The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

"Reward: [Delusion of Breaking Through Shackles] Progress 1/3"

"Epic Achievement*1,???"

[The Delusion of Breaking Through the Shackles] is a series of tasks. The first task is to gain the recognition of the Great Compassion Tree King. Lin Ye has not completed it yet. The reward is the same as the second task, which is 1/3 of the progress.

And this "???" is the final reward for completing a series of tasks, but it is not marked in the system.

Lin Ye was used to covering up things systematically. He took a look at the clues and asked Uncle Anpu.

"The old site of the temple in Gur City?" Uncle Amp frowned and did not answer immediately.

The city of Gur is very special in the hearts of the desert people. It is a synonym for prosperity and tyranny. Perhaps some desert people dream of returning to that era, but the ancestors of Aru Village moved to a corner of the earth because they were fed up with the rule of the tyrant.

"What do you ask for this?"

"After I held the Red Sand Staff, there was a faint voice in my mind guiding me to the city of Gul." Lin Ye said sincerely.

Uncle Anpu looked at Lin Ye with a half-believing and half-doubting look.

Don't lie to me.

Finally, Uncle Amp found the desert map he had obtained from the crazy scholar a few years ago, pointed to a location, and said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"The people of Aru Village are not like those Gilded Brigade, who hope to make a fortune from the ruins and covet the treasures of the Red King. The scholars of the Court of the Lords also covet these things, oh, or should I say archaeology. They spend all day thinking about digging up the tomb of Lord Red King and finding proof that He is a tyrant."

Lin Ye did not comment on Uncle Amp's remarks. He looked at the yellowed map. Compared with the map in the game, it was much simpler and rougher, and some places were not recorded or marked.

The location Uncle Anpu pointed to was in the upper left corner of the map, which was quite far from the location of Aru Village on the map.

Lin Ye estimated the itinerary, thanked Uncle Anpu, and received a prop map.

Thinking of something, Lin Ye asked about the earth veins. The doctor said that the earth veins in the desert were unstable, but he didn't say where they were specifically.

Uncle Anpu said he didn't know.

Lin Ye nodded. If the ground veins were disordered, it would cause some phenomena, and it would be difficult not to notice them at that time. Perhaps it was deep in the desert. After all, Aru Village was on the edge.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Anpu, Lin Ye went to find Ying and the others.

Uncle Anpu looked at Lin Ye's departing back and shook his head. After a short time together, he didn't think Lin Ye was a greedy person, nor was he a people of the sand, let alone a special worship of the Red King.

Who knows how the first village chief thousands of years ago could have made such a prophecy and looked for a stranger?

Moreover, the first generation village chief was so omnipotent? He even knew about new events a thousand years later?

Weird weird.

When Lin Ye found Ying, Shenhe and the others, Ying, Shenhe and the others planned to help Isaac find his grandfather.

Isaac is from Aru Village. The grandfather he mentions is a mad scholar. They are not related by blood, but that does not prevent them from becoming a grandparents and grandchildren.

Isaac's grandfather was among the missing mad scholars.

"What did the village chief say to you?" Paimon asked curiously.

“Well…” Lin Ye told everyone about the prophecy and took out the Red Sand Staff.

Everyone's eyes were on Lin Ye for a while, then shifted to Senuo.

Sano:......

"What are you looking at me doing?" asked Seno.

"I think the Scarlet King should choose a successor...Seno is more suitable." Paimon said.

"Ridiculous." Saino said coldly, "It's not funny at all."

Seno thought Paimon was joking, but not as funny as the jokes he collected.

"It's just talk." Paimon felt that he was expressing everyone's thoughts.

"Let's not talk about this for now. What have you found here?" Lin Ye looked at Isaac and asked.

There are clues.

Not every villager can live and work in peace and contentment like Uncle Anpu. The younger generation is fed up with the backwardness of Aru Village and longs for life on the other side of the sand wall.

But they are desert people, and they will be harassed even if they go to the city where rainforest people live.

Regional discrimination has existed since ancient times and is difficult to eradicate.

Actually there is a way.

Lord Red King was resurrected, he seized cities and territories, and conquered the Xumi Rain Forest. They, the descendants of Red King, moved there as the victors. Just thinking about the good life they would have at that time, wow, it was so wonderful.

The crazy scholar is the sacrifice.

This is the information collected by Ying, Shenhe and others.

