26. The invisible ghost. The thief and the demigod(1/2)
In the deserted cage planet, Merlin and Pitro are hiding in an underground cave. The environment here is also very bad, without water, and even the air is filled with a sense of desolation and despair.
But at least it is much better than the world on the surface that has been completely covered by quicksand. The size of this world is much smaller than that of the earth. Through Merlin's observation, the area of this world may be only twice the size of North America, and it is an absolute small world.
After the invasion of wind and sand, Beowulf was obedient and turned back to his previous slim windbreaker. Merlin pulled his hair, took out the chair from his pocket, and sat at the entrance and exit of the cave. Icarus' lenses projected the picture sent back by the drone. In the wind and sand, these little guys made by Winston were very difficult to act, and the pictures they took were also very blurry.
Merlin's consciousness is also connected to the Raven Spirit Victor flying over the cage planet at an extremely fast speed. After his strength has grown to this point, the spiritual connection between him and Victor has been greatly expanded. As long as the magic power can support it, Victor can almost fly around the entire world leisurely.
"What the hell is a hive?"
Behind Merlin, Kuaiyin, who was naked, was shaking off the gravel in her clothes, and asked with an unhappy face:
"I just heard Crystal mention a few times, and it seems horrible?"
"That's the tyrant of the alien. You can understand it as a weaker evil god and does not have many special abilities."
Merlin maintained Victor's link at the same time and watched the picture uploaded by the glasses lenses, which was not a heavy burden for him, so he answered Kuaiyin's question.
"More than 3,000 years ago, the hive was exiled to this world. I guess there was still life in this world at that time, but now, look, there is only a desperate desert left here."
"It eats all living things in this world?"
Kuaiyin put on his clothes and sat cross-legged beside Meilin in a curious baby posture. He turned around and looked at the crystal placed on the other side of the cave. The beautiful girl who made him feel excited seemed to be asleep. She was no longer as full of energy as before, but the crystal during sleep also had a quieter temperament.
"Don't you eat it."
Merlin said:
"As far as I know, the hive does not have the habit of being human, but you can understand it this way. Anyway, it has lived for more than 3,000 years and must have been plundering life. As for the way of plunder, I don't think you would want to see it with your own eyes."
"You seem to know a lot?"
Pitro plucked his cool silver-gray hair, and he looked at Merlin and said:
"What the hell are you doing?"
"This is confidential."
Merlin glanced at Kuaiyin and said:
"I don't know much. I basically heard it from Yi Ren, and I doubt that even Yi Ren is not omniscient and omnipotent in his knowledge of the hive. These rumors may be somewhat fallacy. After all, 3,000 years have passed, and many stories have become legends, and legends have been regarded as myths. It's really bad."
He was like deliberately scaring young people to the silver, he said slowly:
"Also, I have something to tell you, Kuaiyin kid. The hive will not parasitic in aliens, so if we encounter that guy, crystal is not dangerous, but you and I will be treated as food by it. Well, seeing that you are so tender and delicious, maybe it will eat you first and then eat me."
"whispering sound."
Kuaiyin curled his lips disdainfully, and he said:
"Do you think I'll be scared? And even if I encounter it, I can run. You are definitely not as fast as me."
"hehe"
Merlin's fingers whipped on the black bracelet of his wrist, and he said:
"That's not necessarily."
Perhaps because of Merlin's sinister tone, Kuaiyin couldn't help but say:
"This world is so big, we may find a safe place. I mean, stay away from that evil god."
"It would be great if it was that simple."
Merlin's expression became a little serious, and he whispered:
"The legendary hive can survive in the form of a parasite. If the legend is true, it means it can appear in many corners of the world at the same time. I even suspect that it is now in the air around us, watching us, waiting for the opportunity to not move!"
Meilin suddenly shouted, causing Kuaiyin's body, who was looking around, to remain silent.
The young man was motionless, and he looked at Meilin stretching out his hand, manipulating the floating black mist, and pinched something out of his silver-gray hair.
It was a strange bug, very small and invisible to the naked eye. Merlin relied on the visual amplification of spiritual vision and Icarus to barely capture its figure. The thing was beating in the black fog and was burned clean by the flames ignited from the inside.
"I can't be sure if the bug is a hive, but I can't stay here anymore."
Merlin stood up, and a ray of scorching hell fire rubbed against his skin and flowed all over his body, like a bath of flames. In front of him, Kuaiyin also passed the baptism of flames. The young man finally knew that Merlin was helping him "disinfect" him, but the beating of the scorching flame still made him feel creepy.
At the moment when the fire of hell disappeared, Merlin said to Kuaiyin with a serious expression:
"Bring the crystals and let's go!"
"ha!"
