A sea of golden sand.

Next to the bones of an unknown behemoth.

The night is getting darker.

"Rat, I'm really going to be angry!"

A wheat-skinned mouse-eared girl is venting her anger.

Just think about it.

While you're asleep and dazed, your neighbors are there to build holes, drills and sledgehammers to smash walls, thunderbolts, and start creating noise pollution.

Even if you don't get up, I'm afraid you don't have a good temper and a good face.

"Yes, yes, sorry. We didn't know there were people living underground. ”

The well-behaved Diana didn't quarrel too much.

began to take the initiative to come forward and apologize.

After all, who would have thought that there were still people living underground!

And Lune was already looking at the eighteen- or nineteen-year-old adult woman.

Her skin has a healthy wheat color.

Short black hair draped over her shoulders.

The eyes were a deep brown, revealing a hint of cunning.

The slender bridge of her nose and the slightly raised corners of her mouth make her face look smart and playful.

What makes her different from ordinary people is that she has a pair of delicate mouse ears on the top of her head.

Whenever the breeze blows, the ears flutter slightly, as if listening to the sound of wind and sand.

This is a typical subhuman trait.

At this time, she was wearing a simple and chic outfit, showing a unique personal style, not showing a little skin, but giving people a strange exotic style and astringent feeling.

"Forget it, I don't want to be like a little, just don't make a noise with me."

Originally, the rat-eared people were ready to be furious, ready to let the new neighbor live in peace.

Later, Diana was so well-behaved, and she was even several years younger than herself.

Isis scratched her head, and with a few words, she was about to burrow back into the ground.

Just looking at the girl's immature face and the thin clothes on her body.

There were other emotions in my heart.

In line with the principle that more is better than less.

Isis didn't want to care too much about anything.

She let out a long sigh and went back down the hole to the ground, reaching out to close the plank she was using to cover up.

The wind and sand are blowing.

Nature automatically helped Isis hide his tracks.

"What a weirdo...... Wrong...... Strange rats? ”

Seeing that the rat-eared lady was gone, Diana couldn't help but mumble to herself.

"I seem to have forgotten my sister's name."

"Forget it, let's get ready to set up our tent first. I don't know if I can withstand the wind and sand at night. Gaga, let's squeeze together, you sleep inside and I sleep outside. ”

Diana began to look at the little tent carefully, if it was zipped up, it should be sealed tightly, so that she would not wake up in the morning and become a mud man.

"The ......"

Diana and Lune were about to go in and rest.

The cave that had disappeared was opened again.

The rat-eared lady showed half of her head, and her expression was tangled.

Kind-hearted, she still can't bear to let an underage little guy live on the streets.

Isis, a local, knows all too well how dangerous the nights in the Golden Sands can be.

If I really want to see them so bold and sleeping on the streets, I am afraid that the next morning, I will come to help collect the bodies of these two little guys.

I can't bear it.

Isis thought about it again, her eyes wandering, but she still couldn't help but say: "That, my name is Isis, and I am a gerbil sub-who lives nearby. Do you want to go to my house and sleep for the night, my house is quite big. It's okay to just sleep when you're tired of playing. ”

Noticing the change in Diana's gaze, Isis was also a little shy.

"The golden sand sea is very dangerous at night, often haunted, and some people have seen ghost ships and armies of the undead."

Isis's invitation made Diana hesitate.

After all, when you are out of the house, you are not in the royal capital.

It's easy to believe in others.

The heart is separated from the belly.

Especially in the wilderness, there is no village in front of the village, and there is no store behind it, and suddenly someone warmly invites you to sit at home, which is less dangerous than the company boss suddenly organizes a group of people to travel to Myanmar.

Everyone has to think about whether their waist will be karma.

But.

Diana could vaguely sense that the big sister was not malicious.

It seems to be the ability that comes with the white brand.

Diana could now perceive something mysterious and mysterious.

It seemed to be a conglomerate of kindness and positive emotions.

Except in some special circumstances, Diana was able to tell who was good and who was bad directly by her feelings.

Of course, this degree of distinction still stays on whether or not there is "malice", and it is too difficult to intuitively distinguish whether a person is good or bad.

At least for now, Diana is willing to believe this big sister Isis.

"My name is Diana, and this is Gaga. We are investigators......"

Diana also began to introduce herself.

It's just that she doesn't know how to explain her origins.

Could it be that he fell from the sky?

