In the endless grey desert.
The gray dead egg, like a boulder, is rolling slowly,
Due to the slow scrolling speed,
After estimating the rolling direction of the egg, Yi Chen would grab the egg, run quickly for a hundred meters and then put the egg down again. After a brief direction correction, he would pick up the egg and move another hundred meters.
Repeat this cycle.
While Yi Chen was picking up and putting down the eggs, a silver-haired young man followed behind him with a mobile metal crutch commonly seen in hospitals.
Disappointed with the old world, Yuehen Lorian did not embark on the journey of exploration alone.
At the same time, he also gave up his plan to settle in the old world.
By comparing the two worlds, Lorian still thinks the old world is better, so he will take this as a one-day trip to the old world. He will need Yi Chen's body to go back through the passage.
Therefore, he and Yi Chen formed the current deformed team of one person and one patient.
This kind of team has both advantages and disadvantages. With Yuehen's strength, they can go deeper into the area and the probability of obtaining relics is greatly increased.
If they accidentally encounter another team of gentlemen who have come to the Old World, the situation will become very difficult to explain, and Yuehen is likely to wipe out the other side completely without leaving any survivors.
The two of them had been walking in the desert for an unknown amount of time, and their concept of time was becoming increasingly vague.
This time, Yi Chen did not pick up the dead egg on the ground. He let it continue rolling and turned around to take out the hourglass from his backpack to restore his concept of time.
"What!? It's already been half a day?"
Half of the sand in the hourglass has flowed away... Generally speaking, newcomers exploring the Old World must immediately consider returning after half of the time has passed.
Yi Chen has only just begun to explore and has not encountered anything yet.
Yuehen came over and patted his back gently, "Don't be nervous! The leather content of your clothes is very high, so it can definitely last for more than a day... Besides, I'm here, so it's okay to play a little longer.
Let your friends go back first, we will go back later as long as we are not exposed."
The palm of Lorian's hand that patted Yi Chen's back released a special moonlight barrier, which made the black coat coated with a layer of silver, and his whole style changed as a result.
The rate at which the skin content is consumed is reduced by half.
"Thank you. I'll try to keep the time within one day. If I exceed the time limit, the monitor will definitely conduct a full body inspection on me, and there is a high possibility that you will be discovered by then."
"It doesn't matter if they find out. I don't need to conserve my energy anyway. The guy with the flesh-growing armor is quite powerful, but he's not capable of killing me.
Don't think too much, just focus on the exploration at hand. It would be unacceptable if a team like the two of us ended up with nothing."
During this brief communication between the two,
The dead egg has rolled far enough.
And if you look closely, you will find that the rolling speed has increased compared to before, and it is still increasing... It is rolling into a large sand pit.
Yi Chen also noticed the speed change problem of Dead Egg at the first time and was about to speed up to catch up.
Bang!
A pale and withered arm suddenly stretched out from the bottom of the sand pit and tightly grasped the dead egg.
Seeing this, Yi Chen immediately switched to a gun and axe stance.
Lorian's eyes also flashed with silver light, and one hand gently fell under his right eye, ready to remove the gauze covering his eyes at any time.
Suddenly, an exaggerated scene happened.
With the sand pit where the withered arm was located as the center, the sand within a hundred meters around it suddenly became agitated and began to sink like quicksand.
Yi Chen and Lorian also jumped back and evacuated immediately to get out of the influence of the quicksand.
Suddenly,
A mobile building that combines the themes of a castle, a throne, and a shop emerges from the sand.
The overall specifications are visually estimated to be 10m×10m×15m.
The base is made up of various tumor-shaped jewels, golden skulls and coins from different eras.
The top of the base resembles a miniature castle, and the front can be fully expanded, similar to the sedan chair in Yi Chen's country during his lifetime.
Although the miniature castle has not yet been opened,
However, through the relief patterns and window grille structures on the walls, one can imagine a treasure house filled with rare treasures and smell the atmosphere of a transaction.
Under the throne, there are many "seat carriers" with their backs bent at 90 degrees. Their skin is even completely fused with the base. It is unknown how many years they have been carrying this special chair.
One of the people sitting back in the seat was holding the dead egg in his hand.
Buzz!
This group of people who were moving seemingly slowly arrived in front of Yi Chen and Yue Hen in an instant, as if the time of their movement had been "peeled off".
Just as the two were about to step back and distance themselves,
§Wait a moment§
A sound that penetrated the skull and hit the brain forced the two to stop retreating. Instinctively, they vaguely felt that if they chose to retreat here, they might be killed directly.
Even Yue Hen, who was an open source patient, had the same feeling.
§I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting product "raw eggs" on the surface. Only rare diseased birds that perfectly combine human characteristics and have certain "fertility" attributes themselves, and temporarily bring the concept of "fertility" from the outside, can get such a good thing when laying eggs for the first time.
It cannot be mass-produced and can only be obtained by chance.
Will you sell it to me? Distinguished guest.
As soon as the words fell,
The castle spreads out horizontally from left to right, transforming directly into a shop filled with all kinds of rare treasures.
A man with endless treasures and bloated fat was lying among the treasures. Under his eyelids piled with several layers of fat, a pair of golden eyes was staring at the two people in front of him.
Wearing a patchwork of styles from different eras and civilizations,
Apparently, he was the owner of this special shop.
As the store expanded, his body compressed inside also spread out, reaching a width of nearly twenty meters horizontally and ten meters vertically.
When the mouth opens to speak,
Teeth made of old metals and rare jewels were revealed, and the most prominent ones were his two golden front teeth.
One is engraved with "Du" and the other is engraved with "Ke". When they are connected together, they mean "Duke".
"I'm glad to meet independent patients with new diseases and special humans who don't belong to either world. It's worth my effort to come to the surface to trade with young people like you."
These words made Yi Chen's eyes widen, as if the shop owner in front of him could tell at a glance that he was a time traveler.
Yuehen Lorian felt a pathogenic level of suppression from the obese businessman.
"You can just call me Duke and come and trade with me."
As soon as the words fell.
An epic and magnificent music played in the ears of Yi Chen and Yue Hen at the same time.
The curtain was opened by an elegant violin solo, followed by the sound of bells, the chorus and the glissando of the strings from high to low, as if to draw all outsiders into this ancient castle.
As the music started,
It's clear that the shop owner is deliberately showing off.
A golden frame gradually appeared above the head, visible to the outside world.
The shop sign at the beginning is also made of gold, with the words "Duke's House" spelled out with various forms of gems.
The frames are filled with a gorgeous gem solution, and even solid gems are mixed in.
The corresponding titles and names are attached to the frames.
