Chapter 401 Death Sahara (77)
When Chen Cheng's team saw Director Bing, they felt like they had found their backbone. Chen Cheng led his companions to meet him quickly. His eyes passed over Bai Laoer who was carrying Director Bing on his back. His serious eyes softened a lot and he breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
Director Bing looked much better. I don't know how many panaceas Bai Laoer had. Whether Bai Laoer and Director Bing were acting before or Director Bing had won over Bai Laoer, it was always a good thing to have such a strong fighting force.
"Five minutes ago, the cave was flooded with dirty pus water. We were able to escape because we were in the shallow layer of the cave."
Chen Cheng briefly said what happened just now: "The flame cannot be ignited, and the power of the Sky Fire Talisman has weakened by more than half. It's not even dawn at this point. There may be something wrong with the sun and the flame."
Chen Cheng's sharp and meticulous thinking quickly deduced the key point. Wei Xun did not hide it and said that Bai Laoer found that the tree hole deep in the tallest fossil tree in the petrified forest was connected to the underground temple, which was most likely the Sun Temple guarded by Ifrit.
But the temple was contaminated by the pus of black snakes. They hid from the black snake sewage and unexpectedly arrived at a place deep in the temple that was suspected to be an altar. And there, the Phoenician stone eggs hatched without any signs, and the altar shook violently, causing the underground "flood" to submerge the entire altar.
"So that's it! Director Bing, are you okay?"
Chen Cheng suddenly realized that the cave should be part of the underground sun temple, which means that the dirty and sticky "flood" may have submerged the entire underground temple. These were all unpredictable things. No one blamed Director Bing, but everyone was worried and concerned - they were in the shallow layer of the cave, and they were a little embarrassed when they escaped.
Director Bing and his team were deep underground at the time, and it was not easy to escape. Everyone's expression towards Bai Lao Er also improved a lot. Fortunately, Bai Lao Er was by Director Bing's side so that he could carry him all the way out. Feeling the gazes of others, Ban Ming Dao smacked his lips in his heart. This time he didn't need to explain more. It seemed that everyone really agreed with Wei Xun.
This is good.
Banming lowered his eyes and smiled, then raised his eyes but hid his smile, saying seriously: "The Temple of the Sun has been polluted, and there must be a hostile party that is about to take action. It will be very dangerous next, and it is best for everyone to stay together and not separate."
"Yeah."
Chen Cheng also decided this without him saying much, and the group turned to the edge of the petrified forest ruins.
"Fortunately, the captain had foresight and dug up a lot of desert roses after going down the cave, otherwise the mission of this scenic spot would not be completed."
Cheng Tianbao sighed hoarsely. After they settled in the cave, Chen Cheng pointed out the few people with the least injuries and went to the cave to dig enough desert roses for everyone to hand in. Now the cave is flooded with sewage, and the fragile desert roses are probably destroyed.
"Of course, otherwise how can the captain be the captain."
Tang Shuang habitually argued with him, broke off a few ribs, and burned bone fire. The teammates were all injured and needed to rest. When the temperature dropped sharply, a warm fire was very important. The overlapping ribs burning with red flames were considered a small fire. Although normal flames cannot be ignited, Tang Shuang's rib flames burn vigorously and warmly, unaffected at all.
"I mean, is there a possibility that the enemy of the sun is the giants?"
Tang Shuang pointed at the fire burning on his bones: "My fire comes from the giant skeleton. It is not a good sign that it burns so vigorously."
"It is very likely."
Yu Hexuan nodded in agreement and imitated Tang Shuang's tone: "I mean there is also a possibility that the black snakes are in the same group with the giants?"
The desert outside the petrified forest can turn into a black snake black desert at any time. It can be said that this temple buried deep underground is already surrounded and monitored by countless black snakes. Director Bing also said that there are snake sloughs and snake bones in the sewage that flooded the underground temple.
"And that black bird, it's also suspicious."
"Yes, yes, hey Tang Shuang, do you think you can disguise as a giant?"
"Oh, that's bad, then I'm an insider?"
Tang Shuang laughed and touched his chin: "No, I should be called a spy."
