Chapter 399 Death Sahara (75)

Ifrit's huge figure was crushed to pieces by Tang Shuang's hand, leaving only the trembling flame core in the petrified tree hole. It would be easy for Wei Xun to use Vulcan Pollution Erosion to control it now, but Wei Xun didn't do anything to it for the time being and just picked up the fragment of the petrified tree.

"Is this Ifrit?"

Chen Cheng asked. He returned the vampire knife to Bingyi, still holding the Hanshan Sword vigilantly, always ready to take action.

"Yes, Ifrit has lost."

Bai Laoer's voice came from the side, surprising everyone. Because of his previous performance, Cheng Tianbao and others subconsciously took a defensive posture, but saw Bai Laoer come over with a smile and pick up the weak and seriously injured Director B.

"Hey you——"

He Yunlai subconsciously wanted to stop him, but Liu Hongyu grabbed his hand and shook his head. Director No. 1 and C didn't resist at all. The "falling out" of the No. 2 boss just now might have been an act. In the second consecutive battle against Sun Spider and Ifrit, Director C was too seriously injured, and even their Dragon and Tiger Pills couldn't have much effect. Nowadays, only Bai Laoer and the others may have a panacea that may be able to cure Director C.

"We also need a break."

Chen Cheng said, blood was flowing from his forehead. Everyone present was seriously injured. Looking around, there were traces of fierce battles everywhere. Their temporary camp had been destroyed long ago, with mummies in powder, and ravines left by the lashing of the earth by flame chains. Covered with magma flames, emitting dots of light in the dark night, the scorching high temperature and strong sulfur smell are completely unsuitable for human survival.

The entire petrified forest was almost completely destroyed, leaving only the crooked giant petrified tree in the middle of the forest still standing. Chen Cheng remembered that Bai Laoer carried Director Bing and left in that direction, but their figures had disappeared. I don’t know if there is a secret method or if there is still danger hidden in the ruins of the forest.

Moreover, Bai Laoer and Director B deliberately avoided them because they probably had some privacy that they didn't want to be disturbed.

"Go to the burrow."

Chen Cheng said, the sun spiders and the little spiders were all dead, and the cave seemed to be protected by an invisible barrier and was not affected by the fierce battle. The shallow layer was suitable for them to stay temporarily.

It was already two o'clock in the morning, and everyone was tired and in desperate need of treatment and rest. After leading their friends to the entrance of the cave, Chen Cheng and Cheng Tianbao and Tong Fu carefully explored the cave first, only to find that the shallow layer of the cave seemed to have been swept away and was extremely clean. There was no residual blood, limbs or corpses of spiders as they imagined. .

Everyone was fighting just now, and only Bai Laoer had time to collect items and resources. Chen Cheng's heart moved slightly, thinking of Bai Laoer's smiling face he saw just now. Although Chen Cheng also wanted to collect some items, it would be good if these impressive remains of insect corpses could satisfy Bai Lao Er's appetite and stop him from intimidating Director C anymore.

"Tang Shuang, come with me."

After placing his teammates in the shallow layer of the cave, Chen Cheng called Tang Shuang. He felt that his memory seemed to be missing some. It became vague and unclear from the Ifrit Blood Sacrifice. What his teammates said about him piercing the core of the false flame and protecting their huge bone hand, Chen Cheng could only vaguely remember. impression.

The only one who was in the same situation as him was Tang Shuang. Thinking about the bone hand, Chen Cheng suspected that this matter had something to do with Tang Shuang - maybe it had something to do with his inheritance of the red sand giant flame, or the fact that he had given birth to Phoenician stone eggs.

Chen Cheng believes that this point is very critical and must be reminded of Director C. Moreover, he was really worried about Director C's situation and Bai Lao Er's intentions, so he planned to use this excuse to visit Director C.

When Chen Cheng and Tang Shuang hurried to the giant petrified tree, An Xuefeng, Wei Xun, and Ban Ming were on the giant petrified tree. The ferret Tong Hege transformed into a human and was busy hurriedly to treat Wei Xun's injuries. Ginseng extract and Tai Sui juice were sprinkled on Wei Xun's body for free. Although there was not much time and the situation happened frequently, Tong Hege took the time to study dragons and tigers. The treasure pill is still quite effective. These two precious liquids full of vitality have a faint feeling of fusion, and the effect is doubled.

