Tewat's Me Undercover in Solstice Winter

"Yes, my lord."

"You guessed right."

Lilupal woke up at some point.

She said in a somewhat bleak voice, "It's all because of my sin that my child has become what it is today."

Lin Feng and the others frowned after hearing this.

Is Lirupal the one who drives the Zhenling in the Yuan Energy Construct?

Before they could ask, Lilupal said again: "My lord, the canyon ahead is the tunnel leading to the base of the Eternal Oasis. Be careful of threats from the ground."

"Sandworm?"

"Yes, my lord."

As soon as Lilupal's words fell, Lin Feng noticed the abnormal movement in the ground.

Then, Yura also sensed the threat from the sandworm.

But it's limited to threats.

The sandworm hovering nearby, Lin Feng just stomped his foot lightly, and then fled away at an extremely fast speed like a frightened bird.

"The children and grandchildren of Apepu, they have fallen to the point where they are now."

Lilupar also felt the panic of the sandworm, and couldn't help sighing.

"Apep?"

Lin Feng seemed to have heard this name somewhere, and it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

He thought about it carefully, but still couldn't remember it.

Facing Lin Feng's doubts, Lilupal simply stopped talking, and even the bottle that had just been lit went dark again.

"."

"Is this a taboo name?"

"The Red King's real name?"

"its not right."

"The Red King's real name is Amon. This has been certified by the Ice Queen herself. There can be no mistake."

"And who is Apep?"

"Could it be another demon god who fell in the desert?"

Lin Feng stared at Lilupal for a while, and seeing that she was still pretending to be asleep, he shook his head and put the question to the back of his mind.

Sandworms are no strangers to him.

Not to mention that he had crushed several of them to death in the desert before.

Even the Tanit tribe has a team of hunters who specialize in hunting sandworms.

In their terms.

Sandworms are full of treasures.

Sandworm Chrysalis is a favorite item used by hunters as a scent marker to avoid getting lost in deep caves or intricate ruins.

The body fat of adult sandworms is extracted and is a very popular spice in rainforest areas.

Unlike the desert people who need to keep their body smelling the same as the desert at all times, the people of Sumeru City especially like the strong and spicy spice, and are very willing to pay a high price for it. They can also use this spice to barter for some tribes. useful stuff.

In addition, hunting sandworms is not a dangerous job.

Over time, this has become a very important item for the Tanit tribe.

Such a creature that can only pose a threat to ordinary people is unlikely to be the heir of a god no matter how you think about it.

Sandworm issues aside.

Lin Feng and the others continued to move forward.

The closer it is to the Grand Canyon that Lilupal mentioned, the more monsters will appear here.

At the same time, more and more human skeletons appeared here.

Such a deserted atmosphere.

Ke Lai's eyelids twitched, he couldn't help but hide behind Yula, clutching her clothes tightly and not daring to let go, only daring to take a peek outside from time to time.

Most of the monsters lingering on this necessary road are mushroom beasts.

It looks like mushrooms have become fine.

But unfortunately, can not eat.

Lin Feng didn't bother to kill them, so he simply mobilized the power of the demon god and used the terrifying aura of the demon god to scare them all away.

that's it.

They came to the Grand Canyon unimpeded all the way.

This time, what stood in front of them was no longer sandworms and monsters, but a sandstorm that covered the entire canyon.

Unlike the storms blowing on the wide plains, the storms in the canyon are obviously stronger and more violent.

The howling and whimpering roars were also mixed with the soul-stirring roars of beasts.

"This is a little troublesome."

Lin Feng spread his hands.

He can expel monsters, kill mercenaries who block the road and rob, and can handle many things, but he has nothing to do with this kind of natural disaster.

This is not something that can be solved by manpower.

Even though the sandstorm was no threat to him and Yura, as mentioned before, they didn't like the feeling of being covered in dust after a sandstorm.

"The sandstorm won't last long anyway, let's wait outside for a while."

Yura suggested, and by the way, looked around to see if there was a cave where she could rest.

at this time.

