Chapter 266: Night Encounter with Ghost Soldiers
The grassy hills of the plains stretch endlessly, most places devoid of human presence. Walking among them were only a Daoist, a young girl, and a jujube-red horse.
Lady Calico purposely stayed in her human form to keep her money close, frequently reaching into her pocket to feel it.
“Who knew sheep were so expensive!”
“The people of Great Yan love to eat lamb,” the Daoist replied.
“The people of Great Yan love to eat lamb,” Lady Calico repeated, puzzled. “Why don’t they like eating rats?”
The Daoist merely smiled in silence and continued forward.
One tall and one small figure, accompanied by the jujube-red horse, sometimes climbed hills, sometimes descended slopes, and occasionally walked along the ridgeline, searching not only for a path but also for the fabled Turtle City.
It was near dusk when they finally arrived.
This area was relatively flat, with low, gently sloping hills. Faintly visible on the ground was a long, earthen-colored ridge resembling a dragon, stretching out toward a walled earthen city.
