Yellow sand everywhere.
Above the head, there is a blue sky without a single cloud, and a scorching sun hangs high above the head. The sunlight is swirling like magma and pouring down, baking the endless desert as if it is burning.
Wu Tie looked up at the sky, staring directly at the scorching sun with wide eyes.
The firelight flickered in his pupils, and even if he looked directly at the sun, it only made the corners of his eyes slightly sore.
He looked greedily at the blue sky and the scorching sun on the blue sky. For a long time, he stared at the sun for a full hour before he lowered his head and looked around.
"Old Tie is right... the sky, the sunshine... it is really the most beautiful scenery in the world." Wu Tie smiled brightly: "Then, what I see now is an illusion, or is it the mustard seed forcibly opened by the legendary power? world?"
There is yellow sand in all directions, and countless sand dunes are gently undulating, like waves extending to the end of the world.
Wu Tie bent down, grabbed a handful of sand, and squeezed it hard.
'Bang'!
Countless sands, as fine as powder, flowed down between his fingers, swirling and flying away without a trace when blown by the wind.
The strong wind blew, and layers of gravel on the ground flew up, turning into whirlpools of quicksand visible to the naked eye, whistling away into the distance. The wind and sand hit the body, and the skin feels itchy and painful. Both the hand feel and the touch of the skin are very real.
Wu Tie could not distinguish between reality and hypocrisy in this world. He looked around for a while, then randomly chose a direction to walk.
The sun was scorching, and the sun above our heads seemed to never set.
Wu Tie walked in the desert for a long time, a long time, probably a day and a night, with the scorching sun still hanging high above his head. The blazing sun made Wu Tie sweat profusely. He had already taken several jars of water from his bracelet and drank them down.
After walking forward step by step for a long time, Wu Tie heard subtle sounds in the sand dunes.
A gray-yellow desert viper suddenly sprang out of the sand, opened its mouth and bit Wu Tie's calf.
Wu Tie flicked his fingers, and a strong wind blasted out, smashing the seven-eight-foot-long giant into pieces, and its flesh and blood spurted out seven or eight feet away. Immediately there were more subtle noises in the dunes, and a large group of desert scorpions rushed out.
Palm-sized scorpions with light black shells ran lightly on the quicksand. They pounced on the flesh of the desert viper, waving their large pincers to feast on it. In a short time, the desert viper disappeared without a trace.
Wu Tie watched the scene of desert scorpions eating for a while, and then continued walking forward.
He has never been to the desert, but according to the combat experience taught by Lao Tie, poisonous snakes and scorpions are found here, which proves that there must be a water source nearby.
So, after climbing over a row of sand dunes nearly a hundred meters high, Wu Tie's eyes lit up. He saw a lake several miles in diameter seven or eight miles ahead. Beside the blue lake, there are palm trees, palm trees, and large expanses of grass.
This is an oasis in the desert.
The water is rippling, and white waterbirds are playing on the water. Occasionally, some waterbirds flap their wings and fly across the lake. The waterbirds cast their elegant silhouettes on the lake, like a pair of birds flying together, lightly crossing the lake. It caused a ripple.
Tired of looking at the endless yellow sand, Wu Tie suddenly saw this piece of good water, and Wu Tie also laughed subconsciously.
The fire in his eyes dimmed, and the scene in the oasis became extremely clear. Even the veins on every thin green grass by the lake were clearly visible.
Wu Tie saw that on the grassland by the lake, a large camel team had set up camp. More than thirty white pointed tents surrounded a huge round tent in the middle. A curtain was set up by the lake. Several girls with fair and delicate skin were playing and bathing by the lake.
Wu Tie's eyesight was very good... so he accidentally saw the bodies of those girls.
His face turned slightly red, Wu Tie quickly looked away.
Just behind the camp, where a large number of camels gathered, a wisp of yellow sand rose high on the dune, and the sound of low hoofbeats was heard, followed by a sharp whistle carried by the wind.
A large group of powerful men wearing black robes, holding scimitars, and looking murderous all over their bodies, riding fast horses and camels, suddenly rushed out from the row of sand dunes. They let out shrill laughter, swooped down the steep sandy slope, and rushed into the camp in just a few breaths.
