The last building on earth

He did not expect that one of the three people surrounded by a group of sand scorpions would be Xiao Bichen from "Phoenix".

Regarding the incident in the tavern last night, Xiao Bichen, as one of the five patrol captains, had been to the tavern before, and what he said was fairly fair. Some of his words even seemed to Wang Xuan to be biased in favor of him, so Wang Xuan was She had a good impression, but she didn't expect to see her in Scorpion City today.

In addition to Xiao Bichen, the other three people surrounded were also wearing "Phoenix" badges. One was a man about 27 or 28 years old. He was very handsome and had a full set of third-level alloy equipment. , covered with a mechanical shell, obviously in the state of merging with the mechanical beast. He held a very small-looking silver ax in his right hand, only half a foot long. The other man was about thirty-one or twelve years old, with darker skin and a surface There are some craters, and the right hand holds a huge shield made of rocks.

Wang Xuan understood that the three of them were all powerful men in the "Phoenix". It seemed that they left the town together today and entered the Scorpion City to hunt monsters. Unexpectedly, they were besieged by more than a dozen sand scorpions at once. Even if they were strong, I also felt it was difficult.

The man with slightly black knees roared violently, and smashed out the giant rock shield held in his right hand. The shell of a sand scorpion that rushed towards him shattered. It could not withstand the rock shield's blow, and another sand scorpion The scorpion's barbs were thrown out like lightning. He had no time to dodge, and his back was caught by the barbs.

The man groaned, Xiao Bichen waved her right hand, and with a flash of light, the spear she held in her right hand appeared, and she picked it on the barb. The terrible force vibrated, breaking the barb, and the spear stabbed out. Stab it into the open mouthparts of this sand scorpion and stab it all the way to the end.

"Brother Zhang, Li Hao, I'm going to use the 'Explosive Crystal' to break out, you guys cooperate with me!"

Xiao Bichen let out a soft drink, turned his left hand and took out an explosive crystal.

"Okay!" The handsome man was Li Hao. He responded and retreated to Xiao Bichen. They waited for Xiao Bichen to throw the explosive crystal and they broke out together.

At this moment, Xiao Bichen let out a sigh and noticed Wang Xuan, who was rapidly approaching them in the distance.

When she saw Wang Xuan, Xiao Bichen had a look of surprise in her eyes. She didn't seem to expect to see Wang Xuan here. She originally wanted to throw the explosive crystal, but now she saw Wang Xuan and changed her mind.

With a muffled groan, blood splattered on Li Hao's left arm as he retreated to her left. He was clamped by the forelimbs of a sand scorpion. His eyes widened and he swung the silver ax he held in his right hand, and a silver light swept across like a sword. He came out and cut the sand scorpion's head open.

As Wang Xuan continued to approach, two of the sand scorpions besieging them immediately turned around and rushed toward the approaching Wang Xuan.

Two metal tentacles extended out from his right hand. Wang Xuan knew that the sand scorpion was difficult to deal with and it was difficult to kill him instantly with his current strength, so he borrowed a little energy from the blue crystal scales. A blue shimmer appeared in the metal tentacles. There were two crisp sounds, and the two metal tentacles containing a bit of blue crystal scale energy were swung out with increased speed and power. The two sand scorpions that rushed towards them had no time to react, and their heads were blown off in an instant, killing them immediately.

Two white scales appeared and sank into Wang Xuan's right hand.

Except for Xiao Bichen, Li Hao and Brother Zhang all looked shocked.

Being able to instantly kill a five-star sand scorpion is something that is simply not possible in a perfect state. How powerful must the young man in front of him be?

Xiao Bichen had seen Wang Xuan's skills last night. He could break Liu Ming's limbs and repel Chen Daolin, who was at the peak of his strength. It was not surprising that he could kill Sand Scorpion instantly now.

After killing these two sand scorpions, the remaining sand scorpions were slightly confused, and several of them turned around to fight Wang Xuan.

Xiao Bichen and Li Hao immediately felt the pressure lighten. She let out a scream, put away the explosive crystal, and the spear in her right hand shook and spun at high speed, producing a terrifying penetrating force. From a sand scorpion, The body passed through it, and yellow juice came out from the other side.

