546 the heart of the desert (chapter 3.20)
The bronze statue of the moon ship was shining under the swaying flames. The brightness of the light flickered on the surface of the moon ship, and the metallic color was a little dazzling.
The Golden-masked young man standing on the moon ship held the Pharaoh scepter in his hand, and his body also appeared to be the same brass color as the moon ship. It was delicate and soft, as if a layer of lubricant had been smeared on his skin.
After link entered the altarâs territory, the two rows of flames sensed an outsiderâs aura. They moved without any wind and the flames faced link.
the next second, fu passed through the thick wall. his spirit body returned to normal and he quickly opened the enhancement backpack.
The macawâs head popped out of the enhanced backpack, greedily sucking the air, then began to chatter and complain, â âFu, whatâs in your bag? Forget about the spider demonâs corpse, you have to give me a good explanation about the cuttlefish and man-eating fish!â
The macaw had a camera chicken on its head and a squid on its shoulder. Its tentacles were tightly wrapped around it, like a mercenaryâs ammunition belt. The positions of the piranhas were also very vivid. Two of them were hanging on the chest, and they swayed left and right along with the anger of the macaw, like a busty pendant. The other one opened its mouth wide and firmly bit on old Jinâs plump buttocks, as if it had a tail.
Such a funny look immediately attracted Linkâs attention. Fu also kept apologizing.
âIâm sorry, I forgot about this. i was planning to throw them into the pond in howling castle to provide boss with some materials, but i forgot to unload them.â
Fu walked to the front of the macaw and suddenly pulled out the two piranhas from its chest, throwing them back into the enhancement backpack. The macawâs face was filled with pain as it hurriedly covered its chest with its hands. Tears almost flowed out as it pleaded, â âIâll take care of the last one myself.â
A ray of golden light suddenly appeared from the hole behind him. The Vajra that had shrunk into a liquid form and the weapon, heaven shocking, appeared at the same time.
At the same time, shazock used his [ vanish ] ability to enter the desert stealth mode. A sand dune rose from the ground as he quickly advanced.
At the same time King Kong returned to his original form, shazok rushed out from underground.
The two of them appeared at the same time, and it was difficult to determine the winner.
âIt seems like thereâs going to be a fourth match.â Shazock couldnât help but say.
Vajra was not to be outdone and was in high spirits.âiâll accompany you anytime!â
From the moment they entered the ruins, he had fought with King Kong three times, and neither of them had a winner. During this process, the two of them had gone from being slightly âhostileâ to understanding each otherâs strength. From âhostilityâ to âcompetitionâ, there was even a kind of appreciation. An element called âgay loveâ was brewing in the intense gazes of the two.
Just as it was a complete mess, the eyes of the Golden-masked young man on the moon ship glowed with a dark green light as he stared at the people who had disturbed the peace of the altar.
The Golden-masked youthâs Pharaoh scepter glowed green as well. The next second, a beam of light shot towards link.
King Kong and shazok sensed the danger at the same time, and they jumped up to meet the beam without saying anything.
vajra used heaven shaker to block the rays, and shazok used [ power of earth ] to transfer the power of the elementium to protect himself. with the earth spirit, his body was covered in a layer of solid elementium ore, and he also had âreflectâ,â refractâ, and âmagic immunityâ.
Sky shaker blocked the first ray of light. Following that, a series of sparks flew off the weapon.
the second beam of green light landed on shazockâs body. with the three buffs protecting him, shazock didnât feel any discomfort. The green beam of light did not react to the spot where it landed. Instead, it returned to where it came from. The Golden-masked young man could not react in time. The energy beam hit the Golden Mask on his face with a clang, and he staggered back a few steps.
King Kong and shazok landed on the ground. Shazok glanced at King Kong with a trace of pride in his eyes.
Just now, when the two of them had faced each other, King Kong had only blocked the attack, and he had also used âmagic immunityâ and âdamage reflectionâ to deal damage to the enemy without being injured. This time, he had undoubtedly won.
Link took the opportunity to look at the Golden-masked youthâs information.
[ Soul Box of Pharaoh tumeng ]
[ race: mechanical ]
[ level: level 45+(leader) ]
[ HP: 6400/7000 ]
[ energy: 0/0 ]
[ skills: searing laser, moon flyer, desert will, matrix defense, disintegration equation, others unknown ]
[ evaluation: the pinnacle of scientific magic of the ancient desert civilization ]
Linkâs eyes flashed with joy after reading the information.
The soul Box of Pharaoh tumeng was no ordinary item!
the pharaoh tumeng on the moon ship was hit by his own attack, and his eyes under the golden mask revealed an expression of disbelief.
