The Whispering Verses Chapter 2278: Bone Pit
Chapter 2278 Bone Pit
The wall, which was strong enough to withstand the sun, wind, sand and time, turned into soft mud in Shade's hands.
He reached into the mud and quickly pulled out a roll of parchment. Because it was completely sealed inside the wall and cut off the air, the parchment was well preserved. Although the ink faded a bit after being exposed to the air, the content inside could still be identified.
Xia De still chose to turn it into a toy. As for the dirty mud-stained hands, water was precious, so he rubbed it on the wall a few times, then bent down and buried his hands in the sand to wash them. Hands become clean.
The light brown skin faced the sun, showing the fitness and health of the body. Miss Meister continued to lead the way, so under an overturned stone fountain on the outside of the ruins, Shade found another buried mouth. box.
Because the metal box is rusty and has a rough surface, you will feel pain if you touch it with your hands. The box itself was of little value, and the lock had long been damaged by time. The parchment inside could probably only be used as fuel.
But there was something wrapped in a red rag at the bottom of the box. When Shade opened it, he found a piece of black metal inside.
The approximate shape is one third of a round cake with some rough notches on the surface. This piece of metal itself is not ordinary, because the cold metal is the only item found in the ruins so far that cannot be turned into a toy by [Toy Manufacturing].
"Go back, there is nothing else interesting here."
After Shade turned the box that was probably useless into a toy and put it away, the lady standing behind him spoke.
Shad didn't ask to walk around here any more. In fact, he was already so hot that he felt dizzy. No matter how useful the blessing of the sun was, it would never make Shade completely immune to the environmental damage of this sea of sand.
He misses the shade in the temple now, and wants to find a place to sit down and rest.
"Do you need a drink of water?"
When he took out the supplies that Miss Knight gave him, he did not forget to ask the light brown-skinned lady first. After the other party shook her head in rejection, he drank the entire liquid in the water bottle:
"Let's go back, I never knew I hated summer so much."
Coming and leaving empty-handed, the ruins gradually disappeared behind the two of them. Even after drinking water, Shade still didn't take a few steps, and could only follow the light brown-skinned lady with heavy breathing.
The spatial confusion in this desert was indeed serious. Although he was not completely disoriented, even he could not tell where they came from just now.
The ten minutes when I arrived felt very short, but after my physical condition declined and I walked back again, the time seemed extremely long.
The **** was walking in front with his bare feet. The hot golden sand surface made Shade, who was still half a body behind, feel like he could even smell the smell of those bare feet being steamed by the heat. He confessed in his heart. This thought, but the heat that had nowhere to hide really made his head less obedient.
But soon, most of those inappropriate and charming thoughts disappeared. Shade, who drank a bottle of water again, just wanted to go back to the temple, lie on a chair or on the ground quietly and do nothing.
Of course, it would be even better if you could go back home directly, sit at the dining table to have breakfast with Miss Carina, Luvia and Lesia, and then touch little Mia.
"You seem to be thinking wildly."
The voice of the **** came to his ears, and Shade, who was breathing heavily, said "Hmm~", lowered his head and watched the sweat beads sliding down his cheeks, and evaporated before landing on the sand:
"Yes, but I dare to swear that some of the things I just thought about were definitely not my voluntary imagination."
The light brown-skinned lady seemed to smile:
"I want to remind you that this is a very dangerous behavior. Whether you are in the desert or in the fog, once you start to have random thoughts when your physical and mental state declines, the possibility of walking out of the desert or leaving the fog will be reduced. became lower."
As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Shade's current state with great interest:
"You can ask me for help if you need it."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I won't use it for the time being."
Xia De shook his head:
"Although the sun is hot and the rays are melting my skin, I can feel that my body is absorbing the power of the sun and the rays. This may be an illusion caused by my body temperature rising too fast because I am dizzy from the heat, but It should be okay if you persist. If you encounter difficulties and try to retreat as soon as possible, the road ahead will become even more difficult. ”
The light brown-skinned lady continued to smile:
"When I met you just now, I knew that you fit my temperament. Then keep persisting. If you haven't asked me for any help before you help them find the Heart of the Oasis - no questions asked Forget it, then at the end, I will give you a gift."
"Thank you. Did I get dizzy from the heat and finally hallucinate? How did I see Granny Siam appearing on the sand dunes in front of me?"
Of course Shade had no hallucinations. It was indeed the old elf from the Yuexi clan who came to greet them.
