581 a clue that spans a thousand years
Late at night.
The lights in the command tent were still on.
The soldiers passing by or patrolling couldn’t help but sigh when they saw this scene. The head of state was really worried about the wasteland.
Inside the tent, link was holding a cup of coffee. He was browsing through documents while waiting for the ten blood cocoons to hatch.
The macaw at the side followed suit. It held a bottle of drink and shook it on the rattan chair, waiting for the spider demon guard to break out of its cocoon.
[ action as shown in the picture ]
In the latter half of the night, the frequency of patrols outside decreased significantly. Only the rhythmical crackling of firewood burning in the brazier could be heard.
At the same time, the hardened blood cocoon in the tent also cracked.
The blood cocoon shook, and the demonic Spider inside struggled to break free. It then used its tentacles to tear the blood cocoon apart.
After the synthesis, the appearance of the demonic spider guard didn’t change much from its original appearance. The only difference was that there were some flowing light-like patterns on its abdominal cavity.
His upper body, which was originally standing upright, was now gradually leaning forward in order to better suit the mechanics of the body. This reduced the area that he could exert force on, and also reduced the pressure on the demonic spider’s spine. The rulers on its forelimbs had also increased in number, extending out from both sides of its body. It was covered in a layer of thick, streamlined shell, looking sharp and aggressive.
link checked the spider demon guard’s information and saw the combined data.

The skill of the demonic spider guard turning into a crypt assassin was also quite powerful.
Ten underground assassins emerged from their cocoons and appeared in front of link.
The crypt Assassin’s jaw opened and closed as it opened its mouth, and a hoarse voice came from its throat.
The demon Spider language was a minority language. Link had not mastered it, so he could not understand what they were saying. However, the macaw beside him was already excited and quickly translated for link.”They said that they’d pledge their loyalty to link. But since you can’t even speak the spider demon language, I’ll be in charge of these ten underground assassins.”
Link opened his mouth, but the words that came out of his mouth became,”En, I’ll leave it to you.”
First of all, considering his current relationship with the spider demon Empire, it was not convenient for link to bring ten crypt assassins with him. Secondly, there was a language problem. He still had to rely on the macaw to translate his orders. Since the macaw had spoken, link decided to give it some face.
the macaw rubbed its hands in excitement. with such an elite group of guards, its safety at the front line was guaranteed.
The macaw yawned. since it’s already hatched, it’s getting late. I’ll go back and rest. I still have to prepare for the Alliance ceremony and do an interview with the TV station tomorrow morning.
“en, go ahead. if you don’t return at night, i’m afraid the higher-ups of the demonic spiders will be waiting anxiously.”
Although the macaw relied on a soft-rice to survive, it still valued the position and job of the Imperial Prime Minister that the Empress had given it. It was very responsible. Since he had brought out so many demonic spiders, he had to settle them down.
With his wings on his back, he swaggered out of the tent, followed by ten burrow assassins, looking quite impressive.
The next day.
Essia held a ‘Grand’ concluding ceremony.
Although there were no citizens in the city, all the soldiers were present except for the necessary defensive forces.
As for players, they would never miss a show, not to mention the matter of the spider demon Empire.
That’s right, ever since the sudden appearance of the spider demon Empire yesterday, the players had developed a strong interest in this new race.
A race that lived under the wasteland with a complete civilization and was completely different from the known race. This sense of mystery brought a new experience to the players.
in just one night, there was no news of the wasteland’s victory over the alien planet on the forum. instead, there were posts like ” the sudden appearance of the spider demons and the sudden reversal of the plot: my opinion “, ” macaw’s life as a double spy “, ” the self-cultivation of the best actor, old jin’s, ” the spider demon empire’s plan of doing things in the dark “, ” i’ve seen through everything “, and other posts. they were basically all players ‘fantasizing about the sudden appearance of the spider demons and their unruly speculations.
Just the day before, there were posts praising Link’s awesomeness. In the blink of an eye, they had all turned into Conan and started to play with reasoning.
Hehe.
Of course, in addition to the parties involved in the Alliance, there was also the most important role-the photography team of Shudu TV station.
