Chapter 444 The Guardian God of the Desert
"Ifrit, you must die!"
Caesar was furious, but at the same time he couldn't help panicking.
Stabbed in the heart by the guardian of the desert, he will lose all his strength and turn into a scarab with a lifespan of less than a year.
And with so many cats around...
Caesar could already imagine what would happen to him next: These guys didn’t even intend to give him the chance to survive in the form of a bug!
"You want me to die, you are dreaming!"
Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Caesar suddenly roared, and before the divine power in his body had completely dissipated, he hastily mobilized the last trace of divine power and summoned a batch of scarabs that he had raised in the divine realm all these years.
In the next instant, Caesar's giant body shrunk rapidly until it disappeared, turning into a scarab the size of a fingertip.
At the same time, countless scarabs surged out from the place where Caesar disappeared, and there were tens of thousands of them, directly engulfing the bugs that Caesar had turned into.
Then, the densely packed bugs spread rapidly around like waves.
The cats gathered around all instinctively jumped backwards. There was no way. Although a single bug was weak, once it gathered in such a number, it was like a locust crossing the border, which could eat up a creature in an instant.
Even Evans and Manticore subconsciously took a few steps back, jumped to a safer high place, and then began to turn around and fight back.
When everyone retreated one after another, only two figures stood still and started attacking the bugs.
One is a bone dragon. As a divine beast with only white bones left, the bone dragon is not afraid of this kind of thing aimed at flesh and blood.
The other is Mu You. He is still in the form of a mecha, and he is not afraid of bugs, and he also has a pocket watch. At the moment when the bugs swarmed out, his two shotguns continued to blaze, and the direction of fire was aimed at The location where Caesar disappeared into the swarm.
As the tongues of flame gushed out, large swathes of the insect swarm over there died.
In the distance, Lin Xue also joined the battlefield, and the **** of death waved a sickle to continuously harvest patches of bugs.
With the efforts of several people, the raging insect swarm on the scene became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the number of bugs decreased, the cats watching from the outside also jumped over. This kind of moving gadget has a natural attraction for cats.
Thousands of cats immediately turned on the Shadowless Fist mode, killing one with one claw, and countless scarabs died from the cat's claws.
However, the bugs seemed to be ordered, and they didn't stop to attack anyone at all. Instead, they fled towards the outside of the oasis with a clear goal and never stopped.
"Caesar wants to escape into the desert, stop him!" shouted the bard.
Of course other people also understand this, and they are all trying to kill the bugs.
It's a pity that scarabs are not afraid of fire, otherwise it would be much easier to remove.
Just like that, the bug swarm fled all the way, the people and the cats chased and killed them all the way, and quickly wiped out more than 99% of the bugs, only a very small part, because they were too scattered and the target was too small, so they were missed. The cover of the horns escaped everyone's sight.
"about there."
After killing all the bugs within sight, Mu You put away the hot barrel: "If the other party can survive this way, then he is lucky."
Others also gave up pursuing after hearing the words.
Even Evans and Manticore, the two who hated Caesar the most, chose to stop at this time.
Of course, the most important reason is that it doesn’t matter anymore. Caesar has become a bug and lost all his strength.
Just when everyone stopped their hands, a scarab crawled out of a crevice in the ground tens of meters away from the crowd. flee outside.
This scarab is the incarnation of Caesar.
Caesar shouted in his heart at this time that he was lucky.
Originally thought that today was the most unlucky day in his life, everything went to the lowest point in an instant, and he was almost about to usher in the worst ending, but he didn't expect that his luck would explode at the last moment, from those people He survived the frenzied pursuit.
Caesar still feels unbelievable when he thinks back to the escape process he just experienced.
Although even if he survives, he can no longer regain his strength and original shape, and can only maintain the form of a bug, but at least he is still alive, and more importantly, he still retains consciousness, which makes him very different from ordinary scarabs !
