After listening to Eggplant's words, Ji Han looked at the arm-sized desert tilapia on the ground and asked:
"Eggplant, are you sure it's a snake?"
Eggplant shook his head and said:
"Just now I could only see a big black shadow, but now it has disappeared and I can't see clearly. I guess it's a snake because I saw the black shadow seemed to twist a bit."
Since there are fish in the desert, it is understandable that there are other creatures in the ecosystem below.
But if it is a snake that can fly a tilapia in the sand a hundred meters away and land here, what kind of power is this?
And the shock just now, how big a snake is this? You wouldn’t dare to shoot like this in the Python Disaster, right?
Everyone was lucky to have ran over in time. It would have been really dangerous if they had just been attacked by the unknown object on the road.
Ji Han suggested:
"Everyone, please stay away from the sand. That thing seems to be quite big. I wonder if it will come ashore."
Song Qian also suggested:
"Then let's move on. I hope there will be another way out when we go out."
Eggplant smiled evilly and said:
"I also hope that Team Ethan will not be completely wiped out here."
Chen Ke asked:
"They shouldn't be chasing us anymore, right? The signal stickers are all torn off."
Eggplant shook his head and said:
"Chen Ke, you are still too young and too simple. Those guys are not cowards. They have chased you so far and suffered a lot. If I were them, I would definitely not go back."
Ji Han Xiao Tanshou said:
"No need to worry about others, let's find the divine pillar as soon as possible."
The four of them stepped on the rough stone ground and continued to move forward, but the place seemed to be much more open. With the sudden attack of unknown creatures in the sand just now, everyone became cautious.
Ji Han even took out a lighting arrow and shot forward.
The lighting arrow didn't fly very far, and before it exploded, it directly hit something.
As the white light of the lighting arrow shot out, a simple city made of stones appeared in front of the four people.
The city is five or six meters high, with a three- to four-meter city gate hole in the middle. One of the city gates in the hole has fallen down, and the other one is also standing diagonally beside the city wall.
There are three corpses hanging on the front of the city wall.
The lighting arrow shot by Ji Han hit right next to the corpse on the city wall.
Looking at this city buried deep in the ground with corpses hanging on it, Chen Ke whispered:
"This isn't Fengdu City, is it?"
Fengdu City is also the underworld and the city of the dead in ancient legends.
Eggplant heard the joke and said:
"That's not the case. Yama Luo Palace is considered a fat water government office. How could it not even decorate the city gate? Not to mention the Yin soldiers, it is too miserable to not even have a guard."
After hearing the eggplant joke, Chen Ke also relaxed a little and said with a smile:
"Maybe the inflation is too serious. After all, everyone has to spend billions."
Ji Han replied quite seriously:
"Fengdu City was first proposed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. You can see the city here in the nine-star mirror of the Pre-Qin Dynasty. It's definitely not the case. Stop talking about it and let's go in and have a look."
At this moment, I don't know if it was the vibration caused by the lighting arrow shot by Ji Han, which caused the thing hanging the corpse to loosen, and one of the corpses hanging on the wall above his head fell off.
Song Qian walked in front and was the first to notice it. She stretched out her hand to block everyone.
"careful!"
With a crisp "click" sound, the hanging body fell to the ground.
The dry and brittle body was smashed into pieces like a plate.
Chen Ke was so frightened that he took a step back and subconsciously clasped his hands together and said:
"Shattered peace, broken peace."
Ji Hanxin said that since having Chen Ke, he feels that he has become a lot more courageous.
Seeing no other movement, the four of them walked over carefully. It looked like the body had been hung for too long and had dehydrated in the dry underground.
It fell to the ground and was smashed into pieces, stirring up a small puff of dust, but the clothes he was wearing before he died can still be seen.
It was furry, and seemed to be a product of cow or sheep fur.
Ji Han turned around and said:
"Chen Ke, it's your specialty. Come and see if this body has left any information."
Chen Ke squatted down and fiddled with it for a while, took a detailed look at the clothes and some decorations on the body, scratched his head and said:
"This... this seems to be a nomadic people from the Han Dynasty, and looks like the Xiongnu."
Song Qian was also surprised and said:
"The Huns? Why did the Huns appear here?"
Eggplant also added:
"Shouldn't the Huns be on the grassland?"
Ji Han explained:
"No, during the Qin Dynasty, there was a ruthless man named Mo Dun who killed his father and succeeded to the throne. He unified the northern grasslands for the first time and established the huge Xiongnu Empire. At that time, they occupied the northern grasslands and the northwest desert.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, they occupied this area for a long time until the Five Husties invaded China, but I remember that this should have been the territory of the Da Yueshi at that time."
Eggplant shook his head when he heard these unfamiliar terms and said:
"No matter who is Yueshi or not, they should be up there. Where did the Huns come from so deep underground?"
It's really strange that these people's bodies appear here.
"Chen Ke, are there any other discoveries?"
"It's gone. I can only tell it's from the Western Han Dynasty. I can't find any more information."
"Well, let's go take a look first. Everyone, grab your weapons. The Huns were considered to have high-end combat capabilities at that time. If you die here, you will definitely not encounter a mole."
The four of them entered the city stepping on the broken wooden door.
It's obviously much warmer here than outside.
It was still dark in front of us, but we could vaguely see a lot of things scattered around our feet on the rough stone ground.
When I shined the flashlight, I saw only dried corpses lying on the edge of the city wall.
Looking along the wreckage, I found two more corpses nailed to the wall, and their heads had been chopped off.
There are also many arrows stuck inside the city gates and walls.
It can be seen that there was a big battle here.
Eggplant was a little confused and said:
"Huh? Damn it, are we on the wrong side? Why does this battle seem to be fought in the city? There are no traces of fighting outside the city gate."
Ji Han nodded and said:
"Yes, it doesn't look like a siege. It's obvious that these people want to rush out."
Chen Ke was a little fussy when he heard this and said:
"Brother Ji, let's fire lighting arrows. What's going on here?"
Ji Han took out a lighting arrow and said to himself that luckily there should be no light-sensitive monsters underground, otherwise it wouldn't be a gift, but in this case it would be impossible to use lighting arrows in a large area.
Unavoidably touching the dome here, Ji Han lowered his altitude a little, and the lighting arrow shot out quickly.
It exploded above everyone's heads, and the white light illuminated the surroundings again.
I saw many corpses lying in the open space in front of me. It seemed that the battle taking place here was very fierce.
The end of the clearing seemed to be a cliff, but there was a fence. The four of them took advantage of the lighting effect and ran directly to the end of the clearing, where they could see the situation outside the fence.
There are many house-style holes on the stone walls on the left and right sides, which look like cave dwellings.
In front of the holes on both sides are simple wide paths, both of which are connected to the open space where the four people are.
Outside the wide fence and in front of the four people, there was a huge crack that was bottomless.
