Otherworldly Merchant

I was more curious to hear him say, "What happened to you? ”

“You'll see!” The lean monkey didn't answer me positively. He took two steps forward and stood still. He looked at us and said: “Let's just say that I'm only responsible for bringing them there. Whatever happens next, it's none of my business, you insist on going! ”

“Don't worry about that.” I nodded: “As long as you honestly take us to the killing platform, I will keep my word and hand over the antidote to set you free. ”

Thin monkeys still look at me a little distrustful, but they don't say anything.

He actually understood that even if I didn't count, he couldn't do anything to me. But there is still a glimmer of hope, if he dares to play any tricks, maybe we will kill him soon, this desert hill can't even see a person.

Besides, the poison that saved her wife was still on me.

The lean monkey continued to lead us forward, then very experientially broke a branch, waving left and right into the grass, biting his lips and making a strange noise.

As he has just said, the area is regarded by the locals as an ominous place, and almost no one dares to come, full of snakes beneath the mountains and bushes.

Visual and auditory organs of snakes are not very sensitive, but they can be extremely alert to ground vibrations and the shaking of grass trees. Snake blowing is not only a saying, but also contains a wealth of life experience. His deliberate tone is used to disperse poisonous mosquitoes hidden in the grass.

Those little bugs, though they look awesome, seem far from fearful, but once bitten, they are both painful and itchy. If they accidentally break their skin, they will become infected and crumble, and a large number of them are difficult to prevent.

The whistle blown by skinny monkeys is one of the unique skills of experienced tomb thieves called mosquito repellent whistles!

In addition to the sound that we can hear in our ears, the whistle also makes an inaudible infrasound wave, which is the same as an electronic mosquito repellent, within which mosquitoes can run.

As for the mosquito repellent whistle, I knew it for a long time, but I had never heard of it myself. It seems that this skinny monkey has a lot of experience in burglary graves, and it is in no way just as painstaking as the guy who was released earlier.

In fact, in addition to the horse slaughter platform that we are on our way to, I am also very interested in their third grandfather.

From what they both said, the third master should also be a tomb thief and a heartless master.

The two of them and the guy named Old Gen, who had worked with the Third Master, or who was simply one of his men, stole something for no reason, sold it privately, and then hid it separately.

But it's not easy for me to ask now, because he already thinks of me as a third master.

After crossing a hill full of weeds, a valley emerged in front of him as he passed through a low bush.

On both sides of the valley are steep peaks, and the middle of the valley is very narrow, about seven or eight metres wide, which is truly an easy place to defeat in the Cold Weapons Age.

It wasn't until recently that I realized that the valley was a bit evil.

There were weeds all the way, but the valley was bare and bare, not even a grass leaf could be seen.

There is an extremely heavy fog in the valley, which can only be seen three or five meters away.

“The tablet is right here, just walk straight and you'll see it in two or three hundred meters.” The skinny monkey stood in front of the valley, lifting his fingers. Looks like he's not going in there.

“Go on, talk to him when you see him.” Li Mazi pushed him.

Thin monkeys were helpless, but there was nothing they could do, so they had to move on.

As soon as he stepped into the fog, the temperature suddenly dropped and he could not feel the wind, but from time to time a cold stream of air swept by.

It's the wind!

There are plenty of dead souls here!

Hatsune and I glanced at each other and held on to the handle knife handle.

Not a few steps away, we found a messy footprint on the ground.

Unlike the hills on the outside, there is no grass in the valley, a thick layer of floating soil falls on the ground, and it is not known how many years it has been deposited and how thick it is.

“Has anyone been here?” The lean monkey looked at the footprints and shouted very surprised.

I squatted down to take a closer look, and from the sequential marks of stepping down, this was left by two separate batches of people.

The first wave has only two people, one big and one small side by side.

That slightly smaller footprint should have been left by a woman.

The second wave consists of eight people, in the form of a defensive team, with very small strides, depending on the circumstances, they are very cautious when travelling.

“It should be Lin's father and son.” Hatsumomo affirmed.

“Well, I suppose so.” I nodded and stood up and said, "But that's even stranger! From the footprints, they walked in on their own instead of being held hostage. Easy, no rush, no danger, chased here. ”

“Even though they were novel and deliberately ran into the wild mountains and even stumbled upon this valley, the situation here was extremely unusual, the ordinary people would never continue to step deep, but why were they not scared at all and walked straight in? Is that the purpose of their trip? For that tablet? ”

“That's even worse!” The first frowned: “The tablet is deep in the valley, and most of the locals haven't even seen it. How do they know? And as far as I know, Lin Changqing's son has been studying abroad since childhood and has not even come to mainland China. How could you not even use a guide and come straight here? ”

I thought: “Lin Changqing must have hidden a lot from you! Look.”

I pointed to the footprints on the ground: “These people traveled according to the array of Beidou Seven Stars. The seven people who made up the array had shallow footprints and consistent gait. At first glance, they were quite modest, and the footprints in the middle were relatively cluttered and landed in the end, so it was obvious that they were ordinary people. If I am correct, this should be Lin Changqing, otherwise he would never hire an ordinary person to come and protect him. ”

“In other words, he knew long ago what was happening to his son in this valley, and he knew long ago what they were going to face, just not to tell you the truth. ”

The lean monkey heard this place, looked at me, looked at it again, and suddenly realized: “So you're not from the Third Master? You... who the hell are you? ”

“It doesn't matter anymore.” I glanced at him and said: “I can let you go back now, but I advise you to stay with us honestly, otherwise you will not walk out of the valley, you will turn into a white bone, and eventually you will be scattered like dust under your feet! ”

The lean monkey stunned: “Don't worry about it, as long as you give me the antidote, I can go back myself. Last time I...”

“Last time, but not this time. Look!” I said finger after finger.

The footprints just stepped on the ground behind us are fading away.

The footprints that had originally fallen on the soil were deep, but as time flies by, seconds turn into millennia, all the footprints are fading away.

All four of us are missing footprints between us, just like we never even came!
