Chapter 766 Desert Temple

After passing through the portal, Bai Ye and the soldiers felt a strong dizziness, as if their souls were instantly taken away and resettled in a brand new world. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a vast black desert.

The sand in the desert was a deep black, as if it could swallow all the light. The sky was also dark, with no stars, no moon, only endless darkness. There was a repressive and mysterious atmosphere all around, which made people feel terrified.

Bai Ye and the soldiers huddled together, their eyes full of vigilance and curiosity. They knew that this world was full of unknowns and dangers, and they had to stay vigilant at all times to survive in this world.

At this moment, they suddenly heard a low roar. The sound was getting closer and closer, accompanied by the vibration of the ground, as if some huge monster was approaching them.

Bai Ye immediately signaled the soldiers to get ready, and they all drew their weapons and stared at the front. After a while, they saw dozens of giant scorpions emerging from the darkness. Their bodies were huge, more than ten meters long, and their shells were shining with black luster, as hard as steel.

The giant scorpion's tail was raised high, with a sharp hook at the end, flashing cold light. Their eyes flashed red light, as if they could see through everything. They approached step by step, and the ground trembled slightly under their feet.

The soldiers looked at these giant scorpions, and fear surged in their hearts. They had never seen such a huge creature, and they didn't know how to deal with it. However, Bai Ye remained calm. He took a deep breath and then said loudly: "Don't panic, keep the formation, and prepare for battle!"

The soldiers adjusted their mentality and stood in position according to Bai Ye's instructions. They held their weapons tightly and looked at the giant scorpions with a firm gaze.

Bai Ye knew that although these giant scorpions were huge, they were not invincible. The key was whether they could stay calm and play to their strengths. He whispered to the soldiers: "The giant scorpion's shell is extremely hard, and it is difficult for our weapons to cause damage to them. However, their eyes are a weakness. As long as we can hit their eyes, they can lose their combat effectiveness."

The soldiers heard this and felt relieved. They began to look for opportunities to attack the giant scorpion's eyes. However, the giant scorpions were not fools. They seemed to have noticed the soldiers' intentions and began to become more alert and ferocious.

A giant scorpion suddenly attacked, and its tail swung at a soldier like lightning. The soldier reacted quickly and dodged sideways, but the hook on the tail still left a deep scratch on his armor.

Seeing this, Bai Ye immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone be careful, the giant scorpion has begun to attack!"

The soldiers heard this and focused more on dealing with the giant scorpion's attack. They flexibly dodged the giant scorpion's tail and claws, while looking for opportunities to attack their eyes.

However, there were so many giant scorpions, and they kept attacking from all directions, making the soldiers overwhelmed. Bai Ye watched the soldiers struggling to deal with the giant scorpion's attack, and a sense of anxiety surged in his heart. He knew that if they could not find a breakthrough as soon as possible, the soldiers would run out of energy and eventually fall into despair.

Just then, he suddenly thought of a way. He shouted to the soldiers: "Everyone listen to my command, we form a circular formation and surround the giant scorpion in the middle!"

The soldiers immediately started to move after hearing this. They quickly adjusted their positions and formed a tight circular formation. The giant scorpions looked at the changes of the soldiers and seemed a little confused, but they did not stop attacking.

Bai Ye watched the giant scorpions constantly attacking the circular formation, and secretly rejoiced in his heart. He knew that this circular formation could effectively resist the attack of the giant scorpions, and at the same time allow them to maintain their physical strength and look for opportunities to counterattack.

Sure enough, after a while, a giant scorpion revealed a flaw when attacking the circular formation. Its eyes slightly revealed a gap, and Bai Ye immediately seized this opportunity. He jumped up suddenly, and the sword in his hand pierced the giant scorpion's eyes like lightning.

"Puff!" With a light sound, the tip of the sword penetrated the giant scorpion's eyes, and bright red blood gushed out. The giant scorpion let out a shrill roar and then fell to the ground.

The soldiers watched Bai Ye successfully defeat a giant scorpion, and they were excited. They began to look for opportunities to attack the giant scorpion's eyes more actively. After a while, several more giant scorpions fell to the ground under their attack.

However, the number of giant scorpions was still large, and they did not retreat because of the fall of their companions. On the contrary, they became more fierce and crazy, constantly attacking the circular formation.

Bai Ye looked at the tired faces and scars of the soldiers, and a sense of guilt surged in his heart. He knew that all this was brought to everyone by him. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Everyone hold on, we can't give up!"

Hearing this, the soldiers gritted their teeth and continued to hold on. They knew that as long as they could hold on, they might find a breakthrough and defeat these giant scorpions.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew across the desert, bringing a moment of coolness. The giant scorpions seemed to be affected by the gust of wind, and their attacks became a little chaotic.

Bai Ye seized the opportunity and shouted to the soldiers: "Everyone rush out with me and attack their eyes!"

The soldiers responded one after another. They followed Bai Ye and rushed towards the giant scorpions like a gust of wind. Their weapons drew cold light in the air and hit the giant scorpions' eyes directly.

The giant scorpions were caught off guard by this sudden attack and roared miserably. After a while, several giant scorpions fell to the ground under their attack.

However, the giant scorpions did not give up. They reorganized and began to fight back more fiercely. Bai Ye and the soldiers kept dodging the giant scorpions' attacks and looking for opportunities to fight back.

The battle lasted for a long time and both sides were exhausted. However, Bai Ye and the soldiers did not give up. They continued to fight the giant scorpions with their firm will and courage.

Finally, in a fierce confrontation, Bai Ye found a perfect opportunity. He jumped up suddenly, and the sword in his hand stabbed the eye of a giant scorpion like lightning. This time, his sword accurately penetrated the giant scorpion's eyes and pierced directly into its brain.

