Chapter 649: Hat City
Zhou Wen suddenly felt something was wrong in his hand. He looked down and saw that the notebooks in his hand were turning into ashes as if they were burned by invisible flames.
"Oh no." Zhou Wen immediately realized that these notebooks had been destroyed with Chu He's death. What Chu He gave him was also something that could not be tolerated in this world.
While the notebook was still not completely reduced to ashes, Zhou Wen flipped through a few pages, but before he could read much of the content, all the information had turned to ashes and was blown away by the desert wind, leaving no trace.
"It feels like a dream. I didn't expect that I, Liuyun, would go to the underworld and come back alive. It's such a great luck." Liuyun said with lingering fear.
"Don't think about those things for now. Just take a look and see if you can tell where this place is. Can you still find the way to the endless sea of stars?" Zhou Wen perked up and said while looking around.
There was yellow sand all around, and as far as the eye could see was the endless desert. Zhou Wen couldn't even tell the direction.
"No problem, leave it to me. But do you really want to go to the Endless Starry Sea? We seem to be a little too unlucky. I'm afraid something else will happen..." Liuyun glanced at the bamboo sword on Zhou Wen's waist, then threw the blue sword back to Zhou Wen. He didn't want to carry this thing with him for a moment.
"Just because I'm unlucky, do I have to stay at home all day and not go out? What's the point of living like that?" Zhou Wen said as he took the blue knife.
"That's true. Okay, let's keep going." Liuyun didn't say anything else. He looked around and summoned his companion pet to dig a deep hole, as if he was observing the sand or something else.
No one knew how Liuyun determined the location. While leading the way, he observed the plants and sand in the desert, and then slowly adjusted the direction.
The desert is already vast and boundless, and it has become even more vast after the dimensional storm. Even an epic-level strongman would be trapped to death if he does not know the way.
Fortunately, Zhou Wen brought a lot of water and food, so he didn't have to worry about being trapped to death in the desert.
After walking and stopping for a while, on the fourth day, an oasis appeared in front of us.
"We're here." Liuyun pointed at the oasis and shouted happily.
"Is that oasis the endless sea of stars?" Zhou Wen asked in surprise.
"No, that oasis is where I usually replenish my water. But once we get here, we're not far from the endless sea of stars. It will take at most two days to get there." Liuyun said.
Zhou Wen was a little amused. There was plenty of pure water in his chaotic space, so there was no need to go to the oasis to replenish it.
However, Zhou Wen did not tell Liuyun about the Chaos Pearl. He took water from his backpack. Liuyun naturally didn't know about this. He lived frugally along the way and only quenched his thirst with a small sip of water when he was very thirsty.
This oasis is home to many plants that Zhou Wen doesn't recognize. It's a kind of tree, but it also looks like some kind of grass with thick roots and stems, and it looks very strange.
What surprised Zhou Wen even more was that there was actually a city in that oasis.
But the city was very simple, and the walls were made of sand, which looked a bit like a rough version of concrete.
"This is Maoer City. Legend has it that it was built by residents of the desert in the past. Back then, there was an abundant water supply here. However, as the water supply gradually dwindled, many residents left Maoer City, leaving it gradually deserted. I heard from the elders in the desert that at its peak, Maoer City could accommodate tens of thousands of people. However, now that the water supply has dwindled and the oasis has shrunk, most of the buildings have been buried under the yellow sand. Coupled with the arrival of the dimensional storm, there is no one here anymore. Aside from a few desert guides who occasionally come here to refill the water supply, you can usually hardly see a soul."
As they were talking, Liuyun had already brought Zhou Wen into Maoer City.
As Liuyun said, many of the buildings here are half buried in the yellow sand.
These buildings should all be made of local materials, using yellow sand mixed with something unknown to create a material similar to concrete.
Not long after entering the city, Zhou Wen saw a huge black monster. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a black cube.
"There is a black cube in Maoer City?" Zhou Wen was a little surprised.
"What's so strange about this? There are black cubes in many human ruins." Liuyun said disapprovingly and walked towards the well in the oasis.
The well in the desert is more like a cellar, with stairs leading down and a pool of water deep inside.
However, the water in the pool didn't look very clean. Liuyun excitedly poured water into the water bag. Zhou Wen stood still because he didn't want to drink the water.
"Why don't you fill up some water? In the desert, water is life. You can lack anything except water." Liuyun said to Zhou Wen.
"Isn't it enough if you have water?" Zhou Wen said, and then he came out of the well and wanted to take a walk around Maoer City.
But as soon as I got out of the well, I saw that the black cube had lit up, and the screen was showing a scene of two companion pets fighting.
One of them was a giant with a golden body, and the other companion pet was the Yamata no Orochi that Zhou Wen had seen before.
The golden giant roared like a god of war, and each of his punches burst out with a light as dazzling as the sun. The eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi spewed out energy of various attributes, but it was unable to stop the golden giant's attack.
However, its eight tails lashed out, and it fought the golden giant on equal terms.
The collision of the fist and the snake's tail produced a sound of metal clashing, and sent out terrifying shock waves and sparks, as if divine weapons were colliding.
The golden giant seemed to have some advantages, but it was not enough to kill the Yamata no Orochi.
Zhou Wen watched for a while and found something strange. The Yamata no Orochi had eight heads and eight tails, but when it was fighting with the golden giant, one of its tails was always close to the ground. The other seven tails had fought with the golden giant, but that tail was the only one that had never come into contact with the golden giant.
Just as Zhou Wen was thinking, he suddenly saw the golden giant's fists suddenly collide with each other, and the collision produced a little golden aurora.
The golden giant grabbed the aurora with one hand, and it turned into a giant blade of light, which slashed towards the body of the Yamata no Orochi. Its power was far greater than the previous attack. It was most likely the power of the golden giant's wheel of destiny, which wanted to end the battle.
At this moment, Zhou Wen saw that the tail of the Yamata no Orochi, which had not participated in the battle, moved. It twitched as quickly as a rattlesnake's tail and slashed out with unparalleled sword light.
when!
The golden giant's shining giant blade was cut off by the sword light, and a long scar was cut on his body, almost across his entire chest. He was almost killed.
Fortunately, its physique was indeed strong, so it was not cut into two pieces. However, it had no fighting power left, so its owner admitted defeat and summoned it back.