âYouâve barged into pharaohs tumengâs mausoleum without permission, and your crimes are unforgivable!â Pharaoh tumengâs voice was mechanical and emotionless, and he walked forward again. This time, other than the Pharaoh scepter, there were also many cannon muzzles on both sides of the moon ship under his feet. The moon ship had turned into a â multi-legged insect â.
the macaw was in so much pain just now, and when it saw the concentrated gun muzzles on the moon ship, it couldnât help but curse, â âWhat the f * ck are you pretending for? you even want to use the sword of the previous dynasty to kill an official of this dynasty? did you switch your intestines and esophagus-did shit enter your brain? The Pharaoh dynasty has been destroyed for thousands of years. The legal owner of the desert is the great desert Emperor link. Iâll spare you for now, you ignorant child, on account that youâre trapped in the scythe weasel and donât know whatâs going on outside! I advise you to speak less nonsense, or youâll become a laughingstock!â
The macaw rubbed its swollen naizi and was so angry that even its words carried the smell of gunpowder.
The soul Box of Pharaoh tumeng was obviously stunned. At that time, the control of the Pharaoh dynasty could be said to be all-round. The inheritance of all pharaohs was also unusually smooth. Almost everyone thought that the Pharaoh dynasty could be passed down for thousands of generations and be passed on forever.
However, the macawâs words were like a heavy bomb, directly blowing up elder tumeng, who had been ordering him around arrogantly just now.
this wasnât the end. the macaw continued to add salt to the wound and pulled fu over.âTake a good look and see if youâre familiar with this personâs aura!â
Fu was dumbfounded. Did he have any relationship with this âbronze manâ?
as expected, pharaoh tumengâs attention was focused on fu.
The green eyes under the Golden Mask were emotionless.
However, a moment later, a pair of green eyes suddenly burst out with a shocking light. He felt his own aura from Fu. It was the aura of a bloodline!
â youâre a descendant of pharaoh bi âan?! â Although Pharaoh tumengâs tone was still flat and mechanical, anyone could hear the disbelief and excitement in his voice.
This time, even Fu was dumbfounded. His expression gradually turned from one of confusion to indignation. His face turned red and his chubby little fists were clenched tightly.
âWho are you calling a grandson? Donât think that you can take advantage of others just because youâve lived long enough. Are all the Pharaohs in the Pharaoh dynasty as uncultured as you? as the saying goes, the scourge lasts for a thousand years. No wonder you can live so long!â Fu didnât have Zuanâs impressive reasoning like the macaw. After he finished speaking, he held it in for a long time before he stuttered out a curse.
âYouâre a Yingluo, a piece of junk biscuit!â
After Fu used all his strength to curse, his sideâs momentum suddenly weakened.
the macaw covered its head with its wings and couldnât bear to look at it.
Link silently moved a few steps to the side, distancing himself from Ah Fu.
jin gang simply closed his eyes and began to recite the incantation of a calm heart, for fear that his buddhist heart would collapse.
Shazokâs aura was greatly reduced, and he even had the heart to directly dive into the sand and cover his ears.
the sand rats had all turned into sand and disappeared.
Even the treasure-hunting mouse shrugged its shoulders and heaved a long sigh.
I canât get up, I canât get up!
Pharaoh tumeng waved his hand, and all the cannons on moon ship were put away, giving up on the attack.
this was the first batch of humans who had come here in thousands of years, and one of them had a bloodline relationship with him, so there was no need to continue fighting.
âMy child, has the Pharaoh dynasty ended?â Pharaoh tumeng asked.
Fu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his little fat fists until they were red.
this person actually took advantage of him, he was too shameless!
Ah Fu looked at link with pleading eyes, but link just shrugged and told Ah Fu to answer normally.
Having been pushed to the front by his boss, Ah Fu wanted to cry but had no tears. He kept reminding himself in his heart-life is full of ups and downs, donât bully the young for being poor!
AFO was indeed related to Pharaoh tumeng by blood. When link had synthesized AFO, one of the important materials had been the Pharaoh tumengâs shroud. After the synthesis, AFO naturally had the Pharaohâs aura.
When the macaw pushed Ah Fu out, link already understood Jinâs â cunning intentions â, so he just let Ah Fu do what he wanted while he watched from the side.
it has been almost a thousand years since the end of the Pharaoh dynasty. Human beings have evolved into modern civilization, set off a revolution, and overthrew the rule of the Pharaohs. Everyone is free and no longer the personal property of the Pharaohs.
Pharaoh tumeng listened attentively, trying to absorb the knowledge and evolution of âmodern dayâ from these words.
âThen, did you come to the pharaohâs tomb to acknowledge your ancestors and restore your dynasty?â
The anger in Fuâs chest rose by a few degrees. This guy was taking advantage of him with every word he said, but boss still wanted him to communicate with this person. He was so angry!
