Volume II, The Lost Trail of the Sand Sea Chapter 122, Temple of the God of War Nacarossa
Drink! Drive!
The excited crowd, the wild camels, the smoke and dust, the flying sand and rocks, on the dim horizon, pulled out a long dragon.
Chen Tao lay tightly on the back of the camel, his eyes staring ahead without blinking, and a huge sand mountain appeared on the horizon in front of him, and behind the sand mountain, there was a building.
The caravan galloped across the desert, and the outline of the building became clearer and clearer, tall, majestic, full of the vicissitudes of time, like a floating building on the sea in this vast sea of sand.
At first, Chen Tao thought it was a mirage, after all, in a place like the desert, it is common for some strange visions to appear, but as the camel team approached quickly, the buildings in front of him became more and more frightening.
It was a towering temple, connected with the sand mountain behind it, and you couldn't see it at all if you didn't pay attention.
Sigh......
The group stopped in front of the temple, and by this time, the sky was already white, and the sun was about to rise.
Chen Tao sat on the back of a camel and was completely shocked by the hall in front of him. The hall is backed by a sand mountain, giving people the feeling of growing directly from the ground, and the main hall is three or four zhang high, and is made of whole boulders. There are several pillars standing at the entrance, even if a dozen or so people hold hands and hug each other, they may not be able to hold it, two of them have collapsed, broken into several pieces in front of the temple, most of them are buried by sand, only a few longer broken pillars are still standing on the sand. Each bead is carved with strangely shaped figures and symbols, as well as strings of strange characters, most of which have been blurred due to the severe erosion of the wind and sand. Chen Tao saw it in his eyes, and those words looked very familiar, and they seemed to be somewhat similar to the ghost drawings on the wooden box.
There should have been two stone statues at the entrance of the main hall, but I don't know how many years they have stood here, the original stone statues have long since ceased to exist, one has only two feet left, and the other has disappeared completely, leaving only an empty stone seat underground.
Chen Tao rolled over and got off the camel, rubbed his numb buttocks, and looked at the temple after a group of people. Due to the dim light, looking at Chen Tao's position, the hall was pitch black, and only a lot of black shadows could be vaguely seen inside.
When the group arrived at the gate of the main hall, those minions quickly scattered, and they all raised their guns and pulled bolts, guarding all corners outside the main hall.
These people are definitely not ordinary forces, and it can be seen from their equipment and style of acting that although these people are a little scattered, they are well-trained, and they are by no means ordinary bandits.
"That kid from the Chen family, come here!" The bearded man shouted, and before Chen Tao could react, he was dragged in front of the bearded man by two tall minions.
"Hurry up, the sun is about to rise!" The bearded man left a sentence and walked towards the entrance of the temple.
"Let go of me, I'll go myself!" Chen Tao broke free from the two big men, and walked a few steps quickly to keep up with the bearded group.
"Can you tell me what this place is?
”
The bearded and big face were horizontal, and Chen Tao, who looked at him with vicious eyes, was full of sighs in his heart.
This person's face is full of fierceness, and there is a kind of anger that ordinary people do not have, not to mention that he has any holidays with the Chen family, but he is definitely a ruthless master, in the depths of this desert and uninhabited desert, Chen Tao falls into their hands, and he may lose his life at any time.
In such a place, it is normal for a dead person to die.
"Hara, Rolpakur, Sivadanabar!"
He hadn't taken a few steps when he heard a clattering shout, and a big man with the same beard and a strange tattoo on his forehead came up, put one hand into a fist on his left chest, and bowed his head to the bearded man. Then he said something, as if he had discovered something.
Chen Tao couldn't understand what he was saying, but when he saw the bearded man turn his head to look at himself, then he glanced in the direction he came, and waved his hand at the man, and the big man turned around and shouted at a few people to ride camels and leave.
What happened? Chen Tao was shocked for no reason, and vaguely felt that something bad would happen.
Syllable...... Smack!
There was a burst of gunfire in the distance, and then several men on camels galloped away in the direction they came.
"Let's go!" The black tall man unceremoniously pushed Chen Tao, urging him to move towards the main hall.
"Damn, you bastards, you bastards, have the ability to kill you and me!"
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, Chen Tao was shocked, and hurriedly looked back, and saw that the minions who had gone out before had already returned, and they were still holding two people.
"Haozi! Ye Rong! ”
Chen Tao was shocked, and hurriedly rushed towards Haozi and Ye Rong, but unexpectedly, the black tall man behind him directly swept his legs, and Chen Tao was instantly kicked to the ground and ate a mouth full of sand.
"Taozi, I'm here to save you!"
Those people pressed Haozi and the two of them to walk in front of Chen Tao and Bearded and others, only to see Haozi and Ye Rong with their hands tied behind their backs, and their bodies and faces were full of sand.
"Didn't I let you two go! What's going on! ”
Chen Tao spit out a few mouthfuls of sand and looked at Haozi and the two with some annoyance.
