Starting from Kenese, a few rivers and oases appeared in the desert.
This does not mean that the living environment in the desert is very good. The heat and heat still exist. These rivers and oases were all found by the legendary Scarash.
The sniper-shooting madman walked side by side with Lin Luo, sleeping on the back of his Scarash with his back to the sky, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, crossed his legs and smiled:
"Hehehe, fortunately we have the legendary Skalaush. This creature is the source of life in Shurima. Generally, the epic Skalalash can only sense very small water pools or green spaces, but boss, yours is the source of life in Shurima.
It’s different, just take us to the river directly, it will be much more convenient to replenish our energy, and it can also replenish energy for the Scarashes.”
The water source in Shurima is different from the water in other large areas. The power of the sun absorbed by the sun disk gives strength to the earth and lakes. The water resources here are extremely rare consumables and epic medicines that can directly restore players.
and the energy value of pet mounts.
It's just that this thing can only be used in Shurima, because the retention period is only one calendar day, basically it can be used on the same day, and it cannot be traded as a commodity in the market.
Taliya raised her neck in the blazing sunshine, looked into the distance and said:
"We're almost there. It looks like this route will first enter the cities around the Shurima Tombs. That's not bad."
The group continued to walk through the desert, and they continued to walk south along the winding river.
The Sniper Maniac is indeed a Shurima psychic. He is very familiar with the humanities and landscape of this continent. It is said that the locals of Shurima call this river the mother of life. The source of the river is said to come from ancient Shurima.
The capital of the Rhima Empire.
The legendary source of water that appeared out of thin air in the desert seems to have come from here.
It was clear that the sun was shining brightly along the way, but the sniper maniac was so excited and salivating that the long journey did not seem boring at all.
Cat Tou clicked his tongue and said:
"Qian Niu, this is the first time I've met someone who's better than me."
Lin Luo laughed and cursed:
"It's rare for you to be self-aware."
Taliyah quietly watched everyone talking and did not speak. Instead, she looked at the place she was about to go to, the capital of Shurima, Vikoula.
It is said that the city has been mostly buried in the yellow sand overflowing from the Dasai Desert.
Many people even think that the current Wekaura is at best a tribal camp built on an abandoned old city, a place for travelers and planeswalkers to rest.
Around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the group arrived at Weikaola.
This was once the capital of the Shurima Empire, and it was also the place with the most developed economy, culture, and military strength in Shurima.
Unfortunately, after the explosion of the solar disk further to the west, the nearest Wekaura was affected and was almost destroyed.
At any rate, now that the desert emperor has been resurrected, people are beginning to realize that Vikoula was once rich.
And with the efforts of that emperor, Wikaula has been developed again. Although it is far from its original glory, it can still be considered relatively developed.
The market in the city is drowned in color and noise, the air is filled with strong smells, and the arched canvas awnings next to each other almost cover the entire street.
Lin Luo and Taliyah were walking on the street. As they looked around, the sound of fierce bargaining, mixed with the pungent smell of spices and barbecue, could be heard everywhere.
Taliyah completely ignored the vendors' self-promotion and their pleas for the livelihood of the young and old in the family. She struggled to squeeze her way through the crowd. Someone even grabbed her robe with one hand and pulled her to a stall to sell.
They were all disgusting common pests in the desert, and they were scared away by the sniper maniac who pointed his crossbow at his head.
It was obviously not the first time for the sniper-shooting maniac to come to this place, and he said sweetly:
"What a shame, these are all people who buy and sell by force. The last time I came here, I was forcefully stuffed with a piece of black sand cake and asked for a piece of gold thread. What a black-hearted businessman."
Gold thread and gold leaf are the special currencies of the ancient Shurima royal family, symbolizing noble status.
A gold brick can be exchanged for half a gold wire, and a gold wire can be exchanged for a gold leaf.
Although the quality is different, the latter is made with special manufacturing processes and magical runes, and has a monetary value certified by the Shurima Empire.
Lin Luo didn't pay attention to these details and looked towards the distance of the broad street. Hundreds of people were crowded on the broad street leading to the ruined city wall. A wizened old man who looked like a wise man sat under the porch and smoked a pipe. The fragrant smoke
The air is steaming like mist.
