Fangzheng didn't have time to stop it, he didn't expect Faxiao to be so impatient, and dared to speak directly to this obviously difficult to provoke team.

Quickly remedied: "Everyone, we are members of the Fang family of Nichiren Star. We have encountered difficulties here. If you are willing to take us for a ride, we will be very grateful to the Fang family after we go out."

Arthur believed in his luck very much, and had the patience to stop and understand what happened when he encountered an accident on the road, in case it would be of some help to the trip.Facts have proved that his choices are mostly wise.

"Why did you go to the inside of Ghost City?" Luo Luo asked instead of the boss.

Lan Cloak turned his gaze to the two members of the Fang family, and explained self-deprecatingly: "We were invited by the mercenary group, and we received the mission to escort these two to the Ghost City. Being trapped here now is indeed insufficient preparation and strength."

"My brother entered Ghost City more than ten years ago in order to find power, and I want to find him back." It seemed that something was going on, and Fang Yan quickly stated the purpose of this trip.

"Why didn't you look for it before? Going rashly now, isn't it afraid of ruining your brother's affairs?" Luoluo was curious, looked around, and Huang Shaman couldn't see a living thing. I really don't know that this person's brother is looking for such a person. Break ground to find some strength.

"My brother used to send a letter to the family to report his safety every once in a while, but it has been three years since the last time. I am a little worried." The anxiety on Fang Yan's face does not seem to be fake, but this anxiety also carries other emotions.

"I'm afraid it's not the whole reason. What are you upset about?" This young man is not good at hiding his emotions, and he doesn't seem to have experienced much storm.

Fang Yan didn't expect his thoughts to be seen through so easily, and he was quite embarrassed: "The Fang family's competition to select the next heir will start in five years, and if my brother hasn't returned by then, his opponent will preempt him. "

And this 'opponent' is the child of the dialect brother's stepmother. The stepmother has always been eager to get rid of them. If her child is in power, the two brothers and their biological mother will naturally have no good results.

Five years, another five years?

Arthur glanced at Aze, and found doubts about this point in time from each other's eyes.The owner of the skeleton died five years later in his previous life. Is there any intriguing connection between the two?

"Come on."

Fang Yan and Fang Zheng looked at each other happily, packed up the luggage scattered on the ground, and followed this powerful team.

They wanted to settle the bill for the rest of the invite and terminate the mission.He didn't want Lan Cloak but refused to take the money and leave. He saw an opportunity from this incident. Isn't what the mercenaries are looking for is a pursuit of wealth and insurance?

With Yaogui's current strength, it is absolutely impossible to go deep into the interior of the ghost city, and no one has ever done it for thousands of years, or the people who did it did not make a big deal about what the interior looks like.

Blue Cloak is not uninterested in this, and now meeting a strong person who is willing to take them along may be a great opportunity.

Since Arthur agreed to the first time, he naturally didn't bother to refuse the second time.Except for Invitation Rail, there are a few people who are not willing to take any more risks, choose to check out and leave, and the others follow them to move on.

Mechanical vehicles cannot be used in the ghost city. Their original walking beasts were caught in the sandstorm and it was difficult to find them, so now they can only choose to walk.

In order to accommodate their speed, Arthur's itinerary was delayed a lot, but there was no rush to find the bones, as long as he brought enough survival supplies, it was like traveling in the desert—although the surroundings were full of yellow sand, Really nothing to see.

"My lord, there are mice following behind." An Xiao squinted at the back, Yaogui and the Fang family didn't notice it, but he noticed it from the beginning.

"Don't worry about it." Arthur naturally knew that there was still a tail behind him, but subconsciously chose to keep this person, maybe it would be useful later.

Hiking in the desert is a difficult thing, but when you have a powerful and omnipotent companion by your side, all difficulties become motivation.

"It's obviously a leopard that is good at running on grasslands. After staying in the water-scarce desert for so long, it has nothing to do with it. Its skin is still smooth and shiny, and it is more energetic than us. This must be a B-level beast."

