Grave Robber: Beginnings Fusion Hydra Cypress

After the storm on the lake subsided, everyone gathered their spirits and headed toward the ancient city in the distance along the lake shore.

The lake is in the west of the basin, and the ancient city is in the east. You have to go around the entire lake to reach your destination. The journey is about thirty kilometers.

The moon and stars were sparse in the sky, and there was silence in the basin. Apart from the footsteps of everyone, there was almost no other sound.

Not long after walking, Jack discovered a problem.

"Mr. Ji, you said that this basin is under Longding and is a place full of vitality, but why are there no birds and beasts here?"

Apart from the fish and striped dragons in the lake, they saw no other animals along the way, which was obviously not normal.

The fat man said immediately.

"It's the middle of the night now, maybe the animals are sleeping."

Jack shook his head.

"There are many animals in nature that are nocturnal. In such a large basin, which is a place rich in life, there is not even one diurnal animal. It is obviously impossible!"

Wuxie thought for a while and said.

"This is the base camp of the Demon Kingdom. The evil behavior of those people must be related to them."

No one could think of any other reasons, and they could only attribute it to the people from the Demon Country.

At this time, Hu Bayi asked curiously.

"Mr. Ji, the message left by the ghost mother said that this city stays in the gap of time. What does this mean?"

Ji Changsheng was thinking about something with his head down. After hearing the question, he raised his head and smiled.

"You'll know when we get there later."

Everyone had long been accustomed to his inscrutable nature, so they did not continue to ask questions. They were just full of curiosity about the mysterious ancient city.

The only thing that makes people feel relieved is that the climate in this basin is much warmer than that in Shenluogou, with the temperature around 20 degrees.

The moonlight is bright and the breeze is gentle.

More than two hours later, everyone had arrived at the foot of the ancient city.

The ancient city is located on a hillside, surrounded by densely packed houses, like a huge beehive.

Looking up, I saw brightly lit lights in the ancient city, and smoke coming out of many houses, which looked very lifelike.

But no sound could be heard in the city. Except for the occasional sound of wind, there was only dead silence.

A Xiang's face turned pale and she hid behind the crowd. Shirley Yang hurriedly took her hand and comforted her.

"Don't be afraid, it's just an empty city without people."

Although she said this, her heart was beating because the scene in front of her was so weird.

Standing on the city gate in front of them, there was a black flag hanging in the wind, with a totem in the shape of an eyeball embroidered on the flag, which should be the eye of the snake god.

There are hundreds of lamp stands on the tower, and the copper plates on the lamp stands are burning with blazing flames, illuminating the area near the city gate.

The city gate was wide open, but not a single person could be seen.

Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but say.

"There is only one Zhuge Liang and two boys missing on the city gate, which is the real version of the empty city strategy."

The fat man looked at it carefully and said with doubts on his face.

"Judging from the size of the copper plate, the lamp oil inside can only last for three hours. Who keeps changing the lamp oil to keep the lamp burning?"

Hu Bayi walked to the city gate and saw a notice posted at the city gate. It was written in ancient Tibetan and he didn't recognize a single word.

Tiebang Lama stepped forward, took a look, and said.

"It's an announcement from the priest of the Demon Kingdom, about a major sacrifice."

As he said that, he reached out and touched the notice. His fingers were covered with black ink, which was clearly written just now!

Are there really people from the Demon Country still alive in this city? ?

Everyone looked at this strange scene and couldn't help but panic.

Ji Changsheng smiled nonchalantly and walked towards the city.

"Why are you standing there, let's go in and take a look."

If it weren't for the godly man like him, others might not have the guts to rush in.

After everyone entered the city gate, they saw a wide street that led directly to the highest point of the hillside, with many forked roads crisscrossing the road.

There are low-rise houses on both sides of the spider web-like road.

These houses are similar to the cave dwellings in Shaanxi. They are built on the mountains, but they are huge in number, with tens of thousands of them.

Most of the houses are only one or two stories high, with a few having three or four stories.

Walking on the ancient streets, people can see that the exterior walls of these houses are all new, and the walls have not fallen off, nor have moss grown on them.

Every street and every house is very clean and spotless, as if it had just been swept, and there is no garbage in sight.

Moreover, lights were on in every house, but there was no one there. Under the shadow of lights and candles swaying in the wind, the atmosphere became even weirder.

After walking for a while, the fat man couldn't bear it anymore and said.

"Mr. Ji, I think there must be people alive in this city, but they are all hiding, right?"

Before Ji Changsheng could answer, Wuxie shook his head.

"No, I don't think so."

The fat man pointed at the houses and asked.

"Then how do you explain these lights, and such clean houses and streets?"

Wuxie replied seriously.

"It's just because it's so clean that it doesn't look like a place where living people have been. Even if it's cleaned every day, it won't be so clean!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the houses.

"Any house will have some signs of age after being exposed to wind and sun, but these houses look like they have just been built, without even a trace!"

"It feels like... fake to me!"

The fat man was stunned and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Fake? Are you saying these are all illusions?"

As he said, he walked forward and punched the wall hard.

With one punch, the wall suddenly broke, leaving a deep dent, and the loess inside could be clearly seen. This is a real house, not an illusion!

The fat man turned around and said.

"See, this is not an illusion, nor a movie prop, it is real. How do you explain this?"

Wuxie frowned and shook his head.

"I don't know, anyway, it doesn't feel real to me..."

At this moment, everyone suddenly smelled a meaty aroma, which came from the house behind the wall. It was the smell of boiled beef.

Chuyi swallowed his saliva and immediately felt a little hungry.

"It's yak meat, someone is cooking!"

Hearing this, the fat man immediately picked up the gun, kicked the door open, and rushed in.

"Whether it's a human or a ghost, don't hide, come out for me!"

Everyone followed him in and saw that the yard was empty, and not even a hair could be seen.

Following the aroma, they came to the kitchen in the inner room, where they saw some chopped beef and a fresh beef thigh on the chopping board.

A large pot on the stove was steaming and the aroma was fragrant.

The fat man opened the lid of the pot and saw a pot of fragrant beef.

Everyone had been hungry for a long time, but no one dared to eat it.

Lie walked forward without a care, reached out and picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Well, delicious!"