As long as he can escape, he can find those fools from the Caesar religion, and in the name of the incarnation of 'Caesar', trick them into continuing to work for him.
In this way, life expectancy, survival resources, etc. will all be available. If he is lucky, he can still enjoy the life of an emperor, even if he can only enjoy it in the form of a bug...
Of course, the premise of all this is to live here first!
Caesar was dreaming silently in his heart, his jointed limbs danced rapidly, and his crawling speed accelerated again.
After walking through the dense grass, Caesar finally saw the golden desert in his narrow field of vision, just tens of meters away.
Caesar was suddenly ecstatic. As long as he could escape into the desert and get into the endless sand, the people behind him would have nothing to do with him.
Looking at the desert that was close at hand, Caesar couldn't wait any longer, jumped out of the grass, and rushed forward.
However, just as he was about to escape from the oasis and enter the desert, a meow suddenly sounded above his head, causing Caesar to tremble violently.
Caesar raised his head subconsciously, only to see a cat's paw descending from the sky, stepping on him.
Caesar's ghosts were all at once, but things happened too fast, and when he found out, he had already lost the chance to avoid it. After all, who would have thought that there would be a cat who was so ignorant of martial arts, and would run to such a fringe area to wait for an ambush he…
In despair, Caesar could only watch the cat's claws land on him.
"Meow, it's over..."
The next second, a silver-gray figure landed on the ground, with two cat paws stretched forward, its tail raised, and it stretched beautifully.
Coke was terrified after experiencing the thrills in the tower. After being brought back to the ground by Mu You just now, watching the earth-shattering fights of those giants, it didn't want to be involved again, so it walked away from the battlefield. He hid at the edge of the oasis, climbed to the top of a tree, watched the battle from a distance, and was prepared to flee immediately if the situation went wrong.
Fortunately, the situation is going well, Mu You and others successfully killed the lunatic giant.
Until this moment, Coke confirmed that the battlefield was almost cleaned, and then jumped off the tree, ready to go back to show his face and show his sense of presence, otherwise it would be bad if Mu You forgot here later.
"Crack!"
As a result, as soon as the Coke hit the ground, before I finished stretching my waist, I felt a pinch under my feet, as if I stepped on something.
"Meow?"
Cola hurriedly raised his paw to take a look, and saw a squashed insect corpse lying on the ground, and some insect shells and unknown slime stuck to his pink fleshy ball.
"Hey, how disgusting!"
Cola hurriedly shook his fleshy claws, and wiped the tree trunk next to him for a long time until it was cleaned up, then trotted towards Mu You.
…
In the distance, all the fighting was over, and Mu You also switched back to the skin of the watchman, and walked towards Evans.
Evans, who was seriously injured, had completely healed his injuries after taking some potions, but his blood-stained armor still showed the cruelty and tragedy of this war.
"How is it? How much has your army been reduced?" Mu You glanced past Evans, and looked behind him, those soldiers who were still lying on the desert.
Evans smiled wryly and shook his head: "Fortunately, less than one-tenth of the soldiers were killed, and the number of personnel did not decrease too much..."
Of course Mu You could understand what he meant. On the surface, the proportion of downsizing was not high, but this is the Astral World with a resurrection mechanism. Those downsizing were all people whose lifespans had been completely wiped out. Everyone was very happy. They may have died dozens or hundreds of times before finally dying.
In addition, what is more important is the level. Continuous death will bring a lot of experience points deducted. Many soldiers have been directly killed from level 15 or above to level 10, and the combat effectiveness of the entire army has dropped drastically. Really deadly impact!
"I told you earlier that I told you not to do stupid things. If you don't listen, look at this... hey, why bother?" A look of emotion.
Evans smiled wryly, but did not refute.
This is not something that can be transferred by his will. Even if he asks the army to withdraw, the soldiers will not agree. After all, no one can predict the future and know the future.
Fortunately, no matter what, the result is good. Not only did Caesar be successfully eliminated, but most people survived. It is better than letting 100,000 people die here directly.
