An hour later, Fang Yu returned to the surface of the sea.
By this time, he had learned from the Blue Crow about the time of the appearance of this ancestral land and the basic situation afterwards.
“It’s one-way in, and there’s no coming back out. And that fire silkworm from the clan who escaped only to die was mentioned separately… People…” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered as he looked at the surging light before him.
Standing here, the feeling of unease is even more pronounced.
“Whoosh!”
He soon entered the light.
In the instant he passed through the light, he felt a sense of relief wash over him.
A force of spatial law enveloped him.
“Zeng!”
Fang Yu only felt a flash of strong light in front of his eyes.
When his vision began to return, his feet were already planted on solid ground.
“Hum…”
The light before him gradually faded.
Fang Yu found himself in a vast desert.
All that could be seen was yellow sand, and the sky had taken on the dim yellow of the setting sun.
At a glance, it stretches endlessly.
On the desert, besides rolling sand dunes, there was nothing to be seen.
Fang Yu looked around, releasing his divine sense and spreading it outward.
Within a radius of ten miles, all that lay within sight was before his eyes.
No significant abnormalities were found.
But, about five kilometers out to the north on the ground, he saw clear footprints.
These footprints are scattered and numerous, evidently marching northwards.
“Could it be the team that entered here before?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, “Why didn’t they choose to fly with their qi, but walk on this sand instead?”
“Whoosh!”
Fang Yu didn’t think too much, and flew directly to the location where the footprints were.
He was incredibly fast, reaching the footprints in a moment and landing on the sandy ground.
When Fang Yu stood before the footprints, he suddenly realized that something was amiss.
Footprints themselves are perfectly normal and look very much like those left by humans wearing shoes.
Although messy, the footprints are not complete, seeming to be only half of a footprint.
And, it’s only the footprints from the first half.
Why is this? <<<
Fang Yu frowned and followed the footprints forward.
Then, he suddenly tiptoed forward.
At this time, the footprints he left behind were very similar to the ones in front of him.
“Why are you walking on your tiptoes? That’s too slow.” Fang Yu frowned even tighter.
He crouched down and reached out to touch the footprints.
Only then did he realize that the footprints were incredibly solid, not like something freshly made.
These are not just recent footprints, they could be from many years ago!
“Such a vast desert, and only here are there footprints left…” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, looking in the direction the footprints led.
Ahead still stretched the endless desert.
Fang Yu thought for a moment, then followed the footprints and quickly moved forward.
He wanted to see where this trail of footprints would eventually lead him.
Whoosh…
On the road ahead, footprints continued to appear, but fewer and fewer with each step.
With the desert flanking him, Fang Yu’s brow furrowed.
He felt that, alongside these footprints back then, there should have been quite a few buildings or other things. However, they gradually disappeared with time and turned into yellow sand.
“Back then, a group of cultivators must have come here, slowly making their way forward. Along the way, they must have encountered some kind of difficulty, causing their numbers to dwindle.” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, his heart speculating.
After continuing to advance for several kilometers, only a pair of footprints remained on the yellow sand.
It is still a half footprint tiptoeing.
Fang Yu frowned and looked ahead.
If my guess is correct, these footprints will eventually lead to a temple five miles ahead.
Because Fang Yu’s divine sense had already sensed the existence of that temple.
“Whoosh!”
Thus, Fang Yu accelerated and dashed straight to the front of the temple.
As expected, the footprints disappeared after entering the temple.
On the desolate desert, suddenly appeared such a temple, it felt very eerie.
Moreover, since Fang Yu entered this place and walked such a long distance, he hadn’t heard any other sounds or found footprints left by other creatures.
This is strange.
Because, according to the blue raven, numerous groups have sent out teams into this ancestral land these days, with at least hundreds or even thousands of creatures inside.
Kefang Yu walked for such a long distance, yet he didn’t even find a shadow.
This is obviously not normal.
Where did all the previous crowds go?
With this question in mind, Fang Yu stepped into the temple before him.
The entire temple is not very large, occupying an area of no more than ten mu.
Unlike the surrounding buildings which have been eroded by sand, it is also made of some kind of rock but is better preserved. Its basic structure has not become blurred with time.
Entering the temple, we walk along the straight path ahead.
On either side were two walls, which originally bore inscriptions, but are now illegible.
Therefore, Fang Yu did not waste time on those vague inscriptions, but instead followed the straight path deeper and deeper.
Soon, he walked through a small courtyard and into the deepest part of the temple.
A statue stood before him.
The moment Fang Yu saw the statue, his face changed slightly, and he froze on the spot.
Before him, a statue appeared!
This statue is nearly two hundred meters tall and cast from some kind of metal.
What shocked Fang Yu was the appearance of this statue!
A cobra-like head, a human-like torso…
Another snake-head human statue!
Once, on Earth, he and Crimson Lotus entered a temple in the Arctic. They were trapped within a cage and saw another ice sculpture of a serpent-headed human identical to them.
Exactly the same appearance!
The only difference is the casting material.
At first, in the far north, I saw ice sculptures. But this one… it’s cast from some kind of metal!
Besides that, nothing else is different!
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, looking up at the serpent-headed human statue’s eyes.
Indeed, the snake-head man’s eyes glowed with a faint green light.
This is also the same as the Serpent-Head Ice Sculpture I encountered in the Arctic!
Fan Yu’s brows furrowed, and he became alert.
<<>>
During that year and a half, extraterrestrial races rose on Earth, causing extremely serious consequences for both the martial arts world and the mundane world, with heavy losses!
Now, entering another temple, I see the same snake-headed human statue!
Fāng Yǔ had to be on guard.
He looked around.
When I first saw the snake-head man sculpture, there were still snake-head sacrifices on both sides.
But this time, it seems not.
On both sides of Fang Yu were open plains, and no unusual creatures were seen.
And the snake-headed human statue in front was also motionless, but the faint green glow in its eyes still showed its eerie and unpredictable nature.