"The Red King has resurrected again..." Lin Ye stroked his chin, "Could it be that this is a slogan spread by some Gilded Brigade who want to counterattack the rain forest?"

He felt that Chi Wang was probably dead. The system had already said in the description of "Aru's Old Dream" that Chi Wang was dead.

There is a difference between uprising and rebellion. Uprising is mostly caused by oppression, and it breaks out after people become unbearable. Killing corrupt officials is the most direct slogan. After that, it depends on the pattern of the ruler of the rebel army, whether he wants to live in peace in a corner or plot to become emperor.

When it comes to rebellion, one must have a legitimate reason. An unjust army will surely fail. Even if one uses the excuse of raising an army to support the king, it is better than exposing one's true ambitions. At least it can be barely justified in the eyes of the people of the world.

The desert people are not under the rule of the Decree Council, and the power of the desert is a mess. It is very chaotic and cannot be called a country. It is not even worthy of the title of a war among princes. After the collapse of the Olgana Dynasty, there has been no hero who has integrated all the tribes, unified the desert, and proclaimed himself king or emperor.

In short, the desert people's attack on the rain forest cannot be called a rebellion or an uprising, it can only be called an invasion, but their strength is worrying. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Order of the Lords does not have the combat power of gods, and it is not something that the idle Gilded Brigade can challenge.

However, it is indeed easy to expand your power under the banner of the Red King. I will learn from him when I have the chance in the future.

After listening to this, Seno thought it made sense, but he did not have much information at hand and could not make a rash definition.

Lin Ye now has two choices. One is to search for the missing crazy scholar with Ying and the others. This involves the main storyline, but he just doesn't know about it.

Another option is to go to the old site of Gur City and enter the [Aru's Old Dream] mission.

Lin Ye thought about it and his intuition told him that it would be best to go to the former site of the temple in Gur City, so he discussed it with everyone and split the troops into two groups.

Elhaisen felt that the Gilded Brigade believed that the Red King was killed by the Great Mercy Tree King. If Lin Ye could find information about the Red King at the former site of the Gul City Temple, it might play an unexpected role in the future.

Lin Ye packed up and set off alone.

Leaving Aru Village, head west through the lower wind erosion area and then head northwest.

With the map, Lin Ye is not a person with poor directions, so he can get the direction right. All that remains is to spend time and effort.

This time, Lin Ye went deep into the heart of the desert. Relying on the shining time, he followed the wind and walked as fast as lightning. He calculated the time from sunrise to sunset and walked for two weeks.

Wanting to see the ecological scenery of the desert, Lin Ye set up camp at night and did not stay in Chen Ge Hu.

Traveling alone in the desert is a dangerous thing. It not only tests whether one has sufficient supplies, but also requires one's firm will.

This is not a problem for Lin Ye at all. As for food, the desert environment is harsh, but the ecology still exists. There are cute little animals everywhere, such as flying snakes, sand foxes, red vultures, quicksand eels...

The meat of flying snakes is very tough, the sand fox still has a fishy smell even after roasting, the meat of red vultures tastes similar to chicken, and the quicksand eel tastes delicious, but unfortunately it is rare.

As for the mental state, a person's journey is not boring. Standing on the sand dunes, you can see the vast and boundless sea of sand. At dusk, the sky is full of stars and there is no light pollution. People are very close to the starry sky and can touch it. The wind is howling in the wilderness, and the scorpions lurking under the sand are shaking. You can feel the romance of nature in the forest and then regret why you didn't bring Shen He with you.

Maybe Lin Ye thought that [Aru's Old Dream] was his mission. If he entered some strange timeline, Shen He would have to wait for him for a long time, which would be lonely. It would be better for him to stay with Ying and Paimon.

Lin Ye learned by himself to identify the weather in the desert. Just by feeling a gust of wind, he knew whether the next one would be a gentle boom or a devastating sandstorm.

In addition, Lin Ye encountered many ruins and old sites. Magnificent palaces like the Hall of the Epiphany and the Temple of Mysteries were a minority. Most of them had broken walls exposed on the surface of the sand wall. They looked small, but perhaps they were extremely spectacular underground.

As Lin Ye hurried on, he thought about what the desert was like in the past, how strong and proud it must have been.

