Chapter 396 Desert Kingdom
It is not yet clear whether the three-headed shackle in Jenogu's hand is a magical artifact, but he has been searching for the artifact components on the shackles of time, hoping to repair this powerful artifact, but many people do not want this artifact to be restored.
"Swoosh!"
An arrow quickly crossed the sky and instantly stabbed a zombie with yellow fur. The powerful force directly penetrated its body and penetrated deeply into the hard Gobi Desert.
Su Lun shot and killed a werewolf scout who was following him, pulled the cloak on his body to block the wind and sand outside. Su Lun did not take anyone else this time. It was more convenient for him to ride a Tianma alone. The strong wind blew by, and Tianma shook his head and sniffed. Obviously, he didn't like this kind of environment.
Take out a worn-out parchment map from the storage space, Su Lun opened it and flipped it out. The map was very simple. There was no standard production mode for the map of this era, and many times I could only guess while watching.
This map was sent by a caravan, because Su Lun released the information on the acquisition of the War Soul Stone. After a month, the War Soul Stone was not received, and only this map and some news were received. The map records a ruin located in the desert. It is said that there may be a war soul stone in this ruin.
It is said that this ruin was destroyed in a war, and both sides could say that they died together. The probability of a soul-stopping stone was born on such a large battlefield. After Su Lun knew about this situation, he planned to explore the ruins by himself.
As you go deeper into the Gobi Desert, the fewer traces of the surrounding plants. Some desert plants such as camel thorns grow hard in this cruel environment.
However, as we continued to deepen, even the plants with tenacious vitality such as camel thorns became fewer and fewer plants. In the end, the Gobi Desert turned into a desert. A gust of wind came out, and yellow sand was flying all over the sky, and almost no green was seen in front of us.
This is the result of the ancient Arcane Empire and the War of the Gods, and this is part of the main battlefield. Many once glorious cities are now buried under the yellow sand. The various magical energy released by both sides changed the world, and the originally rich land became a deserted desert.
Rivers dry up and land desertified.
This desert is not the largest desert in the world. Continue to go west, in the south of the continent, there is a large desert that stretches for thousands of miles, known as the sea of death, which is the largest desert. At that time, that desert was the most intense battlefield between the Arcane Empire and the gods.
The sea of death is almost impossible to survive. Although thousands of years have passed, the damage caused at the beginning still affects it. Elemental energy is chaotic, and there are even some space cracks. Some dangerous places caused by war between the two sides.
Fortunately, Su Lun’s goal this time is not the sea of death. Even if a legendary strong man accidentally falls, he is in danger of falling. Although the desert Su Lun came to this time is not small, the level of danger is not that high.
Although the desert kingdom Amher claims that the entire desert is their territory, in fact, the areas they control are only areas where desertification is not severe in the western and southern parts of this desert, as well as some large oasis in the desert, and the rest are more occupied by various small forces.
Druids have a high status in the desert. Since this land has become a desert, many druids who believe in nature have come here. They use their own power to transform the desert, which has never stopped for hundreds of years. Many oasis in this desert are transformed by these druids.
Because the energy remaining from the battle did not completely dissipate, this also caused difficulties in transforming this desert. These druids are believers of the goddess of nature and need to spend a lot of effort to transform a desert area into an oasis.
For others, traveling through the desert alone is a very dangerous behavior, but for Sulun, it is not difficult. The most dangerous thing in the desert is to lose direction and not find an oasis to replenish supplies. Sulun's storage space is filled with various supplies, enough for him to eat for several months. With some spells, Sulun can easily identify the direction in the desert.
Su Lun did not let the Tianma fly, and it was difficult to identify the location in the desert. If he wanted to find the remains in the desert, he could only explore little by little. Although the flight was fast, some things buried under the desert could not be discovered at all.
After the Tianma retracts its wings, it looks no different from an ordinary horse, but it improves the divine horse and has a lively eye. There is no need to worry about being discovered. This is their self-protection.
After entering the desert, Sulun walked in the desert for two days. Apart from the yellow sand all over the sky, there were some white bones. Some of them looked very strange. Sulun found several dead bodies of camels kneeling on the ground, with no wounds or struggling.

