Chapter 360: Fishing for people
Chapter 360: Fishing for people
Xumi, in the hot desert area.
Ye Li looked at the desert map in his hand again and again, then looked up at the pyramid ruins in front of him which were more than 30 meters in size. Holding in his hand the replica of the Red King Cube that Amon had asked him to make in his research institute, he calmly walked towards the pyramid.
Arriving near the entrance of the pyramid buried in yellow sand, Ye Li took out the fan sponsored by the God of Wind Barbatos from the box he had brought without saying a word. With a light wave of his hand, the yellow sand was blown a hundred meters away, forming a brief tornado for one second, and then fell like sand rain.
Looking at the extremely clear door in front of him, Ye Li placed the Red King Cube in his hand in front of the door. The clicking and buzzing sounds continued to echo, and the entire pyramid was shaking. Finally, the door opened.
Looking at the decorations and carvings in front of the pyramid door, Ye Li was unmoved. He just walked in and observed the environment inside.
The main entrance hall of the pyramid is quite spacious, but the conspicuous coffin-like building in the middle makes Ye Li curious about what is locked inside. However, since he is in the Hall of Rebirth, he will not touch some taboos in the industry unless there are special reasons.
Disturbing the sleep of the deceased is a big taboo, but Ye Li is not interested in observing the puzzles here. He is here to rescue people, and forced destruction is also an option, but he has to do it when there is no other choice.
As for why Ye Li was sure that the person he was looking for was here, the reason was very simple. In the entire desert, this was the only place where the purest wind elemental power could be found, and it was buried in such a remote corner that even the owner of the Eye of God with elemental vision could not find it.
Of course, immortals and demons can be excluded. Their perception of elemental force is much stronger than that of the original gods. Except for the top powerful ones, it is actually not easy to rescue people in such a large desert.
After searching for the nearby mechanisms, Ye Li found some clues based on his own knowledge. He raised his hand again, and the Red King Cube also lit up blue light.
A buzzing sound rang out, and the bottom of the coffin began to rise slowly. Ye Li saw a secret passage from it, with stairs leading directly to the underground.
"It looks similar to the mechanism in the Desert Book. It would be troublesome without the help of the stone tablet and the Soul-Suppressing Mechanism. However, this key is enough to open all the places except the Eternal Oasis."
Ye Li played with the angular mechanical block in his hand, and he took a step forward.
After 30 minutes of puzzle-solving and exploration, Ye Li's fun gradually faded away until he came to a large door covered with words.
Ye Li skillfully picked up the block and unlocked it with one click, but before he could activate the block, the door trembled and opened by itself.
Ye Li frowned. Along the way, he encountered many attacks from monsters and desert animals when he unlocked the mechanisms with one click, but those only appeared after he opened the door.
Moreover, at the moment when the door opened and trembled, Ye Li sensed a trace of the power of the Eternal Oasis, that is, the power of time, a power that Ye Li was familiar with.
"It seems that I don't need to do it this time."
Ye Li calmly took back the cube and watched the door covered with words open. The clouds and time power rising from it slowly dissipated. Ye Li was startled and raised his hand to stop it.
The power of time is rare, and if it is wasted like this, it would be a huge loss.
Since the spatial scale was not enough, Ye Li had to use his own power to preserve time, but something unexpected happened.
The power from the wind was generated, and a lifelike eye of God appeared in front of Ye Li. It then dived into the door, absorbing the power of time, causing Ye Li to retract his hand that was suspended in the air.
Hearing the footsteps coming from inside the door, Ye Li didn't find it strange at all. After all, he was a butterfly that ran from another time and space to this side. If he didn't move or flap his wings, that would really be giving him, a butterfly, no face.
Looking at the girl with twin ponytails in front of him who was wearing the same clothes as in the game, although the clothes were the same, she still looked a little embarrassed. Ye Li immediately realized that something was wrong with her.
The girl's pupils were unfocused, like a delicate doll that had been broken. Her expression was dull, and she walked forward step by step as if she had lost her soul. The Eye of God hanging on her body was shaking with her movements. It was obviously the same Eye that had appeared just now.
Ye Li looked at the girl in front of him with a complicated expression, intending to test whether she would react. If that didn't work, he would have to carry her back.
"Hey, hey, hey, Bai Suishan, can you hear me?"
"Girl, it's already daybreak, why aren't you getting up yet?"
"Falusan, are you awake?"
Ye Li said three sentences in a row and moved closer to the other party, ready to knock her out and take her away if anything went wrong. In the girl's current state, it would be impossible to find the murderer, so she just had to deny it.
Besides, there was no other way. It was difficult to communicate with Falushan in her current condition. Knocking her out and letting her rest was the best option, which also saved us from wasting time along the way.
However, before Ye Li could take a few steps closer, the girl reacted as if there was a computer delay. It was unknown which sentence had the effect, but it was good enough that she reacted.
Ye Li's eyes suddenly became sharp as he watched Falushan's heterochromatic eyes gradually focus, waiting for what to say next.
"Who... are you? I... I'm so... so hungry. This... feeling, so... so... that's how it is. I'm... coming out!"
Before she completely fainted, the girl used her remaining strength to get closer to the handsome boy in front of her, wanting to hold on to him as if he were a life-saving straw.
Ye Li subconsciously reached out to catch the girl. Looking at her sleeping appearance, he was confused. At the same time, for some reason, a chill rushed to the top of his head, as if there was something terrible staring at him from a distant place.
But this feeling only lasted for a moment and disappeared like a dream.
……
In the inner world, in the courtyard of the bamboo hut, many people gathered around a stone table.
No. 2 Ye Li was sweating profusely as he watched the unintentional movements of his main body on the projection screen. He couldn't help but glance at Buyer next to him. Seeing that the other party seemed to have figured something out and breathed a sigh of relief, No. 2 Ye Li also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me guess, what will Xiao Li do next? After all, he is already this old. With a sleeping beautiful girl in front of him, as a man, he should do something that only grown men dare to do."
Gui Zhong, who was sitting next to the stone table at the moment, had some playful thoughts in mind, and a bad woman's smirk appeared on the corner of her mouth, which made Ye Li's clones sitting next to Buyer and Gan Yu instantly nervous.
Damn it, this familiar feeling of tension comes again. Why is this happening? I clearly did nothing wrong.
The clones of Ye Li yelled in their hearts, it was obviously a normal rescue job, why could they feel that the two women next to them were so angry, and why were their eyes so serious and sharp.
Seeing Gui Zhong trying to trick the child again, Morax sighed helplessly. Looking at his clones Ye Li and others who were confused and frightened, he made up his mind to have a good talk with Gui Zhong when he returned and tell him not to play with children like that in the future.
