Of course, the stone statue will not disappear into thin air, not even if it is a sacred image symbolizing the gods, but if the stone statue comes to life on its own, it may be.

"Heart of Water, hey, Heart of Water. Thinking about the purpose of his trip, and then thinking about the city that suddenly rose from the ground, looking at the chair in the hall that should have belonged to the god of water, Shul said with a strange expression, "Maybe we all guessed wrong, this is not a temple at all. ”

"Mausoleum?" said Saph in a low voice, "I felt like a mausoleum all the way, but I never dared to say it." ”

"Well, the Tomb of the Gods, a mausoleum built specifically for the gods to keep their eternal bodies. Shur nodded, "Otherwise, not many people would have carved so many frescoes on the walls of the temple, and only the mausoleum would do that." I started to think that it was just a unique habit of the native creatures, and now it seems, hey, I was wrong. ”

"In this way, the largest one is the abode of the gods, and the middle ones are the clergy of the Church who have dedicated to guarding the Holy Sepulchre, who have lived here from generation to generation and all their lives. After the death of the clergy, they continue their duties as undead guards, living in the small, irregular square towers at the outermost level, and regularly collecting offerings from the faithful in the surrounding area during sandstorms, not for the gods, but for the proper functioning of the city. ”

"No, no, it's too arbitrary, these are still uncertain, the only thing that can be determined is that these stone statues are by no means ordinary gods, and they are most likely the essence of divine beings. After lowering his head and muttering to himself for a while, Shur finally raised his head sharply, "Because when I gave the order to prepare for battle just now, I felt a fleeting fluctuation of divine power. ”

Whether it is a god statue or a god body, it is not strange to have divine power fluctuations, just like in the Dark Moon Temple, you can feel the breath of divine power everywhere, because that is the sacred domain of the gods. However, from the moment they entered the door to the present, no one was aware of the existence of divine power, which is one of the reasons why it is difficult for everyone to accept that the stone statue is the body of the god.

"You asked me if I felt it, do you mean that the divine power fluctuated?" Kelly said stunned, "I really didn't sense anything. ”

"I know, you're ......"

Shur suddenly fell silent, a sigh that did not belong to anyone present, sounded in his ears, the voice was soft, if it was nothing, but to Shuer's ears, it was as shocking as a thunderbolt.

"...... you" Seeing that the shadowchasers looked as usual, and no one showed any signs of abnormality, Shure said with a wry smile, "I haven't heard anyone sigh?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone understood that something was wrong, and no one heard a sigh except for Xiuer.

"Shuer, get out, this place is too weird. Mia, who has led the team for a long time, has a grim face, no matter who she is facing, whether it is the fluctuation of divine power or the sigh, only Xiuer can hear it, the other party is obviously targeting Xiuer, in the case of him being disturbed, Mia naturally knows how to deal with it, "Sandstorm or undead, as long as we are not afraid to pay the price, we can solve it, there is no need to continue to play games with them here." ”

"Don't rush, wait. "Well done, Schul gave praise with his eyes, and retreating is often the best way to break the deadlock.

As soon as the words fell, Shuer felt a violent vibration of the stone axe in his hand, and suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, and when he saw things clearly, he was already in the air, looking down at the spherical world covered with yellow sand under his feet.

"Has anyone seen a vision?" without panicking, Shul kept his body motionless, he had had an experience, and he was used to it.

However, there was no reply, only the sound of the roaring wind in my ears.

"I have limited hearing right now, and the sound in my ears is too loud. "Even though he was so noisy by the wind that he couldn't even hear his own voice, Shul tried to keep his volume as normal as possible," replied in a different way. ”

Immediately, the right arm was tapped a few times with different frequencies, which was the normal code word, and at the same time, the left hand was gently held, the palm of the hand was soft but the palm was covered with hard calluses, only Saf, who has been holding a sword for many years, would have such hands.

"I'm in the illusion now, everyone stays on guard, and if there is an overwhelming threat, evacuate immediately, and Moriah will take me away. The scene in front of me is constantly changing, but Shure's order is still in order, "If I can't recover for a long time, everyone rushes to the detachment point as quickly as possible, Mia automatically takes over the command and allows the use of secret weapons, and the order takes effect from then on." ”

After saying all the orders quickly, the secret words of receiving the order came from the palm of his hand, Shuer was a little relieved, the other party seemed to have no intention of interfering with his external perception, just wanted to show himself something, it seemed that the confused situation was finally coming to an end.