"Throwing away my brother and running for my life by myself, I Li Hao can't do it!" His hands were tied, and Haozi struggled a few times, but it was useless.
"Chen Tao, no one can stop me, Tatunaan I have to go!" Ye Rong's eyes welled up with stubbornness, and Chen Tao couldn't help but feel a little big.
It was not easy for him to trick the bearded man into letting Haozi and Ye Rong go, why did these two run back again.
"You ....... Alas! Looking at the bloodstains on the faces of the two, Chen Tao was angry and moved,
Haozi They followed all the way here for their own sake, but they were still discovered.
"Don't be verbose, hurry up!" A minion in the back kicked him so hard that he almost kicked Haozi down, and the three of them were pointed at gunpoint at the front of the line.
"What kind of place is this?" Chen Tao asked Ye Rong in a low voice
"This is the temple of Nacarossa, and inside it should be Nakaro, the god of war in the Tatunan faith
Sa, in the legend of Tatunaan, the god of war Nakarosa is the younger brother of the god of the underworld Nakara, Tatunaan has been fighting for many years, from a very small desert tribe to the last huge kingdom, before each army, King Tatunan will sacrifice to the god of war Nakarossa, in order to bless them with victory in the war. ”
"So, we're already at Tatunan?" Chen Tao looked at the surrounding desert road, "Why is there nothing here?" ”
"Yes, it used to be Tatunaan's territory, but it's still far from where we're going." Ye Rong looked at the main hall in front of him, "Legend has it that the god of war Nakarosa guards the gate of Tatunan, and if you want to find Tatunan's royal city, you have to pass through the Eye of the Desert and find the Devil's Forest that leads to Tatunan. ”
"Forest? It's a desert! Chen Tao was puzzled.
"It was an oasis of curse, and since Tatunaan was buried by a storm overnight, this oasis has become more and more strange, and many people have stepped into the Devil's Forest for the undead treasure under Tatunan, and there are even many armies among them, but none of them have survived. It is rumored that Tatunan suffered a heavy defeat and returned from a heavy defeat, and finally was even forced into the royal city, seeing that the royal city was about to be broken by the enemy, King Tatunaan exchanged his soul with the god Nakara in exchange for her, begging her to protect Tatunan from this catastrophe. Nakara agreed to him, and the moment the enemy broke through the gates, blood rained down on the sky, and the sand became an oasis, and the soldiers who were surrounded by the oasis died inside. From then on, no one except the Tatunans could come even half a step close to the royal city. ”
"Is there such a god?" Haozi also came over, "Ye Da Beauty knows a lot!" ”
As he spoke, the crowd had entered the temple.
The interior of the hall is also supported by dozens of columns, but they are thinner than the outside, with strange symbols and characters carved on them, and strange stone carvings are carved in relief on the surrounding stone walls. In the middle of the main hall is a stone statue carved from black stone, and one foot alone is as big as half of Chen Tao's body. Beneath the stone statue is a huge chariot, carved out of reddish-brown stone. There are 24 giant wheels, each about 2 meters in diameter, and 9 thick wedge-shaped spokes, which are delicately engraved with patterns.
In front of the chariot were seven majestic war horses, the horses were draped in battle armor and golden saddles, and the front was raised in a galloping shape, and the horses' mouths were slightly open, as if they were screaming. Standing in the main hall, it seems that you can hear the battle on the battlefield and the roar of the war horse. The god of war, Nacarossa, was dressed in a battle suit, his eyes were wide with anger, the weapon in his hand was pointed directly outside the temple, and a roar of anger came out of his mouth, as if he would rush out of the temple in a chariot in the next second.
According to Ye Rong, these 7 horses represent a week as 7 days, and 24 wheels represent 24 hours in a day. The exterior of the chariot is carved with floral patterns and reliefs depicting war.
"These two people are so strange, why do they have a mouse head?" Haozi said
When Chen Tao heard the sound, he saw two smaller stone statues on the left and right sides of the chariot.
Two meters tall, with a rat head, a human body, slender ears, angry eyes, wearing a religious uniform, and a human skull under his feet, one of them holding a strangely shaped weapon in his hand, which seemed to be exactly the same as the one in the hand of the god of war Nacarossa, while the other stone statue held a pyramid-shaped object, I don't know what it was.
"Where's the stuff!" The bearded man stretched out his hand towards Chen Tao,
"What's that?" Chen Tao looked puzzled, and said in his heart, it was bad, could it be that he was asking him for the key.
"I advise you not to play tricks, and hand over the key quickly!"
Damn, how do I know what the key is? Chen Tao pretended to be looking for something on his body, but his heart was in a mess.
I knew I couldn't hide it, but I didn't expect it to be so fast! I didn't know what the key was. At first, he just said nonsense casually, in order to save Ye Rong and Haozi, but he didn't expect them to run back again. Once these people find out that Chen Tao is lying to them, there is only a dead end waiting for the three of them.
What can I do?
