Chapter 327 The Roar of the Earth!

"Tilted Watchtower."

Looking at the tower-shaped building that Lei He had manually outlined on the sand, Luo Mu frowned slightly.

He remembered that these watchtowers in the game were basically the landing point for flying taxis when running around the map. There were some props on the top of the tower, and a Pokémon called Soucailing lived there.

But it was not clear who built the watchtower and what purpose it had.

Luo Mu personally thought that judging from the degree of dilapidation of some watchtowers, they might be the creations of the ancient Padya Empire.

Lei He meant that the tomb of the official was buried under the tilted watchtower in the Honghong Desert?

Then what about the other watchtowers?

As if she could see what Luo Mu was thinking, Lei He smiled and explained: "Other watchtowers were probably just buildings used by soldiers of the Padiya Empire in ancient times to monitor the surrounding environment and prevent enemy invasions. They were specially built in places with wide views."

"There are very few watchtowers left on the land of Padiya now, and there are even many watchtowers like the Tilted Watchtower that are on the verge of being half-scrapped."

"Others like the watchtowers in the second southern district and the first western district are maintained by experts hired by the alliance, so they have not collapsed due to disrepair."

"What is special is this scorching desert, not the Tilted Watchtower. It is just a reference for us to determine the location of the tomb."

Lei He explained it very clearly to Luo Mu, probably because she knew that Luo Mu just chose to help her because he was interested.

For Lei He, she didn't mind spending some time to popularize science for Luo Mu, everything was to find out the legends of the past.

Next, Luo Mu discussed many details of the action with Lei He and finally finalized the action plan.

After talking about Lei He's side, Lei He was curious about what Luo Mu was going to do for a day because they needed to act together next.

Was it to catch rare Pokémon?

Or was it inevitable that he wanted to try to find the treasure left by Emperor Padiya in the Hot Desert?

But Luo Mu's answer made Lei He stunned for a moment.

"There is a widely circulated but unconfirmed rumor in Ziqin Town."

"Somewhere in the Hot Desert, there are creatures that have never been seen before that can cause earthquakes. Their steps hit the earth and their movements raise dust."

"I'm looking for the traces of these mysterious creatures."

As Luo Mu said this, he showed Lei He the old map that Terry gave him.

Lei He took the map. As a professional, she saw at a glance that this was a rough map of the Hot Desert, with a very high accuracy.

But the most shocking thing was the messy line outlined by a red pen.

Lei He murmured, "Is this... a moving route or a trajectory?"

In order to investigate the location of the tomb, Lei He naturally heard rumors about the mysterious giant creature in Zheqin Town.

She thought Luo Mu's idea was nonsense. It was too naive to want to find a huge mysterious creature that almost no one had seen in this huge desert without collecting any intelligence.

But when Lei He saw this map, she instantly understood what Luo Mu relied on.

"A friend gave it to me."

Luo Mu smiled slightly. Although he planned to move straight to the location of the iron track and the majestic teeth in one breath, since he temporarily let Lei He join his team, he would just find a reason.

"I have verified most of the routes and have screened them thoroughly, so I am confident that you only have to wait for one day, instead of waiting until I find them."

It was late at night and the desert had cooled down.

Luo Mu and Lei He asked the Pokémon who could rest in the Poké Balls during the day to take turns to guard the night to prevent wild Pokémon from attacking the camp.

The two returned to the tent, lay in the warm sleeping bag, and fell asleep listening to the crackling sound of the firewood in the fire.

Lei He curled up in a slightly cramped space compared to the size of the off-road vehicle, and barely fell asleep with several layers of thick clothes.

Before going to bed, Lei He looked at the tent with some envy. In order to store enough supplies for action in the desert, the seat space of the off-road vehicle was compressed to the extreme. Now she couldn't even stretch her hands and feet, let alone take out the sleeping bag.

On the contrary, Luo Mu's place was spacious and casual, which was really enviable. If she hadn't maintained her modesty as a woman, she would have had to be thick-skinned to squeeze into the other's tent.

A peaceful night, spent without any waves.

The next morning.

The engine of the four-wheel drive off-road vehicle roared, and the huge tires rotated at a high speed, leaving a very deep layer of ruts.

The next moment.

As the dust in the sky was raised, the off-road vehicle was like a roaring beast, and under the driving of Leihe, it drove quickly towards Luo Mu's destination.

During the driving of the off-road vehicle, many wild Pokémon cast their eyes on this big guy, but did not intend to attack it.

There were also Pokémon like Motorlizard, following the off-road vehicle in groups as if they were racing with it.

If the heavy mud horse was allowed to take this trip, it might take until tonight to reach the target location expected by Luo Mu.

But driven by the tires of the off-road vehicle, the time for this section of the journey was greatly reduced.

Near noon, the distance to the target was less than ten kilometers.