From the tent in the camp, a large group of guards wearing various robes rushed out. They were armed with scimitars, spears, and some were carrying bows and arrows, and quickly formed a crude defense line relying on the camel team.
The men charging on their mounts made sharp whistles. Some of them drew their bows and fired arrows. The sparse but accurate arrows shot through the air and hit several guards in the camp.
Blood sprayed on the sand as the guards fought with the attackers.
But these attackers were obviously much stronger than the guards. In just one breath and one charge, most of the guards in the camp fell.
The attackers separated half of their men and rushed into the camp. Their machetes split open the tents, and many men and women fled from the tents screaming.
The scimitar split the air and struck these people.
The men were chopped to death with machetes, while the women were hit hard by the backs of the swords and staggered to the grass.
The attackers had excellent riding skills. They laughed and bent down, grabbed the women who had fallen to the ground, and placed them on the backs of their mounts.
Wu Tie was stunned. He suddenly flew into the air and rushed towards the oasis with a ball of strong wind at his feet. The fierce wind blew and the yellow sand rolled. The momentum of Wu Tie's charge was several times stronger than that of a team of hundreds of attackers.
In the oasis, several attackers had rushed to the edge of the lake. They used knives to split the curtain. Several pretty girls who were bathing screamed in terror, and each of them curled up and hid in the water.
The attackers laughed crazily. They shouted loudly in a language that Wu Tie could not understand. They jumped off their mounts and rushed into the lake. They grabbed several naked girls with all their hands and feet. Their dark palms were on Their fair bodies were covered in excitement.
Suddenly there was a fire in the camp.
An attacker knocked over a bonfire outside the tent, and the burning wood ignited the tent, and the fire quickly spread around.
The miserable howl of a dying man, the horrified scream of a woman, the 'click' sound of a machete cutting into bones, and the rampant and crazy high-pitched laughter of the attackers... The originally peaceful and tranquil oasis suddenly became... It became a bloody hell.
Wu Tie rolled up a large piece of yellow sand and rushed over.
The attackers also noticed the large tumbling yellow sand approaching rapidly. They screamed in panic, regardless of the trophies in their hands. They got on their mounts one by one and quickly gathered together.
Wu Tie came to the edge of the oasis on a yellow dragon roll that was tens of meters high and more than ten meters in diameter. He was suspended high in the sky, overlooking everyone in the camp.
Everyone in the original camp trembled and knelt down on the ground, hysterically worshiping Wu Tie, and they were so loud that they didn't know what to say.
The attackers also had panic expressions on their faces. They looked at Wu Tie tremblingly. After a while, they also jumped off their mounts, knelt down in awe, kowtowed to Wu Tie, and also babbled without knowing what to say. Something.
"I don't understand..." Wu Tie looked at these people awkwardly.
I don't understand... But looking at the messy scene in the camp, Wu Tie flipped his right hand, and the air around him rolled rapidly, and quickly condensed into a cyan palm with a radius of several hundred meters.
'Bang'!
The huge palm fell heavily on the group of attackers.
All the attackers were smashed to pieces by this palm, and their flesh and blood flew all over the ground. The mounts beside them, the horses and camels, were not injured at all, but they were obviously frightened by Wu Tie's blow and almost collapsed, and all of them fell to the ground with limp limbs and could not move.
"These mounts can be regarded as your compensation..." Wu Tie looked at the people in the camp who were also stunned with fear, shook his head, turned around and rode away in the wind and sand.
Due to the language barrier, Wu Tie was too lazy to waste time on them.
He had killed these ferocious attackers and left their mounts as compensation. Although some men were lost in the camp, having these mounts around... I think they would feel more comfortable.
Just as Wu Tie rode the strong wind and flew back tens of meters, the light around him suddenly dimmed.
The desert disappeared, the blue sky and the scorching sun disappeared, and the oasis and those people also disappeared.
Wu Tie's body landed lightly. He was in a dark and deep corridor. The corridor was nearly a hundred meters wide and nearly a thousand meters high. Behind him was a dark rock wall. Only the corridor in front was extremely long. There is no end in sight.
The corridor looks extremely long and narrow, giving people extremely heavy psychological pressure.