The two of them sang in unison to relax the tense atmosphere a lot. The shy Yun Ying was pursing her lips to hold back her smile, and Wei Xun also smiled in his eyes, as if he saw Wang Pengpai and Wang Yushu. The journey is full of life and death crises. No one can keep their nerves tense all the time, and their spirit will eventually collapse. A successful team must have someone who can make jokes and ease the atmosphere.
When Wei Xun thought of the way home, he thought of An Xuefeng again. When he came out of the underground just now, he didn't see the figure of the Anka Phoenix. An Xuefeng hid his body, and he left immediately after seeing Wei Xun appear, and even kept his private chat with Wei Xun short.
The sun has been polluted to such an extent that it has become a battle of myths. An Xuefeng must strengthen his disguise to come back.
Compared with An Xuefeng, the situation of the astrologer is not much better. After all, the corn shoots were blessed by the sun during the altar sacrifice, and they were successfully integrated into the atmosphere of the altar stone slab. If the astrologer had not pretended to be polluted, the altar would not have aroused such a big reaction.
By mistake, it was the Ankh Phoenix (worm) that made the sun "close its eyes", but the Ankh worm was also severely injured by the backlash. The feathers on its body fell off at the touch, and it was almost bald like a real worm.
Wei Xun looked at the eggshell in his hand. He had broken it open and dropped the ankh worms and corn shoots onto the altar. The Phoenician stone eggshell that was cracked in the middle but generally intact was still in his hand. A little bit of red soft feathers lay softly on the crack of the eggshell. The feathers looked light and soft, just like the feathers of a young bird, so cute.
But Wei Xun knew that it was a tentacle of an ankh worm, similar to the wings of a young bird.
"Is this the egg that Director B asked me to conceive? Sure enough, no snake hatched out!"
Tang Shuang said with a smile, curiously looking at the feathers between the gaps: "Is this a bird?"
"Some raptors such as falcons can feed on snakes. Maybe they are the nemesis of black snakes."
Liu Hongyu pointed out that there were two possibilities for Director Bing's egg to hatch under those circumstances and cause the snake bone sewage to counterattack.
First, it was the evil side. The incubation caused the last trace of power of the Sun Altar to change. The exhausted Sun Altar could no longer frighten the sewage, so it was counterattacked.
Secondly, it is from the Sun side, and it can also bring hope of counterattack to the weak Sun side, so the snake bone sewage will spurt out crazily in an attempt to kill it as quickly as possible.
Two companions were killed by the giant, and He Yunlai and Liu Hongyu were almost poisoned by the black snake. Naturally, everyone would not side with the black snake. They vowed to avenge their partners. It would be best if they could help the sun kill the giants. Naturally, they hoped that Director B's situation would be the second one.
"The bird hatched by Director B is much stronger than my Xiao Hei."
He Yunlai said with a simple smile, the black snake wrapped around his arm was like a black armband. Before the invasion of snake bone sewage came, it was the early warning that allowed everyone to evacuate safely. Xiao Hei's performance against the black snakes was very good, but he did not dare to approach Director Bing who was holding a stone egg in his hand. He even cowered and buried his head in He Yunlai's arms.
Chen Cheng, who was sitting with his sword in his arms, had a smile on his face but sighed in his heart.
He naturally knew what his companions were thinking, but when he looked up at the young giant beside Director Bing who was shielding him from the wind, and saw it curiously touching the egg shell with its thick fingers without showing any sign of resistance or fear, Chen Cheng's heart sank. Go down.
As the next metaphysics captain favored by the old captain, Chen Cheng naturally knows a lot about opening up new attractions. Director B has a clear goal, which is to open up new attractions. Moreover, the Sahara is a super dangerous journey, involving unsolvable monsters and myths... Maybe this will be a new attraction that can open up a journey to the 30th degree north latitude.
From the fact that the Temple of the Sun was submerged in snake bone sewage, we know that in terms of difficulty, the Giant's side is definitely easier. Looking at the dangers they encountered along the way, maybe this was a giant mission to open up a new attraction. And it just so happened that the giant led by Bai Lao Er was very close to Director B.
Chen Cheng asked himself, if he were faced with the temptation of traveling to the 30th degree north latitude, would he put aside his hatred for the giants and side with them? Not only for himself, but also for metaphysics, the old captain is about to leave. If metaphysics wants to maintain its first position in the next ten years, it must have the Thirty Degrees North Latitude attraction. The number one position...is very important, not just a name and some resources.
