["The Adromar Empire has no intention of being an enemy of the Fool. Please withdraw from the desert and promise not to interfere in desert affairs from now on!" Evans, who is wearing armor, looks at you seriously and gives you a formal warning. your choice……】
[A hero does not suffer immediate losses and leaves the desert], [Escapes from the siege, your plan will not be stopped due to interference from outsiders].
Mu You naturally chose the latter.
He must find the magic pen, not to mention that there is an ice blue green trapped in Caesar's territory. It is absolutely impossible for him to withdraw from the desert now.
["Then, we can only force you to leave the country." Seeing you shaking your head in refusal, Evans looked coldly and waved the broad sword in his hand: "Take it!"]
[The soldiers around you suddenly formed a formation and rushed toward you...]
[You switched to the Vampire Marquis skin. 】
[You have released the 'Dark Realm', and the environment near you has automatically entered midnight time. However, in the desert of eternal daylight, even at midnight, the sun is still high in the sky. 】
[Under the scorching sun, the 'Scorching Sun' curse takes effect, and the blood all over your body becomes extremely cold, as if countless fine needles are constantly piercing your body. 】
[The 'daydreaming' curse breaks out and you become extremely sleepy, unable to summon up your strength and energy. 】
Sure enough, the Dark Realm cannot work in the Everlasting Desert, because there is no concept of night here, and the sun is still high even at midnight.
Similar to the Moon Scepter, even if he summons a full moon night, the sun and full moon will appear in the sky at the same time.
The principle of both methods is to temporarily adjust the local celestial phenomena to the corresponding time point. However, if that time point itself is not dark night, it will be useless even if it is changed.
Of course, Mu You's switch to vampire skin now is not to fight, but to use the skin's talents to get out of trouble.
[You activate 'Super Speed', and the actions of everyone around you become extremely slow in your eyes. 】
[You shuttled through the gaps in the crowd, easily breaking through the crowd and arriving at the open space in the distance. 】
[You placed a dark teleportation array on the ground...]
After setting up the teleportation array in a safe place, Mu You did not leave in a hurry, but released the divine speed on the spot.
[The flow of time resumes, and the attacks of a group of soldiers fail one after another, and they suddenly look around in confusion for you. 】
[Until a soldier found you who was far away from the crowd and called out your location, everyone looked at you. 】
[Evans walked out of the crowd, but did not order his men to do useless work again. Instead, he looked at you calmly from a distance, as if he was not surprised by the result. 】
["Evans, I just want to ask you, is Caesar the djinn?" You asked Evans. 】
["No." Evans answered without any hesitation. 】
[After receiving a clear reply, you stepped into the teleportation array. 】
[After a period of dizziness, you appear in the underground palace of the Caesar Cult...]
Caesar is not a djinn!
Evans should not lie about this.
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, it would be easier to handle once this point was made clear.
The bard said before that the Manticore's lair is hidden in the Gobi Plateau in the north of the Scarlet Desert.
Mu You immediately gathered his followers and began to search the desert for the location of the manticore's lair.
No matter how the situation develops next, it is definitely right to find a way to get the Miracle Lamp first and take the initiative.
After the previous believers returned, they had already informed other members of the church about Caesar's appearance. The whole church was filled with joy, even more festive than the Chinese New Year.
At the same time, Mu You's identity as Caesar's spokesperson has been accepted by everyone. At this moment, everyone has no objection to the orders he gave personally and hurriedly followed them.
However, not long after the task was assigned, bad news came back one after another.
It turned out that after he left just now, Evans led an army to the northern part of the Scarlet Desert, directly surrounded the Gobi Plateau there, and expelled all the surrounding people, making it impossible for the believers to get close, let alone He said he was looking for the manticore's lair.
Mu You was helpless about this, and could only say that having more people means being arrogant.
Mu You estimated that Evans was afraid that he would release Caesar, so he planned to find the magic lamp before him, and then destroy the magic lamp directly. This would ensure that Caesar would be sealed in that isolated space forever.
