The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 809 A Corpse

Nigeria, Triangle Tower Scenic Area.

In just a few hours, the "abyss" in the desert was repaired by Cang Dao and returned to normal.

That night, a large number of residents outside the desert scenic area were awakened by earth-shattering explosions, but no one could tell what exactly happened in the scenic area.

Because after the explosion, what followed was a brief sandstorm that swept in all directions.

Of course, there were also a very small number of citizens who were still awake and happened to witness that scene. They said that a golden beam of light appeared in the direction of the desert and shot straight into the sky, but they were not able to take pictures in time.

There are different opinions about this strange thing.

Some say it's the arrival of a spaceship from an alien civilization; some say it's a divine punishment sent by God, and the end is coming; others say it's a military base hidden underground in the desert that was researching black technology weapons, but accidentally got away with it.

Each version is more outrageous than the last, but no one is digging into it.

Early the next morning, the Sanjiangtan Scenic Area was still open, with tourists flocking in to visit, take photos, and check in as usual.

……

One o'clock in the morning, deep in the desert.

Under the altar of living beasts, there are temple ruins that have been restored by Cang Dao.

"Weng—"

In the center of the empty and dark temple square, a blue ball of light flashed, like a will-o'-the-wisp.

Soon, the blue light ball opened up and down, turning into a long and vertical crack. Then, the crack opened to both sides, turning into a portal that shimmered with blue light.

A few seconds later, four blurry and rippling figures appeared behind the portal, as if reflected on a quiet lake.

"Swipe - brush -"

Four figures walked out of the "lake" one after another, namely Qilin, Yishi, Liao, and Quyou.

Qilin leaned on his crutch with his left hand and glanced down at the ancient stone floor illuminated by the blue energy of the portal. Under his feet was a small ditch filled with special combustibles.

Qilin knew what it was. He took out a kerosene lighter from his windbreaker pocket, lit it with a click, and threw it into the small ditch.

"bass--"

The small ditch was immediately ignited and turned into a line of fire, spreading to both sides and quickly branching out, creating more lines of fire.

In just a few seconds, countless lines of fire formed a huge animal totem, burning quietly against the ground, illuminating the empty and silent square in front of him.

"I go……"

Yishi looked up. Although she had already seen the photos, she could not help but be shocked by the ancient, majestic, solemn and mysterious temple ruins when she came to the scene in person.

However, Yishi soon discovered that the most critical obelisk and black sarcophagus he had seen in the photo data were missing - it seemed that not everything in Cangdao could be restored.

In the slightly swaying firelight, Qilin's face was sullen, and the lenses reflected the light, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly.

After a few seconds, he whispered the order: "That's it, reconnaissance."

"Yes."

With a respectful voice, she raised her hands and activated Level 5 [King of Kun]. After a while, a black army of insects emerged from the portal behind her.

They stayed briefly above Ling's head, like a dark cloud. After receiving Ling's "will", they quickly turned into countless wisps of black smoke and dispersed in all directions.

Finally, he stood there, closed his eyes tightly, and listened intently to the mental waves coming from the insects.

In less than 2 minutes, Liao Lio opened his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief: "President, we have searched all possible places here. Apart from us, there are no other living people, and there should be no ambush..."

Qilin was silent. He knew that he had not yet finished reporting.

After hesitating for two seconds, he continued to add: "A body was found at your four o'clock direction."

"Who?" Qilin asked.

"I don't know, insects' intelligence can't tell the difference," Liao said.

The atmosphere became solemn and subtle, and Yishi exchanged glances without saying a word.

Qu You was also very sensible and kept his mouth shut throughout the whole process.

Qilin's left hand holding the cane tightened slightly.In the early morning of the previous day, the Haichuan Regiment successfully prevented Jiu Si's explosive attack and returned to the underground base to rest.

Since then, Qilin and Li have been waiting for news about Yanliang and Qinglong. During this period, they took the initiative to contact them twice, but were unable to get in touch.

Qilin vaguely guessed that they met Gao Yang, and the plan did not go as smoothly as expected, and there probably was a fierce conflict between the two parties.

But Qilin had confidence in his own people. Yanliang and Qinglong came there with a group of elites and laid an ambush in advance.

On Jiu Si's side, excluding those on the frontal battlefield, the only people Gao Yang could lead were Qing Ling, Ke You and Can Gu. Their combat power was very limited and they could never be their opponents.

But until dawn, Yanliang and Qinglong still couldn't contact each other, and Qilin realized that something was wrong.

Maybe what happened in Nigeria is more serious than imagined.

But Qilin still took chances.

Until noon, Qinglong and Yanliang still couldn't contact each other. Qilin couldn't sit still. He took Qinglong, Quyou and Yishi with him and immediately headed to Nigeria.

[Congxin] is suitable for covering group operations, and she has six talents, so her strength should not be underestimated.

Qu You's [Time and Space Teleportation] facilitates access to the temple ruins under the desert, and Yishi is the best doctor besides Suzaku, who can rescue the wounded.

The four of them worked non-stop and arrived at the Triangle Tower Scenic Area in Niguo in the early morning.

Qilin retracted his thoughts and said in a low voice: "Okay, lead the way."

"Yes."

Liao Liao led the three people towards the direction where the body was found.

Although the insects had already conducted reconnaissance, they still walked very slowly. They were alert to possible dangers with [-]% energy, and at the same time roared in their hearts:
——I have promised not to go to the front line a long time ago, why do you have to take me with you every time?
——You’re still telling me that “with great power comes great responsibility”, am I the only one who wants to realize so many talents?

——Something is wrong, 10 out of 12 points are wrong!You can't really be right by my crow's mouth. Something happened to Qinglong and Elder Yanliang.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

There was a corpse lying in front of him, still a headless corpse.

His clothes were in tatters and his body was covered in bruises. It looked like he had been through a hard fight.

His body is very strange. At first glance, he looks tall and strong, but if you look closely, he seems to have shriveled up, as if... he has shrunk.

Two seconds later, he was shocked and his pupils dilated.

She recognized that this corpse was that of Qinglong.

"what!"

Yishui screamed and rushed forward. She knelt on one knee next to the body and carefully inspected the body. She still held the handle of the medicine box tightly with her right hand, but did not open it because it was of no use at all.

She raised her head, her face turned pale, and her voice trembled slightly: "President! Yes, it's Elder Qinglong..."

Qilin stood there, his face ashen and silent.

"President...look over there..." Qu You's face was extremely ugly. He turned sideways and pointed to a stone pillar on the side, with a protruding object embedded in it.

Qilin walked towards the stone pillar with a slight bump on his crutches.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Never before had his legs felt so heavy and his body so tired.

Finally, he walked to the stone pillar, and it was indeed embedded with an object that did not belong to it. It was the bleeding head of Qinglong Qiqiao.

It seems that Cang Dao's power is indeed declining. When he was restoring the underground ruins, he even made such a big "mistake" and mistakenly regarded the head of an awakened person as part of the ruins and built it into the stone pillars.

Qinglong's head was exactly the same height as Qilin's head. There were no eyeballs in his eyes, only two dull black holes with blood solidified.

He just "looked" at Qilin blankly.

At this moment, Qilin's back was facing the light of the flames, and the lenses on the bridge of his nose no longer reflected light. His dark green pupils were like the surface of a frozen lake, and what was under the lake was not the surging water, but the wildly burning strange fire.

--Oops!
Yishi had a premonition that something was wrong, and quickly shouted to He Quyou: "Close your eyes!"
