120: Chapter 120 Five-star treatment in the desert? Why does this camel have a human face?

Taklamakan, which means "those who enter cannot come out" in Uyghur, is known to the world as the "Sea of Death."

However, for Su Yang's "non-human" tour group, this place was just another playground with unique scenery.

At noon, the scorching sun was high in the sky.

Golden sand dunes rolled on, the air was distorted by the high temperature, and the surface temperature was hot enough to fry an egg.

"It's so hot! It's so hot!"

Mary held her lace parasol, shrinking into the shadow beneath it, her small face deathly pale, complaining incessantly.

"Damn sun! This is murder against the noble Vampire race! I want to go back to an air-conditioned room! I want to drink iced watermelon juice!"

As a Vampire, sunlight and high temperatures were simply her natural enemies.

Although she was no longer afraid of direct sunlight after being promoted to a Duke, this did not mean she enjoyed being roasted into a "mummy."

In contrast, Chu Ling next to her looked like she was enjoying it.

She took off her coat, wearing only her JK shirt, and opened her arms to embrace the sun.

"So comfortable! The Yang Qi here is so abundant, I feel like my corpse qi is being purified!"

As a zombie of the Drought Demon lineage, she was naturally fond of this extreme dryness and heat.

"Alright, stop complaining."

Su Yang walked at the very front, playing with the wood spirit pearl he had just obtained.

The pearl emitted circles of cool, emerald-green halos, isolating all the scorching heat within a few meters of them, forming a natural, mobile air-conditioned room.

"Hurry and find that Loulan Ancient City, get the thing, and leave."

"Consultant Su, that's the no-man's land ahead."

The person in charge of leading the way was an agent from the Northwest Bureau named Wang Dali, a man with dark skin.

He was driving a modified desert off-road vehicle, and at this moment, he was sweating profusely while pointing at the vast sea of sand ahead.

"The car can only go this far. If we go any further inside, the magnetic field will be chaotic, the navigation will fail, and there's a lot of quicksand, so the car will easily get stuck."

"It's fine, you can go back."

Su Yang waved his hand, signaling that he could leave.

"Ah? Then how are you going to get in?" Wang Dali was stunned. "Walk in? That's at least hundreds of kilometers away!"

"Walk? That's too tiring."

Su Yang smiled mysteriously and whispered in his heart:

"System, redeem [Spirit Paper Crafting Spell]!"

"Ding! 500 points consumed! Redemption successful!"

As the points were deducted, a stream of profound knowledge about crafting paper figures flooded his mind.

Su Yang took a yellow talisman paper from his bosom and folded it a few times.

They were a few small paper-folded camels.

"Cutting paper into soldiers, scattering beans to make soldiers. Those are low-level tricks."

Su Yang blew a breath of Spiritual Qi onto the paper camels in his hand.

"Today, I'll let you see what is called... Spirit Paper Crafting Spell!"

"Go!"

He tossed them casually.

Whoosh—!

Those palm-sized paper camels expanded rapidly in the wind and took root upon landing.

Accompanied by a burst of swirling smoke, four tall, snow-white "divine camels" that even had golden bells hanging on them appeared before everyone!

Although these camels were made of paper, they looked lifelike, their eyes were agile, and they even emitted a faint spiritual light.

The most important thing was, on their backs, they were actually carrying... leather sofas?!

"Holy crap?!"

Wang Dali's eyes were about to pop out.

What kind of Spell was this? Why did these camels have sunshades and small refrigerators on their backs?!

"Board the vehicle... oh no, board the camels!"

Su Yang jumped onto a camel first, lay comfortably on the sofa, took a bottle of iced cola from the small refrigerator next to him, and pulled it open with a "tss" sound.

"Let's go!"

...

As the sun set, the remaining light was like blood.

Night in the desert came especially fast, and the temperature dropped sharply along with it.

But for Su Yang's group sitting on the "paper camels," it had absolutely no effect.

