Dragon Elephant Valkyrie

Chapter 251 The Origin of the Black Snake
After the ancestor of the merchant forced the six-eyed black snake back, the martial artist of the merchant packed up his broken carriage, treated the wounded, and continued on the road.

After Shang Qingqiu got off the golden armored chariot, he didn't say anything, but let the team move on.

The damaged bronze chariot was refurbished and replaced with six horses to move forward.

Qin Yu did not continue to ride in the bronze chariot, but gave way to the injured person.

The team marched all night, and the terrain ahead began to slope downward.

The already deep canyon sank again, as if it was about to lead to an endless abyss.

Not only that, but the canyon has become wider and wider, and the canyon is criss-crossed, with strange rocks everywhere, and the terrain is becoming more and more complicated.

When the daylight was getting brighter, Qin Yu kicked a hard lump, and when he picked it up, it looked like a piece of iron, severely corroded.

Afterwards, Qin Yu found pieces of bronze and iron on the road from time to time. After careful identification, they looked like fragments of weapons and armor, which had been broken for too long.

After walking for a while, a pair of human skeletons appeared on a mountain wall. The skeletons were embedded in the rocks and had already become fossils.

A flustered breath began to float in the air.

Qin Yu walked up to Shang Bieli and asked in a low voice, "Is this the Emperor's Market?"

Shang Bieli didn't deny it this time, he nodded and said, "Yes, we have already stepped into the Emperor's Ruins."

Qin Yu pointed to a pair of skeletons on the mountain wall, and asked, "Then this is?"

"These skeletons have existed here a long time ago. In fact, there are many human and monster skeletons in this emperor's ruins, and they did not stay here in the same era." Shang Bieli explained.

The bones embedded on the mountain wall have become fossils. They should have been buried in the ground and turned into fossils before the rock layer fell off and was revealed.

The bones that have become fossils indicate that they have existed here for countless years.

After walking a certain distance, Qin Yu saw some regular rocks. He took a torch from the guard next to him and took a closer look. He found that these rocks looked like ruins left by the weathered buildings.

However, these ruins have been weathered very badly. For example, the collapsed stone pillars have been weathered into long strips of rocks. If there are not similar rocks nearby, and they are regularly arranged together, it is difficult to tell that these rocks used to be buildings. .

Qin Yu immediately turned his head to look at Shang Bieli, and asked, "Is this a place where people lived?"

Shang Bieli replied: "That's true. After a long time of research by our merchants, it is confirmed that this is the site of an ancient country. Back then, the ancestor read many ancient books and deduced that this emperor's ruins should be in ancient times. There was a war between the two ancient countries. The strong men of the world took action, and a world-shattering war broke out, which finally destroyed this ancient country."

After stepping into the ruins of this ancient country, Shang Qingqiu let an unremarkable carriage come to the front.

The curtain door of the carriage opened, and a thin middle-aged man sat inside.

This skinny middle-aged man was covered with a thick quilt covering only one head, with a cotton cap on his head.

Although the Emperor's Ruins was a bit gloomy and cold, it was still a little strange that the skinny middle-aged man was wrapped tightly in a quilt.

Shang Qingqiu pointed to the road ahead and asked, "Which side?"

The thin middle-aged man pondered for a long time before looking towards the direction to the left, and slowly opened his mouth, and said in a voice as hoarse as a ghost: "Then...over there..."

Shang Qingqiu led the team towards the direction pointed by the thin middle-aged man.

Qin Yu patted Shang Bieli's shoulder and asked, "Is this the person who saw the Emperor's Blood Flower?"

Shang Bieli nodded first, then shook his head: "Actually, the clan uncle who saw the Emperor's Blood Flower is no longer here. This cousin of mine is the son of that clan uncle. After the clan uncle got lost in the Emperor's Ruins, Tang Brother went to look for it, and finally found it, but the clan uncle was dying, so he told his cousin how he saw the Emperor Blood Flower before he died."

This skinny middle-aged man looked like he was five or sixty years old.

Qin Yu saw that he was thin and haggard, so he thought he was a middle-aged man, but he didn't expect that he was Shang Bieli's cousin, so this person may not be 30 years old, but he has already aged like this.

According to Shang Bieli, the person who actually saw the Emperor's Blood Flower was dead, and this business cousin only heard about the Emperor's Blood Flower from his father.

That being said, this trip does not guarantee finding the Emperor Blood Flower.

But the merchant still has to come in and give it a try, which shows that the ancestor of the merchant's martial arts really can't wait.

"Then why is your cousin so old?" Qin Yu asked.

Shang Bieli sighed, and said: "Cousin, when he was looking for the clan uncle, he was bitten by something, and when he returned home, he was treated by a famous doctor. Although his life was saved, he became like this."

"How long ago?"

"Ten years."

"It's been so long, your merchants should have come in to look for the Emperor's Blood Flower, right?" Qin Yu guessed.

Shang Bieli admitted: "Yes, I sent people in three times before and after, and searched for it according to the route drawn by my cousin, but they couldn't find it."

The team slowly moved forward according to the route pointed out by the businessman's cousin, and gradually penetrated into the ruins of this ancient country.

By the second night, everyone was tired and exhausted.

Shang Qingqiu chose to camp and rest, and personally led people to watch the night.

The night passed peacefully, without any accidents.

The next day, the team continued to follow the road indicated by the merchant's cousin. After walking for three hours, they came to a tall ruined wall.

Judging from the collapsed ruins, it was once a tall courtyard wall.

As the ruins blocked the road, the carriage could not pass.

Shang Qingqiu ordered the merchant's cousin to be helped down, and led a group of people into the courtyard of the collapsed ancient country.

Qin Yu wanted to see what was inside, so he followed inside.

The cousin of the businessman was helped into the ancient palace, entered a room that had collapsed, pointed to the corner of the wall, and said in a hoarse voice: "That's...that's right there...I stepped on something, just Got bitten..."

As he spoke, he pulled up his trouser legs, revealing the wound on his right leg. The skin and flesh of the wound had become deformed, which looked terrifying.

Shang Bieli stood up and said, "I'll go over and see what it is."

Shang Qingqiu reminded: "Be careful."

"I know." Shang Bie drew out his long sword, took a torch, and slowly approached with two other merchant martial artists.

Qin Yu followed behind, staring at the dark corner.

When the light of the torch in Shang Bieli's hand illuminated that corner, a broken oval stone appeared there.

This stone is the size of a human torso, half buried in the ground, the outer layer has been weathered, and it is very rough with pits.

But the most amazing thing is that this oval stone is hollow, and one side has been broken, exposing the round hollow inside.

"Huh! This is an egg!" Shang Bieli said immediately.

That's right, Qin Yu can also see that this weathered oval stone is an egg, to be precise, it is a broken egg shell.

In other words, the business cousin stepped on an egg and was bitten by the "thing" inside.
