Chapter 277: Anti-dog Ke Mingye's divine path
2028年08月23日，环京时间正午12点，埃及时间上午7点。

Whale Valley Desert near Cairo.

Against the hot wind, two thin figures walked on the sand. One of them was wearing a black coat, and the other was wearing children's clothes, holding a round plate in his hand. They crossed one sand dune after another, getting closer and closer to the depths of the desert.

Suddenly, they stopped.

Ke Mingye lowered his head, squinted his eyes through the flying yellow sand, and looked at the divine disc that suddenly trembled.

"It looks like it's nearby," he said.

Fanquan glanced at the pointer above the disc, "Five o'clock."

In the vast yellow world, the two followed the direction guided by the divine disc, leaving footprints of varying depths on the desert, and walked straight forward.

Not long after, a dazzling light burst out from the surface of the divine disc, and the precisely carved runes exuded an extremely deep halo. Each character seemed to be dancing on the disc and converging into a river.

The pointer was flying around randomly on the disk, east, west, south, and north, and it lost its direction for a moment.

The two looked at the disordered pointers, stopped again, and turned to look at each other.

"Under our feet?" Ke Mingye guessed.

"I think so too." Fanquan nodded.

"Then take the disk and stay away."

As Ke Mingye spoke, he handed the Divine Disc to Fanquan, then swung his right arm and began to spin clockwise.

Fanquan took the disc, adjusted his glasses and stepped back silently. Of course, he knew this move, the famous skill of the superhero Blue Owl - "Rotating Arm Scissors-Paper-Ring". Of course, Blue Owl always relied on this move to kill people, but it was only a few times that it really exerted its power. Isn't this a way of hiding one's weakness?

At this moment, along with the release of the B-level skill "Spinning Arm Rock-Paper-Scissors", every time Ke Mingye turned his right arm, the dust he raised became thicker, and the sand under his feet trembled slightly and floated up faintly.

Twenty seconds later, his right arm was covered with an ochre-red light, like an overloaded machine.

At the same time, a system prompt sound popped up in my ear.

[Accumulated number of arm rotations: 20, the number of arm rotations has reached the limit, the power currently accumulated in the arm is 10 times the original. ]

[The second effect of the B-level skill "Spinning Arm Rock-Paper-Scissors" has been triggered: release all the power accumulated by spinning in circles, and perform a rock-paper-scissors game with an unknown result (randomly choose one from rock, scissors, and paper). Three different skill effects will appear depending on the different results of the rock-paper-scissors game.]

At this moment, Ke Mingye put on the A-level equipment "Gambler's Gloves" on his hands, and the black crow feather gloves instantly wrapped around his pale fists.

[According to the ability effect of the A-level equipment "Gambler's Gloves", the rock-paper-scissors phase of "Rotary Arm Rock-paper-scissors" has been changed to a self-selected phase. Please choose one from "Rock", "Scissors", or "Paper". 】

"Stone."

As soon as Ke Mingye finished speaking, the light on his entire arm suddenly flowed upstream like a long river and gathered at his high-raised fist, so that at this moment, he looked like he was holding a miniature sun in his hand.

In a flash, the young man in the yellow sand swung his golden fist downwards.

The world is completely silent.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar exploded in the dead silence.

"BOOM--!!!" Along with the sound, the sand under his feet flew upwards violently like a waterfall in the opposite direction, almost burying Ke Mingye in it. Even though Fanquan was standing more than ten meters away, he was almost affected by it.

Soon, as all the noise faded away, a huge pit of unknown depth was formed in the center of the desert, and Ke Mingye was standing in it. As if a dam had collapsed, the sand on the concave surface poured in like a flood, trying to fill this magnificent pit.

At this moment, Ke Mingye was slightly stunned, as if he was thinking about something, his eyes fixed on the ground - it was clear that the effect of his power had been exhausted, but the sand under his feet was still undergoing drastic changes.