But many parts of Wei Xun's body were necrotic, and the necrotic parts had to be cut out to grow new bone, skin, and flesh. Tong Hesheng was holding a ginseng-leaf knife and was holding his breath and concentrating on cutting the lower half of Wei Xun's face, which was burnt black. This was also Wei Xun's most serious injury. His body was protected by a scarlet cloak, and the upper half of his face was covered with a hood and mask, but the lower half of his face was horrible to look at.

Watching this scene, I had my brows furrowed and my heart was worried for half my life, but Wei Xun looked like a normal person with a smile in his eyes, and couldn't help stroking the soft black feathers of the phoenix in his arms, and he relaxed a little.

An Fengniao, who had become invisible again after leaving Chen Cheng and the others, showed his figure, and the whole bird squeezed into Wei Xun's arms. The Anka Life Talisman in his heart was close to Wei Xun's heart, protecting him from death. When he reached the top of the giant petrified tree, the An Feng bird nestled quietly in Wei Xun's arms, calming Wei Xun's emotions while using its black beak. Slowly, he pecked at the soft silver-white wolf hair on Wei Xun's fingers and arms.

Wei Xun is not afraid of pain, but these wolf hairs are connected to Silver Moon Killer's soul, which is equivalent to An Xuefeng pecking Silver Moon Killer's soul unceremoniously. But Silver Moon Killer remained silent without any reaction, and allowed An Fengniao to pluck out the hair on his arm. Finally, Tong Hege felt relieved and said, "Okay, it's finally off."

Captain An's dignified aura was too stressful.

Tong Hege thought about it and warned carefully: "Don't move around, don't make any expressions, don't talk for three hours, wait until the bones grow."

'good'

Wei Xun smiled and said that it would be really convenient to have a private chat here. He felt that he was cool from the tip of his nose down, and was covered with Tong Hege's special liquid medicine. Banming took apart a few bamboo tubes and jade pieces that were used to hold items as a fixation, and together with Tong Hege, fixed Wei Xun's entire head, so that he would not move around.

Although the head could not move, the hands could still move. Wei Xun took the charred lower half of his facial bones from Tong Hege with interest, but saw that it was radiated by strong sunlight and burned by fierce fire. Under the attack of two nearly unsolvable monsters, it no longer looked like bones. It was extremely hard, and there was a metallic sound when it was touched. It was also permeated with strands of light and fire patterns, and the black teeth were exposed, like pieces of obsidian.

Wei Xun took it and covered the lower half of his face. If the inside was polished, it would look like a skull "mask" made of excellent material - or it would be more appropriate to say that it was a half mask.

If it can really be used as a mask for the lower half of his face, that would be great. He just needs a mask to protect the lower half of his face.

"Your bones are really tough. I thought they would turn to ash if touched."

Ban Ming, who was relieved, watched Tong Hege treat other wounds on Wei Xun's body, and couldn't help but start to nag: "But the sun altar in the cave is also all bones... Could it be that bones have some special meaning to the sun?"

So the skin and flesh of Wei Xun's lower face were radiated into ashes by the light of the sun spider, but the bones were preserved and mutated in some way, so that they could withstand the flames of Ifrit next?

"Ha, ha ha..."

Ban Ming paused and laughed dryly when he was suddenly glanced at by An Fengniao. He took out a few containers, which contained the blood and flesh shells of the sun spiders that he had collected for Wei Xun before. But there were only three containers before, but now Ban Ming took out thirty - he just took advantage of the fierce battle to explore the cave and swept back all the spiders' limbs, cocoons, spider silk, spider webs, etc.

It's terrible. An Xuefeng hadn't said a word to him since then. Now he has this look again. He must be angry.

Banming gave all these things to Tong Hege, watching him swallow them one by one as usual, and didn't dare to look at An Xuefeng at all.

Yes, Banming was also a little scared. Wei Xun said that he didn't need him and he really left after he played the role. After all, Banming thought that 'Wei Xun asked him to leave. If he stayed, it might disrupt Wei Xun's plan and cause an accident to the originally smooth plan'

But how can he be sure that the plan will go smoothly? Wei Xun is not omnipotent. It stands to reason that when An Xuefeng can't take full action, Banming is the most reliable and strongest fighting force on Wei Xun's side. What battlefield Tang Shuang and Chen Cheng are not worthy of full trust in An Xuefeng's eyes.

