Chapter 217: The Food Pyramid
In the dazzling mirage labyrinth, there are two tall figures walking.
Although the mirage maze can hardly tell the difference between reality and illusion with the eyes, as long as you have the ability to perceive, then the maze is only a slightly more difficult path to follow.
"How? Zebra, have you found Komatsu? ”
After Ah Yu defeated the attacking desert beast, he asked anxiously to Zebra, just now, the two of them separated from Komatsu.
When the three of them entered the red desert, they didn't know whether they were unlucky or lucky, and the quicksand suddenly appeared, and then Komatsu and the two camels were swept into the quicksand.
And along with the quicksand, there were also various fierce beasts, and after these fierce beasts saw the two of them, they attacked without hesitation.
Therefore, Ah Yu can only defeat the attacking beast, and by the way, Zebra uses his sonic map to find Komatsu who has been swept away by the quicksand.
Zebra can use sound wave echoes to locate like a bat, and then construct a 3D map in his mind, an ability that not only allows him to completely see through the mirage maze, but also allows him to find objects easily.
At present, the maximum range of his map is about 70,000 meters, and no other sonic abilities can be used during this time.
As the sonic map unfolded, Zebra's mind conjured up everything within 70,000 meters, and only after sorting out all the lives did he say intermittently.
"Found it, he was taken by quicksand to a considerable distance, and in addition to that, I also found traces of two other people, who have only now entered the mirage labyrinth, how proud they are."
"In quicksand? Is Komatsu still alive? Ah Lu immediately asked.
"I'm still alive."
After getting the answer that Komatsu was still alive, Ah Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and it was only then that he reacted to Zebra's next few words.
"The other two...... Those two people you heard in the Valley of the Sands? Didn't they enter the desert courtyard a long time ago? Where are they now? ”
"The sound frequency is exactly the same, it's them, and now they have just entered the mirage maze, and the target seems to be the food pyramid." Zebra said in a hoarse voice, and then looked at Ah Yu seriously.
"It's up to you to decide, Ah, are we going to the food pyramid before them? Or go find that little ghost? ”
For this question, which seemed to have two choices, Ah Yu grinned and said without the slightest hesitation.
"Then you still have to choose, of course you go to Komatsu."
After getting this expected answer, Zebra grinned: "Then come with me quickly, if you don't hurry, the imp will be farther and farther away from us." ”
With that, Zebra turned and walked towards the depths of the mirage labyrinth, and Ah Yu hurriedly followed.
……
On the other side, the entrance to the labyrinth.
"Oh? We've been discovered, and this sound wave is really powerful. Zombie Xia Yu shook his body, a little uncomfortable.
He had just turned on his Divine Sense, so he felt uncomfortable, and after turning on Divine Sense, he could not only clearly perceive everything around him, but also his own physical sensation would be infinitely amplified, and the barely perceptible sound wave bounced back to him as if it was swept by an electric current.
"It's supposed to be Zebra." A projection lit up on Xia Yu's watch, "His ability is sound waves, and then there is a sound wave map that can be called cheating, with a diameter range of 70,000 meters." ”
"That's really amazing, although our divine perception has long exceeded this range." While the zombie Xia Yu spoke, he retracted his divine sense perception by the way.
As early as the sound waves swept over him, he expanded the range of his divine sense, and then he found Ayu and Zebra, as well as Komatsu who was trapped in the quicksand underground.
It should be said that it is worthy of the luck of the little pine, after being swept into the ground by the quicksand, not only was he not harmed, but even the whole person slid towards the food pyramid.
Completely free from the scorching sun on the ground and the attack of fierce beasts, and even without the need to consume physical strength to walk, it is already close to the food pyramid.
Xia Yu, who knew the plot, even knew that the next Komatsu would enter the food pyramid without surprise, and then he was extremely lucky to get the ancient recipe cookbook.
The complete treatment of the protagonist is equivalent to the world consciousness stuffing all the benefits that can be obtained at this stage into his hands, and it is still the kind that cannot be lost.
Even Komatsu died twice in the early and late stages combined, and he was able to come back to life for various reasons.
"What you can't get is always in turmoil, and what is favored has nothing to fear." Zombie Xia Yu suddenly sighed.
Although Komatsu had no idea that he was favored, perhaps it was because of Komatsu's sincerity in cooking that the world favored him so much, after all, this is a world of food.
"The red of roses is easy to hurt dreams~ held in the hand but lost between the fingers~ and fell short~~"
“……”
Zombie Xia Yu turned his head to look at the delicious Xia Yu who suddenly started singing, a little speechless, even if he sings, why is it so ugly.
