- "The Book of History: The Classic of Mountains and Seas"

In the belly of the continent, near Malgobi Lop Nur, there are three people walking in the wind and sand. Suddenly, a white light burst into the sky from a distance.

"Master, look, what's that?" a black-haired boy in green leather armor rode on a camel and asked the people around him with great difficulty.

The team of these three people consisted of two knights and a magician, and the young man who spoke just now was none other than Abby, the paladin whom Bert had met in the imperial capital. The other knight was about forty years old, dressed in the same attire, with blonde hair wrapped in a turban, and a resolute face that had been left with the marks of age. There is also a person who is a magician, wearing an emerald green *** magic robe, which should be the color of the wood system, a branch of the earth system. Although both the earth and wood types have a restraining effect on the wind type, it seems that this high-level mage is also very uncomfortable right now.

The old knight and the magician also saw the light at the same time, and they looked at each other for a moment, and both saw the seriousness of the situation in each other's eyes, so they immediately urged the camels to rush to the light.

Abby immediately urged his mount to chase after him, although he didn't understand what his master and magician were worried about, but this mission was personally sent by His Majesty the Pope, and it was sent to the paladin closest to Margobi in the shortest possible time using the internal information transmission system of the Holy See, and he naturally understood the seriousness of this matter. Abby understands that before he officially becomes a paladin, he has no right to know the specifics of the mission, and he can only carry it out unconditionally.

In fact, the specific reason for the mission was because of the explosion, and the explosion of such a huge energy at the junction of the two countries was enough to attract the attention of the high-level countries of the mainland. And the words of the Oslan Empire, the main person in charge of this matter, are vague. Later, the magic elves skyrocketed, making the leaders of various countries restless. In the end, each country tacitly formed an expedition to infiltrate the border of the Oslan Empire and go to Lop Nur to check the accident site. And Abby and the others arrived here, three months after the explosion.

Abby, his mentor Kane, and the high-ranking magician Pengamu, who also believes in the Holy See, formed a team of three, borrowed the Oslan Empire's military camel in the name of the Holy See, and plunged headlong into the Malegobi. It had been three days since they entered the Gobi, and all the water they had carried had been drunk, and just as they were about to find an oasis to replenish their water resources, a vision appeared.

The three of them came to the place where the white light came just now, and saw that it seemed to be a city ruin. It's just that I don't know why it's abandoned, and the broken building has been eroded by the wind and sand, and it is crumbling, and it is in ruins. Could anything be in a place like this? Abby braved the heat as she walked through the ruins.

"It should be around here, let's look for it separately and keep a distance of twenty meters. Be careful, don't be reckless, shout when there is danger. Kane clearly had a lot of experience with small-scale expeditions, and it was safer for the three of them to get together, but it was too slow, and the resources they were carrying couldn't afford to wait. But if you scatter aimlessly, if you encounter something like a desert giant scorpion or a desert velociraptor or something like that, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape except him.

The three of them rode slowly on camels, and although the distance of twenty meters was not far, but now the strong wind drove the yellow sand to block the view, and it was impossible to see anything in the distance.

"Come and see!" said Master Pengamu, who was walking in the center, as if he had noticed something, and the two of them immediately turned around and moved closer. It turned out that there was a stone on the ground that glowed dimly, and it was almost impossible to find it after being covered in sand.

Everyone looked at it, it was an inconspicuous jade pendant, the part that was not covered by sand seemed to be the appearance of a fish, and the material seemed to look like white marble. Abby jumped off the camel and carefully picked up the jade pendant, which turned out to be engraved with two fish, one white and one black, and the heads and tails of the fish were connected to form a Tai Chi pattern. Abby had seen this pattern in the books of the Holy See, and legend has it that Tai Chi was a totem believed in by the ancient Eastern Empire. It is said that in the Eastern Empire, Tai Chi represented the meaning of endless life, yin and yang. But how could such a thing appear on the continent of Shusari? And in such a remote desert area of the continent?

Abby carefully wrapped the jade pendant in cloth and handed it to Kane and Pengamu, even the high-ranking magicians and middle-aged paladins did not understand the meaning of the jade pendant. It's just that judging from the energy emanating from this jade pendant, this is by no means an ordinary thing.

Suddenly, the earth began to tremble, and the already precarious building collapsed. The frightened camels began to scurry, and the trio immediately reassured their mounts, without these desert boats, it would be difficult for them to get out of here. Fortunately, the earthquake only lasted for a short time. It's just that everyone is in shock, and bad luck has struck again.

Two white lights suddenly flashed from the yellow sand, and before the two huge camels that had just stabilized could react to what was going on, there were immediately two more blood marks on their long necks. "Be careful! there's an ambush!" Kane immediately jumped off his camel, took off his shield and spear, and stood in front of the fallen magician. Almost at the same time, another white light shot directly on Kane's shield, and with a "ding" sound, a dagger was bounced off.

If Kane hadn't reacted quickly to block the flying dagger for Pengamu, Pengamu, who hadn't had time to cast a spell, would have ended up like a camel.

On the other side, Abby was not on his mount, and the dagger thrown at him did not attack the camel, but pointed directly at him. However, he was dodged by the agile Abby.

"Their goal is the mount, Abby get the camel out of here!" Kane noticed that the other party seemed to be premeditated, and prioritized killing their mounts, so that even if the sneak attack was unsuccessful, he could take advantage of the favorable terrain to slowly wear them down. From here, it can take two days to reach the nearest city at the fastest, and in the middle is the endless Gobi Desert, and without a mount, it is easy for the attackers to kill them.

The only camel now is Abby's, and if the attackers kill it, the three of them will not be able to fly. Abby immediately drew her shield and leaned her back against the camel to drive it to a broken wall, and the boy looked around warily. At the same time, Kane and Pengamu gradually moved closer to him.

"Master, we are surrounded. Abby said to Kane. The wind had begun to lighten and the assailants in the distance were revealed. "This ...... Who the hell is this?" the appearance of the sneak attacker startled the magician.

The sneak attackers have human-like bodies, but they are more than two meters tall from head to toe! What does not match their height are their limbs and bodies, and they are terrifyingly thin! It is like a patchwork of bamboo poles, and if you look closely, all the sneak attackers are wrapped in bandages, except for the head that is exposed. It seems that because of the time, the bandages have begun to crumble in some places, revealing brown carrion. The flesh on their heads had also been corrupted, and several sneak attackers had fallen as they walked. When the wind blew, the air was instantly filled with a stench of corpses. Even the battle-hardened Kane couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach. Pengamu on the side couldn't stand it anymore and kept retching against the corner.

"It's a dry corpse! there are so many!" Kane, who is a paladin, instantly understands that this creature full of death is definitely not human, and unlike skeletons that are easily controlled by magic, dry corpses seem to be intelligent. Under normal circumstances, the dried corpses are the guardians of certain items, could it be that the jade pendant just now attracted them?

As if to confirm his thoughts, the three dried corpses in front of him threw out the daggers in their hands at the same time, and their target was Peng Jiamu, who was holding the jade pendant!