The rumbling sound spread throughout the Whale Valley Desert.

Like an earthquake is coming.

Ke Mingye activated the active skill "Spider Sense", and then he heard a hissing sound in his ears and his nerves trembled.

He exhaled and tried to move, only to find that his legs seemed to be stuck in a swamp and he couldn't move at all in the mud and sand. So he had to think quickly and took out the Magical Girl Transformation Card from his bag.

The cocoon light appeared for a moment, and then shattered in another moment, and then the magical girl Little Red Riding Hood appeared. She raised her finger and took out a magic card from the magic book with flying pages - "Random Flash".

Crushing the card, the girl in the Christmas dress disappeared into a sand pit that was big enough to bury a thousand people, and appeared in another corner of the desert, only a few meters away from the anti-dog.

The Whale Valley Desert was still rumbling and shaking, as if some mechanism buried under the sand had been opened.

"What's going on?" Ke Mingye changed back to his original form and asked hurriedly.

"I don't know, but I think it's best to stay away."

Having said that, Fan Quan retreated with a serious expression; Ke Mingye followed beside him, keeping a distance from the sand pit in front of them.

The next second, a huge ravine suddenly opened up from the center of the earth, and the Whale Valley Desert was almost divided in half by this natural ravine. Then, a suspended golden giant slowly rose from the bottomless darkness.

From a distance, Ke Mingye raised his elbow to block the oncoming tornado of dust and sand, staring at the giant object rising from the ground.

Pupils trembled violently.

I saw that it was a... pyramid. Yes, an upside-down pyramid!

Then, under the astonished gazes of Fan Quan and Ke Mingye, this huge inverted pyramid slowly rose from the natural chasm in the center of the desert and finally hovered in mid-air.

Then, the gravity of the entire world suddenly lost balance, and the yellow dust rolled upwards.

Like an inverted pyramid effect.

In the desert, the impact on the anti-dog seemed to be far greater than other things, including Ke Mingye. At this moment, the anti-dog's feet were wrapped up by the changing gravity and could not touch the ground, but flew upside down.

On his side, Ke Mingye was still standing there. He was stunned when he saw this scene.

"What's going on, Prison Dog? How the hell did you become an astronaut?!"

As he spoke, Ke Mingye quickly lowered his right wrist, and a spider web shot out from the red and blue spider web launcher, which stuck to his legs. Then, he sank his feet deep into the ground, gritted his teeth, and tried his best to pull the spider silk with both hands, trying to pull the anti-dog back.

But it's no use...

Not only was he unable to stop the dog's body, he was almost dragged upwards with it.

Finally, the pale, thin spider silk snapped in mid-air. Then, Ke Mingye fell to the ground, shaking like a kite with a broken string.

With a "bang", his back hit the sand that was constantly flowing towards the natural ravine.

"It's really fucking hell..."

Ke Mingye muttered blankly, slumped down in the desert, raised his head to look at the anti-dog flying backwards towards the pyramid, and quickly opened the panel.

【Failed Man: No buddy, you can die, but don't lose my God Disc. There is still a ruin waiting for me to discover. Throw the disc down while I can still catch it.】

However, before his message was delivered, a "door" suddenly opened on the surface of the inverted pyramid, and the body of the anti-dog was sucked into the half-open door frame. Then, with the door slamming shut, the noise and restlessness in the desert suddenly ceased.

Everything returned to the deepest silence.

Only the yellow sand was still flying in the air, brushing against Ke Mingye's cheek.

Ke Mingye looked down with a dull expression, and the natural chasm that reached deep into the earth's core suddenly disappeared. At the same time, the ground stopped shaking, as if the strange phenomena he had just witnessed had never happened.

He lowered his eyes, then raised them, then lowered them again. At this moment, the Egyptian sun rose from the horizon, illuminating his lost face. He sat on the ground for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage, squinted his eyes and looked at the inverted pyramid hanging in the air.

