clever!
Seeing her tell her the truth.
There was even a hint of questioning in his words.
Not only was Chen Yulou not angry, he looked at the woman in front of him with admiration in his eyes.
Being able to calm down oneself in such a short period of time is not something that ordinary people can do.
You can quickly sort everything out in the midst of chaos.
It has already explained her ability.
No wonder I was in the village before.
Every time Wutuo mentioned her, he would express deep regret.
In his eyes, Oona had outstanding talent and quick thinking. Even among the Turkic tribes who advocated bravery, they could not hide her brilliance.
It's a pity that their father and daughter have a common problem.
Too confident.
It is also easier than ordinary people to get into trouble.
I was imprisoned in that ghost place for more than ten years.
Anyone else would have gone crazy.
But Oona's performance along the way is definitely worthy of Wutuo's evaluation.
“That’s right.”
Chen Yulou smiled faintly.
Didn’t deny it.
The ancient city of Jingjue is located under the holy mountain. If you want to enter the ghost cave, you must pass through the ancient city.
Seeing him so calm, Oona didn't know how to deal with it. The night wind blowing behind her lifted her long hair. Under the firelight, her brown eyes changed several times.
Finally sighed.
“Do you know why the Black Desert is called the land abandoned by the gods?”
“It’s not the sandstorm or the snowstorm, but because of the ancient city.”
“Even though Even Bo Zhen, who is the most brave and skilled in fighting, cannot guarantee that he will be able to escape alive..."
Oona said calmly.
Trying to get the group to change their minds.
But everyone around the campfire remained as calm as still water, with no fear in their expressions.
The same is true for Hua Ling and Red Girl beside them.
"You...are you not afraid?"
Oona's eyes widened, "It will kill people."
"I don't know if Miss Oona has ever heard of a Chinese idiom, which is called eating because of choking. It means that when a person is unlucky, he may choke to death when eating, but You can’t stop eating because of this, right?”
Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled.
Of all the people present, which one has not experienced several life-and-death dangers?
In troubled times, human life is as worthless as grass.
Often life is the least valuable thing.
It is like a weed that cannot be burned out.
"But..."
Hearing this, Oona was even more unbelievable and wanted to open her mouth to say something else.
But Chen Yulou didn’t want to worry too much about this matter.
"Life and death matter, Miss Oona, there is no need to persuade her."
"Chen just wants to ask one thing."
"What?"
See him accept it He smiled, and his calm but profound eyes fell on himself.
For a moment, Oona felt as if she was being penetrated. She subconsciously put her thoughts away and asked seriously.
"Dharma drum sacred tree, is it brought from the ancient city?"
Boom——
A simple sentence.
There seemed to be thunder in Oona's ears, and the emotions she had finally suppressed surged up again.
As early as in the tribe, he had already understood everything?
How could it be?
Oona's face was full of disbelief.
She knew about the fact that Patriarch Wutuo was chatting with them that day.
But only in a few short sentences.
It can be calculated to this step.
He really has never practiced shamanism or divination?
“It seems that Chen has guessed it again.”
Although Oona fell silent and did not respond, her reaction at the moment said everything.
No wonder the shaman's drums, magic staffs, waist bells and magic knives have the ability to suppress demons and ghosts, exorcise evil spirits and break evil spirits.
The Kunlun Sacred Tree is the legendary building tree that reaches the sky.
It grows on the top of the Kunlun Mountains and connects the sky and the earth. It is impervious to wind and rain, water and fire, and thunder and lightning.
So all kinds of things.
The major religions in the Western Region are almost crazy looking for sacred trees as magical weapons.
The most important thing is.
If the bones are placed in the sacred tree, they will remain immortal for thousands of years.
So much so that Qin Shihuang kept sending people deep into Kunlun.
One is to visit the legendary Queen Mother of the West, and the other is to secretly search for the Kunlun Sacred Tree.
Think of this.
Chen Yulou glanced behind Oona subconsciously.
After washing herself, she put the wooden box on her back again.
There is a bronze mirror in it.
Now it seems that he has not escaped his own speculation.
It is definitely a former generation wizard of the Uighur tribe, brought out from the ancient city of Jingjue, as evidenced by the eyeball behind the mirror.
“You are also here for the sacred tree?”
Oona tightly grasped the rope of the wooden box and bit her lip.
"The sacred tree is probably one of them."
Hearing this.
Everyone couldn't help but smile at each other.
They are in the business of fighting each other. Now that they know that an ancient city that rules thirty-six countries has appeared, how can they let it go so easily?
What's more, the real purpose of this trip is the ghost cave.
It's just that this is too shocking for Oona, so she can't say it clearly for the time being.
Seeing this, Oona was even more shocked.