As a result, Banming actually left directly-An Xuefeng was angry here. Banming is also an experienced traveler. Doesn't he know the reason for hiding at the edge of the battlefield for protection?

Wei Xun likes taking risks and likes to risk a small amount to win a big one. Others should think more than him and protect him more thoroughly. No one is perfect. Everyone may have omissions. How can they just follow Wei Xun's orders? He is not a straightforward person who can't think!

'Let's expel the soul of the Silver Moon Killer'

An Xuefeng discussed with Wei Xun. He wove the wolf hair he had just pecked off into a flying feather and held it between Wei Xun's fingers. The silver wolf hair was densely woven into the feathers as dark as night, flashing with cold and pure silver light, just like the moonlight in the middle of the night.

Wei Xun allowed the Silver Moon Killer to erode his soul first to borrow strength and second for the moonlight. Now that the fierce battle is over, it is enough to have this feather in the moonlight - this is the moonlight born from the soul of the Silver Moon Killer, the purest and incomparable.

The Silver Moon Killer had infiltrated Wei Xun's soul too deeply. If it weren't for the connection with An Xuefeng, he might have already infected Wei Xun's soul completely. It was almost the last moment, and An Xuefeng was too worried about the Silver Moon Killer's soul infiltration.

'Will his soul infiltration affect you? '

Wei Xun asked with concern. Hearing Wei Xun worrying about him, An Xuefeng felt warm in his heart and almost let out a series of happy chirps. He rubbed Wei Xun's fingers with reserve and said lightly: 'No, they don't have the 30 degrees north latitude journey'

He was connected to Wei Xun's soul, and normally the Silver Moon Killer's soul infiltration would also affect him. But the Silver Moon Killer only infiltrated a small part of Wei Xun's soul, and the guides who had opened up the 30 degrees north latitude journey were different. If the Silver Moon Killer and his friends also had the 30 degrees north latitude journey in hand, and their souls spread the invasion of the 30 degrees north latitude pollution, An Xuefeng would still be afraid, but they didn't. An Xuefeng was really not afraid of the simple soul erosion.

‘That’s good’

Wei Xun breathed a sigh of relief and roughly told An Xuefeng about his plan. An Xuefeng frowned and thought carefully. Wei Xun’s plan was too risky, but it was indeed feasible. And An Xuefeng immediately heard the core of Wei Xun’s plan.

‘You want the Silver Moon Killer to pollute Ifrit’s core flame? ’

‘That’s right’

Wei Xun said that he wanted to open up the 30 degrees north latitude journey related to the sun in the scene reenactment, and then destroy the sun altar to make the sun crazy. But the crazy sun pollution in the sun pendant was almost exhausted when the sun spider was sacrificed. If pollution was not possible, other means could only be used.

However, the historical Black Sand Giant appeared in the early morning of today (it is now their second day in the petrified forest), and Chen Cheng's team will leave this attraction at five o'clock tomorrow morning. In five hours, it is already very tight to defeat the Black Sand Giant's plan and open up the journey of the Sun Altar. There is no time to destroy the altar and carry the madness of the sun.

Wei Xun promised to send Chen Cheng and his team to the end smoothly, and he would fulfill his promise to set off at five in the morning and take them to the Eye of the Sahara, the end of the journey. He can't stay here to lead the destruction of the Sun Altar, so this matter must be done by someone else.

Dream Chaser has a grudge against Zhang Xingzang and the Fun People, and has severe PTSD about the Crazy Sun. He may not agree with Wei Xun's plan. Wei Xun doesn't believe the astrologer. Who knows if the astrologer will do something to the "Crazy Sun"? He doesn't intend to let them participate.

Half Life is his backup. Destroying the Ancient Oasis may not destroy his token. Maybe his token will be transformed into a token for the new journey of the "Sun Altar". But after destroying the Sun Altar and completely destroying the 30 degrees north latitude journey in these two aspects, it should be considered that the 30 degrees north latitude is completely destroyed.

