Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

More than half an hour later.

Una finally ended the interrogation.

After being in the Western Regions for so long, everyone has more or less learned a few words of Uyghur, so a simple greeting is not a problem at all, but when something important happens, it is best for her to be the translator.

As for Pat.

After all, he came from a low-income family and had not witnessed much of the blood and gore in the underworld.

The result of the interrogation.

It was exactly as they had guessed early on.

There are two teams in the city.

One group crossed Central Asia and crossed the Kunlun Mountains.

That is, the thirteen corpses hanged on the city gate.

The other group was a group of guys with their hands and feet tied.

His name is Hoja.

I heard that he is a descendant of a saint.

Chen Yulou didn't take it too seriously.

Most of the Uyghur people I met along the way had very long names, and their names were also very strange.

According to Hoja.

Their team is extremely large, with nearly a hundred people.

A mixed bag.

Most of them were bandits from southern Xinjiang, mixed with a small number of defeated Russian soldiers.

At first, they moved back and forth between Shule and Shache.

They committed murder, arson, and robbery of traveling merchants, and were not afraid of any evil deeds.

Until I met that group of foreigners passing through the border.

Although most people in Central Asia have blond hair and blue eyes, there are still great differences between them.

What's more.

Merchants on the Ancient Silk Road.

Rarely do they carry large numbers of weapons.

The bandit leader keenly noticed that there was something wrong with that group of people.

So he resolutely detained the team.

After some severe torture.

They actually asked me some questions.

Those people came from the distant European continent and they talked about and did investigations.

But the real purpose is to come to an ancient city in the black desert.

In fact, Marco Polo's rumors about the East have always been circulating in Europe.

The gold, porcelain, silk, brocade and jade described in the biography.

All of them have stimulated adventurers of all generations.

However, Europe and Asia are too far apart, and drifting on the sea often takes several years, and few people can accurately reach the Eastern Continent.

For these reasons, they chose to take a detour through Central Asia.

And the reason for all this.

It all started with an explorer named Stan Ying.

According to him, when he was wandering in the Western Regions, he accidentally broke into a black desert. As a result, the camel caravan was lost in the wind and sand. When he was about to die, he was brought into an ancient city by the camels.

The ancient city is located at the foot of two tall black mountains.

The city had long been deserted.

No trace of people.

But the city was full of gold and silver.

It contains treasures that an ordinary person could not collect in ten lifetimes.

After receiving the news, they organized a group of enthusiastic adventurers and headed to the Western Regions to search for the legendary ancient city.

And when they heard there was such an amazing treasure.

How could a bunch of sand bandits bear it?

I immediately became greedy.

After all, as long as the ancient city is excavated, there will be countless gold and silver.

So they forced themselves to keep up with the team and went all the way into the Black Desert.

It took several months and many deaths before we finally reached the Ancient City of Jingjue.

But before they could get excited.

The seemingly peaceful ancient city actually harbours dangers.

Especially a strange black snake.

Not only was the speed astonishing, but the poison was also extremely poisonous. More than a dozen brothers died in just a few days.

In desperation, a group of sand bandits turned their attention to the foreign devils.

Anyway, I have arrived at the ancient city that I have been longing for.

Naturally, they have no use.

So, in the following time, those people were driven into the city at gunpoint to explore the way.

The fate of those people is naturally self-evident.

Fortunately, they were not completely useless. They had carved out a path for themselves with their blood and lives.

As for why their bodies were hung on the city gates.

Huo Jia said that after they entered the city, they were worried that outsiders would break in, so they used this method to deter newcomers.

This was also when they were causing chaos in Shache and other places.

A commonly used method.

The more they kill, the more heads they have, and naturally everyone will be afraid of them.

"So where did you go after you entered the city?"

When the interrogation reached this point.

Chen Yulou asked a question that everyone was concerned about.

"underground……"

"There is a big city below the ancient city."

Hoja did not hesitate.

"Is it the Queen's Palace?"

"Have you found the Queen's treasure?"

The moment the words "underground ancient city" appeared, everyone's heart couldn't help but move.

Yang Fang and Guaizi couldn't help but ask impatiently.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Huo Jia didn't know what he was thinking about, his whole body was shaking uncontrollably, his face was as pale as gold paper, and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead because of fear.

A long time passed.

Wait until your mood finally calms down a little.

Huo Jiaci cursed with gnashing teeth.

"Those foreigners are full of lies. We didn't find a single piece of gold or silver in the underground royal city... Instead, we encountered countless poisonous snakes."

“Someone’s dying every minute.”

