"This is...the northern snowfield?"
In the basement of the pet shop, Fuya stood in front of the open door, looking at the ice and snow scene outside the door, and asked with some uncertainty.
"Yes."
Mu You took Vivian and all the props out of the door first, followed by Lin Xue who followed him onto the snowfield.
Xiaoya and Mu Mianmeng stayed behind the door and watched them enter.
This time they are going to the desert to fight Caesar, and they may face an army of millions. It would be difficult for ordinary people like Xiaoya and others to follow them, and it would be a hindrance. So this time Mu You only plans to lead Lin Snow and Shadow Wolf go over to help.
"Have you thought about it? Do you want to go back?" After transferring all the things he wanted to bring, Mu You turned back to look at Fuya.
"I definitely have to go home. As for whether I can come back or not..." Fuya said with some hesitation.
Now that she has seen her ancestor here, she naturally wants to go back and inform her family about her ancestor's situation. As for what will happen next, she has not thought about it.
When she first wandered here, she wanted to go home desperately, without any hesitation.
However, after living here for a while, she had to admit that life in the Forgotten Land was not bad, but she was a little reluctant to leave like this...
"Then think about it slowly after you go home. Anyway, you can come over at any time." Mu Youyou.
The Fuya family has the ability to clear the curse of the Gate, and they also guard a well that leads directly to the earth, so they can stay wherever they want.
"That's right..." Fuya nodded, no longer struggling, turned around and waved: "Let's go, Sphinx!"
Coca-Cola was huddled at the door. The whole cat was curled up into a ball of fur, hiding under the door frame and pretending to be transparent. He kept thinking silently in his heart, "The master has forgotten me." At this time, he suddenly heard the master's voice, and he suddenly became excited and his face changed. It collapsed instantly.
Compared with Fuya who still has to hesitate whether to go home or not, she is the one who really doesn’t want to go home at all. She has experienced it once before, whether it was the pain caused by weight loss and liposuction after returning home, or the disconnection of the Internet belt. The withdrawal reactions that come are extremely painful.
Unfortunately, under the watchful eye of its owner, it could not refuse and could only reluctantly step out of the door. However, it looked back three times, its pitiful eyes constantly wandering over Xiaoya, Mianmian and Muyou. I almost cried and begged them for help!
"Please lend me the Coke and bring it over for use."
At this moment, Mu You's voice came from behind.
Coke's steps stagnated, as if he had been granted amnesty, and he turned back to look at Mu You gratefully. If the master hadn't been watching, he would have kowtowed to him: As expected, you still understand me best!
"Take the Sphinx? What can it do?" Fuya was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.
"Haha, if you can't do anything else, you can still be a mascot." Mu You said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, when I was in the store, what I was best at was being the Lucky Cat!" Coke nodded hurriedly.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Fuya staring at it speechlessly.
"No, Master, don't misunderstand meow, I'm just because Muyou saved me twice. He is in trouble now and I have to help him. It's definitely not because I'm greedy for the cat food comics and games here..." Cola hurriedly panicked He defended, his eyes wandering around.
Fuya rolled her eyes and ignored it. Instead, she looked at Mu You and asked, "Do you need me to go over and help?"
"There's no need for that." Mu You shook his head: "Besides, you probably won't be able to show much strength in the desert..."
"Desert, that's true..."
When Fuya heard about this place, she couldn't help but frown. Apparently she had experienced entering the desert before, and the experience was quite bad.
Next, the group set off directly.
Mu You first sent Fuya to the Imperial Capital, and then teleported to the desert with Lin Xue.
…
When the two arrived near the Red Rock Cliff in the center of the desert, more than a thousand followers of the Caesar Sect had already gathered near the Ghost Pillar Stone.
For these devout believers, today can be said to be the most important day in their lives. Everyone burns incense and bathes before coming, and they dress neatly before they dare to come.
Mu You did not show up in a hurry, but took Lin Xue to a sand dune in the distance.
Under a stretch of mountains behind Red Rock Cliff, hundreds of thousands of Azromar soldiers led by Evans are hiding here. Everyone is wearing light yellow robes, holding swords and shields, hiding in the sand. The ground is almost integrated with the yellow desert. If the two of them had not come close, it would be difficult to find anyone here just from a distance.
In addition to the army, there are manticores, bone dragons, and shadow wolves, all waiting here.
