ghost market

The roar of the engine lingered endlessly in his ears, adding a bit of gloom to his already depressed mood.I pulled up the shade and looked out of the window. In my sight, there was only a hazy snow-white, boundless, which seemed to hide countless mysteries.The desert has long gone, but the wind and sand in my heart has not stopped, but intensified.

June 21st, the third day after we left Lava City.

Floating in the cockpit of an airplane at a certain point in the sky.

Two hours later, we will return to the long-awaited capital.In fact, more than a month is not too long, far from the level of "long absence".However, for me who has been on the verge of life and death for dozens of days, this time seems to be long enough, and I can't help but feel that things are right and people are wrong.

A lot of things have changed, in very different directions, for better or for worse.There are many reasons for these changes, either because of people or from things.However, the most important of these factors must be the lost Yin family holy card.At this moment, it is in Lan Wu's hands.

Five o'clock in the afternoon - I looked down at my watch.

At this time three days ago, it was the time when we escaped from the "City of Lava" deep underground and returned to the sea of ​​sand again.Such a coincidental time immediately revived the thoughts I had just suppressed, and the thread-like memories could not help but gradually become clear and entangled with the beating second hand...

In fact, the process of our leaving the "Lava City" that day was smooth beyond imagination, and it can be said that it has nothing to do with the word "escape".And this result is naturally due to the round "Sage's Stone" and Xiaoqian who came into contact with it.

Xiaoqian got a lot of information from that round stone.It's a pity that because the contact time was only a few seconds, the information she got was very scattered, and there were many things that she couldn't understand thoroughly in a short time.It can only be digested slowly in the future.Fortunately, she at least figured out from this information how to make those mural stone monsters stop vigilance and attack, which was obviously crucial to us at that time.

Everyone who got the information left the weird room immediately, and then under the guidance of Xiaoqian, they found something similar to an "elevator", and took it back to the maze at the bottom of the tower.Once we reached the maze, we immediately started searching.He tried his best to find the "control room" that Xiaoqian mentioned, in order to quickly solve the group of mural stone monsters wandering around and open the way back.

We found the room in the depths of the labyrinth not long after, and things went smoothly thereafter.We returned to the maze again, walked tremblingly in front of those stone monsters standing in place, and returned to the port when we first entered along the fish scale road.Afterwards, we left the ancient city on the "Batidol" and flew through the red lava.Not long after, it reappeared in the sand sea next to the Sand Pirate's lair.

The sandbar was extremely deserted at sunset, and the noise we made when we emerged from the sand surface was huge, which naturally alarmed the Elias warriors who were camping and resting, and soon their sight was filled with dense red robes.Seeing them, everyone's hearts were finally relieved.It seems that our guess didn't have too much deviation. Jiu'er's destruction really caused the group of alive and kicking skeleton monsters to perish, and finally avoided a chaos that could affect one party.

After careful questioning, we just found out.The scene when those skeleton monsters were destroyed was somewhat similar to the situation when Jiu'er died.Those skeleton monsters fell to the ground suddenly at a certain moment, and then.A layer of black powdery objects appeared around the dead bones scattered on the ground, like a layer of black ash.Not long after, the layer of black ash suddenly started to move and quickly spread on the sand, but before Elias' soldiers could react, the black matter disappeared without a trace.I don't know where it went.

Hearing the description of Elias warrior, I couldn't help but have some guesses about Jiu'er's true identity.The information Xiaoqian got from the "Sage's Stone" mentioned a creature that served as the guard of the ancient city, named "Leti".If barely translated into a language we can understand, the name means "marrow ant".This creature is a humanoid race created by the "Holy Clan" specifically for war.This reminds me of Shang's "Mongolian" tribe involuntarily.However, this race is different from Shang and the others. Their number is strictly limited, so there will not be too many.Also, members of this race are all female and cannot reproduce themselves.Once the control and nurturing of the holy race is lost, the race will eventually perish after the race is exhausted.I think this may also be a shackle deliberately set up to limit their number.

Obviously, such a race that needs to focus on limiting the number must have very powerful abilities.It's a pity that the information Xiaoqian has received is not complete. Regarding their abilities, she only knows a few words about "spiritual influence", and nothing else.Still, that's enough for me to make a guess.