"Why do you look at me like that, didn't you sing it first?" Gourmet Xia Yu scratched his head a little unclear So, he just followed the other party's lyrics and continued to sing, isn't this okay?
“…… It's okay, you keep singing. ”
Zombie Xia Yu couldn't bear to look at it directly, he felt that there was another sand sculpture in the group, tsk, why couldn't he be more steady.
Could it be that the essence of his Xia Yu is a sand sculpture? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Zombie Xia Yu couldn't help but shake his head and threw out this terrifying conjecture, he couldn't think about it, otherwise he would always feel that he would gradually be infected.
As the two move forward, the food pyramid gets closer and closer to them.
Although there are occasional fierce beasts around them, they just let Xia Yu stay for a while, collect what they can eat directly, and stun those who can't eat it.
……
On the other side, at Alu and Zebra.
The two of them followed Komatsu's gliding route and kept chasing after each other, and because they had Zebra's sonic map, there was no risk of losing them at all.
However, the red desert with a body surface temperature of nearly 90 degrees made the two almost exhausted, but fortunately, special desert creatures occasionally appeared, allowing the two to replenish their energy and continue to move forward after hunting and eating.
"If Komatsu is still safe and sound, he won't be lucky in the other way, after all, with his physique, I'm afraid it will be difficult to endure this scorching heat." After adapting to the scorching climate, Ah Lu couldn't help but sigh.
He is able to adapt to this temperature quickly because of his gourmet cells, and in terms of Komatsu's physique, it is estimated that he has already passed out from heat stroke by now.
"Hehe, that little ghost may really have very bad luck." Zebra sensed the huge building in front of him and couldn't help but say, "That little imp is almost like he went there in the first place, could it be that he has a talent for approaching ingredients?" ”
As he spoke, Zebra climbed over a desert hill, pointed ahead and sighed, "In order not to lose that little ghost, I searched all the way here, and I ended up here." ”
Hearing Zebra say this, Ah Lu couldn't help but quicken his pace, and then jumped over the sand dunes.
"Oooh!!"
What appeared in front of him was a 500-meter-tall polyhedron, which had eight faces, unlike ordinary pyramids.
"Is this the food pyramid!!"
Looking at the huge building in front of him, Ah Lu couldn't help but exclaim, and then jumped down to the bottom of the pyramid.
"It's only a tiny part of the pyramid, just the tip of the iceberg."
Zebra, who had an echo map, could easily perceive that the pyramid in front of him was not only exposed, but as the map in his mind took shape, his expression gradually became stunned.
This is...... What?
A huge castle far exceeded his realization, and it was a giant castle that could never be built by human beings.
The so-called food pyramid is only the highest spire of the castle, and this slightly exposed spire has reached 500 meters upward.
"Hurry up, Ah, the imp has been scoured into the bottom of the pyramid." Zebra said in a hoarse voice as he walked towards the crevice entrance to the spire.
"It's incredibly big, and there are so many weird but untold shadows that are about to move."
There was another thing that Zebra didn't say, the two people who had appeared on his sonic map had already made it to the other side of the pyramid.
Now they not only have to find Coke before the other party, but also Komatsu who strayed into the inside of the pyramid in advance, but his physical strength is almost at the end.
Let's hope there will be enough prey inside the pyramid for him to replenish his strength.
……
At the same time, the other end of the food pyramid.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to be able to arrive at the same time without going the same way as them."
Zombie Xia Yu sighed as he looked at the huge pyramid in front of him, and at the same time, under the detection of his divine sense, the castle under the spire was also completely displayed in front of his eyes.
It wasn't something that could be built by man, and it was a millennium ago, but he knew who it was, and that was Nitro.
Nitro creatures have been around the planet for eons of years, and the well-preserved fossils prove their existence.
This creature is so vigorous and hungry that even if it loses its food or its habitat deteriorates, it can enter a state of metabolic hibernation called dry sleep, where it sleeps for thousands of years.
Just like the three-body man in a science fiction book that Xia Yu once read, he can temporarily survive in a dehydrated state, and when he comes into contact with the water source, he can be resurrected again.
But Nitro is more powerful and more vigorous than the Trisolarans.
The Food Pyramid is a relic of Nitro's former civilization, and there are still many Nitro ethnic groups that have survived in a dry sleep state.
It's a pity that Xia Yu can't take humanoid high-intelligence creatures out of the original world for the time being, and now they can only take away some small creatures with low intelligence.
Thinking of this, zombie Xia Yu turned on the chat group camera, and then punched in and took pictures, while taking pictures, he couldn't help but sigh a little, if only they had a sign-in system.
I hope that Xia Yu, who joins the group next time, can have a sign-in system, and the next check-in system will also work, he doesn't dislike it.
