Chapter 504 The Altar of Life and Death (05)

They really never expected that they thought they were farther away from the direction they should go and ran to a farther place, but since they found out last night that there is only a wall between them and the ruins they have always wanted to reach, they can't use words to describe themselves now. What kind of mood is it.

"I...fuck..." Zhao Chenggong opened his mouth naturally, and it was a verb that allowed human beings to reproduce for thousands of years, but here this word expresses her admiration, and it can also mean that he said other things besides this word. of.

"What a waste... so it's right next to us..." Si Xuanyi could only smile wryly. If they hadn't stayed there but continued to move forward, they might have discovered this gap long ago, or they might have gone in another direction and missed it forever , the world is unpredictable, who can say that the stay last night was unnecessary?Perhaps this is an opportunity given to them by God, or it may be a test given to them by God. In short, all of this may be what they should experience. Si Xuanyi suddenly felt that everything seemed to be under his own control.

"The ancestors bless..." This is Xiaolu's exclamation. For her, all of this is destined, and it is the test and protection of her ancestors.

"Go in..." Si Xuanyi said simply.

Zhao Chenggong shook the wooden gun in his hand, lifted his legs and climbed up the broken wall. The width of this wall was more than one meter, and it didn't seem to be much different from the huge city wall. The thick wall made people feel very Practical, as if it can resist the invasion of all external forces.

Zhao Chenggong didn't rush down, but squatted on the wall and looked inside. The little devil was right in front of them. Who knows where those guys stayed?Is it possible to be looking this way?So be careful!
After confirming safety, Zhao Chenggong jumped a bit. Below was the chest-deep wormwood, and the withered grass and fallen leaves were very thick under his feet. They stepped on it softly, like a huge cushion. It was the little devil who came out, so it is not difficult to distinguish the traces left by the little devil in this case.

The trees here are much sparser than those in the woods outside, but these big trees have already grown to block out the sun, vines of different thicknesses hang down from them, and many places are connected with the huge city wall, and the air There is a faint mist, which is mixed with the smell of damp and rotting leaves.

There are huge broken walls everywhere. The strange thing is that they can't see other buildings except the wall. So why was it built like this back then?Where are the patriarchs and guides of Xiaolu's ancestors buried?

"Don't look at me, the two of us." Seeing that Zhao Chenggong wanted to ask her a question, Xiaolu said first.

"This place doesn't look small..." Si Xuanyi looked at the ruins like a city wall and said, he really couldn't think of any secrets hidden in this kind of place.

"This should be a stone city, but it was abandoned." Zhao Chenggong said.

"This place..." Si Xuanyi had an indescribable feeling as soon as he entered here. For some reason, he always felt that there was something hidden in this place, as if some kind of wild beast lived there. The century-old ethnic tomb looks like a huge nest no matter how you look at it.

Between the withered grass and stone walls, they could recognize some places similar to streets and squares. Obviously, the scale of the buildings here can really be described as grand. The materials used for the walls at this time alone are very unusual. A huge stone brick weighs at least several hundred kilograms. Even in modern times, it is impossible to destroy such a strong city wall in a short period of time with bombardment.

"Where are the ghosts going? The center of the city?" Zhao Chenggong walked forward slowly, recognizing the traces, afraid of an ambush ahead, so he didn't dare to go too fast. After all, they didn't have anything useful except sticks in their hands. .

In this way, the three of them walked slowly through the grass. The speed was not fast, but it was considered steady. Si Xuanyi's attention was focused on the high walls on both sides. This kind of place was designed from top to bottom. , which means they are very dangerous underneath.

A gust of wind blew through the grass and trees and made a rustling sound. Zhao Chenggong stopped. Si Xuanyi was about to ask, but immediately he also smelled a strong smell of blood in the air.

They turned their heads and looked at the direction the wind was blowing from. They couldn't see anything except the grass and trees. Si Xuanyi pointed over there, and the three of them immediately touched it carefully. They walked forward for about a hundred meters and there was a block in front of them. The reason for saying this is because the ground here is completely paved with stones. Although grass and trees have grown in the gaps between the stones after thousands of years of history, relatively speaking, compared with the surrounding area, it is still relatively small. It was relatively open, but there was more grass. Si Xuanyi took a closer look, only to find that it was originally a ten platform, but it had been submerged by weeds, fallen leaves and dust for a long time, but it could be seen that it was a little taller than the current ground. Just a little bit, in the place near the innermost side of these ten platforms, they found a large pile of corpses in a mess.

"I...fuck..." Zhao Chenggong blurted out a mantra as he looked at the corpses all over the floor.

These scattered corpses are all little devils, there are twenty or thirty of them, and all of them have knife wounds without exception, which means that these guys were killed by cold weapons.

"It's my clan..." Xiaolu said, "It can be done at night."

"That's not so easy..." Si Xuanyi said while turning over the corpse, "See if there is anyone who can handle it."

Zhao successfully found a bayonet, but Si Xuanyi only found a grenade and a dozen bullets. Other than that, he found nothing else. It was obvious that these little devils had already been searched.

"Too poor..." Zhao Chenggong picked up a steel helmet and put it on his head. He didn't want to use this thing to protect himself, but he thought it was quite useful, in case they were going to trek through the woods , You can use this thing as a pot, this guy really has a long-term plan.

"Finally, there is someone who can take advantage of him to commit suicide." Si Xuanyi said mockingly, holding the grenade.

"Go there?" Zhao Chenggong asked.

"Go inside..." Si Xuanyi looked at the sky. There were relatively few trees here. Although the sky was not bright yet, it was indeed much brighter than before.

Not far away, gunshots were heard from the ruins ahead, and the sound seemed to be more than a hundred meters away.

