A mysterious metal skeleton appeared in the projection dunes, and this strange scene instantly attracted everyone's attention.

From the outside, it is true that there is no way to associate it with anything concrete.

The vast expanse of rust and decay has made this iron guy lose his true appearance.

What's more, one can guess from the metal edges that are clearly twisted or even torn that this should be part of a larger structure.

"It's clearly man-made! It shows that the other world referred to by this projection also has humans, or highly intelligent beings similar to humans! Someone immediately judged.

This speculation was immediately echoed by everyone.

But this is not too much of a surprise, after all, the last projection people have already seen the "elven civilization" with their own eyes, but they are also more sure of the judgment that "projection refers to another world".

"The rust on top of this......"

As the crowd gathered around, a little lapel with a somewhat pedantic temperament muttered and walked forward.

It seems to want to take a closer look at its surface.

However, in the next second, I only heard a perceptual cultivator who was pinching his eyebrows let out a short "Be careful!" ”

Immediately, I saw a black shadow suddenly burst out of the metal frame buried in the sand dunes!

It's small, but it's fast!

Between the lightning and flint, I saw a cyan light curtain suddenly appear, forming a wall of light.

The black shadow hit it and pierced through half of it.

However, it also managed to slow it down.

Huang Yin's eyes were quick, and her fair-skinned little hand reached over and directly held this thing in the palm of her hand!

Then there was a "pop", and a stream of light blue liquid splashed from the gap between her fists, and the attacker was pinched to death by her!

Cheng Lin's eyelids jumped straight when he looked at it from behind, he remembered that Huang Yin was an elemental system, right? Why is it so violent?

"Nothing else."

Seeing that everyone was concentrating on vigilance, the monk of the perception system who pinched his eyebrows said that after the other two perception systems were confirmed, everyone was relieved.

"What kind of creature is this?"

Cheng Lin also walked over, and saw that Huang Yin's snow-white palm had been dyed blue.

The creature resembled a crocodile, but it was only the size of a palm, and its surface was covered with a thin layer of phosphorus armor, which had been crushed, and its internal organs and blood were spilled.

Huang Yin pulled out a red crystal the size of a fingernail of his little finger from its corpse.

The body was handed over to someone else and slammed into the sampling bag for specimens, and a flame burned in that hand, and the blood and internal organs were baked and scattered, and there was not a single thing left, which was a saving hand.

Then she used her thumb and forefinger to pinch the crystal and raise it high.

He looked at the sun with his eyes for a few seconds, and said, "A crystalline body similar to spirit ore, the energy reaction can barely be regarded as second-grade. ”

Someone next to him hurriedly recorded it and bagged the crystal.

Cheng Lin's eyes moved on the side, this is the magic core, the second-grade ...... It was useless for him to take it, what he needed was an elite demon core, that is, a fourth-grade level monster to provide.

After solving this "new monster", everyone finally has a certain understanding of the dangers in this desert.

"The perceptual system is evenly distributed, providing an adequate supply of potions, keeping the ability always on, and the end point is beneath your feet, under the sand, and in the dunes...... As soon as you find something, report it immediately, do you hear it? ”

Huang Yin clapped her hands and gave an order.

The crowd agreed.

After dealing with the monster, everyone finally gathered around the iron shelf again.

Huang Yin looked at the monk who was attacked: "What did you want to say before?" Go on. ”

"Ah...... Yes," the little lapel was stunned, nodded a little frightened, walked over, scraped the rust on the metal frame with his fingernails, observed it for a while, and said cautiously, "This rust doesn't look like it would appear in a desert environment." ”

"What do you mean?"

"In a dry desert environment, generally speaking, water and oxygen are necessary for metal corrosion, and iron is only more susceptible to corrosion when the humidity in the air is greater than 70%, and here it ...... The humidity of the air is obviously not up to the requirements, even if it is assumed that the desert climate here will change, occasionally it rains, and it can rust, but this must be layered, and the rust on top of it ...... But it's more like being formed by long-term immersion in the ocean. The little lapel hesitated, paused, and added, "Of course, this is considered in our world, and other worlds may be different." ”

Everyone fell silent.

Ocean immersion?

Could it be that this unrecognizable iron frame is part of a ship?

Rusty and moved into the desert?

That sounds a bit unbelievable.

"Could it be...... Was this desert an ocean long ago? Suddenly, someone said.

The people looked at him, but they didn't speak.

Under normal circumstances, if an ocean wants to become a desert, the unit of geological change has to be measured in 10,000 years, and 10,000 years ...... What ship can be soaked underwater for 10,000 years still exists?

