After hearing the words of the man who lost his legs, the Third Prince and his party couldn't help but feel a little sad. They didn't expect that the kindness of these people in Xiashan City would bring them such disaster.
"You never thought about going to the city to take revenge?" Jin Zhuer gritted her teeth in hatred, clenched her fists loudly, and wished she could rush into the city right now.
"Haha... Where's the point of revenge? Although that incident didn't happen long ago, most of the people before were completely swallowed up by the sand poison. Now most of these people are latecomers, and they just want to live one more day. How can you have any intention of going to the city one day?" The man touched the package behind him and said with a pale face.
"Sir, to tell you the truth, my brother is one of the sand poisoning patients who was rescued by Xiashan City before... I didn't expect that I just found him, and it turned out to be the last time... After he told me these things, he The guilt turned into a puddle of dust in front of me, and the only thing left was this package.”
"Condolences."
The third prince was deeply touched, and despite the obstruction of others, he finally patted the man's shoulder and said softly, and then he felt that the man's body was very cold, but he only thought it was because he was suffering from sand poison, so he didn't Too concerned.
"My dear friend, please rest assured, we will seek justice for you right now!" The third prince stood up, looked at Xia Shancheng with a slightly angry expression, and was about to leave with a few people.
"Sir, please wait a moment!" The man coughed a few times and handed the package in his hand to the third prince.
"My dear friend, is this...?" Although the third prince was confused, he quickly took the thing.
"Sir, I want to ask you something..." The man said slowly with a pale face.
“Dude, it’s okay to say it!”
"Sir, please tell me... Brother Xiao Fan... Wu Fan, is he okay?" This man's eyes have never been so bright.
"This..." The third prince was shocked when he heard this, "You...who are you? Why do you know Brother Wufan?"
"Haha... Don't be nervous, sir. I just heard a familiar name from your previous words and guessed that you must know Brother Xiao Fan... To be honest, my Yuan Chu and Wu Fan are both disciples of the Jade Pot Sect. !”
"Haha, what a fate! I didn't expect to meet brother Wufan's friends here!" The third prince was very happy, "Wufan's brother is my brother! Brother Yuan Chu, if you need anything, just ask me!"
"Then I'm welcome! This package was left by the brother I just mentioned, Huo Fu. He is a disciple of the Jade Pot Sect like me and Brother Xiao Fan... He just went one step ahead. Since you are interested, I will trouble you. Deliver the contents of this parcel to him.”
"Okay... I'll accept it for him first." The third prince was silent, taking the package into his hands, frowning.
"Sir...Brother Xiaofan, is he okay?" Seeing that the third prince looked unhappy, Yuan Chu was very uneasy and asked again.
"Hmm...Okay, he's fine." The third prince was stunned for a moment, forced a smile, and nodded.
"Great, great, Brother Xiaofan is fine..." Yuan Chu was excited and did not notice anything strange about the third prince, "Sir, the second thing is... If you can still enter the city, I hope you will My brother and I were put together…”
Yuan Chu trembled and took out a box from his arms. The box must be the yellow sand that Huo Fu turned into.
"This is natural!" The third prince nodded and walked towards Xiashan City with a solemn expression.
"Sir...if you see Brother Xiaofan again, you must tell him...I, Yuan Chu, am fine...Huo Fu is fine too..." An uncertain voice came from the distance.
"Okay!" The third prince waved his hand without looking back, then looked at the plaque with the word "X" engraved on the ground in the distance, and clenched his fists.
There was nothing in front of the Xiashan City Gate, except for piles of yellow sand blown away by the whirlwind. The third prince asked Pei Hushou and Hou Hou to call the door. As Yuan Chu said, there was no movement at the city gate.
Several people cut off the door latch from the gap in the city gate, and then tried to push the city gate open with brute force, but they couldn't move even a little bit, so Heili used Qinggong against the city wall and stepped up in a few steps. He glanced around the city, couldn't help but let out a light sigh, and then landed lightly in the city.
When Hei Li opened the city gate, the third prince discovered that although the two gates were not heavy and the door latches had been cut off, there was a groove on the ground under the door, and there was a stepping stone next to it, which must have been there just now. This thing is blocking the door.
The four people protected the third prince in the middle and walked forward cautiously. However, they heard a click behind them and the city gate slowly closed. The stepping stone fell into the groove without any bias, and the long There was darkness in the long doorway, except where they were illuminated by the dim light from the exit on the other side.
"Who?" Jin Zhuer shouted, kicked up the stone on the ground, and smashed it to the side. But the strange thing is that the stone seemed to be swallowed by darkness, but there was no sound of the stone falling to the ground.
Crunching, there was a sudden friction sound in the ears, and in the darkness on both sides, suddenly two huge black figures slowly leaned down, and two colorful strange faces rushed towards them with distorted expressions.
"Third Prince, be careful!" Heili was startled. He picked up the Third Prince and left the doorway a few steps away. Then there were two muffled sounds, stirring up the dust in the doorway.
