Hearing the words of the old tour guide, Su Lingyue unconsciously recalled a book she had read.
In that book, there are detailed records of the civilizations that mankind has experienced up to the present.
There was a written record in it.
In the African country of Egypt, countless civilized cities have been born.
There have been many dynasties that were once top tier.
Later, due to various changes, the desert gradually eroded this land.
The dynasty was forced to move and develop towards the banks of the Nile River, where the water and soil were fertile.
As time went by, those original magnificent buildings gradually disappeared into the boundless desert.
Just now Mu Yi said that the desert flower represents blood, cruelty, and darkness.
I'm afraid it's also because, no matter how prosperous or glorious a dynasty once was, it was always built on the bloody methods of those in power.
"Old sir, you haven't answered me yet. What is the use of desert flowers?"
Murong Wan'er didn't think about it that much.
This girl is a fan of martial arts. As for historical documents and the like, she rarely reads them.
"Haha, then I don't know!"
"Some people say that the desert flower represents endless energy. If you can get it, you can have great strength."
"Some people also say that the desert flower represents bad luck. If anyone sees it, something bad will happen."
"Some people say that the Flower of Death carries the most vicious curse of the pharaohs or high priests in the past..."
Curse of the Pharaoh or High Priest!
Many girls looked at each other.
It happened that a gust of cool breeze blew, and it felt a bit eerie.
Regarding the curses of the Pharaohs in history, the most famous one belongs to the Curse of the Pharaohs of the current pyramids.
It is said that in the deep tomb passage of the Egyptian pyramid, a solemn and majestic mantra is engraved:
Whoever disturbs the peace of the Pharaoh will have the wings of death descend on his head.
People once thought that the purpose of carving this kind of curse on the tomb passage was to scare the tomb robbers and prevent the pharaoh and the treasures in the tomb from being robbed.
With the rise of modern archeology, many Western scholars and explorers came to Egypt to excavate ancient ruins, but they did not take this seriously.
However, what has happened one after another for more than a century has forced those daring people to be afraid of the Pharaoh's spell.
Anyone who enters the Pharaoh's tomb treasures, whether they are explorers, tomb robbers or others.
Most of them soon contracted incurable diseases or died inexplicably due to accidents.
People had to suspect that this was the Pharaoh's spell manifesting itself.
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's all go back and rest. Be careful not to run around at night!"
It was almost nine o'clock when I saw the fuss.
Su Lingyue stood up first.
After running in the desert for an afternoon, everyone was a little tired.
Thinking that there was still half a day's journey tomorrow, everyone returned to their tents one after another.
It was late at night, and everyone fell asleep one after another.
In the entire small oasis, only David and a dozen of his men were keeping vigilant vigil.
Lu Tianlong didn't sleep, lying on his back in the tent, thinking about what happened in the past few days.
"Tianlong, are you asleep?"
Outside the tent, there was suddenly a sound of slight footsteps.
Then Li Linglong's voice sounded.
"No, come in!"
Lu Tianlong turned over and sat up. His current tent was big enough to accommodate four or five people.
However, in order to avoid disturbing him, everyone still let him sleep here by himself.
Li Linglong opened the tent curtain and walked in.
His face was a little red from the night wind in the desert.
At the same time, a cool breeze from outside was brought in.
"Cover yourself with a blanket to keep warm."
Lu Tianlong motioned for her to sit next to him.
The two of them sat cross-legged on the mat and covered their legs with a blanket, which could somewhat relieve the coldness of the desert night.
"If the previous investigation is correct, Artus and the three thousand demon army should be nearby!"
Li Linglong took out the map, spread it flat between the two of them, pointed to a location on it and said softly.
It was this oasis where they were.
Previously, His Highness Gru and Li Linglong used various connections to try to find out the whereabouts of Artus and the three thousand demon army.
Everyone analyzed it first.
Artus is going to resurrect the 3,000-strong demon army, and there will definitely be a lot of commotion at that time.
It would be very difficult for a force of 3,000 people to remain unnoticed if it appeared in an urban area.
Therefore, everyone made a bold speculation that Artus might have moved the bodies of the three thousand warriors to the desert.
That’s right, in the desert!
For this reason, His Highness Gru sent a large number of manpower to investigate everywhere.
Finally, there was a harvest.
They found an old man who had been working as a tour guide in the desert all year round.
The old man said that he saw a strange scene two or three nights ago.
Layers of wind-sand are rolled up in the desert.
With decades of desert experience, the old tour guide concluded that there must be a large number of convoys driving in the desert at night.
But there was no light in those places.
Then there is only one possibility. Those cars did not turn on their lights and were driving in the dark.
This is particularly strange.
Who is it that sends out such a large number of convoys, but still drives in the dark?
Everyone followed the clues and finally found more clues in a city on the edge.
