The Real Sandlais

Although the wind was strong and the wall was slippery, the three of them still climbed to the top without any danger.

And when Cheng Shi jumped from the edge of the cliff and stood on the ground at the top of the cliff, he finally knew why Sandlais was called a dumping ground for experimental waste, because here......

It was originally a garbage pit, a huge ice cave that looked like an abyss!

The location where the three were was the only land in this ice cave; this land was surrounded by rift valleys, and opposite the rift valleys was another ring-shaped cliff wall towering into the sky; they looked up at the sky like sitting in a well looking at the sky, and looked down at the abyss like duckweed in mid-air; the howling cold wind penetrated from top to bottom, spraying out from the unreachable "skylight" and the "darkness" that could not be peered into.

Scanning with his eyes, everything here seemed to be frozen by solid ice; countless huge ice prisms were inserted obliquely, dividing the entire town into many areas.

Yes, there really was a town here, but at this time the town looked almost uninhabited; countless experimental waste and building ruins were frozen in the ice prisms, painting this land with a rather grey-white color in this blue icy world.

At a glance, this place was more than just abandoned; it was simply a dead land!

The biting wind blades seemed to have wiped out all vitality, but it was on this seemingly desperate land, in this town that was not suitable for living at all, that the three of them found a firelight.

And that only glimmer of firelight was the end point where the traces under their feet spread.

"It seems our goal is very clear; let's go, I hope we can find some clues there."

Cheng Shi today seemed to pay great attention to efficiency; he didn't dwell too much on the misunderstanding with Squinty Old Zhang earlier and walked forward directly.

However, Zhang Jizu didn't rush to walk, but threw the corpse he had put away earlier on the ground and said to Cheng Shi:

"Where is your brooch? Ask it and see what it knows."

Cheng Shi paused his steps, turned his head, rolled his eyes, and said: "Why, are you sure it's me?"

"Only when you can ask it out can I be sure if it's you." The squinty-eyed man was very rigorous.

"Then I refuse; if even you have to use this kind of external prop to confirm my identity, I think identifying identity has lost its meaning."

But Cheng Shi didn't leave; instead, he took out a brooch, held it in his hand, showed it to the two people in front of him with his hands behind his back, and said with a dark face:

"However, in order to accelerate the trial process, I still have to ask it.

But I won't let you see the brooch, Squinty, Old, Zhang!"

After speaking, a blue-green entangled light fell on the corpse, but the corpse had no movement and refused the "visit" of this light.

The effect of the brooch failed, and for a moment, the scene became awkward.

"I think He might need to study these things more."

Cheng Shi's mouth twitched, he took back the brooch, and walked toward the direction of the firelight in a bad mood.

Zhang Jizu raised an eyebrow, took back the corpse again, followed the other party's pace silently, and Watching Ai Si did the same; before long, they walked to the dilapidated residential house swaying with firelight.

But just as they were about to approach, Cheng Shi stopped moving.

He sensed that there was someone inside, so he took out his scalpel and refused to take another step forward.

Zhang Jizu frowned, and the position where he stopped was even three steps behind Cheng Shi.

Watching Ai Si, this believer of 【War】, didn't keep up with the rhythm of the two at all; seeing the two stop suddenly, she frowned, dragged her giant blade forward a few steps, and asked back curiously: "Why don't you walk?"

Cheng Shi saw that the other party's position had exceeded his own, his face changed, and he pointed at the room and shouted: "Careful!"

Watching Ai Si's face sank; she didn't even think about it and slashed backward; only hearing a "boom," the house in front of the three was cut off by half for no reason, revealing the fire basin in the room that was instantly blown out by the strong wind, and a rough-faced man who screamed and fell to the ground.

"Don't kill me! I didn't find anything!"

Find, find what?

Seeing that there was no more danger around, Cheng Shi and Zhang Jizu stepped forward one after another and took over the situation again.

Seeing this, Watching Ai Si finally realized that she had been used as a gun, scouting a path for these two steady brothers.

Come on...... was it necessary for you two?

One Chosen of 【Death】 who could keep himself from dying, and one peak priest who had killed all sides in the 0221 experimental field, needed a 2400 Supervisor to scout a path for you when encountering a small broken house!?

