In the desolate desert, a military truck was speeding along at a speed that was almost the limit of its life.
Every twenty seconds, the truck that was originally going straight would make a strange sharp turn, and as the vehicle turned, there would be a huge explosion on the road it was originally moving on, just like a roadside bomb attack.
The culprit of the explosion floated leisurely above the truck. After a few seconds, he casually threw out a stream of sword Qi in the path that the truck had to pass through.
Fortunately, Guhan and Yi Qing cooperated very well in the driver's seat. Every time the twenty seconds were about to end, Guhan would quickly give Yi Qing the command to turn, and then Yi Qing would make a dangerous turn the moment Guhan gave the command, avoiding the sword energy attack that fell from the sky.
"She's still above us, when can we get rid of her!"
Such a situation made Yi Qing anxious. This was her first day driving … Which rookie driver would want to drift in the desert like a professional racer?
"Don't ask me, I'm also a mess now, this is the first time in my life that I'm so lost … Turn left!
Quick! "
As soon as Guhan's voice trailed off, there was a sharp turn accompanied by the crazy screech of the brakes.
"We must have a target!
A target that we can hide from.
Master Guhan, the brakes are no longer sensitive, if this goes on, the truck will collapse. "
Although Yi Qing did not know much about cars, the feeling of stepping on the brakes could not deceive her. At this time, the sensitivity of the brakes was far less than before. Previously, she only needed to step on the brakes slightly to complete the drift, but now she had to step on the brakes with great effort.
"No, we don't need a target, you just need to keep driving forward!" This was the third time Guhan repeated this sentence to Yi Qing.
As early as when he got on the truck, Guhan understood that Artoria did not want to kill him at all … If Artoria wanted to kill him, she only needed to release five sword energies at the same time to seal all the escape routes and completely kill him. She did not need to use one sword energy to toy with him.
But Guhan felt that instead of saying that Artoria wanted to toy with him, it was better to say that Artoria was deliberately driving him in a certain direction. She seemed to be driving him in a certain direction, just like a farmer driving ducks. Wherever the whip was thrown, the ducks would flee in another direction.
"Yi Qing, let me ask you, is there any special place in this direction … Turn right, quick!" Guhan, who understood this point, asked Yi Qing loudly.
After a while of shaking and screeching brakes, Yi Qing replied while sweating profusely, "There's nothing special in the entire desert except for the oasis. If there's anything special, it's the Demon Temple. That's the only place!"
Demon Temple?
Guhan seemed to have heard of this name before. Before the old chief of the Zongzi Tribe died, he told Yi Qing that his mother was sucked into the Demon Temple.
"Where is the Demon Temple?" Guhan already knew where he should escape to.
"Is that woman trying to drive us into the Demon Temple?"
Yi Qing was not stupid. She immediately understood what Guhan meant. She turned the truck and sped in the direction of the Demon Temple.
"This idiot, he finally knows where he should be going!
I can finally end this boring game, "Artoria, who was in the sky, said faintly when she saw the truck driving in the direction of the Demon Temple.
As she said this, the Sword of the Lake in her hand disappeared. It seemed that Artoria had given up on using sword energies to drive Guhan away.
"I don't have much time left. That idiot is about to lose control. I should go too." Artoria's moving figure suddenly stopped in the air.
If one paid attention to her armor, they would notice.
The original black armor was gradually fading and turning blue.
A few seconds later, Artoria suddenly disappeared into the sky, as if she had never been there.
…
"This is the Demon Temple?
It looks identical to the sphinx in the historical records! "
Standing in the middle of the desert, there was a building with a sphinx lying on the ground that was especially eye-catching. This was the forbidden ground for all humans in the desert, the sphinx.
"Every time a human tries to approach this place, the sphinx will open its mouth and suck the approaching human into its mouth, just like my mother!"
According to Yi Qing, the mother that Yi Qing spoke of had been sucked into the sphinx's mouth after she went crazy when she approached the Demon Temple.
Hence, when Yi Yun talked about the temple, there was a hint of sadness in his words … as well as a hint of anticipation … What was she looking forward to?
She was looking forward to seeing her mother again, even if it was a corpse.
"Let's go in!"
Guhan took a deep breath and ordered Yi Qing, "Drive in the direction of the temple. We have to prepare to enter the temple."
"No, we can't. The temple is too dangerous!" Yi Qing immediately refused.
"No matter how dangerous it is, it can't be more dangerous than the Universe ranked Yuan Kou above us?
Trust me, drive in.
Since Artoria is trying so hard to get me to enter the temple, I will go in and see what's so mysterious inside. "
"Yes, Lord Military Governor!"
Yi Qing did not speak further. She held the steering wheel tightly and sped straight in the direction of the sphinx.
