"Thank you, brother. Now I just want to have a good meal and a good night's sleep."

The fat brother looked touched. The captain of the guard called him brother, and he could hit the snake and call him big brother on the stick.

“Our special mutton soup and roast mutton in Golden City are great, brothers, you can try them.”

The captain of the guard smiled and said again, after confirming that Fat Brother and the others were not in danger, he was very enthusiastic.

"Okay! Compliment me, brother, I'm going to eat it now!"

Fat Brother smiled cheerfully and said goodbye to him, leading Lan Yue and the others into the city in a big way.

As soon as they entered the city, the three of them obviously felt that it was much cooler inside the city than outside.

Although it is still a bit hot, it is already bearable.

“Finally no more sweat!”

Fat Brother breathed a sigh of relief. In six days, he lost a lot of weight!

Golden City is not big, it is about the same size as Shuozhou City where Lan Yue was originally located. Compared to the desolation outside, there are quite a lot of people coming and going in the city.

Of course it is incomparable to an imperial city like Qionghua City, not even to Shuozhou City where Lan Yue was in the Shenwu Kingdom.

The buildings are all made of loess, generally short, and most of them are about two stories tall. They look like they have a special sense of simplicity and vicissitudes of life.

There were not many pedestrians walking on the street, and they were not dressed gorgeously. Many people were still wearing coarse cloths, which made Lan Yue feel as if she had suddenly traveled from the international metropolis of Qionghua to a very remote small village.

Their skin color was similar to that of the guards guarding the city outside. They were all dark-skinned, so they were particularly curious about Lan Yue and Shi Zhou, two people whose skin color was obviously different from theirs, and looked at them from time to time.

However, when Lan Yue and Shi Zhou looked back, he would smile kindly at them, not showing any embarrassment at seeing others being caught, and even point out to Lan Yue and the others where they could stay and eat.

"Yueyue, look over there."

Shi Zhou suddenly motioned Lan Yue to look towards the center of the city. A very huge dead tree stood high above the city.

The dead tree is very, very tall and strong. Even in the state of dead branches, its crown is still very large.

The different colors they saw in the desert before should be the color of this dead tree!

The gray-brown color unique to dead trees.

"If this were alive, it should be able to cover half of the city!"

Lan Yue sighed, if this tree were alive, it would be the largest tree she had ever seen.

"Well, let's go over and take a look."

Shi Zhou touched his chest. After entering the city, the throbbing in his chest became more and more obvious.

The goal of the giant tree was obvious. It was in the center of the Golden City. As they got closer, they were even more impressed by the hugeness of the tree.

They were still more than twenty meters away from the dead tree, as if they were standing in front of a mountain of trees.

The size of the bottom of this tree is actually larger than the building next to it.

After seeing the whole picture of the dead tree, Lan Yue realized that it was not a complete dead tree.

Because there is still a small branch of green leaves on the first branch of the dead tree.

But the whole dead tree only has this small branch.

There were many people from the Golden City surrounding the dead tree. Lan Yue looked over and found that the people here were all elderly people.

They looked sad and looked at the dead trees with sad eyes, and some even cried silently while stroking the dead trees.

Fat Brother and Lan Yue looked at each other, what's going on?

The fat brother stepped forward, saluted an old man on the edge, and asked: "Old man, what's wrong with you?"

The old man who was crying silently was stunned when he heard Fat Brother's voice. Then he frowned, glared at Fat Brother and shouted sharply: "Who are you? What do you want to do? Get away! Don't get close to our sacred tree!"

"

The old man's voice was so loud that all the old people who were grieving around the dead tree looked over.

Unlike the kind and enthusiastic people in other places in the city, when this group of old people saw someone they didn't know, their expressions changed, they stood up, and approached Fat Brother with unkind expressions, glaring at him angrily.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we are strangers who entered this place by mistake. No offense is intended. We will leave now."

Lan Yue hurriedly pulled Fatty back a few steps and apologized to them again and again.

They call this dead tree a sacred tree, and they must not allow outsiders to approach it. They may have inadvertently violated the taboos of the Golden City.

Hearing Lan Yue's words, these people turned their eyes over. Seeing Lan Yue's appearance, they were all stunned for a moment, but they did not come closer.

Lan Yue also pulled Fat Brother and left quickly.

Across the street from the dead tree was the Dahuang Inn, and Lan Yue and the others stayed here directly.

Water is in short supply here, but luckily Lan Yue brought a lot. After the three of them washed up in the room, they appeared in the lobby of the inn, ready to eat and listen to see if there was any useful information.

"Shi Zhou, are you sure where it is?"

Lan Yue asked in a low voice.

Shi Zhou looked a little dazed and nodded gently.

The place they mentioned was the location of the dead tree.

While they were talking, Fat Brother was already having a lively chat with the waiter at the inn. The damn weather was getting hotter and hotter, and one day, someone was going to shoot down three of the sun from the sky. From all over the world, all the way to the north, what?

Everybody can talk.

After a while, we became brothers. You call me eldest brother, and I call you second brother.

Even when the dish was served, the waiter at the restaurant gave them half an extra fan of grilled lamb chops that were longer than an elbow.

Lan Yue looked at Fat Brother silently, shouldn't this half of mutton chop be paid for by someone else's monthly salary?

Fatty smiled toothily, with two rows of white teeth standing out, and said with a smile: "The store belongs to him. Try it. He said grilled lamb chops are his father's specialty and they are very delicious."

As early as when this large plate of grilled lamb chops was served, Lan Yue was already salivating at the rich aroma and started to eat it right away.

"Hmm...it's fat and thin, the outer shell is crispy and fragrant, and the meat inside is plump, tender and juicy. You'll really want to burst into juices when you take a bite! It's really delicious!"

Lan Yue ate and praised, this lamb chop is really grilled to perfection.

The fat guy nodded, kept tearing a strip, and ate it. He gave a thumbs up to the waiter and praised loudly: "It's really well-deserved, it's delicious!"

When the waiter heard this, he also smiled with two rows of big white teeth.

"The holy tree is the guardian tree of their golden city. When he was born, only the leaves on the lower ten branches of the holy tree were left.

As the leaves become less and less, the environment here becomes more and more bad. The old people in the city say that when the leaves of the holy tree fall off, no one will be able to survive."

Fat Brother whispered the news he just got from chatting with the waiter in the shop.

Lan Yue was slightly startled and asked in a low voice: "When he was born, there were less than ten branches with green leaves? Did the leaves fall regularly?"

"Every month they have a dust storm here, and a leaf will fall off... Oops! There were less than ten green branches when he was born, so he is at least hundreds of years old! He actually gave it back to me