The bright sun made it difficult for everyone to open their eyes, but this old thirteenth-level witch also saw them at the same time.
Grandma Siam Nord did not waste her energy and walked over to join them. Instead, she waved her arms. After confirming that Shade had also seen her, she waited for the two to come.
Soon the three of them came together, and the God of Mist in the form of a saint transformed into "Miss Meister" again. Of course, ?'s appearance and temperament have not actually changed, but Shade told himself in his heart that there is no **** here now.
Because of the protection of the [Eternal Youth Leaf], Granny Siam seemed to be in good condition, and even gave Shade a little support after seeing him. It was probably the influence of the gods. She had no doubts at all about why Miss Meister looked completely fine, while Shade looked like he was about to be out of breath:
"Child, hold my hand."
She said to Sha De. After grabbing Sha De's hand, some cool green breath penetrated into Sha De's arm. Although Xia De didn't feel any cooler, his heatstroke-like feeling was relieved a lot:
"Thank you, I probably really need to rest."
He thanked him softly:
"Mother-in-law, how far is it from the temple?"
"It's very close. I feel like I haven't been out for too long. Let's go back quickly and hold on for a while, kid. The temple is right in front."
The elf mother-in-law, whose face was full of wrinkles, looked really worried about Shade. When he was preparing to lead the way, he took the initiative to give him his crutches.
When he first arrived at the temple, Shade knew that the crutch was a relic, and the danger level was definitely not low. But he felt that he could hold on for a while, so he let Granny Siam use the crutches:
"When I get home soon, I must lie down on the floor first to let the skin all over my body cool down. Unfortunately, No. 6 St. Teresa Square has a wooden floor, not the tile floor in my hometown, otherwise it will be cooler if I stick it on it. ."
A very simple wish came into his heart, and "she" smiled softly in Shade's ear.
The team of two became three, and the sun above their heads was still so hot. In fact, after arriving in this desert, Shade did not carefully observe what the hot thing in the sky was because the sunlight was too dazzling.
When he followed Granny Siam and Miss Meister back to the temple, when this sudden thought occurred, he squinted and tried to raise his head to look at the sky:
"Oh~"
I groaned and immediately covered my eyes. Tears flowed from my eyes in severe pain, but what I just saw was a glowing sun-like thing.
"Silly boy, how dare you look at the sun?"
As Shade covered his eyes, he heard the helpless voice of the old elf. Then he felt that he was being supported by someone, and the person who supported him was obviously not Siam Nord's mother-in-law who was walking at the front:
"Let Miss Meister hold you up first. Don't worry, this is not permanent blindness. You will be able to see clearly again in a while."
"Mother-in-law, I just need to support Mr. Hamilton."
The lady next to Shade said, and Shade, who felt that his whole body was stiff, had no choice but to continue moving forward with his eyes closed with the help of Miss Meister.
The brief blindness ended quickly as expected, and Shade politely thanked her and moved slightly away from the light brown-skinned lady. No matter how much he looks like a human being, he is still a real god. Foreigners have been in this world for a short time and know what God means to people.
While thinking wildly, Siam Nord's mother-in-law suddenly stopped. Shade thought she had seen the temple, but when she looked up, she saw dozens of white bones lying on the bright sand illuminated by the sun.
"What's going on? Were these things on the way here just now?"
There is no need to worry about the resurgence of the undead in this level of sunshine, so the three of them quickly walked forward to check the situation. Shade could tell almost at a glance that these bones belonged to elves. He knew from the knowledge of elves that there were some differences between elven bones and human beings.
What Xia De can see, Granny Siam Nord can obviously see too. She knelt down next to a skeleton, and then picked up a necklace from the neck of the skeleton with trembling arms.
"this"
Then she came to another skeleton and examined the scars on its right leg bone. Just as he was about to continue checking other bones, he heard Shade say:
"There are more here! There are many more!"
To continue moving forward on this piece of sand, you have to slide down the sand dune to continue moving forward. When Shade stood on the edge of the sand dune and looked down, what he saw was a sand pit that was almost filled with bones.
While surprised, he also saw more details. The white bones that can be caught with the eyes are all the remains of elves. At the same time, the posture of those bones clearly showed that they died in struggle and fear.
Grandma Siam Nord and Miss Meister also came to Shade on the edge of the dune and looked down. The latter said softly:
"It's really amazing."
