Chapter 520: Looking for Half a Bucket of Water
In the No. 1 parallel world, outside a certain armored car on the periphery of the building, after Zhan Tianya said his plan, Fu Mingwei sighed, but Mo Duqiao was furious.
"Are you crazy?" Mo Duqiao yelled, "You didn't tell us in advance about such a dangerous thing, what if it gets out of control!?" We, and the world, are doomed. ”
Fu Mingwei still shook his head: "Director, it's too dangerous." ”
Zhan Tianya looked at the crack in the sky: "This is the only way, the only way to bring back half a bucket of water." ”
Mo Duqiao asked puzzledly, "Is that coffin opener named Hu Shuntang so important?" ”
Zhan Tianya nodded and said: "To me, he is very important, since Tang Qianlin went to the marginal space and found Hu Shuntang there, I also feel that his existence is justified, the reason why he did not disappear, but was exiled there, shows that he is very important, so I must do everything possible to get him back." ”
Fu Mingwei asked: "Director, but, even if you don't tell me, you have to tell Tang Anshu and Wei Chiran who are on the mission, right?" ”
Zhan Tianya said: "Sometimes it is explained, they may not be able to do it, not to say, it is best to achieve it in an accident, I said, I was just gambling, when I found that the data was wrong, I remembered a series of things that happened after I met Tang She, and I was thinking, is it possible for this artificially created yin and yang crack to lead to the edge space." ”
Mo Duqiao pointed to the air: "Now, there is only one artificially created diversified yin and yang crack, and no one knows what is inside that yin and yang crack, what if it is not leading to the edge of the space?" ”
Zhan Tianya affirmed: "Based on all the previous intelligence and clues, it is certain that it leads there, Wei Chiran is also a special case, he is a very special person, unique, maybe only through him can he bring back half a bucket of water." ”
Fu Mingwei cautiously asked, "What if they fail?" ”
Zhan Tianya took a deep breath: "Then I'll think of other ways, in short, no matter what, even if I pay with my life, I have to save half a bucket of water, because he is my brother and comrade-in-arms." ”
●
According to Tang Anshu's memories and the report that Tang Qianlin once wrote, they roughly understood that this desert had a ruin, a stone village, a black tower, a river beach and the Nai He Bridge on the river beach. Other than that, it's as if all that's left is sand.
The two searched the other rooms, found two backpacks, and after carrying the food and water they had found, they searched for the highest sand dune and began to discern their directions.
Wei Chiran asked, "In what direction is the bridge?" ”
"There is no concept of direction here, there is no southeast, northwest, southeast, northwest," Tang Anshu looked around, "I can only rely on memory, if the ruins are directly in front of us, those river beaches should be in the opposite direction, at least combined with Tang Qianlin's report." ”
Wei Chi turned around and looked in the opposite direction: "Then let's go, since we are here, we will go to find that person." ”
As soon as Tang Anshu walked down the sand dune, he suddenly thought of something: "Do you remember Zhan Tianya saying to do him a favor?" ”
Wei Chi nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
"I know his purpose," Tang Anshu continued to walk, "he just wants the warped space to open a door, take us to this place, and then help him get the coffin opener back." ”
Wei Chiran suddenly realized, combined with Zhan Tianya's words, he did have this motive, but Wei Chiran didn't understand, is this coffin opener so important?
Tang Anshu said as he walked: "Zhan Tianya is from the source world, with the memory of the source world, and so is Hu Shuntang, according to him, Zhan Tianya and Hu Shuntang are the only people who came from the source world alive to the later split world, but Zhan Tianya went to the No. 1 parallel world, and Hu Shuntang was trapped here." Zhan Tianya's memories in the source world have helped us a lot, and that Hu Shuntang may have something we don't know. ”
After walking in the opposite direction for several hours, they did not see the river beach, but a stone forest. All the stones were yellowish-gray, towering in the middle of the desert, like poplar trees, and from time to time something resembling a lizard ran through the stone forest.
Tang Anshu wiped the sweat on his face, and when he was about to walk into the stone forest, he found a strange symbol carved on a stone pillar, the symbol was a skull, and there was a star on the forehead of the hole, and there was also a Chinese character written below that said Don't enter, and there was an English stop.
Wei Chiran looked at the symbols and words and said, "It seems that someone is reminding us not to walk into here." ”
Tang Anshu looked at the stone forest: "Maybe passing through the stone forest is a stone beach, let's go, even if we don't go to find Hu Shuntang, we don't know how to leave here through the secret armor and the five-element necklace for the time being." ”
The two of them didn't know that the moment they walked into the stone forest, there were several pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark, and under those eyes were greedy mouths, and the tongues in their mouths were constantly licking their lips, as if they regarded the two of them as a delicacy that was about to reach their mouths.
Not long after entering the stone forest, the two of them saw the white bones piled up in front of them, in addition to animals, there were also people in the white bones, but the bones of those animals looked strange, like some kind of large reptiles, similar to monitor lizards or dinosaurs.
