The Venerable Monster Tamer

Section 13: Dunhuang trachoma

The ruins of the ancient city in the Dunhuang trachoma are very mysterious. No one knows what era it was and why those people built it.

But inside the ancient city, there is indeed a wealth of wealth. Every three years when trachoma is opened, it will attract a huge flow of people.

Even more so this year. The fifteen major powers in Dunhuang will form their own expedition teams to explore. A blueprint of a monster soldier in the ancient city may be able to create an elite soldier, thereby changing the strength balance between the major forces.

After Chu Yun received Jin Bihan's letter, he set off that night. After being teleported through the five gem secret doors, and then driving in the middle of the night, he arrived at Hope City just as the sun was rising.

Hope City is a medium-sized city, among the many cities in Dunhuang Kingdom, it is the closest to Dunhuang Trachoma. It was originally an extremely backward village with a population of less than one hundred and dozens of houses. But since the ruins of the ancient city were discovered, it has gradually developed into what it is today because of its favorable location. Covering an area of ​​thousands of miles, the tall and strong city wall isolates the wind and sand. The densely lined arrow towers have greatly contributed to the security of the city.

The city is neutral and not under the control of the 15 major forces. At this time, the opening of trachoma was approaching, and the gate of the city was already full of traffic.

After Chu Yun entered the city, according to the agreement in his heart, he found a courtyard. After revealing his identity, he was warmly received by the owner of the courtyard.

Chu Yun stayed at home, recuperating in the courtyard and communicating with the concubines.

At night, he opened the door and found a tavern. After ordering a glass of wine, he sat down at a table in the corner.

"Have you heard? This time there are 15 major forces in the country, all of which have dispatched powerful exploration teams. We must go deep into the ruins of the ancient city."

"This is inevitable. The civil strife has been going on for so long, and now it is the calm before the storm. All forces are accumulating strength, and the ruins of the ancient city become the key to breaking the deadlock. If you are lucky, you will find one or two treasures in the ruins that can change the situation , is not impossible."

"It's not enough to say it's peaceful. Lord Shangguan's son was killed, and even Pearl City was taken away. It is said that a batch of extremely important military supplies were lost."

"Both of these things have been found out, and they were all caused by Chu Yundong."

"Huh? The little overlord has also come to Dunhuang Kingdom?"

"It's not that the Raptors can't cross the river. It's not just a bully? This time, taking advantage of the domestic chaos, there are many more strongmen than before. I won't say much about the first-class forces such as the Jagged Alliance and the Tiansha Gang. And King Yan's Sword Mansion, Jiuyou City, Kutuo Temple and other super powers have all sent their strong men here."

"Dunhuang trachoma opened this time, and it was really chaotic. People from all sides gathered here. I think bloody battles are indispensable."

"This is the worst thing for us little people. It will be miserable if Chi Yu gets hurt."

A sound of discussion reached Chu Yun's ears, which made him gain a lot. I went to the tavern just to find out some news. Now it seems that the situation is indeed not optimistic. Although there are Dunhuang Princess's troops to rely on, there are too many opponents at the same level. Fighting is inevitable.

After listening for more than an hour, Chu Yun left the tavern with satisfaction. After returning to the courtyard, he fell asleep soundly. Anyway, with the protection of the fairy concubines, these women are already demon soldiers, and they don't need to rest at all.

The next morning, Chu Yun was awakened by a sudden knock on the door.

When he opened the door, Chu Yun saw Shi Jiaming holding a folding fan, wearing a scholar's robe, standing in front of him with a jade tree facing the wind, smiling at him.

"Ha! You kid!" Chu Yun laughed loudly, stretched out his arms, and gave Shi Jiaming a bear hug.

"Let him go!" Bai Shasha's angry voice rang in Chu Yun's ears almost at the same time.

"Senior, you're here too?" Chu Yun was surprised. The commander of the imperial guards is not in the royal city to protect the princess of Dunhuang, what is he doing here? Could it be that her speculation about the Bliss and Joy Ship has not been dispelled?

"Chu Yun, don't worry, Lord Commander is here to protect me this time." Shi Jiaming blushed, and broke free from Chu Yun's arms without a trace.

"Well, it seems that you should be Princess Dunhuang's right-hand man. Even the commander of the imperial guards has been sent to protect you. Tsk tsk." Chu Yun exclaimed.

