The stairs going down were very deep, estimated by Jiang Xiu to be over a hundred meters. In addition to the poor visibility inside, the group of people walked slowly, and it took them a full ten minutes before they went down to the ground.
The underground is very empty, completely different from the well-known underground tombs. It seems as if the darkness is endless and except for the aisle under their feet, the left and right sides are hollow, as if there are cliffs on both sides. The geometry is unknown. Even with the naked eye, you can't see the bottom.
"arrive?"
"This is the ancient desert city?"
The scene in front of them was exactly the same as the one in their information, but it was much more shocking than what they saw in the image. Who would have thought that there was such an underground ancient city deep in the ground? Moreover, this ancient city was built four hundred years ago. Floating on the ground.
"Find the water source first!"
Professor Xu and others were extremely thirsty, and most of them felt like they were about to turn into dried meat.
The ancient desert city was once a place of human habitation, so there must be a source of water. When they entered here, they could already feel that the humidity in the air was much higher than outside.
When the group crossed the ancient road and entered the ancient city, what they saw was a scene that shocked them even more. They saw houses and streets along the way. Huge statues of gods could be seen falling everywhere. All reveal ancient mysteries.
"Ah!" Qiu Yinru suddenly shouted.
Everyone was shocked.
"What's the matter?"
Qiu Yinru stood there trembling and said pitifully: "Yes, there are skeletons."
Only then did everyone notice that there was a skeleton with white bones lying at Qiu Yinru's feet. Judging from the shape and size of the skeleton, it should be human.
Professor Xu said: "Don't worry, it'll be fine..."
"It's not unusual for corpses to be found in underground cemeteries."
But as he walked inside, he saw more and more corpses. Jiang Xiu noticed a sad look on Xie Ting's face. She was more careful than anyone else, for fear of stepping on them.
Jiang Xiu asked softly: "Miss Xie, do you know who they are?"
Xie Ting shook her head: "No, I don't know..."
Since she is a descendant of the ancient desert city, the corpses here are most likely her ancestors who lived hundreds of years ago, and it makes sense that she would not bear to step on their corpses.
Jiang Xiu squatted down next to a corpse. The corpse was leaning against the wall, so Jiang Xiu could see at a glance that many parts of his throat and spine were black.
"They seemed to have died from poisoning."
Xie Ting said nothing.
Professor Xu from the far end said: "What Jiang Xiu said is not completely correct. We also checked the body. It should be that someone poisoned him first and then killed him."
"According to legend, the Ming Dynasty's army for more than four hundred years came here and received help. It's a pity..."
Judging from the current situation, the road they were traveling on was most likely a street at that time, but there were corpses all along the way. Judging from various traces, they should have encountered some kind of resistance and massacre. People slaughtered the city, not because of the transfer or the desert climate hiding it.
Walking through the first section of the street, there were at least more than 200 corpses on the ground. Some of the corpses were only a little over one meter tall. Based on their age, they should be children of five or six years old. They were also poisoned first and then killed.
"How cruel!" Qiu Yinru whispered.
Xie Ting lowered her head and said nothing.
There are also some precious pendants on these corpses, including pearls, agates, and diamonds. In addition to their age, they are expensive. It is not a problem to sell a bunch of millions, or even tens of millions. At the same time, It also has high archaeological value, including some surrounding daily utensils.
Jiang Xiu glanced away coldly and saw someone taking those things: "I advise you not to move. I will lift the curse for you. I will use the technique of concealing it from the sky. In the eyes of the curser, you are already dead. If so, If you take something from here, the spell caster will inevitably notice that you are still alive. What will happen? Do you still need me to explain it?"
After saying that, Shen Dewen quickly hung up the pearl necklace on his hand.
"Ah, ah..."
The sudden silence of the desert underground city resounded with heartbreaking screams. Immediately, everyone saw a fire suddenly bursting out of a person's body. It was Sangbao. In the blink of an eye, the whole person was burned to ashes. .