â no, â ah fu refused righteously. â i heard that there was something unusual here, so my boss brought us in to take a look. â
This time, the look in Pharaoh tumengâs eyes under his Golden Mask changed several times. He focused his gaze on link.
the descendants of pharaohs are of noble status, but they are actually servants to others. Has the Pharaoh dynasty fallen to such a state? â
Pharaoh tumeng sighed and then said, â âWhat qualifications do you have to proclaim yourself as a King in front of me!â
link chuckled and flashed his dagger. when fu and pharaoh tumeng were talking, he had already used the heaven sonâs insight to see through the pharaohâs soul box and found two very interesting things in his body.
First, there were two cores in this mechanical host.
The first core was mainly gathered in the head, and if he was not mistaken, it should be the soul power of Pharaoh tumeng.
the second core was in the heart. this was a mass of turbulent matter that was constantly emitting energy. The generated energy was transmitted to the limbs and bones of the body through the âductsâ that acted like meridians in the mechanical host, just like how blood vessels provided energy to a living person.
A thousand years ago, this Pharaoh tumeng was one of the more well-known pharaohs. He could be said to be the one who created the golden age of the Pharaoh dynasty, and it had a history of more than 1500 years. A mechanical structure from 1500 years ago could still operate today. Link was very curious about this Mechanical Soul Box.
of course, based on linkâs experience from two lives, he could vaguely guess what the energy core in his heart was.
Unsurprisingly, this â artificial heart â was the legendary â heart of the desert â. It was also the epic event [ heart of the desert ] that was activated after completing the main city Mission [ Sand City: eliminate Chendu ] and destroying the machinery faith and wasteland gang.
it was rumored that as long as one had the heart of the desert, they could control the entire desert.
However, this thing had only existed in legends and had only been seen in the murals of the tombs of the Pharaohs of the previous generations. A thousand years after the fall of the Pharaoh dynasty, no one had heard of the heart of the desert reappearing in the human world. Now, most people regarded it as an object from the ancient myths of the Pharaoh dynasty and that it did not really exist.
However, since link had encountered it today, he had to study it carefully.
âQualifications? youâll know once you try.â
The next second, link suddenly disappeared. The dagger gleamed coldly as he reappeared in front of the Pharaoh. They immediately fought.
â¦â¦
At the same time.
The South of the wasteland.
a fishing boat was â aimlessly â sailing under the scorching sun.
boss, weâve been sailing for five days and four nights and have reached the sea area you mentioned, but thereâs no sign of the island. Could the map in your hand be fake? â the captain was full of complaints, but he didnât dare to be too presumptuous in front of this rich man.
On the hot sea, there was a dry heat in the cabin. The crew was shirtless, and only one person was wrapped in a hooded robe, like a person in a suit.
âIâll double the reward after you find it.â The cloaked manâs voice was slightly hoarse, and the image of an old man could be seen in his mind just by listening to the voice.
when the captain heard the promise, his worried face instantly bloomed into a smile. he immediately stood up and said, â âDonât worry, weâll definitely find the location of the island on the map!â
The captain walked out of the cabin and began to shout for the crew to continue to work hard. He also announced the new price that he had just negotiated with the investor, which immediately triggered a burst of cheers.
While the crew members were cheering, the captain came to the cockpit to find the helmsman and first mate.
The joy from the price increase disappeared, and he leaned back in his seat. âThe pay has been doubled again.â
itâs doubled again. Thatâs ten times the reward. Do you think this old man can still pay ten times the reward? â The first mate asked in a low voice. the helmsman at the side couldnât help but sigh. yeah, the reward he got for boarding the ship was a whole box of gems. Now itâs ten boxes!
The captain unfurled the sheepskin map and pointed at the Red Cross. letâs not talk about the rewards for now. Since this old man is willing to spend so much money to go to this Nameless Island, there must be some valuable treasures on this Island. After we find the island, if there are a lot of treasures, weâll run away, â the captain said as he slit his throat.
âIf thereâs an old manâs helper on the island, wouldnât we be the ones walking into the trap? I think we should kill him now and look for this Island slowly. If there are few people on the island, we will attack. If there are many people, we will pretend to enter by mistake and recruit more sailors when we retreat. We will plan slowly!â The first mate said in a low voice.
âAlso, did you guys notice that this old man was wearing a cloak and robe, but he seemed to be holding something like a box in his arms? no matter if he was eating or resting, he would hold it in his arms and refuse to show it. i suspect that thereâs a valuable treasure in that box.â
The first mate and the helmsmanâs words were extremely tempting.
they had been floating on the sea for five days and four nights. now they were in the open sea, and there were no islands or people within hundreds of miles.
Kill this old man and throw his body into the sea without anyone knowing. You can also monopolize the treasure and the treasure map.
Desire was like a squid, gradually climbing into the captainâs heart. The tentacles of desire had firmly entangled his heart, making him unable to make any other decisions.
âThen let Zhenzhen get rid of him?â The captainâs eyes flashed with a hint of slyness.