Lilupal, who had pretended to be asleep for a long time, spoke again: "Don't worry, my lord, I will protect you to pass here safely."

"Are you awake?"

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and joked.

Lilupal didn't show any embarrassment, and said in a normal tone: "Well, I woke up, and now my strength is enough to protect my adults and you to pass through this sandstorm area."

talking.

The light on Lilupal's body shone brighter and turned into a thin light curtain in an instant, covering Lin Feng and the three of them together.

The wind and sand raging in the Grand Canyon will dissipate immediately when they encounter this light curtain, and they cannot get closer to Lin Feng and the others.

"It's amazing."

Ke Lai reached out his hand curiously and poked the light curtain.

Different from the substantial light curtain in her imagination, she stretched out her finger, and immediately let out a sigh: "Hey, this is really a light."

"Otherwise, the desert—"

"Ok?"

Lilupal was about to scold Kelai habitually, but was stopped by Lin Feng's stern eyes.

She had to change her words: "Hmph, ignorance, this is the power bestowed on me by the great master of flowers. Naturally, mortals like you can't understand it."

A little more polite, but not much.

Lin Feng didn't correct her tone anymore.

When she left the Tanit tribe before, Lilupal had talked about her entanglements with the desert people.

Especially when it comes to Ormaz who betrayed the oath, the gorgeous golden petals in her bottle turned into a dazzling crimson.

And she herself was once the queen of Jule City.

Whether it is the family of the flower god, the servant of the Red King, or the status of the queen of Juer City later, these are enough to give her a natural sense of superiority over the desert people.

It's only natural to look down on Ke Lai.

Lin Feng has done his best to make her stop scolding Ke Lai for nothing, but he can't let her change her mind overnight and completely change her contempt for the desert people in her bones.

With Lirupar's protection.

Lin Feng and the others passed through the sandstorm smoothly and came to the base tunnel mentioned by Asarig.

And just got here.

The first thing that came into view was a few tents that were broken and crumbling, and then there were a few corpses that had just died and their bodies were still fresh. A few wild beasts that came out of nowhere were biting these corpses, gnawing them all over the place. There were potholes, and the internal organs flowed all over the place.

"A spy from the Tanit tribe."

Looking at their clothes and the tent construction style, Lin Feng could tell the identities of these corpses at a glance.

Lilupal floated in the sky and mocked: "Greedy and ignorant human beings who tried to break into the garden of the great master are now reaping the consequences of themselves."

Yula and Ke Lai looked a little disgusted, turned their heads aside, and stopped looking at the tent.

On the way.

There are not a few camps like this, and one can be seen almost every few hundred meters.

Without exception.

These are abandoned camps.

Out of curiosity, Lin Feng opened a tent in the camp.

How to describe it.

The inside is very clean, so clean that even the mice will cry when they come.

However, Lin Feng's eyesight was very good, and he could see what seemed to be buried under the yellow sand at a glance.

With a wave of his hand, there was a gust of wind that blew away the dust covering it, revealing a book with an ordinary skin.

This is the record of the Tanit tribal exploration team along the way.

Lin Feng flipped through it casually, and he roughly understood what happened here.

Briefly summarize.

That is, the people of the Tanit tribe came here to find the way to the eternal oasis under the order of Babel, who was still an elder at that time.

At the beginning.

The members of the exploration team were indeed full of enthusiasm and vitality under Babel's passionate speech and painting.

But the monsters and sandworms hovering here don't welcome them very much.

As time went on, the exploration team suffered heavy losses.

Worse.

Due to a sudden and long-lasting storm in the canyon, the only transportation channel was cut off.

In this way, the team that ran out of supplies had to take risks to hunt in the storm.

However, none of the hunting teams sent out came back.

The expedition team, who lacked food and drink, had to slaughter the pack beasts for transportation, and even captured monsters in the canyon to eat.

But the flesh and blood of monsters is something that ordinary people can eat.

These Tanit people who ate the flesh and blood of the monsters died in frenzy soon.

No food, no water, no way home.

The rest of the exploration team had to bite the bullet and move on.

