Chapter 9: Encounter, First Kill

More than ten kilometers, it doesn't seem to be far, if the view is good, find a higher mountain can see.

However, Zhang Qingyang knew that it was impossible, not to mention that the map depicted the terrain before the sandworms invaded, and now the yellow sand cover vegetation has been destroyed, and it has long been unrecognizable.

The biggest trouble is a unique force that permeates the surrounding area, with the erosion of the sand sea distorting the geomagnetism and air, the conventional visual distance is more than five kilometers, and what the eyes see is already in a trance, it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the false, and what is seen from the sky may not be real.

Therefore, one of the assessment indicators of this mission is the re-determination of the real topographic map.

If they want to reach the target point on the map, they can only grope through the ground, which inevitably leads to a conflict with the possible lurking sandworms.

Zhang Qingyang was fully mentally prepared, and after memorizing every detail of the map with his partners, he waved his arm decisively: "Go." ”

Lu Zhi walked about a hundred meters in front as a sharp soldier, which was also the farthest distance that Zhang Qingyang could rescue in time when he launched his skills, he and the other four formed a prismatic formation, quietly touched the ruins, and followed a winding route between the two sand dunes in front of him.

Lu Zhi walked forward on all fours, raising his nose from time to time to sniff, his sensitive sense of smell could detect the smell blown by the wind within ten kilometers, and he had learned all kinds of details of the smell of common sandworms in school and private training subjects.

Zhang Qingyang also increased the detection as much as possible.

The unfamiliar desert buffer zone is essentially a favorable geographical environment for sandworms, and they must be alert to potential dangers from the three dimensions of underground, sand dunes, and the air.

Sandworms have been fighting with humans for thousands of years, and in the desperate struggle, humans have evolved the pet beast warrior profession and the mecha master profession. Sandworms also produce a variety of mutations, and their abilities are even more varied, and it is impossible to count them clearly.

In the natural world, the fittest survive, and all life is trying to evolve.

The discovery of new species of sandworms is also one of the assessment indicators.

As he walked, Zhang Qingyang quickly engraved the lines of the surrounding terrain changes in his mind, as far as the eye could see, the sense of smell and the sensitive tactile feedback, and even the material of the gravel and the shape of the vegetation that lasted for a long time, all of which were clearly recorded.

As a medical assistant, Hu Ying, after merging with the pet beast two-tailed sky fox, held a large box, quickly scurried around in the middle of the formation, collected samples of the new discoveries marked by Zhang Qingyang and the four people, and classified and retained them.

Even with this division of labor, the whole team continued to advance as fast as a normal person, and it was not long before they entered the path between the two sand dunes.

The sandwich road is more than a kilometer long, the middle part is crescent-like curved, and the quicksand is blown to the ground by the wind to form a fish-scale slope, like a large insect crawling on the surface of the ground with a width of 100 meters.

Lu Zhi went all the way to about 300 meters, and a twisted sand ridge about three meters high suddenly appeared in front of him, obscuring his vision. He was just about to jump over without thinking, when he suddenly heard Zhang Qingyang's shouting order in his ears: "Stop!"

Zhang Qingyang takes the bridge of the soul as the leading, condensing the sound and meaning into spiritual power, compressing it into tiny marbles, and when it is launched like a brick, it is accurately projected into Lu Zhi's mind, so that it will not be heard or discovered by others.

Lu Zhi's left leg, which had already stepped out, came to an abrupt halt, and his heart flashed in surprise, without thinking much about it, and at the same time his body fell down, ready to burst out of a deadly attack at any time.

"Is there a situation?"

Seeing Zhang Qingyang's raised left hand, Zhao Feiyu and the four of them immediately became nervous and made a posture to fight.

"Something wasn't right, it was so quiet that I didn't notice a single movement of sandworms. ”

Zhang Qingyang frowned slightly, quickly glanced left and right at the sand dunes on both sides, and finally focused on the sand ridge in front of him.

The relationship between sandworms and humans is life-and-death, there is no such thing as a temporary truce, even if it is called a buffer zone, it is because there are no high-level powerful individuals for the time being, and they are suppressed by the seventy-first outpost and fall into a temporary low tide.

In the sand dunes and underground that are difficult to be touched by manpower, there must be low-level sandworms active, otherwise where did the young sandworms in Nanling City come from for people to fight and gamble? Those are all professional hunters or outpost military returns.

The spying and reconnaissance and sweeping strikes in similar areas have never stopped.

Zhang Qingyang remembered that his ancestor Zhang Tiezhu said with emotion in the manual that entering the territory of sandworms is like entering their stomachs, and it is impossible not to be discovered, but sooner or later it is just the strength and weakness that triggers the battle.

With his powerful spiritual power to perceive, he clearly perceived the deep evil thoughts hidden in the trance air that covered the sea of sand, and it was also an existence similar to the realm field.

Put yourself in his shoes, and if you want to fight an ambush, the terrain in front of you is suitable.

Zhang Qingyang drew a circle with a fist in his left hand, and the four of them shrank closer to him, and Lu Zhi also made a backward retreat gesture.

At this moment, the ground fifty meters in front of it exploded, and a huge wall of sand and gravel twenty or thirty meters wide rose up, cutting off the sight of the five-person group and the soldiers in front!

At the same moment, Zhang Qingyang thought of what Lieutenant Colonel Gu Feng said before leaving. Fighting the sandworm in the hinterland of the sandworm, this is the first time for him, the lion fights the rabbit and still has to use all his strength, at this time he doesn't dare to hold it up, and he doesn't want to keep his hand - because this is not an ordinary competition.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qingyang suddenly let out a thunderous roar, mixed with the sound waves and spiritual impact of the Frog Zen Master's six-character light mantra swept across the surroundings, encompassing all the fan-shaped areas with a radius of 100 meters.

Such a large-scale spiritual impact consumed more than a dozen bricks at once, in exchange for making all creatures below his strength, their minds and consciousness fall into a brief trance, and their movements and power output fell into a stuck.

Zhang Qingyang's figure leaped forward like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, two of them rose and fell in front of the rising sand giant wall. With a broken shout, his feet kicked out alternately, and after a sudden burst of light, the figure disappeared, instantly spanning a distance of fifty meters, bombarding the middle of the sand ridge in front of Lu Zhi, blasting out a trench that was several meters deep, and causing a terrible scream!

Another substantial qi blade shook and sliced through the huge wall of sand in front of it, pulling out a jagged arc-shaped wound, cutting most of the giant wall in half, and also arousing an even louder and piercing roar!

Boom!

The sand dunes on both sides exploded at the same time, and the violent force overturned dozens of tons of sand, forming a dense storm with a diameter of tens of meters, and instantly swept across the gap towards the remaining four people who gathered in the group.

Zhao Feiyu scolded: "Stop!"

The Phnom Penh Feather Brush Lash Rapid Tremor, forming a densely intertwined arc-shaped light and shadow curtain in front of it, intercepting the sandstorm that came from the top, and the staggered knife light contained in the killing machine cut through the wild sand, cutting the hidden sandworm into pieces!

On the other side, Zhu Yang shouted: "I've been guarding against you damn insects for a long time!"

He didn't lose half a step to stretch his wings, and a wave of blazing air rolled forward, not only blowing the wild sand backwards, but also turning the sand and gravel it touched into red-hot magma with a dazzling light, and burning the few sandworms hidden in it into charcoal!

But at the same time, under Jiang Zijun, who fell at the rear, a piece of hardened ground quietly fell!
