Volume 5: The Elegant Tea Party (Remastered) Chapter 65: The Tea Party (End)
The huge sandworm lord pounced on the wheel of fortune inside the jade coffin like Mount Tai, and the hideous mouth at the front of the body opened like petals, as if it wanted to swallow the entire jade coffin in one gulp.
If Silas's actions only touched on Jasmine's safety, then Chaka Chaka Shaka's greed is directly related to the fate of the Wheel of Fortune itself. Each artifact has its own consciousness, which is the so-called artifact, and you can also see it as an anti-theft method, unless it is approved by the artifact, even if others snatch the artifact, they will not be able to use it at all.
The Wheel of Fortune is naturally no exception, if the time is changed, even if the Sandworm Lord takes him away, this artifact cannot have any effect, and it can only be regarded as an ornamental item for the Sandworm Lord. But the problem is that the wheel of fate has protected this palace for tens of thousands of years in the long river of time, even if it is an artifact, such a huge consumption and long-term damage has also affected the power of the artifact itself, to put it mildly, the wheel of fortune is now almost in a completely defenseless state, and any heroic strength can take this artifact as its own.
The Wheel of Fortune, which was created by Shatar with the power of the whole country, also inherited the character of this emperor, and instead of being a slave of a lowly beast (the intelligence of the sandworm is very low, even the legendary lord Chaka Chaka Shaka has an IQ that cannot be compared to that of humans of the same level), the Wheel of Fortune would rather choose to self-destruct!
After the artifact spirit in a weakened state sent a warning to Shatar, who was fusing his body with all his might, he resolutely chose to be generous! He first banished Jasmine into the gap of time, waiting for Shatar to rescue him, and then shattered in a flash of almost blinding light.
The whole artifact was divided into three parts, and the outer ring with six diamond-shaped crystals became the artifact parts called Elemental Harmony, which remained in the jade coffin and was swallowed by the sandworm lord who fell from the sky. The time hourglass in the center was used by the machine spirit to fly out with the power of self-destruction because it needed to maintain the opening of the time gap, and it was unknown where it landed in the palace. The last golden eye set in the center of the hourglass is the Eye of Omniscience, protecting Morian's body and hiding in the cracks of time.
Before the Sandworm Lord who had successfully swallowed the Elemental Harmony could sense the location of the other two artifact parts, he felt a terrifying aura begin to descend, and it was Shatar who hurried back after receiving the warning and did not hesitate to give up the destruction of the second layer of seals. Faced with a demigod powerhouse far beyond the legendary level (Shatar did not ignite the divine fire), Chaka Chaka Shakar's poor brain did not hesitate to choose to follow the instinct of the creature, took the jade coffin and drilled a hole directly in the same place, and escaped.
By the way, even the two Gabribu brothers were also affected by the pond fish, and they were swept into the spinning body of the sandworm lord when he drilled the hole, and the whole person and his equipment turned into powder.
The hourglass of time, which was bounced to the back of a certain column, was collected by a figure who hid nearby at an unknown time, and then, taking advantage of the chaotic situation, the figure jumped into the hole that Chaka Chaka Shaka had drilled out of before.
Silas, who was shocked by the change in front of her, was also awakened by the imminent aura of Shatar, hurriedly stuffed a few treasures at hand into her backpack, and then took out a teleportation scroll and tore it directly, white light flashed, because the magic nodes of the second layer of seals were destroyed in large quantities, she was able to successfully use the teleportation scroll to escape with her life.
At the moment when the transmitted white light completely dissipated, Shatar, who finally returned to the palace, looked at the mess in front of him, and his face was extremely ugly. For him, the aura of the sandworm lord Chaka Chaka Shaka is naturally the most conspicuous, but the other few weak existences will not be ignored by him, although those few residual traces are so faint, but this is enough to prove that a few despicable little rats have sneaked in while he was out and desecrated this place!
He immediately thought of those people led by Yakumo Murasaki, if it wasn't for the fact that he was awakened by that humble existence and was in a hurry to fuse his body, how could he let these rats sneak in!
Shatar immediately wanted to return to the temple and arrest all the hypocritical reptiles and torture them, but in the end he chose to free Morien from the cracks of time first.