"What about you?" Mu You looked at the troubadour again: "Can the divine power be recovered?"
Before Caesar was deprived of his divine power, the divine power did not directly return to the bard, but poured into the magic lamp.
"No problem, it just takes some time." The troubadour smiled confidently upon hearing this.
Anyway, the divine power is stored in the magic lamp and will not be lost, and his soul cannot be separated from the magic lamp. As long as there is a stable environment and enough time, he can slowly withdraw it from his body sooner or later.
"Next, are you two going to leave the desert?" Evans asked at this time.
"Yes, it's time to go back." Mu You took out the Magic Brush of Order, and stroked the rough and twisted body.
He came here for the magic pen, and now that he has the magic pen, he has no reason to stay in the desert.
"I also need to leave the desert with him temporarily to help him complete the subsequent inheritance transfer. In addition, I still owe him two wishes." The troubadour pointed to Mu You.
"May the goddess of the desert bless you!"
Evans made a blessing ceremony to several people respectively, then shook hands with Mu You, and said sincerely: "Welcome to the desert again at any time, Damo will never forget your kindness, you will always be friends here!"
After shaking hands, Evans took a dagger from his body, held it up in both hands, and handed it to the bard: "This is the artifact 'Guardian of the Desert' you gave back then, and now the mission of killing Caesar has been completed, yes It’s time to return it to its owner.”
The troubadour looked strangely at Evans returning the sword in a serious manner, but laughed out loud: "Who does it belong to? This is something that belonged to the desert goddess, and I picked it up by chance, except you, the desert goddess. I can't think of anyone who is qualified to hold it other than the heirs of his blood."
"Oh?" Mu You was taken aback, and looked at Evans in surprise.
Unexpectedly, like Lin Xue, he is the bloodline successor of a god... But this way, it explains why Evans has such a firm belief in the desert goddess.
"Yes." Evans nodded with a wry smile. In fact, he had never disclosed this identity to outsiders, but he was not surprised that the Djinn could see it.
"Goddess of the desert, what kind of **** is it?" Mu You asked curiously.
"The goddess of the desert, named 'Selket', holds the power of 'removing poison', and is the nemesis of all desert poisons such as scorpions, poisonous snakes, and poisonous insects. Since ancient times, the desert goddess has been the most important patron saint of the residents of this land , None of them." Evans proudly introduced.
"Serquet, she is a kind-hearted and dedicated goddess. She never gave up her priesthood until she died..." The troubadour showed emotion when he heard the words, as if recalling the past. the past.
After a while, he looked at Evans and nodded with satisfaction: "Now that descendants like you help her continue to guard the desert, she can rest in peace."
"From now on, you are the patron saint of the desert, of course, the unknown one..." The troubadour looked at a group of soldiers outside: "You defeated Caesar and guarded the desert, but you are destined to be unpopular." I know... But don't worry, when I recover my divine power in the future, I will still return to the desert and continue to be my troubadour. At that time, I will definitely turn today's heroic deeds into a troubadour story, which will be widely circulated in the desert, so that everyone I know. You heroes who guarded the desert should not be buried in history."
Evans smiled noncommittally when he heard the words, and looked down at the dagger in his hand.
He didn't know if any of his soldiers would care about these reputations. In short, he would continue to hold this sword and silently guard this land.
…
Half an hour later, Mu You, Lin Xue and others bid farewell to Evans and teleported back to Dawn City together.
In addition to Bone Dragon, Manticore and Djinn also followed Mu You to Dawn City.
As soon as the two giant creatures entered the city, they immediately attracted the attention of countless players, and a bunch of posts of exclamation and discussion popped up on the forum.
The manticore only felt noisy about this. It came here only to protect the magic lamp and its master. It had no interest in the spectators of these mortals. After entering the city, it turned into an orange cat and found a quiet place to sleep.