Chen Cheng thought of the old captain before leaving: what is giving and what is gaining? He recalled the previous warnings and recalled the old captain’s earnest and hidden instructions to him. The captain must learn to be willing to let go.
The black snake repeatedly attacked his team members, which shows that the giant's sacrifices most likely require human sacrifices. If we really stand on the giant side, the lives of our teammates may be in danger!
Director Bing is so powerful, but the strongest thing is his luck. He has saved everyone many times, how will Director C choose this time? If Director B is on the side of the giants...
Chen Cheng was worried, and his eyes slowly swept over his teammates, only to find that Bai Lao Er was looking at him.
"Would you like some dates?"
Chen Cheng always felt softer towards this young man who amazed him with his sword moves when they first met, as if they were destined for each other. Even when Bai Lao Er showed an ugly face, Chen Cheng couldn't really hate him.
Chen Cheng smiled and took out a small bag from his sleeve and said warmly.
"Take two, I'm starving to death."
He stretched out his hand generously with half his life, but now his hands are so small that even if he puts his hands together to hold a handful of dates, he can't pick up many dates. He ate two of them with a smile and threw the rest back, only to be caught in a big mouth.
Xiaosha swallowed the dates directly. He vaguely remembered that this person had fed him a lot of this sweet food, and he opened his mouth without any hesitation, expecting to be fed.
Chen Cheng smiled and was about to feed it, but was stopped by Half Life.
"Xiao Sha caught a lot of food outside to eat, so he is not hungry."
Ban Ming smiled and said casually: "I wonder if its injuries are healed. You can keep the dates to eat. Your rations are only a small amount, so you should save some food."
After arriving at the Petrified Forest yesterday, Xiaosha was extremely hungry. He had to eat a lot when he was a baby. At that time, he was scalded by a black snake and needed a lot of food to heal his wounds. However, there was not much food left in the brigade, and Wei Xun had been eating with Chen Cheng's brigade and did not use the food reserves in Tong Hege's Jindan.
There was a shortage of food, and there was no food for Xiaosha, so Wei Xun simply let Xiaosha go out and let him forage for food around - of course, mainly in the area where the occult was, so as not to be captured by the people from the West District.
When Wei Xun was seriously injured in the battle against the Sun Spider, Xiaosha came back anxiously. However, it was too weak to pass through the black desert where the black snake was activated, so it could only worry. Only now that the black desert outside has returned to normal has Xiaosha finally returned successfully.
Xiaosha has grown a lot taller, and most of the injuries on his body have healed. As soon as he saw that he was out, he ate a lot.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. Chen Cheng was thoughtful after listening. Why was Giant Xiaosha attacked and burned by Giant Fang's black snake? Is there something hidden in this, or is the giant Xiaosha tribe special and not the same group as the black snake giant?
Although it was just a guess, Chen Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. The giant next to Director Bing really made him feel confused, but he still had too little experience and was not calm enough. Now that he had calmed down, Chen Cheng thought about it again and felt that it was normal to pursue profits. There was nothing wrong with what Director B did. He had already helped them too much.
If he doesn't want to be an enemy of Director C, he shouldn't be wary here, but should think about how to let their advantage on the Sun side overwhelm the Giant side, so naturally they will have a second option!
Seeing Chen Cheng deep in thought, Ban Ming couldn't help but curl his lips. Based on his familiarity with Captain Chen, he naturally knows where the deepest obsession is in Captain Chen's heart and what he is thinking about now.
The current Team Chen is too young. He has only been in the hotel for less than a year and is not mature enough. He experienced the death of his teammates soon after entering the hotel. Now it is normal for him to protect his teammates like an old hen.
Ban Ming smiled and thought of himself, of Captain Chen's teachings in the past, of himself when he first entered the hotel, full of energy, a proud man of heaven, from his twenties to his thirties, which was obviously only ten years ago, but he felt that It feels like a world away, as if an era has passed.
Shaking away the slight melancholy in his heart, he cheered up and looked at Wei Xun. The new era has arrived, and he must seize the rare opportunity!