"That is the devil's residence. Those poisonous snakes are the devil's messengers. If we rashly break in and disturb the devil's slumber, we will be killed."

"Snake Cave?!"

Just two words.

It made everyone feel as if they were falling into an icy cave.

Especially Hua Maguai, the smile on his face froze instantly.

After all, he was the only one in the team who had been attacked by a snake so far.

It was just a matter of time before we were separated by death.

In addition, during this period of time, the closer we got to the ancient city of Jingjue, the more traces of the black snake we saw.

Their existence always loomed over his mind like a nightmare.

Now I heard the word "snake cave" from Huojia's mouth with my own ears.

Hua Maguai felt a chill rushing straight to his head, his vision became blurred, and countless images intertwined before his eyes, eventually freezing into the figure of a black snake with scarlet eyes.

"kidnapper?"

It was Chen Yulou who first noticed his abnormality.

Reach out and pat him on the shoulder.

A wisp of pure green wood spiritual energy in the palm of his hand passed over.

The spiritual energy flowed through his limbs and meridians. Hua Maguai felt a coolness all over his body. Then his vision became blurred and the noise in his ears gradually dissipated, and everything became clear again.

call--

Hua Maguai breathed a sigh of relief.

There was cold sweat on his forehead.

Seeing everyone looking at him worriedly, he waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

"Apart from you, is there anyone else alive?"

Chen Yulou's eyes flickered as he looked at Huo Jia who was sitting on the ground again.

"Gone……"

Hoja shook his head.

A face full of loneliness and fear.

"At least when I left, I didn't meet anyone. If you fall into the devil's cave, there is no chance of survival."

A team of hundreds of people.

It took nearly half a year.

In the end, only Huo Jia survived.

It's not tragic.

However, they were greedy and ended up in such a situation, which was their own fault.

"The snakes you encountered...did they have any weaknesses?"

The atmosphere fell silent.

After pondering for a moment, the old foreigner suddenly asked.

Although according to ancient legends in the tribe, as early as the time of the ancient sage, the tribe members had the experience of surrounding and killing black snakes, the time was too long ago and there were no clear records of how they killed them.

"fire……"

"Snakes are treacherous creatures, and they are most afraid of the scorching sun."

Huo Jia hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to tell the truth.

His current situation is like lamb on the chopping board, at the mercy of others. Unless he can grow a pair of wings, he will never be able to get out until he dies.

Such a vast and boundless black desert.

Without anyone to support him, all alone, those man-eating beasts could bite him to pieces.

Therefore, it is better to rely on these people now.

Although their identities and origins are not clear for the time being, with a team of hundreds of people, they may be able to accomplish something.

"Since you know that black snakes are afraid of fire, why did you end up in such a situation?"

The old foreigner frowned and continued to ask.

Huo Jia was a little scared of him. After all, he was very impressed by the kick just now, and the bones on the inside of his calves were still aching slightly.

At this moment, he was seen frowning.

His eyes immediately turned to Una beside him.

And after listening to her translation.

He couldn't help showing a hint of bitterness on his face.

"That underground city is incredibly large, completely beyond all of our expectations. The torches we brought with us were simply not enough... and we were driven away by the snake tide and couldn't find the way back."

"What were you looking at?"

At the moment when his mind was confused.

Chen Yulou suddenly spoke, piercing deep into his heart.

With the screams of his brothers and the rustling sounds like the devil's moans still lingering in his ears, Huo Jia couldn't help but feel a flash of panic in the depths of his eyes, but he immediately calmed down.

"No, it's nothing."

"I'm just afraid those black snakes will catch up with us."

Hear the words.

No one thought there was any problem.

But Chen Yulou shook his head and said, "No, you are lying."

Although it is Chinese.

Facing those eyes that were as blazing as fire and seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Huo Jia immediately understood what he meant.

"No, I didn't. I was just running for my life."

The people who were still trying to figure out how to deal with the snake cave in the dungeon looked up when they sensed the sudden panic in his tone.

For a while.

His gaze fell like a sword.

Although Huo Jia was born a bandit and was responsible for countless deaths, for some reason, these people around him were dressed as merchants, but they gave him the feeling that they were even more murderous than them.

He had no doubt at all.

Just make up nonsense.

What awaits him is swords and axes.

Under the terrifying pressure, Huo Jia finally couldn't hold on.

"It's the devil..."

“Sacrifice your life to him and you will have eternal life.”

Finish this sentence.

Huo Da breathed in the air deeply.

He lay on the sand, his face pale, as if all his strength had been drained away.

His words seemed quite ambiguous.

