Zi Chen took out the dried meat and gave it to Wang Yiling and Zilan to taste. It tasted really good.
I also gave a few pieces to the chef so that everyone could have a taste.
Finally, I returned to the room and opened the compartment in the oil paper bag. Inside was a thin map.
Material unknown.
In the evening, Zi Chen decided to launch jerky.
At the same time, I would like to thank Lao Gao.
The two sat alone drinking together, and Lao Gao told them the truth.
More than a year ago, Lao Chen had been helping the Liu family, and relying on the resources provided by the Liu family, he broke through and became a spirit detective.
After a storm swept through the desert, a small town emerged from under the wind and sand, and Lao Chen and a group of people strayed into it.
That town was very strange, and everyone who entered it died mysteriously. Old Chen originally thought that he would definitely die, but he ran out in confusion and got a map.
He was going to give the map to the Liu family and maybe get a bigger reward, but he found that other people who came out first went to find the Liu family and never came back.
You can guess the reason at a glance!
Lao Chen knew that his time was short, so he turned back from the desert and handed the map to Lao Gao, without even informing his family.
Because he knew very well that the Liu family would definitely kill them all.
Anyway, they will all die in the end, and they must not take advantage of the Liu family.
On the day Lao Chen entered the desert, he made an impromptu decision and hoped that Zi Chen could protect his wife and children.
Zi Chen said: "So, this is a deal?"
Lao Gao shook his head, "No. Lao Chen didn't know Boss Chen's strength. He was just desperate and wanted to give his family a chance. Before he left, he told me that no matter whether his wife and children were saved or not, he asked me to give the map to Chen.
boss."
"Actually, it was me who was impulsive and caused Boss Chen trouble. I shouldn't have looked for Lao Chen's body in the first place. I got the map the second time I went out, but the matter didn't calm down, so I didn't dare to take it out and waited until now."
After Lao Gao recovered from his injury, he insisted on going to the desert once.
Zi Chen did not agree with the implication.
As long as he protects Lao Chen's wife and children, he will naturally confront the Liu family.
"What's in here?"
Zi Chen looked at the patterns on the map.
"I don't know. In fact, Lao Chen doesn't know either, but the Liu family seems to want it very much."
The whole story is not difficult to understand.
After discovering that the others had disappeared, Lao Chen expected that he would die.
But Lao Chen is also a ruthless person who would rather have his jade broken than live in ruins. He even didn't even tell his wife and children about this matter.
This is where Lao Chen is smart. If the Liu family insists on finding someone, even if his family hides in the ends of the earth, they will still be found and killed.
Zi Chen has only been to the desert once, and he didn't go deep into it. He was not familiar with the environment there, so he couldn't understand the map no matter how he looked at it.
Will there be mantras and mantras recorded here?
This thought passed away in a flash.
There are many secrets in the endless desert, including the legendary mantra.
But over the years, countless adventurers have buried their bones here, but no one has even seen the shadow of the mantra.
Zi Chen doesn't think this is the mantra.
Naturally, I didn't care.
The business in the store is very good, and the kitchen is even busier because they have to make dried pork.
Fortunately, Zi Chen is not stingy and everyone is given extra overtime pay, so everyone is happy to work overtime.
Even the service staff at the front took the initiative to stay.
The first batch of air-dried meat was made three days later. It was mainly roasted. After all, time was limited, but fortunately the taste was not bad.
As soon as it was put out, it was snatched up by everyone.
The number of people in the market town has obviously increased in the past few days. Zi Chen, who was sitting at the foot of the wall with the adventurers, felt an unusual atmosphere.
Things may change here.
He looked at the adventurers and said, "Don't go out these days. Save some money. If you are really hungry for wine, I can order a half portion and give you a bowl of wine."
Seeing Zi Chen's expression, these adventurers were stunned, "Boss Chen, something happened?"
"It's hard to say. Anyway...don't waste time."
Zi Chen said: "Remember my words, I will also give you a bowl of wine for the next ten spiritual coins."
"Boss Chen, then you will lose money." said an adventurer.
"Don't be afraid of losing money. As long as you are alive, you will always come to give me money in the future. This will be treated as a hidden package, waiting for you to trigger it."
Zi Chen looked ahead.
A team of seven people came here, all of them were young people. The leader saw the adventurers around him and saw the signboard here, and felt interesting.
"There is not enough dry food. Everyone is tired of eating barbecue every day on the road. I didn't expect that there is a barbecue restaurant here and the business is so prosperous. Let's go in and try it and see what's different about it."
The business in the store is better.
At the end of the month, because the results were good, every employee received two months' salary.
Wu Haoqi is finally back.
"Get ready for the desert!"
He is dusty.
After eating something and drinking a bowl of wine, he informed me of the situation in detail.
Recently, there has been news circulating in the desert that the mantra is in a small town that has disappeared for thousands of years, and recently this lost town is about to appear.
"This news was originally discovered secretly by the Liu family, but it was revealed by their insiders and made known to the whole world."