After Mu You and the others approached, Evans and Shadow Wolf hurriedly walked towards him.
But it was Pocket Toad who jumped on Mu You's shoulder first.
Frogzi stood on Mu You's shoulder, dancing excitedly, pointing to the red rock cliff in the distance from time to time, and telling about the depression of the past few days.
"Haha, don't worry, I will take you to rescue Bing Lanqing right away." Mu You comforted it with a smile.
At this time, Evans was already walking towards him. Mu You turned around and saw that this was the first time he saw the true appearance of the desert army commander in reality.
What surprised Mu You was that Evans was much younger than expected, and his skin color and body shape were not as dark and majestic as those of ordinary people in desert areas. Instead, they were fairer and thinner.
Of course, his fierce temperament and angular face like a knife all prove that he is not just a pretty boy, but a real iron-blooded warrior who kills from the battlefield with one sword.
"How are the preparations going?" Mu You asked.
Evans shook his head and said regretfully: "The time was too short, I only had time to find the Holy Light Mage, and urgently enchanted the soldiers' weapons with a little power of Holy Light to ensure that everyone's weapons could hurt the undead army, but the effect was very It’s hard to guarantee, and I’m afraid we’ll suffer a loss if we fight.”
At this time, the troubadour emerged from the oil lamp on Mu You's waist and appeared next to the two of them: "It's not just the weapons that are at a disadvantage? The most important thing is the quantity. Caesar's army is called a million-strong army, but it's not just a dozen like you." Ten thousand people can fight against it. When you really can’t defeat it, don’t resist forcefully. Just delay it for a while. These undead armies created with the magic pen are destined to be destroyed only with the magic pen!”
The troubadour reminded him out of good intentions, but when Evans heard this, he looked stern and said sternly: "Even if we are defeated, our soldiers will fight to the end, and we will definitely not let any undead leave to harm the desert. This is the inherent mission of our desert soldiers!"
Evans' words were impassioned.
Mu You looked down, and saw that the soldiers under the sand dunes were all like him, with serious expressions, and their eyes had a look of death.
Obviously, they did not put all their hopes on Mu You, and were already prepared for him to face Caesar's legion if he failed to get the magic pen.
"Hey, you guys are so stubborn. Forget it, I can't persuade you..." The troubadour looked helplessly at a group of soldiers who were ready to die, and waved his hands to stop trying to persuade them.
"It's almost time. Get ready. Everything will proceed according to the previously discussed plan." Mu You looked at the time and saw that it was almost noon. When the scorching sun above his head reaches its maximum, that is when the solar eclipse begins.
"May the Desert Goddess bless you!" Evans blessed Mu You with his hand on his forehead and chest.
Mu You nodded and returned the same courtesy to him. Although he does not believe in the Desert Goddess, the courage and spirit of these soldiers are still worthy of admiration.
A few minutes later, Mu You appeared alone at the foot of the red rock cliff, with only Coca-Cola and Frogzi with him.
When Cola first came to the desert, he was quite excited. It is said that all cats in the star world originated from the desert. For Cola, who set foot in the desert for the first time, he saw a large cat litter box in front of him, and he had a lot of fun digging and rolling in the sand. Very happy.
Unfortunately, it soon stopped being happy. When it followed Mu You and saw Evans and the mighty army below, Cola was so frightened that he tucked his tail between his legs, especially when the manticore was not far away from them. While he was lying lazily on the sand to rest, this unknown giant cat creature scared Coke so much that he shrank behind Mu You the whole time, not daring to take a breath.
"Your Majesty Bishop!"
When a group of believers in the distance saw Mu You appearing, they all hurriedly ran towards him.
Mu You took a look, and sure enough, each of these believers was holding a cat in their hands, sand cat, black cat, Garfield, Jin Jianlayer... there were all kinds of cats, and there was endless meowing at the scene.
Many of the new poop-catching officers were obviously raising cats for the first time. Most of them were feral cats and had no experience in controlling them. Their cats were running around all over the place, and the scene was chaotic.
Some of the cats quickly discovered the exotic species of Coke, and curiously got behind him to smell the chrysanthemums.
This move made Coke so excited that the hair all over his body exploded. He waved his paws at the surrounding cats and breathed warnings. At the same time, he couldn't help complaining to Mu You: "Meow, didn't you say you are traveling in the desert? Why is there an army? There are so many cats... What are we here for? Could it be that we are going to the battlefield..."
