Verse 25 A door buried deep in the ground
The wind is cold, and the sky is full of yellow sand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was noon, but it was as dark as dusk.
In the raging wind, three people, five sand lizards, and a total of eight figures with pale yellow shields were moving forward with difficulty.
The howling wind roared like countless monsters in my ears, and I couldn't hear anything but my own heartbeat.
And the pervasive yellow sand desperately drilled into people's eyes, ears, noses, mouths and cuffs collars, if it weren't for the pale yellow shield covering the crazy sand, Chen Yin even felt that he would be blocked by the yellow sand and then suffocated to death.
Chen Yin didn't expect that the weather in the desert was like a child's face changing, just now the sky was still clear, and in the blink of an eye, the wind rose flat, rolling up the sand and dust in the sky.
Fortunately, even in such a violent wind, the one-eyed dragon still did not lose its way and still moved forward firmly.
In fact, there is no other way for a few people, there is no place to hide in the endless desert, and if they stop, with the amount of sand and dust carried by the wind now, several people will be in danger of being buried alive in an instant.
So, keep moving forward is the way to save your life.
Facing the wind and moving forward with difficulty, Chen Yin was already half-lying on the back of the sand lizard, even if there was a shield to filter out the dust, he still couldn't breathe air from the wind, so he could only use his hands to block the nose and mouth to create a "nest wind area", laboriously absorbing air between these small square inches.
The heavy wall of wind kept pressing and pressing again, as if there was no end to it. Just when Chen Yin had begun to forget the number of inhalations for the thirty-second time and began to start over again, he suddenly felt a lightness in front of him, and when he looked up, the sun was already shining, and only a few wisps of breeze were left on his cheeks.
Looking back, the sand and dust in the sky were gone, and the desert ahead had returned to calm.
“…… Whew, finally survived. The one-eyed dragon breathed a sigh of relief, "If it weren't for Your Excellency's shield, this sandstorm would have killed people's ......."
As the one-eyed dragon spoke, he suddenly saw something flying over from the corner of his eye, and subconsciously reached out to catch it......
"Smack."
The one-eyed dragon took it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a glass bottle with a beautiful amber liquid.
"What is this?" The one-eyed dragon was stunned.
"Bloom, I bought it in the Golden Harbor." Chen Yin took out another bottle, pulled out the cork with a "pop", and poured half a bottle with a bang.
"Cool—burp......" Chen Yin burped loudly, "How far is it from the sand thieves' lair?" ”
"I'll look at ......"
The one-eyed dragon solemnly took out a plank from his bosom, and there was a thumb-sized hole in the board, and after passing a cotton thread through the round hole, the one-eyed dragon took the cotton thread in his mouth, and fiddled with it for a moment in the distance, and then replied:
"It's close, you should be able to see it when you go up to the sand dunes in front of you."
When Chen Yin and his star climbed the newly born sand dune, a reddish-brown Gobi desert appeared in the distance.
"It doesn't seem like a good place to be."
"It seems that this is so, but there is a sweet well under those stones, and it is from this sweet well that Wulutu started."
In the introduction of the one-eyed dragon, the group comes to a boulder that has become too beautiful to be. Here, the one-eyed dragon motioned for Chen Yin and the witch to stop, took out a small hammer and gently hit a relatively smooth part of the boulder. He typed it regularly, and it seemed to be some kind of simple code.
After knocking on the stone, the one-eyed dragon found a place to sit down.
"I don't know how they know what the people up there look like, but they've been watching us since we came in." The one-eyed dragon smiled, "Your Excellency, wait, these sand thieves are like ground rats, they will never come out if they are not sure that there is no danger." ”
"I see, I said where did so many rats come from?" Chen Yin suddenly turned around, grabbed a mouse-like animal, only the size of a palm, and smiled at the red-eyed little thing with the back of its neck.
"Hurry up and open the door, I'll ask a question and leave, don't force me to bury you alive." Chen Yin said with a cruel smile, and then threw the little mouse-like animal casually, and saw the little thing squeak and find a gap and get in.