But in this way, the troubadour's behavior became a bit strange: If this person really wanted to incite him to defeat the Manticore, get the magic lamp, and release Caesar, why did he go out of his way to inform Ai of this matter? The Dolmaar Empire and Evans?
This person should know Evans' position. After learning about this incident, he will definitely try his best to destroy the magic lamp. Wouldn't doing so create obstacles for Caesar's release?
Unless the other party's purpose was to get them to fight, and then he would benefit from it?
Mu You frowned, unsure for the moment.
In short, the current situation is very magical: not to mention that the original allies have become enemies, and the Caesar's Cult, which they originally jointly wanted to deal with, has become his loyal subordinate.
However, it is of course impossible for the mere 1,000 people in the church to compete head-on with the opponent's 100,000-strong army. Now he has to find some other support.
Thinking of this, Mu You clicked on the 'Eye of the Divine Beast' from the game.
A round eyeball appeared in his hand.
As soon as the eyes appeared, the brown vertical pupils opened immediately and looked around.
After taking in the entire environment of the pet shop, his eyes finally turned back to Mu You.
As his pupils stared at him, Mu You suddenly felt like his whole body was falling into a quagmire, his limbs were stiff, and his whole body began to gradually solidify.
Mu You took a photo with his cell phone, and then hurriedly put the black cloth covering his eyes back, and his body returned to normal.
"How is it?" Mu You sent the photo to Lin Xue and asked her, an animal expert, to help analyze it.
"That's right. This kind of fine needle-like pupil structure should generally be the eyeball of a snake or lizard..." Lin Xue replied.
"Snake or lizard..."
Mu You pondered for a moment, these two creatures were quite common in the desert.
And this thing will appear in the hands of those three weak bishops, and it is likely to be dedicated to them by a certain believer.
Thinking of this, Mu You called all the believers back in the game.
[You summoned all the members of the Caesar Cult, then took out the Eye of the Divine Beast, showed it to everyone, and asked about the origin of this thing. 】
["Well, this thing...was donated by me..." The bald bandit standing next to you looked at you with some anxiety: "Mr. Bishop, is there something wrong?"]
It turned out to be him!
Mu You immediately understood. No wonder this person stood out among the people in the divine religion. Obviously, the three bishops at the time could also see that this thing was of extraordinary value and made a high contribution.
["No problem, this thing is of great significance to the subsequent rescue of Emperor Caesar. I need to know where you got it." You looked at the bald bandit and asked. 】
[The bald bandit was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "I stole this eyeball from the lair of a group of bandits I joined some time ago."]
["Of course, that group of bandits was just a temporary place for me to stay after entering the Scarlet Desert. The total number of people was only a little over a hundred. I only hung out with them for a month. After hearing the news about the Caesar Cult, I immediately went there. Come and join us!" The bald bandit defended hurriedly. 】
Mu You didn't bother to care about his relationship with the previous bandit. After confirming the source, he immediately let the bald man lead the way, and then led his followers to rush to the enemy's lair to investigate.
[...The sand land ship docked in front of a desert canyon. The mouth of the canyon in front was blocked by layers of man-made thorns, making it impassable. 】
["Your Majesty Bishop, this is the home base of the Black Snake Bandits!" The bald bandit looked at you and asked, "Do you need your subordinates to go in and negotiate with them?"]
Mu You thought that there were only about a hundred sand bandits, and it was a waste of time to negotiate. He can't defeat an army of 100,000 people, so why can't he bully a group of bandits?