Mu You glanced at the Coca-Cola clenched at his feet and comforted: "Don't worry, even if there is a fight, you don't have to fight. You just stay with me and be a good mascot."
"Your Majesty Bishop!"
At this time, a bald bandit crossed the crowd and ran toward Muyou. He first glanced at the cat at Muyou's feet curiously, then approached Muyou and whispered in his ear: "Master Bishop, those troops from the Eldromar Empire , seems to be ambushing nearby now, what should we do? Will these people come out to attack us while we are rescuing Emperor Caesar? "
Mu You glanced at him, not too surprised that he could detect the presence of Evans and his group. After all, there were 100,000 people there, and no matter how hidden they were, there would be no trace left.
"Don't worry, Caesar has millions of soldiers. What does the opponent's mere 100,000 people count? When the Emperor is born, he will naturally lead an army of undead to conquer the desert!" Mu Youyou said.
"That's right, Emperor Caesar's army is the strongest!" The bald man felt relieved after Mu You's assurance, nodded in agreement, and then called on other believers to praise Caesar: "Long live Emperor Caesar!"
"Long live Caesar!"
…
The group of people suddenly started to shout enthusiastically again, which made Mu You's ears hurt. But he was now the leader of the group, so he could only pretend to shout a few words, while constantly paying attention to the time and the celestial phenomena.
Fortunately, the solar eclipse did not keep him waiting too long. About ten minutes later, a believer suddenly shouted: "Look at the sun!"
Everyone looked up.
Sure enough, at this time, a black gap appeared on the edge of the lower right corner of the round and scorching sun above the head, and it expanded rapidly over time.
All the believers immediately became quiet, looking at the sun like a pilgrim and praying devoutly.
After waiting like this for more than half an hour, the sun had been swallowed up by two-thirds of the darkness. The originally bright and dazzling desert became visibly dim, the temperature also dropped rapidly, and whirlwinds began to roll up on the sand.
Nearly twenty minutes passed, and the last ray of light from the sun was finally completely swallowed up by the shadow, leaving only a light blue halo in the sky.
The whole place under the red stone cliff was completely dark at this moment, as if it was dusk before the night came. A group of cats were frightened by this abnormal celestial phenomenon and ran around on the ground. They were hurriedly held down and held in their arms.
"Your Majesty Bishop, it's time to begin!"
Following the reminder from one of the believers, the other believers couldn't wait to look at Mu You.
The total solar eclipse will only last for a few minutes. During this period, the entrance to the divine realm must be opened, otherwise they will have to wait another month.
Mu You also nodded and took off the broken oil lamp from his waist.
Taking the oil lamp, a flame automatically lit up in the surrounding darkness.
This inconspicuous flame was like a small sun at the moment, projecting a dazzling brilliance that shone directly on the red stone cliff in front of it.
On the blood-red cliff, a scene similar to a mirage began to appear again.
The scene is still the green oasis from last time. The difference is that this time the scene quickly stabilized after a brief fluctuation, and gradually became solid from virtual to solid.
About a minute later, the entire cliff quietly disappeared, and on the empty sand in front, a square entrance stretching for dozens of miles appeared. From everyone's perspective, the entrance was filled with vegetation and Green mountains and green waters.
There was a sudden burst of joy at the scene: It was indeed a miracle lamp, and it had successfully opened the entrance to the divine realm!
"Hahaha……"
At this time, a thunderous laughter sounded inside the entrance, ringing in everyone's ears, causing everyone to become silent.
"After a thousand years, I, Caesar, am finally free!"
When they heard this voice claiming to be Caesar, all the believers were shocked and fell to their knees in a hurry. Some believers were even so devout that they almost fell to the ground.
In the oasis on the other side, a figure quietly appeared near the exit. Then his figure quickly grew in size, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a giant over forty meters tall with a faint blue body.
Through the curtain-shaped exit in front of him, Caesar had already seen a group of people kneeling in the sand opposite, and nodded with satisfaction.
He naturally understood that this was the group of believers he had met a few days ago. When he asked them to find the magic lamp, he just said it casually and did not hold out much hope. As a result, he did not expect that these people were really capable. In just a few days, the entrance was opened to him!
Caesar suddenly became energetic: Since they can open the entrance to the divine realm, it means that the magic lamp must be in their hands at this moment!
