Chapter 8: The Sand Thieves Are Coming
The Bourre Oasis is small, with little to offer and is home to just over a hundred people. But the Boer Oasis is also famous, because on top of the oasis, there is a very old stone fort.
No one knows how many years this stone fort has passed, let alone how it was built in the middle of a patch of yellow sand, and the only thing people know is that when the Boer Oasis was first discovered, the stone fort was already standing there.
The Stone Fort had no name, and passing caravans called it the Abandoned Fort, and the people of the Boer Oasis called the Stone House.
The stone fort is divided into three floors, more than 20 meters high, and the ground floor covers an area of about one acre. Judging from the system, the purpose of this stone fort was to be used as a sentry post.
Sam Bellamy is the squadron leader of the Sand Wolf Thieves. Outsiders don't know that the sand wolf thieves are not sand thieves, but the army, they have a special mission to enter the desert, but the human heart is unpredictable, after entering the desert, the sand wolf thieves slowly deteriorated, and finally became what they are now.
The Sand Wolf Thief is still following the instructions from above, but secretly he is already making other plans. This time, Sam was sent to attack the Shang Xiang caravan in order to get something and thus complete their entire plan.
In fact, Sam didn't know what he was going to rob, and the task given to him by the commander was to capture Edward, the leader of Shangxiang's caravan, alive, and kill all the others.
After a night of preparation, Sam took a hundred of his subordinates to the Boer Oasis, as Tang Dou speculated, Sam has an adjutant, named Henry Morgan, his war spirit is the sand devouring scorpion, not only has good combat effectiveness, but also can command the sand devouring scorpion, the black plague that attacked the Shangxiang caravan at the beginning was done by Henry, but he never thought that in the end, the Shangxiang caravan would break his sand devouring scorpion array.
When he went out, Henry was very confident, and he set off with ten people, thinking it would be an easy task, but he didn't know that it would be like this. However, Henry was a very ruthless man, and he immediately thought of a new way, and while asking Sam for help, he ran to the Oasis of Bour first, killing all the people there, deliberately leaving some half-dead people.
The healers of the Shangxiang caravan are notoriously soft-hearted, so Henry knows very well that he can drag the caravan here. He wasn't even afraid that the caravan would see through his plans. Because even if the caravan people saw through it, they would not give up on those who were injured, and with the drag of these people, it was absolutely impossible for the caravan to run to the next oasis before Sam's support arrived.
In fact, Sam's support was much faster than Henry had imagined, because Sam took this operation very seriously and had already sent the brigade over. Whether it's finishing up or supporting, he can arrive in the fastest time.
"Boss! This is it. Those people are all inside! Henry pointed to the earthy stone castle road.
"What's new?" Sam asked.
"They sent out the Horned Eagle, and it seems that they are already on the alert. I don't think we will have much time! "It's not that Henry doesn't want to leave the Horned Eagle behind, he just can't. The horned eagle flying at an altitude of thousands of meters is not something that anyone can deal with, if there is no corresponding flying demon beast, where can it be caught?
Sam glanced at the dead birds hovering over the Boer Oasis, there were few flying there anymore, but no matter how they heard their calls, he always felt a kind of dissatisfaction. Death birds are a very strange monster, they are absolute speculators, empty strength, timid thieves, even an ordinary person with a stick can scare them away. But their attachment to the sky is very strong, and if something dares to fly in their territory, they will definitely attack with all their might, and they will not die!
So Sam was a little strange about how the other party released the horned eagle when there was a dead bird.
Henry knew what Sam was thinking when he saw Sam's expression, and smiled bitterly: "Boss." You don't know. At first there were forty or fifty dead birds, and I don't know what the people inside did, and all the dead birds went crazy and pounced, and then none of them flew up. It was at that time that the horned eagle was released. Now these are all coming later. ”
"Tell me what's going on with your Sand Devouring Scorpion? You've never missed a shot! Sam wasn't angry, just curious. In the face of more than a thousand sand devouring scorpions, how did Shang Xiang's caravan escape.
Henry told what happened, because he was observing from a distance, so he didn't know that the sand devouring scorpion was not dead, and thought that the Shangxiang caravan had researched a poison that could directly poison the sand devouring scorpion.
"A poison that can poison the sand devouring scorpion? Hey, it looks like we're going to have to be careful, if they use this stuff on us, it's definitely going to be a nuisance. Moreover, they also collected the corpse of the Sand Devouring Scorpion, so they may also use the poison of the Sand Devouring Scorpion. Sam muttered.
"Chief, if we want to use poison, we are not afraid of them. Besides, those guys can't be opponents of the brothers at all, even if they use poison, it's useless! Henry said viciously.
Because Shang Xiang's caravan broke his sand devouring scorpion array, his hatred for the caravan can now be said to have accumulated to its peak.