Wang Xuan controlled the metal tentacles and killed two sand scorpions again. Xiao Bichen and Li Hao fought back with all their strength and also killed three sand scorpions. Most of the dozen sand scorpions died, and the remaining sand scorpions began to turn around and flee. It quickly disappeared among the dilapidated buildings around it.

No one chased the fleeing sand scorpions. Li Hao and Brother Zhang were both injured. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious. With their strength, these injuries could be healed quickly. Wang Xuan noticed that among the three, only Xiao Bichen was not injured. It seems that among the three, she is the strongest.

Xiao Bichen looked at Wang Xuan, nodded to him, showed a smile, and said: "Thank you for the help, otherwise we would be in trouble today."

Wang Xuandao: "It is not difficult for three people to kill these sand scorpions with their strength. I killed four of them when I passed by. Wouldn't the three of them be surprised?"

When Brother Zhang heard this, he laughed and said: "Brother, you are really good at talking. It's obviously you who helped us, but you are afraid that we will be offended. By the way, my name is Zhang Taixiong, this is Xiao Bichen, and this is Li Hao, I don't know What do you call me, brother?"

Just as Wang Xuan was about to state his name, Xiao Bichen looked at Zhang Taixiong with a smile and said, "Brother Zhang, this is Wang Xuan who became famous in the battle in the tavern last night."

Zhang Taixiong and Li Hao were both surprised and shouted together: "Wang Xuan?"

Zhang Taixiong nodded and laughed: "No wonder, when did such a powerful person appear in Chong Town again? It turns out you are Wang Xuan, yes, wearing a black bracelet, so young, so powerful, and only Wang Xuan, the blockbuster member of the 'Xuan Gang', meets this standard."

Wang Xuan was a little embarrassed by their praise and said: "I'm not that powerful. You three are busy, so I won't disturb you." He was about to say goodbye and leave, continuing to go deeper.

Zhang Taixiong said hurriedly: "Brother Wang, please wait a moment."

"Huh?" Wang Xuan stopped and looked at him.

Zhang Taixiong said: "Brother, is this your first time entering Scorpion City?"

Wang Xuan nodded.

Zhang Taixiong's face was a little solemn and he said: "The situation in Scorpion City is very complicated. It is far from comparable to the Snake Domain or Centipede Island. Even if we reach the ultimate state, we don't dare to go deep here alone. I see you alone, and I know that you are sure It’s my first time here.”

Wang Xuandao: "It seems that this Scorpion City must be extremely dangerous." He thought that Zhang Taixiong and Gongsun Xiaoyan of the "Xuan Gang" had warned him about the dangers of Scorpion City. It seems that this Scorpion City might be more dangerous than he imagined. Even more dangerous.

Zhang Taixiong smiled and said: "With the strength of Brother Wang, there is no need to be afraid of the ordinary monsters in Scorpion City. The main reason is that almost no one dares to enter Scorpion City alone. Usually it is a few people together. Brother Wang is still powerful, so I can't bear it." Just be curious and ask."

Xiao Bichen suddenly said: "How about the four of us joining forces? I think we can try that task."

As soon as she said this, Wang Xuan, Zhang Taixiong and Li Hao were all startled. Zhang Taixiong's eyes immediately lit up and said: "This is really worth trying. Although we are fully prepared this time, we are still not absolutely sure. , if we can invite Brother Wang to join us, and the four of us join forces, it should be almost the same."

Li Hao frowned slightly and stood aside without speaking. Most of the time, he looked at Xiao Bichen silently, with a faint admiration in his eyes. Obviously, he was interested in Xiao Bichen.

Seeing Wang Xuan's confusion, Xiao Bichen explained: "I got a bronze treasure chest before. I was lucky enough to get a piece of parchment. This parchment does not record a general task, but a rare task."

"This kind of rare mission is very rare. The rewards are much higher than ordinary missions. Of course, it will also be very difficult. The address is in Scorpion City. I asked Brother Zhang and Li Hao to work with me. Although I was fully prepared, I still felt that I was not completely sure. , if you are willing to join us, the four of us can definitely do it together."

