Eunuch Zhao mounted his horse and set off with Zhao Jianjun, followed by the cavalry from Chang 'an.
As soon as he came out of the protectorate, Su Lie immediately came up to him.
"Eunuch Zhao, Zhao Jianjun, where are you going? Recently, many strange demonic seeds have appeared in the Cloudy Desert, and there is a certain degree of danger. Therefore, if there is nothing special, the two lords should try not to go out and temporarily rest in the protectorate.”
When Zhao Jianjun heard Su Lie's words, he immediately frowned.
"This place isn't safe? What's wrong with you Great Wall Guards!”
Eunuch Zhao waved his hand and told Zhao Jianjun to stop talking.
"General Su, are you saying that there's a problem with the Demon Seed outside?”
Su Lie cupped his hands and said," To tell you the truth, a batch of mysterious demonic seeds of unknown origin have appeared recently. A few samples have been sent to the Thousand Caves City. Scholars who specialize in demonic seed research have come to investigate and study them. We are waiting for the results. The Great Wall Guards are also cleaning up, but there are still unstable factors.”
"Then, General Su, is it dangerous for us to go to the Thousand Caves City now?" Eunuch Zhao asked with a smile.”
Su Lie was stunned for a moment." It's hard to say. If the two of you want to go to the Thousand Caves City, I'm willing to lead the way."”
"Then I'll have to trouble you, General Su."
Just like that, Su Lie brought Eunuch Zhao and Zhao Jianjun to the Thousand Caves City.
After passing by a small town halfway, Su Lie frowned and raised his hand to stop the army.
The small town ahead was too quiet, and the Great Wall Guards that were supposed to be guarding the entrance were nowhere to be seen.
This was originally an empty city where Ye Chen and Jialuo had cleared out the demon seeds. Later, the Great Wall Guards set up camp here. Su Lie had been here yesterday.
But today, it was very quiet, so quiet that it made one's hair stand on end.
Caw! Caw!
A black crow flew across the sky, and everyone couldn't help but shiver.
"General Su, are we going in?" Zhao Jianjun looked at Su Lie and asked.”
Su Lie said in a deep voice," Please wait here for a moment. I'll go in and take a look. Ten people!"”
"Yes, General!"
Ten soldiers immediately stepped out and followed Su Lie into the town.
As soon as Su Lie entered the town, he immediately saw corpses lying on the square. They were the corpses of the Great Wall Guards stationed here!
Their hearts had all been dug out, and blood was everywhere. It was very terrifying!
At this moment, the sounds of fighting could be heard outside, along with the angry shouts and screams of the soldiers!
Su Lie's expression changed drastically. How could a Demon Seed have such a high IQ?!”
Just as Su Lie was about to turn around and leave, a fierce black shadow suddenly appeared behind Su Lie. A cruel and fierce light enveloped the back of Su Lie's neck.
"Who is it?"
Su Lie threw a backhand punch and sent the attacker flying!
He had been stabbed in the hand. Blood was flowing out and the wound was black.
It was poisonous!
Su Lie looked at the attacker who suddenly appeared with an ugly expression.
Su Lie felt like he had seen such an attack somewhere before.
This person had white hair, wore a mask, and had red eyes!
"Blood Clan? Die!"
Su Lie roared and charged forward!
However, the killer jumped back and disappeared into the alley.
Su Lie was furious, but he couldn't give chase. He had to turn back and rescue Zhao Jianjun and Eunuch Zhao.
Just as Su Lie was poisoned and left, two figures were watching Su Lie leave from the roof of a room in the town.
"Alchemy King, from the looks of it, your new test subject is very successful.”
One of them was the Alchemy King who had lived in Thousand Caves City for a long time.
The other person was an adventurer who came from the distant Sunset Sea. He wore a denim hat and a jacket.
"Marco Polo, what is your intention in attacking Su Lie?”
Marco Polo smiled and said," Su Lie is injured. I won't let him hinder our plan. Moreover, I didn't just attack Su Lie this time. I attacked the two nobles from Chang 'an.”
"Very soon, they will have internal strife.”
"As for the Philosopher's Stone you mentioned, didn't you say that the honorary director's certificate is the Philosopher's Stone? I'll secretly deal with Ye Chen when the time comes. Don't worry.”
" Hmph!" Alchemy King snorted." It's good that you can do it, or I'll make you regret it!"”
Marco Polo smiled and said," We are partners. You should have some confidence in your partners.”
Just as Marco Polo predicted, Su Lie risked his injuries and poisoning to save Eunuch Zhao and Zhao Jianjun. However, he was questioned by Zhao Jianjun.
"General Su, what is going on?!”
"Zhao Jianjun, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's go!" Su Lie said in a deep voice.”
"I don't even know how you, the general of the Great Wall Guards, did it!" Zhao Jianjun said with a gloomy face.”
Eunuch Zhao was expressionless. He wasn't injured, but he was in a bad mood.
He had originally planned to look for Ye Chen and get his original poem so that he could bring it back to the empress to claim credit.
In the end, he had to return halfway.
On the way back to the city, Su Lie rode his horse and used his knife to release poisonous blood. His face was gloomy.
The silver-haired, red-eyed attacker appeared in his mind.
The red eyes were undoubtedly a Blood Tribe characteristic.
However, how could the Blood Clan appear in the Cloudy Desert? The Blood Clan clearly only existed in Xuan Yong's place. Could it be that the Blood Clan's disaster had already spread to the Cloudy Desert?
Suddenly, the appearance of King Lan Ling's corpse appeared in Su Lie's mind.
It looked like the attacker from before, but the color of his hair and eyes had completely changed.
"That's impossible…"