Give the hope of survival to the legendary mistress of the oasis.

Recorded up to this time.

Lin Feng could already empathize with the changes in the mentality of these Tanit people.

at first.

What is written on the record is, 【His Majesty the Flower God, may you bless our trip smoothly. 】

after that.

The end of the record became, [Your Majesty the Flower God, if you are still alive, please answer the prayers of the abandoned, and may our souls return to the Eternal Oasis safely. 】

Wait until the end of this record.

The records turned into some extremely crazy big characters, [How can there be a flower god!How can there be any eternal oasis!It's all lies!All liars!Babel!Damn you! 】

"Hmph, it fits my stereotype of a desert slave."

Li Lupal, who watched the record with Lin Feng the whole time, complained precisely.

Yura also shook her head.

Only Ke Lai, who looked at the words for a long time but couldn't recognize them, asked in confusion, "Master Lin Feng, what is written on it?"

"Go, go, children, don't ask questions."

Lin Feng smashed the report into pieces very simply, and let the pieces fly all over the sky like snowflakes.

"Humph."

Ke Lai pursed his lips and snorted unhappily.

Although there is nothing worthy of attention in this record.

But Lin Feng still saw some things that need to be paid attention to. For example, there is no water here, and there is no bark and grass roots that can be used to feed the hunger. Simply put, there is no food or drink, and it is like a desert outside. Same bad weather.

Take Lin Feng and Yula's physique as an example.

It's not a big deal.

But this is very troublesome for Ke Lai.

Lin Feng checked the food and drinking water he was carrying with him, it wasn't too much, and roughly estimated, it would be enough for five or six days.

So, count in and out time.

In other words.

He only has about two or three days to explore the passage into the eternal oasis.

"Let's go, speed up, we can't waste any more time."

Lin Feng turned his head and said a word, and then walked ahead to open the way.

This tunnel is extremely dark and deep, and it is inserted obliquely into the ground.

The further you go down, the darker the tunnel becomes. Only by relying on the luminous spar on the rock wall can you barely see the way forward.

Lin Feng made a torch out of fire elements and held it in his hand as a lighting lamp.

The problem of light was solved, but as it got deeper, the air in the tunnel became more and more turbid, the smell of mud, the smell of rotting corpses, and the stench caused by the excrement released by the monsters, all of which made Ke Lai gasp. It's getting heavier.

With her body that has just recovered, it is really unbearable to stay in such an environment for a long time.

see.

Lilupal sighed, and once again unfolded the light curtain that he used to pass through the sandstorm.

With the protection of this light curtain.

The air became much fresher in an instant, and Ke Lai was finally able to breathe normally.

"Thank you, thank you."

Lilupal, who had always been tired of him, suddenly offered a helping hand, and Kelai hurriedly thanked him.

"If you want to thank me, thank my lord, otherwise I won't bother to pay attention to a deserter."

Lilupal was still as arrogant as ever, and didn't appreciate Kelai's thanks at all.

There is no sunlight in the tunnel, and it is impossible to tell the time.

Lin Feng only knew that after walking for a long time, the monsters along the way were scared away by his breath, but a few hungry beasts dared to attack them.

It's just that such an overreaching behavior turned them all into reserve food in Lin Feng's package.

Along the way, many more records of the Tanit Expedition were found.

Similar to the previous record, it was all full of confidence at the beginning, then despaired, and then went completely mad, and even clamored to kill back to the tribe and let Babel, a woman full of lies, use her head to atone for her sins.

At the end of the tunnel, Lin Feng and the others finally found a huge relic buried in the sand.

Lilupar floated quietly above the ruins.

After a long time, she said: "My lord, have you seen it?"

"This place used to be a verdant paradise, but now the luxurious clear spring in the desert flows here like a gurgling, nourishing the land of Jule City."

"It's just that now, they've all been replaced by quicksand."

"And if you want to open up the road to the Eternal Oasis, you must activate the mechanism here to remove all the quicksand that gets in the way."

"Come on, my lord, let's start. I will lead the way for you, and I promise that there will be no omissions."