Finally, we can basically confirm that two days ago, High Priest Ates led a huge convoy through here.
If calculated based on the carrying capacity of each vehicle, it can transport almost 3,000 people!
"Well, just now I have arranged for Wen Tianhao and the others to quietly inquire around, but found nothing."
Lu Tianlong nodded.
When the bonfire was being lit just now, he asked Wen Tianhao to lead Xiao Yao and several others to disperse quietly.
See if there is anything suspicious.
It's just a pity.
Nothing was found.
Because the desert in the dark is very dangerous, even Wen Tianhao and the others do not dare to go too far into the place.
So Lu Tianlong thought it would be better to wait until tomorrow and slowly think of a solution.
"We must kill Artus before he resurrects these three thousand demon legions."
"Otherwise, once the demon army is really resurrected, he will have value."
"When the time comes, the Evil Alliance or the Dark Holy See will definitely cooperate with him fully."
Li Linglong looked stern and said quickly.
According to their understanding.
At present, Artus has only reached a preliminary cooperation intention with the Evil Alliance and the Dark Holy See.
The prerequisite for a true alliance is that Artus can resurrect these three thousand demon legions.
At that time, Artus will take these demon legion members to China to participate in the evil alliance and the Dark Holy See's actions against China.
The Evil Alliance and the Dark Holy See will also go all out to help Ates seize the position of Pharaoh of Egypt!
Therefore, the organization arranged for Lu Tianlong to come over.
Kill Artus before he completely colludes with those evil forces!
"Well, it's best if we can stop it. If we can't stop it, we can only let nature take its course."
"The worst result is naturally to fight Artus and his three thousand demon army."
Lu Tianlong shrugged.,
His temper is never aggressive.
Very open-minded.
"Well, that's the best thing to think about. I'm just worried about you taking risks again."
Li Linglong smiled slightly.
Under the dim light, this girl has a different kind of beauty.
In the entire villa, she was the only one who could truly compete with Su Lingyue in all aspects.
She is the best beauty among the best beauties.
"Linglong, it seems like we haven't had such a close chat for a long time, right?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Lu Tianlong's face and he said softly.
"Ah? What are you going to do?"
Li Linglong's pretty face turned red and she asked a silly question. Seeing Lu Tianlong's eyes gleaming now, this girl who claims to have an exquisite heart with seven orifices could see through his mind at once.
"Tianlong, don't mess around. This is in the desert, and there are so many people around..."
Li Linglong's voice was extremely shy.
Looking back carefully, after she took charge of the Tianxia Alliance, Lu Tianlong helped her fight against the powerful Decepticons many times.
It was also at that time that she was finally moved by this man and gave everything she had to Lu Tianlong.
The two spent a relatively sweet time together.
Later she left Haiyang and went to the organization.
A few months passed in a flash.
When I came back, my identity had changed.
I have never had the opportunity to have a good chat with Lu Tianlong alone.
"Okay, how come you, a smart girl like you, don't know your own thoughts?"
Lu Tianlong smiled and reached out to hold Li Linglong's slightly cold hand.
Li Linglong's body trembled slightly, and a feeling of electric shock spread throughout her body.
Biting her lip, she hesitated for a moment, then leaned forward and fell into Lu Tianlong's arms.
Yes, she is very smart and knows what she wants in her heart. Any excuses or reasons at this time are just excuses.
"Tianlong, their tents are so close together, they won't notice, right?"
"It's okay, as long as you don't scream too loudly, those girls are too tired today and too sleepy to hear you!"
"Well, I'll try my best..."
Outside the wind blew yellow sand.
In the desert, it is like the sea, with no wind or waves.
With an air of desolation.
But in Lu Tianlong's tent, there was a different flavor.
After about an hour, the two finally stopped.
In the darkness, Li Linglong lay on Lu Tianlong's chest, drawing circles on the skin in front of him with her little fingers.
"Ha, I can still move my fingers. It doesn't seem like it's working. How about we do it again?"
Lu Tianlong lowered his head and smiled.
"..., screw you, the only thing I can move in my body right now is probably my fingers."
Li Linglong was embarrassed and glared at him angrily.
"Okay Tianlong, I have to go back."
It was already around midnight, and Li Linglong wanted to get up, put on clothes, and leave.
"Shh!"
But at this moment, Lu Tianlong suddenly reached out and held her down.
His eyes were like lightning, and he suddenly looked outside.
Through the tent, you can vaguely see a figure walking by Lu Tianlong's tent.
Heading into the distance.
"Hmm? It seems to be Bingbing. Where is this girl going so late?"
Li Linglong recognized it, widened her eyes and whispered.
"I don't know, just wait for me, I'll go take a look first!"
Lu Tianlong thought for a moment and quickly stood up.