[You shake your head and directly order all the troops to attack and eliminate this group of bandits. This is the first official step taken by the Caesar Religion to save Emperor Caesar! 】
["For Caesar!" Under your instigation, a group of believers shouted church slogans and rushed into the canyon with weapons in hand. 】
[The sound of gold and iron and screams soon came from the canyon. 】
[...After a while, the noise in the canyon gradually calmed down, and a believer came to report: You have successfully captured the other party's lair! 】
[You follow the believers into the canyon and finally come to a large cave. 】
[At this time, all the remaining bandits have been tied up by the believers and are kneeling on the ground, waiting for your punishment. 】
[You take out the Eye of the Divine Beast again and ask the bandits about its origin. 】
["My treasure!" The moment you took out the Eye of the Divine Beast, a kneeling bandit suddenly stared at you with red eyes and shouted. 】
["Be honest, this is our Lord Bishop!" Baldhead kicked the sand bandit to the ground. Judging from the strength of the kick, it was somewhat personal. 】
[According to Baldhead's introduction, this bandit is the leader of this group of bandits, 'Black Snake', and the Eye of the Divine Beast was stolen from him. 】
[Black Snake looks at you evil bandits with hatred, but because his life is in your hands, he does not dare to resist, so he can only answer your questions obediently. 】
Finally finding the rightful owner, Mu You didn't bother to use any gentle means and directly gave him truth-telling potion and forced him to interrogate him.
It's a pity that the sand bandit couldn't tell the reason in the end. According to him, this thing was just something he accidentally dug out of the sand when he was panning for gold in this canyon a long time ago. At that time, except for this eyeball, there was nothing else around. and nothing else.
Later, he relied on the magical ability of this eyeball to win over a group of younger brothers, and then he became the leader of the bandits. It was precisely because this eyeball resembled a snake's eye that he named himself 'Black Snake', and he became the leader of the bandits. Trapped in this canyon where eyeballs were discovered.
After the interrogation was over, Mu You felt a little disappointed, it was just something he picked up anywhere...
However, since it can be found in this canyon, maybe there is something wrong with the canyon itself.
Thinking of this, Mu You simply ordered other believers to start digging three feet into the canyon to search.
[A group of believers immediately dispersed to all directions in the canyon and began digging in the sand to find treasures in full swing. 】
【Exploring treasures...】
What followed was a long period of searching. Mu You waited for three full hours, but still no one reported to him that he had found the treasure.
Mu You shook his head helplessly. It was a pity that this was Yongzhi. Otherwise, he would have been able to find clues faster by using a jack-o'-lantern and lucky dust.
Just when Mu You thought there would be no results in a short time, a message suddenly popped up in the game that surprised him.
[The Pocket Toad who is hunting for treasure with everyone suddenly jumps back on your shoulder and tells you good news: with its natural sensitivity to treasures, it has just discovered something special in the sand somewhere deep in the canyon. 】
[You hurriedly go with Pocket Toad to check. 】
[Pocket Toad takes you to the foot of the mountain where it found the treasure. However, the 'treasure' that appears in front of you is just an ordinary animal bone without any magic power fluctuations. The only strange thing is this The cut animal bones are quite huge, nearly a person tall...]
"Huh?"
When Mu You saw this prompt, instead of being disappointed, he was quite surprised.
Because this eyeball is the 'eye of a mythical beast', and the 'mythical beast' here is probably something from the world of giants, so it must be extremely huge, and the large animal bone in front of you may be one of the mythical beasts. A bone!
[You quickly order other believers to continue digging where the animal bones were found. 】
[A moment later, a cultist discovered a new giant skeleton...]
[Another believer found another skeleton a little further away...]
…
Sure enough, as he changed the search target to animal bones, good news began to spread frequently on the scene.
The entire excavation work lasted a day and a night. More than a thousand people gathered in the canyon and worked around the clock all day long. During this period, a total of thousands of large animal bones were dug out!
Mu You extracted all the animal bones and took photos to send to Lin Xue.
Lin Xue, on the other hand, specifically contacted Song Wenjing, her classmate in the Department of Foreign Studies, and seemingly borrowed a professional archaeological tool software from her, input all the animal bone data into a model, and then tried it in the software. Three-dimensional splicing.
