548 Having an old man at home is like having a treasure (3.22)
The underground palace of death.
the battle between link and tummon’s soul box was coming to an end.
link had thought that this would be an easy battle to suppress. he had the advantage in both level and strength, not to mention that he had the [ blood rage ] status. he could even smash a level-60 leader’s head into pieces, let alone a level-45 one.
However, link had never expected that his ever-victorious fighting style would almost fail this time.
the 21st level of blood rage that he had accumulated with great difficulty was easily cleared by tumeng’s [ disintegration equation ] in the process of fighting with pharaoh tumeng’s soul box.
Ever since he had mastered the heaven’s son’s insight and apocalypse to stack the passive effects, link had mostly used this mode in battle. It would turn some of the difficult or even extremely difficult battles into normal or easy mode. coupled with ‘one skill to eat the heavens’, he had not suffered any setbacks. this made link forget that his status effects could be removed by certain skills.
Today, he had been taught a lesson by the soul Box of Tummon’s Pharaoh, which was ten levels lower than him. It didn’t take long for the other to use the disintegration equation to remove the buff on him.
without the buff, lin ke could still fight. however, an NPC of a lower level had taken the lead. this made lin ke feel embarrassed, so he attacked even more rapidly.
However, this also served as a reminder to link. The trick of combining two skills could be used as a powerful effect, but it definitely couldn’t be used as a trump card. Otherwise, if he encountered an enemy who could remove buffs the next time, he wouldn’t even know how he died.
Tummon’s Soul Box reacted to Link’s attacks in a hurry. It was as if it was in the bottom of the ocean with turbulent waves. It couldn’t help but block each wave of attacks with great difficulty.
“Your strength is indeed not bad. You are worthy of the identity of the desert Lord.”
after the two exchanged a blow, they both stepped back and separated. tumeng’s soul box opened its mouth and changed its evaluation.
After fighting with link, he had a clear understanding of Link’s strength.
“A Pharaoh’s Soul Box from a thousand years ago was able to withstand my attack. It is indeed a masterpiece.”
Neither of them wanted to kill each other. One of them wanted to probe and collect information, while the other wanted to understand the structure, power, and strength of the mechanical Soul Box.
a mechanical soul box that could contain souls and the heart of the desert as its core energy source. even the most talented mechanic, helen, might not be able to create it a thousand years later. The combination of ancient machinery and magical mechanical devices, as well as the effect of the heart of the desert, this Soul Box had already transcended all the conditions of a perfect body. As long as the soul of the Pharaoh tumeng was immortal, he could rely on the mechanical Soul Box to live forever.
when the two of them were fighting, they both felt that the other party had no intention of killing the other.
“You’re actually trapped here, aren’t you?” link asked.
In his previous life, the wasteland planet didn’t have tumeng’s Soul Box and this plot, but link could still analyze that tumeng’s Soul Box was trapped here based on the memories and experiences of his two lives. He didn’t know the exact reason.
After all, if the soul Box of Pharaoh tumeng was so powerful, he would not have been trapped here for a thousand years. He would have left long ago.
at the mention of sad things, pharaoh tumeng was silent for a long time before he said, ” “This Soul Box of mine uses the heart of the desert as its driving force. However, in order to extract the energy from the heart of the desert, it still needs enough light to be activated. Originally, there was a special opening at the top of my tomb. Every day, sunlight would shine in to charge the soul Box. It was a pity that after I was buried, the priest betrayed me and sealed the opening at the top again. I could only rely on the whale lamp in the mausoleum to absorb light energy, and it took me hundreds of years to gradually wake up.”
Link nodded slightly. He had a rough idea of what had happened.
This priest must have sided with the new Pharaoh. After all, if he really let Pharaoh tumeng out and relied on the soul Box he had forged, wouldn’t the entire desert dynasty be under his rule forever? This would definitely be a threat to the future rulers.
The high priest had sided with the new Pharaoh, and the new Pharaoh had sent people in to eliminate any future problems. However, they had all been blocked by the contingency plan that patriarch tumeng had set up before he died. then, the pharaoh tumeng relied on the whale lamp in the hall that never went out to gradually absorb the light energy of recovery, but it was only recovery.
He’d planned to save up some more energy before breaking the scythe ferret’s shackles and taking back everything he had. Who would’ve thought that the sand rat would lead a family in to ” cause trouble ” and force the Pharaoh tumeng to use his power to expel him? then, Link’s group forced him to use what little energy he had left to fight. He’d even accidentally learned that the Pharaoh dynasty had fallen.