Taliyah also stared at the scene, and she spoke:
"These old people are the elders and priests of the ancient Shurima tribe. Even though they are shriveled up, their explosive power is not that bad."
Lin Luo glanced at her:
"So you're here to find them?"
Taliyah nodded:
"I know most of the symbols of these tribes, including Babei, Zagaya and Yeshenye... I have never seen a few other than them, but as far as I know, after I left Su
During the time of Rhima, these tribes could be said to be sworn enemies, but they sat together peacefully like comrades on the battlefield."
Lin Luo shook his eyebrows:
"It seems that many things have changed since you left,"
Taliyah nodded:
"Yes, who would have thought that the desert emperor who had fallen for thousands of years would be resurrected. This is really unimaginable."
Lin Luo was silent for a while. At this time, he suddenly asked a treasonous question. At least in Shurima, this question was enough to be called treasonous.
"Taliyah."
Lin Luo looked at her calmly:
"My question now, I hope you can answer me truthfully. Can you really confirm that the desert emperor from thousands of years ago has been resurrected? I mean, you have seen it with your own eyes, not hearsay."
Although this sentence is rebellious, it is extremely harsh.
Taliyah's calm eyes suddenly trembled, and then she closed her eyes, seeming to calm down her emotions:
"I'm sorry...I...I don't know the answer, but I heard others say..."
"Listen to what others say? Can you judge this kind of thing just by listening to what others say? That is the emperor of Shurima, the ascended god. This is related to the fate of the entire Shurima and the fate of the people you want to change and save.
, you said you just listened to what others said?"
Lin Luo's tone was not harsh, but a little quick, because it was also related to the subsequent development of the Hero Legion.
Whether the Desert Emperor is truly alive or dead is very important, so important that it determines his next plan.
"Sorry... I really can't be sure, so this is the purpose of my coming here."
Taliyah took a deep breath, raised her head and said:
"But what I can be sure of is that even if the Desert Emperor has not really been resurrected, his incarnation, or will, has arrived in Shurima. This is the information that Weaver Mother told me. I can swear on my life!"
Lin Luo thought for a while and finally agreed with this sentence.
Judging from his experience in Shurima for so long, the return of Taliyah, the guidance of the Weaver Mother, the reconstruction of Vikoula, and the union of these tribes...
All of this points to the fact that the desert emperor has indeed returned, or has 'appeared'.
But what Lin Luo can be sure of is that the desert emperor has not really returned to the world. Otherwise, Kenese would not be safe and sound, and it is impossible that many of the city-states they have experienced before have not yet been conquered.
And the most important thing is that the Desert Emperor controls the legendary most powerful golden armored ascended legion. He is the most powerful legion in Rune Land and can even provoke the gods!
But so far, Lin Luo still hasn't seen the Ascension Legion, not even an ordinary soldier.
[Tip: You have come to the capital of Shurima - Vikoula, and you have activated the rare achievement: the adventurer closest to the truth]
[Task description: During the long journey to Shurima, you gradually began to doubt the resurrection of the Desert Emperor. You were almost certain that the Desert Emperor was not really resurrected, but you secretly sensed that there was indeed a divine power gradually rising.
Powerful, the mystery in this is finally solved, please continue to explore carefully.】
[Task Reward 2: You will obtain favorability of the Desert Emperor Faction: 1000 points]
[Task reward 3: Your character’s energy value will be permanently increased: 50 points]
Not surprisingly, Lin Luo still triggered the system's task, which showed that his guess was correct.
"So Taliyah, what should we do next? Since we have the guidance of Weaver Mother, it will be more effective than us headless flies running around, right?"
Lin Luo asked Taliyah.
The latter gritted his teeth and said:
"According to the guidance of Mother Weaver, we are going to the Shurima Tomb immediately. There is definitely a huge secret hidden in it... However, that place is very dangerous and the living environment is extremely harsh. We must prepare enough water and food...
In order to go to that place, the water of life in Vicoula can be stored for a long time, and it is something that must be prepared before entering the tomb."
Lin Luo nodded and saw Taliya entering the market quickly.