Although only one Eye of Omniscience remained in Morian's body, as the core of the artifact, the Eye of Omniscience not only has the most powerful power, but also a stable spatial sign, Shatar successfully found the location of the Eye of Omniscience, and brought it out of the gap in time along with Morian's body.
Without the Harmony of the Elements absorbing the power of the surrounding elements for function, and without the Time Hourglass affecting the flow of time, it would be impossible for the Omniscient Eye alone to continue to maintain the effect of the artifact Wheel of Destiny. This means that the palace will be swallowed up by the river of time from now on. Shatar was unable to take all the beautiful collections with him, so he protected Jasmine and left the palace with some of the most important treasures.
After he placed Moriam in another building that had apparently been eroded by time, leaving a doppelganger as protection, the Lord of the Sand returned to the temple above ground. He's going to interrogate the damn rats and make them pay for it all!
But when he entered the hall of the temple, he found that Yakumo Zi and those hunters who were originally standing here had already gone to the empty building, leaving only the prisoners who were sacrificed to be in a coma with unknown life and death. Obviously, Yakumo Murasaki, a cunning fox, had sensed danger from Shatar's hasty departure, and fled from the ruins of Shasar with his men without hesitation.
Shatar's face became worse and worse, and he felt that he had been completely tricked, and he was also played by a few little reptiles that he couldn't look down on at all!
The mighty Lord of the Yellow Sand slowly flew into the sky, his eyes full of rage! The magic barrier that shrouded the entire ruins had reached its limit at this time, and the remaining few magic nodes alone could not support this barrier to work at full strength for a long time. The colorful magical glow is intermittent and looks like a chandelier with a low battery.
Shatar stretched out his hands, and the sand and gravel piled up in Shasar's ruins converged on his palms like iron powder attracted by a magnet, quickly turning into a miniature tornado.
The Lord of the Yellow Sand could feel that there were many equally humble reptiles fighting with those Yellow Sand minions in the ruins, and if they were allowed to continue like this, the soul power of these reptiles would eventually be continuously consumed, and then become the energy that those Yellow Sand minions would continue to awaken. But Shatar, who was already furious, didn't bother to bother with these things anymore, even if he didn't have these reptiles? Resurrected, he has enough power to easily capture the elves, and then extract their lives and souls to resurrect the people of the Empire!
And now, what he needs is to vent well, not only to vent his depression that has been sealed for tens of thousands of years, but also to calm the anger in his body!
The sand tornado in his hand slowly became larger, and the speed of rotation increased little by little, and soon, under the influence of this force, a strong wind began to blow in the entire Shasar ruins, and the sand and dust on the ground were swept away by the wind, and a terrible sandstorm began to brew.
Shatar looked up at the magical barrier that had sealed him for tens of thousands of years, and the once impenetrable seal now revealed an aura of decay. He threw the dust tornado in his hand towards the magic barrier, and the tornado in his hand became a pillar of wind that covered the sky and the sun the moment it left his palm.
Wherever the tornado went, whether it was the Yellow Sand Servants or the players, or even the remaining buildings in the ruins, they were sucked in without resistance, and then crushed into the tiniest existence by the furious wind elemental and countless sand and gravel, further increasing the tornado's power.
This terrible tornado of sand and dust almost swept through half of the ruins, and finally, the tornado, mixed with countless stones and gravel, slammed into the magic barrier that was on the verge of collapse!
In an instant, countless cracks appeared on the inverted magic barrier, and then shattered, and those magic nodes on the ground exploded one by one, and the magic power that had nowhere to vent was re-transformed into the most primitive magic element through this most primitive destructive power, and then absorbed by the growing sandstorm.
The dust tornado did not disappear because it destroyed the magic barrier, but on the contrary, he grew stronger and stronger under the influence of the dust storm, which also received the impact of the tornado and began to spread in all directions.
Soon, the dust tornado and the sandstorm affected each other and merged with each other, becoming a terrible natural disaster, centered on the ruins of Shasar, spreading throughout the Jerimanca Desert.
