Qin Lang did not know the reason for the collective betrayal of the Spirit Protectors. Even the last Spirit Protector did not know the reason. Perhaps after Qin Lang destroyed the Art Sect, he would find some answers. At this moment, Qin Lang was heading toward the Art Sect's mountain gate.
The temperature was unbearably high.
The scariest thing in the desert was not the sun, but the hot sand under the sun. At noon, the temperature of the sand could almost reach 80 degrees. It was said that an egg placed in the sand could be roasted.
Under such temperature, almost no one would enter the desert, let alone travel under the scorching sun. This was an extremely cruel natural environment. If someone were to travel under such conditions, it was very likely that they would be roasted into a mummy by the scorching sun.
As one of the top cultivators in this world, of course, Qin Lang could withstand such an environment. For him, this environment was even a kind of enjoyment. Here, Qin Lang could feel absolute peace. This was the peace of being close to death.
Through the GPS, Qin Lang knew that he was beginning to approach the Lop Nor area. For ordinary people, this was the legendary forbidden zone of death.
For some reason, when approaching this place, Qin Lang was a little excited.
As he got closer to Lop Nor, Qin Lang suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Qin Lang's spiritual power sensed something. He extended his spiritual power and immediately knew that there was a military facility in front of him. To be precise, it was a hidden castle. Once Qin Lang approached this place, he was likely to be attacked. Qin Lang was not worried about the power of these weapons. He was worried about hurting the innocent. After all, they were all soldiers of Hua Xia.
After thinking for a while, Qin Lang called Old Man Bao and explained his current situation. Old Man Bao heard Qin Lang's words and was shocked. "Why are you going to that place? If you haven't entered it yet, then don't go in! Yes, there is a hidden castle there. However, the hidden castle does not stop people from entering, but it stops the things inside from coming out! "
"Stop the things inside from coming out?" Qin Lang actually laughed. "What exactly can come out of there? Could it be a monster? "
"This is related to state secrets —"
"Old Master, if you think it's inappropriate to tell me, that's fine too. I'll go in and take a look myself." Qin Lang didn't seem to care. After all, he had even been to those places in the Cultivation World. He didn't think that there was any place in this world that he didn't dare to go.
"Brat Qin! You can't joke about this! " Elder Bao's tone was so serious that Qin Lang had to take it seriously. "You should know where the nuclear explosions took place after our country was founded, right? Do you know why we chose this place? "
"Uh … this should really be a state secret."
"Yes, these things were top secret a few decades ago, but it doesn't matter now. At that time, we received some information saying that there were many strange things happening in this area … "
The strange things that Elder Bao mentioned were indeed strange. For example, a few decades ago, many people in the nearest village to Lop Nor suddenly went crazy because an ancient ruin appeared not far from the village. Then, someone brought back something from the ancient ruin. As a result, the entire village was almost destroyed. These people went crazy for no reason, and after that, they became violent and aggressive. In the end, the village disappeared, and the survivors left the place. The crazy people died here, and the things taken from the ancient ruin were also left here. They were regarded as cursed items by the locals, so no one touched them. So, naturally, they fell into the hands of the state. One of the items had such terrifying power that the news about it had to be sealed.
To be honest, Qin Lang's interest was piqued by Elder Bao. In the end, Qin Lang learned about this item — Pisces Jade Pendant. It sounded like an ordinary accessory, but when Qin Lang learned about the origin of this item, he was completely shocked. The Pisces Jade Pendant was not because it looked like a pisces, but because when it was experimented with a fish, it actually succeeded in "replicating" a fish that was exactly the same.
"Elder Bao, are you sure you're not telling me a story?" Qin Lang's interest was piqued. He knew what Elder Bao said could be explained by modern technology as cloning, but even with the most advanced cloning technology, it was impossible to create an identical living creature in an instant.
"If you're telling me a story, is this still a secret?" Elder Bao's interest was piqued, so he continued, "In addition, we found out that this item can't simply clone a fish —"
"You're not cloning people, are you?" Qin Lang felt that his imagination was not enough in front of the state machine.
"I can't answer this question because some of the experimental data has disappeared. You should be able to see that it was taken away by someone."
"The person who disappeared?" Qin Lang knew the person Elder Bao was talking about.
"Yes, we initially thought that this person was instigated by the Russians, but in the end, we checked through other channels and denied this result. In the end, we confirmed that this person really disappeared. You don't doubt our ability to search, do you?"
"I don't doubt it." Qin Lang shook his head. In that era, if the state wanted to dig three feet into the ground to find a person, the executors wouldn't dare to dig two feet into the ground. "So, you should have a conclusion about this question, right?"
"We found the person's last words. Before he disappeared, he left a sentence on the ground: This is just the beginning, it's not time yet."
"It sounds incredible. Weren't his last words' I'm going to find water 'or something like that?" Qin Lang purposely joked.
"That was made up by an idiot reporter at the time. We needed him to make up a similar story, but we didn't expect his story to be so stupid. You know, that person was the deputy director of the Provincial Academy of Sciences at that time. He went to this area dozens of times and went deep into Lop Nor. Find water to drink? Didn't he know that there was no water in that godforsaken place? What's more, it was against the rules for him to leave the expedition team alone. As someone who participated in the team many times, he didn't even understand the most basic rules. With their importance, as long as they sent out a signal, the military would immediately come to their rescue. But … in short, we only found out the truth a few years after he disappeared. "
"Truth? What truth? "Qin Lang was puzzled.