"Anyway, it's always good to be careful. The stakes are so high this time, I've already made a military order with the commander, and if we can't complete the mission, none of us will want to go back alive! Sam said in a deep voice, "In this case, Henry, you can send another batch of Sand Devouring Scorpions to attack." Let's see what means the other party has, and it's not bad to consume the other party's poison! ”
"Okay, boss!" Henry took out a pure black beast flute of unknown material from his bosom. The beast flute was in the shape of a sand devouring scorpion.
Henry whined the beast flute, and at the same time, behind him, a huge black sand devouring scorpion battle spirit appeared, extremely condensed and lifelike. It can be seen that Henry's strength has reached the peak state of the silver level, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the gold level.
With the low sound of the flute, a rustling sound began to appear in the surrounding desert, and after a while, one after another sand devouring scorpions appeared around everyone.
These sand scorpions are actually collected by Henry usually takes the time to collect, and when he acts, he will take these sand scorpions with him, let them act under the sand layer around him, and only call them out when needed, after all, the sand scorpions have a ferocious temperament, once they are stimulated by something, he is fine, and his colleagues will be unlucky.
One sand devouring scorpion after another quickly appeared. In a short time, more than a thousand sand devouring scorpions turned the sand surface black.
Henry had a total of almost 3,000 Sand Devouring Scorpions, and he thought that he could clean up Shangxiang's caravan by sending more than 1,000 of them, but he didn't expect to lose them all, and now the rest is all he can do at present.
"Go!" After summoning all the sand devouring scorpions, Heng used a finger of his hand, and all the sand devouring scorpions rushed into the oasis like a black tide.
The scorpion colony found no one in the oasis, but they soon sensed that something in the stone castle was attracting them, and all the sand devouring scorpions immediately rushed towards the stone castle.
"Oh? Did you hide in a stone castle? Hmph, think it's safe this way? Henry snorted coldly, blew the beast flute again, and gave the order to kill all living things.
In Henry's imagination, even if the Shangxiang caravan still had a poison that could poison the sand devouring scorpion, so many scorpions rushed over, and there was some movement, and then to the surprise of Henry and the others, after the sand devouring scorpion entered the stone castle, it did not cause any movement at all. The stone castle was like a monster with a wide open mouth, devouring all the scorpions, leaving nothing behind.
"What's going on?" Sam asked, puzzled.
Henry was also puzzled, and continued to blow his beast flute, but there was no reaction at all.
"All poisoned?" Sam Road.
Henry blew the beast flute a few more times, but there was still no response, and in a fit of rage, he took a few steps forward and blew with all his might.
Woo!
The beast whistle made a wailing sound.
Burst!
Henry's head exploded suddenly, as if it had been smashed by an invisible hammer.
Behind Henry's corpse, a deep hole with blood signaled that something had been plunged deep into it.
"Watch out for the archers!" Sam and the others were so frightened that everyone immediately lay down and hid behind the riding beast sand scorpion.
"How is that possible? We are seven hundred meters away from the stone fort, and ordinary bows and arrows can only shoot more than four hundred meters, how can Henry be shot? Someone shouted, a little panic in his voice.
The physical fitness of the people in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm far surpassed those in Tang Dou's previous life world, but even so, the range of the bow and arrow was between four hundred and five hundred meters. Although it is true that there is a super bow with a range of more than 1,000 meters, but that kind of bow is all big guys with a pulling force of more than 20 stones, and only soul cultivators who take the power-type route can use it, but how many people with that strength go to be archers?
There is only one guy like Tang Dou in the world.
The Twenty Stone Roaring Sky has an effective range of 900 meters. The distance of seven hundred meters was far from the limit of the Roaring Sky Bow.
Tang Dou had already aimed at Henry on the third floor of the stone castle, but this guy was hiding behind the crowd at the beginning, and the shooting angle was not good enough, so Tang Dou never made a move, of course, part of the reason was that he wanted Henry to get those sand devouring scorpions into the stone castle, on the one hand, to collect, on the other hand, to drop an invisible threat.
Now that the scorpion is done, the guy who controls the scorpion is finished, and Tang Dou is a little relieved.
"Great, Brother Di shot, really shot!" A caravan guard who was following Tang Dou shouted excitedly to the people below.
Everyone in the caravan let out a sigh of relief. They all knew what kind of threat a soul cultivator who could control the Sand Devouring Scorpion would bring, not that they could have a potion that could paralyze the Sand Devouring Scorpion.
"Alright, let's quickly extract the poison of the Sand Devouring Scorpion, and the war is about to start!" Hyperion said in a deep voice.
As a healer, Highbury did not support the use of poison in battle, but he was not a pedantic person, and he knew that it was useless to talk about morality with the sand wolf thief, not to mention that the old man was also very angry now, angry at the inhuman killing of the sand wolf thief.
All the healers immediately intervened and began to extract the venom of the sand devouring scorpions. The guards carefully smeared the venom on their weapons. (To be continued.) )
