Fangzheng felt that he had traveled everywhere in this world without doing anything. The sea, the swamp, the Antarctic, and now the desert … Well, if there weren't any alien creatures around, this would indeed look like a honeymoon trip with the little angel.
But the desert was really not fun.
"It's so boring, Master."
Nimf swung her legs and sat on Fangzheng's knees. Fangzheng also yawned.
"It's really boring … Sigh, bear with it. This isn't the Antarctic after all …"
To be honest, at least there were penguins and seals to play in the Antarctic, but there was nothing in the desert. Although the workers and explorers were in full swing, it was boring for Fangzheng. Nimf was also bored. After all, there was nothing to see in the yellow sand. If they went out, they would only see sand all over their faces. Besides, Fangzheng could not use magic in this world, nor could he summon the Wizard's Mansion to go fishing.
By the way, when the old man saw Fangzheng, he hid as far away as possible like a mouse seeing a cat. Fangzheng did not think much of it. Perhaps for the old man, his voice was enough to change his life, but for Fangzheng, it was just a few words.
Just when everyone was bored to death playing chess, Nimfu suddenly raised her head.
"Master, the old man has left the camp."
"Oh?"
Fangzheng perked up when he heard that.
"Is he alone?"
"No, there's someone else."
"Come on, let's go out and take a look."
Since they had nothing to do, the explorers spent the whole day instructing the workers to dig out some stone statue. Fangzheng was not interested in that, unless they could dig out a mummy, there was nothing else they could do … But now, the old man had actually left the camp in the middle of the night?
He's probably going out for a walk.
With that thought in mind, Fangzheng slipped out of the tent with Nimf and quietly followed behind.
Soon, under the moonlight, Fangzheng found the old man's figure without much effort. The old man was staggering in the desert, as if he was bewitched by something. Beside the old man was a young man who seemed to be an assistant sent by Miskatonic University. The young man was whispering something to the old man.
It's not Professor Allen.
Fangzheng frowned. The old man's mental state was very unstable. Fangzheng originally thought that the person accompanying the old man would be Professor Allen, but he did not expect it to be a young assistant professor … Is there going to be a murder?
I'm thinking too much. I'm in the Cthulhu world, not Detective Conan world. Why would there be so many murders?
In short, let's go and take a look first.
The two of them walked into the depths of the desert one after another. The old man seemed to be walking aimlessly, but he seemed to be attracted by something as he stumbled forward. Not long after, he and the young man came to the hinterland of the desert. In the hinterland of the desert, they could clearly see some windowless rectangular black buildings buried in the sand. They looked like stones, and there was nothing except for a few entrances that were almost filled with sand.
The young man held the old man, smiled, and stretched out his hand to say something to the front. The old man screamed and waved the flashlight in his hand as if he wanted to leave. However, the young man held the old man's arm tightly and continued to whisper in his ear. After a while, the old man finally calmed down. He began to mutter to himself again and revealed his previous fanatical state. He broke free from the young man's grasp and crawled towards the top of the ruins with his hands and feet.
At that moment, Fangzheng finally saw the young man beside the old man.
"Hmm?"
With the help of the moonlight, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up the young man. He was a dark-skinned black man with a bald head. He wore a black suit and a trench coat, and there was a faint smile on his face. But Fangzheng was sure that he had never seen this man in the Miskatonic University expedition team before ….
"Nimf."
"What's the matter? Master? "
"Count the number of people in the expedition team immediately."
"Yes …."
Hearing Fangzheng's order, Nimf's eyes immediately began to flicker. After a while, she quickly gave an answer.
"Master, the number of members in the camp should be forty-nine, but there are forty-six."
"Does that include us?"
"Yes."
"Very good."
Hearing Nimf's answer, Fangzheng nodded. He could finally confirm that this person was not normal. Because logically speaking, if the young man was also a member of the expedition team, there should be forty-five people in the camp now. After all, only Fangzheng, Nimf, and the old professor had left the camp. But now, there was one more person beside the old professor, and the camp did not lose any people because of that.
In other words … .this person appeared out of nowhere!
Who is he?
"Can you scan what's down there?"
"Yes, Master. There's a huge building complex below. It should have been a city. It was probably built around …."
Speaking of this, Nimf's eyes flickered for a moment.
