A weak and evil woman was exiled? The beastly husbands risked their lives to protect her

Chapter 644 Are they really that in sync?!

Just as they stepped into the City of Sacred Beasts, a deafening low roar came from underground.

Jiang Xinli and Yu Hanche had heard this strange sound before when they were outside the city.

Her fingers tightened. "What's that sound?"

The horned lizard beastman stopped and respectfully replied, "It's the Winged Race."

Jiang Xinli looked at him with suspicion, "Shouldn't the Winged Clan be in the sky?"

The sound clearly came from underground.

After giving a vague "hmm," the horned lizard beastman immediately changed the subject, "Esteemed guests, our place is plagued by poisonous fog at night."

"Please follow me into the inner city immediately to take refuge."

Yu Hanche gently squeezed Jiang Xinli's palm. "Let's go."

"Ah."

Upon seeing the scene inside the city, Jiang Xinli's breath caught in her throat.

The City of Sacred Beasts was far more vast than she had imagined.

The city was empty, and the number and size of the strange eyeballs on the surrounding city walls were several times greater than when they were outside.

Those cold, inorganic gazes would slowly move as they walked, staring at them like living beings.

This feeling sent chills down her spine.

Yu Hanche noticed that her breathing was slightly disordered and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Xinli pursed her lips, her body unconsciously moving closer to him.

Noticing her slight trembling, before she could react, he had already bent down and steadily lifted her into his arms.

"Hold me tight," he said.

Jiang Xinli hesitated for a moment, then reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.

The horned lizard beastman glanced at the two of them out of the corner of his eye, and when he looked at Yu Hanche, a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly and discreetly withdrew his gaze.

As she continued forward, Jiang Xinli finally realized that the entire city was built underground.

It resembles a series of enormous sinkholes, with spiral staircases leading directly underground.

"This way, gentlemen." The horned lizard beastman led the two into the deep pit in the central area. "This is the inner city, also known as the underground city."

The group stepped onto the spiral staircase.

The further down you go, the lower the temperature gets.

Compared to the barren, yellow sand outside the city, this place was surprisingly filled with lush saxaul trees.

Jiang Xinli looked at the trees, her heart filled with extreme excitement.

However, I didn't hear them speak.

When they reached the underground level, at the same level as the ground, a black energy barrier silently unfolded with a "whoosh".

It's a barrier, but the level of the superpower isn't apparent.

At the same time, a yellowish-green mist slowly spread out from outside the barrier.

The horned lizard-man breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness we made it in time."

"There's actually an oasis like this in the desert?" Jiang Xinli exclaimed, gesturing for Yu Hanche to approach one of the trees.

The man actually understood, and carried her over.

Just as they reached the tree, before Jiang Xinli could even raise her hand to touch the trunk, she saw a flicker of panic in the horned lizard beastman's eyes, and he swiftly moved to block their path.

"I'm sorry, these are sacred trees, you can't touch them."

Jiang Xinli was secretly startled: The Sacred Tree?

She gave a forced, awkward laugh and changed the subject, "By the way, is that poisonous fog there every day?"

"Yes, it has been a thousand years." The horned lizard beastman said in a heavy tone, "Fortunately, sunlight can dispel the poisonous fog."

For the past thousand years, the one thing we've had in abundance has been sunlight. We just need to hide in the underground city and wait until dawn.

After the horned lizard beastman finished speaking, he pointed to a magnificent underground palace: "Gentlemen, this way please."

Jiang Xinli frowned.

For the past thousand years, the one thing we've never lacked is sunshine.

What about a thousand years ago? Why "a thousand years ago" again?
She asked those saxaul trees the same question today.

However, since the other party may be unable to move, they may not know much about it.

Yu Hanche gently patted her, signaling her to calm down.

The group entered the underground palace.

Unlike the earthen foundation walls of the outer city, the walls of the underground palace here are constructed of extremely hard stone.

The walls are inlaid with luminous pearls for lighting and exquisite seashells made of jade-like material.

The dome is also adorned with magnificent murals.

At first glance, it exudes a classical, solemn, and understated luxury.

Every now and then you'll encounter patrols of guards.

They also encountered some people wearing black robes with totems painted on their foreheads.

Each time they met, the horned lizard beastmen and the camel guards would stop and bow slightly to each other.

Their gazes swept over Yu Hanche in unison, finally landing on Jiang Xinli, and then they bowed deeply to her.

Jiang Xinli frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Yu Hanche, only to find that, as if by telepathy, he was looking at her.

The two were already very close to each other.

Her breathing became slightly erratic, and she quickly looked away.

After walking for a long time, the horned lizardman stopped in front of a uniquely decorated palace:
"This is the room the city lord prepared for you two."

Two camel-like beastmen stepped forward and pushed open the door from the left and right.

The horned lizard-man asked, "Would you two like a meal and a bath?"

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Xinli apologetically, "I'm sorry, we are short of water here. If you need a bath, we can only prepare yours."

"No, thank you."

"Then you two should get some rest." He paused. "As for the city lord, who is also our clan leader—"

Just as Jiang Xinli was about to speak, he continued, "He only instructed me to escort the two of you into the city. If you have any questions, you will find out when you meet the city lord tomorrow."

Yu Hanche reached out and patted Jiang Xinli on the back, then nodded to the horned lizard beastman, "Thank you for your trouble."

"We will stand guard outside the door. Please let us know if you need anything." The other party bowed and then left.

The moment the door closed, Jiang Xinli immediately broke free from Yu Hanche's embrace and landed on the ground.

Yu Hanche didn't speak. He focused his mind and gathered his energy, sweeping the entire room with his spatial power, and then set up a soundproof barrier:
“Dark Lord, everything is normal inside.” His eyes darkened slightly. “But something’s not right outside.”

Jiang Xinli glanced out the window. "You noticed it too?"

She carefully observed her surroundings when she came in.

Various murals were painted on the dome of the underground palace.

Without exception, in addition to the Stone Clan, two other species appeared.

One type is a ferocious Western dragon with wings, a hooked tail, and flames that breathe fire; the black dragon is the leader.

Another type is the Eastern dragon that rides the clouds and mist, shaped like a long snake, bringing rain and clouds, with the golden dragon being the most revered.

The two sides were either locked in combat or locked in a standoff.

Yu Hanche took out a bottle of water, turned it on, and handed it to her. "The Winged Clan he mentioned should be the Evil Dragon Clan."

Jiang Xinli took a sip and said, "Jinyuan's true form in beast form is a black dragon."

Yu Hanche's eyes darkened slightly. "I just used my remaining spatial power to investigate, and there's a barrier below the underground palace that's blocking me."

Jiang Xinli was slightly stunned.

If someone can block the spatial power of Yu Hanche, their ability level must be at least rank 8 or higher.

“HOOOO——” At this moment, a deep roar came from underground again.

The ground trembled.

Jiang Xinli was startled and subconsciously stood up, but the man next to her reached out and pulled her into his arms.