The Pharaoh tumeng was not a fool. Otherwise, he would not have had the ambition and patience to carry out this plan of eternal rule.
The current situation was that the current ruler of the desert was a ruthless man. Not only was he unable to defeat him, but he also had many helpers. More importantly, his descendants were also under the other party’s command.
Weighing the two, Pharaoh tumeng decided to stop the war.
He was very curious about what the world and society would be like a thousand years later, and how they would operate.
The battle today had used up too much of his energy. If he continued and used up all his energy, he might be captured by link for research and never wake up again. Instead of continuing the stalemate, it was better to find a way out and solve the problem in a gentle way.
Link had the same plan in mind.He had never seen such a magical and ancient mechanical structure before. If he could mass-produce Tummon’s Soul Box by studying it, souls would have their own ” Home ” in the future. He wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of synthesis. With Fu’s ability to absorb souls, link could create a psionic Army.
The two of them tested each other with words and knew that today’s situation would probably end here. There would not be any more waves.
the two of them looked at each other, and their hearts were connected.
Link spoke first, ” Pharaoh Tumon has been trapped here for 1000 years. The outside world has already changed dramatically. Do you want to go outside and feel the impact of the New World? ” Of course, if you don’t want to go out, I’ll order people to guard this place after we leave. No one will disturb us.”
The Pharaoh’s eyes glowed with a faint green light as he walked down the slope link had given him. He looked at Fu and said, the New World is not very attractive to me. When the Pharaoh dynasty was flourishing in the past, it even expelled alien invaders who tried to attack the desert civilization. What I’m worried about now is whether the bloodline of the future generations can continue to be passed down, Yingluo.”
Ah Fu felt the gazes from the surrounding people and wondered what this had to do with him.
the two of them had a tacit understanding. after they finished speaking, their eyes met and they laughed together.
King Kong, shazok, sand rat, you guys are in charge of opening the path.
After receiving the order, King Kong and shazok started to move.
Although the walls of the sacrificial room were very wide, with the strength of the three pets, the walls could only hold them for a while.
While waiting, link couldn’t help but ask curiously,”Pharaohs tumeng, you said that the Pharaoh dynasty once fought with invaders from foreign planets and successfully drove them away?”
This was the first time link had heard of this. He didn’t know if the alien invaders that the Pharaoh tumeng was talking about were the ones he knew of.
A trace of reminiscence flashed through Pharaoh tumeng’s eyes.”I was only fifteen when the alien planet invaded. At that time, the entire dynasty was under my father’s rule. It was a peaceful and peaceful day as usual. Space was violently torn apart, revealing the deep purple of the void. Demons from alien planets appeared from the space crack, raised their butcher’s knife, and wanted to conquer this continent.”
“Do you still remember what those demons looked like?”
there are too many of them. There are many kinds of them. There is an Army of ferocious red-skinned hounds with tentacles, destructive demons mainly responsible for attacking, Shadow Demons who are good at mobilizing energy, and alien craftsmen who have mastered alien technology. The material of my Soul Box came from the Runic Armor of an alien commander. After smelting it, it was forged with our own secret technique.”
Link’s expression began to change.
The alien planet that the Pharaoh Tumon was talking about was the one that link knew. It was a demon race called the ” interstellar locusts ” and was also the main enemy of Fate 2.0. In version 2.0, the alien demons invaded the [ van TI system ], and three novice planets, including the wasteland, Victoria, and Pandora, were attacked.
The players fought in their own territory, and under the leadership of the planet’s version child, they fought against the alien demonic race. In the process, they mastered a lot of the alien demonic race’s science, technology, and knowledge, allowing the players to increase their strength. At the same time, with the help of external forces, they reshaped the power structure of the novice planet. Finally, the free organization [ first order ] appeared in the [ Brahma system ], and they worked with the players to defeat the alien demonic race. This also opened the doors for the players to enter the galaxy.
Simply put, version 2.0 was more like a transitional version. Through the invasion of the alien demonic race, they would attract the advanced civilizations and organizations in the star system and use them as a stepping stone for the players to enter the galaxy.
