"This man, I know where he is." Balohard pointed at a person in the photo.
Chen Tao looked at the person he was pointing at and was shocked.
It’s an old cat!
"Quickly tell me where he is!"
Balohard glanced at Chen Tao and frowned slightly.
Knowing that he was a little out of sorts, Chen Tao softened his tone and said, "They are my relatives and friends. Please tell me where they are now!"
Balohad looked at the endless mounds of the Lost City and raised his hand to point. .
"Forest of the Dead..."
"Forest of the Dead? What is that?" Chen Tao looked confused.
"It's the Devil's Forest I mentioned before." Ye Rong explained, "The people of Tatunaan call it the Forest of the Undead. Rumor has it that Tatunaan suffered a heavy defeat and the army returned with a great defeat. He was even forced into the royal city. Seeing that the royal city was about to be breached by the enemy, King Tatunaan used his soul in exchange for Nakala, the god of the underworld, in order to defeat the enemy, begging her to protect Tatunaan from this attack. Nakara promised him. The moment the enemy broke through the city gate, blood rained from the sky, and the sand turned into an oasis, and the soldiers surrounded by the oasis died inside. From then on, except for Tatuna Apart from Anren, no one can get even half a step closer to the royal city."
"Hmm..." Balohard nodded and looked at Ye Rong with some suspicion, "Your knowledge of Tatunaan surprises me."
"I'm just interested in the legend of Tatunaan, it's a personal hobby." Ye Rong shrugged.
Balohad touched the beard on his face and added: "This woman is right. In order to protect Tatunaan, the king dedicated his soul. The god of Hades, Nakala, used a strand of her hair to turn into The Forest of the Undead, anyone who wants to break into the Holy City will be swallowed up by the Forest of the Undead."
"Is it so evil?" Haozi looked at Barrohard with disbelief, "According to your opinion, Old Cat and the others are in the Forest of the Dead, but where are the others?"
"This old cat seems to have been captured by a group of people. We fought against them. Those people were very powerful, and the leader was a young man with red hair."
"The red-haired young man!"
Chen Tao's heart skipped a beat. The red-haired young man...
Could it be him?
"Where are the others? Have you seen this person?" Chen Tao pointed at Uncle Long in the photo.
"No, I only saw the old cat."
Chen Tao sat on the ground with a dejected look on his face and didn't speak for a long time.
"Are you Chen You's grandson?" Balohard suddenly asked.
"Well, what's wrong?" Chen Tao nodded.
"When I was young, he once saved my life." Balohad looked at the endless mounds, his eyes flickering, as if he was remembering.
"Have you met my grandfather?" Chen Tao looked at him with some curiosity.
"Yes." Balohad nodded, "I was not as old as you at that time, and my father was still alive at that time. We entered the Holy City together. In order to stop that person, my father sacrificed himself. I was already about to die, but Chen You took me away
come out. "
"Why did my grandfather come here?" Chen Tao asked.
"I don't know either. I heard from my father that he is here to find someone."
"Looking for someone?" Chen Tao asked.
"Yes, looking for someone." Balohad nodded, "When he came, he brought a young man with him, and that man had a map on him."
"Map? Boy?"
"Tatunaan was cursed by the great wizard. Since the holy city was buried by the yellow sand, no one has entered it. Back then, Prince Ulster was sent by the king to attack another place. When he came back, Tatunaan has disappeared into the endless desert, leaving only a temple of war. Prince Ulster led the remaining defenders to search the desert for more than a month, but no one survived. All of Tatunaan was buried alive in the sand."
"So, they stayed?"
"Yes, Tatunaan is gone, but the prince and his guards have stayed, guarding Tatunaan from generation to generation."
"After every storm, Tatunaan buried in the yellow sand will reappear. Over the years, people have been searching in the desert to get the treasures under the holy city of Tatunaan, but They all failed."
"Your grandfather Chen You is the only person who came out of the Holy City alive."
"What happened to that boy?"
"Someone carved a map into Tatunaan on the boy's back. Chen You followed the map on the boy's back to find Tatunaan."
The map on my back...
Chen Tao's head buzzed, could it be Uncle Wang!
In this way, the map that grandpa left in the beast box was the map to Tatunaan!
Chen Tao couldn't help but regret, why didn't he bring out the map? Now there is no need to wander around here like a headless fly.
"I want to know, who do you want to stop?" Chen Tao sorted out his thoughts and raised his head to ask Balohard.
