When Chen Hao led the team members out of the hotel, the streets were filled with people kneeling and praying.
In the past, residents would have accepted a demon appearing to kill someone, rob someone, etc. But now that the sun has disappeared, the problem has become serious.
The sun is the source of life for all things, and people may even directly lose their desire for survival.
In fact, it is not that the sun has disappeared. It is now hanging high in the sky, and people can still see its outline.
But it no longer shines, no longer illuminates the earth with its own light.
All that is left to people is that outline.
"Could this be a solar eclipse?" Kane said, stroking his beard.
"It's a solar eclipse, but it's man-made." Chen Hao looked at the gray sky and replied calmly.
"Man-made? Chen Hao, do you know something? I suggest you ask Zhuo Genan about this matter. He is also your mage in Vizjerei. I think his advice will be useful to you."
Chen Hao went on adventures outside for a few days, and Kane also met many celebrities in the city under the name Horadrim.
"There's no need to look for him, I know what's going on."
After calming down, Chen Hao snapped his fingers and said, "Let's go, let's teleport directly to the oasis now!"
"Chen Hao, it all depends on you!" Kane said from behind, "I'm waiting for your good news in the city!"
"When the sun comes out in the sky, you will know that I succeeded." Chen Hao waved his hand and did not look back.
In the teleportation station, without saying a word, Chen Hao gave the guard a large sum of gold coins and teleported everyone directly to a distant oasis.
After walking out of the desolate teleportation station, Chen Hao immediately asked, "Mi Shan, I remember there was a city here in the oasis, right?"
"That's right." Mishan nodded, "There was indeed a city here before. But a few decades ago, because the water resources in the oasis dried up, the residents living here also moved out. In the end, only ruins were left here."
"Then do you know how to get to that city?"
"Well...if the landscape here hasn't changed much, I should be able to find it!"
"That's enough, let's set off now!"
Chen Hao's words were an order, and Wolfgang and Mi Shan led the way towards the lost city.
"Chen Hao, what is going on?" Kasha asked curiously along the way, "Aren't we going to solve the solar eclipse? What does this have to do with the lost city?"
"When I was on the street before, I heard two people on the other side talking about each other, saying that last night he spotted two suspicious people entering the city, and saw giant snake-like creatures gathering together somewhere in the city, carrying out a murderous act.
There are some mysterious rituals. He also said that these rituals may be related to some evil magic."
"If that's the case, then everything fits together."
"I happen to know that there is a kind of snake people in the desert. This type of snake people also has a temple. They are quite capable. I think we will find the answer there."
"Wow! Brother Chen Hao, you are so awesome and know so much!" The little Loli beside her had stars in her eyes. Chen Hao was the person she admired most in her life.
"Hehe, of course I am awesome! Daisy, don't you think so?"
Female Roger turned back and looked at Chen Hao deeply. She wanted to hold on to the javelin in her hand, but found that she couldn't hold it no matter how hard she held it.
I "rubbed" Chen Hao's back for a long time last night, and my wrists are still a little sore.
...
This area is very large, and through the light of torches and some dead plants, Chen Hao and others can still see the prosperity of this place in the past.
As everyone went deeper into the hinterland of the oasis, ruins appeared in front of everyone.
"This is the city." Miyama pointed to the ruins and introduced. "Where should we go next?"
"Snake Canyon." Chen Hao calmly said a place name, "According to the Horadrim scroll instructions, there should be a temple of sharp-clawed vipers there."
"Snake Canyon?" Mi Shan thought about the name for a while, "Sorry, Mr. Chen Hao, I only heard about it when I was young, but I have never been there. In fact, just hearing this name will tell that people who have been there
It should be very few."
"In that case, let's look for it bit by bit." Chen Hao shrugged, "But fortunately, Kane taught me a trick before leaving. With this skill, we may get twice the result with half the effort."
In this boundless desert, everyone shuttled among the ruins and searched for it for a long time.
Although there is no scorching sunshine, the cold erosion is not something ordinary people can endure.
Every time he went camping, Chen Hao had to hug Sister Rogge's body tightly to sleep peacefully.
...
