This witch calls me daddy

Chapter 518 The Call in the Desert
The vehicle stopped on the sand dune, and two long series of footprints spread down from a high place and came to the rock.

Lu Ye had heard that there were stone forest-type landforms in the desert, but the upright statue-like rock in front of him was obviously a bit unusual. If the landform was a large area, it would not stand alone like it. In the wind and sand.

When he came to it, he was even more sure of his judgment, because this rock looked exactly like a statue... a statue of a girl.

The wind whimpered again: "Dad..."

Sophia stretched out her hand and touched the rough rock, thinking thoughtfully: "If I couldn't touch it with my own hands, I would think it was a mirage."

Lu Ye circled around the stone statue, stopped in the direction facing the sun, stretched out his hand, gently touched the stone statue, and observed carefully.

If the rugged top is the head, the straight edges are the shoulders, and the rugged enclosure is the arms, then... this statue is holding its hands together, facing the sun, holding something up.

The hands holding the heart are empty.

Lu Zhi suddenly moved and began to rummage through his pockets.

Soon, he took out a magic stone.

This was the magic stone he captured when he encountered Rowan Doran. Because this thing could be said to be stolen goods, and if exposed, Vlad would guess something, so Lu Ye never showed it to anyone.

But since they visited Hongri Mountain and Silver Moon Lake last time and learned about the past of the three army generals, Lu Ye vaguely guessed that the magic stone might be the key to finding the treasure, so he took it with him.

At this time, when the magic stone was placed on the statue, it stood still for a few seconds, and the floating sand whirlwind around it suddenly started to stir!
Lu Ye grabbed Sophia's hand and pulled her back quickly!

As the energy on the magic stone flows, the floating sand around becomes more and more violent, and a powerful tornado forms in the center, sweeping away all the surrounding yellow sand and filling the sky!
At that moment, the two of them seemed to be in a terrifying sandstorm!

Lu Ye simply hugged Sophia and protected her in his arms. At the same time, the magic source on his body was also running to fight against the magic sandstorm everywhere!

After absorbing the energy in the rotten blood magic stone, this windy sand became spiritual, and the power it contained became more powerful and dangerous!
They didn't know how long the sandstorm had been rolling, but the two finally felt that the sandstorm was gradually subsided. Then they both raised their heads and looked in front of them, and they were all shocked by the scene in front of them!

The huge crazy scroll actually swept away the space of hundreds of meters around the statue. The sea of ​​sand was piled up in all directions, forming a huge bowl shape. At this time, they were already standing at the smooth bottom of the bowl!
Lu Ye looked at the extremely smooth floor under his feet. It was obviously not naturally formed but artificially created.

And in front of him, the obtrusive statue had disappeared.

Instead, there was a ball of yellow sand rolling and condensing figures, rolling and flowing in front of him.

She has no facial features and no clothes. The surface of the body shaped by yellow sand is constantly flowing with gravel, but it forms a dynamic balance and can still be seen as a human female image.

The voice in my ears became clearer, and I heard her calling softly: "I've finally waited for you...Dad..."

With her voice, the smooth stone slab under her feet opened a double door, which was huge enough to accommodate large vehicles.

Sophia suddenly showed excitement, grabbed Lu Ye's arm and shook it: "I found it! I found it! I really found it!"

Lu Ye also smiled.

It now appears that the Dolang brothers were looking in the right direction. The notes they found led them to Red Sun Mountain. Although that place was not the burial place of the treasure, there was the Rot Blood Magic Stone there - the key to unlocking the treasure. key.

And these harmful magic stones themselves are a threshold, which tests future treasure hunters. If they are not descendants of the blood clan, or do not have the ability to control the magic stones, then unauthorized contact with the magic stones will only be corroded by the corruptive power in them. Loss of life.

Fortunately, it was Lu Ye who got the magic stone. Regardless of whether it was purified or not, he had the ability to control its use under safe conditions, so he was qualified to use the key.

Without his company, even if Sophia was a master of solving puzzles, she would still be unable to open the door to the treasure if she could find the sand sculpture of her daughter.

Sophia wanted to enter the gate at this time, but was held back by Lu Ye.

"Be careful that there is insufficient oxygen in the underground space. Wait a moment." Lu Ye said as he walked towards the body made of quicksand.