Tang Anshu saw that Wei Chi looked puzzled, and comforted: "In this place, there is no concept of time, so it is not surprising what happens and what you see. ”
As soon as they finished speaking, Tang Anshu and Wei Chiran heard the sound of some kind of sharp weapon breaking through the wind in the rear, and the two of them immediately dodged, and then saw a spear fixed on the sand, and then, several spears were thrown around.
Wei Chiran pulled out his fishbone sword, while Tang Anshu was bare-handed, he could only grab a spear, avoid the attacks of those people in the shadows, and walked towards the depths with Yu Chiran. In the surrounding stone forest, there were constantly flashing figures, and those people were very fast, running on the sand at the same speed as ordinary flat land, and some even quickly climbed to the top of the stone forest and threw spears at them.
The two of them fled and dodged, and were finally driven to a clearing, and the two realized that this group of people was just deliberate, if they went to the clearing, there must be a trap there, and even if they didn't, countless spears would pierce them, so there was no other choice but to turn around and go back and hide in the stone forest.
"Over there!" Tang Anshu pointed to the direction on the left, and ran over with Wei Chiran, just ran over and didn't stand firm, the two figures who jumped down from above pressed them directly to the ground, just at the moment when the two were about to be pierced by the spear, a spear flew in the distance and directly pierced the two people, just at the moment when the other black shadows were about to pounce, a man wearing a cloak and a masked face slowly walked out with two coffin nails in his hand, facing those who surrounded him, and slowly retreated to the position of Wei Chiran and Tang Anshu.
The man in the cloak raised his hand and pointed into the distance, then nailed the coffin to the ground and drew a line, and then used the coffin nail to stab into the body of one of the black shadows pierced by the spear.
Only then did Wei Chiran notice that the so-called black shadow was actually a person, but the person's dress was no different from that of a primitive person, with a naked body, animal skins around his waist, dark skin, and chapped lips.
Those strange people slowly walked out of the stone forest, did not rashly attack, but looked at the man in the cloak, and then slowly retreated, and soon disappeared into the stone forest.
After the strange people left, the man in the cloak turned around: "Go, get out of here with me." ”
Tang Anshu looked at the coffin nail of the cloaked man, and subconsciously said, "Hu Shuntang? ”
The man in the cloak was stunned for a moment, and after uncovering the cloak, he took off the mask, revealing a vicissitudes of life: "You know me?" ”
Tang Anshu breathed a sigh of relief: "We are entrusted by Zhan Tianya to come here to find you." ”
Hu Shuntang didn't say much: "Let's get out of here first, this is the territory of those monsters, let's go." ”
The two followed Hu Shuntang to leave the stone forest as fast as possible, and as Tang Anshu expected, after leaving the stone forest, they saw the looming stone village in the distance.
Hu Shuntang led them into one of the stone houses, and after entering, he pointed to another stone house diagonally opposite and said, "Don't go there, it's a home for the seniors." ”
"You Quartet?" Tang Anshu immediately said, "I saw it in Tang Qianlin's report. ”
"Report?" Hu Shuntang frowned, "Do you know anyone who has been here?" ”
Wei Chi said: "I don't know everything, but I know key people." ”
Hu Shuntang re-blocked the stone slab at the door: "You guys should rest and drink some water first, do you want to eat something?" As he spoke, Hu Shuntang pointed to the jerky drying on top of his head, which looked like reptiles, and it was extremely disgusting to look at, let alone eat.
Tang Anshu took a sip of water and asked, "Why did you leave the Naihe Bridge and the rocky beach?" When Tang Qianlin met you, weren't you trapped there? ”
Hu Shuntang took a big sip of water, then took off his cloak, revealing the clothes made of animal leather inside: "I don't know, suddenly I can leave, but I don't know where to go, I have been on countless expeditions, and I have never left this desert, so I can only return." By the way, how did you get here? ”
Tang Anshu looked at Wei Chiran, and Wei Chiran said: "Senior, this is a long time." ”
Hu Shuntang smiled: "Say it, you can say it for as long as you want, there is no concept of time here, I don't know how long I have been here." ”
In order to facilitate Hu Shuntang's understanding, Wei Chiran told his experience in detail and originally, and when he finished speaking, Tang Anshu told his experience again, Hu Shuntang didn't seem to be confused, just listened silently, and interjected to ask some key questions during the period.
After the two finished speaking, Hu Shuntang sighed and said: "Originally, the world I was in was gone, and it was divided into ten worlds, and this world was really created by someone. ”
Wei Chiran asked, "Senior, you already knew?" ”
Hu Shuntang nodded slightly: "During the final battle in the Source World, I actually realized that after the battle, although I returned to my hometown for a short time, it didn't take long to come here, and at that time I guessed that things were not so simple, everything we did before was just in vain, and it was not too much to say that it was taken for granted." ”
