"The transmission is about to begin, host please be prepared."
"10,9..."
After being sent off by Yongzhen, Lu Xiao still wore Altaïr's armor as usual. Considering the fierce wind and sand in the desert, Lu Xiao even wore a black mask.
"...0, start transmitting."
As the system's beep of counting ended, Lu Xiao once again felt the familiar squeezing feeling of space transfer.
Before he could recover from the teleportation, dry air mixed with rolling heat waves hit his face.
The unobstructed sun shone directly on the vast desert covered with golden sand, and Lu Xiao felt the temperature above her head rising sharply.
Many people in the Middle East cannot understand the custom of wrapping their heads and covering their faces. They wonder why they are so heavily armed in such a hot place.
In fact, this is a last resort. The cloth wrapped around the head is to prevent the harsh sunlight in the Middle East from shining directly on the head, which may cause dizziness in the brain.
The veil is used to block sand and dust blown up by the wind and prevent solid particles from being inhaled into the respiratory tract through the mouth and nose.
In this harsh desert environment, Lu Xiao used the power of the magic floating cloak to levitate into the air and scanned the nearby scenery with his eagle eyes.
Before Lu Xiao could clearly observe the surrounding terrain, the desert, which had been barely peaceful, suddenly began to blow violent sandstorms.
The flying sand grains in the sky obscured Lu Xiao's sight, almost to the point where he couldn't even see his fingers.
This highly targeted sandstorm is obviously not a product of nature, but is secretly triggered by someone using magic.
With a thought, Lu Xiao began to try to control the wind and rain.
The few clouds over the desert quickly gathered under the power of the Dragonborn, and the heavy downpour from the sky was mixed into the sandstorm, adding a lot of weight to the light sand.
The competing reverse winds collided violently with the sandstorm, and the scale of the sandstorm was curbed by Lu Xiao's combined punch attack.
However, there was a serious lack of water vapor in the desert area. The rain clouds brought by Lu Xiao quickly poured out the accumulated rainwater and dispersed on their own, and the unobstructed sun reappeared in the sky.
Fortunately, the person who carried out the attack in secret seemed to have given up using the power of the weather to attack. Through the thin sand and dust, Lu Xiao, who was floating in the air, witnessed two huge four-legged objects approaching quickly from a distance.
After releasing the suspension and falling back to the ground, Lu Xiao carefully prepared for battle.
About 5 minutes later, two living stone statues with slightly different appearances appeared in Lu Xiao's sight.
These two stone statues are shaped into male and female appearances respectively. The workmanship is very exquisite, and it can be seen that they have been carved with great pains.
Lu Xiao's expression changed: "The Sphinx? So, this is Egypt's territory?"
The rapidly approaching Sphinx clearly showed hostility. This incredibly strong puppet was difficult to deal with. If you were not careful, you would be trampled to pieces by them.
"You're in a good spot, just use the Sphinx to practice your skills."
Lu Xiao raised his hand and pressed it on the sand dune beneath him. Under the influence of the alchemy technique, the sand dune suddenly began to move. Some of the sand grains were extracted by an unknown force, forming a solid wall in front of the two sphinxes.
wall of sand.
"Boom! Boom!"
Unable to brake in time, the Sphinx hit the sand wall, and its sprint was forced to a halt.
Pulling out the Immortal Slash hanging from his back, Lu Xiao ran nimbly through the desert. When the sand wall dissipated, he jumped up and aimed his sword at the sphinx with only a face.
"cut!"
The thin tachi cut into the stone head of the Sphinx without any hindrance, exposing the magic driving core in its brain.
Although it is impossible to determine the specific function of this yellow-orange gem, based on experience, Lu Xiao can roughly guess the purpose of this yellow gem.
When falling, he stepped on the face of the Sphinx, just in time to avoid the opponent's forward claws. Lu Xiao turned over in mid-air and jumped again, stepping on the head of the Sphinx one after another, and reached the head of the stone statue.
Lacerated wounds.
"Ashina Cross Slash!"
"Bang~"
As the topaz that was the core of the magic power shattered, the Sphinx suddenly lost all movement and fell into the endless desert with a "bang".
After solving the first one, Lu Xiao tried to use the alchemy technique in battle.
He changed the density of the sand at the feet of the "male" Sphinx. The massive Sphinx soon fell into the desert, and its four legs could no longer move freely in the more solidified desert environment.
"Qiang!"
The Immortal Sword filled with crimson aura was unsheathed again in Iai's posture, and Long Shan wielded a sharp long-range sword energy.
Assisted by the clairvoyance ability of Eagle Vision, this sword energy accurately destroyed the magic core in the Sphinx's body.
"Big, big, big..."
A suppressed angry murmur came from behind the two sphinxes.
Lu Xiao had already discovered the other party's whereabouts and looked at the purple-haired woman with brown skin teasingly: "Big? What big? You? It doesn't seem that big."
"Discourteous person!"
This rather scantily clad brown-skinned woman has long purple hair that is taller than a person. A red rope simply tied up her hair that was spread behind her.
Her innocent and lovely appearance showed a bit of coquettishness under the overly sexy attire, and her expression looked unusually angry at this time.
"How dare you destroy the Sphinx made by the great Pharaoh! This is disrespectful!"
There was very little fabric on this woman's body, and most of the armor on her body was made of glittering precious metals. It looked quite luxurious, and reminded Lu Xiao of a certain powerful heroic spirit who liked weapons of the same color.
In her right hand she also held a shining jackal-headed staff. Judging from her attire, this brown-skinned woman should be a spell caster.
"Bow down before the glory of Pharaoh, blasphemer!"
Holding the staff high, the female caster who controlled the two sphinxes behind the scenes summoned a large number of ferocious evil spirits on the head of the staff.
These evil spirits screamed and approached Lu Xiao. At the same time, the brown-skinned woman seemed to be calling something, and several strange-looking creatures in white cloaks suddenly emerged from the ground of the desert.
"Bah!"
Laser-like magic beams erupted from the eyes of these white cloaks with hairy legs exposed, which caused some trouble for Lu Xiao in conjunction with the attacks of evil spirits.
Immortal Slash has the ability to attack undead creatures. The evil spirits that were close to him were killed one by one by Lu Xiao with his sword. He also dodged the eye cannons of the strange white cloaked creatures with his dexterous movements.
During the battle, Lu Xiao still had time to look at those strange creatures with great interest: "Is it the clone of God Medjed?"
Mejed is a relatively humble god in ancient Egyptian mythology. His image recorded on the murals is so strange and makes people laugh.
Lu Xiao had already guessed the identity of this brown-skinned woman through her appearance and the characteristics that drove Mejid.
She should be the heroic spirit summoned by the Pharaoh, one of the magic queens among the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, the female pharaoh who is regarded as the incarnation of the sky god Horus, Nitocris.
