Chapter 274

’What does it have to do with me!’

’Still saying it has nothing to do with you!’

As Gong Jiu and another were about to start scrapping again, Brother Ma and the others quickly stepped in to break it up...

The soldiers were all drunk; is this really a group?

Even like this, they are still busy arguing...

Suddenly, whoosh!

The Gate opened.

Gao Yi walked in.

’I’m saying, you all are quite comfortable here, I can hear your bickering through the wall...’

The noise of the argument quieted down, everyone’s gaze fixated on the snakes in Gao Yi’s hand, on his waist, and those following behind him...

Lots of snakes.

Everyone’s expressions twisted.

What are you doing? What is this for?

Seeing the fear in these people’s eyes, Gao Yi smiled, ’The countdown starts now. If your Professor Ye can’t solve our problems within three hours, then... these snake venoms will turn you into food for the Acacia Ants three hours from now...’

With that said, he shook off the snakes on his body, turned around, walked out the door, and the door closed.

In no time, the inside of the room resounded with a mix of angry curses and screams...

--------

In the Ancient City of Loulan, it was now high noon, with extreme temperatures and intense scorching heat, Ye Changan and Xiao Yu witnessed what it meant to see a top-tier master.

It was bizarre, just too bizarre. It was as if Sui Yi possessed the eyes of God, swiftly dodging numerous dangerous mechanisms and creatures at a terrifying speed, leading them quickly through the Ancient City of Loulan until they had arrived at a corner loft in the inner palace of the Royal Palace. Taking advantage of the shadows cast by the sunlight shining through the buildings, Ye Changan looked at Sui Yi, who was inspecting the surrounding architecture.

Although it was said that Sui Yi had a map and was familiar with some mechanisms, giving him a great advantage over them, it still shouldn’t have been to this extent; therefore, this person must possess some abilities that ordinary people do not have.

Of course, having already seen Sui Yi’s formidable swordsmanship, it was only natural for him to have more abilities. Ye Changan and her companion did not dwell on it too much, as the most important thing right now was...

’Sui Yi, we’re very close to Gong Jiu now, do you mean this side temple?’

The architecture of Loulan was different from the Royal Palace of the Central Plains, but there were also some similarities, perhaps borrowing styles from those dynasties.

However, why had Sui Yi not led them through the main entrance, but instead to the back of this building?

Sui Yi turned his head, about to speak when suddenly...

Eagle cries echoed in the sky!

No good!

It’s the Desert Flying Eagle!

The sound came from the east; it was approaching fast!

’To the trees!’

Sui Yi and Xiao Yu simultaneously grabbed Ye Changan’s arm, and with a leap, they were on a large tree nearby. The leaves rustled loudly, and in a matter of two or three breaths, the three spotted a huge eagle flying overhead through the gaps in the leaves...

Massive!

The eagle seemed to circle for a while above where they had been standing behind the building, and then, instead of leaving, it swooped down!

Could it have seen us?

A tension gripped the trio...

Soon enough, the eagle flew down right towards them...

And landed on the clearing in front of the tree.

Only now could the three see clearly how big the eagle was.

How large was that giant eagle in ’The Return of the Condor Heroes’?

This standing eagle, though perhaps not as big as that giant one, must have been about one meter sixty in height.

Its plumage was a tawny color, like Huang Sha, tinged with a bit of gold; its talons were extremely sharp, gripping the ground.

Actually, Sui Yi and the others were perplexed. The eagle didn’t seem to have noticed them, yet why had it landed here...

Could it be...

They didn’t ponder long.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a chain being pulled, and then...

Swish!

A gap opened in the earthy ground...

More precisely, a stone slab covered with a layer of earth was lifted, and a person emerged from the underground passage.

Gao Yi!

The man came up, limping with a bucket in hand, removed a small bamboo tube tied to the eagle’s claw, and took out a piece of paper inside.

After reading it, he laughed, ’Old Ghost Yang really is in a rush... He’s on the way as we speak. Alright, continue your patrol up there, and if you see those three, be sure to come back and report.’

As he spoke, he dumped the contents of the bucket onto the ground.

The scent of blood wafted through the air.

Overpoweringly.

The sight within the bucket was gory... hearts?

The Desert Flying Eagle did not have a small appetite and quickly gobbled up thirty-some hearts one after another.

Then it swiftly took off again.

Gao Yi went back down with the bucket, limping, and it wasn’t long before the door closed again.