In his previous life, the invasion of the alien demonic race did not last long. The players were basically being beaten up for the first two months. However, under the leadership of the ‘version son’, they gradually discovered the alien demonic race’s weaknesses. In the process of fighting them, the players’ levels and equipment became better and better, and they even obtained many alien demonic weapons and equipment. Coupled with the arrival of the emissary of the first order, which brought with it a lot of advanced knowledge, the players ‘strength increased, and they defeated the alien demonic race with ease. He would drive them back to their own nest.
In the end, as far as 1500 years ago, the alien demons had coveted the wasteland, but they were beaten back by the natives of that time. Just how powerful was this ancient Pharaoh dynasty?!
The Pharaoh noticed that Link’s eyes had turned red, and realized that he had spoken too loudly. He quickly added,”But of course, it was only with the help of an Angel that I was able to defeat it. “at that time, the angels descended in their aircraft and bestowed knowledge and divine weapons. the high priest committee selected those with talent to study this knowledge and improve their own strength, producing weapons to fight against the alien demonic race.”
Link’s eyes brightened. then where are the knowledge and divine artifacts bestowed by the angels now? ”
...
If Link’s guess was right, the angel who had descended in the aircraft was the predecessor of the freedom organization [ first order ] of the [ Brahma system ]. The knowledge and divine weapon she had given him were the advanced knowledge and weapon blueprints for the interstellar stage! If he could get his hands on something from the past, link would be one step ahead of them and prepare in advance!
it’s been too long. Pharaoh tumeng frowned. I only remember that after we won, my father felt that these things could overturn the dynasty, but he couldn’t guarantee that the alien demonic tribe wouldn’t invade again, so he arranged for someone to keep them. Only the Pharaoh and the high priest had the right to see it. As for after my death, according to what you said, it has been more than a thousand years, and I have no idea where I am.”
if the desert hasn’t changed much, ” Pharaoh tumeng said, ” we might be able to find some clues after we get out.
As soon as he finished speaking, a new mission appeared on Link’s interface.
[ you have triggered the B-Rank Mission [ dynasty equipment ], accept/decline ]
[ mission hint: you have accidentally learned that the Pharaoh dynasty had once fought against the alien demonic tribe, and that the angel had passed down knowledge and divine artifacts. Although a thousand years have passed and the world has changed, it is still possible to find clues to the divine artifacts ] (the actual difficulty of this mission is higher than the system’s evaluation)
[ quest reward: dynasty equipment, 500000 experience points ]
After reading the mission, link was instantly attracted by a sentence in the mission notification. The actual difficulty of the mission was higher than the rating.
This mission was a B-Rank mission, so the actual difficulty was higher than the evaluation. If it was higher, it would only be a-rank!
The hint was quite obvious.
Link also understood the hidden meaning in the Pharaoh’s words. Many things had happened in the past thousand years. It would not be easy to find it all at once. However, the Pharaoh had seen it before. He had even set it up himself. He had even learned some advanced knowledge and knew the dynasty’s secrets. If he was determined to find it, it would definitely be easier than link.
...
Pharaoh tumeng wanted to use the dynasty’s treasure to befriend link.
“It doesn’t matter. Since Pharaoh once had it, it won’t be difficult to find it again. The most important thing now is to leave this place. We’ll talk about these lamps in detail later.”
“You’re right.”
While they were talking, the thick wall had been chiseled open to allow only one person to pass.
Everyone left the altar Hall.
When he arrived at the palace in front of the altar Hall, he saw the corpses of the demonic spiders on the ground.
Pharaoh, before we entered the Great Hall of the altar, this Palace had already been occupied by the demonic spiders. They had dug a tunnel underground that was filled with ravines. Perhaps they had sensed the aura of the Great Hall of the altar, ”
“i’ve sensed the traces of these creatures for a long time, and every time they tried to excavate the great hall of the altar, i’d set up a ‘defensive array’ in the great hall of the altar, making them return without success. as time passed, they stopped excavating the altar hall and entered the palace instead. Let them guard the tomb in disguise.”
after saying that, he turned to fu and said, ” Lin Junjun, I can help you search for the knowledge and godly items left behind by the angels, but I have a request.
Link’s lips curled up. The other party couldn’t hold it in anymore.
“Please speak.”
“i’m not familiar with the outside world, so i need someone by my side. Fu has the aura of my bloodline, so why don’t I let him stay by my side? it’ll speed up my integration into the new society.”
“Even if you didn’t say it, I would have done the same.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, leaving Fu, who was following behind, with a confused and angry face.
he clenched his fat fists and gritted his teeth.
This is too much!