Under the early morning sun, the pyramid stood like a majestic god in the air, exuding a sacred and inviolable aura. Looking at this scene, Ke Mingye had no intention of getting closer.

He lowered his head, folded his hands on his knees, and sighed sadly.

"Hey, have a safe journey, man of culture."

Having said this, he still sat in the desert and waited silently for a while, then typed and sent a message on the chat panel.

【Failed Man: Are you still alive? 】

[Anti-dog: This seems to be the second time you asked me this question today. ]

Looking at the text that popped up on the panel, Ke Mingye was slightly stunned, then raised his fingers and typed quickly.

Click Send.

【Failed Man: So, what is the situation now? 】

[Anti-Dog: Good news, I have found a way. Or rather... He chose me.]

[Failed Man: Then can you get the hell out of that broken tower?] [Anti-Dog: Look behind you.]

Ke Mingye breathed a sigh of relief and looked back, only to see a black-clad anti-dog walking out of a door made of golden religious texts. As the yellow sand flew, a roar suddenly came from the dim sky behind him, as if the atmosphere was torn apart.

Turn your head and look up to the sky.

The inverted pyramid has disappeared.

"what's the situation?"

Ke Mingye looked at the empty sky and began to doubt his life.

"Let's go back to China first."

"That's right... I don't want to stay in this damn place anymore. It's too weird."

"Return." "Return."

After the order was given, the two men returned to the train station in the old Jingmai district and sat on the dusty public wooden chair as usual.

After a moment of silence, Ke Mingye sighed and asked:

"So the inverted pyramid just now is the ruins of the gods?"

"Yes."

"What access did you get?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Quan did not answer, but raised the back of his right hand to show it to Ke Mingye.

Ke Mingye looked up and saw a circle outlined by golden lines on the back of his hand. Inside the circle was a figure with a dog's head and a human body, holding a scepter.

"Oh my god, Peppa Pig has a tattoo on her body." Ke Mingye complained.

"This is a mythical emblem. It appears on every spiritualist. High-level spiritualists can hide it."

Ke Mingye breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his brows, and looked up at the blue sky at noon. He finally recovered from the weirdness just now. "Okay, okay, you have a way, what about me?"

"There is one last site. I suggest you go there now."

"Let's go then."

As he spoke, Ke Mingye stretched out lazily on the wooden chair.

"I think if you want to obtain the path to the gods, you must go into battle in person, rather than just letting a puppet receive the mythological path." Fanquan paused, "You are lucky that they didn't kick you out of the ruins. You have to be nice when you ask someone to do something for you."

"What a coincidence... I thought so too."

After saying this, Ke Mingye stood up from the public bench, casually shot a spider silk towards the pillar of the platform, grabbed the spider silk and swung upward. After climbing to the top of the train station, he put on a night belt to hide his figure.

Soon he arrived at Huanjing No. 3 Middle School. It was half an hour before the first class in the afternoon started.

He controlled his body to stand up, walked out of the classroom silently, and entered the last cubicle of the boys' restroom on the third floor of the teaching building.

Then, the trickster puppet sneaked in from the window and exchanged clothes with Ke Mingye. Then Ke Mingye put on the children's clothes that were almost all covered with sand, put on a baseball cap and a night belt, turned on the stealth function of the belt, and sneaked out of the school.

Soon, at the abandoned train station in the old Jingmai district.

"It's quite efficient." Fan Quan stood up from the public bench.

"Who do you think I am?" Ke Mingye said.

Thanks to the recent trips to Egypt and South America, all four travel vouchers were used up.

So the two had to use the power of card No. 7 to approach the ruins in China, swipe the copy card on the transparent card slot, and then the ghost train rumbled over and stopped on the track of the train station. The chimney spread out billowing steam, almost burying the front of the train.

The two men stepped onto the rusty iron plates and entered the empty train.

"By the way, where is my disc?" Ke Mingye asked.

"I put it in my bag."

"Okay."