The result of the splicing surprised Mu You and Lin Xue: it was not a snake, because it had eight sharp claws under its body, and it was not a lizard, because its length was much longer than a lizard.
To use a more accurate description, this is a 'dragon', a bone dragon with a length of more than 150 meters!
However, this dragon is only missing its head, so it is not complete yet.
"Dragon head..."
Mu You thought for a while, returned to the game, asked everyone else to exit the canyon, and then started casting spells.
Since all the bones are here, the dragon head should also be in the canyon, but it may be buried deeper.
【You released the strong wind blowing! 】
[A strong whirlwind roared out, immediately setting off a huge sandstorm in the canyon! 】
[You ignore it and continue to cast spells, constantly raising the sand and dust and blowing it out of the valley. The terrain in the canyon becomes shorter and shorter as the storm continues...]
[When your magic power is about to run out, you finally blow dry the sand in the canyon, exposing the hard rock below. 】
[The sand and dust disperse, and you see a huge beast skull standing quietly on the rock formations under the cliff ahead! 】
[The skull of this beast is four to five meters high. It has a pair of huge horns similar to those of a sheep on the top of its head. The two eye sockets are hollow, the nose bones and jaw bones protrude outward, and a row of sharp fangs under the two jaws have not yet fallen off. 】
[The moment the skull was born, you suddenly noticed that the 'Eye of the Divine Beast' on your body was moving. 】
[You take out the Eye of the Divine Beast and untie the black cloth covering it. The eyes of the divine beast immediately opened, staring straight at the animal bones in front, the pupils trembled, and even couldn't help but burst into tears...]
"Um?"
Mu You couldn't help but feel it. He only had one eyeball and could still shed tears? What's the principle?
But he understood the meaning. The eyes seemed to be really on the skull.
[You jump to the top of the skull and place the eye of the divine beast into one of the eye sockets. 】
[After the eyeball fell into the skull, it automatically grew in size and merged seamlessly with the eye socket. It rotated gurglingly and looked at the world around it...]
Is this the end?
Mu You frowned. He thought that after putting the eyeballs on, there would be some more shocking changes like the finishing touch, such as the bone dragon directly resurrecting Feitian with a roar...
The result was no, except that the eyeballs and skull were fused, there were no other abnormalities.
[The eyeballs look at you again, but this time you are not petrified. You feel a hint of pleading in the eyes that look at you: this eyeball seems to want to ask you to do something, but it cannot express it, so you can only guess. 】
"oh?"
Mu You raised his eyebrows. It seemed that there was still a chance for resurrection, but some conditions were lacking.
condition……
Mu You pondered for a moment, and quickly thought of something: divinity!
All creatures in the giant world have divinity, and the previous description of the soul-inducing lamp also mentioned that spending divinity can repair the soul and resurrect those who died in the giant world.
Could it be that this bone dragon also needs divinity to be resurrected?
After hesitating for a moment, Mu You held the pocket watch and tried to inject divinity into the dragon head in the game.
He now only has fifty points of divinity and less than twenty divinity crystals. Every point is very precious. Try it first to see if it is useful. If it is in vain, quickly go back and take it back.
[You injected 1 point of divinity into the skull of the giant beast! 】
[The skull of the giant beast suddenly trembled, but then it became quiet again, and there was no more sound. 】
"oh?"
Mu You was overjoyed. Sure enough, he reacted. It seemed that he was not divine enough.
[You injected 10 points of divinity into the skull of the giant beast! 】
[The skull trembled more violently, and then there was no response...]
[You once again injected 39 points of divinity into the skull of the giant beast! 】
[The skull of the giant beast suddenly vibrates violently, and you see the upper and lower jaw bones of the skull begin to slowly squirm. At the same time, a chaotic and distant voice sounds in your head. 】
["Human, thank you for helping me find my eyes!"]
["Please continue to inject divinity into me. If you can help me resurrect and escape from this place, I promise to use it for you..."]
