Sunset, dusk.

One kilometer away, dense black spots began to move closer to our direction, and they were moving very fast.

"What's that?"

I have some doubts about whether people are walking in the desert.

If so, how many people are there?

"I'm not sure either." Mu Zi said cautiously, "By the way, what happened to the things you arranged?"

"No problem, it's easy to deal with one or two thieves." I said pretending to be relaxed.

She didn't continue to ask.

"It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows."

she reminded me, staring behind me.

I turned around suddenly and found nothing.

"What...what do you mean?" I suspected she saw something.

"Anyway, we'd better be careful."

Mu Zi seemed unsure.

Is there a third person around the city wall? When did that happen? Did I just enter here, or did someone hide here after several things happened?

If you know there's someone spying on you in the dark, there's a good chance you'll have a meltdown.

In the evening, as usual, I took a torch and looked around to check the situation after dinner.

Everything works fine.

If someone is really hiding in the dark, there is no way I will find it, and we don't seem to be harmed. Am I really paranoid?

"Who!"

Suddenly, I noticed a dark shadow.

He went directly to the edge of the oasis and burrowed into the bushes of the Populus euphratica tree.

I quickly followed.

Fortunately, I blocked the entrance to the underground cave with a boulder, so the man probably didn't get in. Otherwise, the boulder would not have been able to be moved by one person.

"who?"

I shouted.

No response.

Sure enough, there is someone!

I broke into a cold sweat.

The torch was almost extinguished as I moved quickly, so I had to stop for a moment while standing still.

It was pitch black in the distance and nothing could be seen.

I saw that the thorns on the shore of the oasis were destroyed. He must have been poisoned.

I thought about it.

I thought about it and continued walking forward. I walked a hundred or two hundred meters out of the oasis. There were rolling sand dunes in front of me, so I didn't dare to go forward.

If it hid itself in the dunes, I wouldn't be able to find it anyway.

"Damn it!"

I stamped my feet.

Seeing that the torch was about to go out, I gave up looking for the black figure.

I returned to the oasis worriedly and checked the status of my mechanism. At this time, I found that a small blade was directly stained red by blood.

I was about to walk back when suddenly I fell directly into a deep pit, which was just big enough for one person.

"Save me..."

I screamed at the top of my lungs.

Only half of my head was exposed above, and my body, hands and feet were almost sunk into the ground.

"Whoosh!"

Unexpectedly, when I was struggling, there was a terrifying sound in front of me. When I saw it, a dagger flew out of nowhere and aimed directly at my neck.

If that thing were attached to my neck, my head would be cut off.

"when!"

Mu Zi directly stopped the thing with his dagger.

Then he pulled me out of the pit.

"Watch your back!" I saw a black snake suddenly emerge from the bushes, its body covered with barbs and it rushed towards us.

"What the hell?"

I had to use my arms to block your snake.

Ouch!

It felt like my arms were numb and I couldn't even feel the pain.

"Go back quickly."

The oasis had been tampered with. The snake stabbed me in my arm. Then Muzi chopped off the snake's head with a dagger and dropped it to the ground. The snake twisted its body for a long time and then stopped moving.

I was almost dragged to the third floor.

Because my hands and feet were numb and I had no feeling.

"I...what's wrong?"

I felt like I couldn't move my hands and feet, and my arms were full of needle holes with black blood. I almost lost my name. It was Muzi who saved me, and the injury on my arm was also caused by saving her.

If I were here alone, maybe there would be corpses everywhere, no, not all corpses.

"Ouch!"

The severe pain began to slowly spread throughout the body.

I feel the pain of thousands of arrows piercing my heart. What on earth is that snake?

"It's the Twilight Snake!"

Mu Zi said, "They were raised by humans."

That kind of snake and insect does not exist in nature.

"Maybe it's the black shadow." I became more certain.

"It's you!"

Suddenly, Mu Zi looked in front of me. I was so painful that I was about to shed tears. But when I opened my eyes, I saw the black shadow in front of me, and my whole body was wrapped in a black robe.

Only the dark eyes were exposed.

Apparently his foot was also injured, and there was a lot of blood on the ground. He barely supported his body with only one leg and stood in front of us.

"Ahem!"

The man coughed, obviously trying to move, but failed.

"Who the hell are you?"

I roared.

"He is... a person sent by an antiquities dealer."

Mu Zi then said seriously.
