Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 54 Extreme Fear
The palace is at least five or sixty feet long, and the slightly yellowed walls exude a quaint atmosphere. As the bronze chain rattles, it rises up little by little. The most eye-catching thing is the city in the middle. There is a statue of a woman above the door.

The woman on this statue is very delicate, wearing a veil, even if it is carved out of stone, it is difficult to hide her alluring beauty, she looks down, like a proud queen inspecting her subjects...

After the palace was fully raised, the city gate slowly opened, and the wide road inside and the neat houses on both sides of the road could be vaguely seen.

"This... is the Ancient Night Kingdom?" It took me a long time to ask such a sentence.

Lao Yan is not much better than me, and no one expected that the Ancient Eternal Night Kingdom would appear in front of everyone in this way.

He swallowed, and then said: "It should be just the entrance!"

"Yu Chengze has gone in, hurry up and follow." The blind man pressed the Damo machete tightly, and we recovered from the shock, only to see that Yu Chengze had already flashed in, and the palace was slowly descending, and The city gate also slowly closed towards the middle.

Lao Yan was in a hurry, and he didn't need the blind man to urge him any more, he quickly rushed to the palace.We followed behind and exerted all our strength. The distance of tens of meters only took a few seconds.

When we arrived, there was only one gap left in the city gate for one person to enter. We didn't dare to delay at all, and quickly got in.

We had just entered and hadn't stood still when we heard a bang, and the city gate was closed.

I looked up and looked at the top, and asked a little strangely: "Why is the top black?"

Lao Yan glanced at it, and explained that it should have sunk again, and the black one should be the top of the palace that he saw just now.

"This pattern is also strange." I nodded.

It was not dark in the palace, but the light seemed to come from the houses on both sides of the road.I went over to take a look, and saw that these houses were inlaid with a large number of moonstones, emitting a light blue light, reflecting the entire palace like a dream.

It has to be said that this Ancient Eternal Night Kingdom is really rich and powerful...

Lao Yan also followed, touched the moonstone and sighed: That's right.

"Huh?" I asked back.

While touching the moonstone, Lao Yan looked at the wide road leading to nowhere: "According to the legend, the reason why this small country in the Western Regions is called the ancient country of Changye is because the subjects here live in darkness all year round. Their light comes from Because of the great moonlight, it seems that these moonstones may be referred to now."

I glanced at Lao Yan and expressed deep doubts about the words 'legendary record'.According to what he said, the ancient kingdom of Changye only emerged five years ago, and there is very little information out there. Where did he hear this legend from?
Seeing that I didn't believe it, Lao Yan didn't explain, but just let us follow.

"Where does this road lead to?" I asked.

Old Yandao: "It should lead to the main hall. The place we are in now is just the entrance to the ancient kingdom of Changye, which is also equivalent to the gate of the city."

"Yu Chengze is gone."

The blind man suddenly said something, and we realized that we hadn't seen Yu Chengze since we entered the palace.It stands to reason that he came in not much earlier than us, if he is on this road, there is no reason why we can't see him.

I looked at the rooms on both sides and asked if he would have entered one of them?
"No, I just tried it, and these rooms can't be opened." The poisonous snake, who had been silent since entering, suddenly said.

I didn't quite believe it, so I pushed a door next to it myself, only to find that these doors really couldn't be opened.And it looks like it should be that no one was thinking about living in it when it was built, because although things like doors were built, these doors were indeed sealed.

"What can these houses be built for?" I am a little puzzled, this is considered a big taboo in Feng Shui, only the yin house will seal the door.

Lao Yan laughed strangely twice and said that it might be for the dead.

I was horrified by his smile, and when I thought that there might be people who had died for thousands of years in these rooms, I quickly withdrew my hand.

Being interrupted by such a distraction, we don't care where Yu Chengze has gone. Anyway, we have already arrived in the ancient country, so we don't have to stay with him, just be careful not to fall into his way again.

Walking along the road, I just feel that this ancient country that has been buried for thousands of years does not seem to be as scary as I imagined. Apart from the sound of our footsteps on the road, I have not seen any weird things along the way.

Lao Yan told me not to take it lightly. If his deduction is correct, the monsters we encountered along the way are guarding the ancient kingdom of Long Night. Even the guardians are so terrifying. It is impossible that there is no weirdness in this ancient kingdom!
"I know." I nodded seriously.

"There seems to be something there." After walking for about ten minutes, I saw something lying not far from the road. It looked like a person, but logically speaking, there shouldn't be a person here.

When Lao Yan heard the words, he immediately looked over, and then quickened his pace.When we got closer, we realized that it was indeed a human being, not just one, there were seven of them, and they were all dead.

"They also have that kind of slimy thing on their bodies." I pointed to the corpses. I don't know if it's because they haven't been exposed to the sun. The mucus on these corpses hasn't dried completely, which makes them look even more disgusting.

These corpses are not completely shriveled like the two in the desert. The flesh and blood on their bodies is relatively full, but their heads are only skulls. It seems that the blind man is right, their heads are indeed was eaten.

"The other team of brothers?" Blind Man asked.

Lao Yan nodded first, then shook his head, saying something was wrong...

I asked him what was wrong, and he pointed to the corpses and said, "The number is wrong. There are eight pioneers in this team. We have already encountered two corpses outside. Why are there seven here?"

I looked at the corpse, and then found something weird: "Did you find that these two corpses seem to be exactly the same?"

These two corpses are in the middle of the seven corpses, so you can't tell if you don't look carefully, but if you look carefully, you will find that the clothes on the two corpses are exactly the same.

Although the clothes worn by the team are not bad, everyone has different habits, and there are some other things on the clothes.The clothes on these two corpses are exactly the same length even to the waistband of their trousers, and what is different from the other corpses is that they both have a pen pinned in the pocket of their jacket, and the orientation of the caps of the two pens are exactly the same.

"Poisonous snake, go and have a look!" Lao Yan pouted at the poisonous snake.

The poisonous snake responded, put on gloves, and went to inspect the heads of the two corpses. After the inspection, he took a few deep breaths, and then slowly said: "If my judgment is not wrong, the two skulls belong to the same person. .”

"Lao Yan, do you have twins in your team?" I asked with my last hope, my palms sweating.

But before Lao Yan could speak, the poisonous snake had already shattered my hopes: "Impossible, even twins can't have exactly the same head."

After him, Lao Yan gave me a blow: "No."

So, one of the two corpses came out of nowhere...

We glanced at each other, and we both saw in each other's eyes that we couldn't believe it, what was it that popped up suddenly, what was the purpose of it, why did we die here together?

Lao Yan remained silent for a long time before squatting down and turning over the two corpses, and then said: "The poisonous snake is right, the two corpses are the same person."

Then he pointed to the arms of the two corpses and said: "This is a young man named Mao Mao under me. There is a scar on his arm, which was left when he fought fiercely with others before."

Sure enough, there was an identical scar on the arms of the two corpses.If the examination of the head may be wrong, after all, there is not enough equipment here, and it is only judged by the experience of poisonous snakes; but these two scars will not lie, even if two people were injured by the same thing, the scars left are impossible exactly the same.

"What the hell is this?" I was hoarse, almost speechless.

Because this is beyond my cognition, even though I have studied the "Star Official Secrets" for so long, I have never seen such a strange existence from it!
