So, it's a deserted city?

When Nanyan heard this, his brows furrowed, isn't that a mountain? How did it become a city again?

However, when I got closer and looked closely, I faintly realized that there was indeed a city around the mountain.

Or rather, in the middle of the city, there is a mountain.

The city was very large, and the surrounding walls were high, but it was obvious that it was in a dilapidated state, and even several huge gaps could be seen, and the towers were also in a state of semi-collapse, and the whole thing looked like a deserted earthen city.

That's the deserted city.

At this moment, a muffled thunder sounded above their heads.

In the grassland, the thunder could be transmitted far away, even as if it was under their feet, shaking the earth slightly.

In an instant, the rain was pouring down.

The rain on the grassland is very fierce, and there are silver-gray rain curtains in front of you, making it almost impossible to see the surroundings; The raindrops the size of beans hit the body, and it was cold and painful, and it even seemed to beat people shorter.

On the ground, there are puddles everywhere.

At this time, they galloped and finally ran to the bottom of the castle in the deserted city.

This tall city tower, as Nanyan saw before, collapsed more than half, and the city gate was wide open, half of which had already decayed into a pile of sawdust on the side of the road, and half of it was hanging aside, supported only by a rotten nail.

I'm afraid that if I touch it, I will fall down at any time.

However, after entering the city gate, there was a shelter above his head, and he was finally able to hide from the rain, Nanyan turned over and got off the horse, and the whole person was still a little trembling.

Munch hurried over to help her.

And his own hands are cold.

Nanyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why is the rain on the grassland so heavy?" ”

Munch's face was already a little pale, but he still had a little smile, and said, "It's always been like this." Are you okay? ”

"I'm fine."

"That's good."

Everyone dismounted and barely rested.

Then, Nanyan's gaze looked at the back of the castle tower.

This deserted city.

Behind the castle tower, you can see many houses in this deserted city, arranged in neat streets, just like ordinary cities.

The only difference is that these houses are mud houses, but they are completely deserted.

I don't know how many years I haven't lived there, the doors and windows of the houses have been broken, and many of the tulou buildings have even collapsed for the most part, and the adobe has peeled off, revealing the beams and pillars of the wooden branches inside.

There was no one on the streets.

Only the rain poured down and fell to the ground, splashing a muddy soup.

This is really a deserted city.

Nanyan said softly: "Wizards, they're in this?" ”

Munch said in a deep voice: "That's what he said in the letter. ”

"But it looks like there's no one here."

"It's hard to say such a big city."

Truly.

The city was so big, they just glanced at the gates.

Besides, the letter from the wizard before also said that they had been attacked and retreated to this deserted city.

The people who attacked them are hard to keep around here.

Even, ready to do something to them.

Moreover, Nanyan looked at Munch's expression and found that his expression was more solemn, obviously, he was still very cautious about this deserted city that seemed empty.

Nan Yan said: "Here, will there be danger?" ”

Munch didn't answer her directly, but bowed his head to her and said, "Don't be afraid. ”

“……”

Then, he turned his head and said, "Temur." ”

The big man immediately walked over: "What does the emperor command?" ”

"Send the order down and send a group of men into the city to explore and see if there are any people here. By the way, also look for traces of the wizard and his group. ”

"Yes."

"Remember, be careful."

"Understood."

The Temur immediately went down to deliver the message, and soon a group of men and horses were assembled, but instead of riding, they walked straight in.

Those who stayed behind continued to stand under the castle tower to avoid the rain.

The other attendants found two large clean stones, spread their clothes for Munch and Nanyan to sit on, and lit a fire in front of them to dry their clothes.

Still, there was wind, mixed with rain, that kept blowing on them.

Nanyan was trembling when Munch sat down with her.

It just so happened that the wind and rain were blocked for her.

Nanyan glanced at him.

At this time, the sky was already very dark, and only the light of the fire shone on his face, and he could clearly see the natural curvature of the corners of his mouth.

It seems warm.

Nan Yan said: "Thank you. ”

Munch glanced at her, only smiled, and did not speak.

Nanyan put his hands close to the fire, and bursts of warmth hit. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned her head to look out of the city gate, and in the vast rain curtain, some black figures suddenly appeared.

Nanyan said: "Huh? Anyone? ”

"Who?"

When the people around heard this, they all turned their heads to look.

However, when I looked closely, there was nothing left but a dense silver-gray rain curtain in front of me.

Nanyan said: "Maybe, I was wrong." ”

After a while, the rain gradually stopped, but the sky around was completely dark.

And none of the people they sent out have yet to return.

It's been more than an hour.

Could it be that something is wrong?

Nanyan couldn't help but remember that on the gourd island in Xingluo Lake before, she and Zhu Feng walked around for a while, and when they came back, none of the subordinates stationed in the same place were gone.

This time, it was they who stayed where they were.

But those who go out to explore the way never come back.

Nan Yan was faintly clouded with a haze in his heart, and said softly: "They, nothing will happen, right?" ”

Munch glanced down at her.

At this time, Temur came over and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it is getting late, we must find a place to rest." ”

“……”

"It's a little late, and it's cold."

In the grasslands, the temperature varies greatly between day and night, and the sun is warm during the day, and at night, the water can drip into ice.

Munch thought for a moment and said, "Well, gather all the men and horses and go into the city together to find a place to stay." ”

"Yes."

Temur quickly gathered all the people.

Everyone put out the fire, held torches, and walked into this deserted city.

Munch and Nanyan each led their horses and walked side by side, and Munch whispered to her again, "Be sure to follow me." ”

Nanyan glanced up at him: "Hmm." ”

The group walked slowly down the barren and wide streets.

The light of the fire barely illuminated the crumbling mud houses around them, and there was no sound in the whole city, only the sound of their footsteps.

It's eerily quiet.

In a few moments, they had come to the end of a street, and in front of them, was an intersection.

I don't know which way to go.

At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from behind him.

It was as if something had crashed to the ground.
