Section 1500 Greed vs Fear
In the desert, there are trees and grass, which means there is life and you can survive.
Although Wanyan Xiyin grew up in the northern grasslands, he understands that this principle will not escape him in the desert.
Yang Yao woke up and said: "Is Eternal Tribulation City a mirage?"
Wanyan Xiyin actually knew the concept of "mirage" and was silent for a moment, "I don't know."
Shen Yue looked at Wanyan Xiyin's whereabouts, "You mentioned Eternal Calamity City. It was probably the Desert Fox who led people towards the Eternal Calamity City, so Yan Lie is also planning to follow those people?"
Without Shen Yue, Wan Yanlie would of course have absolute control over the team.
Wanyan Xiyin nodded, "But the city disappeared immediately."
Shen Yue thought to himself, that was when the group of them were watching the disappearing scorpion?
The city disappears in a flash, is it like a bait for you to see and follow?
When Shen Yue was thinking this way, he still said: "But those horse thieves should still be running in the direction of the city, and you are also following them all the way. What accident happened on the way?"
Wanyan Xiyin said in surprise, "Mr. Shen, why does it seem like he saw it with his own eyes?"
Shen Yue said calmly, "You suddenly left the team, which means you encountered a problem that cannot be solved. You came to us just to ask for our advice. If not, why did you come here?"
Wanyan Xiyin sighed, "Sir, he is really a wise man. Yes...it's just that Yan Lie asked me to consult..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yue suddenly looked into the distance. Everyone followed his gaze with different expressions.
There is wonderment, fear, confusion, and pondering...
A city suddenly appeared in the distance of the desert.
It's the South!
It doesn't look far away, and it looks like it's separated by a natural chasm.
The city is tall and majestic, and very simple. Looking from their direction, they cannot see the whole city, but they can see the faint greenery inside the city.
Where there is green, there is vegetation; where there is vegetation, there are natural water sources; where there are water sources, there is hope.
The city flashed out, as if it had existed forever, but after staying in the distance for a while, it slowly dissipated, like a mirror, flowers in the water, and the moon.
Shen Yue withdrew his gaze, "Is that the Eternal Tribulation City?" Seeing Wanyan Xiyin nodding, Shen Yue said, "Let's go first."
He walked towards Wanyan Xiyin's direction.
Yang Yao followed naturally, Shituo remained silent, but finally moved his steps.
Shen Yuofa asked, "How do you know the name of the city?"
Wanyan Xiyin said solemnly: "This is the reason why I turned around. While we were following the traces of the horse thieves, the originally mixed horse hoof traces suddenly branched into two paths. One way was to the northwest, and the other way was still towards the direction of Yongjie City. However, on the desert, But a few bodies were left behind.”
Shen Yue said unexpectedly, "There must be a split within the horse thieves. Some people insist on going to Yongjie City, while others want to leave as soon as possible. Because of different opinions, there is a fight, and some people are killed because of it?"
Wanyan Xiyin sighed: "Mr. Shen is exactly the same as what Yan Lie said."
Shen Yue murmured: "I guess there are not many people going to the northwest, but there are more people going to Yongjie City."
Wanyan Xiyin raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself, do you know?
"The Desert Fox is still in control of the overall situation and will eradicate those who disobey his orders. Therefore, there are many people going to Eternal Calamity City, and naturally there are only a few who escape his murderous hands. When the Desert Fox ignored us and left in a hurry, it must be To rob the city forever?" Shen Yue speculated.
Shi Tuo suddenly said, "I'm afraid that's it."
Yang Yao asked, "How can you be so sure?"
He is truly convinced of Shen Yue, but very skeptical of others.
Shi Tuo recalled leisurely: "I have neither seen nor been to the Everlasting Tribulation City, but I once knew someone who had seen the Everlasting Tribulation City and had the experience of turning around. Therefore, I have heard about some things about the Everlasting Tribulation City. "
Yang Yao questioned: "Didn't you say that you had been to Yongjie City and could not get in or out?" The implication is, if that's the case, how did you hear about Yongjie City?
Shituo smiled solemnly, "He didn't go to Yongjie City, so he didn't die, so he knew some things about Yongjie City. Isn't this difficult to understand?"
Yang Yao was startled.
Shen Yue said soberly, "Is it because of greed that we go to Everlasting City? Is it because of fear that we don't go to Everlasting City?"
Shituo nodded slowly and murmured, "The man said that many scorpions suddenly appeared, forcing them to move into the depths of the desert, but the scorpions suddenly disappeared, and a city appeared in the distance. His Many companions flocked to the City of Eternal Tribulation because according to legend, there was a lot of wealth in the city. But because of fear and missing his family, he chose not to go to the City of Eternal Tribulation, but left the desert."
After a moment of silence, Shituo said sadly: "The result is that none of his companions have been heard from again, and only he survived."
Looking at Yang Yao, Shituo explained, "The appearance of many scorpions today made me wonder that these scorpions are probably the precursors of the emergence of the Everlasting Tribulation City. That's why I thought... Mr. Shen's guess was right, most of the Desert Foxes He has long coveted the City of Eternal Tribulation, and while avoiding the scorpions, he was waiting for the City of Eternal Tribulation to appear, so he ignored us."
Yang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "I see, thank you for the explanation."
Shituo fell silent.
Shen Yue nodded and said, "I think what Shituo said makes sense. The name of Everlasting Tribulation City sounds scary, but it must have something that attracts desert foxes. But Everlasting Tribulation City must be very scary, so other horse thieves don't want to think about it. Following the Desert Fox to his death, they had internal strife."
Wanyan Xiyin responded: "Yan Lie also analyzed it this way. Among the corpses in the desert, there was a horse thief who was still alive. Yan Lie used a bag of water as bait to attract the man to tell him about the Eternal Calamity City. But that The man was really seriously injured, he only said the name of the city and pointed to the south, but didn't say anything more, and then... he died."
Sighing softly, Wanyan Xiyin murmured, "That man is so seriously injured that he cannot survive alone in the desert."
"But you were still facing the southwest at that time?" Shen Yue asked, his face becoming a little strange.
Wanyan Xiyin nodded and said, "Not bad."
Shen Yue was silent for a moment and then said thoughtfully, "At that time, Yan Lie thought he had to go south, but you didn't?"
Wanyan Xiyin sighed lightly, "Yes, Princess Saiyue wants to wait for you, and Zhao Ji also means so. But Yan Lie said, horses are different from camels. We can't wait in the desert for a long time. Wouldn't it be better to go to Yongjie City to increase supplies? He thinks Mr. Shen will definitely agree with his idea."
Shen Yue secretly thought that Wanyan Lie went to Everlasting Calamity City not for supplies, but mostly because of the relationship between Everlasting Calamity City and Shambhala.
A city will not appear in the desert for no reason!
The explanation given by Shen Yue was that it was probably based on the pioneering technology of those people from Tianzhu Mountain!
Since Eternal Tribulation City is related to those people in Tianzhu Mountain, how could Wanyan Lie miss it?
