The scorpion king's huge body was lying in front of Xia Pingan and Shu Longxi with immense pressure. Its huge golden pincer was just inches away, as though it could destroy the two of them with a wave. There were countless Seven Sun Realm and Eight Sun Realm scorpions eyeing them covetously. The atmosphere almost froze, and even the sound of Shu Longxi's breathing became soft …
"If you want us to get on your back, nod …" Xia Pingan suppressed the shock in his heart and tried his best to speak in a calm voice.
The scorpion king really nodded. It should have completely understood Xia Pingan's words.
Although Xia Pingan didn't know what this scorpion army wanted to do, it probably wouldn't be difficult for these scorpions to take his life in this situation. Therefore, he didn't hesitate any longer. After glancing at Shu Longxi, he stepped on the scorpion king's huge golden pincer and walked all the way to the back of the golden scorpion king as though he was walking up a flight of stairs.
When Shu Longxi saw Xia Pingan go up, she gritted her teeth and followed Xia Pingan from the huge pincer to the back of the scorpion.
After the two of them climbed onto its back, the golden scorpion king turned around. Under the escort of countless scorpions, it walked on the sand and quickly rushed into the distance.
Xia Pingan was already sitting cross-legged on the Scorpion King's back. The back of the Scorpion King was as wide as the deck of a battleship. Pieces of huge golden hard shell protected the Shoe King's body like armor. There were even dents between the hard shell. Sitting there, Xia Pingan was extremely shocked to see the scorpion army on both sides of the desert with their tails erect. They were like a magnificent army with thousands of men and horses.
The Scorpion King's speed in the desert was too fast, and it was abnormally stable. It was not running, but surfing and gliding in an ocean of sand dunes. It was the surging sand waves that pushed the scorpions forward.
The other scorpions beside him were like huge sailing ships racing in the sea of sand. Their tall tails were like the masts of the sailing ships, and the sand they stirred up was like the waves in the sea. It was especially moving.
The direction in which these kings were advancing was also the auspicious location that Cui Hao had divined.
Riding the Scorpion King in the sea of sand, Xia Pingan felt that if he could capture the scene in front of him, it would be enough for him to brag about for decades.
The scorpion army kept leaving sand dunes behind them. In just a few moments, they had already traveled over a hundred kilometers in the desert …
"What do you think these scorpions want?" Shu Longxi had never seen such a scene before. She sat beside Xia Pingan and asked uneasily.
"Anyway, it won't kill us …" Xia Pingan rubbed his chin.
"Nonsense!" Shu Longxi's beautiful eyes turned. "Do you think they want you to take those red beads …"
"Mine …" Xia Pingan decisively interrupted Shu Longxi again. These days, he had also studied the red beads left behind by the corpse bugs, but he had no clue. Those beads were heavy and looked like crystals, but they were indestructible. He tried to inject divine power, soul power, and even blood into those beads, but the beads didn't respond. Xia Pingan was at his wit's end. He could only put those beads aside and study them in the future. Anyway, Xia Pingan knew that the corpse bugs were born near the corpses of gods after they fell. They wanted to devour the corpses of gods, so the beads that the corpse bugs turned into were definitely not ordinary objects.
"Stingy …" Shu Longxi gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
Xia Pingan turned a deaf ear. He took out a bottle of wine and drank two mouthfuls, enjoying the pleasure of riding on the Shoe King's back.
…
The scorpion king army rushed through the desert. They ran for an entire day and night. The distance they covered in one day and night was more than the distance Xia Pingan and the others had covered in a hundred days.
At night on the second day, an oasis in the sand dunes appeared in front of Xia Pingan and Shu Longxi.
The oasis was too beautiful. It was a huge and tranquil blue lake. In this lonely desert, the lake was as dazzling as a sapphire.
In the middle of the lake, there was a huge, towering building. The huge building was mottled. The grayish-white building had the color of a sand dune. It had an ancient aura. It was unknown how long it had stood there. It was desolate, sacred, and had a huge oppressive aura.
