Chapter 169: The Discovery of One

At this moment, No. 1 in the mysterious dune area of the Aranok Desert did not know that his whereabouts had been completely exposed, but I am afraid that even if he knew, he would not stop this operation, because the so-called "divine essence" in the center of the mysterious sand dunes has now become his last straw.

Since landing on the desert beach, the frequency of abnormal genetic changes in One's body has been increasing frequently, and this self-proclaimed "divine power" has now become the most serious burden on his body.

But as far as he knew, there were no other "sanctuaries" in the Aranok Desert region, and he was desperate to complete the "oracle", and he could only suppress the turbulent "divine power" in his body by finding the "divine essence" promised on the stone tablet at the mission destination.

Otherwise, he will most likely end up as a monster with no self-awareness due to the damage of his "divine power", and will never be able to return to his original self.

This terrible consequence is absolutely unwilling to be faced by One, so he almost tried his best, and as soon as he entered the desert, he rushed towards the mysterious sand dune area.

After five or six days of desperate travel, he finally arrived at the mysterious sand dune area written on the stone slab.

At this point, nothing could interfere with his resolve, and he would rather die than become a terrible walking corpse.

"Hu ......" stood in front of a large red mesa, and One let out a long breath.

He took a water bladder from his inventory, took a few sips, and looked at the path next to the mesa that led to the depths of the dunes, a look of hope on his face.

"Uh... Damn it! ”

Suddenly, he bent down in pain, and then fell to the ground without any support, and the whole person curled up like a boiled shrimp, and the white gauze on his face was soon soaked with cold sweat.

Number One trembled in pain, and even the sand was hot enough to bake an egg couldn't distract him.

It took ten minutes for the pain to subside......

"Ahem... It's getting more and more frequent... Maybe I should take a break......"

He lifted his face from the sand, revealing eyes with deep dark circles and bloodshots.

"No, no, now is not the time to rest... I have to... Keep going......"

Thinking that the destination was in front of him, No. 1 couldn't help but cheer himself on.

He struggled to his feet up from the sand, his still trembling legs, and walked towards the interior of the mysterious dune.

The scorching midday sun of the desert scorched the earth wildly, and Number One followed the guidance of the stone slab to the depths of the mysterious dunes.

As he progressed deeper, he noticed that more and more signs of battle began to appear in the place.

Some of the collapsed redstone terraces toppled down the road, and some of the sand even had glassy crystalline floors formed by the melting of sand.

"What a terrible power, what the hell is this doing?"

Number One looked around as he walked, and more and more signs of battle made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.

Now he is the most vulnerable, and if anything that causes these traces of battle is still alive, it is definitely not something he can deal with now.

However, thinking of the "Essence of God" in the center, he left that insignificant uneasiness behind him.

Doesn't the situation here prove that there is something really big in the heart of this area?

Otherwise, why would these terrible things be fighting here?

No. 1's own "reasoning" convinced him very much, so he became even more energetic and quickened his pace to walk inward.

Since the creatures in the mysterious sand dunes had been cleaned up by the swarm before, the First saw more and more terrifying traces of battle along the way, but did not encounter any real danger.

In this case, his march has been smooth, and soon he has followed the traces of the battle to the center of the mysterious dunes.

It used to be the "Lost Oasis" that the "Chimera" had created to provide food and shelter for itself, but after it was wiped out by the swarm, the oasis disappeared, leaving only the remains of dead trees lying on both sides of the road.

Following these conspicuous traces, One passed through a large "battlefield" with potholes, and soon came to the vicinity of the heart of the mysterious sand dunes.

Then, he stopped in front of a boulder and looked at a strange golden wreck beside the boulder with a shocked look on his face.

It looked like some kind of altar artifact, with a golden metal texture and a large number of scars and cracks.

It was torn off by some powerful force in the center, and streams of blue, viscous liquid slipped from its golden body onto the sand, drenching large swaths of sand beside the rocks blue.

Since the object looked like some kind of giant four-legged insect, One assumed that it was supposed to be "dead".

But since he had never seen such a "creature" or anything like it anywhere, he did not dare to approach its "remains" for a while.

However, at this moment, the black slate in No. 1's arms suddenly shook violently, and he took out the slate a little inexplicably, but the black "oracle" slate suddenly broke free of his palm and flew in the air on its own.

Immediately after, the slate flew to the side of the "big spider", and in the disbelief of No. 1, it was divided into four small stone slabs at once.

These small stone slabs enclose the "Big Spider" in the center, and at the same time project a blue curtain of light to sweep around the "Big Spider", and from time to time they also emit strange noises that make One feel inexplicable.

A few minutes later, the four small stone slabs were put together and flew back to the still confused hand No. 1, and a line of words appeared on the stone slab again, urging him to hurry and go deeper.

For some reason, after seeing the scene just now, an extremely ominous premonition suddenly appeared in No. 1's heart.

He felt that the path he was taking now was not to the center of the dunes, but to the shortcut to the arms of death......

But what can he do?

Now, if he doesn't continue to go inward, the god of evolution will definitely abandon him.

In addition, there is no "sanctuary" nearby where you can treat, so even if you bite the bullet, you have to walk the rest of the way......

So, he could only swallow his saliva, carefully grasp the stone slab, step by step bypassed the corpse of the "big spider" in front of him, and continued to walk towards a more central position in the rear.

As a result, he had just walked out from behind the stones, and before he had fully digested the scene he had just seen, a more exciting scene immediately appeared in front of him.

I saw that on the wide sand behind the stones, there were all kinds of golden fragments scattered everywhere, and occasionally there were large and small pits scattered among them, and the sand in the pits was all melted into large pieces of turbid glass by the high temperature.

In the middle of the sandy area, a large black stone slab was laid out, and the edge of the slab was still stained with unidentified blood, and it looked like some creature had been in a great battle here, and then suffered a lot of injuries.
