Chapter 1689 Question
Under the rock, after the silver swordsman was buried, the nearly 50-year-old brown-haired man spread his hands and said to Tusi Xiong and others: "Facts have proved that we did not kill your people. Now we Can you leave?"
"Wait a minute." Jennifer, Alice and others came from behind, surrounded the eight of them and asked, "Why are you eight? Why would it appear here?"
A fair-skinned man was unhappy with this situation and said unhappily: "This is our business, is it necessary to tell you?"
" If you don't tell us, we won't let you go." The alligator clenched his fists. He was also a bandit, and he had his own way of dealing with these eight people who looked like sand pirates. In fact, he didn't know why Jennifer kept these people, it was just a matter of singing and simple cooperation, and he was also very curious about these guys appearing in such a remote place in the cold weather.
The alligator put on such a posture, and the other brothers also showed malicious sneers, and they were all gearing up, as if they would take action at any time: "Don't tell us that you are travelers in the desert. Haha, this We won’t believe it.”
I am a widow against all odds. The eight of them knew they were no match, so one of the red-bearded dwarves had no choice but to say: "We...we are from the desert, you know. We happened to be passing by here. We were too tired from the journey and wanted to take a day's rest at the castle over there. Although we are... Sand pirates, but it’s not against you. You don’t have to... be against us. How are you?"
Jennifer shook her head and chuckled: "Isn't that right? I met four of you in Zhuyan Town not long ago. It's quite a long way from Zhuyan Town to here. . It’s not long after the New Year. This month, it’s not yet time for merchants to sell goods in large quantities. Isn’t it abnormal to come here so far away?”
It turns out that four of these eight people were the four who had the sword taken away from them in Zhuyan Town. When they first met, Jennifer and Ai Liz recognized it immediately, and didn't reveal the matter until now, just to see how the other party would react.
The expressions on the faces of the four people who lost their swords were a little embarrassed. A woman with blue hair and purple eyes came out and explained: "There are caravans in the desert every year and every month, and some caravans go out of season. We want to steal goods, so we wander around and try our luck to see if there are any small caravans that can let us make a fortune. Now more and more people are becoming bandits, and our life is not easy. But we only rob goods and do not kill people. , so please let us go, please?”
They had no goods, so it was impossible to pretend to be merchants or travelers. No one would travel so deep into the desert during this month. They knew that their identities as sand pirates could not be concealed, so they had no intention of concealing them in the first place. However, there are risks in admitting one's identity as a sand bandit. There is no need for a reason and no sense of guilt when meeting a bandit in the desert and killing the bandit. They have to deal with it carefully.
Shakhan shook his head: "I don't believe your explanation."
Qiu Ya sneered: "We are the sand pirates, when are the sand pirates busy? , when is the time for sand pirates to have fun, I We know it all. You can't deceive us with lies like this, so I advise you to tell the truth. It will be better for you and us. "
The more these people hide, the more they hide. On the contrary, it made everyone more curious.
Seeing that the other party refused to let them go, these eight people could not hide it from them. After looking at each other, the brown-haired man sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, there is nothing that can't be said." He took a deep breath and said: "We are actually here to explore an underground monument."
"Underground monuments? Treasure hunt! Mausoleum!?" Everyone's hearts jumped, thinking of the tomb of the Flame Princess.
The brown-haired man shook his head: "I don't know, hey, you guys should tell me."
The one who spoke was the dwarf with a blood-red beard. He said: "About two more A few months ago, we accidentally discovered an underground ancient ruin here. There were many bones in the ancient ruins. We didn’t dare to go too deep because we thought it was a It's a dangerous place. I don't know what kind of place it is. We just brought out some money from the corpses and a very beautiful sword. We originally wanted to sell the sword for a better price, but it was robbed. "That's it." "So now you have contacted more partners and plan to continue exploring that underground monument?" Jin asked.
The Bloodbeard Dwarf shrugged: "Yes."
Tyson and Shakhan on the side murmured a few words. Shakhan said to these people: "We believe what you said for the time being. Now take us to the place you said."
The man in the goggles said helplessly: "I knew things would turn out like this. . ”
Take the airship and hot air balloon back the same way, and under the guidance of this group of sand pirates, land on a desert field not far from Qiu Island.
Securing the airship with an anchor rope, Jennifer looked at the flat sand nearby and saw nothing special, and asked: "Is this where you are talking about?"
These six men, two women, and eight people are in the airship They reported their names on the website, namely: Ticket Inspector Payton, Flying Man Zach, Late Angel Irene, Bloodbeard Stone Tower (Fosello Dwarf), Swimmer Monk, Sinner Stull, Red Fly Britney and Blackfly Omar.
Wearing goggles, the man in his thirties was Flying Man Zac. He visually measured the distance from the nearest boundary of Qiu Island to here, and then measured it using another hill as a coordinate. After walking a few dozen meters, he stamped his feet and said, "This is it."
The brown-haired man in heavy armor, about fifty years old, was the ticket inspector Payton. He distributed a few shovels he brought with him. Give it to your companions and dig up where Zack shows you. Within minutes, the sand was dug up, revealing an ancient stone slab buried beneath the sand. They didn't dig very deep, otherwise they wouldn't have stumbled upon the stone slab.
There were some ancient carvings on the stone slab. Ruola took a look at them and shook her head. This means that this stone tablet has nothing to do with the ancient Phoecanian kingdom. Jennifer, Alice and others were a little disappointed, but this did not hinder Tyson's interest in going to find out.
The stone slab was uncovered and thrown aside, revealing a two-meter-wide hole below. There are stone steps extending downward from the entrance. It does not look deep. You can see the bottom of the stone steps just by the sunlight. .
Everyone discussed it and forced Zach, Peyton and the other sand pirates to go down first to be pioneers. Toast Bear and Shakhan selected a dozen of the best to follow them to make sure that there was no one among them. It's dangerous, let others go.
Alice was not among the first batch of candidates to go down. She knew that the master did not want her to take risks. Although she was curious about what would be below, she still resisted her curiosity.