A long stone arch bridge with eighty-one bridge holes extended from the temple in the lake. It extended to the edge of the lake and connected to the sea of sand.
The scorpion king army stopped. The golden scorpion king lay on the ground again and extended its huge golden pincer. It placed its pincer at the end of the stone arch bridge. Its meaning was very obvious.
Xia Pingan and Shu Longxi walked down the pincer and stepped on the stone arch bridge.
The scorpion king withdrew its golden pincer.
"Brother Scorpion King, thank you …" Xia Pingan nodded at the golden scorpion king.
The golden scorpion king also nodded at Xia Pingan, then turned around and led his army to disappear behind a sand dune in the blink of an eye amidst the dense rustling sounds. They left cleanly.
"Let's go in and take a look …" Xia Pingan looked at the huge building in the distance and directly walked towards it.
The bridge was not wide, only about two meters. Shu Longxi looked around as she walked. The lake under the bridge was too beautiful, clean, and clear. Shu Longxi could not help but look at the lake.
Suddenly, a pale face submerged in the lake emerged from the bottom of the lake …
That pale face had its eyes open. It was wearing a gorgeous summoner's robe. It stood upright in the water and looked at the bridge. One of its hands was raised and extended, as if it wanted to grab something.
Following the appearance of that pale face, even more pale faces submerged in the water appeared one by one. They were so densely packed that just one look was enough to make one's scalp numb …
"Ah …" Shu Longxi cried out in alarm. She quickly withdrew her gaze and grabbed Xia Pingan's arm.
"Don't look around …" Xia Pingan said in a deep voice, "That sea of sand and this lake are filled with endless killing intent. Who knows how many intruders have been buried here …"
Just now, Xia Pingan felt that the water under the bridge was a little unusual. It was too pure and beautiful. He could not help but quietly explore it with his soul power. As soon as his soul power touched the surface of the water, Xia Pingan felt that there were countless grievances and terrifying auras gathering under the water. His head shook and he instantly hallucinated. He quickly withdrew his soul power and the hallucination disappeared.
This seemingly beautiful underwater was actually very terrifying.
Shu Longxi's face was also slightly pale. "I heard that after the gods fall, countless people will be buried with them in the years after. The people in this lake may be buried with them …"
"Humans die for wealth and birds die for food!" Xia Pingan shook his head. "Those who took the risk to come here want the things and treasures left behind by the gods. Naturally, they have to be prepared to sacrifice themselves …"
Just as Shu Longxi was about to say something, she suddenly turned her head. On this side, she saw that the bridge that she and Xia Pingan had just walked on was slowly disappearing. This caused Shu Longxi to be shocked once again.
"Ah, the bridge is disappearing …"
"Calm down …" Xia Pingan calmly said. "Otherwise, how do you think the people in the lake fell into the lake …"
The two of them walked along the long stone arch bridge to the end of the bridge. There was a square on this side of the bridge. On the opposite side of the square was the magnificent building which was engraved with a desolate and sacred aura. The gate of the building was over 50 meters high and was completely open. Behind the gate was a flight of stairs. Behind the stairs was a magnificent palace.
What shocked Xia Pingan the most was the two words on the door. They were written in Xiaozhuan script – Tomb of the Gods.
As the two walked to the square, the bridge behind them completely disappeared.
There were also skeletons in the square. They were all scattered silver skeletons. There were also some golden skeletons. The skeletons stretched from the square to the entrance of the building in front and then from the entrance all the way to the stairs behind.
Set off by the skeletons, the door of the magnificent building was like a giant mouth that had swallowed countless powerhouses and was waiting for a new delicacy to enter.
In addition to the skeletons, there were also some weapon fragments, various bottles and jars, and even Realm Pearls …
Seeing the Realm Pearls on the ground, Xia Pingan licked his lips …
