Chapter 958: Arrival, Exquisite Ancient City
After a storm caused by a mirage, the team continued on their way, and when they arrived, they were only two days away from Zagrama.
There is no water replenishment point in the middle, but now because it is the wind season, the sand layer of the Black Desert has been blown off due to the trade winds, and it is much shallower.
If there is a need, in the case of insufficient drinking water, Ouyang Fei and they can also dig a well directly on the spot, they have been advancing along the Ziduyan River, digging down two or three zhang, and they can get water replenishment at any time.
With Ouyang Fei leading the way, the quicksand belt along the way did not cause any obstacles to the team, and all of them were successfully bypassed.
In the past few days, there has not been a trace of wind in the desert, the sun has been hanging in the sky for an extraordinarily long time, and some soldiers have suffered from heat stroke and fever, but in front of Ouyang Fei's dead wood spring technique, this is not a problem.
Two days later, Ouyang Fei suddenly pointed to Chen Yulou and the others behind him: "Look, that's Zagrama Mountain." ”
Everyone stared in the direction Ouyang Fei pointed, and sure enough, they saw that at the end of the line of sight, there was a faint black line, but it was far away, and it was not clear at all if they didn't look carefully.
Luo Lao raised the telescope crookedly, and saw a little more clearly, only to see a black mountain range, like a stationary black dragon in the yellow sand, the mountain range was cut off from it, and there was a mountain pass in the middle.
In this sea of death, two huge black mountains stand opposite each other against the sun, like two ancient warriors in black armor, silently guarding ancient secrets.
Luo Lao Crooked was in good spirits, and shouted: "Brothers, let's get to the place! Work harder, strive to enter the Exquisite Ancient City before the sun sets, Lao Tzu wants to have dinner in the palace of the Exquisite Queen, haha." ”
When the soldiers and the warriors who were originally tired enough heard this, they immediately lifted their spirits, shouted "shake off", and their tired bodies seemed to be injected with a new vitality, and they all accelerated their paces and walked quickly towards the huge black mountain.
Ou Jingyan smiled crookedly at Luo Lao: "Yes, Luo Shuai, I've been with us for a long time, and I've made a lot of progress, I remember that when I was building a museum in Lao Xiongling, I asked you to say a few words to boost your morale, but you held back for a long time and said 'open'." ”
"Poof"
As soon as they heard Ou Jingyan's words, the red girl and Mucha couldn't hold back their laughter, and Chen Yulou and the others were also happy.
Luo Lao was also amused, and laughed: "That's, that's what...... Ah yes, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, how can there be no progress at all?"
"Hahahaha......"
As the saying goes, the lookout mountain runs a dead horse, and it seems that it is not far away, but the people walked for five or six hours, and it was not until night fell that they finally reached the foot of Zagrama.
Ouyang Fei patted Partridge Whistle on the shoulder and said with a smile: "How is it?
Partridge Whistle smiled bitterly: "It's been 2,000 years, what can you think? Although this is the birthplace of moving mountains, I really can't mention the slightest sense of belonging." ”
Ouyang Fei nodded slowly with emotion, and said no more, and when the troops drove to the entrance of the valley, Ouyang Fei stopped the troops, "Luo Shuai, let the brothers camp and rest outside this valley! ”
Luo Lao asked in confusion, "Why is this?" I just said that I want to go to the palace of the Absolute Queen for dinner. ”
Ouyang Fei explained: "Because there is a force shrouded in the Absolute Ancient City, that is, the curse of the Absolute Queen, anyone who enters the Absolute Ancient City will be haunted by the curse and will not live to be forty years old. ”
"And there is also a kind of strange snake that emerges at night during the day, which is as fast as lightning and extremely venomous, and once it bites a person, it can kill a person in a few seconds. ”
"But these snakes are afraid of light, and strong light can even kill them, and they dare not come out during the day, and they must wait until tomorrow, when we have blessed the brothers with protective spells, before they can enter. ”
When Luo Laowei, Chen Yulou and the others heard this, they subconsciously glanced at the partridge whistle, and their hearts sank.
Luo Lao said crookedly: "Okay, then wait another day, it's all here, it's not too late, Xiao Li, order the troops, camp and rest." ”
"Yes. ”
The troops set up camp on the side of Zagrama Mountain, deliberately avoiding the entrance of the valley, Ouyang Fei and a few people walked to the mouth of the valley, and their senses were swept away, and sure enough, they found that there were several black-eyed strange snakes entrenched in the valley at the entrance.
His prudence was right, there were too many troops, these snakes were too fast, and they were so poisonous that if they were not guaranteed to be killed all at once, they would kill a few of them.
Ouyang Fei said to a few people: "Let's go, we have something to do tonight, and make all those runic papers that have been blessed with mana into talismans, which can isolate the radiation of the bottomless ghost cave and the hallucinogenic aura of the corpse incense konjac." ”
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, the sun had not yet risen, the troops had been assembled, and the satchels carried by Ouyang Fei and the five of them on their waists had become bulging, and all the talisman paper that was originally contained in it had been made into triangular talismans.
Ouyang Fei and the five of them walked to the front of the queue side by side at some distance from each other, and Luo Lao crooked to the side and said loudly: "Now, listen to my order, adjust the formation to five columns, and then from beginning to end, step forward to Brother Ou and them in turn to receive a talisman." ”
"I want to come out of the exquisite ancient city with gold and jade treasures, so I put the talisman for Lao Tzu, the talisman of Brother Ou, it is not comparable to what I asked for in the temple, it is a real talisman with mana. ”
"Don't talk about it, you know it in your hearts, now, get moving. ”
The troops quickly changed formation, and then began to come forward in groups of five to collect the amulet, and the people who got the amulet lined up, and when they put the amulet in their pockets, a yellow light that they could not see enveloped them.
This mana can block the invasion of other energies on their bodies, the rays in the bottomless ghost cave are a kind of energy, and the hallucinogenic aura emitted by the corpse incense konjac is also a kind of energy, with this amulet, they can be protected from the curse of the ghost cave and the influence of the corpse incense konjac.
When everyone in the team received the amulet, the sky was a little brighter, and the east was already glowing.
Ouyang Fei and the others' divine senses found that the black-eyed snakes in the valley had all been entrenched in the snake cave to sleep because the sky was bright, so after issuing the talisman, Ouyang Fei said that it was time to pull it out.
Chen Yulou's talisman had naturally been obtained at the beginning, and the team immediately set off, and when they passed through the valley, the sky finally dawned.
A dark red crack opened in the eastern sky, and the dark red light slowly turned into rose, blood red, and finally turned into ten thousand golden lights, and the sun finally came out, and at this moment, the boundless sea of sand seemed to have turned into gold in the furnace of God.
In this golden molten desert, a huge city was unfolded in front of everyone, with countless broken walls, various houses and buildings of bricks, wood and earth, countless towers in the city, and the most prominent was a black stone tower that had been tilted, standing quietly in the middle of the city.