"It's not just the right hand and the right arm?" Bai Shasha sneered, not looking good towards Chu Yun.

Hearing this, Chu Yun was even more sure that Shi Jiaming had been reused. I am really happy for my classmates.

"Master Commander is straightforward, but he is actually a very nice person." Shi Jiaming explained awkwardly, and then said in a very casual tone, "By the way, I heard that Brother Chu and you are traveling with a female companion. Why don't you see me?" Her? Is it in your room?"

"Oh, she. She said she has something to do, so we'll go first. She'll join us when she's done." Seeing that Bai Shasha was present, Chu Yun had no choice but to be vague.

A gleam of disappointment flashed in Shi Jiaming's eyes, and he immediately smiled: "Let's go. Our large troops are stationed outside the city."

This time, Shi Jiaming brought a team of thirty people. Everyone is a brave and elite man with strong muscles and shining eyes. Every move exudes a strong military atmosphere, absolutely obeying the command.

Chu Yun suddenly thought of a question: "How many pass orders did you bring with you this time?" There are gatehouses, arrow towers and other organs everywhere in the ruins of the ancient city, and each place needs a pass order to open for a period of time.

"Don't worry, the royal family has a lot of reserves. This time I brought nineteen tokens, which are enough." Shi Jiaming replied with a smile.

"I also have six here, some of them were bought at the Cursed City auction, and some of them were obtained by killing Shangguan Feiyi."

"Hehehe, this matter of yours has caused quite a commotion, and it has spread throughout the Dunhuang kingdom. Shangguan Fengye will take revenge, and it is very likely that he will personally come here this time to kill you and avenge his son. That's why Princess Dunhuang sent the guards The commander of the army sent here to assist me. Look, this is a map of the ruins of the ancient city." Shi Jiaming handed over a map.

This is the map drawn by the royal family in the past dynasties to explore the ruins of the ancient city.

Among all the forces, this map is definitely among the best in terms of scope and details.

Chu Yun was overjoyed. The ruins of the ancient city are very vast and complex. With this map, it is simply a guiding light in the dark, which is of great help to exploration.

According to his memory, he quickly found the location of Jinsha Qishu on this map.

"Let's go to this place first." Chu Yun pointed to the map and said.

Shi Jiaming glanced at Chu Yun in amazement: "Is your information reliable? You must know that there are many false information every time it is opened. Many forces deliberately released false information to attract rangers as cannon fodder to find their way."

"Don't worry. Don't you believe me? Let's go as soon as possible. To enter the ruins of the ancient city, you have to go through the territory of the sand demon. The sooner you enter the ruins of the ancient city, the better chance you will have." Chu Yun couldn't help urging. In case Jinsha Qishu was published first, who would he cry to?

Around the Dunhuang trachoma, there are a large number of sand demons living.

This is a high-quality monster, as famous as Shidrill. The same is that both are earth spirit puppets. The difference is that the former is a sandy structure, while the latter is made of mountains and rocks.

The sand demon king in the hands of Bai Shasha is the beast king in this kind of sand demon group. Peerless aptitude, able to be promoted to the realm of robbery.

Ho ho ho.

Suddenly, three sand demons emerged from the sand dunes, blocking the way of Chu Yun, a brave man.

Before Shi Jiaming's men and horses could move out, they saw the saber splendor like water, filling the past. The roars of the three sand demons stopped abruptly, and the surface of their bodies was covered with frost. Immediately, their bodies collapsed and turned into three demon crystals.

This is Chu Yun making a move.

After these days, after listening to the suggestions of 31 concubines, Chu Yun's Drunken Snow Saber technique has changed a lot. Now he is going to use these sand demons to step up his familiarity with his new Taoism.

The Drunken Snow Knife of the pinnacle spirit demon rank is not something that the sand demon of the great demon rank can compete with. Chu Yun cleared the way ahead, honing in on the new way, and there was no chance for others to make a move.

"Unexpectedly, in just three or four days, he actually made such a major breakthrough in the Drunken Snow Knife." Bai Shasha was the most surprised.

She walked behind, she was calm on the surface, but she was very shocked in her heart.

She is very familiar with Chu Yun's sword skills. But now, they are using completely different saber techniques, but when they are combined and matched, they are more than ten times more mysterious and ingenious than the original ones.