Banming is likely to recover his strength and regain his memory. But if his strength cannot be restored before destroying the Sun Altar, it is impossible for him to make the sun crazy with his current strength.

So Wei Xun set his sights on the Silver Moon Killer and the Lizard Duke. Before, he deliberately pretended not to notice, let Ifrit distract himself to secretly contact the Silver Moon Killer, and this time let the Silver Moon Killer soul be infiltrated, all of which were Wei Xun's judgment of their thoughts.

Whether there is an idea of ​​destroying the Sun Altar and destroying the "new journey".

Now he has roughly confirmed it.

'The Lizard Duke will destroy the new journey'

An Xuefeng thought for a while and gave a positive answer: 'This way he will benefit the most'

After all, this is just a scene replay. To some extent, opening up a journey has no practical significance at all, because this journey has been opened up in history, and Banming still has the token. Whether it is helping the black sand giant or helping the sun, the Chen Cheng Brigade led by Wei Xun has benefited the most.

But destroying it is different. By then, the 30 Degrees North Latitude Journey will collapse and the pollution will spread. Everyone will be polluted instantly, but the unique pollution is also the manifestation of the power of the 30 Degrees North Latitude. This is the fastest way for the Duke of Lizard to obtain part of the power of the 30 Degrees North Latitude!

There are not many days left for the warm-up competition of the year-end celebration, and the Duke of Lizard will not miss this opportunity.

Moreover, veteran tour guides can roughly guess the time of the scenic spot. Bingyi and others will stay in the petrified forest for at most two days, and they will definitely leave when the time comes. Wait until then to kill the "sun", and no one can stop them.

This is much more feasible than snatching the 30 Degrees North Latitude Journey from Dream Chaser, Astrologer, An Xuefeng, and Bingyi.

But after Bingyi and others leave, the Sun Altar is very likely to exclude other things and then close. They have to find a way to sneak into the altar quietly.

‘Ifrit is the demon spirit guarding the Sun Altar, and the Sun has not kept its promise with him… maybe the Sun feels guilty’

‘If you want to take the path of opening up the Sun Altar, you won’t completely devour him’

An Xuefeng said: ‘Ifrit is more useful alive than dead’

Even if he betrays, he is different from the servants of God. In the past, God promised Ifrit that he only had to guard the Sun Altar for a thousand years, and then an angel should take over. Ifrit guarded it for thousands of years, and it was God who broke his promise first.

Wei Xun picked up Ifrit’s flame core, kneaded it, and squeezed it out of the sluggish it into a small fire. The pale flame was then swallowed and absorbed by Wei Xun, and then squeezed and swallowed again.

Wei Xun would absorb Ifrit’s flame core, but would not completely eat it. The most likely possibility is to take it to the Sun Altar and stay there in exchange for more benefits.

And the Silver Moon Killer infiltrated Bingyi’s soul, apparently trying to control Bingyi and take away the butterfly fragments from him. Journey to the 30th Degree North Latitude. But with An Xuefeng here, this is basically impossible to succeed.

His real goal is most likely to take the opportunity to infect Ifrit when the Ifrit Flame Core is fused with C1, and then use Ifrit's Flame Core to sneak into the Sun Altar!

Wei Xun is planning to give the Silver Moon Killer this opportunity. To some extent, their goals are the same, and they can even cooperate. But Wei Xun clearly knows that there is a historical factor of someone, and it is very unlikely that the Lizard Duke trusts him. Once discovered, he may think that he has some conspiracy, which will cause trouble to the plan.

How can he not let the Silver Moon Killer find out and let him sneak into the Ifrit Flame Core quietly?

‘I have a way’

An Xuefeng said, the phoenix bird lightly jumped onto Wei Xun’s head. Unlike the heavy weight when Banming carried it, it was so light that it had almost no weight when it landed on Wei Xun’s head. The phoenix bird skillfully pulled up Wei Xun’s hair - or the long snow-white wolf hair, and then woven it into its own feathers. In a few moves, An Fengniao flexibly used the long silver moon wolf hair to weave a small cage, just enough to lock Ifrit’s flame core inside.

“Oh, Captain An is really good at talking.”

Banming praised the bird next to him: “Ifrit is too cunning. It’s really worrying that there is nothing to lock it up.”

