Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 57 Loulan Ruins
In the center of the Kingdom of Wind, there are a few forests that are not too small. These forests add a rare green color to the interior of the Kingdom of Wind, which is covered with yellow sand.

Running around in the water bay forest in the Land of Wind, along the small river, Lan gallops here at high speed.

From the map, the Loulan ruins are to the west of the Shuiwan forest.

It took Lan a whole week to reach this forest, during which he also experienced two sandstorms.

During this week, Lan's bounty has soared to [-] million taels. Now everyone in the ninja world knows that Lan can summon the terracotta army. Out of necessity, the two countries have actively contacted the kingdom of ghosts.

There is also Kakuto from Akatsuki's organization. He just arrived in the Land of Earth before leaving for the Land of Ghosts to look for Lan. The long-eyed ninja then hurriedly turned towards the land of the wind.

Not only Kakuzu, but also some other ninjas who are proud of their reputation, either for fame or profit, they prepared supplies and broke into the Land of Wind after a simple decision.

For a while, the border of the Land of Winds became extremely chaotic. In order to stabilize the situation, the daimyo of the Land of Winds had to allocate funds to Hidden Sand Village to control the border situation as soon as possible.

For Sand Hidden Village, which is short of funds, the ninjas were sent to the border after getting the funds. As the leader of the Sand Ninja, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, after arranging Chiyo and others to manage the village on his behalf, he disappeared with a secret team. After leaving Sand Hidden Village, no one except Chiyo knew where he went. For a while, rumors in Sand Hidden Village kept coming and going.

Among the rumors, the most recognizable one is that Sidai Kazekage led his team to the Loulan ruins, and because of rumors on the black market, Yue Yinglan went to the Loulan ruins.

Lan didn't know anything about this. He had already reached the westernmost edge of the jungle. After stepping on a branch and jumping forward, Lan slowly heard the loess.

Looking around, a ruins of a building buried in yellow sand appeared before Lan's eyes.

The scale of the ruins is extremely large, which can be seen from the raised broken walls.

On the three sides of the ruins, there are high mountains full of wind and sand.

Loulan was originally a basin city. Relying on natural barriers, the people of Loulan lived very freely. Apart from dealing with bad weather, they had nothing to face.

But all this changed a few years ago. Loulan, who experienced a disaster, lost the chakra dragon veins that protected them. Loulan.

The proud daimyo thought he would get the orb of this desert, but the moment his warrior army broke through Loulan, an unprecedented sandstorm ushered in.

The overwhelming sandstorm completely turned Loulan, which had experienced the flames of war, into ruins, and then, the sandstorm buried the ruins again.

Seeing that the fruit of his victory was destroyed, the daimyo of the country of wind withdrew his army in disappointment, leaving only the Loulan people who had lost their homes.

After Loulan was buried, the Loulan people whose homes were completely destroyed wandered around the Loulan ruins under the leadership of the queen.

"hu~hu~hu~"

The wind kept blowing, and the fine sand was blown into the sky by the wind.

Standing on the rock covered with fine sand, Lan put on the windproof cloak again, then put on the bamboo hat and walked quickly against the wind.

Stepping on the desert, Lan moved rapidly, and within two steps, Lan felt something under his feet.

He raised his feet, and before he had time to bend down to observe, the strong wind blew the fine sand under Lan's feet aside, and as the fine sand left, a white bone wearing iron armor was revealed from the ground.

Seeing the white bone, Lan couldn't help but step back, lowered his head and looked at the white bone carefully, there were traces of insects and ants gnawing on the white bone, judging from the armor, this bone should be a warrior from the Land of Winds.

It seems that the sandstorm should have come relatively quickly, otherwise the generals of the Kingdom of Wind would not have left the corpse behind.

Lan raised his head again, stood on the sand, and looked around.

Looking around, there are some bones exposed in the desert.

Some wore armor, others had only a few rags.

He got up and walked in front of a bone wearing rags, squatted down halfway, and used the wind to blow off the sand on the bone.

After all the sand was blown away, a skeleton with severed ribs appeared before Lan's eyes.

He reached out and took off the rag from the skull, the pattern on it was very rare.

If I guessed right, this bone should be from Loulan.

Throwing the rag in the wind casually, Lan got up and prepared to go directly to the ruins.

Before she got up and ran a few steps, Lan felt a pain in her ankle.

He stopped and looked down, only to see a rusty steel fork cut his ankle.

Frowning, he took a step aside, and the recovery power of Qianshou's blood made the wound start to heal. When Lan landed on the ground, his ankle became extremely smooth.

Standing in the desert ravaged by wind and sand, Lanyun picked up his chakra coat and glanced at the battlefield, and then started to run across the desert.