Wake up in the desert?

Who believes.

Diana didn't want to lie, she sorted out the language.

"We're going to go to the royal capital next."

This was indeed the next goal for Diana and Lune, and Diana wanted to go home, at least to get in touch with her father first.

If he suddenly disappeared, his brother would definitely look for him everywhere.

Little Diana didn't want the family to worry too much.

"The royal capital?"

Isis was stunned for a moment, and then she asked, "The king is in the east, what are you running to the west?" ”

Diana's unbelievable answer was beyond Isis's expectations.

Poles apart.

It's like a jungler getting lost in the jungle, sending a signal to shake people on the lower lane, and clicking on the mouse to smoke, but the jungler goes to the upper lane, and his teammates have to point a question mark.

"Huh? Am I running the other way around? ”

Diana's eyes were glazed, and in the vast sea of sand, the environment was almost the same.

Thirteen-year-old Diana is not a professional survivor, she doesn't know much about wilderness survival, and she is tired of running for her life before, and even her sense of direction is lost.

"It's not just about running back. Hey, how can a road idiot with no sense of direction become an investigator? You're out on the run at such a young age. What the hell does your mom think! ”

Seeing the blonde girl's gray fluttering little face with a big bewilderment, Isis was a little helpless.

This made Diana purse her lips instead.

"Mom...... She ......"

Isis was keenly aware of the change in Diana's expression and tone, and her own question seemed to poke at Diana's sadness.

Isis immediately lowered his head and replied, "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing." Come with me, little one, with your dragon. I'll make you something delicious. After walking in the desert for so long, you must be hungry. ”

"Karma ......"

However, it is indeed a bit rude to interrupt rashly.

Rune wanted Diana to excuse herself.

However, he took a look.

Diana had put all her worries and sorrows behind her, and began to have a golden glow in her eyes, seduced by all the delicacies that the rat-eared maiden had said.

Rune shook his head.

It seems to be a recurrence of the old disease also.

The foodie attribute of the little princess has completely attacked.

The helpless young dragon could only rub his forehead.

The tent was simply cleaned up and stuffed back into the system's own character backpack.

"Yay!"

Just cleaned up.

Rune was directly hugged by Diana, who was very excited.

The body of the small baby dragon was pulled into a noodle state.

Diana said that she was going to visit the underground town that the Ians had founded.

"Gaga, we have a place to live! No more sleeping on the streets! All right! ”

Isis opened the floor, and the magic glow surged, and they blocked the backward flow of sand.

In the faint glow of light, Lune saw sloping stone stairs leading deep underground.

"Watch your step, don't fall."

Isis began to lead the way to Diana and Rune.

Descended the stairs.

They came to a small room located four or five meters below the desert.

The walls of the room are rough and thick stone, giving a sense of security and solidity.

The interior of the room is very plain.

There was only a simple but sturdy wooden bed, covered with burlap.

On one side of the room, a simple square wooden table and a few wooden chairs are placed, which serve as a place for dining and working.

On the table were some dry food and some iron cutlery to meet the basic needs of the residents.

A rough sword hung on the wall for the self-defense of the owner of the house.

The room was shabby, with no ornate decorations, only practical and affordable furniture, and Diana instead felt a special sense of warmth.

On a small table in the corner of the wall are a few old books and a glowing crystal lamp, which warms the light and brings a glimmer of light to the room.

"Ah, this is my home."

Isis patted her chest and smiled as she showed off the structure of the room, and motioned for Diana to sit down at the table first.

"I usually live with only one person. Take a break, and I'll buy you something to eat. ”

With that, Isis prepared to push open the door and leave.

At this time, Diana and Luan noticed that there were two doors in the room, the back door directly connected to the surface, and in the depths of the room, there was another door.

Listen to Isis, where other people's rooms are connected?

The peculiar structure of the underground town intrigued Diana.

"Sister Isis, can I go and have a look?"

The sweet-mouthed Diana began to call Isis her sister again.

This strange feeling was especially useful to Isis.

Isis looked down and thought for a moment, thinking that Diana, a lovely girl, should not have any scheming.

It's not like some dangerous person.

She nodded.

"Okay. It just so happened that I would like to introduce you to the obsidian gathering place. If there is any danger in the future, you can also hide inside. ”

Seeing that the two beautiful girls were talking so happily, Lu En didn't want to interject.

His attention is entirely focused on the new side quests released by the system.

