fire of the tomb guard, they can still kill them.
Zhou Sheng swung the Tai'a sword, thrust out the sword, and strung them all on the Tai'a sword like skewers of candied haws.
But there are a lot of them, and most of them are approaching the ring of fire.
Zhou Sheng sacrificed a milky-white wind bead and moved it with Gang Qi.
"The wind is coming!"
A strong wind blew in, and the fire phosphorus flying in the air and the poisonous scorpions crawling on the ground were all swept up by the strong wind.
With a push from Zhou Sheng's palm, the strong wind blew away all the poisonous scorpions and fire phosphorus insects.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for solving the black gold poisonous scorpion and the fire phosphorus insect and gaining twenty points!]
The system's cold voice sounded in Zhou Sheng's mind.
When Zhou Sheng got the key, the process of guarding the dragon veins in the ancient kingdom of Xiye had already begun.
Zhou Sheng walked back and sat down. Although the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling still sounded intermittently, everyone got used to it and quickly fell asleep.
Tonight is a fairly peaceful night.
The danger will begin tomorrow when we enter the tomb of the ancient Xiye Kingdom.
…
in the channel.
The people of the Tianzun Society eliminated the fire phosphorus and poisonous scorpions along the way and moved forward quickly.
The passage they took was built by Hou Xiye. The passage leading directly to the ancient country of Xiye was a straight road with no twists and turns.
Apart from being a bit dangerous, there's nothing else about it.
Under the leadership of the Tianzunhui tombkeepers, everyone walked for a day and arrived outside the ancient tomb of Xiye Ancient Kingdom.
The ancient tomb of Xiye Ancient Kingdom has not yet been opened, and the entrance is buried by yellow sand.
Although they could go in directly, they didn't.
"Sir, we can go in and make arrangements in advance." The people from the Tianzun Association said.
"In the ancient country of the Western Region, once we enter, we will be in the game. Let's wait until the tomb guardians go in and break the trap, and then we can go in again." The tomb guardians of the Tianzun Association said.
As long as you step into the ancient country of Xiye, you will encounter danger.
