"Boss, ten kilometers away from the 'entrance', a large number of gray sand beasts have been found, and there are many of them!" Xiaoice appeared in front of Li Zhi with a straight face, and reported!

Li Zhi looked out the window and asked calmly, "How many are there?"

"At least, more than 200,000 heads!" After Xiaoice finished speaking, a three-dimensional map appeared in front of everyone, in addition to Li Zhi, Shi Sha, Zhao Sihai, and several senior managers of the Ice Soul Group were there!

In the center of the map is a 'green' gate with the words 'Entrance to Africa' clearly marked!

Near the entrance to Africa, there are hundreds of temporary camps, large and small, which are all marked with light blue light spots, with a white circle of light, and the aperture range is ten kilometers away from the 'entrance' range, and there are a small number of red light spots under the desert within ten kilometers.

The red dot represents the 'Grey Sand Beast'!

Instead, beyond the white line, there are about hundreds of 'orange dots' that are moving slowly, representing the 'exploration team' that has been dispatched.

The slightly larger 'Blue Light Ball' on the white line represents the range of the Ice Soul Group's temporary base! And those exploration teams have a thin line behind their butts, connecting to the 'blue light ball', representing the routes traveled by those 'exploration teams', all of which start from the temporary base!

Underneath the path traveled by those 'orange dots', a large number of 'red dots' were found, representing a huge number of 'Grey Sand Beasts!'

"Within ten kilometers, we only explored the range of ten kilometers, and the exploration team that went out was attacked by the 'Gray Sand Beast', the vehicles used for exploration were destroyed, seventeen interstellar X-Men were missing, the superpower robot, nine people were missing, and one of the group personnel was seriously injured and had returned for treatment!" Xiaoice said quickly.

Li Zhi frowned, looking at the map and scaling his fingers on the red points of light, the opportunity was twenty kilometers away from the entrance, that is, ten kilometers from the temporary base of the Ice Soul Group, the gray sand beast had already connected the city!

"So, the place at the entrance has been surrounded by the 'Gray Sand Beast'?" Zhao Sihai looked at the three-dimensional map and asked in a deep voice.

Xiaoice looked at each other, nodded and said, "Well, it can be understood this way!" After a slight pause, he explained: "Moreover, the area we have explored is only one-eighth, and the number of gray sand beasts detected has reached 200,000, that is to say, outside the entire circle twenty kilometers away, there are at least no less than two million gray sand beasts, encircling all of us inside!"

"I want to make dumplings and eat us!" Li Zhi muttered.

Zhao Sihai echoed: "That's right, this group of gray sand beasts must have been premeditated, the number of gray sand beasts within ten kilometers of the entrance is not much, if we didn't come in, maybe few people would have found it, the time when this entrance to Africa was discovered, it has been about two months, that is to say, this group of gray sand beasts has been preparing two months ago!"

"Two million gray sand beasts!" Li Zhi nodded and smiled bitterly: "It seems that you don't just want to eat us in one bite, maybe, maybe this is the vanguard of others!"

"Is it that if you go twenty kilometers away, the people on the ground will definitely be attacked?" Shi Sha asked Xiaoice.

Xiaoice nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right, beyond the range of twenty kilometers, the personnel on the ground will be immediately attacked!"

There is no doubt that the Grey Sand Beast has formed an encirclement within twenty kilometers of the 'entrance', and everything in the encirclement is the 'prey' of others.

"It's like we just happened to catch up with someone's 'hunting feast'!" Li Zhi suddenly laughed, the number of two million gray sand beasts was indeed quite a lot, but if you want to swallow all the people in the encirclement in one go, I'm afraid it's not too easy!

He looked at Xiaoice and asked, "Did you catch a living gray sand beast?"

"Caught!" Xiaoice nodded, presented the detailed information about the 'Gray Sand Beast' in front of everyone, and introduced: "Gray Sand Beast, combat effectiveness: D6 level, the ability is equivalent to one-thirtieth of the ability value of the ice beast, the ice beast evaluation is C1 level, the evaluation of the Pacific seabed found creatures is C2 level, and the ability to find the 'fish people' is E level."

Adult grey sand beasts are long, can grow up to 30 meters long, have bone armor on the outside, have short legs, and are good at lurking under sand. ”

Everyone looked at the picture of the gray sand beast, and it looked like a pangolin, with gray bone fragments instead of scales.

Later, there was a sample of the decomposition, and the blood in the body of the gray sand beast was not red, but light yellow, which was very close to the color of the yellow sand.

The 'bone armor' of the body epidermis accounts for at least one-third of the total, which means that the defense of a creature like the Gray Sand Beast is very strong, and ordinary bullets, even *, can't penetrate their thick bone armor at all!

The weak points are behind the head and tail, and the eyes, mouth, and abdomen are all weak spots, but the gray sandmon rarely shows the weakness!

"What does this Grey Sand Beast feed on?" Li Zhi asked, looking at the Grey Sand Beast on the stereoscopic projection.

Xiaoice explained: "Gray sand beasts can directly use 'yellow sand', and their stomachs have a special function that can decompose yellow sand and obtain some components in the sand grains, which are used to grow 'bone armor' on their bodies and increase the thickness of bone armor." In the desert, in addition to the Grey Sand Beast, we also found a 'Ant'!"

Talking about the picture of ants that have been 'sand yellow', they appear in front of everyone, the body color is very close to the desert, and it is easy to be ignored when put on the desert, the size is about 20 centimeters long, and the size is very large.

"This kind of ant, temporarily called 'gray sand ant' or 'yellow sand ant', swarming, should be the main food source of the gray sand beast!" Xiaoice paused slightly, and said: "The gray sand ant is also very terrifying, this creature has an amazing bite force, and can secrete high-strength acidic substances, and finally even high-strength alloys can be eaten." The Grey Sand Beast should be the natural enemy of the Grey Sand Ant!"