On the walls on both sides of the corridor, there are statues standing at regular intervals.
The human body, and the head is the head of a jackal, a wolf, a dog, an eagle... or the head of some other bird or animal. Each statue is hundreds of meters high. They stand on a high base, slightly lowering their heads and overlooking the corridor.
These huge statues are all dark, but they wear armor made of gold. The golden armor generally covers their upper bodies. They also wear gold war skirts around their waists and gold boots on their feet. Outside, a large area of the body is exposed.
These gold armors are also inlaid with large pieces of emeralds, rubies, and sapphires, which are colorful and extremely gorgeous.
From the dome of the corridor, a strange black light shone down.
These transparent black lights are extremely mysterious. Under the illumination of these black lights, these statues have an erratic, sacred, and untouchable mysterious atmosphere out of thin air. In short, it makes people feel extremely depressed.
There was a sound coming from the front.
Wu Tie walked forward along the corridor.
The big scorpion Dessa said that this is the path of the dead. Wu Tie didn't know how many mysteries there were here. Once you come, you can make peace with it. Since there is a corridor, let's go forward along the corridor.
Wu Tie suddenly understood what Lao Tie once said - 'When you can't resist life, just lie down, close your eyes and enjoy it'!
Walking in the corridor, he walked forward for a long, long distance. Just when Wu Tie thought he would never reach the end, the corridor in front suddenly disappeared.
A dark door stood in front of Wu Tie.
Outside the gate, a man with a falcon head in black robes stood there quietly.
Wu Tie looked at this guy carefully. Yes, although he had an eagle head, he had an Adam's apple and a flat chest. This guy was a man.
"Finally, is someone here?" The eagle-headed man muttered in a low voice, "You chose to kill those bandits. Why?"
Wu Tie was silent for a while, and then he said: "They want to humiliate those girls. These things are wrong."
The eagle-headed man smiled: "But in the desert, only the strong are qualified to survive... You killed them because they killed the weak, but have you ever considered that after you kill these sand bandits, the people behind them will , those old, weak, women and children, what will happen to them?"
Wu Tie grinned and sneered: "Stop playing such little rhetorical tricks. They did something wrong, and they deserve to die."
"Perhaps, in your opinion, their behavior was natural, the weak and the strong... But I thought they were wrong, so I killed them. According to your theory, this is correct."
"Because they are weaker than me, they have no right to live in front of me."
Wu Tie looked at the eagle-headed man sarcastically: "Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
The eagle-headed man was stunned, and then nodded vigorously: "That makes sense. I actually have nothing to say... Well, okay, let's go straight to the formal procedure."
A scale made entirely of gold, but inlaid with black gems in many places, appearing mysterious and gorgeous, appeared in front of Wu Tie.
The eagle-headed man smiled and said: "Then, after passing my test, you can enter the next stage of your journey... Let me weigh your crimes..."
"Weigh my sins?" Wu Tie laughed: "What qualifications do you have to weigh my sins?"
The eagle-headed man was silent for a while, and he smiled: "Because, I am better than you... A perfect answer, isn't it? If you can't beat me, you must obey my rules and the rules set by the great Lord Osiris. …”
Wu Tie was stunned and let out a long sigh.
It was indeed an absolutely perfect answer, and he couldn't even find any words to refute it.
A black light shone on the scale, Wu Tie's body shook, and he slowly flew to the end of the scale.
The eagle-headed man said calmly: "The guilty ones should be punished here. If you can survive it, you can live. If you can't survive it, you will die here... Well, let me see, how much punishment will you accept? Let me Let me see your sins."
Weights made of strange-shaped black gemstones flew out of the hands of the eagle-headed man and landed gently on the other end of the scale.
"You've killed someone."
"You gambled."
"You... um, is this just a little bit? There is no alcoholism, no promiscuity, no incest... none of these crimes?"
The eagle-headed man frowned and stared blankly at the two small weights on the scale.
And these two weights have already made the scale sink, causing Wu Tie at the other end to rise high.
"I sentence you... to the frying pan, and to the punishment of whipping..." The eagle-headed man looked at Wu Tie helplessly: "Because of your choice in the oasis, your punishment will be... very light, very light... It's really, really boring. .”