‘Feihong’s pet eggs are Feihong’s specialty and have been around for the past ten years. ’
Ban Ming said: 'These eggs are actually the product of a special prop, and the properties of the eggs will be affected by Captain Feihong. Although the pet eggs given to you by Qilecheng can be hatched into suitable corresponding creatures in any suitable scene, the pets hatched in scenes with similar characteristics to Qilecheng will be more powerful.'
Half Life's words attracted Wei Xun's attention. Wei Xun looked at Xiaosha. It opened its mouth for a while and was not angry when no one fed it. Meek lowered his head and continued to curiously observe the eggshell in Wei Xun's hand, and his vagina was revealed. closeness.
Wei Xun naturally noticed this. Xiao Sha showed closeness and curiosity when he first saw the Anka Worm. The person currently controlling the Anka worm is the astrologer, and Wei Xun wonders if the astrologer may have induced Xiaosha while he was out looking for food.
After discovering that he was a worm with feathers, the astrologer had been silent and silent. He was not as talkative as David, and Wei Xun had not yet found time to communicate with him alone.
But if it is like what Ban Ming said, the reason why Xiao Sha is close to Shi Pei may not be the astrologer. Wei Xun didn't know much about Qi Lecheng, the captain of this generation of Feihong, except that he had the title of Golden Crow.
Golden crow, sun bird, mythical animals...
Anka phoenixes (worms) can also be regarded as sunbirds. Could it be said that Xiaosha has the characteristic of being biased towards the sun?
Tonight is the most critical time, and Wei Xun wants to contact the Sun in advance. The underground temple was sealed by snake bones and sewage. If the power of the sun and the moon were activated too loudly, it would be noticed.
It would be nice if there was someone to communicate with the sun privately, such as a 'believer', or...
Wei Xun suddenly pulled a feather from the Anka worm, causing the astrologer to twitch in pain. Then Wei Xun gave the feather to Xiaosha.
Xiao Sha is indeed different from the nine known giant tribe giants. The initial totem pattern and coat color on its body were a bit like the red sand giant, which was a masculine power. But Wei Xun looked carefully and found that it was not a red sand giant. If its attributes could be affected, if it could become a 'sun' Giant's words...
At this moment, Wei Xun's fingers suddenly felt cold, and it turned out that an Anka worm had bitten him! A drop of blood seeped out from the wound and was swallowed by it. The next second, a strange, young voice sounded in Wei Xun's heart.
‘If you want it to become a sun giant, just one of my feathers won’t be enough’
The frustrated astrologer finally spoke! Normally, even if there is Vulcan pollution, Wei Xun will have to work hard to conquer the Ankh Phoenix Bird, but the astrologer drank a drop of his blood in order to have a secret chat with Wei Xun, and the Ankh Worm established a connection with Wei Xun. It will be much easier for Wei Xun to conquer it in the future.
‘If one stick is not enough, will a few more sticks be enough? ’
Wei Xun naturally felt that the connection between him and Anka Worm had deepened, and his smile became more sincere. He dug out the red-feathered and big-eyed worm from the egg. When he saw that the thing with feathers and wings in the egg was not a bird, but a worm, Tang Shuang felt bad all over.
'It's a pet, the sun giant is a mythical creature'
the astrologer said impatiently. How can pets and mythical creatures be considered the same? It can be said that Wei Xun's giant will never reach adulthood and become a giant with strong fighting power. It will just be a pet.
'Take it with you when we fight tonight, and the sun giant cub will be your reward. ’
The astrologer said that what he meant was that if Xiaosha helped tonight in the battle, it would be affected and transformed after the Sun Altar was opened, and it would become a real giant cub. It could be brought out by Wei Xun to reenact the scene, and it could be trained. The kind that grows up!
'Yeah'
Wei Xun raised his eyebrows and picked out a dozen more Anka worm feathers. Even if he can't turn into a sun giant cub that can grow, it's not a bad thing for Xiaosha to be infected with the sun's aura. It might be of great use when he takes action tonight, such as being used as a bait.
The astrologer was stunned for a moment, but couldn't escape at all, and was quickly turned into a naked red worm. But Wei Xun didn’t pull out his hair anyway, so the astrologer didn’t take it to heart and said casually: ‘It seems you have someone who is a believer.’
