Jiang Bai tried to turn the joystick next to him, and the field of view of the screen also rotated.

"There's going to be a sandstorm outside." Aite said suddenly.

Sure enough, after a while, the sand and dust quickly blocked all the vision.

"It's safe in here, completely unaffected by sandstorms."

If they can get in, maybe there will be a lot of sand people building tribes here.

There is no food or water, but it is safe and has excellent coverage.

The sandstorm lasted for more than ten minutes and stopped, standing in front of the operating table, Hu Tao was eager to try.

"How do you manipulate it?"

After opening the drawing for a while, Iss pointed out a few buttons.

"This should be activated by the body, this gear lever is controlled to walk, to the left to control to the left, to the right is to the right ......"

He wasn't so sure, after all, it was just an inference, and he hadn't really driven.

But in general, it doesn't matter if you press the wrong button, the Ruins Guard is equipped with a lot of intelligent systems, such as automatic navigation, automatic enemy hunting......

Hu Tao started the machine as he said, and the huge machine vibrated and stood out of the yellow sand, moving its body that had not moved for five hundred years, and a cloud of yellow sand fell from the cracks.

Several people hurriedly grabbed the guardrail to avoid falling because of this sudden movement.

"Wow! It's really moving! ”

Walnut has a sense of novelty in manipulating large toys.

"We don't know how long this energy will last, so it's better not to go too far to be on the safe side."

Iss was also excited to actually manipulate the relic guard, which meant that they were halfway through their mission.

The rest of the half is to study the structure of the entire ruin guard.

Looking at Mount Dama, which had become shorter on the screen, Jiang Bai suddenly asked, "Can you use this relic to guard the center of the storm on Mount Dama?" ”

"Don't think about it, we Fatui have also studied that eye of the storm, and you can't drive the ruins guard to get in." Isis drew a large cross on his chest.

After most of the day, he also saw that this group of people had not studied this relic guard at all, and was completely interested in coming in and wanting to come in and have a play.

In this way, it does not conflict with their mission at all, and he is happy to let them play, but only if it does not cause damage to the body.

"Is there anything special there?"

"According to our speculation, this should be the location of the Spike that turned all of Sumeru into a desert."

Jiang Bai heard another piece of news that was very exciting.

Sumeru was not a desert at the beginning, but a heavenly nail descended, turning the entire Sumeru into a desert.

Although he hadn't been to the entire Sumeru in its entirety, Jiang Bai felt no smaller than Mondstadt in terms of the rainforest alone, and with the desert, Sumeru's area was estimated to be the sum of Liyue and Mond.

Such a large area of desert, was it actually smashed out with a spike?

The two spikes he had seen so far had caused a huge topographical impact, the Dragonspine Snow Mountain had directly changed from a place where the seasons were like spring to a snow country, and the strata chasm had turned the surrounding area into a mineral deposit, smashing out a huge underground space.

But it's nowhere near as powerful as Sumeru's nails.

But perhaps, it is not because of the power of the nails, but because of the leylines.

Longji Snow Mountain became a snow mountain because it smashed the silver-white ancient trees, and the terrain was disturbed, which led to abnormal climate.

So, Dama Mountain, is there such a silver-white ancient tree?

An unprecedentedly huge silver-white ancient tree that affects the entire Sumeru leyline.

With such a guess, Jiang Bai wanted to go inside even more.

Perhaps we can find the reason why Tianli is obsessed with destroying the silver-white ancient tree.

It was also the first time Aite had heard this statement, and while he was shocked, he felt very absurd.

You must know that a long time ago, when there were three demon gods in Sumeru, this was a desert.

Even further back, when was that?

Most of the tribal histories of the Sand People are only a few hundred years old, and much further beyond the limits that can be left by word of mouth.

Except for large tribes like the Tanit tribe, the people of these small tribes are completely ignorant of their ancestors.

Therefore, this time span beyond the scope of cognition feels particularly unreal to him.

"So, is the never-ending sandstorm there caused by the Spike?" Jiang Bai asked.

"I don't know, but it could also be caused by the power of the god of flowers when he died. Thousands of years have passed since the death of the god of flowers, and it is difficult to find records before that......"

As for why the god of flowers chose to die in such a place, this is also a mystery.

This demon god with a special origin is like a huge shadow hanging behind the other two demon gods in Sumeru, and its purpose and intention are still a major mystery that plagues the Fatui.

"It's a pity that I majored in mechanical engineering, not history, otherwise I would be very interested in exploring this history......"

Sumeru, who doesn't pay attention to historical inheritance, is too difficult to know about this kind of long past history.

Aite thought for a moment and said:

"The god of the Tanit tribe is the god of flowers, they are a very large tribe, they have a stable knowledge system, if you are curious about the god of flowers, you can go there to see ......"

Jiang Bai wrote down the name of this tribe, and prepared to go and see it if he had a chance in the future.

"Speaking of which, Aite is also from the Thousand Gully Sands, why do you believe in the Red King?"

"Whether it's the god of flowers or the red king, they have long since passed away, and for me, it's just a kind of sustenance. In my early years, I left the Ministry of Thousands of Gullies and Sands to wander out, and after hearing the Golden Dreamland, I slowly came to believe in the Red King......"

"Golden Dreamland?"

"Legend has it that it is the ideal country created by the Red King, where there is no hatred, no bitter salt water, only an inexhaustible sweet spring, where everything is good, eternal peace, and the destination that all sand dreams of......"

"Does Golden Dreamland really exist?" Jiang Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, always feeling that this kind of legend was not very true.

"I don't know, but I want it to exist."

Isis listened, "Sounds a bit like the [Eternal Oasis] that the Tanit tribe yearns for. ”

"Eternal Oasis?"

"I don't know the specifics, but in short, it is a place that the people of the Tanit tribe yearn for, and it is a dream place created by the legendary god of flowers......"

Hu Tao stopped manipulating the hand of the ruin guard, and really couldn't help but complain:

"Although it is very disrespectful, I still want to say that it is not unreasonable for the little auspicious grass king to be the only grass god in Sumeru, because the rainforest is real."

Whether it is a golden dreamland or an eternal oasis, it can be said to be a solace in a hard life, an ethereal thing.

But the rainforest is real.
