Everyone was shocked and rushed over to check, only to see the lecherous man's body around the entrance. There was no trace of anyone else. Wu Chen examined his carotid artery with a gloomy face and shook his head.
"Could it really be an evil ghost?!" Sansir muttered to himself. The Tieyan tribe members trembled, clearly terrified to the bone.
"There's no evil ghost," Elder Wu Sun said in a low voice. "Take off his clothes and check if there are any wounds on his body."
The Mongolian soldiers quickly took off Karluk's clothes. Ah Man turned away in embarrassment while Su Pu and the rest craned their necks to check.
The soldiers examined his body carefully and finally said in a daze, "There are no wounds."
Camel's teeth chattered as he took a step back. "I knew it, it must be an evil ghost coming for us."
Elder Wu Sun turned to look at Song Qingshu. "Big Brother, did you sense someone behind the door?"
Song Qingshu shook his head. Other than Karluk, there was no one else's aura near the door. Elder Wu Sun also said, "I didn't sense anyone behind the door either."
This time, even the Mongolian party felt a chill in their hearts. "Is there really an evil ghost here?"
When they stared at the dark entrance, the group of Mongolian soldiers instinctively took two steps back, and they stared at Wo Chen with expectant eyes.
Wu Chen frowned. There was no turning back now, but with such low morale, it would be troublesome to force them to die.
Suddenly, an idea came to him. He said to Su Pu and the rest, "You guys go ahead and scout."
Su Pu and the rest immediately objected. "Why us? I told you there's an evil ghost here. "
Wu Chen did not waste any more time. He drew his saber and placed it on Ah Man's neck. "If you don't go, I'll kill her immediately."
Wu Sun's eyelids twitched. He was worried that his hand would shake and turn the beautiful girl he had been eyeing into a corpse. However, he would not jump out to ruin Wu Chen's plan at a time like this. He knew that this was Wu Chen's plan.
Song Qingshu held his saber with both hands and looked on coldly from the side.
"You're too despicable!" Su Pu gnashed his teeth. Unfortunately, the situation was against him, and he had no choice but to give in. "Alright, I'll go scout. Sansir, Camel, this has nothing to do with you. You two stay behind."
Sansir and Camel immediately shouted, "Arman is our master's daughter. How can you say it has nothing to do with us? Besides, our Tieyan tribe only has brave warriors who will fight to the death. There are no cowards who run away!"
Aman was the most beautiful flower in the tribe, and no one wanted to see her wither in front of them, even if her lover was not them. Moreover, this was related to their reputation in the tribe, so even though they were afraid, they still insisted on going with them.
"Sansir, Camel …" Ahmann's tears fell like pearls. He felt that he had harmed them.
Seeing the lover of their dreams shed tears for them for the first time, Sancil and Camel suddenly felt refreshed, as if evil spirits were not so scary anymore. LeEco
"Alright, alright, go scout the way." Wo Chen urged impatiently.
Su Pu and the other two had to pull out their sabers and walk slowly through the gate. Sansir and Camel were worried that they would die like that lecher as soon as they entered the gate. Su Pu was thinking, "I wonder if Ahxiu and her sister have encountered this kind of danger when they came here before. Where are they now?"
The three carefully entered the gate with different thoughts in their minds. To their delight, they did not encounter Ge Luolu and entered the gate safely.
Wo Chen breathed a sigh of relief at the back and called the soldiers to follow. He followed behind with Ahmann in custody, and Wusun was also with him.
When she passed by Song QingShu, Ah Man looked at him with a pitiful expression, but Song QingShu pretended not to see it. He was not the kind of person who could not walk away when he saw a beauty. This trip to the north was of great importance, and he could not ruin the whole plan just because of her.
Behind the gate was a long, dark tunnel. Su Pu and the other two lit torches, holding a torch in one hand and a long saber in the other, and led the way. The Mongolian soldiers behind also made torches and lit them up. Of course, Wo Chen, Wusun, and Song Qingshu did not need to hold the torches themselves. There were soldiers around them to light them up.
"Ah!" Ahmann suddenly screamed. It turned out that she had been worried about Su Pu's safety. Her eyes were fixed on him, and she noticed several skeletons lying at the foot of the wall in front of them.
Soon, a Mongolian soldier came forward to investigate and reported, "Some of their clothes are weathered, some are barely recognizable, but without exception, their bodies have all turned into white bones. I think the earliest one died decades ago."
Su Pu, Sansir, and the others looked at each other in shock. No wonder there was a rumor in the tribe that no one could come back alive after entering the depths of the desert to look for treasure.
It seemed that there were brave warriors who came to look for it in the past hundreds of years, but they all died here.
"Can you tell what the cause of death is?" Wo Chen asked in a deep voice.
The Mongolian soldier shook his head and said, "Other than their own weapons, there was nothing left at the scene. Moreover, the bodies have all turned into white bones, so it's hard to determine the cause of death."
Not everyone in this era was like Song Ci, who could determine the cause of death just by looking at the bones.
"Are they really evil spirits?" The same thought rose in everyone's mind. When they looked at the long tunnel in front of them again, it was like a giant snake that was about to devour them, giving them an oppressive and terrifying feeling.
Wo Chen braced himself and said, "Don't panic, everyone. We, the Mongols, are not only protected by the Everlasting Heaven, but also by the Western Vatican and the gods and Buddhas. Evil spirits are nothing to us!"
When the Mongolian soldiers heard this, they gradually calmed down. These years, the Zen Sect, Tantra Sect, Quanzhen Sect in the east, and the Vatican in the west had sent countless people to preach to the Great Khan. Speaking of which, they were indeed protected by the gods and Buddhas. Thinking about it this way, they were not so afraid of evil spirits.
Not long after the group of people continued to walk, Song Qingshu suddenly noticed some murals on the stone walls on both sides. It was a story of the brave warriors of the Gaochang Kingdom fighting against the invaders, but in the end, they were defeated and retreated to this place. The whole story gave a feeling that it was not because the army did not work hard, but because the enemy was too arrogant.
Thinking about the identity of the invaders, Song Qingshu felt a little strange, because in history, it was the famous general Hou Junji who destroyed the Gaochang Kingdom.
Suddenly, he noticed that the eyes on the murals were a little strange. He walked forward to take a closer look, and found that the circles on the eyeballs were not painted, but were originally round holes on the wall. Looking around, he found that the walls were densely packed with such round holes, but they were hidden in the murals, so it was difficult to see at first glance.