Thinking of this, Caesar suppressed his ecstasy and hurriedly stepped out with his giant body. No matter what, he wanted to get the most important artifact first.
However, when he reached the exit, before he could step out of the barrier, he suddenly heard a faint meow.
This made him tremble violently. There are no cats in the divine realm. He has not heard a similar sound for a long time, but hearing it suddenly at this moment instantly reminded him of the shadow that originated from the depths of his heart.
"Meow meow meow……"
Before Caesar could react, more meows began to sound one after another.
Caesar looked up in horror, and saw densely packed cats pouring in at the entrance in front of him. As if they had seen some delicious food, they rushed towards him, and one after another deftly jumped on his body. Everywhere, scratching and scratching without fear on his huge body.
"ah!"
The next second, a deafening scream sounded.
Like a woman crawled on by a group of rats, Caesar let out a piercing scream, shaking like chaff, and stepped back repeatedly. However, he accidentally tripped on a row of big trees behind him with his heel and lost his balance. , the huge body crashed to the ground.
Caesar, who fell to the ground, still didn't regain his composure. He still kept screaming, flailing his limbs, rolling and crawling back, until he escaped deep into the oasis where no one could see him, and then he stopped.
This strange scene made the group of believers outside look dumbfounded.
What's happening here?
Could it be that the rumor that Caesar was afraid of cats is true?
But, even if you are afraid of cats, you won’t be so afraid that you become such a coward, right?
Just seeing Caesar's behavior for the first time has caused many believers to begin to collapse...
"Asshole! Who did this?"
When everyone was confused, deep in the oasis, where Caesar disappeared just now, an angry roar suddenly came out again.
Caesar seemed to have finally driven away the scurrying cat, and the giant's body stood up again. After clearing his thoughts, what followed was incomparable anger.
Caesar strode towards the exit again, and landed in front of the exit with a leap, causing the surrounding ground to shake.
Seeing the giant veins all over his body, a group of outside believers had been frightened. They all huddled on the ground and shivered, not daring to move.
Caesar glanced at everyone, grabbed the person at the front, and raised him in front of him.
"Caesar, spare your life, we are your loyal believers..." The unlucky man who was caught hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Who asked you to bring the cat?"
The giant's roar at close range made the man dizzy and almost fainted. He hurriedly gathered his energy and replied: "Yes, the bishop. The bishop said that you like cats the most and that you are a cat slave. Let us each prepare one." Cat, we just..."
"bishop?"
"He is the spokesperson you chose..."
"Where is he!" Caesar asked through gritted teeth.
"have no idea……"
The man looked down hurriedly, but couldn't find Mu You: "It's strange, what was there just now suddenly disappeared..."
"What about the magic lamp?" Caesar didn't have time to pursue the blame in detail at this time, and hurriedly asked about the most important magic lamp.
"The magic lamp...is in the hands of the bishop..."
"What?"
"The magic lamp was found by the bishop, and it was the entrance that the bishop was responsible for opening just now..." the believer said hurriedly.
"Asshole!"
Caesar glared and roared again, already realizing that he had been deceived.
With the force of his palm, the believer he pinched didn't even have time to scream, and was crushed into a meat pie.
Caesar threw it away casually, then suddenly raised his hands high and shouted in a chant-like tone: "Awake, my warriors..."
Following his voice, large areas of soil suddenly began to loosen on the entire oasis land, and then hands stretched out from the ground, along with arms, heads, bodies...
In the midst of the stunned believers, countless undead soldiers emerged from the ground, holding standard swords and shields in their hands. They lined up on the ground layer by layer, with the sound of neat footsteps. resounded throughout the divine realm.
Caesar raised his head and glanced at the sky. The total solar eclipse had ended. The edge of the covered sun began to shine again, and with the emergence of sunlight, the exit in front was gradually becoming blurry.
"Generals, listen to the order! Completely dismantle this barrier for me!"
Caesar sneered and ordered.
A thousand years ago, he had no experience and was trapped here under the influence of the djinn god. In this thousand years, he has understood the mechanism of this barrier well, and now he will not give it to the other party a second time. Seal his chance.
Following his order, all the undead soldiers immediately began to charge, rushing to the exit in an orderly manner, surrounding the entire square exit from the inside out, and then began to attack the barrier in turn.
Under their attack, the exit that was supposed to shrink expanded outward little by little.
The entire oasis land was suddenly more clearly exposed in the desert.