"Diana, are you thirsty?" After searching for who knows how many days, Chen Hao, out of boredom, raised the kettle and took a deep sip, then stuffed it into the hands of the little Loli beside him.
"Gudududu~~~" Little Loli picked up Chen Hao's water bottle and drank directly.
Chen Hao held the little Loli and sat on Wangcai's back. He put a long wooden board behind his fist for Kasha and Daisy to sit on and rest.
Mishan, Wolfgang and Hall stepped on the sand with one foot deep and the other shallow. Not far away, they could still hear the sound of Xiaohong shouting "Lakanixiu" after having fun.
Suddenly, Mi Shan, who was walking at the front, stopped and pointed to the sandy land not far from your house: "There is a dune lizard there."
Following Mishan's hand, everyone saw a sudden depression in the sand, forming a sand line about twenty feet long.
There was a line of dark red spots at the end of the sand line. Even Chen Hao could see that it was a pool of blood.
Everyone was about to get around, but Xiao Hong rushed over happily.
"Lakanixiu(*^▽^*)!"
As soon as they rushed to the sand line, an earthy-colored lizard head suddenly jumped out of the sand. This dune long-tailed lizard had huge teeth and claws like a dragon, and it looked like it could easily tear Xiaohong in half.
However, Xiao Hong's quick speed allowed him to dodge the lizard's attack in an instant. After rushing to the other side, Xiao Hong instantly cut off the two scimitars in his hands. As soon as the cold and poisonous effects of the scimitars came out, the poor lizard was struck down.
It can only become fish meat on everyone's chopping board.
"Oh, Xiaohong, you are so naughty, I told you not to run around!"
After the battle, Chen Hao pointed at Xiaohong's nose and complained.
"But Brother Chen Hao, doesn't Xiaohong only listen to your command?" the little Lolita in her arms revealed ruthlessly.
"Uh... cough, cough, cough, sometimes, sometimes... you know, the devil! There are always two days a month where he has a bad temper and is out of my control..." Chen Hao was still trying to explain.
"Like Sister Daisy?" Little Loli asked again.
"Yes, just like your sister Daisy..."
"Whoosh!"
Before Chen Hao could finish speaking, a javelin suddenly flew out and stuck in the sand at Wangcai's feet.
Looking at Daisy's blushing face, Chen Hao closed his mouth.
After the other party turned his head away, Chen Hao leaned close to Diana's ear and asked quietly: "Girl, tell me the truth, when did your sister Daisy spend those days?"
...
Everyone searched for it for a long time, and in the end, even fighting became a luxury.
At the very least, when fighting, they can encounter new living creatures, which can make their blood boil and feel the existence of their own lives, instead of just machines that they only know how to find in the desert.
Finally, deep in a ruins, Mi Shan found a narrow path.
Not long after crossing the trail, everyone was attacked by a group of sharp-clawed vipers, and none of these vipers appeared in the previous ruins.
"It seems we have found it." Chen Hao nodded, "This is the Snake Canyon."
"Then what? Where is the temple?" Kaisha asked.
"Keep looking!" Chen Hao raised his eyebrows and encouraged, "Specially choose places with buildings, even ruins! If those vipers can really cast black magic, the trick Kane taught me should be used.
effect."
"Well, I hope I can find that damn temple sooner this time!" Kasha shook her head, leaned back, and leaned on the back of her fist.
After several days of searching, Chen Hao found something on a sand dune that might be what everyone was looking for.
Two columns protruded from the sand in the distance, like jagged teeth. The tops of the "teeth" seemed to have been cut off by some extraordinary force.
Chen Hao jumped off Wangcai's back and ran along the slope of the sand toward the cylinder.
"Lord Chen Hao, be careful!"
Seeing the sharp-clawed vipers pouring out from all directions, Mi Shan was the first to rush forward with a spear.
Not only vipers, but also dark beetles, thirsters, and the large lizards encountered before, as well as some spear cats that jump on the sand and throw spears. This seems to be their nest, or they arrange for prey.
trap.
The moment Chen Hao's boots stepped into this territory, these monsters immediately jumped out of the bunker and rushed towards Chen Hao.