The giant scorpion let out a deafening roar and then fell to the ground. Its body twitched a few times and then completely stopped moving. Seeing this scene, the other giant scorpions seemed a little afraid. They began to retreat and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Bai Ye and the soldiers looked at the giant scorpion corpses all over the ground, and an indescribable excitement surged in their hearts. They knew that they had finally defeated these terrible creatures and successfully took the first step out of the black desert.

They supported each other to stand up, and a triumphant smile appeared on their tired faces. They knew that this was just the beginning, and there were more unknowns and dangers waiting for them ahead. However, they believed that as long as they could maintain unity and courage, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

Bai Ye looked at the soldiers, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that these soldiers were his most precious wealth and brothers who had experienced the test of life and death together. He whispered to the soldiers: "Everyone has worked hard, let's take a rest and then continue to move forward."

The soldiers nodded when they heard this. They found a relatively safe place and sat down to rest. Although their bodies were exhausted, their hearts were full of strength and confidence.

During the rest, Bai Ye began to think about the next plan. He knew that this black desert was just an obstacle on their way forward, and there were more unknowns and dangers waiting for them ahead. He had to make a careful plan to ensure their safety.

He whispered to the soldiers: "This black desert is full of unknowns and dangers, and we must be careful. Next, we will be divided into several groups, taking turns to be responsible for vigilance and finding food. At the same time, we must keep in touch at all times to ensure that we can support each other in time if there is any danger."

The soldiers agreed after hearing this. They knew that Bai Ye's plan was out of concern and protection for them. They began to act according to Bai Ye's plan, some of whom were responsible for vigilance, and some were responsible for finding food and water.

The days of moving forward in the black desert are full of hardships and dangers. Not only do they have to face the harsh natural environment, but they must also be vigilant against possible dangerous creatures. However, Bai Ye and the soldiers did not give up. They moved forward step by step with their firm will and courage.

One day, they found a mysterious relic in the desert. This relic looks very old, as if it has existed for thousands of years. Its walls are engraved with mysterious runes and patterns, which make people curious and awed.

Bai Ye looked at these runes and patterns, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart. He remembered that they had encountered similar runes and patterns in previous explorations. These runes and patterns seemed to hide some mysterious power and secrets.

He whispered to the soldiers: "This relic may hide some important secrets or clues. We must explore it carefully and see if we can find useful information for us."

The soldiers nodded when they heard this. They began to enter the ruins carefully and began their exploration journey. They carefully observed every corner and detail, fearing that they would miss any important clues.

Deep in the ruins, they found an ancient stone chamber. The walls of this stone chamber were engraved with complex runes and patterns, and it seemed to be a mysterious ritual site. In the center of the stone chamber, there was an ancient altar, on which was placed a dazzling gem.

This gem is very similar to the one they saw in the temple, but it is larger and more dazzling. It emits a soft and mysterious light, as if it contains some powerful power.

Bai Ye looked at the gem and felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. He knew that this gem might be closely related to their mission. He whispered to the soldiers: "This gem may be the key clue we have been looking for. We must take it down carefully and then study its secrets."

The soldiers nodded when they heard this. They began to approach the altar carefully, preparing to take down the gem. However, at this moment, they suddenly heard a low roar. The sound became louder and louder, accompanied by the vibration of the ground, as if some huge monster was approaching them.

Bai Ye immediately signaled the soldiers to get ready. They all held their weapons tightly and stared at the front. After a while, they saw a huge creature emerging from the darkness. Its body was huge, like a giant scorpion, but there were many differences. Its shell shone with a black luster, as hard as steel; its eyes flashed red light, as if it could see through everything; its tail hovered in the air like a dragon, with a sharp hook at the end, flashing cold light.

This was a creature they had never seen before, and its appearance made them feel a strong fear and uneasiness. Bai Ye and the soldiers' heartbeats suddenly accelerated, and they stared closely at the unprecedented huge creature in front of them. It approached them in a slow and threatening manner, and every step was accompanied by a slight tremor of the ground.

"Prepare for battle, everyone be careful." Bai Ye's voice was low and firm, and he tried to stay calm to deal with the impending crisis. The soldiers quickly adjusted their positions and formed a defensive formation, and their weapons flashed cold light in the weak light.

The eyes of the huge creature were like burning flames, staring at them, as if to suck their souls into the endless darkness. Its tail swung in the air, and every swing was accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, and the sharp hook seemed to be able to tear everything apart.

"Attack!" Bai Ye gave an order, and the soldiers immediately launched an attack. The swords, spears, bows and arrows in their hands flew towards the giant creature like raindrops. However, those seemingly sharp weapons could only leave shallow scratches when they touched the shell of the giant creature.

The giant creature let out a deafening roar, and it began to fight back. Its tail swept like lightning, and a soldier was hit hard and thrown several meters away, his life or death uncertain.

"Everyone be careful, its shell is extremely hard, we must find its weakness!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, trying to guide the soldiers to find a breakthrough point. However, the giant creature's attack became more and more fierce, and the soldiers could only cope with it.

At this moment, Bai Ye noticed that the eyes of the giant creature seemed a little different. Although they flashed red, at certain moments, they would reveal a faint blue light. He moved his mind and guessed that this might be the weakness of the giant creature.

"Attack its eyes!" Bai Ye shouted loudly. Upon hearing this, the soldiers adjusted their attack direction and locked their targets on the giant creature's eyes. Their weapons rained down on the giant creature again, and this time, the target was clearer.

Under continuous attacks, one of the giant creature's eyes was finally hit. It let out a shrill roar, and its whole body began to tremble violently. Bai Ye seized the opportunity, jumped up, and the sword in his hand stabbed at the other eye of the giant creature like lightning.
