Holy Bone

Chapter 453 Centipede Clues, Entering the Ears of the Desert Gods

"Yes, we have all noticed these details."

"It's true that no one has lived here for several days."

None of the people who can come here is a fool, and many people have noticed the details analyzed by Jin An.

Before Jin An finished speaking, he observed other details.

He came to the fire with the iron pot on it, knelt down and frowned and said, "I also noticed that there was still meat stewed in this pot, and the dry wood for the fire was only half burned before being extinguished, and it wasn't fully burned... "

At this time, Mr. Yiyun also squatted down beside Jin An, she reached out to flip the extinguished firewood a few times, and the white fingers of Yu Cong were stained with some dust.

"The firewood did go out before it burned out."

She thought for a while, looked at Jin An and said: "These signs indicate that a shocking change was likely to occur at that time, and that shocking change came very quickly, and even, judging from the few traces of resistance at the scene, the shocking change Comes and ends quickly..."

"And! The people and camels here are all gone, that's because the shock was man-made!"

Jin An took the firewood from Mr. Yiyun, threw it back into the fire pond, said it was evidence, don't destroy the evidence at the kidnapping scene, then patted the dust on his hands and said to everyone: "Those people, they should have taken the kidnappers with them. The walking people and camels went straight to the next location, 'Hundred Foot'! It seems that the people who entered the desert this time are not only us, but also other forces!"

Seeing the firewood in his hand being taken away by Jin An, Mr. Yiyun gave Jin An a blank look, Jin An shrugged and smiled.

He didn't say a word.

He had already guessed who the other party was.

It should be the group of northern prairie tribes who are also looking for the kingdom of the undead, and looking for the elixir of life for the Great Khan.

"Hundred feet!" The veterans on the scene changed their colors collectively.

Ok?
"What happened to Centipede?"

"Why do those people want to capture the left-behinds? Do you know some secrets and where Baizu is?"

The atmosphere in the shed suddenly became tense, and everyone looked nervously at the veterans.

Looking at this posture, if those veterans don't give a satisfactory answer immediately, they will become the target of public criticism.

Whether it is Yan Kuan's group or Ai Yimaimati's group, they are bound to get the news of Baizu, and it is no longer up to the veterans to cooperate or not.

Those veterans also noticed that the atmosphere in the field became more subtle, and they also saw that these distant visitors were all obsessed with the centipede, and they understood that if they hesitated at this time, they would be murdered, and in order to save their lives, they Tell the truth.

"To be honest, we do know some news about Centipede." Pasha, Xikelti, and Abud looked at each other with serious expressions.

"After our ancestors found Wu'er, they found an underground river in the depths of the God's Ear. It gradually settled down here, multiplied, and the population gradually increased, but the ancestors never gave up the idea of ​​going out..."

"The ancestors saw that the sacred mountain of the Guchi Kingdom was dangerous and could not go out, so they explored the depths of the desert and followed the route that the Black Rain Army had traveled, hoping to find the former Black Rain Army and find another way out. ..."

Sikelti: "My grandfather told me that it was a very difficult time. Our ancestors spent a lot of money in the vast and directionless desert. After going through many detours, it took a generation of hard work to find centipedes in the desert. clue……"

When he said this, he gritted his teeth and said: "The people who captured Old Yiding must have seen the body of the Centipede here! That's why they captured people to lead them the way!"

what?
Are there centipede corpses here?

Everyone present was startled, even Jin An was taken aback.

Yan Kuan inspected the surroundings, and said in a deep voice, "No, just now we searched the vicinity to find someone, but we didn't find any human-like corpses. Isn't the centipede's corpse here?"

"How could it be here! We will definitely not bury those scary things by our side, and we can still sleep peacefully!" When it came to the Baizu people, the veterans present all had very apprehensive expressions on their faces and shouted loudly, It seemed that they had said something that made them very taboo.

"You have never seen the appearance of a hundred-legged man. Of course, you can't imagine how terrifying the hundred-legged man looks. The people of the hundred-legged man are a group of lunatics. Those lunatics are mentally deformed and perverted. God! I don’t know why the ancestors brought such a scary thing back to the ear of the gods, maybe they wanted to use the magic of the ear of the gods to hear some clues related to the Centipede ruins!”

What Sikelti said, not only failed to scare others, but aroused everyone's greater interest.

"Take us to see the centipede corpse now, right now, right now!"

That Lord Yan said forcefully in a tone of absolute command.

According to Xikelti, the corpse of the centipede was evil and scary, and it would definitely not be buried in this cool place. They were also afraid that the corpse of the centipede would suddenly scam them while they were asleep at night.

and so.