This terrible force lasted for nearly a month before it finally dissipated. The power of heaven and earth is so terrifying that after the sandstorm ended, the borders of the Jeremanca Desert expanded outward for hundreds of kilometers, and tens of thousands of people had to choose to leave their homes and move farther away because of the sandstorm.
What's worse is that as the desert expands, more and more monsters begin to expand to the surrounding area, especially the elves, because the territory is almost bordering the Jerimanca Desert, a large number of elven civilians have to ask for help from the Yongsong Forest because of the attack of the desert monsters.
No one thought that a terrible ancient empire had begun to awaken in the center of the Jerimanca Desert, and those desert monsters that invaded all around were driven away by those resurrected yellow sand slaves, and had to leave the place where they originally lived and migrate to a new homeland.
No one knows how many civilians were captured in the process and became sacrifices for the resurrection of the Shahra Empire, but many people feel that a catastrophe is spreading from the Jerimanca Desert to the entire continent!
Of course, all this is meaningless to the Eater Serpent, and the resurrection of the Sahra Empire means the smooth end of the tea party, but the effects of this event are just beginning to be felt.
The brutal battle that took place in the depths of the Jerimanca Desert became known as the "Shasar Hell".
The impact of the "Shasar Hell" incident on the entire player base is extremely far-reaching, and this impact has greatly exceeded Yu Bin's prediction, starting from the resurrection of the Sahra Empire, and continuing until the game and reality are completely integrated, and even after humanity begins to regain the initiative in the new world after reality, this influence is still existing.
According to the information collected and excavated by archaeologists in later generations, during the "Shasar Hell" event, before the resurrection of the Shahra Empire, a total of 7,433 players entered the Jerymanca Desert in order to reach the ruins of Shasar, and less than 1,000 of them reached the ruins of Shasar alive. A total of 467 people, including the Devouring Serpent, participated in this event, but only 17 were able to leave the ruins of Shasar alive, of which the Devouring Serpent accounted for fifteen.
Due to the massive loss of soul energy, more than one hundred and thirty people became vegetative after the event of "Shasar Hell", a number that was reduced to less than fifty two years later, until the game merged with reality, and the number of players who died as a result of the event was finally fixed at twenty-two.
There are also more than thirty characters who have completely disappeared and had to be deleted and reinstated, including Malik.
The rest of the players who died in the ruins of Shasar paid a heavy price of 10 to 30 percent drop in the upper limit of soul energy.
In addition, due to the end of the "Shasar Hell" incident, players are facing the loss of the upper limit of soul energy, and the true faces that are usually hidden under the mask are completely exposed, and for their own survival, all kinds of unsightly behaviors are hurting the fragile relationship between these players all the time. Within a month after the end of the "Shasar Hell" event, more than three hundred guilds and mercenary groups were disbanded, many of which were in Yu Bin's memory, several of the more famous guilds in his previous life, including the Hell Three-Headed Dog Guild founded by Malik and Avelina, which once occupied three large underground cities in the previous life, and could almost be called a super guild. And his wife Averina not only left with a large number of guild executives, but also quickly divorced Malik in reality, which once became a matter of discussion by many people on the Internet.
Moreover, compared to those players who died on the way through the Jerimanca Desert, the players who died in the ruins of Shasar suffered a great loss of level and experience due to the excessive number of deaths, and more than half of the players' levels even fell to the point of almost being demoted, coupled with the large amount of damage to excellent equipment, it can be said that in just a few hours, the power ranking of the entire player group has undergone a seismic change, and a large number of elite players have since collapsed.
Finally, the "Shasar Hell" incident also made those foundations and state institutions that supported those guilds and mercenary groups behind the scenes further see the limitations of this guild supported by financial support, and in a sense, intensified the actions of these behind-the-scenes people to personally interfere in the world of Entagri in advance. In particular, the Snake of Body, who was almost unscathed in this incident, and may have even single-handedly directed this tragedy, has become an increasingly mysterious object of cooperation in the eyes of those big conglomerates and national organizations, which has led to the fact that in less than a year after the end of the "Shasar Hell" incident, the tentacles of the Snake have spread to the corners of the entire real world, and there is hardly a country that does not cooperate with the Snake of Nature.
