Chapter 1: Descended upon Giza Desert

  "Where, where is this? Yu Zi, Pang Dong, Qiao Mu Si, are you there?" Fang Kai supported his forehead, looking around in a daze. The scenery before his eyes was a vast expanse of endless desert, while the time-space shuttle had been reduced to a mere shell, half-buried in the sand, with a plume of black smoke rising from it.

  The scorching sun beat down on him, making Fang Kai sweat profusely, but he stood there as if possessed, muttering his companion's name. However, no one responded to him, and the surroundings were eerily silent.

  Only that gust of wind picked up the sand and stones, making a hollow sound. Fang Kai stood there, but couldn't see his own shadow. The sun seemed to be mocking him from above, the world was eerily quiet, leaving only this tiny human being.

  This is quiet, quite frightening!

  "Ruò Zǐ, Pàng Dōng, Qiáomǔsī, are you there!!!!!" Fang Kai cupped his hands around his mouth to amplify his voice, but still no one responded.

  Deathly silence.

  Fang Kai let out a long sigh, trying his best to recall what had happened after being sucked into the time-space rift. However, he couldn't remember anything at all. He thought that something unexpected must have happened to Yu Zi and others, and a wave of sorrow surged up in his heart.

  Originally planned to go together to the Earth of ten thousand years ago to perform tasks, did not expect to encounter a solar storm and was rolled into the space-time rift. As a result, his companion disappeared, but he himself survived.

  Most importantly, he still hadn't figured out where he was.

  Just as Fang Kai was hanging his head in despair, the entire desert suddenly shook!

  Fang Kai was startled and looked around, only to see a huge figure suddenly burst out of the flowing sand dunes, accompanied by a frantic roar.

  Fang Kai's pale face involuntarily flushed with a hint of redness, he knew that was Pang Dong shouting!

  "Kai, quickly retrieve the 'Gama-ray gun' from the top cabin of the spaceship and kill this big guy!" Pang Dong's tone was furious, but Fang Kai couldn't help but curse silently in his heart.

  Good grief, it turned out that the massive figure wasn't Fat Dong, but a ferocious sand scorpion. And Fat Dong was actually lying on top of the scorpion, his fat hands grasping tightly onto the scorpion's tail spines, his thick neck covered in dark red bruises.

  The scorpion felt someone on its back and suddenly became very violent. It raised a pair of large pincers, shaking its body left and right, trying to shake off the fat Dong who was lying on top of it. However, Fat Dong seemed to be very familiar with the scorpion's weakness, and several times when he was about to fall to the ground, he cleverly flipped over and even punched the scorpion a few times.

  But with just one move of his hand, he let out a loud cry of pain.

  Fang Kai saw the madness of the sandworm, and without hesitation, he rushed to the spaceship that was almost completely submerged in the desert. He opened the front cabin at lightning speed, pulled out several gamma-ray guns, multidimensional bags, and some universal medicine. However, at the same time, the spaceship was completely buried in the sand, Fang Kai grabbed a handful, but couldn't feel the familiar titanium shell, only a handful of yellow sand.

  Fang Kai was stunned for a moment, and at this time, Pang Dong's complaining voice came over: "Damn it, Kaizi hurry up, I'm about to collapse! Ah!" Pang Dong wailed and almost got knocked to the ground by the sandstorm.

  When Fat Dong cried out for help, Fang Kai finally came to his senses and hastily picked up a stun gun, tossing it into Fat Dong's hands. As soon as Fat Dong received the weapon, he immediately gained confidence, and his pale face from shock was completely overwhelmed by a confident smile. He sprang up like a monkey, agilely flipping over and firing several shots at the scorpion's feet.

  The Ka-ma electric beam gun emits a powerful infrared electronic collision wave, which is difficult for ordinary metals to withstand, let alone scorpions. However, what surprised Fat Dong was that the electric beam hit the scorpion's foot segment, but failed to sever its limbs, only opening a shallow wound.

  "Go!" Fat Dong cursed and fired several shots at the scorpion's head, but the result was still disappointing. However, this move completely enraged the scorpion.

  Fang Kai stared blankly as the scorpion swung its massive tail, continuously striking its back, trying to poke that annoying "fly" to death. While Pang Dong grasped the scorpion's head with one hand, his stout body dodged left and right, shaking back and forth, making Fang Kai's eyes spin.

  "Kai, increase firepower and wait for the right moment to strike this big guy's tail!" Fat Dong shouted loudly, but suddenly stopped all movements and lay still on the scorpion's back. Perhaps feeling the change on its back, the scorpion raised its tail high and struck down at Fat Dong's body with its sharp tail needle!

  Once stung, Fat Dong has only one outcome - venom enters the body, and the whole body is torn apart to death.

  The situation was urgent, Fang Kai didn't dare to delay, and quickly pulled out another electric beam gun from his waist. With one in each hand, he fired at the scorpion's tail needle with two thick red beams!

