Chapter 716: The Royal Forest Army
At this moment, my breathing was almost stagnant, and all I could hear was the sound of my heart beating.
The living corpse has not been rotten for thousands of years, and its head is harder than a stone!
Suddenly, I remembered the horrifying scene I saw when I first entered the square. I really couldn't imagine what these people had experienced before they died.
Perhaps it has something to do with the secret of Loulan's disappearance? But what does Loulan's secret have to do with me?
The curse on me will not be eliminated for a day, and I will not be at ease for a day. The original intention of entering the Taklamakan Desert is also to find clues to the Queen Mother Palace in the West and thus find a way to relieve the curse.
But luck makes people feel bad, but before the clues arrived, I was trapped in the remains of Loulan...
“Ha…hehe…”
The living dead man, like a mummy, suddenly opened his mouth, his chest slightly undulating, and a hoarse sound came from his throat.
Is it laughing?
Looking at his stiff and raised mouth, such a strange thought suddenly appeared in my mind.
If someone tells me now that this is a living person, but he only got a special disease and became like this, I believe it.
An unreasonable horror lingered in my heart, which made me even give up on the idea of shooting.
The skull of this thing is too hard, and the bullet may not be able to penetrate its head. Even if it is shot through, it may not be able to die thoroughly, although it is a dead person.
Suddenly, it stood up and led the team of living dead people to go further and further away.
Just leaving like this? I always felt that things were not that simple. In an instant, a strong sense of anxiety prompted me to come back to my senses and lean against the high wall. Only then did I feel the tension dissipate a little.
Looking at the palace in front of you, it is majestic and surrounded by high walls. The only place you can go out is the mahogany door directly opposite the palace.
The people who lived here should be people like concubines, but they should have become living dead, right?
While I was thinking this way, I looked around. I didn't plan to open the palace door because I didn't want to provoke those strange things anymore.
I need to determine a direction as soon as possible, because as far as I know, ancient imperial cities were generally complicated and I don’t want to get lost here.
Moreover, over the past few days, I have only replenished the few water and less foods, but that little food and water are simply not enough to maintain the body's consumption.
In this way, I can't last long.
As soon as I stopped, I could feel the feeling of weakness from the depths of my body. So far, I have not found any trace of the Fiery Monkey, and I don’t know where he went.
Da da da da da!
Gunshot! The crisp sound made me feel energetic all of a sudden, and what surprised me even more was that the source of this sound was not very far from me!
I wish I could break out immediately now, but this idea was quickly dispelled by me.
Unless, I want to see the living dead man smiling at me again.
Looking out, the empty courtyard was a bit bleak. Apart from a few stone tables and benches, there was only a rockery close to the high wall.
And it is this rockery more than two meters high that gives me hope.
I carefully climbed up the rockery and was less than one meter away from the top of the high wall. I could stand firmly on the top of the high wall with just one grab and one pull. The top of the thirty-cm thick high wall could withstand my weight and I could walk on it with confidence.
Even if the living dead people noticed me, they could not do anything to me at a distance of several meters.
But what I didn't expect was that when I walked in the direction where the gunfire came, the continuous gunfire suddenly stopped and the engine was turned off.
Could it be that the Fire Monkey's bullets were exhausted? Or, he had been...
"Oh……"
A hoarse voice suddenly came from under the wall, which sounded a little familiar.
Who is it?
boom!
Suddenly, I felt like something was hitting, and the whole wall was shaking.
I quickly squatted down, and while stabilizing the center of gravity, I held the flashlight and looked under the wall.
In an instant, I saw a dead blue-gray face!
Its left eyeball was hanging in front of its eye socket, shaking, and a smile was still on the corner of its mouth. This face was simply too familiar, it was the living dead man just now.
Just like the previous scene, it took its own team of living dead and walked away again after watching me quietly for a while.
I keenly realized that it was in the same direction as me.
Maybe, I'll encounter it again?
I took a deep breath and always felt that this thing seemed to be waiting for me here on purpose, but I also felt it was impossible.
Anyway, wait until I find the Fire Monkey before thinking about these things.
The team of Living Dead was walking the same direction as me, but I could only take a step slower than it and follow the Living Dead team far away.
But the more I left, the more I felt the doubts in my heart.
There are ruins around, and even the palaces on both sides are in ruins.
this……
I'm a little confused.
Even the houses on the edge of the ancient city are quite complete, not to mention the dignified city, the capital of a country, how could it look like this ruin?
This is really incredible.
The flashlight flickered and it seemed that the battery was not high, but fortunately my sight was not affected.
I vaguely saw something flashing and reflecting on the cracked bluestone floor.
I thought about it, then jumped from the high wall, picked up the shining and reflective things, and there was still a trace of heat when I touched it.
Bullet shell? It seems that I am heading in the wrong direction. The Fire Monkey should be nearby, at least, he hasn't walked far yet.
It was also at this time that I kept providing me with a bright flashlight and went out.
Damn it! It's just that there's no power at this time!
Suddenly, there was darkness in my sight, and I couldn't see my five fingers, and I could only barely distinguish the direction based on my feelings.
And at this time, footsteps came from a distance.
Just listening to the sound, my heart was cold. It must be those living dead people, and the number was not ordinary!
I wanted to turn around and run, but then I gave up when I thought about it. I am no different from a blind man now. Where can I run even if I run?
Like a headless fly, running around in this strange imperial city, I am afraid that you will only die faster.
Just as I sat down slowly against the high wall behind me, a dazzling light suddenly shone on my eyes.
I could only subconsciously cover my eyes with my hands, and I could barely see a figure through my fingers.
Fire...Fire Monkey?
I can't see that person's face clearly, but it can be distinguished from the outline and clothing. It's indeed a fire monkey, that's right.
I relaxed and felt relieved, and stood up with a smile, slowly walking towards him, "It's really great that you're fine."
"Um……"
The fire monkey smiled reluctantly and turned his head away. There was something obviously wrong.
At first, I didn't care, but after I took a few steps forward, I found out the reason!
There were about hundreds of living dead people wearing golden armor standing behind him!
Chapter completed!
