Chapter 57: Beyond the Sand Sea

Just when Zhou Yu thought he was going to die, a huge curtain rolled up from the bottom up and caught him. The curtain was hot and slimy, as if it were something alive. Like, it seems to be the guy's tongue. He even clearly looked at two figures in the distance, and the one who was closer to him was Bolada, the young man sat in the tongue of the giant toad, and reached out to him to make a V-shaped gesture, which was still taught to him by Zhou Yu.

Victory, and victory? Victory yarn, huh? Alas, the rooster crows and the dog steals all his life, but he makes a toad's dinner. Zhou Yu sighed, he was unwilling, he was really unwilling. Forget it, if you come here, you can be safe, how many minutes will I live? Is it okay to borrow another 500 years from heaven? To borrow or not to borrow? I have a house mortgage.

When he was thinking wildly, the heat under his ass made Zhou Yu unable to sit still. Oops, hot, hot ass! Before he could stand up, a huge flood of power came from behind him, as if he had been hit in the back by a heavy punch from Mayweather, and he bounced out and flew into the night sky.

The night sky is so beautiful that the sun has set. The four moons have risen, are the stars in the distance desert people? What do you eat at night? Is there a spicy skewer of incense? Remember to leave me two strings of bean skin.

It's nice to be in the air, and it's even better if you have a parachute. TMD, at this time, he saw Borada, who came from behind, continuing to gesture in the air with a V, rolling forward for a while, soaring for a while, you kid really don't know how to die, take this as Nordic combined?

flew for half a minute, and Zhou Yu thought a lot during this time. I thought of the egg fried rice my mother made, the parking fee of five yuan owed to the security guard at the door, and the unfinished work record.

Falling, falling, it's over.

With a "pop", it fell into the water.

What the? Fell in the water?

The cold water stirred him up and brought him back to reality from his psychedelic life.

There was a sea around, Zhou Yu held his breath and dived for half a minute, making sure that there was no doubt that there was water all around. Could this be the sea of Kunyao? In this way, Nika's spell was to summon the toad, and the toad squirted out with a huge tongue curling around the three of them, giving them a ride. Alas, the witch is to blame.

"Nika!"

"Bolarda?"

Zhou Yu looked around in the slight night, constantly stepping on the water under his feet. The buoyancy of this water is not very large, and he tasted it when he dived in just now, and it was fresh water. Therefore, it is not strictly a sea, but only a large lake.

"Nika?"

"Beau-"

"Poof! What's the monster called? Shut up! After a splash of water in front of him, the water hibiscus appeared in front of him, spit out a mouthful of water and tilted his head and shook his hair, and the sassy water droplets sparkled behind him, which made Zhou Yu feel relaxed for a while. If Nika is a good girl, she should be no worse than those Internet celebrities, and it shouldn't be difficult to get a side hustle of live broadcasting.

"Look, see Bolada?" Zhou Yu asked anxiously.

"No, didn't we come down together?" Nika asked, confused.

"yes, but I forgot to ask this kid if he could swim."

"What are you kidding? The Holy Son can't swim? What about the crooks? Nika gave him a blank look.

really made Zhou Yu right, this half-hung son really can't swim. Borada was born on the mainland since he was a child, and grew up juggling by asking for food, not to mention swimming in this water-hungry Kuzsia, where is it difficult to draft, where can I have the conditions to learn?

The two searched eagerly, and finally found the half-sinking Borada, and the boy fainted. It may be choking on water, or it may be that the posture is wrong when it falls, and it is smashed unconscious on the water surface with huge tension. Seeing if you will still play in the air and smile in the future, the Metropolitan Governor scolded in his heart.

In this way, Zhou Yu was holding him below, Nika was supporting him, and the three of them slowly rowed forward. The sky is getting darker and darker, and I can't see clearly whether the road ahead is auspicious or vicious, Zhou Yu is silent, aren't you familiar with the road! You lead the way.

"This is what you call the elevator?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but have a lot of question marks running around in his heart, and opened his mouth to ask her.

"I didn't say the elevator, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm talking about the ladder, what are you doing with this guy? Swim fast! It should be almost there. ”

Zhou Yu floated up and down on the water. Shook his head, what elevator, ladder? I've let you say everything, forget it, I won't ask. Asking too many questions will make you angry.