It's been rotten into an element for a long time, okay......

"Ahem, there are studies that say that the Taklamakan where we are located was the ocean a long, long time ago, but it seems to be in the middle of the Miocene, 10 million years ago......" said the little lapel who asked the rusty question, "but considering the existence of the other world and the aura...... There are many things that cannot be handled by common sense. ”

Rather, before the revival of Reiki, if someone told them that they would step into the cultivation world in the future, I'm afraid no one would believe it, but now?

Since the revival of Reiki, this world has become strange.

"Any guess is possible, come somebody, take some specimens, take a few more pictures, and move on!"

Huang Yin pondered for a moment and said loudly.

She is not interested in these things that have anything to do with "scientific research", she is more interested in those "monsters" and "magic cores", and when they are taken back and studied by those scientific research institutes, they may be able to turn them into practical results.

The crowd dispersed as he spoke.

Some began to use a knife to take surface samples and bagged them, while others held cameras around to take pictures.

"Cheng Lin, let's go too, it's nothing to see." Fu Zhongting saw it and whispered.

But there was no reply.

He turned his head to look, and saw Cheng Lin standing in place in a daze, his eyes falling on a certain place on the metal frame that seemed to have a special symbol, and someone was filming there.

"Cheng Lin? Did you find anything? Xie Qingke is a girl after all, and she is delicate, look at him and ask in a low voice.

"Ah...... No, I just think it's weird. ”

Cheng Lin smiled coveredly, and then returned to the car under Xie Qingke's suspicious gaze.

From beginning to end, his face was calm, but no one knew how speechless Cheng Lin was in his heart now.

The rusty sign had only two twisted and rough symbols on it, "C C", the two letters were so far apart that no one else could think of them, but he recognized at a glance that the full spelling should be CNPC, but the two letters in the middle were completely worn out.

CNPC happens to be the English abbreviation of the largest oil company in Xia country......

Further association, Cheng Lin quickly guessed that this thing was probably part of the Xia Guo Petroleum offshore drilling ship, when the monster came, martial law at sea, and the personnel were withdrawn, but some large equipment, such as oil exploration drilling ships and the like, were still there, and then they were directly smashed to the bottom of the sea by their own trick "Fire Meteor", but I didn't expect that after so many years, there were still wreckage preserved in the desert.

"Fortunately, the traces have been corroded and cannot be seen from the original, otherwise it would ......"

Thinking of a group of scientific bulls around the world gathered in the high-tech laboratory, and then after unremitting research and efforts, it was finally discovered that the mysterious metal wreckage of this other world turned out to be the drilling ship of Xia Guo...... Cheng Lin shuddered.

……

……

The convoy started again, only this time everyone was more serious.

Each vehicle is equipped with a Perception practitioner who is exploring the desert in a different way.

The convoy stopped several times during this time, and some pale, bizarre skeletons were dug out from under the dunes.

The consensus was that it was a creature of the region, which had rotted after death and had its bones buried.

Most of these are not very large, and few have a tall head.

And from the bones, the body is more slender.

Probably just moving under the sand.

I also encountered several attacks, all of which were easily dealt with by everyone.

The highest-level monsters I've ever seen are Sanpin, and I haven't seen elite monsters, probably because they're still on the verge of projection.

This made Cheng Lin feel a little anxious.

After walking for a while, everyone gradually became familiar with this place, but it was too inefficient for a group of people to gather together and explore such a large area.

After the convoy stopped for the eleventh time, Huang Yin gathered everyone together and decided to assign the team and disperse to explore.

"Now assign teams, a team of ten people, and those who are named will enter the queue according to the requirements, and each team will be equipped with a car, and the distance between each other will be kept within one kilometer, so that they can support each other, and each team will be allocated enough flares, potions, and food...... If there is a danger, signal immediately, and the two teams closest to each other must immediately support ...... Alright, let's start reading the personnel assignment list! ”

As the names were clicked one by one, ten queues appeared.

Cheng Lin stood at the back of the team, listening to the roll call while thinking about how to reasonably break away from the team and act alone.

"Why don't you use the same method as the last fairy island projection? Or the experience of the elven floating land......"

Cheng Lin pondered, and suddenly felt that there was no one around.

He came back to his senses, looked around, and was shocked to find that he was the only one standing behind the whole group, and the rest of the people were already in place.

Then he listened to Huang Yin's "snap" and snapped the folder, and said loudly: "The team is assigned, and the captains will take the team to set off!" ”

"Yes!"

Hundreds of monks replied in unison, majestic.

When this shout fell, the lonely Cheng Lin raised his hand weakly and asked, "That'...... What about me? ”