Sure enough, when Guhan and Yi Qing were about 500 meters away from the Demon Temple, the sphinx's mouth suddenly opened up and down. A suction force that was like a Category 12 tornado spewed out from its mouth, sucking the entire truck into its stomach.
Then, the Sphinx shut its mouth tightly, as if nothing had happened just now.
…
Climbing out of the wreckage of the truck, Guhan looked around and found himself in a hall.
It was a hall the size of a basketball court. The ground, roof, and surrounding walls of the hall were all painted with various ancient Egyptian-style murals.
In each of the eight directions of the hall, there was a statue of a dog-headed man. These dog-headed men were holding a bloody head in their hands, and there was a lampwick as thick as a hemp rope standing on the top of the skull.
The eight wicks were all lit up, illuminating the surroundings in a hazy manner. It was just like the hazy lights on the roadside before the apocalypse, and the little foot massage shops were written on the signs.
It was not known if these lampwicks were always lit, or if they were lit the moment Guhan entered the hall.
While Guhan was looking around, Yi Qing also climbed out of the wreckage. Because she was sitting in the driver's seat, there were a lot of things made of steel. When she fell, some sharp things scratched Yi Qing's left calf, leaving a bloody wound that was 150 mm long.
"You're hurt!"
When Gu Han saw this wound, he immediately took out his Gold Sore Medicine from his dimensional pocket. Before he could hand it to Yi Qing, he heard Yi Qing cry out for his mother as he frantically pounced towards a skeleton in the corner of the wall not far from him.
The skeleton that Yi Qing was hugging was not the only one in the hall. Guhan roughly estimated that there were more than 200 bones scattered everywhere in the hall. It seemed that all the unlucky guys who had been sucked into the Demon Temple over the past hundred years were here.
Guhan walked to the side of Yi Qing, who was hugging the skeleton and crying softly. Guhan noticed that there was a very exquisite diamond necklace hanging on the neck of the skeleton. It was very unique. It was probably because of this necklace that Yi Qing recognized that this was her mother's skeleton.
At this time, the best thing to do was not to comfort Yi Qing, nor to make her happy, but to shut his mouth and let Yi Qing pour out her sorrow alone.
So, Guhan stood silently beside Yi Qing and watched her cry … In fact, Yi Qing did not cry for too long. How could the future Jiandi not be able to control and restrain his emotions?
After a few minutes, Yi Qing wiped her tears and stood up.
"Admiral, do you have any dry branches or other flammable things on you?"
Yi Qing whispered, "I can't let my mother stay here forever. I want to cremate her and bring her back to the surface for burial."
Hearing Yi Qing mention sparks, Guhan could not help but think of his parents and the ashes that had exploded. His heart was abnormally sad, and he could also understand the pain in Yi Qing's heart.
"I don't have anything flammable on me." Guhan patted Yi Qing's back, "But we can use what we can."
Guhan took out a fuel tank from the wreckage of the truck that had turned into scrap metal and poured the gasoline inside on the skeleton of Yi Qing's mother. Then, he used an iron rod that was dipped in gasoline to ignite a flame from the kobold's oil lamp and threw it on the skeleton.
In an instant, the skeleton was set ablaze.
The bright red light of the fire shone on Yi Qing's face, making her face look especially pale.
After the skeleton turned into ashes, Guhan very considerately took out three Kvass bottles from his dimensional pocket, twisted open the bottle cap, and directly poured the wine on the ground.
"Damn, Guhan, what are you trying to do to my Kvass?"
Yi Tian was anxious. Seeing that his treasure was being ruined just like that, he shouted through the sword mark with a heartache.
"I don't have a choice. I have to find something to store the ashes in!" Guhan replied.
"Then can't you let me out and let me drink all this wine … That's too wasteful."
Gu Han ignored the Heaven Leaning Turtle's grumbling and handed all the empty wine bottles to Yi Qing. Yi Qing looked at Gu Han gratefully before starting to collect the steaming hot ashes on the ground … Err, actually, he also collected quite a bit of pure dust into it.
When the three wine bottles were almost full, Yi Qing suddenly picked up a shiny object from the remains of the ashes in surprise. "Admiral, why can't this be burned off?!
Mother loved this the most, I wanted to burn it for her too. "
Guhan fixed his eyes on it. It turned out that Yi Qing was holding the diamond on the diamond necklace. Logically speaking, it would be strange if a normal flame could burn a diamond into powder. A diamond that could be burned must be a fake.
However, Guhan would not spoil the mood by telling the truth. Instead, he calmly said, "This should be something your mother left for you. I hope you can continue to pass it on!"
There was a saying, "Which school is the best at picking up girls? Look for Guhan from Yuzhang University."
Damn it, it doesn't rhyme.