On the other hand, the bone dragon, now surrounded by countless players in admiration, twittering and interacting with it, actually vaguely regained the feeling when it was calling the wind and rain in the star spirit world, and was cited as a "shenlong" by a group of believers, so it deliberately entrenched in the The conspicuous place near the castle is where people look up and enjoy the comfort of being sought after.
Mu You didn't care about the two divine beasts. After entering the city, he immediately took the magic lamp into the dungeon, all the way to the seventh floor, and then passed through the gate in the hive and went down to the power room where the divine remains were stored.
Now that all the conditions are in place, he is about to formally integrate his blood.
"Yo, the bone of the demon god!"
When Mu You took out the bone of the demon **** and the blood of the **** in turn, the phantom of the troubadour who emerged from the magic lamp next to him was suddenly surprised.
The troubadour hurriedly floated up to him, looked carefully at the huge **** bone on the ground, and couldn't help but marvel: "Not bad, you can get this level of **** bone at the beginning... However, the bone of the demon **** is not easy to fuse... "
Mu You was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "What? Could it be that the Demon God's Bone is not compatible with the God of Order?"
He finally got the bone of the demon god. If it is not compatible, he has to find the bone again...
"Oh, that's not true, it's just that fusing such a high-star god's bone from the very beginning will cause a lot of burden on your body... In short, you will be very painful when fusing, and you need to The time will be much longer than that of ordinary **** bones."
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, as long as it can be fused, he doesn't care about the pain or not, anyway, it's just a one-time short-term pain, it's over after the fusion, it's not long-term, it doesn't matter.
"Then, how long will it take for these two things to fuse together?" Mu You asked.
Accepting the skin of God is actually just a matter of a moment, the key point is the prerequisite for accepting the inheritance: you need to fuse the blood of God first, transform yourself into a bloodline that can accept the inheritance; then fuse the bone of God into your body to increase the strength of your body, Thereby increasing the star level and upper limit that the **** skin can manifest.
Of course, the fusion of bone and blood can be carried out at the same time, and there is no conflict.
"About a week." The troubadour estimated.
"A week... so long?"
Mu You looked at him with a strange expression. He originally thought that even if the bone of the Demon God would take longer, at most a few hours, it would definitely be done before today.
As a result, it took a week...
The troubadour rolled his eyes: "You think it's a drug, just swallow it. This is going to completely transform your body from beginning to end, how can it be so fast."
"All right…"
Mu You smiled wryly. In this way, he will definitely not be able to go back before the door is closed today. According to the door button life rules, in the next week, he will be deducted a total of 127 years of extra life.
This lifespan is nothing, the key is that he has to find a way to go back after seven days, and it seems too late to find other forces to borrow the door at this time.
Fortunately, this is not a big deal. Even if there is no other way to go, there is still the well of the Fuya family available. After seven days, go directly through the well. As long as you return to the earth, the life span will naturally stop deducting.
Next, Mu You returned to the city first, told Lin Xue and the others the news, asked Lin Xue to take Coke and Vivian back first, closed the door, and then informed Fuya, telling her not to leave in a hurry, seven days Later, when he went to Liming City, he didn't know the way to her ancestral house, so he had to let her lead the way.
After finishing all this, Mu You returned to the power room.
"It's going to hurt, you, be prepared..." the troubadour said.
"Well, let's get started."
Mu You nodded, found a place to lie down, held the blood of God and the bone of God in both hands, took a breath, and started the fusion under the watch of the lamp god.
"Well…"
The moment the fusion started, Mu You suddenly felt that the skin of his whole body seemed to have fallen into magma, and it became extremely hot.
He admitted that he underestimated what Genie called "mental preparation".
The key is that under this indescribable pain, his consciousness is still very clear!
In addition, this hotness is still spreading inward quickly, and soon, Mu You only feels that the cells in his whole body start to boil and burn, as if he has fallen into the cooking oil of the fire, life is worse than death...