"Your Excellency...... This...... What if they don't come out? The one-eyed dragon didn't expect Chen Yin to do this, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.
"It's okay, they'll come out. Otherwise......" Chen Yin touched his pocket, as if he was thinking about what cards to use.
"I have two Grey Orc Shaman's seismotes." The black-haired girl flicked her ponytail and recounted in a calm tone: "It is said that a single earthquake technique can cause landslides and earth cracks, and I think it should be more powerful in this sandy terrain." ”
"Uh......" Chen Yin hesitated slightly, and then asked as soon as he could, "You...... Can you really use a shaman class card? ”
"Yes." At the same time as the girl's voice, a soul link was also established between her and Chen Yin.
"Of course not." Vittoria replied in the soul link.
“……”
The two voices that sounded in his ears and in his head almost at the same time made Chen Yin lose sight of one or the other, and he was stunned for a second before he realized that what Vittoria said was no.
"That's it......" Chen Yin said this, but another message was sent out in the soul link: Don't be debunked by you!
"No way, I can smell the stench of the gray orc shaman from far away!"
Along with this passage came the witch's strong disdain.
In addition to being able to transmit information, soul links are naturally indispensable, but the appearance of other people's emotions in their own minds always makes Chen Yin, an outsider, feel very unaccustomed.
"Rumble ......"
Just as the two were talking silently, there was a sudden tremor on the ground, and then the one-eyed dragon slowly cracked a gap that only allowed one person to pass through.
An old voice came from behind the gap: "What do you two want to know, two noble lords?" I must know it all......"
"There's only one thing I want to know, and that's where the 'door' that the jackal has entrusted you to find is." Chen Yin got straight to the point.
“……”
After a moment of silence, suddenly a piece of parchment flew out, and then the old man's voice rang out: "Just under the 'Great Wall' three miles away, if you look closely, you should still be able to find the traces we dug before." ”
"Hmm......" Chen Yin was silent for a while.
"The old man assures that what he said is absolutely true, and there is no lie."
"So, show me your face." Chen Yin stopped Vittoria, who wanted to speak, and said to the rift.
“…… This ......"
"Even if you hide underground, you can't jump the earthquake spell, so why are you afraid of being seen by me? Are you a gray orc? ”
After these words came out, the one-eyed dragon found that Chen Yin's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, he could almost cut gold and jade, and if he touched it slightly, it was as if he had been cut, and quickly retracted his gaze and looked down at his toes.
"This ...... Of course not. An old man with white hair slowly poked his head out of the crack.
Skill: Marking.
In Chen Yin's field of vision, a bright red indicator appeared above the old man's head, and as long as Chen Yin appeared near this hunter marker, he would naturally feel where the marked target was.
"You ......" The white-haired old man obviously knew what Chen Yin had done, but he didn't know what Chen Yin had done.
"Okay, I remember you, and if I don't find it there, don't blame me for being rude." After Chen Yin finished speaking, he dragged Vittoria and turned her head away.
The old man watched Chen Yin's back disappear over a sand dune before he sighed and retracted into the crack.
With a "rumbling" sound, the chasm that had just opened closed again, as if there had never been a cave here.
……
The drawings and descriptions given by the old sand thief let the one-eyed dragon know the specific location, maybe he was afraid of talking too much, maybe he was just distracted, and he only led the way in front but didn't dare to talk nonsense to Chen Yin and them.
“…… There are gray orcs there. Vittoria said quietly.
"So what?" Unlike Vittoria, Chen Yin seems to be very indifferent.
"The Grey Orcs are ......"
"Enemies?" Chen Yin smiled disdainfully, "No, I think they're just a pack of coyotes." And it's also a coyote facing an existential crisis. Ever since I learned what your Church of Light is doing, I've felt that those gray guys are actually pitiful. ”
"Hmph." Maybe it's because the colonial war of the Holy Light Church seems unjust, or maybe it's simply disdain for Chen Yin's views, anyway, the response from the ponytail girl's mouth is such a dry word that represents a lot of meaning.
"Whether it's humans or gray orcs, as long as they don't stop us, why bother making trouble?"