The wizards of their family in the past generations have to go through a lot of hardships and nine deaths in order to obtain a piece of the sacred tree. They don't dare to expect too much, and they can only succeed several times.
The appetites of these people in front of me are really amazing.
I’m afraid they are planning to evacuate the entire ancient city.
"As the old saying goes, both parties benefit from cooperation, but both parties suffer from separation. Miss Oona, are you willing to join forces with Chen?"
"When the time comes, you can take the sacred tree for yourself, and we will never stop you!"
< br>If it were the past.
Even without Oona, when we get here, the ancient city is within reach.
But I saw the appearance of Agama and ghost ants.
But it disrupted his plan.
It is foreseeable that there must have been big changes in the ancient city, otherwise the guardian spirit of the ghost cave should not appear here.
And she had personally entered the ancient city.
The advantages of joining forces definitely outweigh the disadvantages!
Just like when Xiling and moving mountains stole Pingshan together.
"Really... wait, let me think about it first."
Listening to the conditions he gave, Oona subconsciously wanted to agree.
The sacred tree is definitely a temptation that their shamans cannot refuse.
But how easy is it to get it just by talking about it?
Ata has gone deep into the Black Desert more than ten times in his life, but the number of times he has actually entered the ancient city is only a handful. He once even suffered serious and incurable injuries because of a palm-long sacred tree.
Even he didn't dare to say that it would be possible.
They are new here and need to be guided by themselves. How can they be so confident?
“It seems that Miss Oona doesn’t trust us enough.”
Looking at her expression, Chen Yulou understood immediately.
If you think about it, you obviously don’t have a clear understanding of their strength.
"Old foreigner!"
With a raised brow, Chen Yulou glanced at the two figures beside him.
In terms of proficiency in archery, there are not many people in the world who can surpass the old foreigner.
“Shopkeeper Chen!”
Almost as soon as the words fell.
The old foreigner who was originally sitting cross-legged on the sand suddenly stood up, as if he had expected something. His figure was upright and his eyes were as bright as fire.
"Let Miss Oona see it."
"Okay!"
The old foreigner grinned and took off the Jiaoshe bow that was heavily entangled in black cloth from behind. . Gently peel off the cloth strip.
Only then did Oona see that it was actually a large bow that was as tall as half a person, with a golden body. There was a cold light on the bow, the strings were crystal clear, and there was a faint mist flowing.
"This..."
Oona was frightened when she saw it.
I don’t know why, it is obviously a dead thing, but the Jiaoshe Bow gives it a feeling like a ferocious beast slowly waking up and staring at itself coldly from the darkness.
Although they call themselves Uighurs, they are descendants of Turks.
Famous for his ability to control bows, horses and strings.
Once swept through all the grassland tribes.
Although he lives in seclusion on the side of Yuhai now, hunting is something engraved in his bones.
They girls are okay.
Every boy will basically be exposed to bows and horses since he was a child. When he reaches adulthood at the age of fourteen, he has to hunt his own prey with his own hands before he has passed the baptism.
She has been in purgatory for many years and is not very familiar with the younger people in the village.
Clan Chief Danwutuo was once the best archer in the tribe.
However, even he can only fire a ten-stone bow, and it is impossible to go up.
Now that the old foreigner's big bow has not even set an arrow, a majestic momentum has gathered, suppressing the cold wind that swept over the sand dunes behind him.
Thirty stones?
Or... fifty stones?
Oona's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on her face.
The old foreigner was very low-key on weekdays. Except for walking with him to lead the way a few times, he hardly had much interaction with him.
Buzz——
She was still secretly frightened.
A buzzing sound like a gust of wind and rain had already resounded in the night.
Oona subconsciously raised her eyes and saw at a glance that the old foreigner had taken out a long arrow at some point. It was more than one meter long. It was as sharp as a knife and could stab people blindly.
But even with that kind of strong bow, the old foreigner did not show too much difficulty. He just raised his breath and the bowstring was instantly pulled to almost the full moon. Then with a whoosh, the long arrow shot out of the air.
It was like a falling star.
Oona's heart trembled, her eyes widened, trying to follow the trace of the long arrow.
But except for the buzzing that resounded throughout the world and could not be covered up by the strong wind, she saw almost nothing.
Boom——
But.
The next moment.
Her eyes suddenly widened.
I saw a sand dune surrounded by the spiers of the ancient city exploding out of thin air, and yellow sand rose all over the sky, as if there was a rainstorm of sand and gravel.
The sand dunes that were originally several meters high were directly flattened to the ground by that arrow!
"Oh my god..."
Oona covered her lips, but her slightly shaking shoulders revealed her inner emotions at the moment.
The power of an arrow can make you fight!
She had followed Atta to practice shamanism since she was a child, but she could not do this even with the power of gods.
"How?"
Have seen this scene.
