44. Sandstorms
"Mingguang, how is it, did you learn anything from this trip?"
"Instructor Hillary, thank you for taking me on this trip, I learned a lot!"
"Well, there is a lot of knowledge, it's useless to just talk about it, only if you really experience it, you can learn something from it, we instructors are old, and the future will be the era of you young people, you have to work hard!"
"Yes! Instructor! ”
"Huh...... Well, that guy from Gree went to make small talk to Potter again, tsk! ”
The night in the desert seemed very calm, after dinner, the hunters in the pioneer team also gathered in a few small circles to chat, here, an instructor named Hillary and his disciple Mingguang, after speaking, he suddenly saw on the Gobi, a sturdy hunter is walking towards the hunter who is guarding.

"Hey, Potter, look, I've got something for you!"
Gree shook his hand at Potter.
"Huh? Is it beer...... Gree, I understand your kindness, I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders now, but I can't drink. ”
In fact, the reason why beer can become the favorite drink of hunters is because of its low alcohol content, it can be used as a simple thirst-quenching drink for hunters with excellent physique, and no matter how much you drink, you will not get drunk.
But for Potter, even a little bit of influence on his judgment would not allow it in such a situation, preferring to be a little more nervous so that his concentration could be more concentrated.
"Don't worry, there are two vice-captains of the experienced Captain Gofan, Quirrell and Golden Gun, which of the first six explorations has had an accident?"
It seems that the three hunters who sat on the blanket to discuss the itinerary just now are the three captains of the first and second lieutenants of this development team, and it can also be heard from Gree's words that the other members of the development team are very convinced by these three captains.
"Don't be careless, don't forget, the leader of the Jungle Pioneer Team, Kokot, is no less capable than our captain, but they are not miserable!"
Potter was more cautious than Gree.
"Hey! It's not that you don't know, they met the steel dragon! That's the most terrifying and powerful ancient dragon among the monsters, so there's no way around it. ”
Gree finally felt that he could convince Potter, who knew that Potter shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, after that steel dragon was repelled by the Great Elder Task Force, it ran to the desert area, and no one can guarantee that the incident of the Jungle Pioneer Team will not happen again!" ”
"Hah! Ha! Ha" Gree laughed heartily, "The guild has searched for so long, but has not found any trace of the steel dragon, in fact, everyone has long guessed that the steel dragon is probably along the desert's "Snow Desert Mountains", from the desert south, to its lair [Snow Mountain]!" ”
“……”
This time, Potter didn't refute it, and Gree's words might have hit his heart.
"Forget it, forget it, see why you don't want to drink it, grunt, grunt~~ Then I'll drink it myself, you can talk to me."
Gree poured beer into his mouth and said that Hillary, who was under the Gobi just now, saw through Gree's mind at a glance, and Gree's intention in coming to Potter was not to drink together, but to find someone to chat.
"I'll tell you...... Sand...... Sand...... Sand ......"
Gree paused, as if he was brewing something, but from the expression on his face, it didn't look like it.
"What do you want to say......"
Potter was a little puzzled, but before he could finish his question, Gree was already screaming.
"Sandstorm !!"
Gree's shouts resounded in the quiet desert night, and his voice was clearly heard by both those who were not asleep and those who were asleep.
"What? Dust storm?! Quick, all up, pack up, and get ready to resist! ”
The members of the pioneer team under the Gobi did not have the slightest suspicion, and they were busy non-stop, in the desert, it is meaningless to race against the sandstorm, rather than dodging, it is better to resist on the spot to reduce losses.
Woo~~Woo~~~Woo~~~~~
At this time, Potter, who was half a beat slow to react because he turned back to chat with Gree, also saw the signs of a dark sandstorm in the distance, which even the starry sky at night was muddy, and he immediately blew the horn flute, and the loud horn flute sound of the high pit was transmitted.
"Strange!"
"Something is wrong!"
"Miyin, you go and inform everyone to pay attention, the situation may not be so simple!"
In a tent, the three captains had gathered together for the first time, and instead of preparing for the errand of resisting the sandstorm like the others, they were worried, frowning, sitting opposite each other, thinking together.
"According to the Scholars' Guild's detection report, as well as our previous exploration experience, it should be impossible for a sandstorm of this scale to form during this period!"
Vice Captain Quirrell said in a deep voice.
In the desert, sandstorms are a common natural phenomenon, once attacked by sandstorms, although the personnel will generally be fine, but will cause great material losses to the development team, therefore, the prevention of sandstorms is a very important thing, the development team will repeatedly confirm that it will not encounter large-scale sandstorms before departure.
The warm period is the time when sandstorms are high, so the Hunters' Guild generally prohibits hunters from going to the desert during the warm period.
Now, the three captains, who were sitting in their tents thousands of miles away, had received first-hand information that the sandstorm that was sweeping in the direction of their pioneer party was large.
"Will it be a small probability event?"
Although things were unexpected, they couldn't understand the reason for this situation, and the vice captain of the Golden Gun could only guess so.
"No, there's another possibility!" At this time, Captain Gefan, who was in his fifties, but still old and strong, had a gleam in his eyes and said, "It's it, it's there!" ”
"It?"
The deputy captain of the golden gun was stunned, and he didn't understand what Captain Gofan was talking about.
"What! Is it really it! ”
However, Vice Captain Quirrell quickly understood what Captain Gofan was talking about, and his face changed when he boarded.
“…… Could it be that it's a steel dragon?! ”
Finally an experienced vice-captain, the golden gun finally came to his senses.
Yes, in this season when there should not be a large sandstorm, but a large sandstorm suddenly appeared, and was bumped into by their pioneer team, in addition to the possibility of a small probability event, there is only the ancient dragon monster that has been repulsed and disappeared without a trace after being repulsed - steel dragon!
Only a steel dragon that can manipulate the wind freely and at will can easily set off a huge sandstorm!
Of course, this is just speculation on the part of the three of them right now, but always prepare for the worst.
The three captains could no longer sit still, and immediately went out of the tent and began to tell the others to be fully prepared for the enemy.