"The Curse of the Vulcan..."
"It's the curse of the God of Fire..."
This scene is exactly the same as the previous people who were burned to death.
"how so?"
Professor Xu, Qiu Yinru and others quickly opened their wrists and took a look. At this glance, their faces suddenly changed, and the flames that disappeared on their wrists reappeared.
Jiang Xiu frowned: "What did he just do?"
No one answered.
Xie Ting said in a cold tone: "She must be coveting the treasure here and want to keep it for herself."
Professor Xu said: "Jiang Xiu, what should we do now? The curse has happened again. How about you cast the spell again?" The students nearby also looked at Jiang Xiu pleadingly.
Jiang Xiu said: "It is a trick of deception and can only be used once."
"ah?"
Everyone was speechless.
"What should we do?"
Jiang Xiu also glanced at his wrist. The flames on his wrist also reappeared, and his brows suddenly wrinkled. They were cast under the same spell. If one person revealed his secret, everyone would be affected.
Xie Ting came with a somewhat frustrated voice: "Mr. Jiang, I have it on my hand too."
Li Chengzhi asked: "Is there anything else Mr. Jiang can do?"
Jiang Xiu said: "I have no way..." Of course there is a way, but none of them can do it, that is, to break through ten thousand with strength, to directly destroy the curse with a power a hundred times more powerful than the curse, but who can do it, Jiang Xiu is now They are all just demigods, and this is a curse from God. He muttered, "Because this curse originated from this ancient desert city. There should be a way to remove the curse in this ancient desert city."
Regarding the curse, archaeologists have certainly studied it, and there is indeed such a saying. The method to break the curse depends on why it started and where it ended.
Professor Xu said: "Then let's go into the city and look around."
At this time, everyone became anxious and walked inside faster.
The wrath of the yin and yang fire gods will crawl to the hell on the other side, and fall forever in another world.
"Look, everyone, where is this place?"
"Well, like a school?"
Their attention was attracted because there were writings on the walls here, and the corpses on the ground were very concentrated. Judging from the size of the corpses, they were all children.
They were all poisoned first and then killed.
"What words are these?"
The handwriting on it has not faded. Jiang Xiu heard the reputation, but he couldn't understand the handwriting. It should be the font created by his tribe in the ancient desert city. Judging from the font, it was somewhat similar to the handwriting on the longevity stone talisman.
"Hey, what's in the bulging pocket on this kid? Why is it still moving?" A student noticed something like a money bag hanging around the waist of a corpse on the ground.
"Don't open it!" Xie Ting screamed in horror.
But it was too late, the student had already opened the bag, and flying insects like fireflies flew out.
"Run away!"
Xie Ting shouted, turned around and ran away first, spreading her long legs and running at full speed.
Before everyone could react, they heard a buzzing sound like a mosquito, and thousands of flying insects like fireflies rushed out of the bag, instantly surrounding the person who opened the bag. Oh, he was in pain. He screamed, and his whole body was covered with flaming flying insects, twisting and turning. From a distance, it looked like a red monster, which was creepy.
"what is that?"
Xie Ting said as she ran away: "That's a voodoo raised by a girl in the ancient desert city to protect herself..."
Just now, when Xie Ting saw the kid's purse-like bag, she recognized it as a bag of worms, and knew that the worms in it were worms. If they were still moving, it meant they were still alive. It can be imagined that more than 400 years have passed and they have multiplied. how many.
Turning his head to look around, he saw dots of red light, densely packed together, chasing them closely with a buzzing sound.
"I'm chasing you, hurry up!"
The people running under their feet were not as fast as they were flying in the sky, especially this group of people who were already dying. They gritted their teeth and ran forward. Someone shouted: "There is a palace here, let's go in quickly."
A group of people rushed in and blocked the door.
"ah!"
There were screams of terror from inside. Behind the palace gate, there was actually an empty abyss of war. There was only one path for opportunity. Without looking at the people at the feet, he fell straight into it.
