Chapter 335 Underground Palace
Shao Xuan met two groups of patrolling outside in the Baishi Desert area where Baishi City is located. However, looking at their absent-mindedness, I think we know the situation in Baishi City now. Moreover, according to the information Shao Xuan learned, the patrol outside in Baishi City in the past was much stricter than now, and the patrolling people would not be so depressed now. ~,
However, it can be understood.
For slaves, Baishi City is now a very critical time. The death of the big slave owner means that their biggest master is gone. Who will take over and who will become their next master is not fixed yet, and they are full of concerns about their future development.
To easily avoid these absent-minded guards, Shao Xuan also paid attention to some of the creatures around him, such as birds, small beasts, etc., which may be the other "eye" of the people of Baishi City. Who knows if anyone will enslave insects in Baishi City? Be careful.
After coming to a large rock, the rock looked like a mushroom, with a large umbrella-like top above it. This is because during a sandstorm, large particles of sand scrape closer to the ground, slowly grinding away the rocks near the ground, which is what they are now.
Hiding below, Shao Xuan didn't have to worry about being discovered by the birds above. As night was approaching, there were no patrolers around him. When he walked forward, he was almost at Baishi City. Shao Xuan planned to take a rest first.
After drinking some water and recovering his strength, Shao Xuan was thinking about the plan to enter Baishi City in his mind. As he was thinking, he frowned. He kept thinking about how to enter Baishi City, but the premise was that the sword was in Baishi City, but what if the sword was not there? What would he do if he had sneaked into the city?
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan cut off a section of the reins untied from the camel's body. He planned to use this section of rope to tell where Dao Yu was. I don't know if it will be successful.
After the divination was completed, Shao Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the knot on his hand, read the conclusion above, distinguished the direction according to the conclusion above, drew his fingers on the ground, and finally determined the direction shown. However, this direction was not the direction of Baishicheng.
No matter what, Shao Xuan planned to go over and take a look.
Fortunately, I made a fortune before sneaking into Baishi City, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
After changing the direction, Shao Xuan quickly passed by towards the direction shown in the conclusion. Without the help of Zhazha, Shao Xuan's speed in the desert slowed down, but it was not slow either.
As he walked, Shao Xuan found that the Baishi Desert area had already left. At such a critical moment in Baishi City, the sword was not in the city for a moment. Why did he run far away?
Shao Xuan continued to move forward in that direction, and only took a short rest at night, and then continued to search until he came to a place.
It looks no different from other places in the desert. Looking around, there are all high and low sand dunes. Even in a relatively flat place, it looks like a lake that is blown by the wind, "shimmering".
The wind is slightly stronger here and the dust is flying.
Shao Xuan looked at a sand dune like a mountain in front of him, and then looked around. He didn't see anything suspicious, but the conclusion shows that it should be around him. Could it be that he still has to continue walking forward?
Not just because of the conclusion, Shao Xuan also had a very strange feeling, always thinking that there should be something here.
Keep walking forward. Climbing up the mountain-like sand dunes makes me feel even more strange.
In Shao Xuan's mind, the "shell" wrapped in the fire spark flashed. Such changes made Shao Xuan stop,
Just when Shao Xuan was confused, he suddenly heard a light sound. Although it was the sound of the surrounding wind blowing sand. After Shao Xuan improved, his ear strength also increased, and he could tell other sounds from the noises. It was obviously not the sound of sand blowing.
He quickly lay on the ground and pulled the hood up. Shao Xuan looked in the direction where the sound came.
The sound seemed very light in the sand and dust, like the sound of a stone moving, and was cautious, as if the person who made the sound was alert to something.
Shao Xuan lay there patiently, staring at the direction where the sound came.
The surrounding sand blew on Shao Xuan's body and quickly covered a layer.
Soon, Shao Xuan discovered that a gap was opened on the ground between the two sand dunes in front, and the sand was sinking.
The gap opened became wider and wider. It was not until when someone could be allowed to go out that Shao Xuan saw someone jump out quickly and looked around with caution. He waved to the bottom.
Shao Xuan saw that he moved a person out of the open gap, and someone seemed to be helping with the delivery underground. However, when the ignorant person was handed out, the gap underground was closed.
The man who came out looked around at the beginning, then dragged the ignorant person to the distance.
Shao Xuan thought for a while and walked along the ridgeline with the obstruction of the sand ridge. Although he could not follow closely, he could at least see where the person was walking.
The man walked a distance, walked around a hill, then digged the sand on the ground with his hands, dug out a pit, and pushed the person in. Before burying it, he stripped all the clothes on the person who pushed the pit, and compared it on himself, looking as if he wanted to keep it for himself.
Put away the stripped clothes and fill the pits with sand around them. The man looked around and then returned.
Shao Xuan watched the man return to the place he came out, and pushed away the covered sand and buckled the stone slab down.
The slab moved away, and the man said something to the person below, and went down the crack of the opening.
The stone slab closed again, and everything returned to its original state. The wind quickly drove the sand, covering the place without any abnormalities.
Shao Xuan recorded the place and came to the place where the man had just dug the pit and buried people. He pushed away the sand and saw the buried person.
Before, this person was dragged face down, and Shao Xuan couldn't see his appearance clearly, so he could only tell that he was a person. But now, Shao Xuan found that not only had many ulcers and necrosis on his face, but also his body, which looked scary, and there were traces of bleeding in his nostrils and other areas.
Shao Xuan could not see how the injury on this man was caused, and there was no tattoo on his face. If there were no ulcers, he would be a tall and muscular person. In the desert, even a low-level slave would be a good laborer.
What is below that place? Shao Xuan was very curious. If Dao Yu was here, what is the purpose?
Shao Xuan lurked around and waited, looking for opportunities.
Around noon the next day, the weather was hot in the desert. Shao Xuan was still lying behind the sand ridge. His body was covered with a layer of sand. He did not care about the heat of the sand. Shao Xuan stared at the other side and heard a little more movement.
Soon, a gap was opened in that place, and another person came out. It was not the one that Shao Xuan had seen last night, but he did the same thing.
After the other party came out, he dragged his person to run away, intending to dig a hole and bury people. Shao Xuan's sudden appearance scared him. Before he could make a sound, he was strangled and his arms were removed.