Chen Yulou then looked at Oona and smiled lightly.
Among their group, the old foreigner is not the strongest, but at least he is at the limit of martial arts. If he were to take action, Oona would probably doubt her life.
Trapping the air, controlling water, spiritual consciousness, and swordsmanship.
Even in ancient times, when Taoism was manifested in the world, great monks in the Golden Core Realm were already regarded as land gods in the eyes of ordinary people.
“Can this arrow kill demons?”
Oona actually already had the answer in her heart.
But she couldn't help but ask.
"Slay demons, eliminate demons, suppress evil, and destroy evil, all with one arrow!"
In the past, Chen Yulou would not have dared to be so sure.
But the Dragon Shooting Bow was made by Li Shuguo himself. It was blended with more than a dozen kinds of secret gold materials, smelted in hundreds of feet of earth fire for countless hours, and blended with the essence and blood of the dragon, with dragon tendons as the string.
Unless it is the snake god, none of the monsters in the ancient city can withstand an arrow from the dragon's bow.
"This..."
Hearing his affirmative answer.
The last worry in Oona's heart disappeared.
"Shopkeeper Chen, I can take you into the city!"
"Okay, then it's a deal!"
Hearing this, Chen Yulou was also convinced. .
Next time.
The group sat around the campfire and discussed the next route in detail.
Oona also told her every detail as she promised.
According to her, she did go there once with her father Azhiya. The ancient city was not far from the two black magnetic mountains, but like Xiye and Gumozhou, it had been mostly buried by yellow sand.
Want to find the exact entrance to the city.
You must first find a leaning black stone tower. There is a temple under the tower. That is the key to entering the city.
Hearing this, Chen Yulou was 90% sure.
The wizards of the Uighur tribe have indeed entered the queen's tomb under the ancient city. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to know about the secret passage under the temple.
After describing what she saw.
The Partridge Whistle did not waste any more time and took out the ancient atlas of the Zagrama clan.
Corresponds exactly to what Oona saw.
Although thousands of years have passed, the landform of the Holy Mountain has undergone earth-shaking changes.
But it is generally comparable.
The more they talked, the more entranced they became, and they didn’t even bother to eat.
It’s better to go get it with the kidnapper.
The night outside is getting darker, and the violent wind and snowstorm between the sky and the earth are getting stronger, but it can't stop the enthusiasm of the group at all.
After chatting for several hours, snowflakes were falling all around, floating on their necks, bringing with them a biting chill, and they finally woke up as if they were dreaming.
Collapse repeated additions, a more detailed road map.
Return to your respective tents to rest.
As expected, the snowstorm lasted for three full days.
On the fourth day.
The world that was originally filled with yellow sand has become completely white.
Thick white snow covers the ancient city.
It makes it look a little more mysterious.
However, the heavy snowfall did not stop everyone, and the team set off as scheduled.
In the past few days, they didn't just stay in the camp to take shelter from the wind. The three hundred or so men couldn't stay idle at all. They dug through the underground of Gumo Prefecture and took away several boxes of gold and jade artifacts.
Rare things are more valuable.
Antiquities with a strong Western style.
Before this, it was rarely circulated in the antique market.
What can be predicted is that when they return, select a batch of high-quality gold and jade artifacts, and release the news through the Jinlou, it will inevitably cause an extremely shocking sensation.
Chen Yulou was not willing to carry too many bright weapons at first.
I am worried that this will hinder the team’s schedule.
However, he still underestimated the power of desert camels. They only needed a basin of bean cake mixed with salt and a little water, and they could tirelessly walk all day and night in the vast desert.
Since that night when I opened my heart and talked by candlelight.
Oona now has no worries at all.
I want to find the ancient city as soon as possible.
Her only wish is to find a piece of sacred wood and create a complete set of shamanic tools for herself.
She once thought it was out of reach, but now following Chen Yulou and his party, she finally saw hope. How could she not let her dream so much?
The team walked through the vast yellow sand.
It went on and on, almost six days later.
Early in the morning, when everyone walked out of the temporary camp, after experiencing storms and continuous snow and fog, the black desert finally ushered in the first real sunshine.
It is not a gray sky with nothing to see.
But it was cloudless, as clear as water, and even the long-lost sunshine emerged from the lead clouds.
No more yellow sand and falling snow blocking the view.
The desert is extremely empty, visible for thousands of miles, and surprisingly clean.
A few young guys were full of energy and excitedly climbed up a sand dune outside the valley. They originally just wanted to see the different desert wonders under the blue sky.
But a few people have just climbed to the top of the mountain.
Soon someone discovered something, exclaimed, jumped for joy, and then shouted excitedly.
“Mountains!”
“Two black mountains.”
"Quick, go tell the boss that we have found those two sacred mountains!" (End of Chapter)
