A sandstorm is definitely a scary thing in the desert!
The harm it brings is not only burying people deep under the yellow sand, but also making people lose their way and never find the way back.
Although everyone is a warrior and has strong resistance to this kind of danger, weird things are very likely to happen in such a weird place!
Moreover, the nature of sandstorms is strong winds, which can have a great impact on the surrounding airflow, and it is normal for it to disturb the remaining scent of Mu Chan'er and the others.
So it is very possible that this matter is indeed what Liu Rong said!
If you want to prove this problem, it is actually very simple!
"Everyone, go to the city first and ask the people in the city for details!"
If it was really a sandstorm, then people in the city should be able to see it!
So, just ask the local people and you should have the answer!
Thinking of this, everyone did not dare to delay for a moment and walked directly into the city.
Perhaps because of the sparse population, the gates of the deserted city did not have any defenses, and not even a single defender was seen.
Qin Yi and the others also walked into the city very quickly.
The streets were very deserted. Occasionally, I saw one or two people rushing on their way in a hurry. Even when they saw Qin Yi and the others, they didn't react at all.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously not easy to find someone to ask questions.
"Find an inn first!"
Qin Yi made a quick decision and immediately started searching the streets.
If they want to ask for news, the inn is obviously the best choice. And when Mu Chaner and the others come here, they probably want to stay. So it is very likely that they will find some useful clues in the inn!
After walking around on the street, Qin Yi and the others quickly locked onto their target.
This is an inn without any name written on it, and the word "Inn" is simply written on the plaque. It seems that the owner of this inn doesn't pay attention to this and is not even willing to deal with it.
Overall, the inn is quite big, but the business is extremely bleak. It is no exaggeration to describe it as empty!
Of course, in this place where there aren't many people in the first place, it's understandable that the inn's business is bleak. It's understandable that the shopkeeper doesn't want to put too much thought into it.
After entering the inn, someone came to greet them quickly.
"How many people are staying at the hotel?"
The person who greeted them was a middle-aged man. He was the only one in this empty inn.
"Are you the innkeeper?"
Qin Yi glanced at the other party, then took out 10,000 divine crystals and handed them to the other party: "Arrange a few rooms for us."
The divine crystal was placed in front of me, but the innkeeper did not take it.
Qin Yi frowned and looked at the other party with some confusion.
The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "Don't be offended, the shop never takes any money from guests staying in the hotel. You can go up and find a room on your own. If you think it's suitable, just stay there."
"The inn opens its doors to do business just for profit."
Qin Yi looked at the other party and asked: "What's more, your business here is not good to begin with. If you don't accept our money, it makes me worry."
The shopkeeper shook his head and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I definitely don't mean any harm to you!"
"Then why don't you accept the divine crystal?"
Qin Yi refused to give up and continued to ask.
No matter where you are, there is a saying that is absolutely applicable: free is definitely the most expensive!
"You guys don't know that the place where you are now will be a deserted city! This is a very scary place!"
When he said these words, the shopkeeper's face became a little ugly. I don't know if he was really scared or if he was deliberately scaring Qin Yi and the others.
But soon, the other party gave another explanation: "As long as you come in from our place, you will never leave unless you die here! Moreover, you should have seen this when you entered the city.
There is no one on the street anymore. Do you know what this means?"
"What does it mean?"
"It means that there are fewer and fewer people in this city, and most of them are dying!"
The shopkeeper sighed and said in a slightly desperate voice: "Let me ask you, what's the use of having money in a place like this, waiting to die?"
"I don't understand what you are saying."
Qin Yi frowned and said: "When we just came here, we found that there was nothing unusual here. There was no formation to isolate us, and there were no dangerous creatures to guard us. We have legs on our bodies, so why can't you leave!"
"Because..." the shopkeeper's voice was trembling, and his face was full of fear: "Because, since we came in, we have offended the desert god here. If we disturb its peace, we will be cursed.
!Some people once tried to leave here, but before they could leave, they were swallowed by the desert and could never come back!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Qin Yi was very surprised. The shopkeeper didn't seem to be telling lies, but what exactly was this "god of the desert"? Can he actually control the desert to kill people?
Could it be that the disappearance of Mu Chan'er and the others has something to do with this "God of the Desert"?
Thinking of this, Qin Yi quickly asked: "Shopkeeper, what's happening around here in the past few days? For example, a sandstorm or something!"
"What's so weird about a sandstorm?"
The shopkeeper said: "This is not a rare thing here. As long as someone wants to leave, a sandstorm will appear and bury the person under the yellow sand!"
"So, sandstorms do exist?"
Qin Yi had already grasped the direction and continued to ask: "Have you seen four girls appear here in the past few days?"
"Four girls? Of course I've seen them before!"
The shopkeeper nodded and said: "After they come here, they will stay in the shop!"
Qin Yi said excitedly: "What about them?"
"died."
The shopkeeper shook his head and said with great regret: "What can't they think about? They are obviously in the Mood for Love, but they ended up in this cursed place? When they said they wanted to leave that day, I tried to persuade them many times, but
It's a pity that they didn't listen. Then soon, a sandstorm appeared and swallowed them completely. As for the strangeness you mentioned, maybe it was that the sandstorm was so big and scary that it covered the sky and the sun! It can even be said that the entire desert was covered with dust.
It's boiling! When everything calms down, they will disappear completely!"
"it is as expected!"
Qin Yi finally found the answer, but his heart was not relaxed at all: "Shopkeeper, when did they leave?"
"Just yesterday!" the shopkeeper said, "You must be acquaintances of them, right? If you are looking for them, I advise you to give up! The God of the Desert is not something we can offend!"
