Why did the dead soldier mention Li Xin and King Lan Ling?
Could it be that Li Xin had betrayed him?
It was still too early to make a conclusion.
But why was King Lan Ling here?
Who was the person that the soldier had not mentioned?
A cold wind blew past, piercing people's hearts and bones.
What made people feel ominous was not only the mysterious death, but also the mysterious figure that lingered behind the death.
Who was the mastermind behind all of this?
What kind of terrifying conspiracy was going on in the endless desert?
Hua Mulan's expression became more and more solemn. She could vaguely sense that this might be a new crisis.
Moreover, this crisis seemed to be much greater than the previous ones.
The Great Wall is facing a storm
The more she thought about it, the closer she got to a palpitation in the depths of her soul. The ominous premonition was also getting closer to her.
"Sister Mulan."
A firm voice came from the back of the man who stood in the cold wind like a steel statue.
The throbbing in her heart was suddenly interrupted. Hua Mulan turned her body slightly and saw Lu Yu's figure.
"No matter what, I will not let go of those guys who gave you a headache.”
With a faint smile on his lips, he placed his hand on Hua Mulan's shoulder, which made a cracking sound, breaking the originally silent atmosphere.
"Someone who can give me a headache is not a simple person.”
Hua Mulan looked back at Lu Yu with a smile. Her eyes were as gentle as water.
For the first time, Hua Mulan realized that Lu Yu was really tall. He was almost half a head taller than her. She had no choice but to raise her head to meet his gaze.
However, with Lu Yu standing behind her, Hua Mulan suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Yes, he was not fighting alone. He still had reliable companions and Lu Yu.
"You protect the Great Wall, and I'll protect you.”
The words from before appeared in his mind again. The same determined gaze appeared, just like now.
In that case, he should not fall behind.
I'm a legend!
No matter what kind of danger it was, Hua Mulan would definitely use the sharp sword in her hand to completely destroy it.
This was her belief. No matter what kind of difficulties stood in her way, she would not be afraid. She would definitely burn them with the fire of victory.
Lu Yu smiled knowingly as he watched Hua Mulan's eyebrows gradually relax.
"Ding! Hua Mulan's favorability increased by 20 points!”
"Hmm? This is…"
When everyone was about to leave this place and follow the traces left on the ground to the depths of the desert, Lu Yu discovered a special place.
There was something in the dead soldier's arms. Under the silver moonlight, it flickered with a bewitching light.
"Peony?"
Lu Yu picked up the petal. Under the dim moonlight, Lu Yu recognized the species of the flower. It was a peony.
Even though it was only a petal, it still emitted a mesmerizing fragrance that intoxicated people. Even though it had fallen, it was still enchanting, as if it was in full bloom.
" The peony died without a trace."
A blurry figure gradually appeared in his mind, but Lu Yu could not immediately call out the person's name.
"Haha!"
However, the figure that appeared in his mind seemed to be alive. It actually let out a mocking laugh. It was terrifying and demonic.
" Who are you?"
He shouted at the figure, but he did not turn around. He just stood there silently. In the end, the purple peony bloomed and completely hid his figure.
......
"Hehe, have we been discovered?"
In the midst of the flying yellow sand, an indistinct figure muttered. The ritual implement in front of his chest emitted a dazzling purple light.
"It seems that the variable in the divination is indeed not simple.”
He was actually able to use the peony he left behind to get close to his identity. That Lu Yu was quite interesting.
"What a blessing, what a disaster! Blessing."
The white-robed necromancer snorted coldly, and an evil smile appeared on his face.
"Although you are an anomaly, in my divination, the one who will make you despair will eventually be the person important to you."
"What a pathetic fellow."
With a wave of his sleeve, the white-robed necromancer's figure disappeared into the sand, leaving behind a blooming peony, beautiful and enchanting.
......
Lu Yu, what's wrong?"
Seeing Lu Yu's sudden strange expression, Hua Mulan quickly asked with concern.
"No, I'm a little carsick. Ah, pui, I'm a little horse sick. I've been riding a horse for the whole day today, so my head is a little dizzy.”
Lu Yu smiled as if nothing had happened.
The poignant and beautiful peony had already been blown away by the wind and turned into ashes.
However, an extremely ominous feeling arose from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps it was different from the killing intent and coldness from before. This ominous feeling seemed to be related to the figure that had appeared in his mind just now.
Lu Yu decided to bury it in his heart for the time being. He did not want this matter to add pressure to Hua Mulan.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me.”
Hua Mulan's expression was very serious. She could clearly see Lu Yu's reluctance, but she did not expose him.
Was it because she didn't want him to worry?
What a fool.
As the troops continued to advance, more and more corpses appeared in the desert. This time, it was different from before. Fresh blood splattered all over the desert, dyeing the yellow sand red.
This scene was still heroic even under the moon.
"This is the army of the protectorate!"
The corpses lying on the ground were all soldiers of the protectorate without exception. It was obvious that they had been through a battle.
However, it was very strange. Since it was a fight, there should be enemies. However, when he swept the surroundings, he did not find any corpses of Demon Seeds or bandits.
Especially after checking the wounds on each of the corpses, Hua Mulan was shocked.
" How could this be?!"
At this moment, even Hua Mulan could not believe her eyes.
However, the truth was right in front of her, and she had no choice but to accept it.
These soldiers had all died at the hands of their own people.
But why?
The smell of blood stung his nose, and the deathly silence was buried in the sand.
"These people!"
Lu Yu was no longer as repulsed by these tragic situations as before. He calmed down and carefully observed the situation at the scene.
Perhaps he could find more clues about that mysterious figure.