I don’t know how old the map Uncle Amp gave me is, but it doesn’t match the actual location. Lin Ye went out of the map and didn’t find the old site of Gul City. Instead, he found a tribal garrison of the Gilded Brigade.

"who!"

Scouts Mendas and Ugwe spotted Lin Ye and stood guard with guns.

"Lost traveler," Lin Ye, whose face was covered by a white robe, replied calmly with a young and gentle voice, "Can I ask for directions?"

"Traveler?"

Mendas and Ugwe looked at each other, then looked at Lin Ye's bag, which was empty without a backpack, and wondered.

"only you?"

"Yes."

"Take off your hat!"

Lin Ye patiently did as he was told, revealing a handsome face.

"You don't look like a scholar from the House of the Decrees, and you don't look like a foreigner. How did you run to the depths of the desert alone without water or food?" Mendas was not stupid and questioned.

"We encountered a sandstorm and all our supplies were lost. I am not only a traveler, but also an adventurer. I know a little bit of fighting and can protect myself." Lin Ye said.

"Can you tell me where this is?" Lin Ye asked sincerely.

Mendas looked up and down the forest. He didn't think the man was a spy sent by the enemy Gilded Brigade. He looked weak and timid, far from the big guy Asarig in the tribe.

“This is Tanit Campground.”

"By the way, you want to ask for directions, where are you going?"

"Do you know the old site of the Gul City Temple?"

When Mendas heard this, he was stunned for a moment, exchanged glances with Ugwe, and then looked at Lin Ye with scrutiny. He thought he had hidden well and was completely under Lin Ye's control.

"What do you do in a place like that?"

"Sightseeing check-in." Lin Ye said casually.

Mendas tilted his head, understanding the meaning of Lin Ye's words, and couldn't help but sneer on his face.

"You don't understand sand, stranger."

"so?"

"Get lost! We don't accept beggars at the Tanit campground!"

Lin Ye remained calm.

Looking at the reactions of the two Gilded Brigade members when they heard that he was going to the old site of Gur City, it seemed that they were hiding something. Lin Ye became interested, as the saying goes, it is easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away.

Tanit Campground had no idea what kind of being it had provoked.

If Lin Ye's deeds were made public, of killing gods and demons, and outsiders had never seen the person but only heard of his deeds, Lin Ye would probably be described as "like a demon sent down from the sky, truly a Tai Sui God on earth."

Just as Lin Ye was preparing to convince people with reason and persuade them to do good with virtue, a woman came into the Tanit campsite. She was Babel, the elder of the Tanit tribe.

"What's the noise?"

Mendas and Ugwe turned around and saw that it was Elder Babel, and they quickly bowed their heads in awe.

"To answer Elder Babel, it was a lost stranger who asked for directions. He asked how to get to the old site of the temple in Gur City."

"Oh?" Babel looked at Lin Ye deeply, and the latter looked at her calmly.

A person who dares to walk in the desert without feeling tired is not an ordinary person.

"It's not easy to walk to the old site of the temple in Gur City. The desert is vast and boundless. Meeting is fate. Let this stranger in and don't let him spread the word that we, the people of the sand, are rude and disrespectful." Babel said.

"…Yes."

Lin Ye looked at the woman named Babel with interest. She seemed to be an elder.

"What do you call it?"

"Linye."

"Would you like a glass of water?"

"I am thirsty indeed."

"Then come with me."

Lin Ye followed Babel into the Tanit campsite.

Chapter 610 You Are Not Worthy of Being My Master

Lin Ye walked side by side with Babel. While responding to Babel's nonchalant inquiries about his origins, he observed the Tanit campsite.

The Tanit campsite was built on the remains of a ruin. Judging from the statues and murals on the ruins, it belonged to a temple that believed in the Red King. After being eroded by wind and sand, the broken walls and ruins were exposed in the canyon. The members of the Gilded Brigade built a trestle to connect them.

Although it is an organization that cannot be underestimated among the desert tribes, the Tanit campsite still looks simple. Above the ruins is the residential area, where there are no houses but tents. On the river beach below, some members raise crown-of-thorns crocodiles.

Babel's tent has a spacious space, similar to a yurt, which is sheltered from wind and sand and can be used for sleeping and eating.

Water resources are undoubtedly precious resources in the desert. Aru Village is surrounded by rivers, and the Tanit campsite is also located in a place with abundant water resources, for both water use and (crocodile) fish breeding.
