Chapter 104: Cleopatra
Before entering the desert, Zhao Tian prepared a lot of food and water, and he also guessed that it would be difficult to find food in the Death Desert.
However, last night was too sudden!
Inexplicably fell into a strange darkness, and basically lost everything he carried.
I don't know how far away it is from the campsite next to the dead woods.
"Everything was normal, but suddenly it became dark, and the companion disappeared, followed by a woman's hand... โ
Zhao Tian recounted the strangeness he encountered, and when he recalled the situation at that time, he still had a little palpitations.
Looking at a green leaf in his hand, which was half the size of a palm, Zhao Tian's face was full of confusion.
Is this really for people to eat?
After getting acquainted with the elf Aisi, he stopped being polite, saying that he was hungry and asked for some food.
Of course, it's not for nothing, he still has some essence blood pills on him that he is willing to use to get married.
For more valuable things like the Essence Blood Pill, Zhao Tian usually carried it with him.
"If I really wanted what was in you, I wouldn't have saved you. Ai Xi shook his head with a smile, took out an emerald green leaf from the backpack beside him and handed it to Zhao Tian.
"A third-level transcendent life like ours can sustain a single leaf of life for ten days without eating or drinking. โ
It is said that the leaf of life is a specialty of the elves, cultivated in a special way, containing a special life energy that can replace food and water.
This leaf of life is basically similar to the legendary Bigu Dan in China.
Generally speaking, because it doesn't have much effect on the evolution of life, it's not too precious, but the elves have been relatively closed before, so few people know about the leaf of life in the transcendent world.
After hesitating for a long time, he still stubbornly stuffed the emerald green leaves in his hand into his mouth.
"It's not as unpalatable as I imagined!" he chewed gently, and the leaf of life quickly turned into a clear stream in his mouth, and a natural faint bitter taste slowly swayed, but it was unexpectedly not unpalatable.
The clear stream of the Leaf of Life painting soon flowed into the stomach and then slowly spread to the limbs.
Zhao Tian was lazy all over, very comfortable, that feeling was like resting after a full meal, without the strong hunger he had before!
"I remember what you said!"
The elf, who had been meditating for a long time, suddenly slapped his thigh with a look of sudden realization.
She was in high spirits and a little excited.
"That old man in the Hall of Elders once mentioned the existence in the Death Desert, and you're really lucky to have met it!"
"That should be the dark ominous, one of the most mysterious dangers in the legendary Death Desert!" Zhao Tian wondered, "Do you know the origin of the woman in the darkness?"
He heard a noticeable difference in the words of his savior, curiosity and yearning more than fear, and it was obvious that he knew something.
"No one knows where the Death Desert came from, and people don't even know how long the Death Desert has existed, but I'm sure there wasn't any of the darkness and ominousness you encountered in the Death Desert 2,100 years ago. โ
Dressed in green leather armor, Aisy pretended to be mysterious and said with a smile: "If you know the history of ancient Egypt, you should be able to guess who that woman in the dark is!"
"2,100 years ago, in ancient Egypt, beautiful women ..." Zhao Tian whispered to himself, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.
"You mean the famous Cleopatra!"
Aissi smiled and nodded.
History records that the last female pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Cleopatra VII, was a legendary figure more than 2,000 years ago.
She is beautiful and scheming, and she is a legendary woman with many mysteries.
Legend has it that in order to protect her country, the last female pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Caesar, the emperor of the ancient Roman Empire, and his most powerful subordinate Antony, provoked the relationship between two men, and was called Cleopatra by the world.
According to records, the Cleopatra was finally imprisoned by Octavian, the new emperor of ancient Rome, and she thought of a way to bite herself to death with a poisonous snake.
Of course, there are also theories that she was quietly poisoned and murdered by Octavian.
"History records that Cleopatra was buried with that Anthony at the end. Zhao Tiandao, his face was a little helpless.
He was just an ordinary person before, and Zhao Tian knew very little about the truth behind history.
"So what does the truth of history really look like?"
"According to the ancient records of our elven race, the strength of the transcendents of that era more than 2,000 years ago far exceeded that of now, and people like us were estimated to be cannon fodder in that era.
There were countless strong people in that era, and although the cultivation civilization had gone through several catastrophes, it was still quite prosperous!
Titled powerhouses that are almost impossible to find now were also common in that era..."
Ai Xi found that although the guy in front of him was very strong, he didn't seem to know a lot of things, not only explained in great detail, but even explained the specific division of the titled powerhouse.
The title powerhouse, through any kind of transcendent cultivation system, raises the life level to the third level above the existence.
It can be said that whether it is a fourth-level transcendent life, or a fifth-level, or even a sixth-level, it can be called a titled powerhouse, but in fact, what people generally call a titled powerhouse is only a fourth-level transcendent life.
A fifth-level transcendent, his life has undergone a metamorphosis again, becoming more powerful, and he can become a giant and be honored as a 'king'.
The sixth-level transcendent, the last step of the second-level life ladder, possesses incomparably terrifying power, and is a powerhouse standing at the top even in ancient times.
Each of the sixth-level transcendents can easily slaughter ordinary kings, and the gap between them and the fifth-level is very large, and they are respected by the transcendent world as peerless kings.
And Cleopatra is a peerless king.
However, the ancient Roman Empire was too powerful at that time! Whether it was Caesar, Antony, or later Octavian, they were all great beings who had sold the second ladder of life, above the peerless kings!
However, although the historical record conceals many things, the general situation is true.
Cleopatra did fight Caesar and Antony for the sake of the country, and was finally killed by Octavian with a special poison.
"No, why use poison when you can easily kill. Zhao Tian thought about it and asked this question.
"Probably something to do with something later!
Maybe it's for something in the desert of death. โ
Aisy nodded and continued to explain.
"When Cleopatra died, she was not buried with Antony, as is recorded in history, but was taken by Octavian into the depths of the Desert of Death.
Not knowing what was going on, Octavian, who was incredibly powerful, was seriously wounded and escaped from the depths.
He had received some unknown damage that he couldn't recover, and even his life level had dropped, and he was only barely level six.
Since then, there has been a strange 'ghost' in the desert of death, which is gradually called dark and ominous. โ
"Octavian seems to have been an emperor for many years!" Zhao Tian muttered, remembering that Octavian seemed to have been an emperor for 40 years.
didn't expect Zhao Tian to ask this question, Aixi didn't react at once, obviously not knowing the answer to this question.
"I don't know anything else, but that Octavian must be dead anyway, not as likely as the other old fellowsโ"
Zhao Tian's body has recovered most of it, and he can fully exert eighty or ninety percent of his combat effectiveness, he is ready to go, Aixi decided to go with him, his ability can play a big role.
Along the way, Zhao Tian and the others felt the changes in the aura of death around them, found their way, and rushed towards the depths of the Death Desert.