These paper camels not only ran fast, but they also came with a constant temperature barrier; they were practically five-star recreational vehicles in the desert.

"Ding-a-ling—"

Just then, an eerie sound of camel bells suddenly came from behind a sand dune in the distance.

The sound wasn't crisp; instead, it carried a dull, blunt thud, like... the sound of bones colliding.

"Is someone there?"

Chu Ling, who was eating potato chips, twitched her ears and looked forward vigilantly.

"Not people."

Su Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's a caravan."

"But... it's a caravan that has been dead for a thousand years."

As his voice fell, that caravan slowly walked out from behind the sand dune.

More than a dozen camels, lined up in a row.

But these camels... actually only had skeletons left!

Hanging on the stark white skeletons were a few strands of rotting flesh, and green ghost fires burned in the empty eye sockets.

And on the camels' backs, what they were carrying weren't goods, but... mummies!

Those mummies wore tattered Western Regions clothing, their bodies were withered like firewood, but their hands were gripping scimitars tightly, and their bodies swayed stiffly as the camels walked.

"Ghost Camels!"

Su Qingcheng floated in mid-air, looking at this team, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

"Such heavy resentment. These people must have suffered immense pain before they died, trapped in this desert unable to be reincarnated."

"Look closely at its face."

Su Yang pointed to the leading skeleton camel.

Everyone looked closely and immediately gasped.

On the skull of that camel, there was actually... a twisted human face growing on it!

The facial features of that human face were squeezed together, its mouth wide open, as if it were screaming silently.

It wasn't just the leader; on the face of every camel behind it, there was a human face growing!

"This is a Human-Faced Camel."

Su Yang explained calmly.

"Legend has it that there was a cruel torture in the Loulan Ancient City where living people were sewn together with camels and then exiled into the desert, leaving them to die in hunger and pain, and eventually, their resentment would merge, turning them into these half-human, half-beast monsters."

"So disgusting!"

Mary covered her mouth in disgust. "This kind of perverted aesthetic can only be thought up by that group of sorcerers who play with bugs."

"Ding-a-ling—"

Seemingly having sensed the presence of Su Yang and the others, that ghost caravan suddenly stopped.

The dozen or so Human-Faced Camels turned their heads at the same time, their twisted human faces staring fixedly at Su Yang, and the ghost fires in their eye sockets flared up violently!

"Living people..."

"Water..."

"Blood..."

A hoarse sound, like sandpaper rubbing, came from the mouths of those human faces.

The next second.

"ROAR—!!!"

Those skeleton camels, which had originally been slow-moving, suddenly went crazy, their four hooves galloping wildly, and with the mummy cavalry on their backs, they charged at Su Yang like a flood of white bones!

"It's starting already?"

Chu Ling jumped down from the paper camel excitedly and twisted her neck.

"Perfect, my waist was sore from sitting in the car, time to stretch my muscles!"

"Mary, shall we see who kills more?"

"You're on! Whoever loses has to wash the other's socks for a month!"

Mary also put away her parasol and turned into a blood-colored afterimage, rushing out.

"Wait!"

Su Yang shouted suddenly.

But the two women had already rushed into the enemy formation and didn't hear him at all.

"Bang!"

Chu Ling smashed the head of a skeleton camel with one punch.

"Rip!"

Mary cut off the neck of a mummy cavalryman with one slash.

However.

A strange scene occurred.

Those shattered bones and mummies, after falling onto the sand, actually turned into a puddle of yellow sand in an instant and disappeared!

Immediately following, the surrounding sand dunes began to wriggle.

Countless pale arms stretched out from the sand!

"This is..."

Su Yang looked at the suddenly changing scenery around him; the original desert had turned into a huge, desolate ancient city ruin.

"An illusion? No, it's a Ghost Domain!"

"We have already... entered the city."

"This is the legendary... Loulan Ancient City!"
