Chapter 294: The Guardian Beast of the Ancient West Night Country
Green flames burned along Zhou Sheng's arm, instantly igniting Zhou Sheng.
However, as the tomb-guarding fire on Saint Zhou burned, the green flames were directly swallowed up.
Zhou Sheng crushed the skull of the corpse and pinched out a green translucent worm between his fingers.
After the insect came out, it surged and was pinched off by Zhou Sheng's two fingers.
Green flames dripped to the ground and quickly dissipated.
"I didn't expect there to be fire phosphorus here." Zhou Sheng whispered.
Fire phosphorus is a special kind of insect. They eat phosphorus for a living and usually appear in dark and dry places.
Once exposed to sunlight, they will spontaneously ignite.
After Zhou Sheng took off the jade pendant, he walked out.
This place has been occupied by army ants, and everything as far as you can see is there.
Zhou Sheng glanced around and showed no interest in continuing to explore. He jumped out and covered the palace again.
"Do you know the way to the ancient country of Xiye?" Zhou Sheng asked.
There is a map of the ancient Xiye Kingdom in the palace, but Zhou Sheng is too lazy to look for it slowly.
The ancestors of the Eight Gates have been here and have a map of the ancient Xiye Kingdom.
There is also Moraka, she is a dead warrior.
"have."
Zhang Xinshan and Moraka, show where their maps are.
Their map routes are different, but the final location is the same.
"Calculate, whichever way is the shortest, take that way." Zhou Sheng said to them.
There are many ways to go to the Xiye Ancient Kingdom. In addition to the map in their hands, there is another way, which is to go through the secret passage of the palace.
But that road is too dangerous.
The palace is now full of army ants. They will be killed if they enter, and there are also traps in the secret passages.
"Take my path. My path is the path taken by dead soldiers. It is safer." Moraka said.
"My line is probably a bit dangerous," Zhang Xinshan said.
His map shows the road opened by the Nine Gates, so there may be any dangers.
"Okay." Zhou Sheng took a careful look at Moraka's map, wrote it down, then rode on horseback and continued walking along the road.
The ancient kingdom of Xiye is not far from the Xiye ruins, only about 60 kilometers away.
Of course, as long as there are no accidents on the way.
Everyone followed Zhou Sheng and continued to move forward in the desert.
Along the way, there are some ruins, but they are all in dilapidated condition.
This is the depths of the desert, and no one will survive here.
Everyone walked together for more than two hours, then stopped to rest and continued walking.
Mainly because Mrs. Huo is old and needs to rest after walking for a while.
"Master Huo, if your health is not good, just ask Huo Yujie to come." Jie Jiu said from the side.
Mrs. Huo glared at him and said in a bad voice: "This time it is the leader of the Nine...Eight Sects. Why is she, a junior, participating blindly?"
"But your body?"
"Although I am weak, I will not hinder you." Mrs. Huo said directly.
Jie Jiu heard the words and said nothing.
Zhou Sheng rode in front and said nothing.
"Meow, Zhou Sheng, did you hear that?" Liuli woke up suddenly and called out.
"I heard it!" After Zhou Sheng said this, he clamped his legs under the horse's belly.
"drive!"
The Flame King jumped up high, and a huge monster emerged from the bottom of the desert.
The huge tail wanted to attack Zhou Sheng, but Zhou Sheng dodged it.
After landing, Zhou Sheng looked at the huge monster.
It looks like a poisonous scorpion, with a long and barbed tail, two pairs of large pincers, and the most important thing is that its face is very weird.
It has six pairs of eyes, each pair of eyes is different, and under the six pairs of eyes, there is a human face.
On its back, there are also the totems and palms of the ancient Xiye Kingdom.
People in the ancient Xiye Kingdom believed that palms were gifts from gods.
With money, they can work and eat.
"Mumba!" Moraka exclaimed.
"What the hell is Mumba?" Jie Jiu was frightened.
"The guardian beast of the Western Night Kingdom, Mumba." Moraka explained.
Mumba's eight legs are similar to human legs, but the colors are different.
"Kaka!"
Mumba shouted and rushed towards the crowded place.
"Spread out!" Zhang Xinshan shouted and took out his sword to resist.
Everyone fled in all directions, and Mengba's huge tail pierced Zhang Xinshan.
"bite……"
Zhang Xinshan took a few steps back, but fortunately he blocked it.
But Mumba also had two pliers, and he clamped his two pliers on Zhang Xinshan's head.
Hong Erye and Tieguai Li took action instantly, one used a copper-skinned wooden stick and the other used a cane to block Mumba's pliers.
Zhou Sheng rushed in with a sword and cut off Mumba's tail with one sword.
Zhang Xinshan jumped over and jumped on Mengba's back, stabbing him with a knife.
"clang!"
Mumba's back was harder than steel and couldn't be inserted at all.
"Its back is very hard, and only its belly has a soft spot." Moraka shouted.
Zhou Sheng jumped on Mengba's back with his sword, circulated his energy, and slashed him down with one strike.
"Bang!"
Mumba's head fell to the ground.
After Mumba was dealt with, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except Moraka, who was still nervous.
"Mumba is a group animal." Moraka said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's sigh of relief suddenly became tense.
Group animals!
These four words were like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.
A group animal means more than one mumba.
"Rumble..."
In the distance, dust was flying, and many Mumba rushed over waving large pliers.
Their bodies are larger, and their shells are like gold, shining in the sun.
Everyone looked at Mumba in the distance, and then at Mumba whose head was beheaded.
Co-author, they killed only the young Mumba.
"Run!" Zhou Sheng shouted.
There were so many Mumba, and to be honest, he was scared.
Without any hesitation, everyone turned around and ran away.
"Go the other way!"
Zhou Sheng rode in front and led everyone to take the road originally opened by the Nine Gates.
This road is full of Mumba and cannot be walked on.
Although Mumba's legs are thick, his running speed is not fast.
Everyone ran with all their strength and soon escaped Mumba's pursuit.
After Mengba lost the chase, he cut up the body of Mengba who was hacked to death by Zhou Sheng and ate it. Then he went under the sand and continued to hibernate.
Staying still can greatly reduce physical exertion.
After Zhou Sheng led the people to another road, everyone sat down to rest.
"That's outrageous."
"The country has been destroyed in Xiye, and there are still so many Mumba." Wu Dabai couldn't help but say.
"The Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Night, if that country was weaker, it would have been annexed long ago." Zhang Xinshan said.
At that time, the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions were a whole, but later they gradually separated.
Later it was annexed.
The strong devour the weak.
Hou Xiye's national power is the weakest, and its numbers are small, but its territory is large.
If it were not for the protection of Mumba, it would have been annexed by other countries long ago.
"I hope there is no danger on this road." Zhang Xinshan only hopes that his ancestors will not leave any danger behind.
Otherwise, it will be troublesome.
"There is danger." Zhou Sheng squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the dark figure in front of him.