Bingyi is obviously very confident and does not need his help at the moment.
If you need to contact the sun secretly, the best ones are of course priests and believers. Wei Xun didn't need to say anything, he just crawled back into the eggshell and slept, not watching, listening, or avoiding suspicion. Seeing the astrologer like this, Wei Xun smiled and said deliberately: "I am also worried about how to quickly become a believer. Star Team, do you have anything to give me?" ’
‘Either you change gender’
The astrologer said impatiently: 'Either you choose what's available...someone has already channeled'

so cold
Yunying shrank and hugged herself, even though there was a fire, the coldness still seeped out from her bones, as if her whole body was soaked in cold and sticky water, unable to breathe, and her consciousness was about to blur. Yunying only felt that it was because of her mental overdraft, and she shrank even more.
"It's almost eight o'clock. Is the sun really not going to rise today?"
Someone complained that the extremely low temperature gave everyone goosebumps. Yu Feiluan sneezed several times in a row. Yu Hexuan took off his coat and put it on his sister. Yu Feiluan smiled and gave the coat to his sister. A thinner Yunying.
"Thank you, thank you sister."
Yunying stuttered and thanked her. She was really cold. There was no color on her face. She was trembling all over and looked very weak. She had been mentally exhausted from beating the drum to resist Ifrit's blood sacrifice, which was more difficult to recover from than her physical injuries. But looking at her holding her stomach and curling up into a ball, it didn't look like it was just a headache.
Tong Fu's boyfriend Liu Hongyu is a doctor, and she is also very attentive. Seeing Yunying approaching and holding her hand like this, she felt that her palms were cold and full of cold sweat.
"Is your period coming?"
Tong Fu asked in a low voice, Yunying shook her head and whispered no. But her teeth chattered with coldness when she spoke, which was obviously abnormal. Liu Hongyu immediately went to check, but found no other injuries on Yunying. At this moment, Chen Cheng came to Yunying's side, frowned and carefully checked her situation, and then helped Yunying to go aside to say a few words alone.
"Director B, please take a step to speak."
Seeing Chen Cheng coming to see him, Wei Xun raised his eyebrows. When the astrologer told him before that "someone has channeled the spirit", he thought of Yunying. The astrologer was obviously talking about a woman. Yu Feiluan died first, and Tong Fu did not have the corresponding title talent. The most special one is Yunying.
Being familiar with history is a big advantage. Yunying has a special constitution. Historically, her death was a key link in the Black Sand Giant's plan. Wei Xun previously thought that because of her 'yin-yang body' physique and title, she died in place of the black sand giant and bore the last wrath of the sun.
But Yunying herself is androgynous, and the title "hermaphrodite" cannot only be hers, but also has some special talents brought about by her constitution. Seeing how Yunying used the prop rattle to counter Ifrit's blood sacrifice war drum in the previous fierce battle, it is obvious that her title talent prop is extraordinary.
"Director B, do you have anything related to the sun?"
Chen Cheng supported Yunying, who was shivering. She was covered in cold sweat and her hair was completely wet, as if she had been submerged in water.
"Yunying has a special physique. Once her mental power is exhausted, she can easily resonate with something."
Yunying is neither male nor female, neither yin nor yang. She belongs to a certain kind of "chaos" and is particularly susceptible to infection. But this time, what resonates with Yunying is extraordinary... Chen Cheng made a quick decision after making some guesses. Invite Director C to come and take a look. Wei Xun looked at her thoughtfully and gave Yunying a freshly plucked Anka worm feather.
The moment she got the feather, Yunying's face became much better, but her eyes became more and more blurred. She clutched the feather tightly and muttered to herself, as if she was chanting something. Wei Xun listened but couldn't really hear what Yunying said. Not normal words, closer to some kind of chaotic babble. And this raving was vaguely mixed with a few words that Wei Xun was familiar with.
Wei Xun leaned closer to listen and finally heard clearly!
"Vulcan! Vulcan!"
Wei Xun:......
Ah, this may be a little bit of the influence of the Anka worm itself, but except for occasionally calling the God of Fire, most of Yunying's words are more mysterious and special. Suddenly she took out her rattle, which made Wei Xun unexpected On the surface of this seemingly ordinary rattle, there are faint lines of the sun!