I think Jiu'er should come from this race.According to the ant's way of life, she should be the so-called "ant queen", and the black powder that controls the skeleton monster or makes up the hair of the Jiu'er demon should be some kind of "ant" that we don't know.They are Jiu'er's subjects and her weapons.

Speaking of which, the strange affection we feel when we meet her is supposed to be part of her psychic abilities.In this regard, was it because Zhou Lingfeng brought her out because he was bewitched by her?If so, then Jiu'er's "emotion" for him is actually just a need for survival, not a real emotion.Thinking about it this way, Zhou Lingfeng, who gave his life for her, couldn't help but feel a little pitiful.However, if the mummy still beside Jiu'er in the end is Zhou Lingfeng, I think Jiu'er's feelings for him may not be completely false.Who knows.Ultimately, this is just a guess.

After the sun went down, we set off with the warriors of the Ilias tribe and returned to Shagu, their resident, to rest in the dark.The next day, the godfather woke up.However, his awakening did not bring me the expected joy, but instead plunged me into a kind of extreme confusion.

Although the godfather woke up, he was in a very strange state.This strangeness does not come from his body.The injuries on his body are recovering well and will not affect him.His strange state is on the spiritual level, to be precise, he has a state similar to autism.Since he woke up, the only thing he said was to call my name when he saw me, and then he didn't say a word again.No matter how I tried to communicate with him, he remained silent, just staring blankly ahead, as if immersed in a world that I couldn't understand at all.

This kind of situation makes me very anxious, but naturally I can't do anything about spiritual problems, so I can only try my best to communicate with him, even if it doesn't work at all.

I really wanted to know what caused my godfather's abnormal condition, so I forced myself to calm down and seriously think about what happened recently.There is no doubt that the first thing that comes to my mind must be the Bloody.But when these two words appeared in my mind, I suddenly realized that I seemed to have been ignoring an extremely important question - where did the bloody man go?

In fact, this is not the first time this question has arisen in my mind.However, none of the previous times had brought me such a strong impact like this time, nor did it make me feel as deeply scared as this time.

On the way back to the Ilias Tribe, we briefly exchanged our experiences in the Spiral Tower with each other.Through everyone's narration, I realized that what I was very worried about at the time finally happened. All the teams were attacked by "camouflage uniforms" in the tower, but the number of enemies they encountered was different.

Uncle Carter's team met one.However, just this one person caused the Elias soldier to lose an arm, and almost killed Uncle Carter. If Lan Wu hadn't sacrificed his life to save him at that time, Uncle Carter would have been in dire straits not enough.Yan Daojie's team was even more unlucky than Uncle Carter and the others. They encountered two "camouflage uniforms" when they were exploring the stairs.However, as the saying goes, fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Although they encountered more people than our two teams, the enemy did not take the kind of thing that can cause mutations.Therefore, although the surprise battle was fought hard, the three outstanding fighters finally wiped out the enemy without any risk.

I didn't think deeply when I heard these words. Of course, my physical condition at that time could not provide the energy for thinking.After calming down and thinking about it carefully, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.According to everyone's experience, the four "camouflage uniforms" that appeared on the bow with Jiu'er were all eliminated by us, which means that the blood gangsters never appeared in front of us from the beginning to the end, even until we left The same goes for the ancient city.Godfather was rescued by us, and Jiuer was eliminated by us.From this point of view, the purpose of this bloody man who has never shown his face is a bit too strange.In addition, there is another extremely important thing-the Holy Card.As the source of all incidents, the importance of this thing to blood disciples is self-evident.However, this blood gangster who never showed up left it in that room, so we got it back again.What is the reason for this almost impossible situation?

Thinking of this, I began to feel a strong fear seeping out from my bone marrow, which made me shudder.I want to stop the reasoning of my brain, but I can't stop my thoughts.Who is in the room with the Holy Tablet?The man in black made of Jiu'er's demon hair, Arslan, and... godfather Xing Zhong.

I raised my head abruptly, and the familiar face in my sight suddenly became a little strange.

A black haze quietly raged in my heart like poison.