Not only did this Combat Team bring first-hand war videos to the wasteland, but they also brought the scene of the cooperation agreement between the freedom Federation and the spider demon Empire. It could be said that this small team of cameramen had played an important role in allowing the audience to understand the situation at the front line.
In addition to the actual shooting of the large-scale exhibition, there was also this historical moment. The photography team’s products could be said to be productive.
From the interviews of the two commanders, Benjamin and the Duke, to the lives of the frontline soldiers, to the situation of the Inhumans, the photography team filmed and interviewed the frontline personnel from all aspects, bringing the latest news and programs to the audience behind.
“We are fortunate enough to witness this historical moment. The Overwatch Alliance, signed by the Supreme Leader of the freedom Federation, link, and the Royal Prime Minister of the spider demon Empire, macaw, has officially come into effect. From today onwards, the freedom Federation and the spider demon Empire would work together to reach a consensus on the development, utilization, and security of the wasteland. The wasteland is our home, and we need to work together. In the future, the two sides would have in-depth cooperation in economy, trade, culture, and other aspects. In addition, the freedom Federation will recognize the spider-demon Empire’s Underground Authority. At the same time, the spider-demon Empire will recognize the principle of ‘one wasteland’, which is that the freedom Federation will be the only legal government on the wasteland, and link will be the Supreme Leader of the freedom Federation, Qianqian.”
after listening to the overwatch alliance and the declaration of essia seriously, the players who were watching the show expressed that they were great!
His entire person had been edified and sublimated!
It could even be fast-forwarded to the establishment of the spider demon Dan Branch.
Other than that, link also gave the spider demon Empire a piece of land in the Gobi Desert between Etha and new West Asia. It was more than 20 kilometers away from Etha, allowing them to build their first city on land.
...
After Lin Ke and the macaw signed and exchanged documents, they shook hands and took pictures in front of the camera.
“You really don’t need my help?” Link asked with a smile.
the macaw chuckled. ” please don’t. the construction skills of the spider demons are top-notch. i’ll arrange for a messenger to bring the news back and ask the queen to gather the spider demon craftsmen to rush to the construction. i believe that it won’t be long before an eye-catching city of spider demons rises from the ground.”
soon, the materials shot at the front line were transmitted to shandu. after editing and post-production, they were turned into a tv program for thousands of households.
There were many things happening on the wasteland every day, but in recent days, everyone’s eyes were focused on Essia in the southwest.
Just as everyone’s attention was focused on Essia, two special existences went against the flow and crossed the eastern border of Shandu, arriving at a dense primitive forest at the junction of Daye, Shandu, and scattered lands.
Fu was panting. The primitive forest was covered in mud and many mosquitoes.
fu’s entire body was wrapped in a sealed plastic suit from head to toe. he also had a large gas mask on his face, covering his eyes, nose, and mouth. The plastic coat under his feet was divided into two parts. The part that stepped into the mud was the color of the mud, and the part on his knee was dry and scabbed gray mud.
Fu was panting. The mud was too hard to pull out. Once it reached his calves, it was as if something was sucking him up.
The spirit Vulture Palace was exposed to the air, and it was tied to his back by a spirit chain.
A small opening appeared in the Ling Vulture Palace, and a rich blue-green soul wormed out of the opening, talking to Fu.
...
according to the ancient book, there was a rebellion within the Pharaoh’s royal family 515 years ago. The branch royal family escaped from the desert with the Pharaoh’s treasures and came to the jungle to establish a new regime. They recuperated here. according to the other documents i’ve read, this separation was the start of the pharaoh’s royal family’s decline. After that, the Pharaoh dynasty lasted for a hundred years. Human society overthrew this feudal rule and entered a new society. At the end of the dynasty, various inheritances were lost, and the high priest group had no useful people, so they were easily overthrown.” Pharaoh tumeng said.
“What about this branch? how’s the development going?” Fu asked as they walked.
according to the historical records, after this family settled down in the jungle, they reclaimed farmland, built temples, and continued to live according to the ancient system. They also created a Grand occasion. however, 450 years ago, it was said that all the clansmen put down their work and went into the depths of the jungle overnight. since then, they disappeared mysteriously and never appeared again.”
“You know so much about things that happened over 400 years ago?” Fu couldn’t help but ask, attracted by this mysterious story.
