At this moment, No. 1, who is in the mysterious dune area of the Aranok Desert, does not know that his whereabouts have been completely exposed, but I am afraid that even if he knows, he will not stop this operation, because the so-called "
"Essence of God" has now become his last life-saving straw.
Since landing from the desert seaside, the frequency of abnormal genetic changes in No. 1's body has become more and more frequent. This thing that No. 1 calls himself "divine power" has now become the most serious burden on his body.
But as far as he knew, there was no other "sanctuary" in the Alanok Desert. He made a desperate attempt to complete the "oracle" and could only suppress the turmoil in his body by finding the "essence of God" promised on the stone tablet at the mission destination.
"Divine power".
Otherwise, he will most likely turn into a monster without self-awareness due to the damage caused by "divine power", and he will never be able to return to his original self.
Number 1 was absolutely unwilling to face such a terrible consequence, so he almost tried his best and rushed towards the mysterious sand dune area as soon as he entered the desert.
After five or six days of hard work, he finally arrived at the mysterious sand dune area written on the stone tablet.
At this time, nothing could interfere with his determination. He would rather die than become a terrifying walking corpse.
"Huh..." Standing in front of a huge red platform, No. 1 let out a long breath.
He took out a water bag from the inventory, took a few sips, and looked at the road leading to the depths of the dunes next to the platform, with a look of hope on his face.
"Uh...damn!"
Suddenly, he bent over in pain, and then fell to the ground without support. His whole body curled up into a ball like cooked shrimps, and the white gauze on his face was quickly soaked with cold sweat.
No. 1 was trembling in pain, and even the sand that was hot enough to bake eggs couldn't divert his attention.
The pain lasted for ten minutes before it slowly eased...
"Ahem...it's becoming more and more frequent...maybe I should take a break..."
He raised his face from the sand, revealing his eyes with deep dark circles and bloodshot eyes.
"No, no, now is not the time to rest... I must... move on..."
Thinking that the destination was right in front of him, No. 1 couldn't help but cheer himself up.
He struggled to get up from the sand, stepped on his still trembling legs, and walked towards the interior of the mysterious sand dune.
The scorching sunshine at noon in the desert was scorching the earth crazily, and No. 1 followed the guidance of the stone slabs and continued to approach the depths of the mysterious sand dunes.
As he went deeper, he found more and more signs of battle beginning to appear in this place.
Some of the collapsed red stone terraces were dumped on both sides of the road, and there were even glass-like crystallized floors formed by the melted sand on some sandy areas.
"It's such a terrifying power. What on earth did this do?"
Number 1 looked around as he walked, and more and more signs of battle made him feel a little uneasy.
He is now at his most vulnerable, and if the thing that caused these battle marks is still alive, it will definitely not be something he can deal with now.
But when he thought of the "essence of God" in the center, he put that little uneasiness behind him.
Doesn’t the situation here just prove that there is indeed something extraordinary in the center of this area?
Otherwise, why would these terrible things fight here?
No. 1 was very convinced by his own "reasoning", so he cheered up even more and walked faster inside.
Since the creatures in the mysterious sand dunes had been wiped out by the insect swarm before, No. 1 saw more and more terrifying signs of battles on the way, but did not encounter any substantial danger.
Under this circumstance, his march had been smooth, and he soon followed the traces of the battle and found the central area of the mysterious sand dunes.
This was once a "lost oasis" created by the "Chimera" to provide itself with food and shelter. However, after it was wiped out by the insect swarm, the oasis disappeared, leaving only some dead tree remains lying on the road.
Both sides.
Following these conspicuous traces, No. 1 passed through a large "battlefield" with pits and pits, and soon arrived near the center of the mysterious sand dunes.
Then, he stopped in front of a boulder and looked at the strange golden remains next to the boulder with a look of shock on his face.
This thing looks like a sacrificial vessel on some kind of altar. It is made of golden metal and is covered with a lot of scars and cracks.
It was twisted from the center by some powerful force, and streams of blue viscous liquid waded from its golden body to the sand, soaking the large area of sand next to the rock blue.
Since this thing looked like some kind of giant four-legged insect, No. 1 took it for granted that it should be "dead".
But since he had never seen this "creature" or anything similar to it anywhere, he didn't dare to get close to its "remains" for a while.
However, at this moment, the black slate in No. 1's arms suddenly shook violently. He took out the slate somewhat inexplicably, but the black "oracle" slate suddenly broke free from his hand and flew into the air on its own.
Got up.
Immediately afterwards, the slate flew next to the "big spider" and was divided into four regular small slates in the eyes of No. 1 in disbelief.
These small stone slabs surrounded the "big spider" in the center, and at the same time projected blue light curtains that swept around the "big spider", and from time to time they made strange sounds that No. 1 found inexplicable.
A few minutes later, the four small stone slabs came together again and flew back to the hand of No. 1, who was still in a dazed state, and a line of words appeared on the stone slab again, urging him to go deeper.
For some reason, after seeing the scene just now, No. 1 suddenly felt an extremely ominous premonition in his heart.
He felt that the path he was taking now was not leading to the center of the dune, but a shortcut leading to the embrace of death...
But what can he do?
At this point, if he doesn't continue to move inward, the God of Evolution will definitely abandon him.
And there is no "sanctuary" nearby that can be treated, so even if you bite the bullet, you still have to walk the rest of the way...
So, he could only swallow dryly, carefully grasp the stone slab, step by step around the body of the "big spider" in front of him, and continue walking towards the more central position behind.
As a result, he had just stepped out from behind the rocks, and before he could fully digest the scene he had just seen, a more exciting scene immediately appeared in front of him.
I saw that on the wide sandy ground behind the rocks, various golden fragments were scattered everywhere, and there were occasionally large and small potholes scattered among them. The sand in the potholes was all melted into large pieces by the high temperature.
Large pieces of cloudy glass.
In the center of the sand, a huge black stone slab was laid out. The edge of the stone slab was stained with unknown bloodstains. It looked like some creature had experienced a great battle here and then suffered unbearable pain.
