This underground black desert looks like a piece of black sand, but it is actually the ashes of the former underground city that was burned by fire. The entire black desert looks so vast, like a sea of sand, but there is no desert here.
Among the Populus euphratica, there are no undulating sand hills. There are only black charcoal-like building ruins everywhere, and a death-like silence, boundless and without the slightest sign of life.
"It seems that this is the place where the god of drought is buried. It is estimated that this ancient goddess was not fully dead when she was buried. The original tomb building of the god was burned to ashes. It is like hell."
Chen Zhi looked at the black desert ahead with a telescope and sighed.
"You can do whatever you love! I'm almost exhausted. I need to take a break. I've been walking for more than ten fucking hours. Even the gods are tired and vomiting blood. We're not invincible. Damn it!",
Fat Wei complained on the wireless, found a flat stone protruding from the black sand at the entrance, and sat down, but unexpectedly, as soon as he sat on his butt, his work clothes immediately burned with white smoke, and he jumped quickly
Got up.
"The temperature here is too high and cannot be touched directly, otherwise our work clothes will be burned," Chen Zhi said over the wireless, taking out the cold insulation cloth from the treasure bag and spreading it on the rocks.
This kind of cold insulation cloth can prevent the transfer of heat. Before they came here, they predicted that the temperature below would be extremely low and made complete preparations to prevent the cold. However, they did not expect that it would be so hot under the cold surface here. This area
Cold-proof cloth is actually used in this place.
"This should essentially be a cold place",
Chen Zhi stepped on some unburned stones on the ground and said,
"The shapes of these stones are very regular and evenly divided, like some crystals. They should have been frozen in extremely cold places for many years and then suddenly burned to form this state. Geologically speaking, this should be a place where
In a severe cold area that is several times colder than the North and South Pole, it is estimated that the roots of the Fuso Sacred Tree at that time were also covered with ice, but the things below were too hot, causing it to be burned into a huge cavity, and finally turned into this
Look."
"Orange! You mean to tell us that the god of drought may still be alive, right? Do you think this bitch is waiting for us somewhere down there, peeling off her black veil and burning us to ashes?
What are you afraid of? Didn't your family have some god-conferring curse passed down from your ancestors? They specialize in dealing with these gods. Even Bai Qian can banish them. Why are you afraid of this drought god? If she dares to show up, I will ban her.",
Fat Wei didn't care about the current environment. He turned on the switch in the oxygen mask, put the water into his mouth, and sucked it up through the rubber tube.
They had modified the kettle before coming. In order to prevent the drinking water from freezing or the oxygen mask from leaking, they hung the kettle on their bodies and directly connected it to the oxygen mask with a rubber tube. This was safer, and I didn't expect it to be suitable for use here.
"It's not that simple",
Chen Zhi also drank some water in the oxygen mask and continued,
"Don't say that my God-Selfing Spell is still missing the last two sentences. Even if it is complete, I am not completely sure that it can be used on this ancient goddess. After all, she is too ancient, and judging from those murals,
, her power is too powerful.”
"What are you afraid of? If she is so powerful, wouldn't she be killed by Emperor Xuanyuan? After you are a majestic son of God, are you still afraid of her?",
Fat Wei said still not caring.
"There are many ways for a son to kill his mother, just like Japan's Abe Seimei. Moreover, we don't know the real situation at that time. I don't think this goddess can be killed so easily. I think we
We should try to be as careful and low-key as possible. Later we will quickly search this desert to see if there are any remaining roots of the Fusang Sacred Tree. Once we get the ghost tree (roots), we should evacuate immediately. We can’t be attached to this place for a second.”
.
"right!",
Ghost Sword expressed his attitude very rarely, praising what Chen Zhi just said.
After they drank some water, their muscles immediately began to cramp rapidly and their hearts beat violently. These are normal reactions after strenuous exercise, let alone in such high temperature conditions.
The trip just now was no joke. After walking for such a long time and walking sideways, the muscles in his crotch were about to explode. Fortunately, Chen Zhi had trained well during this period, otherwise he would have vomited blood long ago.
After everyone endured the pain of cramps and took a breath for a while, Chen Zhi looked forward with a telescope. There was no light source in front of him, and it was all a dark world. The black desert was lifeless and directionless, like a deserted place.
A place abandoned by God, but in the farthest place, there seem to be some vague shadows of buildings.
Judging from the survey map, they have already reached the underground location of the tree root maze. Up to this point, there is no map to refer to. The rest of the journey has to be explored by themselves.
"Knife, did the person behind follow you?",
Chen Zhi suddenly asked the ghost sword next to him.
"No",
Ghost Sword replied affirmatively over the wireless,
"He stopped at the entrance of the stone chamber and did not enter the sloping corridor."
"really……",
Chen Zhi nodded indifferently under the oxygen mask.
"I said, Big Orange, can you stop playing riddles? You have been pretending to be B Bala's mystery for so long, but tell me who is following you? Why can't I deal with him first? If there is any danger,
, isn't it troublesome for us to run back and deal with him?" Fat Wei asked eagerly on the wireless.
"I still can't tell you now, otherwise you will have concerns, but he must be one of our own, and his abilities are limited and will not enter this hot area. Let's go look for Guimu first and don't pay attention to him, otherwise we will
He delayed the time.",
Chen Zhi's tone on the wireless was unquestionable, and Fat Wei didn't say anything after hearing it.
After several people replenished some water and allowed their muscles to recover for a while, they felt that their bodies no longer hurt so much, and then they started to move forward.
It's getting hotter and hotter as we walk ahead, and the air has become distorted. The scary thing about the desert is not the sand itself, but the endless confusion and the fear of getting lost.
It is said that those who walk in the desert often see a dreamy land, lakes, rivers, beauties, mythical beasts, snow-capped mountains, and oases. These phenomena are called mirages. Those who are thirsty and tired rush to
I walked and walked desperately looking at the beautiful scenery, but I couldn't walk until I died of thirst and exhaustion. In fact, these are all hallucinations produced by human beings in extreme confusion and despair. This is what Chen Zhi and the others are like in front of them. They just saw it in the telescope
The buildings have disappeared, and it is too easy to get lost in the desert.
They used the exit as a benchmark, followed the direction of the compass, and walked straight ahead along the route due south. There was only a piece of black sand around them, and not even a shadow of tree roots could be seen, but the exit behind them quickly opened up.
Disappeared from sight, even if you want to look back at this moment, you can't find your way at all.
At this moment, I heard Fat Wei suddenly exclaim...