“later on, some people from the outside world came to the jungle and found that the place they lived in was in a hurry to leave. all kinds of farm tools were scattered on the ground, and a project that was half-done came to an abrupt end, so there was this record. After that, many people who were greedy for the treasures of the Pharaoh’s branch came to explore the temple, but all of them met with mishaps after entering the temple. The only person who escaped from the temple alive also became crazy. He said that there were suffocating dirty things in the temple and then repented for his greed for entering the temple to find treasures. But even so, this person died a strange death three months later.
These were all recorded down by people. From then on, there were rumors that the Pharaoh branches in the forest had suddenly died because they had collectively suffered some kind of curse. The places they used to live in were also cursed. Anyone who dares to approach them will die a strange death.”
Fu shuddered and said with a trembling voice, ” “So you are directing me to the ruins of the temple to kill me with The Curse of the Pharaoh? As expected, you still revealed your fangs hehe.”
pharaoh tumeng was very depressed, and he didn’t know whether fu was really stupid or just pretending.”If the Pharaoh’s royal family had such a powerful curse, it wouldn’t have been overthrown later! Although it was possible that there was filth in the temple, all the evidence now showed that it was very likely to have advanced knowledge and clues to the divine weapon. If we don’t go in, we might never be able to help link deal with the alien invasion.”
Fu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth after a while.”Tsk, even if it’s a mountain of daggers or a sea of flames, I’ll still have to go! The extraterrestrial civilization was powerful, and only advanced knowledge could change the fate of the wasteland. As the younger brother, I should share the burden with the boss!”
” good! ” pharaoh tumeng clapped. ” what a touching master-servant relationship! ”
Ah Fu rolled his eyes at Pharaoh tumeng. This thousand-year-old man had always coveted his body and abilities. Previously, he’d tried to sow discord between him and link in various ways. Seeing that he wasn’t moved, he started being sarcastic again.
and then what? we can’t just keep walking like this, right? ” Fu asked in a bad mood.
Pharaoh tumeng looked around and then muttered to himself, ” according to the records, this place is now the ruins of the temple. Combined with the subsequent astronomical and meteorological records, due to geographical changes and human activity, there have been one violent earthquake and flood here. The temple is likely to be buried under the mud.
Fu was angry when he heard this. What kind of answer was this? This was the same as not saying anything!
The primeval forest was so big, and the ground was filled with mud. How could they find it if they said that it should be under the mud? It wasn’t realistic to remove all the mud!
“You’re serious? At the very least, tell me the rough area. With such a large primitive forest, by the time we find the temple, even the wasteland will have fallen. Or rather, you didn’t actually find the exact location and just guessed it, right?”
the pharaoh tumeng frowned slightly.’what a guy! after staying here for a few days, this fat-headed and big-eared afu actually knows how to make fun of people. he’s really a traitor!’
“You’re right. I can only confirm that it happened in this generation from historical records and documents, but the specific location can’t be verified due to modern human activities and natural changes. but just because I don’t know, it doesn’t mean that others don’t know. tumonfah’s face didn’t turn red, and he wasn’t panting, as if he didn’t know what he was doing.
“who else knows?”
“You! Link told me that if I encounter an uncertain or unsolvable problem, I should let you judge as you wish. It’s always been magical.” Pharaoh tumeng’s soul moved closer to Fu and squinted at him, ” “Or are you saying that link is just bragging and you don’t actually have this ability?”
Fu’s fists were clenched tightly, and the fat on his face trembled. He gritted his teeth and said, ” “You can insult me, but you can’t insult the boss!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu entered the translucent [ spiritualization ] state and plunged into the mud. Everything before him was dark.
The Pharaoh tumeng was truly panicking. He couldn’t see anything around him, and he didn’t know his exact location. Moreover, Fu’s spiritualism had a time limit. If he didn’t get out when the time was up, there would be no oxygen underground, and the pressure would be huge. Once he exited the spiritualism state, he would suffocate to death in the mud.
If Ah Fu died, his soul would be ‘parasitized’ in the Vulture Palace, but his mechanical body would be in his backpack. He would be completely finished!
Fu, I’m just saying. Don’t let your emotions get the better of you, ” Pharaoh tumeng comforted him with a trembling voice.