"Fat Tiger, Skinny Monkey, Golden Pearl!" The third prince's heart was beating wildly, not knowing what kind of monster was lurking here.
But I was in the open and the enemy was in the dark, and I couldn't take action easily. Hei Li could only hide aside with the third prince, nervously waiting for the dust to disperse.
I don't know how long it took, but I saw two huge black figures lying on the ground, like dead things. They each swallowed most of Pei Hu and Shouhou's bodies in their mouths, leaving only four feet exposed. Jinzhu lay motionless on the ground, his life or death uncertain.
"Damn it!" The third prince's eyes were red and he slammed the wall next to him. "Heili, every one of you can escape! You run away!"
"Third Prince, Jin Zhuer seems to be still alive..." Hei Li glanced around and asked the Third Prince to wait where he was. Then he rushed into the doorway with a strong step and carried Jin Zhuer out.
"Ahem... Third Prince, Heili? What happened just now? Where are Pei Hu and Shouhou?" Jin Zhuer rubbed his head. He seemed to have felt something hit the back of his head just now, and he fell down with stars in his eyes.
"See for yourself..." Heili pointed at the dark doorway.
"This... what on earth is this?" In the hazy light, I saw the two monsters on the left and right each showing an eye the size of a copper bell, with four legs in their two bloody mouths. They looked like the two Marquis Pei, Hu and Shou. , and there was still unknown liquid dripping on the ground from the monster's huge mouth, exuding a sour smell.
"Drink!" Although Jin Zhuer's body was covered with goosebumps, her anger still defeated her fear. Several more stones were shot at the two monsters, only a few muffled sounds were heard, and then they disappeared. movement.
"Jin Zhuer, take the third prince to a safe place first!" Although Heili also wanted to avenge Pei Hu and Shouhou, his top priority was to protect the third prince.
Jin Zhuer gritted her teeth and was about to leave, when she suddenly heard a hesitant whimpering sound coming from the mouth of the monster in the doorway, which seemed to be telling something, but also like a wail.
"Quickly retreat!" Jin Zhuer was startled and was about to pull up the third prince.
"Wait! Something's wrong!" The third prince retracted his hand and slowly moved back into the doorway.
"Third Prince! Danger!" Heili hurriedly followed.
"No... I was brought up by Pei Hushouhou and I am very familiar with their voices. Come here and listen to see if they are talking?"
Jin Zhuer and Heili looked at each other and followed without hesitation. After all, the third prince acted cautiously and could not be so rash.
"Hmm...it seems like...rescue...next..."
"Suffocate... pull... a handful..."
Several people approached cautiously and finally heard the intermittent voices of the two people.
As they got closer, they gradually got used to the darkness in the doorway, and looked at the two monsters again and felt dumbfounded.
It turned out that these two big guys were not monsters, but wooden statues on both sides of the doorway. The abnormal noise Jinzhu heard before was the sound of the wooden carving shelves deforming due to moisture.
Originally, there were shelves underneath the wooden sculptures to support them, and they managed to maintain their balance. However, in her moment of nervousness, she accidentally broke the rotten shelves on both sides, causing the two statues to fall down and hit Jin Zhuer.
The position where Pei Hu and Shou Hou were standing happened to be the two huge mouths of the wooden sculpture. After subconsciously protecting their heads, their hands were stuck in the mouth of the wooden sculpture, and they could barely support the statue without letting it fall to the ground, swallowing themselves completely in the mouth. Suffocate to death.
However, although there was some air circulation, the two of them felt very uncomfortable. After all, the wooden sculpture had been affected by moisture for many years, and the sour smell made them dizzy. They couldn't help retching when they opened their mouths. The amount of vomit made the two of them very tormented and dizzy.
He just heard someone throwing something and hit him, so he woke up and called for help again and again. Fortunately, the third prince noticed something strange, otherwise the two of them would have been depressed to death.
Although the wooden statue was not small, it was almost completely rotted. A few people rescued Pei Hushouhou easily. I don’t know what the craftsmen thought at the time, but they actually used such things to make statues, but fortunately it was a wood carving. If it had been a stone carving, the two of them might have died.
After being reborn, the two felt the kindness of the air and wished they had more nostrils. The two of them were breathing heavily, and it could be said that Diaokou was out of danger.
"Wait, I still feel something is wrong." The third prince did not have the magical powers of many people, so he could only rely on his keen sense to protect himself. At this time, he always felt that there was an indescribable abnormality.
"That's right, I also noticed on the city gate before that Shan City is too quiet now." Heili said in a deep voice.
"Yes! That's what I'm saying! We made such a big fuss here, why is there no one there? Could it be that... everyone in this city is also dead?" Jin Zhuer pinched her neck and made a gesture He said in a low voice with a breathless expression.
The third prince pinched his chin and looked at the package thoughtfully.
"I feel like Shancheng is not as simple as he said..."