In the long yellow sand, Ms. Diana, who covered her face with a face towel to block the wind and sand, waved her sword and scattered the strange white bone crawling out from under the desert in front of her.
Just like the mantra lasso on her belt, the long sword in the hand of the female demigod was not an ordinary thing.
The ancient Greek long sword in her hand was called "Sword of Fire God". It is a sharp sword made by the Greek legendary Fire God and the skilled craftsman Hephaestus. It is extremely sharp and extremely strong. It is extended by the divine power in Diana's body. This sharp blade can also cover the energy like flames.
In the sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun, Diana slashed and killed the dead bones that were constantly recovering with standard chopping. Any bones she cut down would be ignited by scorching divine power and turned into ashes and drifted with the wind.
These dead bones are not threatening. Even if Diana stands still and lets them attack, they cannot harm the female demigod. But the real problem is not these fragile dead bones, but the weird guys hiding in the wind and sand.
It's like a demon shadow that follows you like a shadow.
When Diana fell in this world, she felt an indescribable sense of evil staring at her.
This is the intuition of the demigod. In previous battles, this intuition has saved Diana many times.
Diana was standing among the flying yellow sand with a sword and shield in her hand. She looked around vigilantly, not knowing whether it was an auditory hallucination. She even heard a low, faint laughter.
"Evil thing!"
Demigod is not unfamiliar with this situation. During World War I, she entered the human world for the first time to fight against her evil brother, Ares, the god of war among the Greek gods, she also experienced very similar scenes.
She knew how to protect herself in the face of such a hiding bastard.
The female demigod hung the sword of the Fire God at her waist and carried the divine shield behind her. She raised her arms and collided with the silver bracelets on her arms as the wind and sand were swept.
"boom"
The light of divine power, the blue lightning-like lightning, churned out from the sparks of the collision of silver bracelets, just like Merlin burning parasites with the fire of hell. In the dancing, violent, and powerful lightning flames with strong purification power, the invisible parasites on Diana's body were also swept away by the washing of energy.
The explosion of the demigod power was very powerful. The dancing lightning rushed into the sky, gathering the rotating sand and dust. As the heavy sand and soil fell back to the ground, the haze in the desert was briefly dispelled.
The hive is terrifying, it can parasitize any life at will, but this does not mean that its evil abilities can also work for a true demigod.
"Woooooo"
At the moment when the sand and dust were gone, Diana heard a raven's roar in a trance. She raised her head and saw a strange huge raven composed of dark red energy, gathering its wings and landing on the rocks in the desert in front of her.
This is a spirit body!
It's so rare that such a pure spiritual body can be seen in this damn, desolate world.
Although in the eyes of some mortals, ravens mean unknown, Ms. Diana likes this life that symbolizes courage. The spirit raven looks at her with her head tilted, as if she is identifying her identity.
Diana took a step forward wearing a sword and shield. She looked at the beautiful spirit body in front of her, which looked like red jade. She stretched out her hand and tried to touch it.
But the next moment, a sound that made Diana grit her teeth came from the raven's mouth.
"Hey, don't touch my bird, ma'am, it doesn't like being touched by strangers."
"It's you! The thief!"
As a half-body, Diana has a very good memory. She clearly remembers every guy who has provoked her. At the moment when Merlin's voice sounded, Diana waved a punch and hit the spirit raven in front of her.
Victor made an innocent scream, flapping his wings, and avoiding the demigod's punch.
That scream seemed to be saying
Why do you vent your grudges with me?
"Calm down, Ms. Diana."
Through Victor's eyes, Merlin finally confirmed that the falling demigod in front of him was indeed the Greek Valkyrie who was sent to the moon by Gugu a year ago.
Alas, this world is big and small. There are so many people on the earth, why do you throw her into this world?
"We can talk about the things between us later. I mean we can talk slowly after we return to Earth."
Merlin's voice was transmitted to the female demigod's ears through the raven, and he said in a low tone:
"You feel it too, right? That guy hiding in the wind and sand"
"Um."
Diana is not reckless. She has experienced many battles and has long known that when necessary, she needs to let go of her own prejudices and cooperate with others.
She said to the raven in front of her:
"It's annoying, like a complete villain, who only knows to hide in the dark and peek. It can control some parasites and attack others in the wind and sand. It's very small and hardly visible. I suspect that the bug is its carrier, but those bugs are ineffective against me. You have to be careful."
"I discovered this too, Crystal and Quick Silver are with me, Madam, follow Victor, and it will bring you to me and I have something to discuss with you."
"Tell me."
Ms. Diana took a quick step and followed the raven in front of her, running in the endless desert of ruins. Even in the violent running, her tone was still calm, she asked:
"What's the matter? Are you planning to find a way out?"
"No, it's just a small problem to leave here."
Merlin said to Diana in a spiritual link:
To be continued...