"Six hundred and fifty million years ago."
Could it be another one of the Ancients …. Oh, no, this is a desert, and those guys were frozen to death.
"There's a large number of abnormal life signs down there. They seem to be sleeping."
"Since they're sleeping, don't wake up. Let me go take a look."
Having said that, Fangzheng raised his head and took a step forward.
The next moment, he stretched out his hand and pressed on the old man's shoulder.
"Okay, professor, it's late. You should go back and rest."
"Ugh …. Huh?"
Sensing the hand suddenly pressing on his shoulder, the old man turned his head blankly and looked at Fangzheng beside him. His eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. His hands trembled uncontrollably. Then, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Seeing the unconscious old man on the ground, Fangzheng nodded. He turned around and looked at the young man behind him. The young bald black man was also looking at him with a smile on his face. He was not surprised by Fangzheng's sudden appearance.
"I didn't expect this to happen …."
"I didn't expect someone to play tricks right under my nose either …."
Fangzheng stared at the bald man and snorted coldly.
"You're not human, are you?"
It must be noted that although Fangzheng still maintained his original appearance, he had already released his [Dragon's Might]. The old professor fainted because he could not look directly at the [Dragon's Might]. However, for the bald black man in front of him, Fangzheng's [Dragon's Might] did not seem to exist. It had no effect on him at all.
"Aren't you the same? Mister? "
The bald man smiled and spread his hands.
"To be honest, this really surprised me. I didn't expect there to be an existence like you … Hmm … this really surprised me."
"I'm also quite surprised. What are you doing here?"
Fangzheng stared coldly at the man and asked in a low voice.
"Although I don't know who you are, you didn't bring the professor here at night just to enjoy the scenery, did you?"
"You're wrong."
The bald man smiled and rubbed his hands together.
"I just want to help him solve a few questions. His confusion, his problems, and the nightmares that haunt him. You see, I just want to help. I don't have any other intentions. "
"But I don't think so."
Fangzheng shook his head.
"To be honest, I don't think you're a good person. The smell you give off is very similar to some guys I've met before … Hmm, I don't really like this smell.
"Is that so? That's a pity. "
The two looked at each other with smiles on their faces. For a moment, it was as if even the wind blowing through the desert had stopped. There was dead silence all around.
The next moment, Fangzheng moved his right hand, and a pitch-black greatsword suddenly appeared. At the same time, the sand under his feet suddenly caved in, and a huge, earthworm-like monster suddenly pounced out from it. It opened its bloody mouth big enough to swallow a container and bit at Fangzheng!
"Hmph!"
Faced with the strange worm that was the size of a truck, Fangzheng snorted lightly. The pitch-black broadsword in his hand slashed down with a flash of fire, cleaving the strange worm into two from the middle. Following that, the flames suddenly exploded and instantly disappeared, leaving behind a large amount of black ash that drifted down with the wind. Then, Fangzheng took a step forward, and the greatsword in his hand stabbed straight at the bald man's chest.
"Gaaa — —!!"
At that moment, another strange bird that looked like a pterosaur descended from the sky. Its body was similar to a pterosaur, but its head was that of a horse. Its sharp claws flashed in the darkness, and it instantly turned into flying blood clots and disappeared. The horse's head still maintained the expression of charging straight with its mouth wide open, but before it could land on the ground, it was engulfed by the flames.
At the same time, Fangzheng stabbed at the bald man in front of him.
"Puchi!"
The sharp greatsword pierced through the man's chest, but even though he had suffered a fatal injury, the man still had a smile on his face.
"Interesting. Looks like it's a very interesting existence …."
As the man spoke, Fangzheng saw the bald man's body suddenly expand, and then it exploded with a bang. After that, a huge figure emerged from within!
It was an existence that looked like a human, but there were no palms or fingers on his arms. Instead, there were smooth tentacles. Not only that, but what was more eye-catching was that his head was also a long tentacle that looked like an elephant's trunk!
"— — — —!"
"It's you!?"
Seeing the true form of the monster in front of him, Fangzheng was also very surprised. If the bald black man just now was a surprise to him, then the monster in front of him was enough to explain its true identity!
It was Chaos, one of the Three Pillar Gods — Nyarlathotep!