"Who are you?" he asked.

But what made him a little regretful was that the quicksand door god had no words and just kept repeating the call:

"dad……"

"I finally...waited for you..."

Lu Ye tried to touch the rolling quicksand and use energy to feel the other person. Then, he showed a hint of disappointment. "This is not a living entity, she is just a magical creation, like a mechanism."

After checking the surroundings again and finding nothing else, Lu Ye pulled Sophia, used a flashlight, and entered the huge door first.

As they entered the room, the smell of sand outdoors gradually disappeared. They also adapted to the dimness of the room, and the two of them gradually saw the situation here clearly.

The first thing that comes into view is an army!
An army stood upright, arranged neatly, and spread out on both sides of the passage, with hundreds of people!
Sophia walked towards the nearest person and looked at the other person's face...it was all made of sand...

The sculpture of the face is lifelike, and the facial features are full of the perseverance of a young warrior, and it seems that his impassioned expression can be seen.

"Why are you casting a clay figure here?" Sophia said and touched the other person's handsome face with her hand.

But with just such a touch, the muddy face suddenly fell down, and less than half of it collapsed in an instant!

A face that was complete just now suddenly turned into a hollow depression!
"what!!"

Sophia was startled and took a step back, only to bump into another sand man!
This time it was even easier. The man was almost completely torn to pieces, leaving only a crisp military uniform that turned into a pile of sand...

Lu Ye grabbed Sophia and pulled her back to his side with his strong palms, feeling the princess's frightened mood.

He used the softest tone possible and said the words that made Sophia's hair stand on end:

"These... are not clay figures, they are people. They are the disappeared army responsible for transporting the empire's treasures. It was they who carried the final journey. They came here and never left again."

Sophia exclaimed, covering her mouth with both hands, and looking at the rows of clay sculptures, her eyes were full of horror.

"They...were killed here..."

Lu Ye nodded: "Yes, look at their military uniforms and the weapons they wear, the engineering company, the guard company, the support company, the firearms, accessories, backpacks, the wounded, and the vehicles... everything is available. This is a complete army." Only clay warriors would be able to build an army in such detail, and the imperial army did not have the tradition of worshiping clay sculptures.

Hearing what he said made sense, Sophia also accepted this inference, but when she looked at the rows of soldiers, she felt even more frightened and panicked.

The two of them walked carefully, trying not to bump into anyone. They passed by the soldiers who were burying the hope of the empire and came to the front of the queue.

The two school officers also raised their hands in salute facing the front.

Although the mud and sand have blurred their expressions, you can feel just by looking at their movements that they died generously at the moment of death.

"Then who killed them..."

Sophia asked in a trembling voice, and the answer was Lu Ye's eyes, looking in the direction where the two school officers were saluting.

A general appeared in front of the two formations, kneeling sideways on the ground, offering a flag to another person in front of him. The only one who was not wearing a military uniform, but was wearing a beige uniform with skirt support. girl.

There was only this girl in the audience. Her body was not like sand, but more like fired clay, with a smooth and round surface. If it weren't for the earthy color, she would look just like a real statue or a silicone doll.

Sophia came closer to observe, but she was afraid of breaking people again, so she just stretched her neck cautiously to see.

Her eyes rested on a gold sword brooch on the other person's chest: "This...should be Sebastian's daughter. The badge of the Empire's Sword on the chest, theoretically speaking, besides Sebastian No one else has the right to wear it.”

Lu Ye nodded: "It seems that the Imperial Marshal asked his daughter to bury the treasure with his own hands and bury everyone here."

Sophia turned back in shock: "You mean...she is just like you? Did she kill the person?"

Lu Ye stepped forward slowly and stood next to Sophia, acting as a bodyguard as always.

But when he looked at the clay sculpture of the girl in gorgeous clothes, his expression became serious: "The mechanism activated by the magic stone, and the imperial soldiers who died like the clay sculpture here are enough to prove this... Are you right, the Byron family Miss?"

Sophia was shocked when she heard this and looked again suddenly.

At this moment, the girl in beige attire from Western China opened her eyes, her eyes filled with golden light!
"You're not...Dad."

In an instant, the smell of sand filled the air again, making the entire space fall into a sky filled with breathless yellow sand!