Wu Haoqi smiled coldly, "It's okay now, everyone is here, and the Liu family can no longer keep the secret."
Zi Chen nodded in response.
In fact, he was not very interested in mantras and mantras from the beginning.
"Hey, what's your attitude? That's a mantra! Every word contains great power. There are only nine words, which is less than a mythical spell!"
Zi Chen cooperated and was surprised, "Oh, that's good."
Seeing Wu Hao's dissatisfied expression, Zi Chen took out the map.
"What the hell?"
Wu Haoqi took it and opened it. There were some curved lines drawn on it.
"Old Chen died because of it. He said he was brought from a small town." Zi Chen said.
"The lost map?"
Wu Hao's eyes lit up with anger, and his breathing quickened, "That lost map is actually in your hand!"
The fact that the Liu family lost an important map has long been spread in the desert. It is said that they have killed many people for this map.
Wu Haoqi had been gloating about his misfortune, but unexpectedly he saw the lost item.
Zi Chen corrected: "This is not something from the Liu family. It was earned by Lao Chen with his life."
Wu Hao looked at it angrily, but didn't see anything interesting.
"The news is that the Liu family has put together a peripheral map that can reach the lost town, but the internal map of the town has been lost. Maybe this is the one."
Wu Haoqi said with an excited expression: "Zi Chen, we are going to have great luck."
Zichen didn't know whether he would have good luck or not. Anyway, before dawn the next day, he was dragged up by Wu Hao angrily.
A group of four people packed up their daily necessities and embarked on a journey into the desert.
Before leaving, Zi Chen told everyone that if there is trouble, they must not hold on and know how to give in.
As long as people live, everything is fine.
As for other things, let's wait until they come back.
After leaving the market town, I found that there were many people on the road, and their destinations were all deserts.
Black spots occasionally appear on the endless desert.
These are adventurers.
Came for opportunity.
From time to time, people fly over the sky, and the weakest ones are all Chengshan-level big shots. The people below are envious of those who are working hard.
"Chengshan, when can we arrive? I really want to know what it feels like to fly into the sky."
Wu Hao looked at the ray of light with envy as it went away.
"There is news from the family, hurry up!"
A voice sounded from behind, and then a team of a hundred people rushed forward.
All of them are actually in the Qiling Realm, and the leader is the Ninth Level Qiling Heaven.
Zi Chen turned around inadvertently and found a familiar face inside.
Doozy!
That day, he plotted against Zi Chen in the Demonic Forbidden Land, but was almost killed by Zi Chen. In the end, he killed three of his companions and a younger brother, and escaped alone.
It is said that during this period, Du Qi mobilized many contacts and almost searched Yiyang County just to find Zi Chen.
"Let's speed up, maybe the lost town will appear soon." Wu Haoqi couldn't wait.
Continue on the road at night.
Two days later, everyone gathered in a huge desert.
There are no signs visible from here, and there is nothing strange about the terrain.
The alien beasts within a radius of ten miles have been cleared away, and there are thousands of adventurers in various camps.
"I seem to have been here before. Is that lost town here?"
Wu Haoqi couldn't believe it.
It is not far from the market town of Gesha, only a few days away. Many adventurers have been here, but they have never seen any small town.
The Liu family felt as if they had eaten a dead rat. As the news leaked out, they were blackmailed and had no choice but to share the information.
At this moment, facing the doubts from the powerful forces, all I can do is give an explanation.
It turns out that the coordinates on the map are always changing, like the town is moving silently, and the location is never fixed.
This is also the reason why over the years, I have met very few people from the small town.
Without a map, you can only rely on luck.
And often if you go in, you may not come back alive.
Just one day passed, and suddenly a strong wind blew under the clear sky.
A huge tornado storm formed between the cups of tea and swept across the world.
The storm connected the sky and the earth, and the yellow sand in the sky was swallowed up by the storm. The huge movement was jaw-dropping.
Some adventurers began to retreat, with fear in their eyes.
There were still some who persisted in place, their whole bodies lit up with light, resisting the devouring power coming from the storm.
The storm lasted for another cup of tea, and then disappeared into thin air.
Where the storm raged, a lost town appeared.
The streets of the small town are deserted, but as clean as new.
Immediately there were exclamations from all around.
"The lost town appears!"
"Call the others back quickly!"
Amid the exclamations, others began to call for their companions, before some of them retreated.
But when he turned around, he found that there was no one in the distance.
Those who had retreated before seemed to be in a different time and space from them.
"Everyone who retreated earlier has disappeared."
Wu Haoqi also noticed this.
Zi Chen said: "It's not that they disappeared, but that we came to another place, time and space were confused, and we may no longer be in the desert."
The three of them looked at Zi Chen in confusion.
"The emergence of the storm is similar to some kind of teleportation, bringing all the people still in the field here."
Although many people disappeared, thousands of people remained in the same place.
The moment they saw the lost town, everyone roared excitedly and rushed forward.
Then, the first group of people who rushed in were dismembered without warning, and their blood was like a river.