The wind is howling, the yellow sand is everywhere, and beneath your feet is a huge world covered in desert.

Although it is a desert, the world is full of life, with a large number of strange fish floating in the sand sea, insects and large lizards breeding around the oasis, and tenacious plants growing around the water source to keep all animals alive.

It seems that this is a very normal desolate world, the only anomaly is that there are four rocky giants in the desert, these giants often sleep for tens of thousands of days and nights of black sand and yellow sand, and then wake up and wander aimlessly on the land.

The scene changed, the large lizards had broken free from their restraints and stood up to live together against the threat from the desert and fish, while the four rock giants had also gained their senses and were being bowed down by the lizardmen. They already had distinct characteristics, fiery, ethereal, heavy, and soft, just like the priesthood they represented, the blue giants were the last to appear, but they still appeared.

The scene changed again, countless cone-shaped buildings were built on the desert, the lizard people's settlements were getting bigger and bigger, and although the four giants held the authority of the law in one hand, they still lived in the mortal world in their own bodies, sleeping and waking up, and they had been living with the lizard people for countless years, and they got along very well.

Suddenly the sound of crying came from the wind, and several lizardmen wept around a dead fellow, and the four giants watched from a distance, as if very curious. The lizardmen carried the deceased out of the city and placed the body in the desert, where a large number of small sand fish quickly surrounded the corpse and enjoyed the things to the fullest. Soon, the flesh of the corpse was devoured, and the lizardmen retracted the bones and began to cry loudly. The black giant, as if infected by grief, walked over and gently touched the white bones, who immediately stood up again and joined the ranks of the lizardmen, who erupted in violent cheers and greeted the returning dead with joy.

Day and night are constantly alternating, although not every dead can turn into an undead, but there are more and more bones that come back from the dead, and they have a unique advantage that they will not die again, and slowly become the dominant city and control the power of the city and sacrifices, and all the control of the city is controlled by the dead, and the living have become vassals of the dead, and they are busy all their lives in order to become the resurrected dead.

The world that walks with God is always so peaceful, and the stories of the living and the dead continue until one chance day, disaster creeps in.

In the sky, a huge crack suddenly opened, and countless black shadows poured out of the crack and frantically pounced on the earth. Wherever the shadow passed, the living fell to the ground and lost their lives, and the dead did not escape, completely losing their minds and becoming the walking dead, wandering all day long in familiar places, aimless and tireless.

The four giants were awakened by the wails of mortals in their deep sleep, and finally found a crack in the sky, and as gods, of course, they could not sit idly by, and each did his best, and began a protracted battle with the rift and the energy seeping from the rift.

I don't know how many years have passed, the war has finally been won, and the cracks in the sky have been completely closed, but the world is already desolate, there is not one living in a hundred, and the dead are all wiped out, all of them have become unconscious undead, and everything in the world of the sand and sea can only start from scratch.

Unfortunately, the four giants had no intention of worrying about these things anymore, and once again they stepped into the huge square tower that had been built to protect them from sleep, and this time, they never woke up again.

Unbeknownst to the lizardmen, however, this was only the beginning, and that a more terrible catastrophe was yet to come, one that would destroy them.

The catastrophe of the end of the world has struck.

The first thing that changed was the sun.

The sun, which once brought light and vitality to the earth, suddenly became extremely violent, and the scorching sun scorched the earth, making the whole world rise dozens of degrees, the plants withered and died, and the lizards hid in the square tower during the day to survive, and only at night could they come out of the square tower, hurriedly trying to survive.

But soon, it didn't work at night, because the second thing that changed was the wind.

From time to time, terrifying sandstorms blow at night, and with incomprehensible destructive power, sandstorms can easily tear flesh and blood, leaving only the bones behind.

If the lizardmen can survive these disasters, then the third change is devastating.

The water is gone.

The oases on which the lizardmen live have dried up one after another, the underground water veins buried under the sea of sand have all been cut off, the environment is getting drier and drier day by day, not only has there been no rain in the desert, but there are no clouds, and the whole world has become withered and shriveled, and life has been completely cut off.

In the end, even the earth was not spared, and the earth at night would never cease to exude the power of death, so that every dead corpse could stand up again.

Since then, only the wind has howled in the desert, and the undead who have long since lost their minds but are still able to draw energy from the earth.

"Whew," Shul let out a sigh, "So, who are you?"
