after all.
Not all countries have a maritime partner like China that can help control foreign organisms in the sea.
Jin Shile thought about it and it made sense.
It’s a pity that they finally found the town, but ended up finding nothing there, not even a sip of water.
"Oh, what a big loss--" he said in a long voice.
Mai Xuan's fingers gently stroked the slightly old map, and his eyes flashed with an unprecedented light.
He seemed to be having a silent conversation with the ancient paper, and every detail was carefully captured by him.
"It's not completely fruitless." Mai Xuan pointed at the scroll fragments and said,
"Look, the outline of the mountains on this map is surprisingly similar to the vaguely visible landforms on the map!"
"The recent terrain seems to overlap with the terrain on the map. We are heading in the right direction."
"Maybe if we walk a little further, we can reach the place marked on the map!"
"Our persistence has not been in vain. We are on the right track and the dawn of victory is not far ahead."
"What are we waiting for? Let's set off!" Jin Shile regained his spirits.
The edge where the vast desert and the magnificent ocean intertwine.
The scorching sun distorted the air.
Every inch of land exudes suffocating heat.
Coupled with the deserted town, it seems as if this is a corner forgotten by the world.
Feng Feng and the other two were quietly preparing to evacuate this barren land.
Their figures stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, appearing particularly lonely and determined.
However, just as they left the town limits.
An unusual sound of water broke the tranquility of the shore, like the sudden dawn of light in the dark night, attracting people's attention.
The three of them stopped at the same time, their eyes meeting with surprise and suspicion.
They exchanged a quick glance and tacitly hid in a dilapidated but hidden fishing house not far away.
My heart was beating like a drum and I was nervously watching every movement outside.
soon.
Two figures rose from the waves.
One in front and one behind, their movements are so agile, just like a dragon coming ashore from the sea, showing their extraordinary ability.
The former is a handsome girl dressed in neutral clothes, with short hair fluttering in the wind and eyes as sharp as an eagle;
The latter was an old man with white hair and beard. Although he was old, his steps were steady.
Both of them wore high-tech oxygen masks, obviously prepared for the harsh environment of this mysterious sea area.
"An old man and a beautiful woman, what kind of combination is this?"
Jin Shile lowered his voice, frowned, and the doubts in his heart surged like a sandstorm in the desert.
This combination appearing on the edge of this desolate desert is even more incredible than a mirage!
Feng Feng pondered for a moment, his eyes deep: "No, they are definitely not as simple as they seem!"
"Looking at their skills, they are definitely not ordinary people. Moreover, I dare to conclude that their current appearance is a disguise after taking the Disguise Pill!"
He could feel the surging vitality in the other person!
That's not something an old man and an ordinary woman can have!
I guess there was no one around and they just came out of the sea.
They didn't try to create a complete disguise.
If you look closely, it is very easy to see the flaws!
Mai Xuan took over the conversation, his voice a bit solemn:
"Could it be someone from the church or wizards? Or some other unknown force?"
"According to the information we just investigated, this place should have been completely abandoned!"
Feng Feng shook his head and denied Mai Xuan's guess.
"Impossible. Except for us, everyone who came here through that ancient teleportation array was alone. There couldn't be a two-person group."
Jin Shile was thoughtful:
"So, if the whole town has moved away, what are they doing here? Why are they here?"
"Could it be that he heard some rumors and came here on his own to explore the secrets of the Red Sea?"
He looked around and saw that the once prosperous town had become a ruin, with only wind, sand and loneliness remaining.
Mai Xuan carefully observed the two's actions and deduced:
"From the calmness with which they came ashore and the degree of wear and tear on their oxygen masks,"
"They have been active in this sea area for at least a day, and they seem to be looking for something?"
Feng Feng took over the topic with a little more certainty in his tone.
"That's right, and their target is probably on the bottom of the sea."
Jin Shile asked doubtfully:
"But what could possibly attract them in the sea? Sharks? Deep-sea monsters? Unknown foreign creatures? Or perhaps..."
Mai Xuan reminded: "Don't forget what we are here for?"
Jin Shile suddenly woke up, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"The artifact! They're here for the artifact too!"
Mai Xuan nodded, a serious look in his eyes.
"It's very likely that the artifact is really nearby, so it's showing some unusual behavior."
"Perhaps it was these visions that were discovered by them, attracting their attention and causing them to mistakenly believe that these were some kind of extraordinary props."
"So I looked for the artifact as if it were an ordinary supernatural item."
Jin Shile couldn't help but gasp: "Won't those people in the church become a joke?"
"I painstakingly prepared for eight months, completing that complex sacrificial formation, just to teleport here, but someone else already got the artifact!"
Feng Feng shook his head and reminded:
"Not necessarily. Things may not be that simple. Isn't there a scroll in the secret room?"
"The scroll fragments in our hands may be the key to unlocking the true secrets of the artifact."
"Without it, even if you find the artifact, you won't be able to use its power."
Just as the three of them were discussing.
A cold and majestic voice came from the coast, as cold as ice, freezing the air in an instant.
“Who’s there!”
The lady who looked like a queen had actually noticed their presence.
His eyes were as sharp as torches, heading straight towards the fishing house.
The sea breeze howled, carrying a bit of uneasiness and uncertainty, hitting the rocks on the shore, making a dull echo.
This sudden shout was like a bolt from the blue.
Mai Xuan, Jin Shile and Feng Feng were all terrified, as if they were tightly bound by invisible chains and unable to move.
Mai Xuan quickly came to his senses. He lowered his voice and tried to soothe others with a calm voice.
"Don't be afraid. She might just be bluffing to force us to show ourselves."
However.
Before he finished speaking, a dazzling light streaked across the sky.
A pale golden sword pierced through the window of the fishing house like lightning and stuck firmly into the wooden board.
It was only a palm's distance away from Mai Xuan's head.
The tip of the sword flashed with cold light, revealing a heart-pounding power.
Jin Shile's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Mai Xuan in disbelief.
"Bluffer? This..."
Mai Xuan's throat rolled and he swallowed hard.
"I…I said it was an estimate."
