Arriving First!
The Sahara Desert.
The Eye of the Sahara, with a diameter of 340 kilometers, is completely empty. Its outline from high above reveals a structure consisting of three rings and one island.
Regardless of the story behind it, it is simply a huge, textured disc.
But this only applies to giants.
Because to tiny humans, they can't even make out a single outline.
All one can sense is that this is a huge, circular, city-sized ancient site.
The altitude here is about 400 meters. When Li Yuan arrived at the center, he found nothing.
Everything has been buried by sand and wind, and it no longer looks the same as it used to be.
Upon seeing this, Li Yuan stomped his foot on the ground, and the earth instantly cracked open, sending up countless grains of yellow sand and revealing a downward passage at the very center.
The ground in this passage was extremely hard, like an alloy, and no matter how hard Li Yuan tried, he could not break it.
Upon seeing this, Vespa quickly walked over and entered the tunnel.
But the tunnel below was blocked by yellow sand, so Vespa summoned a group of Fishman to start digging in the sand.
About a day later, they cleared out the space below.
The space below is not large; you can go down three levels, and below the third level is another circular area.
The ring has a socket that fits perfectly with the trident.
Vespa reported this news to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan made a decisive decision.
"Seal this place off."
The Fishman brought cement to seal the opening, and in the following days they brought more cement and poured it in, sealing the entire underground palace.
Li Yuan was still not at ease, so he moved a huge mountain from afar and placed it heavily on the only entrance.
This is the consequence of letting the boss find the key location first.
"Next, we'll wait for the guests to arrive."
After Li Yuan sealed the entrance, no monsters blocked the Nine-Tailed Fox anymore, and everything started going incredibly smoothly.
"They kept sending monsters to stop us from moving forward, which means they clearly knew where we were going and also knew that the place was related to it."
"Now we are getting closer and closer to our destination, but they have stopped. Something is strange."
What do you think?
"They may have found Atlantis before us and were already prepared to welcome us, which is why they withdrew these monsters from the road."
"They want to wipe us out in one fell swoop?"
"Should we still go?"
"Go."
"Now that we've come this far, we can only move forward."
"We cannot let the sacrifices we made before be in vain."
"Yes, if we turn back this time, we'll only be more passive and have even less of a chance next time."
"Where are the centaurs and dogs?"
"Logically speaking, we should have arrived by now."
Qin Leng sat inside the plane; he was the only person on board.
He was communicating with an O2O computer that accompanied him in the form of data.
"Can you pinpoint the exact location of the dog and the centaur?"
"Looking for..."
In the Sahara Desert.
The centaur's hind legs dug into the sand pit. He had just pulled his hind legs out and taken a step forward when his forelegs dug into the sand again.
They walked like this for a long time, and even the most good-tempered people and horses could no longer tolerate it!
"Damn it!"
"I hate sand, I hate deserts. If anyone ever makes me come to the desert again, I swear I'll kick them to death!"
Centaur feet are like horse hooves. Horse hooves are too small, so they easily get stuck in the sand when walking on sand.
Therefore, camels, with their larger feet and more stable center of gravity, became the main means of transportation for people to travel in the desert.
At this moment, the men and horses only wished they were camels!
Otherwise, given his speed, he should have reached his destination long ago!
Meanwhile, the situation wasn't much better for Sequence 011 Beast of a Thousand Throats, as the desert made it difficult for him to move around.
He crawled on the sand, moving extremely slowly, and sweat was constantly seeping from his body.
Strictly speaking, he is not afraid of heat or cold.
However, the desert was dry and hot during the day, causing him to lose water quickly, leaving him constantly thirsty.
The sandy environment made it difficult for him to walk, and his physical strength was severely depleted.
He can't even speak now; his throat is so dry it feels like it's about to crack, and it hurts terribly whenever he makes a sound.
At this rate, Thousand Throat feels he's going to die!
"The mountain looks like it's going to make a horse run itself to death, but if I walk a couple more steps... I'm really going to die..."
With all four limbs on the ground and his tongue lolling out, Qianhou was physically exhausted.
Just as he was about to exhaust himself, he suddenly smelled an extremely strong and pungent fishy smell!
"The taste of fish."
Qianhou's eyes immediately turned red, and he instantly found a spot and dashed out!
On a large mountain in the Sahara Desert.
Vespa stood atop the mountain and saw a figure rushing toward him at high speed.
The figure moved swiftly, kicking up clouds of yellow sand in its wake!
Just then, a voice reached Vespa's ears.
"Vespa ..."
"I understand."
With that, Vespa flipped over and jumped off the mountain, chanting a strange incantation as he did so.
"Shoggoth!"
With a wave of his hand, Vespa instantly conjured a group of monsters from the desert!
Those monsters looked like giant amoebas made of tar, with glowing eyes and bodies that were bent like hounds.
At that very moment, Qianhou, who was running at top speed across the desert, pounced on him!
Vespa saw it clearly; it was a... red dog!
Pfft!
A cloud of Blood Mist splattered up, and with a single Thousand Throat, it instantly tore apart all the monsters that Vespa had summoned!
The movement was so fast that Vespa didn't even see it!
To be instantly killed in a single encounter, what level of monster is this?
"Shoggoth, so utterly vulnerable?"
No sooner had Vespa finished speaking than Thousand Throat pounced past him!
Vespa suddenly felt a chill!
At that moment, he clearly felt that something within him had been permanently taken away!
Vespa stiffly turned his head and saw that his arm was covered in blood, and there was nothing underneath.
And in Qianhou's mouth, his left arm was clearly being held!
Qianhou began to chew, swallowing the bone and flesh of that arm into his stomach, then wiped his mouth with his hand.
"Resurrection successful."
He turned his head, his blood-red, beast-like eyes fixed on Vespa!
Vespa was taken aback, but unexpectedly, Thousand Throat moved and pounced straight at him!
Pfft!
Blood stained the desert as Vespa's body was torn apart in the blink of an eye, collapsing onto the endless yellow sand.
"This is... mine..."
Ending?
After consuming its flesh and blood, Qianhou quickly recovered.
Next, he set his sights on that mountain.
But just after he left, a green light suddenly shone down from the mountain and shone on Vespa's broken body!
"Do not fear death; the horse's strength will heal all your physical wounds."
Vespa's mangled body quickly coalesced.
His consciousness returned at that moment, and he suddenly sat up in the desert.
Just a moment ago, he felt as if he had seen Death.