The place where the centipede's body is buried is in a place with sufficient sunlight to dispel the yin.

On the other side of the Ear of the Desert, it was a high ground, and there was a coffin placed alone. The coffin did not have a coffin lid, and the corpse inside was directly exposed to the scorching desert sun.

When everyone came to the coffin with curiosity, imagining in their minds whether the centipede really had a thousand hands, and looked into the coffin with their heads, they were stunned.

"Where's the corpse?"

The wooden coffin that had been exposed to the sun and cracked was empty, except for the yellow sand blown in by the wind and sand, there were no corpses of dead people or centipedes.

Hearing the sound, the veterans squeezed to the side of the coffin, looking at the empty coffin, their faces were stunned: "Where is the body of the centipede?"

Someone snorted coldly: "We should be the ones asking you this question. If you ask me now, who should I ask?"

The veterans defended in a panic, saying that the Centipede corpses had indeed been here all along.

"It seems that the body of the centipede has been taken away by those captive forces." Master Yan frowned.

"What is the other party doing with a dead body on the way?"

"Could it be that some of them know how to chase away corpses and want to use corpses to ask for directions?"

This Mr. Yan, who followed the prince of the capital, is indeed well-informed. Apart from wars and rivers and lakes, he even knows the ways of walking in the shadows and eating ghosts in the circle of strange people and strangers.

Ai Maimai said impatiently: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly, catch up with those people immediately, and then bring back the body of the centipede, the corpse of the centipede can only be ours!"

Yan Kuan glanced at Ai Mamat: "Now we even know where the other party came from, how many people are there, and all the clues about the other party are blank. After catching up with those people, do you go to fight with them?"

"But……"

"But what, we rushed into a fight with each other, killing you to the death, just to grab a centipede corpse that is useless at present?"

Ai Maimati continued anxiously: "As Daoist Jin'an said, they are already four or five days ahead of us. If we keep procrastinating, maybe those people have already found the kingdom of the undead!"

"Isn't there a saying among you Han people called 'eat meat and drink soup'? I'm afraid we won't even be able to drink soup if we stop talking about eating meat!"

"I think Lord Yan is right in one point. You can't be impatient, you have to think about it in the long run." Yan Kuan looked at Jin An who was talking in surprise, his eyes were filled with surprise. Stand up and speak for him.

Jin An didn't seem to notice Yan Kuan's surprised gaze, and pondered: "The Kingdom of the Immortal God is not so easy to find. No one has come here for thousands of years. It's dangerous, there's nothing wrong with us orioles picking up ready-made in the back."

"Now the opponent is in the light and we are in the dark. This is our greatest advantage."

Speaking of this, he chuckled and shrugged indifferently: "Even if the other party arrives at Baizu a few days earlier than us, so what? When they go around looking for clues to the kingdom of the undead, we have enough time to catch up with them."

None of the people present said a word about rescuing the kidnapped veteran.

Ah.

None of them were fools. As early as in Xiaoshizhuang, I could see that none of these veterans were good, and they concealed many things from them along the way.

Since there is no good impression.

Naturally, he will not be in a hurry to save people.

This is not to save people, this is to rush to reincarnate to save the enemy.

Jin An's opinion represented the opinion of Mr. Yiyun and Qi Bo, neither of them raised any objections.

Yan Kuan: "That's right, I'm standing with Daoist Jin'an this time."

The three parties have initially reached a consensus, which can be regarded as a temporary alliance to jointly fight against mysterious and unknown foreign enemies.

Those veterans looked gloomy: "Whether you help us or not, Old Yiding and the others were kidnapped, we must rescue them!"

"The 13 of us brothers grew up together, and we have decades of relationship. We will never see them in danger and do nothing to save them!"

After those veterans finished speaking, they wanted to leave on the spot to save others.

Seeing that the veterans were about to leave, Yan Kuan smiled hypocritically and said, "It's not that we don't want to save people, but it's too late now, and when we get all the supplies for food, clothing and water, it will be almost dark by then. Rather than rushing through the night, it’s better to recharge your batteries for one night, get a good night’s sleep, and after recovering your spirits, we’ll go after people at full speed tomorrow morning.”

"To save people, we need to talk about the rules of saving people. We can't mess up ourselves first. If we mess up ourselves first, let alone save people, maybe they won't be saved. We don't have enough water or food first. , died of thirst and froze to death in the desert.”

Yan Kuan continued to comfort him: "Since the other party chose to kidnap people instead of killing people immediately, it means that the kidnapped people are not in danger for the time being. If the old gentlemen trust me, just listen to me, Yan, and take a break today. One night, wait until tomorrow before rushing to save people."