【Limited Time Mission: Finding the Ghost Ship】

[Note: Specific characters are needed to solve the subsequent plots]

[Reward for completing the mission: 1w Friendship Points]

[Mission Failure Punishment: Debt +2w Friendship Points]

A confused Luan scratched his head.

What's going on, and why can cyber loans still increase?!

The high O loan is not as fierce as yours.

Lune, who complained about his weakness, thought about it.

This so-called ghost ship should be the magic guide battleship I saw earlier.

Then the search for the ghost ship also has to find the relevant characters, and it is another task to break the leg.

With a wave of his wings, Lune followed behind the two maidens and exited the room and entered the dark passage.

At the beginning, it was extremely narrow, and only then did it pass people, and it was dozens of steps back, and it suddenly became clear.

An underground town like a paradise appeared before Lune's eyes.

"Karma?!"

He couldn't help but let out a slight exclamation.

The contrast between the calm and tranquil world in front of you and the raging wind and sand outside.

It's two extremes.

Although there is no sunlight, the lighting is bright and soft, which fills the whole underground town with a warm atmosphere.

The streets of the town were widened and elaborate stone pavements were built, and the stone slabs under the feet were smooth and solid.

Houses are built along the street and come in all shapes and sizes.

Colourful doors and windows dot the walls, revealing the unique personalities and creativity of the residents.

There is a square in the center of the town, surrounded by cafes, food stalls, and small shops where residents mingle and trade.

"The inhabitants of the obsidian colony are self-sufficient, growing all kinds of vegetables and grains underground, making the most of the underground water source."

Isis, who led the way, explained.

There are only about a hundred people living in the entire obsidian gathering place.

Basically, they are all subhumans of the gerbil family.

As locals, they have long adapted to the climate and environment of the Golden Sand Sea, and are scattered in all corners of the underground of the Death Desert on weekdays.

Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the children of mice are born with holes.

Gerbil subhumans have been able to manipulate earth-based spells since childhood.

They are also born civil engineers, and their ash technology is the first in the world, and they can be called the crape myrtle stars in the construction industry.

Consolidate the sediment and build caves.

The gerbil man walks under the dirt like a fish in the sea.

Every gerbil cavity dug out was a householder.

Eventually, all the caves were dug into each other and connected in series, creating a small clearing at the central point.

In the books of the royal court's work, Diana also has some understanding of this rare subhuman.

The books say that they are a gifted race, and they should not be allowed to waste into the desert, but should be part of the empire-building.

In the past, the Moon Eating Empire did have some gerbil civil engineering geniuses, who were famous and built many legendary buildings.

The Empire's years of treatment and support for the Asians and the construction of their homes have made the hometown of the gerbil tribe from a remote village to a township and then to urbanization, and now it has become the largest core city in the western part of the empire.

Its name is Marr.

So, Diana has always wondered why gerbils have returned to the stage of burrowing and nesting in the ground?

How do you live more and more?

Is it modern or ancient?

Diana, who was following Isis, had noticed several stout male sub-figures on the side of the road, glaring at her.

Some have begun to whisper.

Diana listened carefully.

"Why are there humans in the Obsidian Gathering Area......?"

"How did little Isis bring humans to us?"

"Are damned humans going to oppress us again?"

"I know that cunning human beings are all one set of mouths and one set of temperaments in private."

"Let's just just throw this human out without doing anything!"

Diana sensed a strong sense of malice and xenophobic negativity.

The white brand in his body seemed to be a little restless.

Diana clutched her chest.

Suddenly.

A stout man with a scar on his face walked up to Diana.

He snorted.

Breathe through your nostrils.

Nothing to be angry about.

There was a flash of indifference in his eyes.

It's just that he still barely controls his expression.

With a straight face, his voice trembled.

"Isis, come here."

"Did you tell me that Ramon tyrant had some bad idea?"

Despot? Ramon?

This was the most incredible thing that Diana found.

Since his father succeeded to the throne, he has done his best and worked hard, so how can he be called a tyrant?

The corners of Lune's mouth tugged at the corner of his mouth, he was too familiar with this kind of picture, and the plot development was too classic.

What's going to happen next, he's got a good idea.

Lun was ready to fight.

His eyes shone with excitement.

Is it finally time to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?

Until, Isis, who had a few clear black lines on his face, raised his fist and smashed it the strong man's abdomen.

It was a wordless belly fist.