  "Bang!" A deafening explosion sounded, Fang Kai rubbed his eyes and shifted his gaze to the back of the sand scorpion, only to find that Pang Dong was hugging his head with both hands, sticking close to the back of the sand scorpion. A brown metal object with black smoke flew past his ear and fell heavily at Fang Kai's feet.

  Fang Kai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shocked that such a lifelike scorpion was actually a machine!

  "What kind of place is this, and what civilization is it, why is the technology so close to our home?" Fang Kai was both amazed and puzzled. When he looked up again, he saw that the big tail had lost a few components and was emitting thick black smoke. Inside the tail were intricately structured metal gears.

  The tail needle seemed to be the engine of the mechanical scorpion, and after it was destroyed, the scorpion fell onto the desert, a pair of large pincers lying limply beside it, its ferocity completely lost.

  "Ugh, damn it, I'm exhausted!" Pang Dong jumped down from the sandworm's back and spat at it viciously, not forgetting to stomp on it a few times. Obviously, Pang Dong was furious. Fang Kai thought for a moment, this was still the first time Fatso had been played like this by a machine. If it were him, he wouldn't forgive easily either, let alone the hot-tempered Pang Dong?

  Fang Kai chuckled and walked to Pang Dong's side, patted his shoulder and teased: "I say, Fatzi, how did you pop out of the sand with a big scorpion on your head?" At the end, he still threw a playful glance at Pang Dong.

  Fat Dong patted Fang Kai's shoulder, then inserted the Ka Ma electric beam gun into his waist and said with a bitter face: "When I was sucked into the time-space rift, I fainted. When I woke up, I found myself lying on that big guy's body, covered in quicksand... As a result, what happened just now happened. Oh, by the way, Kai, do you know where we are?" Fat Dong changed his tone and his face was full of doubt.

  Fang Kai's heart sank suddenly, it seemed that Pang Dong didn't know the specific situation either.

  Fang Kai shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand either, and continued: "Let's put this aside for now, Fatso. I'm asking you -" He paused, his face turning serious for a few moments: "Have you seen Ruo Zi or Qiao Mu Si lately?" Fang Kai stared intently at Fat Dong's eyes, almost speaking in a measured tone.

  Pang Dong hesitated for a moment, and a faint, almost imperceptible glint flashed in his eyes. He raised his head to look directly at Fang Kai, scratching the back of his head as he said vaguely, "No, I was going to ask you too - did you really see those two? You were the first one to wake up..." Pang Dong's tone was casual, but it made Fang Kai feel like something was off. He couldn't quite put his finger on what it was, though.

  Could it be that Pang Dong is hiding something from me?!

  Fang Kai couldn't help but feel a little suspicious as he looked at Pang Dong's expression. But just then, the entire desert shook again! And this time, it was thousands of times more severe than before!!

  He exchanged a glance with Pang Dong, and they both saw the horror on each other's face.

  "Puff puff puff..." Amidst Fang Kai and Pang Dong's stunned expressions, countless scorpions of the same size as the previous one burst out from the sand dunes, surrounding the two in an impenetrable circle! They either swung their iron pincers or raised their tail stingers, even marching in an orderly manner. Their steel-like teeth flowed with a few strands of dark green **, sending chills down one's spine.

  Fang Kai swallowed hard, his right hand unconsciously resting on his waist, touching the several Qigong energy guns. At this moment, these ordinary weapons in Star Wars became his and Pang Dong's reliance for escape!

  Looking at the swarm of sand worms approaching them, Fang Ke's forehead couldn't help but sweat. He pulled out his electric gun, his hand shaking slightly, but accurately pointing at a relatively smaller sand worm.

  But just as he was about to fire, Pang Dong stretched out his hand and stopped him. Fang Kai was very puzzled and cast a slightly angry glance at Pang Dong, but the latter put his index finger on his lips and whispered: "Shh, listen carefully." Fang Kai was taken aback and suddenly became impatient, thinking that there was nothing good to hear about the mechanical scorpion's movement sound. However, in the next moment, he froze!

  Heartbeats, a very heavy heartbeat! "Boom boom boom..." Each one seemed to hit Fang Kai's heart heavily, shaking his whole body.

  "How can there be such a strong life fluctuation?!" Fang Kai was extremely surprised, suddenly raised his head and looked around. All he saw was that the not-so-high sand dunes suddenly rose by several meters, and then, one after another, thick and green plants burst out of the sand!

  Cactus! Those green plants are actually cacti! But how can there be such huge cacti in this world?!

  Fang Kai gazed up at the enormous cacti, their silver-white spines radiating a kaleidoscope of colors under the scorching sun. He was deeply shocked and became even more curious about which time and space he was in.

  But before he could think further, two familiar cries for help came from the giant cactus. Fang Kai was overjoyed and thought to himself that he had finally found Qiao Mu Si and Ruo Zi.