Wei Xun threw the Ifrit core that had swallowed up most of its flames into the cage. With the shock of the silver moon’s glory and the power of An Fengniao, the Ifrit flame core that was weakened to this extent could not escape again.

Normally speaking, with the feathers of An Fengniao, the Silver Moon Killer could not infect Ifrit’s core.

Then Wei Xun immersed himself in the connection with An Xuefeng, asking him to help remove the soul infection of the Silver Moon Killer.

See, isn't this good to have a discussion? As long as you can come up with a better way, Wei Xun is not an unreasonable person. Wei Xun's original method of leaving loopholes was still a bit crude, and the suspicious Lizard Duke might find the problem. The loophole left by An Xuefeng was more hidden.

An Fengniao was happy to be close to Wei Xun, and the whole bird was completely nestled in Wei Xun's arms, and it was embarrassed to open its wings and hug his arms. Speaking of it, it was a bit embarrassing for a grown man to nestle in the arms of his partner, especially when a half-life who didn't know how to read people's eyes kept looking at him.

But thinking about the fact that he had hugged Wei Xun like this several times, An Xuefeng calmed down. They were all men, all the same. Anyway, he was a bird now, so what if Half-life looked at him? Look at him again.

* *

Three hours later, at five o'clock in the morning, before the sun rose, the sky and the earth were still dark.

Two hundred miles away from the petrified forest, in the howling sandstorm, a sand cave was dug out under the sand dunes. I don't know how it was fixed, the loose sand did not collapse and the sand cave was spacious and solid. In the sand cave lay a silver-white giant wolf, its eyes closed, its body trembling slightly, suddenly it kicked its four claws like a nightmare, and growled uneasyly in its throat.

A golden gecko struggled to lie on its face, stretching its limbs and tail with great effort to contact the giant wolf with the largest area. The most basic relief for tour guides and tourists is touch. In the case of being unable to enter the spiritual illusion, the larger the touch area, the deeper and more stable the connection. This is the case for tour guides and tourists without deep connection. Once the tourist/tour guide has a serious problem, large-scale contact is necessary.

This is the case with An Xuefeng and Wei Xun, and the same is true for Duke of Lizard and Silver Moon Killer. Silver Moon Killer was not very good at souls, but was first attacked by the astrologer's soul, and then infected Bingyi with his soul. Now his condition is not very good.

The Duke of Lizard was patient and kept in contact with the Silver Moon Killer. He endured even when the uneasy white wolf bit his head.

"Success."

Finally, after another head bite, the Silver Moon Killer trembled all over and returned to human form from the white wolf. His face was slightly pale, and the first thing he did when he turned back was to wipe the head of the little gecko with his clothes.

"Tell me what the specific situation is."

The little golden gecko struggled hard in the cloth stained with wolf hair, and asked impatiently and seriously. The Silver Moon Killer briefly explained what happened, and finally talked about the cage that held the flame core of Ifrit.

"An Xuefeng was guarding it tightly, and I used the feathers of Babieta."

The Silver Moon Killer said that the cage had An Xuefeng's feathers, and his wolf hair could not be stained with Ifrit's flame core. But the Duke of Lizard was interested in the journey to the 30th degree north latitude in the hands of the Black Widow before, and he got a lot of "feathers of Babieta" from the parliament.

Of course, at first glance, this ‘Babie Tower’ is a low-profile pirated version of the ‘Tower of Babel’. The arms dealer of the Parliament must have obtained it from the replicator Wang Yushu of the Return. But this happened many years ago, when Wang Yushu had not yet joined the Return.

The biggest function of the ‘Feather of Babie Tower’ is to quietly replace the feathers impregnated with the power of the 30th Degree North Latitude - in fact, it is not aimed at the Tower of Babel. The feathers impregnated with the power of the 30th Degree North Latitude can be replaced, making the fake look real. The Duke of Lizard originally wanted to use it to replace the feather token in the hands of the Black Widow, but he never found an opportunity.

But this time, An Xuefeng happened to be in the form of a phoenix, and also feathers, so he could use feathers to weave a prison. The Silver Moon Killer was bold and careful. While An Xuefeng was connected to Bingyi and had no time to pay attention, he endured the pain of being expelled from the soul and replaced the feathers, causing a loophole in An Xuefeng's monitoring, and then quickly impregnated Ifrit's flame core and then extracted the feathers, which was fast and concealed.

