Chapter 700: Trapped to death here?
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan subconsciously glanced around and said, "Why is it still so dark?"
She has been on the grassland for a few days and has become accustomed to the time here.
On the grassland, the sunrise is much earlier than in Yan Country.
Besides, it is midsummer now. There should be light by now. Why is it that they have been staying there for so long and the sky is still pitch black, as if there is a black curtain covering them?
After she said this, Monk and Arslan also felt something.
Everyone stood up and looked around.
The entire deserted city was as silent as ever. Apart from the breathing sounds of the people here and the sound of burning flames, there was not even the sound of the wind.
Arslan said: "Something is wrong!"
Nan Yan turned and looked at him: "What's wrong?"
"It should be daybreak by now!"
"That--"
"Someone is keeping us from seeing the dawn."
"What?"
Nan Yan was dumbfounded. She looked at him and then immediately looked at Monk. However, she saw that Monk's usually smiling face now showed a solemn expression and he nodded slightly.
What's the meaning?
Is there anyone who can make people unable to see the dawn?
Isn't that manipulating the sun's rising and setting?
How is that possible?!
Seeing her bewildered expression, Monk seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and hurriedly explained softly, "It's not what you think. This is just a forbidden technique."
"Forbidden technique?"
Another forbidden technique?
When Nan Yan heard these two words, she frowned, but she didn't notice that Zhu Feng next to her also frowned.
Monk said, "It's just like last night, when the wizard cast a forbidden spell on this courtyard, causing everyone who entered to be possessed and unable to move."
“…”
"This forbidden technique—"
When he said this, he gasped, turned around and looked around, his voice slightly heavy as he said, "It's much more powerful than the wizard's forbidden technique."
You'll know it as soon as you hear it.
One is to make anyone who enters the courtyard unconscious.
The other is to prevent people in this courtyard from seeing the sun rise and being unaware of the passage of time.
The latter one is simply terrible!
At this moment, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Monk's eyes, and he hurriedly said: "No, we have to leave quickly!"
"how?"
"Someone wants to trap us here!"
"What?!"
Arslan, who was standing by, was also stunned. He turned to look at him, only to see Monk had already ordered his men: "Bring the horses here immediately!"
Soon, attendants from both sides came over with their horses, and everyone mounted their horses immediately.
Nan Yan was directly carried by Zhu Feng onto his horse.
Monk gripped the reins tightly with both hands and said, "We have to get out of this city quickly. The person who cast the forbidden spell is keeping us from seeing the dawn. They must be trying to trap us here. However, after a while, we'll definitely feel that person has another trick up their sleeve!"
Nan Yan was also confused at this time: "What do you mean?"
"Anyway, let's go!"
Nan Yan turned around and looked at Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty."
However, she noticed that his expression was much more serious than usual. Nan Yan thought that a person with Zhu Feng's personality would sneer at such magic, but she didn't expect that he would actually take her on the horse.
The group quickly rushed out of the courtyard and sped away along the way they came.
All around, it was still pitch black.
It was even darker than when they came last night. It seemed as if there were thick curtains on both sides, making it almost impossible for them to see the earthen walls on both sides of the road.
I can only keep spurring my horse forward.
However, after running for a while, everyone felt something was wrong.
They came here yesterday, leading their horses, and the time was about the same as now. But now, everyone was riding back on horseback, and they had not even seen the city gate.
Nan Yan vaguely felt that the situation around them seemed a little familiar.
Even when she ran past a place, she vaguely saw some fire inside, but because she ran too fast, it flashed by and she had no time to see it clearly.
Ran for a while.
Monk, who was at the front, stopped.
Everyone stopped one after another and saw him stop in front of an earthen gate, looking behind the gate.
That was a spacious courtyard with an earthen building standing in the center. There were also some bonfires burning in the courtyard.
This is the courtyard they just left!
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
They actually ran back!
What’s going on!?
Someone nearby whispered, "Your Majesty, are we lost?"
Monk's expression was much more serious than before. When he heard someone say to run forward quickly, he waved his hand as he left the place: "No."
Zhu Feng held Nan Yan in his arms and slowly rode forward: "What do you mean?"
Monk looked back at him and said in a deep voice, "We are trapped."
“…”
"We are trapped here."
“…”
"The person who used the forbidden technique prevented us from seeing the dawn. This was just a means to an end. His real purpose was to use this technique under the cover of darkness—"
“…”
"We are trapped in this deserted city with no way out."
Some people around gasped.
Can't find a way out? Wouldn't that mean I'm trapped here to death?
Nan Yan asked, "Was it the same group of people who stopped the wizards who did it?"
Monk nodded.
Nan Yan asked, "Then what is their purpose?"
"Probably because of..." He stopped talking and just looked at Nan Yan solemnly.
This one glance explains everything.
Probably, it was to prevent them from determining Nan Yan's bloodline.
When she thought of this, Nan Yan's face turned even paler. Her body had just been weakening, and when Zhu Feng carried her onto the horse's back and galloped all the way, her face became even uglier.
Who on earth was so determined to stop her from determining her own bloodline?
It’s just a matter of returning to one’s roots, why would anyone want to stop it?
Could it be that my life experience is related to someone else's important affairs?
At this moment, Zhu Feng snorted coldly from behind, saying, "I hate you Neng people the most."
“…”
"These things should be banned."
Monk smiled and said, "This is a forbidden technique. It is also prohibited in our country."
“…”
"However, the desires of the human heart cannot be stopped."
That's true.
Sometimes, even though people know that something is harmful, if it is beneficial to them temporarily, they will definitely not be able to control their desire.
Nan Yan frowned and said, "Then, is there any way to break this forbidden technique?"
Monk was silent for a moment, then said, "If the wizard is still alive, perhaps, there is still a possibility."
“…”
"But now—"
Obviously, they may have only heard of forbidden techniques and have never come into contact with them.
Nan Yan's heart sank a little.
In this case, won’t they really be trapped to death in here?
