Chapter 214: The star sign of the sky, the killing spirit, the ominous sign

Cheng Long was helpless after hearing this and sighed, "That's true. We have come all this way and it took us many lives to get to any forbidden place. If the Ancient Kingdom of Gods and Demons is so easy to find, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?"

Yang Mi rubbed her sore legs and grumbled in dissatisfaction: "But we have been walking all day and we are all exhausted. Do we have to continue walking tomorrow? I can't stand it."

Liu Tianxian looked at Yang Mi's delicate appearance and comforted her: "Don't worry, Sister Mi, we brought a large group of people this time with sufficient supplies. In comparison, the conditions are much better than before. Besides, Qiye..."

Having said this, Liu Tianxian suddenly realized that Lin Qiye was not in the tent, and was stunned.

Upon seeing this, Li Jing quickly stood up and looked outside, only to see Lin Qiye standing alone outside the camp, looking up at the starry sky, wondering what he was thinking about.

Wu Jing also noticed Lin Qiye's abnormality and said thoughtfully: "Qiye seems to have discovered something. You see, he has been staring at the night sky with a frown on his face, as if he is worried about something."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look towards Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye's eyes were fixed on a certain spot in the starry sky.

Yang Mi's heart moved and said: "Why don't I go see him? Maybe Brother Qiye has made some discoveries." Then she was about to get up and walk out.

Seeing this, Liu Tianxian quickly pulled her back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Sister Mi. Qiye always has his own ideas. If he really finds something, he will naturally tell everyone. Let's discuss tomorrow's schedule first."

After listening to this, Yang Mi looked at Qiye again, nodded and sat back.

Lin Qiye stood in front of the ruins of the ancient city, looking up at the night sky with serious eyes.

He discovered that the stars tonight were strange and very different from usual.

The stars were arranged to form a strange pattern, which was the legendary evil star pattern!
"How is this possible?" Lin Qiye muttered to himself, feeling confused and shocked.

The Tiansha constellation represents the spirit of murder and is a symbol of evil.

It is really incredible that such a rare phenomenon appeared above the ancient city deep in the desert.

"Could it be that this ancient city has some connection with the ancient country of Shensha?" Lin Qiye frowned, and countless speculations flashed through his mind.

But he quickly shook his head and denied it, "No, that's not right. If there is a connection, I should have noticed it with my mental power. But this ancient city is well preserved and there is nothing unusual about it."

Just as Lin Qiye was lost in thought, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

He subconsciously looked back and saw a petite figure walking towards him. It was none other than Liu Tianxian.

"Qiye, why are you here alone? Have you discovered anything?" Liu Tianxian asked with concern, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

When Lin Qiye saw that it was her, his expression eased a little, and he sighed softly: "Nothing, I'm just a little concerned about the stars in the night sky. How is your discussion going? Have you decided on tomorrow's schedule?"

Liu Tianxian nodded and whispered: "Let's continue to move deeper into the desert as planned. We all still have the energy and are ready." As she spoke, she couldn't help but look up at the night sky that Lin Qiye had been staring at, but she only saw a sky full of stars and nothing unusual.

"Qi Ye, are you too sensitive? I see everything in the starry sky is normal, what's strange?" Liu Tianxian asked with some confusion.

Lin Qiye smiled bitterly, rubbed his temple and said: "Maybe, after staying in the forbidden area for a long time, I always feel that everything is weird. Maybe I am worrying too much."

Upon hearing this, Liu Tianxian couldn't help but hold Lin Qiye's hand and comforted him softly: "Don't think too much, we are here. No matter what happens, we can face it together. Let's go back to the tent and rest. We will be busy tomorrow."

Lin Qiye felt the warmth coming from his palms, and a warm current surged through his heart.

He nodded and followed Liu Tianxian towards the camp.

But I couldn't help but glance towards the night sky again.
Lin Qiye tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

He always felt that something was about to happen, but he couldn't put his finger on it. It was not until the east was already bright and the morning light was fading that Lin Qiye reluctantly closed his eyes.

"Qiye, Qiye! Get up quickly, everyone is ready!" Liu Tianxian's voice sounded outside the tent, waking Lin Qiye from his light sleep.

Lin Qiye opened his eyes, only to feel dizzy and weak all over.

He forced himself to be strong, quickly washed up, put on his backpack and walked out of the tent.

Inside the camp, hundreds of soldiers were busy among the tents.

Wu Jing and Li Jing were directing everyone to dismantle the tents and pack their luggage.

Yang Mi and Cheng Long were feeding the camels, preparing for departure.

Seeing Lin Qiye approaching, Wu Jing hurried forward and whispered: "Qiye, something happened last night. Two soldiers left the camp in the middle of the night and haven't returned yet. We looked around but couldn't find any trace of them."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye frowned and his expression became serious.

Leaving camp in the heart of the desert is tantamount to seeking death.

Unless they find something unusual.

"Send someone to search in the direction they left, and notify me immediately if they find them." Lin Qiye said.

Although he didn't want to delay the journey, he couldn't take the safety of everyone in the team lightly.

Wu Jing nodded and immediately arranged for people to start the search.

But after waiting for nearly an hour, there was still no news from the two soldiers. Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.

Just then, a commotion was heard from the crowd.

A soldier stumbled over with a pale face, trembling all over, and could not even speak clearly: "Report! I found the bodies of Captain Li and Adjutant Zhao on the west side of the ancient city!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene exploded!
The soldiers were talking among themselves, their voices mixed with fear and anxiety.

"Corpse? What's going on?" Li Jing asked sternly.

"Their bodies were sucked dry, their skin was torn and flesh was exposed, it was a horrible sight. There were large patches of blood on the surrounding sand, as if they had been through a fierce battle," the soldier said tremblingly, his eyes full of fear.

Everyone gasped and their faces changed drastically after hearing this.

"Take me to see it." Lin Qiye said in a deep voice.

He had to check out this bizarre situation himself.

The soldier's face turned even paler when he heard this, but he did not dare to disobey Lin Qiye's order and led the way reluctantly.

Wu Jing and Li Jing followed closely behind, looking around vigilantly.

Not long after walking, a fishy smell hit me in the face, which was pungent and unpleasant.

Everyone covered their mouths and noses and continued to move forward, and soon they saw the horrific scene.

I saw two bodies lying crookedly in a pool of blood, their skin was pale and shriveled, as if all the blood had been sucked out.

The most terrifying thing is that their facial features are distorted, their eye sockets are sunken, and they look as hideous and terrifying as evil spirits!
