Chapter 109 Protect You

Yandu almost hit him, and Usman pulled his arm.

I saw Kurdan twirling his long gray beard repeatedly with one hand, sighing: "Your Highness, something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Yan stepped forward and asked him.

"Look, all the crows here are gone." Kurdan pointed to a huge ancient chieftain tree about ten paces away, scorched inside and out.

They saw this towering ancient tree when they were far away. Not only does it have many branches, but the trunk is as thick as four people hugging each other.

It's a pity that it was struck by lightning, and it was still a little whole except for the branches. The main trunk had already exploded, and the core of the tree was burnt out, and there was no vitality from top to bottom.

But with the tree's large roots and deep roots, it can still stand here and become a crow's nest.

Kurdan took a few steps forward, poked his rough fingers at the old withered tree and said, "This tree is the boundary ridge, as long as we cross it, we can safely pass through the Crow Spirit Cemetery."

"Great." Before Yan could speak, Ilya interjected excitedly, "It's over!"

"I haven't finished my sentence yet, Ilya, don't interrupt." Kurdan's beard trembled, and his attitude was haughty. Ilya snorted and turned his head away.

"Speak." Yan looked at Kurdan.

"Yes, Your Highness." Kurdan said solemnly, "Generally speaking, thousands of spirit crows will examine you from the tree. If you never have evil thoughts, you can spend your life doing good deeds in peace. But if you bring If you have evil thoughts, they will do justice for the heavens, tear you apart, and eat you alive."

Yan frowned, Usman listened quietly, and Ilya folded his arms indifferently: "Yan, don't listen to his nonsense, how is this possible, it's just a few crows, and they can still swallow people alive? "

"Of course there is nothing to be afraid of if there are only a few, but once the number reaches tens or tens of thousands, the power will be different. In an unworthy moment, you can peck people into bones." Kurdan gave Ilya a rude look. , and continued to say, "Your Highness, people with evil thoughts cannot pass through the Raven Spirit Tree, but how can one be born without the slightest evil thoughts, even greedy drinking is a sin, so no one can ever pass through this tree. Ancient trees. That's why, the ancient city of Kule is clearly in front of it, but no one has ever dug it up."

From Kurdan's head covering, he can walk in the right direction, and knowing that crows will attack passers-by here, Yan understands that Kurdan has been here before. Get pecked away.

Kurdan's surprised expression also made it clear that the absence of the crows was a mysterious thing.

"I saw a lot of crows when I came yesterday." Yan looked at the dark ashes-like sky, "Could it be because of the wind that they all hid?"

"There is also this possibility, or... it has something to do with the presence of the Raven Spirit Warlock." Kurdan twitched his gray-white cheek again.

Beard, looked at "Helian Uro" meaningfully.

Usman was noncommittal, holding the big air of a crow spirit warlock firmly.

Kurdan showed a sly smile, and continued, "Anyway, Your Highness, our trip went smoothly, and the ruins of the ancient city are two miles ahead."

"Yeah." Yan nodded lightly. Although the road was unimpeded, it felt worse than yesterday, like a sharp fishing hook hanging in front of him, and the "shundang" in front of him was a delicious bait, waiting for him Once you bite it, you can't get away from it anymore.

But this is an ancient city that has been around for thousands of years, and there are few people around. Who would come here to set a trap to harm him?No matter how long the hand of the Priest Tower is, it can't control what happened a thousand years ago.

Take another ten thousand steps back, even if they can set up traps from a thousand years ago to lure them into the bait, this time the stars are changing, and the seas and fields have changed, can they guarantee that there will be no mistakes in the middle?

Therefore, the guess that the priest tower set up a trap is difficult to establish, but there must be some mystery hidden in it.But no matter what it is, you can only know its depth by personally exploring it.

"Go ahead." Yan instructed Kurdan, then raised his head and gave Helen Uro a gentle smile beside him.

Seeing it, Kurdan was shocked in his heart, he turned his head hastily, and continued walking forward as if he didn't see it.

"—My God! Yan! Come and have a look!" Ilya ran away at some point, probably because she didn't want to hear Kurdan's sensational nonsense.

He climbed up the steep slope created by the corpses, and unexpectedly came to the huge natural grave that Yan and Usman discovered yesterday.

His voice was so earth-shattering that everyone was startled, and even the camel neighed twice.

The packer hastily grabbed the bridle so that the camel didn't run away in a fright.

"You all stay here, and Helen Uro and I will go over and have a look." Yan ordered decisively, and rushed to Ilya's side with Usman.

Yanyuan thought that Ilya screamed because he saw so many corpses, he went up and patted Ilya's shoulder, trying to comfort him, but he was stunned there without thinking.

—It's a crow!

Thousands of crow corpses are densely connected into a large piece, like a black coffin covering the corpses.