Not long after, the train landed inside an abandoned train station in the HEN province, close to the geographical coordinates of the last ruins of the god.

Ke Mingye and Fan Quan got out of the car, and then followed the guidance of the divine disk, climbing over mountains and crossing ridges in the cold wind. Finally, after crossing a mountain, they came to a remote lake.

Looking up, the lake is surrounded by mountains. The trees on the top of the mountain block the light, so the light in the lake is slightly dim. With the floating of catkins, the light and shadow flicker, swaying on the wet soil, like a pure land on earth.

The lake and the sky complement each other, and the waves are rippling with blue.

The scene before my eyes seems like a paradise on earth.

But the most eye-catching thing is a huge lotus leaf standing in the middle of the lake. On the lotus leaf stands a gray-black building that has been burned by flames, which looks like a tower or a building.

Ke Mingye looked intently and saw that the giant tower had a total of seven floors. Although the tower body was burnt black, it could be seen that there was a Buddha statue printed on the surface of each floor, and its original color should have been golden.

"Looks like this is it." Fanquan said calmly.

Ke Mingye seemed to be entranced and remained silent.

He looked up at the ruins, pushed up his glasses, and blurted out, "Judging from the features, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the ruins of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li."

At this time, Ke Mingye stared at the building intently and shook his head slightly.

"It doesn't feel like it..." he said softly.

"Why?" Fan Quan asked, "From the shape, I think this should be Li Jing's Seven Treasures Linglong Tower."

"intuition."

"That's my intuition. The burn marks on this site are very serious. It looks like it was man-made."

After a pause, Fanquan said a disappointing fact: "It is possible that just like the ruins of the rain god in South America, this ruins has also been taken by someone else."

"It wasn't man-made." Ke Mingye continued to deny, whispering, "It was burned like this because of something else."

"Are you okay? I don't know why, but I feel like you've been acting weird since just now."

As he spoke, Fan Quan slightly turned his head and took a look at Ke Mingye's expression.

Ke Mingye didn't care. He looked at the disc and then at the tower.

He whispered: "The real ruins should be below that tower."

Anti-Dog sighed, "I already have a divine path, so I can't go in with you, or my life might be in danger. You have to walk the rest of the way by yourself."

Ke Mingye took a breath and said, "Okay, I'll do it myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into the magical girl Little Red Riding Hood. He raised his magic wand and crossed the lake amidst the flying snowflakes. Soon his feet stepped on the huge lotus leaf in the middle of the lake.

Looking at this scene, Fanquan adjusted his glasses speechlessly, thinking that you are too hasty. What if the Chinese gods don’t follow the American LGBT system, and their thoughts are more feudal, so that they don’t accept half-male, half-female people?
Suddenly, thousands of ripples spread out from the surface of the lake. As time went on, the ripples became more and more violent, as if the lake water would soon flow back out, and the building in front of them also shook violently.

However, Magical Girl Little Red Riding Hood remained calm.

A cocoon of light flashed on her body, and she turned back into Ke Mingye. She then walked towards the giant tower that had been burned beyond recognition and stepped into the dark entrance.

Clearly from the outside, the interior of the building was not that spacious, but Ke Mingye walked along this pitch-dark corridor for more than a hundred meters, and in the end he could not even see the light source at the entrance.

However, at this moment, a long scarlet silk strip suddenly appeared in the darkness, as graceful as a dragon. The scarlet silk strip seemed to stretch endlessly, forming a circle around Ke Mingye.

The scarlet silk strips did not come close to him, but instead bound him in all directions, like weaving a red spider web.

"roll."

A cold and hoarse voice came from the end of the darkness, echoing in the corridor for a long time.

Then, Ke Mingye vaguely saw a figure sitting against the wall, his left hand dangling above his slightly bent knee, and his right hand holding a spear. The tip of the spear was on fire, and the swaying red flames lit up the darkness.

The flames reflected in the boy's pupils, cold and violent.

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