Less than a moment later, the crude satchel on Taliyah's shoulder was filled with food, including bacon, oats, bread and cheese, plus two skins of water. This was water of life, with a shelf life of a full month.
Long, these amounts far exceed her needs. After all, they are not for her alone. Lin Luo and others also need them very much.
Lin Luo looked at Taliyah and saw that there was not much gold thread embroidered on her robe. She was clearly an extremely powerful legendary hero, but she was poor and pitiful. She was just like his teacher Yasuo, the swift swordsman. He was really worthy of it.
They are people of the same lineage.
"It's ready, we can go."
Taliyah took back the big and small bags, and Lin Luo took the initiative to help her share some.
"The Shurima Tombs are an extremely dangerous place. Ancient pharaohs and emperors are buried in them, which means inexhaustible terrifying wealth. Therefore, it is a paradise for bounty hunters and plunderers. We not only have to face the tombs
Despite our own terrifying existence, we must always be wary of these hidden enemies.”
Taliyah took Lin Luo and others away from Vicoula, and after climbing up to Skalas, Lin Luo activated the ultra-long-distance vision from a high place, and saw majestic buildings similar to pyramids standing dozens of kilometers away.
In fact, compared to the real pyramids, the pyramid tombs in Shurima appear taller, more terrifying, and unusually grand.
After all, in this rune land full of extraordinary power, if the original demigods wanted to build a mausoleum, they would naturally make a big fanfare.
There are two of these pyramids in total. The larger pyramid is engraved with symbols that Lin Luo does not recognize. It has reached a terrifying height of more than 14,000 meters. This is simply not a glorious feat that can be accomplished by human beings. Even
Even the top technology of Twin Cities cannot be realized.
Only the legendary gods can do this!
Even if they are only demigods, they have entered the divine level. The methods of these gods can be called miraculous and miraculous, and cannot be judged from a scientific perspective.
And the height alone reaches more than 14,000 meters. It is impossible to imagine the area of the pyramid. Even if Lin Luo activates the ultra-long sight range, he cannot see that the area of a pyramid is at least several hundred square kilometers.
"That's the Alton Pyramid Mausoleum, which is connected to the adjacent Rosen Pyramid Tomb. The former buries every generation of desert emperors, while the latter buries those powerful Ascended Ones, including the Pharaoh, Grand Bachelor, and the Commander of the Ascended Legion.
…They are all people with terrible identities.”
Taliyah spoke:
"What we need to do now is to directly enter the Alton Pyramid Tomb. I don't know what we will encounter, but this is the path guided by Weaver Mother... We may encounter difficult enemies, so you must be mentally prepared.
"
Lin Luo smiled and looked at Tata Maotou:
"Don't worry, those guys in the pyramid should be mentally prepared."
After packing his bags, Lin Luo led the team towards the Pyramid Tomb and arrived at the destination about an hour later.
Compared to the pyramid, Lin Luo called it an ancient giant mountain, but this giant mountain was created by divine power.
And not surprisingly, during these thousands of years of history, due to the existence of tomb robbers and bounty hunters, tombs have been dug out one after another at the bottom of this glorious and magnificent pyramid, and there are densely packed corpses in them.
"For the few corpses in the pyramid tomb, how many new corpses have been added out of thin air over the past thousand years, endless and endless, all starting from the greed in people's hearts... There are not many gold and silver treasures buried in the Shurima tomb.
, but the terrible greed, the devil that has seduced generations..."
Taliyah stood quietly under the pyramid tomb, as small as an invisible speck of dust.
She slowly knelt down outside the Shurima Tomb, performing the primitive worship rituals of tribal travelers.
"Bless us, Mother Weaver. Children of Shurima step into the tomb, just looking for traces of the ancient emperor. My friends and I will not disturb the rest of the deceased, nor will we be tempted by treasures. Mother Weaver will protect me,
May the will of the desert not be blamed..."
After completing these rituals, Lin Luo saw the Shurima Tomb in front of him suddenly light up.
In the dark passage leading to the depths of the mausoleum directly in front, burning lights suddenly lit up, as if there were really sleeping gods, acquiescing to Taliyah's entry.
Taliyah's expression suddenly became excited:
"Great! The sleeping gods have agreed to our entry, quickly, quickly, now!"
