Chapter 147: Quicksand Group.
PS: There is one more in the afternoon! Hope to collect!
Well, this little Lori is very vigilant...... But then again, do you look so much like a weird millet? Everyone who knows me can say that I am a sunny youth of the new century!
"I've said it's serious, can you blame me if you don't listen?" Wang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said innocently, looked around, and then leaned into Tang Meng's ear: "First of all, I have to tell you that there is a dangerous thing that has been following us!" β
"Something dangerous? Where, where, where! After hearing this, Tang Meng clenched the baguette in her hand and looked around in surprise, she had been in a semi-meditative state most of the time before, and, ahem, she had been on guard with all her might...... Wang Chen, who was beside him, didn't notice that there was anything else at all.
"It seems that you didn't exchange the information, and the place we are in now has a resounding name - the Death Desert! And we are honored to be targeted by the 'Grim Reaper' in the Desert of Death. As he spoke, Wang Chen smiled and pointed to the quicksand in the desert, leaned into Tang Meng's little Lori's ear and said mysteriously: "Try to be as quiet as possible, our conversation about the mission can't be heard by it, otherwise according to the rules, the reincarnation space will deduct survival points!" That's why I picked you up. β
Tang Meng glared and shook her slender body, although she was very dissatisfied with being held in Wang Chen's arms by the princess, but what this guy in front of her said was reasonable, she could only nod helplessly, indicating that she would no longer speak loudly.
Is this the legendary righteous and bright hooligan?
Wang Chen looked at the helpless expression of the little Lori in his arms, and suddenly realized that he had unconsciously completed a feat that he would not do at all...... Although this feeling is not bad, Wang Chen has a trace of awkwardness in his heart for no reason.
What's wrong with you today? Change to your previous self, don't say embarrassed when you meet a girl, but at least you will keep your distance, and why is it so abnormal today?
What exactly has happened to me unconsciously?
Wang Chen rubbed his forehead and bowed his head and groaned, but then he shook his head and did not continue to think deeply. After all, now is not the time to think about this, the troubles in front of you are still waiting to be solved by yourself, and you can't be distracted.
With a wave of his hand, Dao Dao Divine Energy spilled out from Wang Chen's palm, enveloping him and Tang Meng's figures to prevent any native creatures of this world from eavesdropping on their next conversation...... Especially the terrible monsters underground!
"I think there's a good chance that the guy in this Desert of Death is a side quest, and while it's a bit dangerous, I'm going to try to communicate with it. Tang Meng, would you like to team up with me to solve this task? Wang Chen's face was serious, and after he finished speaking, he described to Tang Meng what he saw in the ground - that huge eye!
"Are you sure 'it' is sane?" After listening to Wang Chen's description, Tang Meng looked hesitant and a little unconvinced, after all, there are many irrational and terrifying monsters in Greek mythology, and their strength is often not much weaker than that of real gods.
"There must be, and I'm guessing it's probably the mythical creature of ancient Greece, the Cyclops."
Wang Chen hesitated for a moment, although he had already guessed through the one-eyed that the terrifying creature in the underground was a cyclops, but in mythology, the cyclops also had two legends.
In Hesiod's mythology, the cyclops were the children of Ouranos and Gaia, who were thunder, lightning, and thunderbolt, respectively, and were characterized by "one-eyed" eyes, with only one eye in the middle of their forehead. And Ouranos feared their power and imprisoned them in the dark abyss.
Later, Zeus freed them from the dark abyss in order to fight the Titans. They forged weapons for Zeus and others, so that Zeus overthrew the rule of the Titans and became the new king.
However, Zeus later crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and once again imprisoned the three Cyclops into the ground, and no one knows where they are now. Legend has it that they were held separately in places where they were restrained, and waited for the prophesied overthrow of Zeus' rule to come and lift the seal for them.
In contrast to the above, there is another mythological story, the Odyssey written by the Homeric poet, in which the cyclops are the children of Poseidon and a race that lives in a distant land. This race is characterized by being brutal, cannibalistic, and powerful.
If it is the former, then it is certainly imprisoned in it without fear. And if it is the latter, it will be a little dangerous, but Wang Chen is not afraid of him, Poseidon's descendants cyclops can form a group, which means that the individual strength is at most a second-class god level.
The main question is, how do you communicate with it? You can't really dig a thousand meters into the ground and run to it, right?
Perhaps, you can try to awaken his consciousness.
Thinking of this, Wang Chen slowly flew down from the air and stood in the middle of the quicksand, and Tang Meng in his arms also blushed, and quickly jumped down from his arms and ran to the side, patting the dust on his clothes while staring at Wang Chen with strange eyes.
Wang Chen squatted down and touched the quicksand on the ground with his hand, pondered for a moment, turned his head to Tang Meng, who was still angry, and said, "Tang Meng, do you have any way to communicate from a distance?" β
"No!!" Tang Meng replied angrily, obviously very unhappy that Wang Chen carried her into the air.
Wang Chen could only smile apologetically, and then continued to think about how to communicate with the Cyclops underground.
If you want to communicate, it's really difficult, Wang Chen's divine sense can only play a role in exploration, and Tang Meng, a battle mage who can only use dazzling patterns, doesn't have the magic to communicate, is it really possible to dig 500 meters into the ground?
Fortunately, he will be on the field of dungeon, the native escape scroll that Liu Bin gave him has learned, although it is only a basic scroll, but it can allow the user to travel through the land more flexibly, and Wang Chen is just right to use it at this moment!
"Well, it seems that if you use earth to separate these quicksands, you may be able to dig 500 meters into the ground...... Tang Mengyo, are you ready to go underground? β
"Huh?"
Tang Meng looked at Wang Chen in surprise: "You really plan to solve this side quest?" Although the quicksand group can change the terrain and make people disorienting, isn't it okay to just fly through the sky? β
"Xiaomeng, you're still too naΓ―ve, do you think I'm full of food and have to meddle in my business? As I said, it's not just the quicksand that leads people to lose their way, but also the monster in the ground intervening in the soul, and if you want to get out of here, you guess there's no other way than to solve this task. Wang Chen helplessly pulled the quicksand on the ground, why didn't he want to leave here early and go to the land of chaos?
But since that's the case, let's solve this side quest and go to the Land of Chaos, I'm really looking forward to what kind of mission it will be.
"Little Tang Meng, don't waste time, let's have a quicksand adventure!"
Before Tang Meng could react, Wang Chen got up and burst out of the earth elemental true qi, controlling the sand under his and Tang Meng's feet to quickly fall.