Without exception, these crows all died tragically, as if being run over by a huge wheel. Whether the crow's beak like a black iron knife or the shuttle-shaped torso showed unnatural broken and broken, the pair of crows The blood-colored eyes all protruded, and their blood stained the bones underneath, like a life sacrifice, this scene is really terrifying!

Yan's expression was even more horrified than Ilya's, after all, he had only been here yesterday.

There is no way to explain the death of these crows by sudden illness, after all, the death is too tragic.

The moment he saw the crow's corpse, Usman's pupils shrank suddenly, and the bone-piercing cold air filled his body from the top of his head. The blood-crying crow overlapped with his nightmare.

He seemed to hear the sharp and ear-piercing screams of crows, and also felt the weird feeling of crow blood splashing on the back of his hand and dripping down his little finger...

"Usman," Yan suddenly felt the people around him shake slightly, and quickly grabbed his hand and said, "What's wrong with you?!"

"Huh?" Usman came back to his senses, and saw Yan looking at him worriedly.

"I was taken aback." Usman was thankful that he was wearing Helian Uro's mask, no matter how lifelike it was, it would not reveal his original skin color, that is to say, he was bloodless at the moment , inflammation is invisible.

"Yanyan..." Usman suddenly called out.

"Ok?"

"I might..." Usman held Yan's finger back, his brows slightly wrinkled, "Yes."

"Have it?" Yan glanced up and down Usman worriedly and confusedly, and asked, "What's there?"

"Pfft..." Ilya on the side suddenly laughed, but he tried hard to hold it back, his cheeks were straightened.

"Ilya, are you alright?" Yan almost thought that Ilya was out of fright, so why did he cry and laugh.

Ilya shook his head, then pointed to Usman's stomach.

Cooperating with Ilya's ambiguous eyes, Yan suddenly understood what happened to Usman.

"Bastard! You're still talking nonsense at this time!" Yan shook off Usman's hand in embarrassment, "I'll throw you down, believe it or not?!"

"Yanyan, I have them all, and you are still so fierce to them..." Usman intensified, stretching out his arms to hug his stomach that was as flat as the bottom of a frying pan.

That "delicate and lovely" appearance is really like a new pregnant daughter-in-law.

"You have a hair!" This is the second time Yan swears at Usman today. Hearing this, Ilya couldn't help laughing anymore.

When everyone who was already nervous saw the three of them walking down the hillside "laughing and making noise", they knew that it was nothing serious, and they all relaxed their heartstrings that had been collapsing.

The team continued to move forward, and walked past the charred dead tree in an orderly manner. Nothing bad happened, but Yan gently tugged on Usman's sleeve and said, "Usman."

"Ok?"

"Those crows were obviously killed. No matter who killed so many crows, it proves that someone entered the ruins of the ancient city before us. I will raise the vigilance of the whole team, but don't wander around. Follow me, you know?"

"Understood." Usman was very obedient, "If you tell me to stay away from you, I can't do it."

"Let's talk less."

"Yanyan," Usman whispered, "How did those people get ahead of us? We didn't meet anyone along the way."

"Perhaps there is another way here. In short, if there are assassins, I will deal with them. Also... If I tell you to run, run as hard as you can, and don't look back at me if you are a mother-in-law." Yan resolutely told .

Yan has been thinking, if someone really sneaked into the ruins of the ancient city from under his nose, then the other party is not so powerful, so he had to prepare for the worst.

That is to let Usman get away after breaking himself.

"What about you?" Usman asked.

"Don't worry, I have my own way to get out, just promise me that you will protect yourself."

"Yanyan." Usman gently pinched Yan's little finger, "With you by my side, I feel very safe."

The corners of Yan's mouth were slightly raised, and when I wanted to say that I was relieved because of you, a vertical mound suddenly appeared in front of me. Its color was grayish yellow. At first glance, it looked like a crooked mountain wall, carved by wind and sand. Just, Dan Yan could see that it was a beacon tower!

"It's here! Your Highness! It's the ancient city of Kule!" Kurdan couldn't help shouting back, his excited expression made the beard hanging down his chest alive, trembling, as if he was dancing.

All the people, leading the camels and horses, began to run in small steps, rushing forward excitedly.

Only Yanyan can look in all directions, let's take a look at this place first.

This is a basin that is slightly lower than the cemetery, and it is deserted and inhabited as far as the eye can see, with wind and sand blowing past the ground, only weeds.

There are no traces of pedestrians stepping on the ground. Of course, it is also possible that someone deliberately concealed their footprints.

"I knew I would bring Snow Eagle out," Usman said, "and Frost Fang, they can patrol here."

"When they come, it means that the king of Xiliang is also here." Xueying and Shuangya are the personal guards of the king of Xiliang, and anyone who knows a little

They all know their loyalty to the King of Xiliang, and they will not leave Usman and run around.

Yan looked at him and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Dayan has a saying that when soldiers come to cover up water and soil, there is always a way."