Si Xuanyi beckoned, and the three of them accelerated towards that direction. The gunfire stopped after a while. When they arrived, they saw a group of devils evacuating. They didn't dare to show their faces without weapons. Son, I had to hide in the dark and watch, there were more than a dozen of these little devils, and they were withdrawing while covering each other alternately.

"How many people did the little devil come in? There were more than 20 people in that place just now? Why are there so many?" Zhao Chenggong watched the car go away, the little devil said.

"I'm most concerned about who they are fighting with right now?" Si Xuanyi looked at the direction where the gunshots came from just now, except for the broken wall and wormwood, he couldn't see a single figure.

"Maybe it's because of his beasts..." Zhao Chenggong said, "The most indispensable thing in this broken place is beasts."

Si Xuanyi didn't speak, and now that the little devils were out of sight, they cautiously went around to check the place where the battle took place just now, passing through a piece of messy grass. They found messy grass on the moss behind the broken bridge on the other side. There were quite a few footprints, and he could identify them at a glance. There were footprints of his own people and footprints of Xiaolu's tribe armed forces. It seemed that there were more than a dozen footprints. The footprints stretched all the way forward, but they did not expect Surprisingly, these footprints eventually extended all the way to the direction where the little devil left. Si Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what was going on. The little devil chased after him.

"So it's like this..." Zhao Chenggong also understood, "Do you want to chase?"

"Of course we have to chase..." Si Xuanyi nodded, "They were outnumbered by the little devil but they withdrew, which means they didn't have enough ammunition. We must find them as soon as possible, so we can only follow the little devil."

It was only because of work that I remembered that the footprints of a group of people were chasing after them just now, and indeed there were not many bullet casings found on the ground. Could it be that those people have reached the point where they have run out of ammunition and food?It seems that the situation of these people is not very good.

In addition, through the analysis of those footprints, they found that there were actually not many of them, and most of them were armed by those tribes. They don't know whether their own people were scattered during the battle, or only these few people were lost. No matter what the reason is, Si Xuanyi is unwilling to accept it, because it shows that the situation of other people is really bad, and this is exactly what he doesn't want to see.

Xiaolu didn't speak all the time, but from her expression, it seemed that she was not as panicked as before. Maybe it was because after seeing these footprints, she felt that there were still many of her own people, so she felt at ease.

The three of them immediately followed the direction that the little devil left. The stone city was bigger than they expected, and there were the largest broken walls, stone pillars and some building debris everywhere. Through these, they could basically judge that this place was going through After countless years, a large part of it has been buried underground. Years of wind and rain, the accumulation of fallen leaves and mud and dust are slowly devouring this ancient city that was forgotten in the mountains.

I don't know if it's because it's early in the morning. It's very quiet here. Except for the occasional gunshots, they can't hear anything. There are no birds or beasts. In short, this place is empty and desolate. It's like being forgotten by the whole world...

It can be said that the speed of the three people was very fast, but they did not catch up with those little devils. After passing through a large area of ​​ruins, those marks disappeared. There was actually a river in front of it. Although it was only 30 meters wide, the current was very strong. turbulent.

"They swam over?" Zhao Chenggong looked at the rapids in disbelief, but there were no traces here, and there was no other possibility except this, because he didn't find any traces of anyone going up or down the current.

"Above..." Xiaolu pointed to a big tree not far away. The two of them took a closer look and found that there was a rope tied to the tree, extending all the way to another tree on the opposite bank. It turned out that these people came from the tree. climbed over.

"Grandma's..." Zhao Chenggong muttered in a low voice, "This method saves trouble..."

The three of them immediately walked in that direction, and soon found several other similar ropes nearby. This was indeed a good idea, but although the river was fast, it was not wide, and it would not be too difficult to swim across. Difficult?Why is it so laborious to erect a cableway in the air?If those people have any scruples, what about the little devil?What are they worried about?
Thinking of Si Xuanyi turning his attention to the turbulent river, he noticed that the color of the water was quite dark, so green that it was black. Then you said that such a wide river should not be so deep, right?But the color of the water means that the water is definitely not shallow?Could it be that there is a problem with the water?He found a stone on the bank and threw it into the water. From the businessman who would fall into the water at that time, he could tell that the water was really deep.

"Oh, let's go... I still have to worry about these things." Zhao Chenggong urged impatiently because of his strange behavior.

Si Xuanyi was staring at it, the water splashed by the stones, she seemed to see a shadow in the water, and it was not small, there was really something in the water...

"I still have to go up, the water here is not clean..." Si Xuanyi went back to the tree and looked up. The trunk was thick and the branches were luxuriant. It would not be too difficult to get up.

"The water is not clean? Can't you drink it?" Zhao Chenggongmei understood what he meant.

"I don't know if I can drink it, but the thing below is not small, so it might bite people." Si Xuanyi said while climbing up the tree, "If you want to survive, you'd better stay away from that water."

Zhao Chenggong looked back at the water surface but saw nothing. At this time, Si Xuanyi and Xiaolu had already climbed up, so he quickly followed.

In fact, this ropeway is not difficult to climb. The three people reached the opposite bank without much effort. Sure enough, there appeared again below. Some huge stone buildings, they found a person not too far forward, a seriously injured tribal armed man, Xiaolu hurried up to treat and inquired about the situation, but unfortunately the person could not speak, the injury was too serious, Si Xuanyi checked and shook his head, indicating that this person is no longer good.

Xiaolu seemed to know this person very well, and she was very anxious. Si Xuanyi did some rescue work. In fact, this could only make this person last longer. In fact, it was earlier for him. The person opened his eyes and glanced at Xiaolu, and then Pointing in one direction seems to want to say something, but in the end nothing comes out...