Is this reasonable?

Watching Ai Si's protest was naturally ignored; Cheng Shi smiled, lifted the man in the cotton-padded jacket in front of him, and got straight to the point:

"Who are you, where did you come from, and what are you looking for? I'll only give you one chance."

The man trembled like chaff; seeing that the people in front of him were unfamiliar, he answered stutteringly:

"My name is Han Mo; I'm a scavenger just like you, no, no, I'm different from you lords; I just wanted to come down to find something to survive, not to find divine fragments.

I don't want to become a god, I just want to live!"

"Divine fragments?"

The three players heard this, their expressions different; Zhang Jizu squinted slightly and looked at Watching Ai Si, his eyes meaningful; Watching Ai Si turned her head quietly, a trace of imperceptible strangeness flashing in her eyes.

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and was happy: "You mean there are divine fragments on this ruin of Sandlais?"

"Ah? You lords aren't here to find divine fragments, then why did you jump down?"

"Jump down?"

Zhang Jizu looked up at the abyss cave entrance that was high and invisible.

"The jumping down you mentioned, do you mean jumping down from up there?"

Han Mo nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, scavengers all jump down from up there, but most people are here to find the secret method to become a god, but I'm not; I was being hunted up there and couldn't survive, so I came down to find a way to live."

The three were extremely confused; at this height, even if a player jumped down, they would probably be dead or disabled; how did these so-called scavengers land safely?

Watching Ai Si was the first to ask this question; Han Mo was stunned and blinked:

"You didn't jump down?

Strange, the lord is right; about nine out of ten who jump down die; dying in this Sandlais is still considered good; the most terrible thing is falling into the abyss below; they say it connects to the demon's lair; if you fall down, life is worse than death.

Those who didn't die, like me, were because they encountered huge wind swirls during the fall, which unloaded the power of the fall and threw us to the ground.

They say that if you want to become a god, jumping down alive is the first test; it tests the courage to face 【Death】 and the good luck of being watched by the gods.

But even so, those who come down alive are basically all injured.

Fortunately, there is enough experimental waste here, and finding something to restore life can heal yourself.

It's just that the side effects in the waste are too great; many people mutate as they eat......"

"Waste...... divinity......" Cheng Shi and Zhang Jizu looked at each other, thinking of the same thing, "You mean, divine fragments are actually in this experimental waste?"

"I don't know, don't hit me, I really don't know.

I just came not long ago; you can see that I live here, which shows that I have no qualifications to approach the central area; only those old scavengers in the central area who have lived here for many years know what secrets are buried here.

People like us who just fell down...... can only ensure survival first before thinking about other things."

As he spoke, Han Mo looked pitifully at his house that had been cut to pieces and was about to cry.

"I spent ten days finding this house......"

"......" Cheng Shi curled his lips, turned his head, and threw the pot to Watching Ai Si, "Why did you cut people's houses for no reason?"

Watching Ai Si was stunned: "???"

"What are you staring at? You didn't cut it? Why, not convinced, want to fight?"

Cheng Shi sneered, took out a scalpel, and threatened: "Guess if my knife is faster, or your healing spell is faster?"

Watching Ai Si's giant blade, which had been raised to mid-air, stalled; thinking of Cheng Shi's legendary terrifying combat power, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and put the giant blade down again.

I won't suffer the immediate loss.

Seeing Watching Ai Si suffer a setback, Cheng Shi chuckled, left Han Mo behind, and continued walking forward.

"Let's go, Old Zhang, we have to accelerate; before those two dog things arrive, we must understand this place as soon as possible.

Don't forget, we might still have a mysterious pioneer in front of us."

As long as someone opened the path, the squinty-eyed man would naturally not refuse to follow, so the three of them soon disappeared into the snow again.

And after the three left, Han Mo, who had lost his home and was crying on the ground in the snow, suddenly stopped moving, stood up, shed his disguise, and slowly turned into a Cheng Shi wearing a trench coat.

"Interesting, if this is the person I thought of, then who would the other one be?"

The trench coat-wearing Cheng Shi pondered for a moment, dug out the real Han Mo buried on the side of the house, threw him on the ground, and then followed silently in the direction the three had left.