Everyone in the lawn mowing team seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and each one used their strongest skills to face the enemy.
But Chen Hao stood there as if possessed, staring straight at the ruins buried in the sand in front of him.
Humans and demons formed a semi-arc to protect Chen Hao in the middle, keeping those hateful desert monsters out of the circle.
"If you encounter some strange ruins, don't rush past them. If you don't look deeply, you may be confused by its appearance." Chen Hao looked at the stone pillars in the distance and remembered what Kane had said to him.
.
"It is recorded in the Horadrim book that there is a magic shield that can protect the storage room. If the caster's ability is strong and the sacrifice materials and energy are rich enough, this magic shield can even hide a palace or a palace.
It’s a mausoleum.”
"If everything is normal, those cylinders cannot be found; if you can see those cylinders, it means that its protective effect has weakened."
Become weaker?
Why has it become weaker?
Did you use all the energy to seal the sun?
Chen Hao didn't plan to think about this, but reached into the storage space and started rummaging around.
Quickly, he took out an amber lens and put it in the sun.
Looking up at the sky, Chen Hao snapped his fingers: "Wolfgang, come here."
"What's the matter? Lord Chen Hao?" After repelling the sand jumper in front of him, Wolfgang quickly came to Chen Hao's side.
"Borrow a fire!"
"What?" The Paladin looked confused.
"Holy light bullet!" Chen Hao gestured, "The bigger the better, but don't release it."
"OK."
After receiving the exact instructions, the paladin raised the scepter in his hand, converted the mana into holy light, and gathered it on the gem at the top of the scepter.
"Brighter! Brighter!"
It wasn't until the paladin's temples began to sweat and the hand holding the scepter began to tremble that Chen Hao looked at the ruins through the amber lens.
"Well, it's almost done."
Chen Hao nodded and whispered a few words, which were the spells Kane taught him to activate the perspective lenses.
"Brother Chen Hao, what are you doing?" After solving the group of sand monsters in front of her, the little Loli came to Chen Hao and asked curiously.
"Here, take it and see for yourself. But be quick, before the magic of this lens disappears."
Little Loli took the lens and placed it in front of her right eye, closed her left eye and held her breath.
"Use the holy light and aim the lens between the two cylinders..." Chen Hao gently guided from the side.
"Oh my god! It's incredible!" Behind the lens, the little Loli opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth wide.
Looking through the lens, the world in the lens is a light orange, as if it had just been burned by fire.
What appeared in front of us was no longer ruins, but a magnificent building. It was surrounded by wasteland, with only two columns in the middle that looked like an entrance.
More extremely corroded pillars were inserted in front of the columns. They should have been the gates of this temple.
Broken walls are scattered everywhere, and it can be imagined that this place has experienced hundreds or even thousands of years of decay.
Chen Hao took the lenses back and watched these scenes again before the magic disappeared, imprinting them deeply in his mind.
When he retracted the lens, the only two cylinders that could be seen with the naked eye were the two cylinders.
"Brother Chen Hao, are we really going there?" Little Loli asked worriedly.
"Are you scared?"
Chen Hao touched Diana's head, and the little girl shrank her neck, like a kitten.
"Diana is not afraid!" After Chen Hao withdrew his hand, the little Loli stiffened her neck and said loudly, "Wherever Brother Chen Hao goes, Diana will follow him. Even if it is hell, Diana is not afraid! No.
!Harm! Bang!!!”
"Haha, I knew my girl was very brave!" Chen Hao grabbed Diana's armpits, picked her up and spun her around.
The search for more than half a month made the team lead a monotonous life every day. Although everyone said nothing, they were still very angry in their hearts.
But now, when Chen Hao finally found the goal of his trip, all the resentment he had accumulated was gone.
Before Wolfgang on the side could react, Chen Hao slid down the slope with Diana in his arms and slid to the vicinity of the column.
Before the two of them fell into the shadows, Chen Hao turned back and looked at Wolfgang who looked nervous.
"Come on, Wolfgang! Why are you still standing there?" Chen Hao stood up, patted the sand on his butt, pointed at the temple in front of him and said: "It is in front of us now, do you still want one?"