Ye Rong said before that she would help Balohad stop him, and this matter seemed to have a lot to do with herself and her grandfather.
Balohad glanced at Ye Rong on the side, and then at Chen Tao, "That person is a follower of the great wizard."
"Great wizard?"
"Yes, the culprit who buried Tatunaan back then!" Balohad clenched his fists, "Tatunaan is not what you foreigners can imagine. The great wizard committed a heinous crime and was The king inflicted the most vicious punishment, and the body was buried under the gate of Tatunaan, where he would be trampled on forever. Unexpectedly, the great wizard cursed Tatunaan and everything about Tatunaan before he died. . But his soul is trapped in the holy city of Tatunaan, and he can only be tortured under the city gate forever in the endless darkness."
"For so many years, the devil's followers have been trying to enter Tatunaan to release the devil, but they have been stopped by the guards of all generations. Until that year, a terrible person appeared. If it weren't for your grandfather, We have failed."
"Once that demon is released, the world will fall into disaster. So we must stop that person. We failed to kill him back then, but now he is even more powerful."
After speaking, Balohad patted Chen Tao on the shoulder, "If you can help us stop him, you will be Tatunaan's benefactor. All the guards will treat you as a friend and protect you until death."
"No, no, no, no..." Chen Tao waved his hand, "I can't afford such noble treatment."
Balohard shook his head, "Okay, you can take a rest now, we will set off as soon as daybreak!"
Seeing Balohad stand up and leave, Chen Tao had a sad face, and stared at the endless mounds with unblinking eyes, feeling an extremely bad feeling in his heart.
"Hey, Taozi, when did your swordsmanship become so good? I didn't realize at all that you had such skill." Haozi said suddenly.
"Uh..." Chen Tao was stunned.
Your own sword skills?
Suddenly, he remembered that he had been stabbed so many times by that guy named Suoke, and yet he was all killed. Chen Tao was also surprised for a while.
Although Chen Tao learned some leg and kick skills from his grandfather when he was a child, Chen Tao never thought that he could be so good. Looking at the skills of that man named Suoke, although he is not as perverted as Yang Lixuan, he is at least at the level of a mountain ghost.
Chen Tao pulled out his short sword and made two gestures with his hand. His previous reaction was entirely out of survival instinct. When people face extreme danger, they can stimulate their potential and make some incredible moves.
Do you still have such awesome potential?
Looking at Hao Zi's weird-looking face, Chen Tao smiled mysteriously and said nothing, causing him to smack his lips.
"Okay, let's hurry up and get some rest. We still have to enter Maka's Lost City at dawn!"
"You think, what Baba Had said is too bluffing? Is it true or false?" Haozi asked.
"I believe he won't lie to us." Ye Rong said: "What he said is the same as what I saw in the information. Tatunaan was indeed covered by yellow sand overnight, and all this time, this mysterious The world is full of various theocratic cultures, and there are many unimaginable terrifying powers. It is because of this that Qianshu Hongde went to the Western Regions to find a way to eliminate his brother."
"Oh, it's Qian Shu Hongde again." Chen Tao exhaled heavily. Everything about him seemed to be entangled with Qian Shu Hongde. Since the Heizigou incident, it seems that in the development of everything, Qian Shu Hongde plays an extremely important role.
"I don't care whether what Balohard said is true or not, I just want to rescue Uncle Long and take them home!" Chen Tao clenched his fists.
"Okay, let's go and get some rest. With Balohard's people keeping watch, we can at least have a good night's sleep."
Chen Tao looked at his watch. It was already two o'clock in the morning. In a few hours, the sun would rise again. Who knows what kind of thrills awaited them then.
After dismissing Haozi and Ye Rong with a few words, Chen Tao leaned under the mound and looked at the crackling firewood in the fire, with his heart clenched and unable to fall asleep.
Where is Uncle Long?
Judging from the marks in the river, the old cat was probably separated from Uncle Long and the others, and had been controlled by that group of people.
If Chen Tao's guess is correct, the leader of that group of people is most likely Yan!
"Yan..."
Chen Tao's brows were knitted together.
If Yan and the others also come, wouldn't Uncle Long and the others be more dangerous... Could it be that the person Ye Rong said was ambushed was Yan?
Balohad said that only the old cat was seen in that group of people. Uncle Long and others were not among these people. Are they alive or dead...
