Chapter 695 Wizard
In such a deserted city that seemed to be deserted, a loud noise suddenly sounded, which was enough to scare many people to death.
Nan Yan's calves trembled.
She turned around. The torch beside her was burning, and the flames shone on her pale face. She whispered, "What is that?"
Monk frowned.
Then he said in a deep voice: "The city gate collapsed."
"ah?"
Nan Yan was stunned and immediately remembered the half-crumbling city gate they saw when they entered the city just now.
It suddenly collapsed at this time?
How could it be such a coincidence?
Monk looked towards the city gate in silence, but it was already pitch black. He said, "Maybe someone is coming."
Nan Yan gasped.
"Really?"
"It's possible. Otherwise, the city gate wouldn't collapse for no reason."
"Then who is coming?"
"I don't know about that."
Upon hearing what he said, Nan Yan subconsciously held her breath, and the people around her also became a little nervous.
Monk said, "Put out the fire."
Soon, everyone put out the torches.
Immediately, everything went dark before my eyes. I could only barely make out the surrounding earthen walls and the outlines of the houses. Everything else was almost invisible.
Nan Yan knew that he was doing this to protect everyone's safety.
After all, it was unclear whether the person coming was a friend or foe. Perhaps, he was the one who attacked the wizard before.
What if they are attacked again?
Monk said, "Everyone, please move forward carefully and don't make any noise."
"yes……"
Everyone obeyed the order, almost holding their breath, and walked forward cautiously. Nan Yan felt that the surroundings were getting colder and colder, and her fingers seemed to be frozen.
At this moment, a warm hand reached out and held her hand.
Nan Yan was startled and tried to pull her hand back, but she heard Monk whisper in her ear, "Don't get separated from me."
“…”
It turned out that he was worried that it was pitch black and they would get lost.
Nan Yan had no choice but to let him hold her hand.
Instead of turning, they continued walking forward.
In this city, we go deeper and deeper.
At this moment, a very tall, black shadow appeared in the vast night ahead. From a distance, it looked like a earthen building.
More importantly, they seemed to see fire ahead.
It disappeared in a flash.
Nan Yan immediately whispered, "There's someone up ahead!"
"Um."
Monk responded, then turned back and whispered to Temur beside him, "Give the order and tell everyone to prepare and be careful."
"yes."
The people around him all felt depressed.
Nan Yan even heard some people draw their swords from their sheaths. In the darkness of the night, she could feel the chill emanating from the sharp weapons.
Then they started walking towards the earth building.
As we got closer, we discovered that there were two large courtyards in front and behind the earth building, which were considered the front and back yards. They were surrounded by earthen walls more than one person high. However, like the walls of this deserted city, they were also in ruins.
Many places have collapsed.
However, it is still enough to keep people out.
After walking around the earth wall for most of the way, they finally saw a door. Everyone walked over carefully and took a look inside.
At one glance, everyone was stunned.
The spacious courtyard inside was actually full of people!
Suddenly, everyone was so frightened that they all drew their swords, and some people even held their breath. When they were about to rush in and do something big, they suddenly felt something was wrong.
These people didn't move at all.
They stood there silently, one person every few steps, as if they were standing in a queue, quietly waiting for something.
At first glance, it looks like a tombstone in the wasteland.
Seeing this scene, everyone got goosebumps.
There are so many people in a deserted city, but they are motionless, like puppets. This scene is really like a nightmare.
However, I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Nan Yan smelled a scent of blood.
Because it had just rained, there were still many puddles on the ground and the smell of earth was very strong. I wondered if my sense of smell was wrong.
At this moment, Temur suddenly said: "Those seem to be our people!"
What? !
Nan Yan was startled. His shout startled the people around him as well. They immediately walked in and got closer to those people to take a look—
really!
"They are really ours!"
Monk's brows furrowed.
How could this be? How could all the people sent into the city to investigate have ended up in this place, each with their eyes closed, standing there motionless.
What exactly happened?
Seeing this scene, Nan Yan was also frightened. She sniffed and felt that the bloody smell she had just smelled seemed to be stronger.
The strong smell of blood rushed into the nose, making people feel a little dizzy.
My head was also swelling from time to time, and I could hear the voices of people around me, sometimes far away, sometimes near.
At this time, Monk also smelled it. He covered his nose with his hand and said, "What a strong smell of blood."
Everyone smelled it too.
At this moment, several guards suddenly felt weak in the arms and legs and fell to the ground.
"What's going on?"
Someone is asking.
However, before they could react, more and more people fell to the ground. Nan Yan forced herself to stay alert. Seeing this, she hurriedly looked at Monk, only to see that he also frowned and grabbed Nan Yan's hand: "Be careful!"
In an instant, everyone around them fell down.
Only Temur was left. He was already half-kneeling on the ground, struggling and saying to Monk: "Your Majesty, run--"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted!
What's going on?
Nan Yan and Monk were both stunned, looking at the people lying on the ground around them. At this moment, a little light suddenly appeared in the earthen building in front of the yard.
A voice came from inside -
"emperor?"
The voice was old and weak, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time.
Upon hearing the voice, Monk's eyes widened.
He said, "Wizard?!"
As he spoke, he rushed into the earth building.
Nan Yan had just reached into her arms to touch the dagger that Zhu Feng had given her, ready to fight for her life at any time, but when she heard Monk's voice, she was stunned.
Is it a wizard?
Is the wizard here?
What's going on around here?
She didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly followed Monk into the earth building.
As soon as she entered, she smelled a strong smell of blood, but this time, with the help of the light in front, she finally saw clearly that there was a large pool of blood on the ground, extending from the outside to the inside of the earthen building.
Nan Yan held her breath and looked forward following the blood trail.