"Don't you think it's strange that the gray orcs are all here?" Vittoria couldn't help but say.
"What's so strange about that, the people of the Shadow Church have appeared, and now I am not surprised that even if someone from the Holy Light Church blocks our way." Chen Yin said with a smile, "These people can't be killed, as long as they don't stop us, everything else is easy to say." ”
"But......" Vittoria was still a little unwilling, "those gray orcs must have no good intentions when they came to the depths of the desert!" ”
"Needless to say? So we'd better find something to do and go home. Chen Yin sighed, "Your organization here has been around for thousands of years, and God knows how much wealth and channels they have accumulated." ”
"You're just afraid of trouble." Vittoria completely saw through Chen Yin.
"Haha, maybe."
……
I don't know how long I walked, but when Chen Yin raised his head again, the "Great Wall" had already emerged a little bit from the sand dunes in the distance.
As it gets closer, the "Wall of Greatness" becomes majestic.
The black and towering cliffs, and the endless golden sand dunes, seem to be completely different landscapes that are forcibly pinched together, and the distinctions are clear, making people's hearts rise leisurely with a mixture of shock and weirdness.
Every time he saw this cliff-like high wall, a question flashed in Chen Yin's mind......
"You say, it's tens of thousands of years old, right? So far, there is no trace of wind erosion. ”
"Of course, the dwarves have been mining the Black Rock of Bagan for thousands of years, so this great wall in front of you is here." Vittoria seems to have given up on keeping it secret from Chen Yin, and this kind of thing is said casually.
Although "......" didn't know what Bagan Black Rock was, Chen Yin still kept his mouth shut. Because he has seen something more important.
Not far ahead, a huge sand pit lay silently.
"......" After Chen Yin and Vittoria glanced at each other, they couldn't help but speed up their pace and rushed towards the sand pit at the foot of the Great Wall.
When the two of them came to the sandpit, a huge stone door appeared in front of them.
The bunker is a half-vertebrae.
The side of the desert is naturally a standard cone, and the side of the "wall of greatness" is naturally a knife cut straight up and down.
The wall buried under the sand was exactly the same as the one above, and the huge stone door was embedded in the ground three or four meters above the ground.
It seems that the gate has not been fully excavated, and is only about half of it, and the rest of the stone gate should still be buried under the sand. And judging from the part that has been exposed so far, this stone gate should have been more than ten meters high!!
Combined with the three or four meters from the door beam, the part that is stepped into the ground alone is almost 7 stories high!
Standing at the foot of the "Great Wall" and looking up, I still can't see its height.
“…… The vicissitudes of life......" Chen Yin suddenly sighed, "After so many years, God knows how many things have been buried in the yellow sand......"
"You can go back." Vittoria said to the cyclops.
"I ......"
"Go back, it's your honorarium." Chen Yin threw a gospel gold coin over, "If you can't get along here, go to the port of Yabukana, find the captain of the Sea Eagle, and say that you are my guest." ”
"Of course, if you want to continue messing around in Stone Town, I advise you to hurry back, kill the others, and then put your patience back...... Or at least stand firm, and when we come back and you're still alive, we'll help you settle the other forces. ”
When Chen Yin said good and bad things, the one-eyed dragon left.
He thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to go back to Stone Town. Although this desert is barren and inhospitable, his life is inseparable from this desert. So he chose the hardest path.
As a quasi-legendary jackal, he can rule Stone Town, but the one-eyed dragon, who only has a 6-star strength, can hardly achieve the command of a jackal.
He knew that he might not be able to escape the black hands of others, and even if he escaped the black hands of others, he might not be able to withstand the invasion of other towns and even sand thieves, but he chose this path and walked without hesitation.
"The sand people are like the sand date palm tree, they can't survive without this desert." Vittoria said, looking at the back of the cyclops.
"The path you choose, you have to keep your blood and go on." Chen Yin no longer cared about that person, "What about the key?" It's time to take it out, right? ”
Vittoria glanced at him and didn't say a word, just silently pulled out a crystal clear card.