He is the most powerful assassin, the first in the hidden Kung Fu Inn, and the Duke of Lizard also believes in his strength.

But isn't it too smooth?

A little doubt flashed through his mind, and the Duke of Lizard narrowed his eyes slightly.

"We will not participate in what happens next."

The Bingyi Brigade defeated the nearly unsolvable Ifrit and Sun Spider, and all members survived. This is incredible. The Duke of Lizard, who originally only regarded Bingyi as a pendant of An Xuefeng's dream chaser, deeply remembered Bingyi this time.

The Duke of Lizard did not believe in things like fortune-telling. But he had never succeeded in planning the journey to the 30th degree north latitude for so many years, which made the Duke of Lizard more cautious in this regard.

"Wait until they leave the petrified forest, and then we will take action."

The Duke of Lizard made a decision, and the Silver Moon Killer nodded slightly.

On the other side, also outside the petrified forest, David frowned and stood guard outside the astrologer's tent, rubbing the ring on his finger. The magic fire dragon anxiously bit the back of David's head, showing his true feelings.

The astrologer was still in a coma. Even if he was corresponding to Liu Hongyu who was supposed to die in the early morning, it was already five o'clock... Five hours had passed since the early morning. Why hadn't the captain woken up yet?

Could it be that in history, Liu Hongyu was like He Yunlai, and did not die immediately after encountering danger?

But he had agreed with the captain that the captain would pass on the message to him after arriving!

* *

The astrologer woke up about an hour ago. He looked around calmly at the first moment, but it was pitch black all around. He seemed to be trapped in a confined space, and he had no hands or feet.

He should be a snake.

The astrologer thought that he should correspond to the snake that killed Liu Hongyu. Paying attention to his confined space is a bit like an eggshell. The astrologer tried to break through the surrounding obstacles but failed. It was not time to hatch, so he waited patiently.

Finally, the eggshell surrounding him shook violently. The cracks on the top of the head are getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that it is about to break. Suddenly, the astrologer felt something. He looked up and saw an eye that was looking at him from outside the crack, which was extremely huge for him at present.

* *

"I'm going to hatch Anka."

Wei Xun said that his face is now roughly back to normal, and most of the injuries on his body have healed. At this moment, he and Half-Life entered the hollow of the giant petrified tree, and entered the underground temple submerged in the desert from the pipe-like tree roots that transported magma. This is also the road that I have explored for half my life before. The giant petrified tree is indeed connected to the depths of the cave.

"There's supposed to be a solar eclipse today."

Only by attracting the black sand giant here according to the historical process can the next plan be completed. If there is no solar eclipse today and the sun has not closed its eyes, the black sand giant may not have the courage to come.

But now Anka Fengniao has not fallen, and An Xuefeng is pretending to be a fake. How can we make the sun "close his eyes in sadness"? Judging from the sunrise and sunset times in the past few days, they still have up to an hour to prepare.

Wei Xun actually wanted to 'create' a solar eclipse!

"I have an idea."

Wei Xun smiled, with flames burning in his hands. The nearly golden-red Phoenician stone eggs in the flames had large cracks. Wei Xun could almost see the creatures inside through the cracks.

A fiery red, big-eyed worm with crimson feathers all over its body looked at him calmly. Wei Xun knew from the look in his eyes that the person corresponding to Liu Hongyu had entered the body of the Anka worm. Wei Xun couldn't tell whether he was an enemy or a friend, but Wei Xun's method did not require this person's cooperation.

Smiling at the big-eyed worm, Wei Xun forced a narrow corn shoot into the Phoenician stone cobbles along the crack. Before entering, he had already rolled the corn shoot around with Vulcan's small fire. Make sure it smells exactly like the Phoenician bird in the stone egg.

A strange creature hatched out of a stone egg in Phoenicia, a real worm! Will this make the sun close its eyes in sadness, or will it make the sun angry?

Wei Xun suspected that the 'sun' in the sun altar no longer had much power. Otherwise, in history, when faced with the provocation of the black sand giant and the fallen Ankh Phoenix, how could it only 'close its eyes'?

Since it could only close its eyes in history, it can only close its eyes now!