When Xiao Bichen said this, his eyes glowed and he looked at Wang Xuan expectantly.

Wang Xuan didn't expect that in addition to various tasks, there were also rare tasks, and he was a little curious about it. However, he came to Scorpion City mainly to hunt down five-star monsters and absorb enough energy, hoping to break through the perfection state and go further. .

Seeing Wang Xuan's hesitation, Zhang Taixiong immediately said: "Brother Wang, let's come together. Firstly, we can try this rare mission. If completed, everyone will get rewards. Secondly, it will not delay us from hunting monsters and obtaining the energy we need." "

He knew that Wang Xuan came to Scorpion City for the first time, and his main purpose must be to absorb the energy needed for growth. This sentence might be able to impress Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan was slightly moved when he heard what he said, but he did not agree immediately. He said, "What is this rare mission? Can I see it first?"

It's not that he doesn't trust the three people in front of him, but it's better to be cautious and guard against others.

"Of course." Xiao Bichen was very happy and immediately took out a piece of parchment from his storage belt and handed it to Wang Xuan.

Seeing that she trusted him very much, Wang Xuan felt slightly moved. He took the parchment and unfolded it to see a few lines of words on it.

"Task name: The Secret of Scorpion City, difficulty: unknown."

"This is a rare mission. Find the secret of Scorpion City. If you unlock this secret, you will get a mysterious treasure."

Then there is the map of Scorpion City. There is a red line on the map, which represents the route of this mission.

"Unlock the secret and obtain the mysterious treasure?" Wang Xuan frowned. The reward for this rare mission was not a treasure box, but a treasure. Since it can be called a treasure, one can imagine how generous the reward is.

After returning the parchment to Xiao Bichen, Wang Xuan also became curious about this rare mission and mysterious treasure, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Wang Xuan agreed, Xiao Bichen looked excited and said, "Then we will set off immediately. With you joining us, the four of us will definitely be able to complete this task."

Zhang Taixiong also laughed and said: "That's natural. With the four of us working together, we can complete even a six-star difficulty task. There will definitely be no problem in completing this task."

Xiao Bichen looked at the red route on the map, compared it with the dilapidated buildings around him, pointed to the far left, and said, "Do you see a huge stone pillar there? Let's go in that direction."

Wang Xuan saw that there was indeed a giant stone pillar standing in the distance. Although part of it collapsed, what remained was still more than ten or twenty meters high. From a distance, one could feel the majesty of this stone pillar.

"Let's go." Zhang Taixiong raised his rock shield with his right hand and ran towards the left first.

Xiao Bichen and Wang Xuan followed closely. Li Hao said nothing, but fell behind with the silver ax in his hand.

Li Hao didn't speak from beginning to end. In Wang Xuan's opinion, this man was relatively taciturn.

The four of them were all in a state of merging with the mechanical beasts. There were double layers of defense on the surface of their bodies. The four of them were very fast, flying towards the distance at full speed. Soon there was a rustling sound all around again, and seven sand scorpions appeared and headed towards them. They gathered around.

"Kill!" Zhang Taixiong let out a low roar. With Wang Xuan joining the team, and their three masters, even though these seven sand scorpions had a five-star danger level, they were not enough to watch.

With a "bang", Zhang Taixiong collided head-on with a sand scorpion that was rushing towards him. The rock shield glowed faintly. He lifted the rock shield and smashed it down hard, immediately cracking the sand scorpion's hard shell. .

Li Hao swayed, and the silver ax in his hand swung out a ray of silver light, hitting another sand scorpion that rushed towards him.

Wang Xuan saw that among the three Xiao Bichen, Xiao Bichen was the strongest. She held a white spear in her right hand. The spear was vibrating with white energy. As long as the sand scorpion touched this concussion, its shell would Then it started to shatter.

Although the three of them do not have the strength of Wang Xuan to instantly kill Sand Scorpion, in terms of combat power, each of them is much stronger than Sand Scorpion in a one-on-one situation.