Under the continuous sand dunes, some broken buildings are buried. These buildings are seriously damaged and many of them are no longer visible. They are buried in yellow sand. It is very difficult to dig out. Digging the remains in the desert requires careful attention to quicksand. As long as the sand is dug and collapses, it will be buried alive if you are accidentally buried.
Moreover, these ruins may not be rewarded enough. Various dangers often appear in the ruins of the Arcane Empire. Sulun simply searched through this ruins. This ruin was not what he was looking for. Sulun also found many traces of fire around the ruins. It is obvious that this ruin has been visited by many people, and even if it is excavated, it may not necessarily obtain anything.
After a brief look, Su Lun rode his horse and continued to move forward. When the sun set, a touch of green finally appeared in the distance. It was an oasis.
After seeing the oasis, Su Lun was shocked and gently patted Tianma's neck. Tianma neighed, and his four hooves flew, quickly running towards the green. How fast is Tianma? Although he didn't run with all his might, the green in the distance was also expanding rapidly. Soon Su Lun saw clearly that there was a saxal tree.
There are still many poplars living farther away. Populus is arranged neatly. It is obvious that this is not formed naturally, but is planted. Seeing these, Su Lun knew that he had found an oasis. Although he could live in the desert, no one wanted to face the yellow sand for a long time. Naturally, he would not miss it if he could have an oasis.
As Tianma approached quickly, a broken city wall made of sand and gravel appeared in front of him. The city wall was not high, only about six or seven meters long. The city wall was severely weathered, and some people were entering and exiting the city gate.
Some caravans led camels into the city. Although the oasis was not very big and the city walls were dilapidated, it was very prosperous inside. There were many business trips. Sulun saw many merchants selling on the street. The buildings in the city were also made of sand and gravel, which looked rough.
Su Lun turned over and dismounted the horse, slowly approached the city with the Tianma. The inspection of the city was not strict. Several soldiers stood at the door opening, and a fat tax officer held a pen to check and record. A caravan leader nodded and bowed to please him. Su Lun obviously saw the two saluted, and the merchant flexibly put a heavy wallet into the tax officer's arms.
After feeling the heavy touch in his arms, the tax officer waved his hand with satisfaction and let the caravan enter. Su Lun followed the caravan slowly and soon after a simple review, he finally entered the city. There were people from all over the mainland who were communicating with various accents. Fortunately, Su Lun had the ability to be proficient in languages, which was the power given by his divine nature.
With the all-night language, Sulun can basically communicate with any intelligent creature. In fact, in addition to being familiar with the language, there is also a spell called the all-night text. However, this spell is not commonly used and only wizards can learn it. This spell is often used in the exploration of ruins. There were too many types of words in ancient times, and even wizards could not remember them all.
The most eye-catching thing in the city are those dome buildings. The dome looks like a big peach, which is a unique architectural style in the desert area. In the center of the dome building, it is a high-mounted metal pointer.
The center of the city is the Desert Temple. Where to make the temple at the top, there is a golden sun and a pattern similar to the eyes. It is the church of the Sun God.
The Sun God’s divine priest has always been an important area for the gods to compete for. Almost every divine system will have gods involving the sun, and every god named after the Sun God is very powerful. In this world alone, there are three gods involving the sun, the Lord of Dawn, the Lord of Light, and the God of Sky and the Sun.
The temple in front of you is the church of the God of the Sun in the Desert God system. This is a powerful god. His areas involved include the sun, protection, and revenge. This is a god from a neutral camp, and his believers are the most in the Desert God system.
The Desert God System was an outsider from the ancient Arcane Empire. It is said that their original world was destroyed for some reasons and had to leave. Many of these people were slaves captured by the Arcane Empire. The relationship between the Desert God System and other God Systems was not harmonious, and fierce war broke out between the two sides at the beginning.
However, the Desert Gods only live in the desert and did not expand outward. The two sides finally reached a tacit understanding. Other god churches on the continent often had various struggles, and the Desert Gods were always watching coldly.
Sulun found a clean hotel in the city, then arranged Tianma and then went to a nearby tavern to find out the news. It is very difficult to find a place in the desert. After all, there is no obvious reference in the desert. Sometimes, the environment changes greatly after a sandstorm, and it is not easy to determine the location of the ruins. Caravans often pass by in the desert. These people walk in the desert all year round and know a lot of news.
