The sky regained its light, and the surrounding sand was covered with streaks. These were the traces left behind after the tornado swept through, twisting like a vortex.
The strange sand monsters began to regroup, and the chaotic and twisted feeling emerged again.
The chaotic laws that had briefly subsided due to the sandstorm gathered together again, and strange oases, lakes, and villas emerged one after another, and the entire desert turned into a beautiful prairie.
"The nature of chaos is getting worse."
When Zhu Youji saw this scene, he frowned slightly and murmured.
The overlapping fantasies become more and more real, indicating that the danger hidden within them becomes more and more terrifying.
"But where do these mirages come from?"
Looking at these scenery, Zhu Youji had another guess in his mind.
"Perhaps these pictures come from the time and space of Xiaoli and Pixiu."
"If it is a fantasy generated by strange rules, it should be chaotic, deformed, and twisted."
"It's just like the laws here, upside down, twisted left and right, full of evil and madness."
"And the mirage that emerged was obviously complete and normal, which is very strange."
Zhu Youji actually originally speculated about the origin of the Lost Desert, which was the ruins of the God War.
Because the war between the gods shattered this time and space, making this desert space unstable, there was a crazy scene of upside down and left and right swapping.
But according to the inference just made, the Lost Desert may be the junction of several major worlds. Because of the folding of space, the laws are chaotic.
"Xiao Li, can you and Pi Xiu identify whether the scene in the mirage comes from your time and space?" Zhu Youji conveyed the words to Xiao Li and Pi Xiu with a thought.
Xiao Li took advantage of the moment when everyone stood up and emerged from the Tears of the Goddess, holding a palm-sized little Pixiu in his hand.
After identification of one person and one animal, an indistinguishable answer was given.
Little Pixiu turned back into a copper ball, and Xiao Li put her away.
"Count!"
Each team began to report and count their own numbers.
"one!"
"two!"
…
"thirty!"
The last member of Xuantianwei was about to shout "Qi Qi" when his face suddenly changed, and the words in his mouth turned into a slightly frightened voice: "One more... one more person."
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding Xuantian guards looked warily at their teammates, their eyes full of suspicion and hostility, as if anyone might be the weird person.
Xuantian Guard Team Captain Zhao Heng also changed his expression and immediately ordered: "Everyone, keep a distance of one meter. No one is allowed to move without my order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Upon hearing Zhao Heng's instructions, the well-trained Xuantian guards silently distanced themselves, and no one moved.
Zhao Heng looked at the thirty teammates and began to carefully identify the appearance of each one, looking for the extra person.
Princess Zhenyuan frowned slightly when she saw this scene. What she was most worried about had happened.
Long before entering the dangerous zone, Princess Zhenyuan asked about the types of changes and chaos and what specific dangers would arise.
One of them is the mutant sand monster.
It is different from ordinary sand monsters. It has the ability to change its own appearance and can quietly transform into any person, or some kind of animal or plant.
In the chaotic and evil environment, the most terrifying thing is this mutated sand monster.
They may not have strong combat power, but they can quietly replace anyone, guide them in secret, and make the entire adventure team lost.
This is also the reason why Zhu Youji asked all the team members to count and left half of them.
The more people explore, the more difficult it is to manage, and the easier it is to be impersonated by mutated sand monsters, causing the entire team to lose their way and become food for the lost desert.
"Is there anything unusual about your team?" Zhu Youji looked at Yuxi and asked.
Yuxi glanced at Gao Gao, saw him nodded, and then replied: "The number of people is normal."
"It's better to check. In the sandstorm just now, there was no visibility between each other. If someone disappears and is replaced by a mutated sand monster, it will be difficult for us to detect it. There are also dragon-blooded camels. We must also count them to ensure no problem."
No matter when and where, necessary caution is a prerequisite for safety.
Although Zhu Youji is not worried about the mutant sand monster replacing his own people, since the two teams are following him, Zhu Youji feels that such unnecessary sacrifices should be avoided as much as possible.
Of course, if they don't listen, Zhu Youji won't force them.
Anyway, there are only four people on his side. Xiao Li and Long Kui can hide in the corresponding artifacts. Only one worker, Ding Xiu, is left. Zhu Youji has left some marks on him to ensure that he will not get lost.
Therefore, it is impossible for the mutant sand monster to replace him.
"Okay, I will identify it myself." Gao Gao agreed with Zhu You's extremely cautious attitude. This is the attitude of a reasonable adventurer leader.
"Yeah." Zhu Youji hummed softly and turned his attention to the Xuantian Guard team again.
After Zhao Heng's identification, soon after the two yellow sands were swept away, the team members with very similar looks and gray heads were singled out.
"Captain, I am serious, you have to believe me!"
"Captain, he is fake, I am the real one."
"Fart, you fake!!"
"You are the fake, you are, you are, you are!!"
The two team members looked at each other angrily and cursed. No matter their voices, appearance, or movements, they were exactly the same, without any difference.
"Haha, is the Monkey King real or fake?" When Zhu Youji saw this scene, he suddenly remembered a plot he had seen in his previous life. The originally weird and evil atmosphere made him feel a little funny for no reason at this moment.
"That's enough, shut up, everyone, it's so noisy!" Zhao Heng's veins popped out and he shouted to stop the quarrel between the two.
"You two, tell me some secrets that only you know, secrets that can prove your identity, and then let me judge who is true and who is false."
Zhao Heng came up with a method. This chapter has been completed!