Wang Xuan still controlled the metal tentacles, borrowing a trace of blue crystal scale energy to instantly kill the sand scorpion and harvest energy.

Soon seven sand scorpions were killed by four people. Wang Xuan killed three by himself, and Xiao Bichen killed four by three.

The four of them did not stop and continued to fly towards the giant stone pillar in the distance. They were attacked by two sand scorpions in succession. Fortunately, the number of sand scorpions that appeared was not many. One was six sand scorpions, and the other was nine sand scorpions. Scorpions, the four of them killed all of these sand scorpions fairly easily.

After killing the nine sand scorpions, Zhang Taixiong stopped, laughed and said, "Sure enough, it's different when Brother Wang joins the team. It's much easier to kill these guys."

Wang Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhang can't praise you anymore. If you praise me any more, I'll be really proud."

"Haha." Zhang Taixiong laughed and said, "I fell in love with you at first sight. If you don't dislike it, how about we go to the pub to have a few drinks after this trip?"

Wang Xuan nodded and said: "Of course, I will invite you when the time comes."

Zhang Taixiong immediately said with a straight face, "What are you talking about? Of course I'm asking you to do this, so don't be polite to me."

Wang Xuan saw that the Tainan in this chapter had a bold personality and liked him very much, so he smiled and nodded. At this moment, he heard the faint sound of fighting in the distance, and immediately turned his head and looked to the other side.

Xiao Bichen and Zhang Taixiong also heard it and looked over. They saw several figures appearing about a kilometer away from them. A group of sand scorpions appeared and surrounded them. The two sides immediately started fighting.

"It seems they are Rakshasa people... let's go." Xiao Bichen glanced at it from a distance, thinking that Rakshasa and Wang Xuan would not deal with it, and immediately continued running towards the giant stone pillar.

Wang Xuan knew that many of the five major forces had a lot of powerful people practicing in Scorpion City. He was very familiar with these Rakshasa people. They should be the people who had been staying in Scorpion City in the past few days. They were probably all still there. I don't know about the conflict between myself and Rakshasa.

The four of them did not stop for too long and continued to run towards the giant stone pillar in the distance. They were not attacked by sand scorpions or other monsters along the way. Ten minutes later, they stopped. Not far in front of them, there was A huge broken stone pillar stands.

In addition to this stone pillar, there were several other stone pillars of similar thickness, but these stone pillars almost completely fell down, leaving only the base of the stone pillar less than one meter high on the ground.

Between these stone pillars, some broken walls can still be seen in the yellow sand, but because they are so badly damaged, it is difficult to see what this building once looked like.

"Looking at these stone pillars and walls, it seems that this place was once a huge palace or temple." Xiao Bichen opened the parchment in his hand while observing, with a look of surprise on his face.

Wang Xuan nodded and said: "It does look a bit like it. If it is really a palace or something like that, the size of this palace is not small and it can be said to be quite grand."

A partially broken stone pillar is still more than ten or twenty meters high. If the palace were intact, it would be magnificent.

Zhang Taixiong looked around and said: "Speaking of which, this Scorpion City should have been a huge ancient city, but now it is occupied by these scorpion monsters, so it is called Scorpion City. I don't know what it was called before."

Wang Xuandao: "The rare mission we are going to do this time is to find the secret of Scorpion City. I just don't know what secrets are hidden in Scorpion City. It may or may not be related to the past of Scorpion City."

Xiao Bichen looked at the parchment, raised his head after hearing Wang Xuan's words, and said: "You are so right. The secret we are looking for is really related to the past of this Scorpion City. It is said that this place was once a temple for worshiping gods. Temple, there is a secret about God hidden under this temple, we need to find the entrance to the temple basement first."

Wang Xuan was startled, the secret of God?

As she spoke, she walked forward and looked for the direction of the underground entrance to the temple based on the map mark above. Soon, she stopped at the base of one of the stone pillars.

"Is this here?" Li Hao, who had been silent for a long time, finally asked.

Xiao Bichen hummed and said: "According to the reference objects drawn on the map, it is about three meters away from the base of this stone pillar in this direction..."

As she spoke, she moved sideways to the right, quickly determined the direction, stepped lightly with her foot, and said, "This is it."