At least that's the case for Una. She tried to translate it several times before finally finding a word that seemed relatively suitable to her.

"eternal life?!"

Hear these two words.

There seemed to be a surge of thunder and lightning in Chen Yulou's mind.

In the past, the ancient Jingjue Kingdom continuously sacrificed lives to the snake god in exchange for magic power.

Countless slaves and prisoners of war were killed.

In the end, God is angry and people are resentful.

The Samsara Sect before them did things in a similar way, constantly killing prisoners and offering sacrifices in order to seek so-called immortality.

The hidden meaning in Huo Jia's words was already very clear.

A team of hundreds of people.

I'm afraid many of them died at his hands.

Thinking of this, Chen Yulou's eyes flashed, and he instantly appeared outside Huo Jia.

He reached out his hand, grabbed the back collar of his robe and pulled it hard. With a "swish" sound, the robe was torn in two.

In the light of fire.

A lifelike 'ghost eye' appeared.

It seemed as if it had been carved not long ago, and it still had a weird blood-red color.

"curse……"

The moment I saw that ghost eye.

Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner were horrified and spoke out almost at the same time.

The actions of the two even alarmed the people who were still busy in the distance, causing Hua Ling and Hong Girl to look over here frequently.

Especially the flower spirits.

She didn't know what was happening yet.

But when she saw the two senior brothers' sudden change of behavior, she couldn't help but bite her lip, her clear eyes filled with worry.

"Sure enough it is."

The rest of the people didn't understand what it was.

Just by seeing the looks of Partridge Whistle and the other man, he instinctively realized that something serious was going on.

What's more, the pair of ghost eyes were vivid and vivid, as if a demon had grown into Huo Jia's body, ready to squeeze out of the flesh and blood at any time, open its ghost eyes and crawl out.

Only Chen Yulou looked clear.

Trading with the snake god never ends well.

Huo Jia thought his words were flawless.

But he could not have imagined that there was someone in the world who could see through people's minds at a glance, and he could not have imagined that in terms of understanding of ghost curses, even a hundred of him were no match for the three people in front of him.

I noticed the pity in Chen Yulou's eyes.

Huo Jia finally realized something.

I tried desperately to turn my head to see what was on my body.

Unfortunately……

That eyeball has already been integrated into the blood.

Not to mention that he couldn't see the back of his neck, even if he untied his hands, he wouldn't be able to find any trace.

Standing up, Chen Yulou patted his two fellow disciples on the shoulders.

Their reaction was not surprising.

After all, it is something engraved in the blood of the Zagrama lineage.

After being patted by him, the two of them came to their senses one after another.

"Brother Dao, don't worry."

"Thousands of ships have already passed through, let alone what is in front of us?"

Chen Yulou smiled.

Although he did not explicitly say the three words "Zhuochenzhu".

But Partridge Whistle immediately understood what he meant, nodded, and then took a few deep breaths, finally suppressing the restlessness and uneasiness in his heart.

"gone."

"The aroma of food is wafting in the air, so first of all, I need to fill my stomach and have a good sleep."

After stretching his limbs, Chen Yulou walked towards the camp with a smile.

The remaining people looked at each other.

Hua Maguai pointed at Huo Jia lying on the ground and asked, "Boss, what should we do with this guy?"

Chen Yulou did not look back.

He just raised his hand and gestured downward.

He immediately understood.

After watching the group walk away, Hua Maguai greeted the few Changshengshan guys who stayed behind.

"Do it neatly."

"Don't leave any traces."

Hearing this, several guys couldn't help but grin.

"Don't worry, Hua Baotou, just leave this small matter to the brothers."

He was still turning his head to try to see Huo Jia behind his neck.

Suddenly I realized something.

When I turned around, I found that the group of people had already gone far away.

Only a few people are left.

He was looking at himself with a smile.

His mind sank to the bottom.

Having been a bandit in the desert for many years, Huo Jia was very familiar with this scene.

He subconsciously wanted to struggle and opened his mouth to scream, but before he could make a sound, a figure rushed in front of him and stuffed a piece of sackcloth into his mouth.

Only a low whimpering sound remained.

It was also weighed down by the cold wind blowing from the gap between the two black mountains in the distance.

See this situation.

Hua Maguai nodded and turned around calmly.

After taking a few steps, he heard a slight puffing sound.

Just like when Zhang the butcher in the outer city kills pigs.

The sound of a sharp knife piercing the neck.

Hearing the noise, Hua Maguai couldn't help but shake his head and seemed to be singing some opera tune.

You can only hear it when you get closer.

"Human greed... like a snake swallowing an elephant."
