"Are you going to go to the protectorate headquarters empty-handed like this?”Hua Mulan asked unhappily.
Su Yu seemed to have thought of something and pulled out a long thing from behind him. It was wrapped in layers of white cloth. "Oh, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. I even carried a sword on my back.”
Hua Mulan was speechless.
"…"
"Forget it. It seems like you don't have anything else. How about this? You can rest here first.”
"Kai and I will go and prepare the things to set off. We will leave the city from the second beacon tower at night.”
After Hua Mulan finished speaking, she left the Beacon Tower with Kai.
Su Yu wandered around the Beacon Tower in boredom.
The Central Beacon Tower was really different from the other Beacon Towers.
On the flat bluestone bricks, there was a stone pillar that suddenly appeared.
Su Yu walked up and saw that the stone pillar was neither too tall nor too short, and there was a big 'Xiu' character carved on it.
Xiu?
What was the meaning of this?
After studying it for a long time, Su Yu couldn't figure out what it was, so he gave up.
However, when he turned around, the word "Xiu" on the stone pillar suddenly emitted a blue light.
The stone pillar trembled without a trace, as if some living thing had been awakened.
……
The sun was setting.
the setting sun over the river is round.
A dozen or so cavalrymen filed out of the second Beacon Tower's gate.
Everyone wore huge bamboo hats.
Beside the horse's belly were bundles of various sizes.
The one riding at the front was the Great Wall General Hua Mulan, followed closely by the third Beacon Tower General, Kai.
Looking behind them, there was a young man in white with bright eyes. He was carrying a long object on his back.
This was the first time Su Yu had left the Great Wall since he came to this world.
He had thought that after he left the Great Wall, his first destination would be the Empire's Chang 'an, which was far east of Heluo.
Unexpectedly, it was headed in the opposite direction.
"If we set off now, when will we reach the protectorate?”Su Yu asked as he rode his horse.
"If we travel day and night, we'll arrive tomorrow afternoon," Kai replied.”
"Then, will we return after we see General Jialuo?" Su Yu asked curiously.”
"Things won't be that simple," Hua Mulan said coldly. The demon seed must have some plans for the Thousand Caves City. If the news from Garo is urgent, we might have to act alone.”
Although Su Yu was a little nervous, he was even more nervous.
He was not afraid.
With a Gold level Hua Mulan by his side, didn't he still push all the way to the Demon Seed?
The horse galloped, leaving deep footprints in the soft sand.
They were already a hundred miles away from the Great Wall.
Looking around, there was nothing but endless desert.
The desert was deserted under the night sky.
The unusually quiet desert was suddenly awakened by the sound of horse hooves.
From the inconspicuous desert, ugly demonic insects crawled out of the ground.
One of the insects spoke in human language. "Immediately send a message to the lord that humans are about to step into our territory.”
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving the order, these little bugs instantly disappeared into the desert.
The originally calm desert quickly turned turbulent.
……
Hua Mulan, who was galloping at the front, frowned without looking for any traces.
She had traveled from the Great Wall to the protectorate countless times, so she was very familiar with the environment along the way. She even remembered every landmark clearly.
"No, this isn't the direction to the Protectorate!”Hua Mulan said as she pulled the reins.
The horse neighed towards the sky.
Kai, Su Yu, and the rest of the Mulan Guards stopped as well.
"Marshal, what happened?" Kai asked in confusion.
"I've never walked this path before," Hua Mulan said firmly.”
"Look at the moon in the sky. We should head in the opposite direction of the moon.”
Everyone looked up at the sky.
" Marshal," Kai said," we didn't go the wrong way. We're moving in the opposite direction of the moon."”
Hua Mulan shook her head gently." As I said just now, I've walked the road from the Great Wall to the protectorate countless times. I remember every blade of grass and tree around me. However, I have never walked this path.”
"Can't we just readjust if we go in the wrong direction? What's so strange about that?"”
"The surroundings look exactly the same. It's normal for them to deviate from their original direction.”
Hua Mulan glared at Su Yu. Why did this guy like to make things difficult for her?
Just as Hua Mulan was doubting her judgment, suddenly, a soft rustling sound came from afar, as if something was crawling on the desert.
The sound was not obvious at first, but as time passed, it became louder and louder.
Su Yu's eyes widened as he saw small whirlpools appear in the desert in front of him. Something was coming out of the desert.
"Demon Seed!"
"This is a demonic seed attack!"
One of the Mulan Guards exclaimed!
In the next moment, countless beetles drilled out of the ground and pounced at them crazily.
