The most majestic thing about the desert city is the City Lord's Mansion, which covers an area of tens of thousands of acres. Its buildings are from front to back, from left to right, and the vast area is simply intimidating.
Adjacent to the magnificent City Lord's Mansion is a mansion that is mainly in black and white. Although it is not as glorious as the City Lord's Mansion, it is more unique in its momentum. The two jade lions in front of the door further highlight the low-key luxury of this mansion.
This is the young master's mansion of the Fang family. However, no young master of the Fang family has settled here today. Because the wedding is coming, young master Fang has already temporarily stayed in the city lord's mansion, and this young master's mansion is naturally given to
The Fang family is the most powerful, or in other words, the family closest to the Fang family.
Liu family!
At this time, in the hall of the Young Master's Mansion, the head of the Liu family was sitting with several elders. Although the City Lord's Mansion next door had already been decorated with lights, the laughter and laughter of the City Lord's Mansion could still be heard in the Young Master's Mansion.
However, at this moment, everyone in the young master's mansion had sad faces.
"Report!"
A servant hurriedly entered, knelt down and shouted urgently.
"Get up." Liu Tao, the head of the Liu family, frowned and shouted softly.
"Yes." The servant stood up and said respectfully: "The spies from the eight detachments have arrived."
"Very good, please come in quickly." Liu Tao said urgently.
After the servants left, Liu Tao looked at each other and smiled at the elders.
"The desert land is getting hotter day by day, and the temperature is rising almost at a terrifying rate every year."
"The annual temperature may not seem to reflect much, but in fact it is extremely terrifying."
"Warm water boils a frog. Today's desert land is turning into warm water, and we are the poor frogs."
Once a year, it seems that it is not too hot. Ordinary people will not notice much difference even within three to five years. However, if it is established in a desert land under normal circumstances, it will only rise to 0.0 degrees in thousands of years. This will only happen in an instant.
It has become amazing.
"If this situation continues, it won't be long before there will no longer be any living creatures in this familiar land."
"Now eight teams of spies have returned. I believe they should have brought some good news." Liu Tao nodded, his face relatively relaxed.
At almost this moment, eight young men dressed in black walked in quickly.
"I've met the head of the family and all the elders." The eight people were well-trained and almost knelt down in unison and said in unison.
"We are all members of our own family, so why should we be polite? Get up quickly." Liu Tao said hurriedly.
The eight people looked at each other and quickly stood up.
"You have been out for nearly three years, have you gained anything?" Liu Tao said softly, his eyes full of longing.
When he first went out, Liu Tao had already given death orders to the eight teams. If there was no news that had not been found for a day, there would be no reply. Now that the eight teams have returned at the same time, there must be good news.
"Let me tell you, head of the family, in the past three years, we have traveled across mountains and rivers and searched almost all desert lands and places thousands of miles around, but we have never found its whereabouts. Therefore, we have never returned to the Liu family in the past three years."
"Unfortunately, three years later, we still haven't found it. But..."
"We have its whereabouts."
After hearing the first half of the words, Liu Tao and all the elders were already ashen-faced, but when they heard the second half, they finally saw a glimmer of hope in their despair.
It's good to have news, at least it's much better than nothing.
"It's strange to say that in the past three years, we have had eyes all over the place, but we have never been able to sense its aura. Until a few days ago, we discovered something unusual in a village."
"Village?" Liu Tao frowned.
"It's already far outside the desert land." The subordinate explained.
Liu Tao nodded: "What's next?"
"We have limited manpower and cannot station people in every place, so when we found something, we rushed there immediately, but the strange thing is that the village we detected a few years ago suddenly disappeared," the subordinate said.
.
"Is there such a strange thing?" Liu Tao frowned: "Could it be that the people in that village also knew that you had gone there, so they hid it?"
"People can be hidden, but how to hide the buildings in the village? The village seems to have ceased to exist overnight. Even the ground has grown a lot of green grass overnight. It is as if no one has ever lived there."
"Is there such a weird thing?" Liu Tao frowned.
"Although it is strange, what is even more strange is that the aura did not disappear with the disappearance of the village, but came all the way towards the desert city." After finishing speaking, the subordinate looked at Liu Tao.
"What?!" Almost at the same time, Liu Tao and the elders stood up nervously.
