So, is the deserted city
When Nan Yan heard this, she frowned. Isn't that a mountain? How did it become a city again
However, when he got closer and took a closer look, he found that there was indeed a city around the mountain.
In other words, there is a mountain in the center of that city.
The city was huge, and the surrounding walls were towering, but it could be seen that it was dilapidated, and there were even several huge gaps, and the towers were half-collapsed. It looked like a deserted earth city.
That is the deserted city.
At this time, there was a muffled thunder sound above their heads.
On the prairie, the sound of thunder can travel very far, even seems to be right under their feet, causing the earth to tremble slightly.
In an instant, heavy rain has poured down.
The rain on the prairie was very fierce. There was a silver-gray rain curtain in front of my eyes, making it almost impossible to see the surrounding situation clearly; the bean-sized raindrops hit the body, which was cold and painful, and even made people short .
There are puddles everywhere on the ground.
At this time, they galloped for a while, and finally ran under the tower of the deserted city.
This tall city tower, as Nanyan saw before, more than half collapsed, the city gate was wide open, half of which had already decayed into a pile of sawdust by the roadside, and the other half was hanging by A rotten nail held it up.
I am afraid that if I touch it, I will fall down at any time.
However, after entering the city gate, there was a cover above her head, and she was finally able to hide from the rain. Nan Yan turned over and got off the horse, her whole body was still trembling.
Monk hurried over to support her.
And his own hands were also cold.
Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why is the rain on the grassland so heavy?"
Monk's face turned pale, but he still had a smile on his face, and said, "It's always been like this. Are you okay?"
"I'm okay."
"That's good."
Everyone got off their horses one after another and barely took a rest.
Then, Nan Yan's eyes turned to the back of the tower.
This deserted city.
Behind the tower, you can see that there are many houses in this deserted city, arranged in a neat street market, just like ordinary cities.
The only difference is that these houses are earth houses, but they are completely deserted.
I don’t know how many years I haven’t lived there. The doors and windows of the houses have been broken, and many earth buildings have even collapsed, with the adobe peeling off, exposing the beams and columns of the wooden branches inside.
There was no one on the street either.
Only the heavy rain poured down, fell on the ground, and splashed muddy soup.
This is really a deserted city.
Nan Yan said softly: "Wizards and the others, are they in here?"
Munch said in a deep voice, "That's what he said in the letter."
"But it looks like there's no one here."
"It's hard to say for such a big city."
indeed.
The city is so big, they just glanced at the gate of the city.
Besides, the letter from the wizard also said that they retreated to this deserted city because they were attacked by people.
It's hard to guarantee that the person who attacked them is still around here.
Even, he was ready to attack them.
Moreover, Nan Yan looked at Monk's expression and found that his expression was more dignified. Obviously, he was still very cautious about this deserted city that seemed to be deserted.
Nan Yandao: "Is there any danger here?"
Monk didn't answer her directly, but bowed his head and said to her, "Don't be afraid."
"..."
Then, he turned his head and said, "Temur."
The big man came over immediately: "What is the emperor's order?"
"Send an order to let a group of people go into the city to see if there is anyone here. By the way, also look for traces of the wizard and his party."
"yes."
"Remember, be careful."
"clear."
That Temur immediately went down to spread the word, and soon, a group of people was assembled, but they didn't ride horses, but walked in directly.
Those who stayed continued to stand under the tower to shelter from the rain.
The other attendants found two clean big stones, spread clothes for Monk and Nan Yan to sit on, and lit a fire in front of them to dry the clothes.
However, there is still wind, mixed with rain, blowing on them constantly.
Nan Yan was trembling, at this moment, Monk changed seats with her and sat down.
It happened to block the wind and rain for her.
Nan Yan glanced at him.
At this time, the sky was already very dark, only the light of the fire shone on his face, and he could clearly see the natural curve of the corner of his mouth.
It looks very warm.
Nan Yan said: "Thank you."
Monk glanced at her, just smiled and didn't speak.
Nan Yan approached the fire with both hands, and bursts of warmth came over her. She breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her head to look outside the city gate. In the vast rain, some black figures suddenly appeared.
Nan Yan said: "Huh? Is anyone there?"
"who?"
When the people around heard it, they all turned their heads to look.
However, when I took a closer look, there was nothing but the dense silver-gray rain curtain in front of my eyes.
Nan Yandao: "Maybe, I misread it."
After a while, the rain gradually stopped, but the surrounding sky was completely dark.
And none of the people they sent out has returned.
More than an hour has passed.
Could it be that something happened
Nan Yan couldn't help but recall that she and Zhu Feng walked around on the Hulu Island in Xingluo Lake, and when they came back, none of the subordinates who were stationed there were gone.
This time, they stayed put.
But those who go out to explore the way, always don't come back.
Nan Yan's heart was faintly covered with a haze, and she said softly: "Nothing will happen to them, right?"
Monk glanced down at her.
At this time, Temur came over and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, we have to find a place to rest."
"..."
"It will be colder later."
On the grassland, there is a big difference in temperature between day and night. The sun is warm during the day, but at night, dripping water may turn into ice.
Monk thought for a while and said, "Well, let's gather all the troops, go into the city together, and find a place to stay."
"yes."
Termur quickly called everyone together.
Everyone extinguished the fire, held torches, and walked into the deserted city.
Monk and Nan Yan each led their own horses and walked side by side. Monk whispered to her again: "Be sure to follow me."
Nan Yan raised her head and glanced at him: "Yes."
A group of people walked slowly on the deserted and wide street.
The flames barely illuminated the dilapidated earthen houses around them, and there was no sound in the whole city, only the sound of their footsteps.
It was eerily quiet.
After a while, they had come to the end of a street, and there was a crossroad ahead.
Not sure which way to go.
At this moment, there was a loud noise behind him.
It was as if something had crashed to the ground.
