Chapter 157: The Tomb of the Sand King
The dwarf humanoid creature standing in front of Pang Xiaodou was none other than him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It was when he was still in the novice village that Pang Xiaodou met the kobold man in the kobold mine, who was so weak that he was about to be kicked by a group of dog-man circles, and finally brazenly claimed to be a funny goblin "Gazruvi" who was determined to become the prince of trade.
At that time, Pang Xiaodou even coaxed him into taking out the coordinates of the entrance to a mysterious tomb, so as to get the [Shenmu Mask (Unique)] that helped him a lot later.
"How did this guy end up here, and how did he get in?"
Recognizing Gazruvi, Pang Xiaodou had some doubts in his heart, but then he felt that he was thinking too much, this goblin is a game NPC, and he can know what the system tells him, just like knowing the mysterious tomb in the kobold mine.
"Hehe, young warrior, Gazruwe is meeting you again."
Gazruvi's eyes also showed a different color, and he looked at Pang Xiaodou with a smile, and said in his unique duck-like voice.
"yes, long time no see."
Pang Xiaodou also greeted politely, but he kept an extra eye in his heart, and deliberately asked again, "Mr. Gazruvi, who will become the Prince of Trade, what are you doing here?" ā
"Young warrior, you have become more refined than the last time we met."
Hearing the words Prince of Trade, Gazruvi's face immediately showed a strong sense of joy, and the conversation box immediately opened, "Gazruvi came here to find something, if you can find such a thing, Gazruvi is one step closer to becoming the Prince of Trade, so what about you?" Young warriors. ā
"I'm looking for something, too."
Pang Xiaodou smiled and said, "But I just heard what you called this place...... Tomb of the Sand King? This place is called the Tomb of the Sand King, right? ā
After listening to Pang Xiaodou's words, Gazruvi's expression immediately became nervous, and he shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, you must have heard it wrong, Gazruwe never said that." ā
"This cunning goblin ......"
Pang Xiaodou was very sure that Gazruwe said this just now, but this guy refused to admit that he really had nothing to do, so after thinking about it, Pang Xiaodou asked tentatively, "How is it, have you found any clues in this moving maze in front?" ā
"No, Gazruwe didn't find anything, in fact, Gazruwe was lucky to be able to exit from it alive, if he could go back and choose again, Ghazruvi would definitely not step into another half step." Gazruwe said with a sad face.
Seeing that this guy's expression flickered and he refused to say anything, Pang Xiaodou pondered for a moment, but he was calculating, and then waved his hand to Gazluvi and said, "In that case...... Well, good luck and goodbye. ā
As he spoke, Pang Xiaodou took out the "Oracle Bone Map" that had not yet figured out whether it was useful or not, and while pretending to look at it, he strode towards the moving maze.
"Please stay, what are you holding in your hand?" Gazruwe hurriedly craned his neck and asked on tiptoe.
"Then do you need to ask, of course it's a map of the moving maze, otherwise what am I going to do in there, looking for death?" Pang Xiaodou smiled nonchalantly and said.
"You actually have a map?"
Gazruvi was stunned for a moment, then immediately pounced, hugged Pang Xiaodou's thigh, and pleaded pitifully, "Warrior, please take me in, whether I can become the Prince of Trade or not depends on you, can't I count Gazruvi begging you?" ā
With the same posture and the same lines as before, this guy seems to have only one routine to ask for people.
"Now the three words of the tomb of the sand king, you should have remembered it, right?" Pang Xiaodou asked with squinted eyes.
"Come to remember, remember, I may have fainted from hunger just now......"
ā¦ā¦
Through Gazruwei's description, Pang Xiaodou finally learned information about the mysterious tomb where he was currently located.
This tomb is indeed called the "Tomb of the Sand King".
According to records, there are actually a total of 9 tombs of sand kings on this continent, distributed in different places.
In each tomb of the sand king, a part of the body of the sand king, the patron saint in the eyes of the scorpion people, is buried.
But in the entire game world, including all the NPCs, there are very few people who know about its existence, and even Gazruwe learned about the legend of the "Sand King's Tomb" by accidentally deciphering the ancient text in the mural during an underground adventure, and got the address of the Sand King's Tomb, and the other 8 Sand King Tombs have no clues.
And this sand king is the true body of the two-tailed scorpion that Pang Xiaodou had seen in murals or reliefs several times before.
According to legend, a long time ago, the Scorpion people were just an ordinary human race living in the desert, and at that time they did not call themselves Scorpions, and it is impossible to verify what they called them because of their age.
It turns out that the scorpion tribe is only a weaker race, otherwise it is impossible to be forced to hide in the harsh desert and survive, so it is inevitable that they will be robbed and bullied by the powerful tribes nearby, and this situation has continued until the birth of a boy.
The boy's upper body was the same as that of a normal person, but the two legs of the lower body were naturally disabled, and he could only crawl with his hands on a wooden plank equipped with wheels, while his two deformed legs were raised high behind him.
One day, a powerful tribe attacked the Scorpion settlement.
The able-bodied people all fled for their lives, leaving only the boy and his mother behind.
The aliens killed the boy's mother, and when they were about to kill the boy, a powerful sandstorm suddenly blew in the desert, engulfing all the aliens, and what was particularly strange was that the scorpion tribe and the boy themselves were also in the sandstorm without any casualties.
After this, the boy openly declared that the sandstorm had been summoned by his anger, and of course, at first the Scorpions only regarded this statement as the madness of a madman.
But when the second time a foreign race attacked, and the sandstorm blew up again and swallowed up all the foreign races, the scorpion people were shocked and finally began to believe his words.
Since then, they have revered the boy as their patron saint, reverently called the Sand King, and designed a very vivid two-tailed scorpion pattern as his symbol, and they are the scorpion people who are protected by the Sand King.
This is where the Scorpion and Sand Kings come from, as well as the twin-tailed scorpion pattern.
Then, under the leadership of this boy, in just a few years, the scorpion people conquered all the surrounding ethnic groups, even conquered half of the northern continent, and every time the scorpion people launched a war, as long as the boy was present, there would definitely be a sandstorm or cause an earthquake, and the tribes that dared to resist them would not end well.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, just as the scorpion people continued to expand, their sand king suddenly died for some reason, and after learning the news, all the tribes that had been conquered by the scorpion people immediately rebelled against the water and collectively resisted, and the army of the scorpion people was defeated and retreated.
In the end, the remnants of the Scorpion tribe had no choice but to follow the will of the Sand King, dividing his body into nine parts and the treasures taken from half the continent, and hastily burying them in the nine mausoleums that the Sand King had begun to build a few years earlier.
And the entire scorpion clan will soon be completely wiped out in the encirclement and suppression of many ethnic groups.
The Sand Dynasty, as a short-lived dynasty that existed for only a few years and quickly perished, left almost no documents and no descendants, so it soon disappeared into the dust of history and was forgotten by people along with these 9 tombs of the Sand Kings. (To be continued.) )
