Chapter 462: Cannibals
Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan glanced at each other, and the latter immediately asked, "What fire?" ”
Tian Bin said: "The subordinates noticed that there were figures around the ruins of the ancient city of Xiye, and they didn't dare to startle the snakes, so they didn't get too close, and saw from a distance that there was a bright little fire under the top of the ruined tower emerging from the desert, which lasted until dawn before disappearing. During this period, there was a strange sound in the ruins, very much like digging a stone wall, and in addition, there was occasionally a faint cry, but the wind and sand at night were strong, and the subordinates were not sure whether it was or not. ”
Xue Jinyi said: "Could it be that someone lives in seclusion in the ancient city of the West Night, avoiding this earthly world and not wanting outsiders to disturb him?" ”
Tian Bin said: "The subordinates originally had this conjecture, but those who were guarding the surroundings acted as fast as ghosts, and the subordinates thought...... That's not the case, is it? ”
"Think about the inn and the inexplicably missing people." Pu Yangxuan frowned, "It won't be that simple." ”
Xue Jinyi nodded, "Yes, those strange rumors...... So, it was the people in the ancient city of the West Night who kidnapped the missing person? What is the use of them kidnapping the missing? Isn't it a cannibal? ”
The white bones that suddenly appeared indicate that because of the shortage of food in the desert, the people of the ancient city kidnapped merchants to fill their stomachs?
Pu Yangxuan said: "Now that we are sure that there are people in the ancient city, the next thing is to determine what they do, it is really strange and dangerous to hide this group of people in the territory of the Great Zhou." ”
Tian Bin understood what the King of Chu meant, and arched his hand: "My subordinates will try their best to investigate again." ”
Pu Yangxuan advised: "Be careful in everything, don't be reluctant." ”
"My subordinates understand." Tian Bin withdrew.
Xue Jinyi said: "Fortunately, there are 2,000 people following us......"
"This is just like Shen Qingmo's intention, right?" Pu Yangxuan walked to the curtain and glanced outside, "Although I don't want it to go his way, we have to find out and solve this matter." ”
"Then I thought, for the peace of the Great Zhou, for the innocent businessmen in the past?" Xue Jinyi stepped forward and hugged her husband.
Pu Yang Xuan held her hand, "Before, wasn't Pu Yang also interested in the West Night Ancient City?" ”
"You want to give him the credit?"
"It's not bad either." Pu Yangxuan smiled indifferently: "Moreover, there is great power in numbers. ”
Xue Jinyi laughed.
The next day, the team continued to move forward, and Tian Bin brought back news one after another.
"The people guarding the ancient city of the West Night are very strong in martial arts, and they have mechanisms, so it is not easy to break through the past."
"The people of the prince also went, and they fought with the guards, not their opponents."
"I've tried all the methods, only during the day, when the wind and sand rise, maybe you can get closer, but you need someone who knows the way to lead, otherwise you will definitely get lost in the wind and sand."
"The subordinates are incompetent, and the organs under the desert are invincible, and they are not completely sure that they can break through."
“……”
The night before arriving at the Ancient City of the West Night, Tian Bin brought back a shocking piece of news.
"Out of the desert suddenly a team of men and horses appeared, they escorted a dozen people dressed like civilians, killed them in the desert, and then ......" he thought of that scene, and couldn't help but shudder again, when he saw this last night, Rao was about to vomit after killing people, "cut off their flesh piece by piece, and finally only a bloody bone and head remained, and before leaving, he poured a jar of black worms on the corpse...... It took less than a moment for the black bug to gnaw the corpse until only the white bones remained, and then the black bug burrowed into the ground and disappeared. ”
Tian Bin didn't say where the cut human flesh was taken by those people, but Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan both guessed it.
As Xue Jinyi thought before, they didn't want to "waste" that meat, so they took it back and ate it?
These people are no less ferocious than the Sogon people!
None of the three of them said anything.
"What might have been found on those corpses?" Xue Jinyi changed the subject.
Tian Bin said: "The subordinates have inspected the tattered clothes on the ground, which are the coarse linen clothes often worn by the poor people, which are already very dirty and torn, and the greasy dirt on them is mixed with some blood stains, and the subordinates speculate that these clothes have not been changed and washed for at least three or five years. ”
"Is this treating people as slaves...... Xue Jinyi said softly.
Tian Bin said: "In addition, although there are only white bones left, some people have scars on their bones, which look relatively new, they should have been very seriously injured recently, and it is almost impossible to live, but they were killed before they died." ”
Xue Jinyi said: "It seems that they are driving out the seriously injured and sick to kill them, and they are ...... Satiety, and secondly, to intimidate people who intend to approach the ancient city of the West Night? ”
"Quite possibly." Pu Yang Xuan responded, "What about those bugs? ”
"The subordinates searched and found no more bugs." Tian Bin shook his head.
Pu Yangxuan pondered for a moment and ordered: "Invite Ma Zhong and them to discuss important matters." He paused, "After a while, I'll find Shen Qingmo again." ”
"Yes!" Tian Bin took the order and went out.
Soon, Ma Zhong and the others came, and the sound of laughter came faintly when the door curtain was opened, and people were full of anticipation and yearning for the ancient city of the western night tomorrow, and they didn't know how much blood was buried under the magnificent landscape.
Pu Yangxuan simply told Ma Zhong and the others the news that Tian Bin had inquired about, and they were all shocked.
General Teng, who was in charge of leading the troops back to Fengzhou, opened his eyes wide and said in shock: "General Mo has been on the frontier for decades, and he has heard all kinds of strange rumors about the ancient city of Xiye, but he never knew that there was actually a group of extremely vicious living people living there?!" ”
If it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he would definitely regard it as an alarmist!
Pu Yangxuan said: "This group of people endangers the innocent people nearby, now that they know, there is no reason to indulge them!" ”
General Teng clenched his fists, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the last general is willing to lead his troops to the ancient city of the West Night to exterminate this group of gangsters!" ”
Pu Yangxuan nodded, "Before that, we need to know something from one person. ”
"Who?" General Teng couldn't wait to ask.
At this time, Tian Bin's voice sounded outside, "King Chu, Shen Qingmo is here." ”
"Let him in."
As soon as Shen Qingmo came in, he felt the solemn and low atmosphere in the tent, he smiled briskly at Pu Yangxuan, and asked, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I don't know what is the important matter of summoning the villain late at night?" ”
Pu Yangxuan's face was calm and indifferent, a pair of black eyes looked at Shen Qingmo without any emotion and emotion, and said word by word: "Boss Shen, we already know that there is a group of gangsters hidden in the West Night Ancient City, and you have been guiding us to the West Night Ancient City intentionally or unintentionally, should we tell us what you know now?" ”