"It seems that Chu Yun not only has superb sword skills, but also has quite unique insights into various Taoism. But in just three or four days, he made such a major improvement. This talent is really terrifying!"

"Okay, I got familiar with the sword technique again. It should be the Hurricane Bow." Chu Yun put away the Zuixue Knife and took out the Hurricane Bow.

All along, he has been mainly shooting meteor arrows. But now with the guidance of the concubines, the Hurricane Bow is equipped with a lot of archery techniques, with Meteor Archery as the main body, forming a unique and sharp tactical system.

"Huh? It turns out that he also has such a deep understanding of archery! This combination is really eye-catching." Bai Shasha's pupils dilated quietly.

A moment later, Chu Yun put away the Hurricane Bow and summoned the Sky Fox. She widened her eyes and was even more surprised.

After another period of time, she opened her mouth wide, almost unable to believe her eyes.

"This, is this still a human being? Could it be that the battle with me made him learn from the pain and triggered his infinite inspiration? All the combinations of Taoism and methods are so ingenious and ingenious. The established one by one The tactical system, when studied deeply, has a unique meaning, which is really amazing."

Traditionally, the collocation of Taoism has been slowly adjusted according to usage habits and personal fighting style after a long period of time.

Never before has there been an earth-shaking big change like Chu Yun.

In Bai Shasha's view, this kind of behavior that has not been tested in practice and changed randomly is either a lunatic or a fool.

But now, Chu Yun changed her mind.

"It turns out that there really is a kind of genius in this world, which is difficult for us ordinary people to fathom." Bai Shasha was puzzled, it was really a miracle. In the end, she had no choice but to attribute this reason to Chu Yun's talent.

"I heard a long time ago that the young island owner of the Shu family is extremely talented, and he is the number one among the younger generation. I was not angry at first. I thought that if Bihan made a move, it would definitely not be the case. I was wrong." Bai Shasha thought in her heart Xing sighed, "This kind of talent is simply a monster. No wonder it can attract Bihan from my family. But now he doesn't know Bihan's true identity, what should I do to help Bihan?"

She has really calmed down now.

She had to admit Chu Yun's talent. Although I didn't do my best in that battle, I just wanted to teach Chu Yun a lesson. But he was only 16 years old, and he was like this with his two-hundred-year-old self. This performance is indeed quite amazing.

Seeing him adapting the new Taoism now, Bai Shasha even raised her evaluation of Chu Yun in her heart.

The annoying thing is that I have no experience in this area, and I want to help my apprentice, but there is no way. Now I can only do it in a hurry.

While pushing forward, Chu Yun whispered to Shi Jiaming. They are all situations after separation. Basically, he was talking and Shi Jiaming was listening. Unless Chu Yun took the initiative to ask, Shi Jiaming would only respond with a few words.

Chu Yun's ups and downs of adventure experiences and passionate memories of the battlefield made Shi Jiaming's eyes flicker. Pushing forward like this, passing through the sand demon's territory, everyone came to the edge of Dunhuang trachoma.

In the vast desert, a huge sinkhole appeared.

The size of the crater is large enough to swallow a large city at the same time. The tiankeng is not calm, and the roar is deafening. It is because there is a large amount of yellow sand on its edge, which is pouring down continuously, forming a sand waterfall with a height of tens of feet.

In the next six days, the area of ​​the huge crater will continue to grow larger and larger, and will only stop when it expands to three times. Then the strong wind howled, blowing an unprecedented huge sandstorm, which buried the entire tiankeng trachoma.

This is a strange natural phenomenon. No one can figure out why this scene happens every three years.

Maybe figure it out, only by reaching the deepest part of the ruins of the ancient city.

But the ancient city has never been fully explored. Six days is really too short for the explorers who are fighting and calculating each other, dragging their legs and infighting.

No one has entered the center of the ancient city ruins, and even the inner circle is rarely set foot. In the ruins of the ancient city, there are a large number of monsters. Massive sand demons, poisonous swift shadow scorpions, tall luminous mushroom giants... In addition, the pass code is also another key factor restricting the pace of explorers.

"Everyone get closer to each other, so as not to be scattered by the sand flow after rushing down. We will enter the sand road later, if unfortunately we are alone, we will contact the demon soldiers and return to the main force as soon as possible." Bai Shasha paused for a while. , and then categorically shouted: "Let's go!"