"Isn't that swimming? I'm not the big toad, why don't we change it, and you're below and I'm above? Zhou Yu snickered and said, in exchange for another blank eye.

Suddenly, something came under his feet, and it hurt him. It looked like it had touched something, and the hard texture was not sand, but like rock. Zhou Yu stepped on it tentatively and landed on the ground.

"It's here!"

The ground under your feet is step by step, and you can step up and down, and it feels like a right angle cut by a huge stone. Strange, if it is really a ladder, is this the "ladder of heaven"? Zhou Yu muttered in his heart, this place called the Sea of Kuo is very tight, and he needs to be more careful.

The two of them went to the ground and put Bolada flat on the huge stone steps, and Zhou Yu rhythmically pressed his chest and lungs, and two sets of one-two-three-four, two-two-three-four. Poof, spit out a big mouthful of water, and the kid woke up.

"I—Where am I?" Borada woke up from a dream.

"On the island of the Holy Son." Nika said firmly.

"What? I—I've arrived on the island of the Holy Child? Bolada struggled to half-lie up, leaning on Zhou Yu and looking around. For Zhou Yu, the unknown place is already a return to his hometown. The feeling of coming home has an incomparable attraction for every fallen leaf that drifts away.

The moon rises and the sun sets. The sky and the sea are communicative, and a piece of yellow and blue merge. Zhou Yu looked into the distance, his face became solemn.

"I said, Miss Nika, we have climbed this ladder and saved people. Now it's your turn to tell a story, right? ”

"Oh? What story to tell? ”

"I ask you, what are you wearing with the armor of anointing?"

"You know everything, what else are you asking?"

"Then have you been to this sea of squalls?"

"Never came."

"No, how do you know this will work?" The answer is really indefensible.

"I read it from my father's notes, and I did everything from memory, including spells, rituals, and routes."

"Oh, by the memory of the notes. Then I would like to ask, as partners, should you be honest and share what you know with us to avoid such a passive situation? Zhou Yu asked her matter-of-factly.

"It's gone. Nothing else. ”

"What? Without? ”

"Yes, no. There is so much recorded in the notes, and there is no record of where the Wings of Mercy are, or what is on this island. ”

"Good, good, good, you're gone as soon as I ask. I don't ask you, you're a secret. Forget it, I won't ask in the future, you love to talk, if you don't like to talk, you will be bored, let's cooperate and scatter, and the two don't owe each other. Zhou Yu bit his lip and said, this girl is really powerful!

The three of them briefly rested for a moment and looked around. From the border of the Kuzsia continent, a few miles away, to this isolated island in the sky, all three of them felt so sinister, so psychedelic, so overwhelmed.

The place where you go ashore seems to be the back of a mountain, and everything in front of it is blocked by the mountain, and you have to take a detour to go inland.

"Let's divide into two ways, you two will find the way from that side, and I will go from this side." Nika pointed to the left side and then to the right.

"No, I don't agree. If you leave us here, how are we going to get out? Zhou Yu said categorically, the origin is still distrust of this girl.

Nika didn't argue either, and walked in front silently, as if she agreed. However, Zhou Yu thought to himself, and you couldn't help but disagree, although you are wearing the armor of the anointing, but the other three holy relics are on Lao Tzu, forgive you and you will not fall into the well and the fish will die and the net will be broken.

The three of them groped and walked for more than ten minutes, and finally reached the end of the mountain, but it was an endless water surface that was impassable.

"It seems that we can only go up the mountain." Bolada spread his hands.

"Okay, then climb it, there is a road for the road in the book mountain. The last thing I am afraid of in my life is climbing mountains, but I said Bolada, you have to take care of your back, in case you are kicked on the top of the mountain, you will die without a place to be buried. Zhou Yu said haha, but in fact, there was something in the words.

Nika gave him a blank look, apparently hearing what he meant, and volunteered to walk ahead.