Dialect looked enviously at the radiant Jiangyun Leopard. After spending a week together, he found that this group of people did not have the domineering and arrogance that the strong are used to. On the contrary, they were quite easy to talk to, especially the baby-faced Luo Luo, who was very friendly. .

So now I let go of my courage, and I am willing to talk to the other party about anything, but I didn't realize that I had already been set up by others.

"That's right, that's my boss' number one younger brother, who started before me." Luo Luo squinted her eyes and tilted her head to look at this really stupid young master.

Fangzheng next to him probably noticed something, but in the end he didn't make a sound to remind him.In fact, with Fa Xiao's direct character, it is easier to win the favor of the strong.

"Master Zero is a beast controler? I heard from my mother that my brother had a strange beast before, and he kept protecting it in his arms. It was very precious. It was because this strange beast was killed by someone later that he made up his mind." We must pursue the path of the strong." Speaking of the past, dialect is still a little bit embarrassed.

"Hey, what kind of strange beast is that?" Luo Luo followed the boss, seeing all kinds of weird and strange beasts.Among other things, only Ah He is weird enough, and he and the boss went to catch it with his own hands.

Seeing Ah He proudly and arrogantly in front of Xingyao people now, I think of the embarrassment he was locked in the box and beaten all the way back then, it is really different now.

Dialect was a bit puzzled why Lolo laughed inexplicably, but he still answered his question seriously, "Actually, I haven't seen it, but I heard from my mother that it is a beautiful bird, very smart and spiritual, and I don't see any low-level differences The stupidity of a beast."

A burst of noisy yellow sand rolled in. An Xiao originally planned to use his ability to clear the way. He didn't want to be more comfortable than before, but now he used his strength as if he was carrying a thousand heavy burdens, and the effect was not very good.

Arthur set up an energy barrier to protect the group. To be honest, the desert environment was not very friendly to him. There were few life forms around, and it was all lifeless yellow sand. His potential was discounted.

However, as long as the direction and strength of the wind are calculated, and the force is selectively used, the safety of the pedestrians can still be kept.

The wind and sand spread for about half an hour, destroying and reshaping all the surrounding terrain and landforms, and finally an ancient and desolate city was displayed in front of everyone.

"It turns out that there really is a city of ghosts..."

After walking in the vast desert for nearly half a month, they finally saw a different scenery. Everyone was a little excited and hurried towards the city gate.Although it is not sure whether this is the destination they are looking for, it is better than continuing to look at the sand that has not changed.

But when he walked in, he found that not only the city gate was tightly closed, but also the surrounding walls did not leave a single gap. An Xiao tried no matter whether he used brute force or plant representations, he could not open up a passage for entry.

"Hey, there are words on it!" The blue cloak pointed to a line of words engraved on the door, which was extremely easy to be ignored-not so much a word, but a special symbol, not the common language of the Federation. .

Dialect remembered that this seemed to be some kind of ancient script of Nichiren Star. He had seen it in history class, and after a long time of recollection, he finally translated a few fragmentary words: "Sacrifice, the bones and flesh of your companions, kneel down, and pray for blessings."

As words were translated one by one, the expressions of everyone in Yaogui and Fang's family became extremely ugly. According to the sequence of words, it is very likely that it would take one person's life to open the door.

"Maybe...there are other ways..." Fangzheng said hesitantly, even he didn't believe it, and felt desperate for his little friend's IQ, even if it meant that, don't say it outright!

It's not like they don't know how powerful that dark owl is, but even if such a character can't destroy the city, the only way to get in is to be engraved on the door.

And none of them is willing to take the initiative to sacrifice in exchange for a ticket to a fellow traveler who can't even be called a companion.

"Go and catch that mouse in the back." Arthur waved his hand, and everyone was puzzled, but An Xiao disappeared when his voice fell.

The man came back after a while, but he carried an extra 'thing' in his hand - it was the red beard who had been trailing behind the team for half a month.