"In addition to the 'gray sand ant', what else has been discovered!" Li Zhi nodded and asked, these things found by Xiaoice are not too much, there should be a complete 'food chain' in the desert, otherwise the gray sand beast cannot grow into such a size, everyone has already speculated!

And from such a huge number of gray sand beasts, it can also be seen that the scope of this desert is not too small, and if it is too small, it is impossible to accommodate so many gray sand beasts!

"Yes!"

Xiaoice made a face, waved his hand, and an object similar to a 'diamond' appeared in front of everyone, but it was much larger than a diamond, and the color was close to yellow sand.

"The gray sand beast also eats this kind of thing, and after absorbing and decomposing it in the body, it will form a 'sand bead' in the body!"

"Shazhu?" Li Zhi asked with some interest, "Tell me what this 'Shazhu' is for!"

"Yusha!" Xiaoice simply said two words.

"Misha?"

"That's right!" Xiaoice nodded and said: "It's the royal sand, simply put, it is to defend against yellow sand, the reason why the 'gray sand beast' is so large can move under the desert, and can go deep into the yellow sand for tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters, is related to this 'sand bead' in their bodies!"

Li Zhi blanked her eyes, she still couldn't understand, she was selling Guan Zi again.

"Do you want to be beaten?"

"Hee-hee!" Xiaoice laughed twice before explaining: "'Sand Beads' are probably the most precious thing in the body of the Gray Sand Beast, it is a kind of energy reservoir, they can swallow the 'Sand Diamond' and store the absorbed energy into the 'Sand Bead', and the biggest function of the 'Sand Bead' is the 'Royal Sand', which can make it easier for the Gray Sand Beast to move and breathe under the desert."

The 'sand diamond' is the kind of 'sand yellow' similar to a diamond that I just showed you, the size of a domestic one-yuan coin, and contains energy. ”

"What kind of energy?" Li Zhi asked when he interrupted Xiaoice.

"A more efficient spiritual energy!" Xiaoice stuck out his tongue and said, "Simply put, it is similar to the 'Ice Spirit Stone' found in the entrance to the North Pole." ”

The greatest effect of the minerals formed under the action of a kind of psionic energy is to store psionic energy!

"Why didn't you find anything like the 'sand beads' in the body of the Gray Sand Beast in the Arctic Ice Beast?" Li Zhi asked as he looked at Xiaoice.

Xiaoice shook his head and said, "It's not nothing, according to my speculation, it should be melted!"

"Melted?" Li Zhi was slightly stunned.

Xiaoice nodded and said, "That's right, melted, the 'sand beads' in the body of the gray sand beast, if it is not taken out of the body of the gray sand beast in a short time after the death of the gray sand beast, it will also melt in the body of the gray sand beast." At the beginning, the corpses of the Arctic Ice Beasts were dissected at intervals for a long time, and the size of the individuals was relatively large, so I deduced that this was the reason why the 'crystal nucleus' was not found in the body of the Arctic Ice Beast!"

The Arctic Ice Beasts also feed on the 'Ice Spirit Stone', otherwise the tribe would not have lived under an Ice Spirit Stone Mine.

"Let's continue talking about the Grey Sand Beast!" Li Zhi nodded, and pulled the topic back again, the situation of the Arctic Ice Beast would be too late to be studied later.

Inside the entrance to Africa, the possibility of discovering the 'Arctic Ice Beast' is almost zero, and there is no way to experiment with the speculation of Xiaoice!

"Okay!"

Xiaoice put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "The gray sand beast feeds on the 'sand diamond', yellow sand ants, and sand grains, and in the body, for people, the most precious material is this 'sand bead' in the body, followed by flesh and blood, bone armor. The sand beads in the body of the Gray Sand Beast can be used by humans......"

"Wait!" Li Zhi interrupted Xiaoice's words, looked at her and asked: "'Shazhu' can be used by humans, what does it mean, explain it specifically!"

Xiaoice blinked and said: "That is, the evolutionary can use the energy in the body to connect with the sand beads, and then, like the gray sand beast, he can also burrow into the desert to act, reduce the pressure of the desert, and even breathe under the desert with the help of the sand beads!"

"Are you sure?"

Xiaoice nodded and said, "Sure, I have already asked people to experiment just now, an employee of a 'level five' human physique, with the help of the ability of sand beads, can easily enter the area twenty to fifty meters deep under the desert to move." ”

After a slight pause, he explained: "However, humans are not gray sand beasts after all, and they can only consume the energy in the 'sand beads', and there is no way to replenish it, so the sand beads in the body of an adult gray sand beast can allow humans to survive under the desert for a maximum of '120 minutes', that is, two hours." If you can't get to the surface before the sand beads run out of energy, they may be crushed into blood by the huge pressure generated by the desert underground. ”

"Two hours?"

"Well, two hours!" Xiaoice nodded and said with great certainty.

"Boss, you can already do a lot of things in two hours!" Shi Sha interjected on the side.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's right, two hours have already done a lot of things." With sand beads, people can have the ability to escape under the desert, I can think so!"

"Yes!" Xiaoice hesitated and said again: "And if humans want to find the 'sand diamond' in the desert, they must also complete it with the assistance of the 'sand beads'!"

"Go on!" Li Zhi nodded thoughtfully.

Xiaoice said, "The bone armor of the gray sand beast is very hard and can be used as a material. The blood and flesh of the Grey Sand Beast can improve the physique of the human body, and the bone marrow in the head can strengthen the human ......"

After Xiaoice's introduction, everyone looked at each other, if it was really as Xiaoice said, this sand beast would be full of treasures!