Without his winking, the group of people under him had already consciously surrounded them, blocking the way of those veterans and preventing them from leaving.

Since leaving Xiaoshi Zhuang, some things can no longer be decided by these veterans.

Jin An is not interested in these things. He is more interested in the Tiankeng of the Ear of the Desert. He left behind the veterans who were arguing red-faced and Yan Kuan and others, and brought Mr. Yiyun to explore the Tiankeng of the Ear of the Desert. .

Qibo was left to look after the goats, camels, and supplies.

So that no one can do anything to the water they drink and the jerky they eat.

"Daoist Jin'an, what do you think of this kidnapping incident?" On the way to the pothole in the ear canal, Mr. Yiyun frowned slightly with his beautiful slender eyebrows.

Jin An chuckled, "Just let them bite dogs."

Next, he expressed all his suspicions that the people in the northern grassland tribes did it.

The ear of the desert is not a sandy soil structure. The main body is mainly shale. The closer you get to the hole in the ear canal, under the sand under your feet, you can faintly see layers of hard shale rocks like waves.

I don't know if it's a psychological hint, but these shales appear on this magical land, and they look like pieces of human ears, with something strange that I can't tell what it is.

Under the hot sun, the two walked around the hole in their ears and finally found a way down.

It was a revolving stone staircase polished on layers of shale rocks, leading all the way to the depths of the bottomless abyss.

There is no guardrail on the revolving stone ladder road, and the road is a bit steep. If you don’t pay attention to your feet, you may fall into the tiankeng and die.

pat.

pat.

Walking on the empty revolving stone staircase, there is a crisp echo, empty and distant.

These revolving stone stairs should have been built by the former Wuer clan. The stone stairs are not only steep, without guardrails, but also very narrow, so that two people cannot walk side by side, and only one person can walk at a time.

"Daoist Jin'an, you have never spent time alone, and now there are finally no outsiders around. What happened to those three people?"

Amidst the clear and echoing footsteps, the two descended deeper and deeper. On the narrow stone ladder, Jin An was a few steps behind Mr. Yiyun in front. She stared at the back of the five internal organs Taoist robe who was walking in front of her, and spoke in a clear and quiet voice.

The two have already had a tacit understanding, and Jin An knows who the three people Mr. Yiyun is referring to are without having to explain it clearly. He said with a relaxed tone: "One of them is called Sadiq and the other is called Sahafu. They are relatives, uncles and nephews. Another one is the old king of Yueqiang Kingdom, named Ilhamu."

"They are all people who wear sins and want to wash away their sins. This time they went to the desert, since they asked to wear sins and make meritorious service, it was also because I asked them. Without them, I don't even know if I would be able to go to the desert." Made it this far without a hitch."

Speaking of these three people, Jin An couldn't help laughing: "The pair of uncles and nephews did talk too much and said a lot of inappropriate things, but they did have a lot of fun in this boring desert. Mr. Yiyun is broad-minded, don't argue with them."

"!"

When he heard that one of the camels was actually a king, even Mr. Yiyun couldn't help opening his mouth in surprise.

Then he rolled his eyes at Jin An: "Daoist Jin'an, you have already said that, how else can I answer, otherwise it will appear that I am a small, unreasonable little girl."

what!
"Master Yiyun, aren't you a boy!" Jin An turned his head with a shocked expression.

Mr. Yiyun changed his face when he said that he changed his face, and immediately covered his face with frost: "Try saying one more word!"

The two continued to walk down the stone ladder. After a few hundred meters, the sun could no longer shine through their heads. They lit the torches they had prepared and continued to explore.

After quietly walking a few hundred meters, Mr. Yiyun's voice came from behind: "You haven't said how you turned them into camels?"

But Jin An concentrated on walking ahead and didn't answer.

"?"

"Why didn't you speak?"

Jin An turned his head in doubt: "Isn't it Mr. Yiyun that you didn't let me talk?"

Young Master Yiyun was suffocated by Jin An's anger, and she wanted to reach out to hit someone. She was often angered by Jin An along the way, she bit her lip, stared at Jin An's back and gritted her teeth and said, "You! Now! Here! Yes! Say it! Say it!"

"I wonder if Mr. Yiyun knows the art of making animals?"

Therefore, Jin'an obtained the animal-making skills in the dark tomb of the dojo, and then told the detailed life experiences of the old Sadiq, the young Sahafu, and Ilham in detail.

While walking and talking, the two of them descended deeper and deeper, and the surroundings were so dark that they couldn't see clearly.