Zhang Taixiong said: "Okay, let's see if there is an entrance below." With a wave of his right hand, the rock shield in his hand changed and quickly became much thinner, like a shovel, shoveling towards the yellow sand below.

A large amount of yellow sand was shoveled away with one shovel. Zhang Taixiong quickly cleared away the covered yellow sand. Wang Xuan saw a stone slab exposed under the yellow sand. The stone slab was engraved with complex patterns. Zhang Taixiong immediately knocked it with his hand. Knock and listen to the echo. The bottom should be solid and there should be no hollow echo.

"Is this really the entrance? It doesn't look like there is a basement or something like that down there." Zhang Taixiong had a puzzled look on his face.

Wang Xuan thought that when he reached the highest point on Centipede Island, in order to open the passage to the bottom, he had tried the huge rock at that time. It was indeed solid, but according to the records in the Book of Giants, after opening the seal, the center of the huge rock A downward passage appeared.

So in this world, we simply cannot apply our previous experiences.

Xiao Bichen said: "I don't know either. According to the record, blood is needed to smear these patterns. The tasks recorded on this parchment have never been wrong. Since it is recorded in this way, it must make sense."

She was about to cut her finger, but Li Hao on the other side had already cut the palm of his left hand with the silver ax in his right hand. Blood immediately poured out, and he stretched his left hand in front of Xiao Bichen.

Xiao Bichen glanced at him, put his hand on the palm of his left hand with blood, and began to smear on the patterns below according to the records on the parchment.

Wang Xuan watched silently. He finally saw that Li Hao was probably interested in Xiao Bichen.

The patterns on the stone slabs on the ground looked very complicated and messy. Xiao Bichen only selected a few of them to apply. When she applied six patterns, it seemed as if some mechanism or seal had been touched. The six patterns shook slightly. The blood smeared on it immediately seeped into it, and then silently, the stone slab sank, revealing a square entrance with a side length of about one meter and a half.

"There really is an entrance. I knocked it before and it's clear that it's solid." Zhang Taixiong murmured, with an incomprehensible look on his face.

Xiao Bichen put away the parchment and immediately took out a crystal from her storage belt. She rubbed it on the surface and the crystal glowed. She held the luminous crystal and shined it into the entrance.

Wang Xuan stood aside and looked inside intently with the help of the light of the spar.

Looking down from the entrance, you can see that there is an underground space below, about three meters deep, surrounded by walls, and you can see a door on one of the walls. Other than that, there is nothing else.

Xiao Bichen was very cautious and did not go down rashly. Instead, he released the combined state with the mechanical beast and put his own mechanical horse in first.

This mechanical horse entered it, patrolled around, and then stepped on its metal hooves, making a crisp sound.

"There's no danger, let's go down and take a look."

Xiao Bichen then took the lighting crystal and jumped down from the entrance, followed by Wang Xuan, Zhang Taixiong and Li Hao one after another.

Wang Xuan fell below and saw that the length and width of the basement were about ten meters. The space was relatively spacious. It was surrounded by stone walls, and there was a stone door on one of the walls.

This stone door is not small, almost reaching the top in height and two meters in width.

Xiao Bichen took out the parchment again, looked at it, and said, "The map on it has changed again. You need to enter this stone door."

As she spoke, she walked towards the stone door. Under her instructions, the one-horned horse rushed to the stone door first. It lightly bumped it with its horn, and the stone door suddenly opened inwards. Almost at the same moment, an afterimage appeared, Hit the unicorn hard.

"Zai Zai!" Xiao Bichen was startled and cried out. This Zai Zai was the name she gave to the unicorn horse.

When the unicorn received this blow, the mechanical shell on its head immediately shattered, and then it was hit by the black shadow that appeared in the stone door, and flew back directly in the air.

The sudden incident shocked everyone. Li Hao and Zhang Taixiong reacted quickly, dodging left and right to avoid the falling unicorn. Wang Xuan stretched out his right hand, and metal tentacles extended from his right hand to protect him in front of him. , looking towards the stone door.

There is only one update today, I will try to update more tomorrow
