Captain Liebert, Gumandine, Karl, Barton, Fat Scorpion and others were sitting on the deck drinking wine in silence.
The same is true for the crew and the Hutton tribe.
No one is happy to have survived the disaster, and there is only endless sadness and anger in their hearts.
"Is there really no other way..."
Waken swallowed his wine bitterly and asked Fat Scorpion.
Although he had not done much action with Li Xiubai since he boarded the ship.
But in his heart, his respect for Li Xiubai, the boss, was no less than that of Fat Scorpion.
"I don't know...I don't know..."
Fat Scorpion held his head and shook his head in pain.
The power of nature can only keep the flame of life of the two people from extinguishing. If you want to truly save them, it is impossible for Fat Scorpion to do so with his current strength.
Xiaopi already has life energy, but it was injured like this. You can imagine how difficult it is to save it.
And Li Xiubai was about the same, he wouldn't have been injured so seriously.
But because of the anger in his heart, he had no control over the use of Emperor Yan's divine power, which resulted in such injuries.
Even if there is only a trace of Emperor Yan's divine power, it is not something he can control without restraint at his level.
If I had known that he would be like this, Ring Will probably wouldn't be willing to let him use the last of its power.
Karl held the golden card tightly in his hand. He had been staring at the card all day.
"Tell me... tell me, what should I do... I just ask you to tell me... what to do..."
Perhaps it was his plea that touched the soul of the adventurer.
On the blank card surface, a pattern finally appeared!
In an instant, Karl was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, staring at the card surface!
It was a temple haunted by countless ghosts, with the word "Houtu" faintly written on it!
"There is... there is a way! There is a way!"
Karl excitedly grabbed the card and shouted to everyone.
"any solution?!"
After everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked at Karl.
"Houtu Temple! Houtu Temple! Li Xiubai once told me that he cultivated the power of the five elements. He said that the five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, and contain yin and yang and so on.
There is a sentence in it, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, and metal generates water! If I guessed correctly, as long as these powers are gathered together, he should get some powerful power.
Maybe... maybe he can recover from his injuries! No, he can definitely recover. This is the guidance of the adventurer's soul, and it can't be wrong!"
"When I was helping the boss heal his wounds, I sensed that there were three powers of water, wood, and fire in his body. In other words, we still need to find earth and gold?"
Fat Scorpion stood up and spoke out.
"Well! Yes, as long as we find the temple represented by earth and gold, we can save him!"
Karl nodded heavily.
"Then where is the Houtu Temple?"
"etc..."
Karl held the card sensor, and after a long time, he opened his eyes in shock: "The Houtu Temple...is...at the end of the withered desert?!"
.......
The Blighted Desert, once the origin of civilization in the Nansha Realm, is now the realm of death.
Everyone has been here once before, and that time they came here to look for Jumang Temple.
But this time, we are looking for Houtu Temple!
This time it is ten thousand times more dangerous than before, because they have to cross the entire withered desert to the end!
No one knows where the withered desert ends, not even the Nansha Federation, which has the most complete historical records, doesn’t know!
There is no record of it either before the nuclear war, after the nuclear war, or during the Arango era.
If the withered desert is a restricted area for life, then its end is death!
This place is completely blank on the satellite map.
Perhaps, except for Long Xia back then, no one has ever set foot on it!
It is synonymous with the unknown, it is the embrace of death, it is the source of fear!
But the crew of the Dead Hand Pirates still want to enter here.
Just because... Li Xiubai is their family, and for his family, he will die without regrets!
"You are not allowed to go! If you go, you will only die in vain! Can any of you promise me that you will not die in the depths of the withered desert?
If something unexpected happens, I have to find a way to save you. Do you want to cause Xiubai to miss the time to be treated because of you?"
On the shore, Captain Liebert sternly refused the crew members who wanted to go with him.
The crew members looked at each other, lowered their heads and said nothing.
"Captain, I have to go. The vitality of Boss and Xiaopi is getting weaker and weaker. Without me by their side to support them with the power of nature, they may not be able to reach the Houtu Temple!"
Fat Scorpion walked out of the crowd and said firmly.
"And I am the only one who can sense the location of the Houtu Temple through the soul of the adventurer! Without me, Captain, you will not be able to find the location of the temple even if you walk your whole life."
Karl held the golden card and walked to Fat Scorpion.
"you..."
Captain Liebert sighed helplessly. He knew that the two men were right. Without them, it would be difficult to get the desired results from this trip.
"Don't look at me, old bastard. If I don't go, with your current fighting power, if you are really in danger, I'll keep you there until you die."
Gumandin shrugged and said loudly.
They had gone to look for treasures that could heal Captain Lebert's injuries.
Therefore, the people who went to the Houtu Temple were finally decided to be Captain Lebert, Gu Manding, Fat Scorpion and Karl, while the rest stayed in place to guard the ship and wait.
The four of them brought a few supplies, and Captain Lebert and Gu Manding respectively carried Li Xiubai and Xiaopi on their backs, and embarked on the road to Houtu Temple.
...
Two heavenly beings, one king, and one super. Such a combination is extremely powerful even in the Nansha Realm.
For them, the withered desert, a restricted area of life, can only be considered a hardship and not too dangerous.
Especially Gumandin, as the leader of the Dark Walkers in the Nansha Realm, he has countless blood stained on his hands!
The murderous intent alone is enough to frighten most mutated creatures.
The remaining part, even if it can't reach nearly 100 meters, will be killed by the black dagger in Gumandin's hand.
In terms of unscrupulous life and death fighting, no one is more terrifying than the Dark Walker!
Along the way, with the protection of Gu Manding and the asylum of the adventurer's soul, the four of them did not encounter any emergencies.
But the vastness of the withered desert still allowed them to walk for more than half a year before they finally came to the end!
The six months in the desert made the four of them look many times worse off.
Especially Carl, who was already mature, now looks almost older than Captain Lebert and Gumandin.
"How far is it?"
In the past six months, the most common thing said by a few people is this sentence.
Karl pushed aside the long hair that covered his eyes and looked at the golden card in his hand, as if communicating with some kind of will.
"It's almost time. We'll go another three thousand kilometers and walk through this red land."
"Um."
The four of them left the withered desert in silence, stepped into the scarlet land, and continued to move forward.
What they didn't know was that the moment they stepped into the scarlet land!
Somewhere, a dark blue creature suddenly turned its head and looked this way...
