Chi Gou had fallen into a pit. It was on the night of the second day, when Chi Gou arrived in this desert along with the Cliff Eagle. The Cliff Eagle, whether due to hunger or fatigue, landed here and didn’t fly anymore. At that time, Chi Gou was also a bit tired. Despite being tied securely on the back of the Cliff Eagle, she didn’t dare to sleep easily.
At first, she was very afraid of heights and her legs went weak from fear. After flying for a few hours, she adapted. Moreover, she could take advantage of the sensation of the wind to carve key information on a bamboo board according to the terrain.
Only then did she have the map that she had sent back.
After the Cliff Eagle arrived at the desert, it brought Chi Gou to defeat a group of horse bandits who had appeared for no reason. Seeing that they could not win, the horse bandits immediately retreated. However, the Cliff Eagle chased after them relentlessly. In the end, the horse bandits disappeared for no reason. There was only yellow sand in front of them, and there was no trace of the horse bandits at all. When the wind blew, the hoof marks on the ground disappeared.
“Strange, where did they go? Could it be that I’m seeing things?” Chi Gou was puzzled.
However, the Cliff Eagle did not rely on its eyes to distinguish things. It walked behind a sand dune and dug with its sharp claws.
Chi Gou felt that its behavior was a little strange. Just as she walked over and was about to ask, her feet suddenly missed and she fell into a huge pit.
There was still a slope under this pit. Chi Gou did not have time to stabilize herself before she rolled forward again. She felt the world spin for a while before she started rolling again. After an unknown period of time, she finally heard a thud as she landed on the ground.
Only then did she realize that this was a huge underground s.p.a.ce. She had fallen in through a hole filled with sand. There were some daily necessities placed inside. Clearly, someone lived here.
Chi Gou instantly thought of the bandits who had suddenly disappeared. This must be the lair of the bandits.
As expected, inside the pit, Chi Gou encountered a group of horse bandits who were talking. One of them exclaimed, “What bad luck! We came across someone today with a lot of meat. We thought we could have a good meal, but little did we know it was a tough character. A few of us nearly didn’t make it out alive!” “Everyone has been a little unlucky these few months. We can only eat hay every day. It’s been a long time since we ate meat!”
“Speaking of which, it’s the same as when we met that kid previously. He ran to the Land of Death, causing us brothers to not dare to chase after him. Otherwise, if we turned that kid’s flesh into jerky, we could eat it for two days. Sigh.”
When Chi Gou heard this, she knew that these bandits were not good people. To be able to talk about eating human flesh so casually, it meant that they usually did this kind of thing a lot. Therefore, she carried her sword and entered, in no time, she resolved more than half of them.
She was skilled in martial arts and had eaten her fill on the back of the Cliff Eagle. No matter how desperate the horse bandits were, they had not eaten their fill for a long time. How could they be a match for the well-trained Chi Gou?
Chi Gou ransacked them and grabbed a few people who were begging for mercy. She asked coldly, “What do you think happened to that kid who ran into the Land of Death?”
The surviving bandits were all frightened out of their wits, so they naturally said whatever she wanted them to say. “I’ll talk, I’ll talk. Great-aunt, don’t kill me! 1 can lead the way for you!”
Hence, they brought Chi Gou to the land of death. Of course, they wanted to trick her, but Chi Gou was not stupid. She threw a few people over first and realized that they were all swallowed by the quicksand, so she did not act rashly.
The Cliff Eagle found the quicksand quite interesting and flew over. Its large wings flapped wildly, actually fanning out a large empty s.p.a.ce in the quicksand area..