The three of them searched back and forth a few times, and they really gained something. A path leads to the top of the mountain at the foot of the mountain, which is not wide but paved with stone steps, saving a lot of effort to climb the mountain. Zhou Yu pedaled the smooth stone ladder under his feet, and thought to himself: It seems that this place must have been inhabited many years ago, otherwise what was the purpose of digging this stone ladder.

The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the more plants there are. Unlike the barren Kussia continent, there is no yellow sand here, perhaps because of the abundant water sources, the vegetation is very dense, and the tall and fat shrubs and trees are craggy, so that people have to raise their hands to block those branches to move forward smoothly.

Bolada was very happy, he looked left and right with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, picking a strange flower from the left and pulling a strange grass from the right.

"Governor, look, look, drunken grass!"

"Look, Governor, this is a zombie flower. I've heard the people say that poison made from the pollen of this flower can make people immortal, zombie-like. Bolada had surprise in his eyes.

"Uh-huh, got it!" Zhou Yu was obviously not interested in these things, and his eyes did not leave Nika's back for a moment, for fear that this Nizi would play tricks again.

I don't know how long I climbed, but I was finally able to see the top of the mountain in the starry sky. Perhaps it's because it's closer to the moon, and it's nighttime but it's full of light, so you can see everything around you in plain sight. Seeing the hope of reaching the top, the three of them quickened their pace.

"Hey, except for Wushan, it's not a cloud!" As soon as he reached the top, the Metropolitan Governor stretched his waist, soothed his back and knees, which had been hunched, and let out a long breath. Before the qi was finished, he was stunned by the scene under the mountain, and the whole person was petrified, standing there motionless.

The three of them were stunned by the scene in front of them, at the foot of the mountain was a huge palace, towering in the basin surrounded by mountains on all sides, in the middle was the majestic main hall, and the huge auxiliary hall next to it was surrounded by concentric circles, standing still in the night sky, without any life.

The most surprising thing is that outside the gate of the palace castle stands a statue as high as the mountain, from head to toe is afraid to be two or three hundred meters high, the whole stone statue is carved from some kind of luminous stone, and it still glows fluorescent at night. The Colossus has a kind demeanor, wearing a crown and long hair, and seems to be the image of a woman. She held a torch in her hand, and she didn't know what material it was made of, and the red flames burned in the night sky, illuminating Miyagi as bright as day, which made people feel fearful.

"W-This?" The Governor was so shocked that his tongue was knotted.

Nika didn't care about the two of them, and knelt down and kowtowed three times to the statue. His eyes were closed, and his expression was solemn and reverent.

"Miracles, miracles, how manpower, material resources, and financial resources must be used to build such a colossus. It's comparable to the Colossus of the Sun God, it's a miracle! The Governor saw that Nika ignored him, so he had to stand there and sigh.

Note: The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of Antiquity, was built in the port of Rhodes, Greece, on the Aegean Sea. Completed in 282 BC, it is a bronze statue of Helios on the Sun Hill in Greece. Fifty-six years after its completion, it was destroyed by an earthquake in 226 BC. Despite its destruction, this wonder of the ancient world has inspired modern artists such as the French sculptor Augustus Bartholdi, who is famous for building the famous Statue of Liberty.

"At this moment, I want to recite a poem!" Still no one paid attention to him, Zhou Yu shrugged his shoulders helplessly, looking at Nika who was kneeling reverently and Borada who was stunned next to him.

"The sea washes and the sun sets, and where the harbor is located, there is a huge woman with a torch in her hand, radiating the light of freedom...

"Shut up, why are you talking so much nonsense?" Nika looked back and glared.

"Nonsense? Cut, that's a famous quote from the famous poet Emma Lazarus! You don't understand it. Zhou Yu was also a little unhappy, he hated it most when others disturbed him to chant poetry, it turned out that Ma Hemei, who lived upstairs, liked to listen to him lewd and wet the most.

"In front of the statue of King Xun, can you show some respect?" Nika said with a cold expression.

"W-What? You—Do you say it again? Zhou Yu was taken aback by what she said, and couldn't believe his ears.

"I said that in front of King Sund, stay quiet!" After Nika finished speaking, she continued to turn back and bow reverently.

Zhou Yu's head thuded and he lost consciousness.

This is actually a statue of Tatsumi?

Tatsumi turned out to be a woman.