"It's you!" After Fang Yan was surprised, he became angry. They had already seen how bad this person's character was, and they had followed him sneakily for so long, so they definitely didn't have a good idea.

The others thought more than dialect and breathed a sigh of relief.The ready-made sacrifices came, and finally they didn't have to worry about being so unlucky to be chosen.

Redbeard was originally complacent that he had followed all the way without being discovered, and could be a praying mantis catching cicadas with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, the roles of hunter and prey were reversed, and he still couldn't figure out how he showed his feet when he died.

"How do you explain this kneeling and praying? Could it be that you really kneeled in front of this broken door?" Lolo kicked the bloody corpse with a red beard towards the door in disgust, and there was no respect or disrespect. People with ill intentions towards them don't need to be treated with mercy.

"Get out of the way." Arthur signaled the crowd to disperse, leaving a space for one person directly in front of the corpse, and then let the Crimson Cloud Leopard spit out a wind blade and landed on the ground in the gap where there should have been a person kneeling as a prayer.

When the wind blade fell to the ground, the city gate also opened suddenly, and before it was too happy, a feathered arrow full of energy was shot from behind the door. Looking at the momentum, if someone really knelt on the spot, they would be directly shot through the head.

"It turned out to be a trap." Everyone was a little scared, this link is linked together, if they want to enter the city, they can only choose to give up their companions.The city gate will open after absorbing enough blood and sensing the weight of a person kneeling on the ground.

However, what is waiting to be prayed for is a trap, a punishment for those who betray their companions.

Without absolute clarity of mind, they would have fallen into a trap by the time they could decipher the words carved on the door.

After Arthur dispersed from the wind and sand, he has always felt a feeling of being watched. He tried to spread his mental power to search but was blocked outside the city wall.Somewhere in this city, there must be a strong man no less than him watching everything in secret.

The city gate opened, and everyone walked around the red beard's body and entered the city.There is only one road leading to the inside behind the door, so there is no possibility of getting lost, but still no one dares to take it lightly, every step is cautious.

On both sides of the wide road are tall and gentle walls with vivid murals carved on them.

"This is... the legend about the Ghost City that has been circulating in this area is actually true!" Blue Cape observed several murals carefully, and found that the deeds on them were somewhat familiar.

Luo Luo had collected information before, including those legends that are true and false, so he explained: "It is said that this place was not a desert where not a single blade of grass grew, but a green field that supported countless lives. The people living here don't even need Labor does not need to be hard, only by praying for blessings can you get a good harvest and happiness..."

As the population reproduces from generation to generation, the natural feedback becomes weaker and weaker.Until the end, no matter how much they prayed, they got nothing in return.

Ignorant people don't realize that all this is because the natural force can't accept their excessive demands and is gradually exhausted. They just think that the strength of praying for blessings is not enough and God is not satisfied, so they can't get a good harvest.

In the end, they chose a child of the new generation whose father had died early and was raised by his mother alone as a sacrifice. The orphans and widowed mothers had no right to speak, and could only acquiesce in grief and indignation to the disaster that befell them.

When performing the fire sacrifice, under the eyes of everyone, the child turned into a giant bird with wings covering the sky in the flames, and rose to the sky covered in fire.People who had never seen such a scene thought it was a miracle and knelt down one after another.

However, when the giant bird ascended to the sky and disappeared from people's sight, fireballs began to fall from the sky, destroying everything on the ground indiscriminately.

"The paradise disappears in the back, and the only thing left is this desert in front of us—the city of ghosts." After Luo Luo finished telling this story, she was still a little sad, especially compared with the murals, which clearly showed all the despair on people's faces at that time. .

"I always thought it was just a fable, teaching us to work hard and gain knowledge." Yaogui has been wandering in this area, and basically everyone around has heard of this legend, and some people have even studied it. What kind of strange beast would the giant bird be.

Seeing the murals now, it seems that the mystery of many years is about to be revealed.When everyone reached the last section of the city wall, they were blocked again.