But the accident also came at this moment.

At first, it was just a wisp of fine yellow sand fluttering gently in the wind.

But in a blink of an eye, this force quickly grew, like a violent beast roaring in the desert, but in a few breaths, the sandstorm swept the surrounding world, dyeing the sky a dim yellow.

The wind whistled outside the car window, and the sand and dust surged like a raging tide, constantly hitting the body of the off-road vehicle, making a "rustling" sound.

"Sandstorm"

Luo Mu and Lei He's expressions suddenly became serious. They didn't expect that after a smooth day, they would encounter a natural disaster like a sandstorm when they were about to reach the target area.

The vision has been occupied by yellow sand. Now that we can't see the direction clearly, moving rashly is obviously the stupidest behavior.

Fortunately, Lei He spent a lot of money to renovate and upgrade her beloved off-road vehicle before going to the desert. At least there will be no situation where sand and dust penetrate the gaps in the windows and the air-conditioning inlet and outlet to enter the car and make the air inside the car turbid.

"It seems that we can only stay here temporarily."

Lei He held the steering wheel, one foot off the accelerator, and directly pulled the handbrake while stepping on the brake to prevent the off-road vehicle from being forced to move by the strong wind.

Luo Mu knew that it was not the time to continue to move forward, so he could only nod and plan to wait until the sandstorm stopped before making plans.

Although Luo Mu knew that as long as he called out Dragonite to let it take off and break through the sandstorm in one breath, and at the same time protect himself with the storm shield, he could continue to move forward.

But considering Lei He who came to the depths of the hot desert with him, and some wild Pokémon that could also move in the sandstorm and wait for an opportunity to attack, Luo Mu finally did not move.

After all, I was interested in what would happen when two earth-quake treasure owners were in the same hot desert, as well as the secret seasoning of their nests and the mysterious evolutionary props, so I chose to explore the hot desert.

There is no need to fight desperately.

Fortunately, the quality and weight of the off-road vehicle customized by Lei He are quite strong, and the intensity of this sandstorm has not increased to the level that can overturn the off-road vehicle.

Although the body of the car will shake slightly due to the strong wind blowing from all directions, the shaking is not large, and it should be no problem to survive this sandstorm.

During this waiting time, Luo Mu discussed with Lei He the disaster treasure that she was interested in.

Legend has it that in the past era of the Pardean Empire, a visiting merchant met with the then Pardean emperor.

He brought four treasures from the East, namely the tripod, sword, tablet and jade.

The merchant sold the treasures to the emperor at a sky-high price.

But that night, the four treasures suddenly turned into four Pokémon and started a riot in the royal city of the empire, directly leading to the destruction of the royal city.

The truth behind the Pokémon that turned into four treasures and started a riot in the royal city was that the four Pokémon, as treasures, passed through many hands, and during this process, human desires and curses gradually attached to them.

Coupled with the last straw, the desire of the emperor of the Padiya Empire, who was full of desire, eroded them, and they turned into disasters and destroyed the royal city.

If the emperor had not chosen to call the famous Pokémon messenger to protect the Padiya Empire from the invasion of the four disaster Pokémon, and launched a fierce battle to quell the disaster, the inheritance of the Padiya region might have been cut off in that generation.

"These are fairy tales circulated among the people in the Padiya region. Whether they are true or not is still in doubt, so I will try my best to verify this fairy tale, this legend."

"Do you think this story is fictional?"

Leihe asked Luo Mu in a slightly confused tone.

In order to explore the authenticity of this fairy tale and legend, she made many efforts.

Including quitting tomb robbing, earning a degree certificate as an archaeologist, and even applying for a history teacher for the book library in the largest library in Padilla at Orange College.

She spent a lot of time on this journey, just for that seemingly illusory story.

In response to Lei He's question, Luo Mu was silent for a long time before speaking: "I think"

But before Luo Mu could say anything, several huge roars sounded in the distance, and then the earth shook violently, with a violent vibration that seemed to overturn the desert, just like the earth dragon turning over in the story.

Even the town of Ziqin outside the Honghong Desert was shrouded in a violent earthquake at this moment. The streets were in chaos, and even some fences of the ranch collapsed. Ordinary cattle and sheep fled in fear, and Pokémon huddled together to eliminate the fear brought by the earthquake.

Honghong Desert, inside an off-road vehicle.

As the roar got closer, Luo Mu and Lei He finally saw the culprit that was rolling at a very high speed and causing the earthquake.

Lei He looked shocked, looking at the two huge monsters that were at least three to four meters high looming in the dust, and whispered: "That looks like a Dunjia?"

"But, is there really such a huge Dunjia in this world?"

"No, that's not a Dunjia!" Staring at the two huge figures that seemed to be rolling like crazy in a race, Luo Mu's voice was firm, "Their names are Tiezheji and Xiongweiya!"