Countless white bones and rusty weapons exposed in the desert were all smashed into powder by Lan's chakra coat.

Lan ran wildly, with nothing but dust behind him.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Lan ran outside the ruins and stood beside a cylindrical khaki solid like a pillar. Lan began to search for the place leading to the dragon's vein.

The wind and sand are raging, and time is passing by bit by bit.

Lan, who stood in the ruins and searched for a long time, couldn't find the underground stairs leading to the dragon's vein. Logically, there should be a vacuum here, but why couldn't he find it.

Lan stood on a broken wall engraved with Loulan patterns.

Standing on the spot and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Lan picked up the water bottle to drink some water. Just as Lan picked up the water bottle and poured water into his mouth, two women with luxurious clothes and red hair riding on the desert came from Came across the desert.

One of them, a red-haired woman in her thirties, came to the ruins. After jumping off the camel, she threw the camel into the hands of a girl who looked almost the same as her but was not too old. She had a calm expression on her face. Walked towards Lan.

Seeing the two people approaching, Lan stretched out her chakra to feel it. The two women didn't have chakra in their bodies, but there was a trace of strange energy.

Not sure what the two of them came for, Lan put away the water bottle and pressed his hand to the hilt of the Amazono Sword at his waist.

The woman walking towards Lan stopped five meters away from Lan and asked, "Are you here to fulfill the promise you made back then?"

"Huh? The promise back then?"

Lan frowned in confusion.

Seeing Lan frowning, the woman lowered her head and sighed: "Well, I forgot, you haven't gone anywhere yet, if that's the case, then let me help you."

After finishing speaking, the woman lifted her skirt and stepped on the gravel to a flat ground.

After stopping, the woman turned her head and said to Lan: "Come here, it's right here, below is the dragon's veins."

Hearing the woman's words, Lan asked as she walked, "You are the Queen of Loulan."

"Ah."

The woman raised her head and hummed proudly, then lowered her head and said with a wry smile: "In the past, you were right. I should lead my subjects out of this place as soon as possible."

"..."

Lan was silent, he didn't know what the woman would say now.

Seeing Lan's silence, the woman shook her head and said, "Okay, let's not say more, you will know what I'm talking about when you untie the dragon's veins."

After finishing speaking, the woman retreated behind Lan and pointed to the desert in front of Lan and said to Lan, "Use your ninjutsu to push aside this desert."

Hearing the woman's words, for some reason, the vigilance in Lan's heart suddenly dissipated.

Frowning and nodding his head lightly, Lan raised his hands and made a seal to use the earth escape to push away the desert that the woman pointed at.

The sand is scattered toward the east and west as if being pushed by two transparent walls. When all the sand is pushed away, a flat ground is revealed.

There are clear traces of dead grass on the ground.

Seeing this piece of ground, the woman's eyes showed a trace of nostalgia, she raised her mouth and smiled, and she said to Lan: "That's right, it's here, below is the Lost Tower, walk down the stairs, you You will see the sealing circle that seals the last dragon vein."

"Okay." Lan responded to the woman, and then began to dig the soil with the earth tunnel. After digging twice, the soil in front of her collapsed.

After the smoke and dust passed, a cylindrical pit of unknown depth appeared in front of Lan's eyes, and around the pit, there were circles of stairs standing around the pit.

Lan glanced at the stone steps, then stepped on them and walked down.

The moment Lan went down, the woman turned around and walked to the camel.

After taking out an old water jug ​​from the bag next to the camel, the woman lifted the cork and lifted the water jug ​​like Lanna to drink.

Seeing her like this, the young girl standing beside her couldn't help asking: "Mom, is that boy the one who made the promise with you back then?"

"Yeah." The woman nodded and said, "He was the one who rescued Loulan from Anlu Mountain. Let's wait. When he comes out, everything will be clear."

Then the two found a clean broken wall and sat down to wait.

At the same time, after jumping an unknown number of stone steps, Lan finally reached the bottom of the Lost Tower.

At the bottom of the Lost Tower is a ring-shaped building with a raised cylindrical stone platform in the middle. Connecting the stone platform is a section of stone road that is not too wide.

Around the stone road, there is a circle of bottomless ravines.

Although he didn't know how deep it was, Lan didn't seem to try at all. After he reached the stone road, he picked up Chakra and quickly passed the stone road to the top of the stone platform.

On the stone platform, as soon as he stepped on the stone platform, the stone platform shone with purple light. Before Lan could react, the purple light swallowed Lan.

The purple light soared into the sky, and after a while the purple light disappeared, and with it, Lan stood inside.
