Chapter 148: A Different Lost City

When Xue Hua came back to his senses, he was standing in a narrow canyon, stepping on a bright blue circle of light under his feet, and still clutching the "polished backbone" in his hand.

It was still dark all around, but Isha had helped him release the king worm for vigilance and some of the newly hatched swarms.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Xue Hua didn't have time to take back the swarm, so now he had to use resources to temporarily hatch.

But fortunately, although he can't take back the insect swarm over there for the time being, he can still contact the insect mother over there from the mind of the main nest.

So he asked the worm mother to try to follow him from the teleportation circle he had teleported to, only to be told that the teleportation circle Zerg unit was not usable at all, and there was obviously some kind of racial restriction as well.

With no choice but to let them move freely first, explore around the Lost City, and wait until he got what he wanted from the ruined temple not far in front of him, and was trying to find a way to pick them up......

The ruined temple that Xue Hua mentioned was actually a huge temple with an extremely wide area and a luxurious and graceful appearance, although the decoration on this temple looked slightly dilapidated, but it could not hide its glorious momentum.

It used to be obviously very prosperous, but now it is scattered and unattended.

But whether it is honorable or luxurious, dilapidated or dilapidated, these have nothing to do with Xue Hua.

After a series of explorations and adventures, Xue Hua, who finally found the main master, now just wants to quickly grab the things in there and hurry home......

"Juggernaut, a large amount of psionic energy has been detected above this building, and these psionic energy are maintaining the operation of a huge psionic energy matrix, judging from the law of psionic energy fluctuations, this psionic energy matrix should be the culprit that caused the sunlight to be obscured."

"Sure enough, it's still here!" After listening to Isa's words, Xue Hua couldn't help but let out a sigh.

He was a little confused now.

What is the connection between the game world and this world in the previous life?

Why is there so much in this real world that resembles the world in a game?

Are the game designers of the glass slag all time-travelers?

Or did he travel into the game designer's mind?

"Hey... Forget it, I don't want to do this, I have a headache to think about......"

Xue Hua shook his head, pulled out his staff, and lightly pointed ahead, and the insect mother beside him immediately led the insect swarm towards the temple.

He found a cockroach and climbed on it, and walked leisurely behind him.

Mother Worm and the swarm quickly searched the temple inside and out, but found no trace of psionic artifacts, nor was it hindered in any way.

Of course, this is also normal, and Xue Hua didn't expect that old cat man of the Divine Dao Dao to put those things in the temple like this and wait for him to get them.

But as soon as he walked into the temple with the staff in one hand and the "backbone" in the other, the gem ornament that had returned to his inventory at some point flew out of his inventory without his consent again.

Xue Hua couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this, and scolded the Holy Deed System in his heart, this inventory is simply a vegetable garden, and random people can flip in and out......

However, since following him into the Lost City, this gem ornament has behaved very differently from the harmless virtues of humans and animals in the oasis before, not only can he enter and exit his inventory space at will, but also specially give him directions at critical moments, which is simply a model of "mission assistant plug-in"!

It would be nice to have an auto-pathfinding auto-teleportation function......

Emmmmmmm... How can there be a sense of déjà vu of a dark wind domestic page game~

Xue Hua was talking nonsense in his heart, but his spirit had been focused on the movement of the gem ornament.

I saw this thing floating beside him, and suddenly shot a colorful light curtain towards the steps of the temple not far ahead, and the rickety figure of the old cat man Doppdoc appeared again in the light curtain, and this time, it seemed that it was not a simple image.

Because the old cat man actually looked at him directly!

"I know, you're surprised, but you don't have to... I'm still just a picture from the past, and only then did I see you coming......

If it knew that the double torture of endless pain not only did not defeat me, but even sublimated me to the height of the ancient sage at the last moment, I wonder if it would feel very sorry?

But it was too late, and although I had seen through the fog in front of me, I couldn't go any further.

Because, indeed, I'm dead......"

Dopdoc's image was silent for a moment, and then, as if letting go of something, he looked up at Xue Hua again with a smiling cat face.

"Follow me, good young human being, and I will lead you to what you are looking for, and tell you stories about this temple and the city beyond."

The old cat man turned around and "floated" towards the temple without hesitation, as if he was not worried about whether Xue Hua would follow.

"This old guy ......" Xue Hua rolled his eyes, feeling a little unhappy, but in the end he obediently followed.

Doppok walked ahead as he slowly told Xue Hua the story of the temple and the lost city.

"After the age of the cat people has passed, a new lord has been ushered in in the Aranok Desert - humans.

Humans are very adaptable and are almost as fertile as cat people.

But most importantly, humans possess extraordinary creativity.

When cats live in the desert, we only weave tents out of animal fur and build simple huts out of dead grass and mud.

We mined iron ore to forge weapons and tools, but it never occurred to us that the stones we discarded were precious.

We hunt animals, gather berries, and search for water, but we don't know what seeds do and how to dig wells.

All this we don't know, humanity knows.

So young man, your civilization is far more glorious than ours......

And since you're here, it proves that human civilization has flourished to this day.

But humanity is not without flaws, and your biggest flaw is disunity.

No matter what the time, there will always be divisions among humanity... Maybe it's because you have so many ideas that you can't agree on the same page.

The city out there is a product of human division......

I wandered through the ruins and found records of the city's origins.

When humanity rose to prominence in the desert, divisions arose within the human race.

This disagreement eventually led to the birth of two kingdoms.

One is Rugoin, which is built by the sea and is famous for its commerce.

The other is 'Bairamu', which was built in a mysterious place deep in the desert.

This kingdom is very mysterious because of the worship of the snake gods, who have lived in seclusion in this mysterious place for hundreds of years.

Although there were differences between the two kingdoms, they were not yet at the point of fighting each other.

So the two passed without incident.

Until the last king of Baramu succeeded to the throne.

The king was so ambitious that he thought there could only be one king in the desert, so he wanted to conquer Rugoin.

In order to gain the support of his subjects, he coaxed his subjects that the serpent god wanted a quiet and shady desert, and that Bara Muhe should become the lord of the desert.

So his subjects supported him.

However, Rugauin was too powerful, and the thriving commerce supported the sprawling kingdom, which was already known as the pearl of the desert at the time, with the best warriors, sharpest scimitars, and strongest armor in the country.

In a head-on confrontation, Bairam has no chance of winning.

Then the king of Baramu thought of an ancient evil spell that could turn all those involved in the ritual into a powerful 'oracle' that was half human, half snake.

He forced most of his subjects to participate in the ritual, and then succeeded in transforming himself and most of the humans of Baramu into a half-human, half-snake monster under the temple.

However, when the king tried to attack Rugoin with his subjects, they found that they could not move in the sun at all.

The scorching sun was like a sword of judgment to them, their flesh rolling and their scales scattering.

Then the king came up with another idea, using a disc that had been enshrined in the snake god for centuries in the kingdom and had been enshrined in a sacred relic, to create a huge circle that would envelop the entire Aranok Desert.

This circle has no other effect, except to make the light of the sun turn into the opposite darkness.

Once the circle was arranged, the ambitious king was once again ready to take his subjects on the march.

Unfortunately, this time they still couldn't get out of the canyon......"

When the old cat man said this, he suddenly stopped talking, turned his face to look at Xue Hua, and then gestured forward.

Xue Hua was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked up, only to find that he had followed the old cat man to the depths of the temple at some point.

And on the ground not far in front of him, a huge golden statue of the giant serpent god was hovering on the altar, staring at him with a cold gaze......
