A day later.

In the early morning heat, Lin An and his entourage set off again.

More than twenty snow-white dromedaries walked on the fine sand, and the rising sun was already so hot that it was no different from noon, even though Salin and the others were wearing robes or equipment with constant thermostats, under such a harsh sun, there was a feeling of dry mouth.

Athena slumped on William's back.

Although her body is transformed and is not disturbed by the environment, she doesn't like barren and boring environments like deserts after all, coupled with Lin An's previous intimidation, she knows that she must always follow behind those two "terrifying" half-step legends, and Xiao Lori is a little listless.

Titi and William, who were all in darkness and even felt hot for them, were in high spirits, and the divine power attributes they had inherited were like fish in water in this extremely harsh environment, and they were so energetic that even Sidney couldn't help but look sideways, looking at them again and again.

Except for the two special cases of Titi and Athena, only Lin An was relatively unaffected.

The constant elemental balance on her robe not only helps to cast spells in normal times, but also continuously absorbs the scarce water elements nearby in this environment, creating a relatively balanced elemental environment on Lin An's body, so Lin An feels not much different from usual except that the daylight is too bright.

Riding on the back of a camel that is lying together, the sun also makes people unable to read books**, Saleen has nothing to say.

"Andre, they said that they would meet directly at the border of Ponto, I don't know how they crossed this desert, and if they take a detour, I'm afraid they won't be able to reach it on time."

"Maybe their master's retreat is near Ponto?"

John, who had just picked up the water bladder and drank some water, was still interested in answering, and the two somehow talked about this topic, and looked at Lin An together after speaking.

The dromedary camel that Lin An was riding was right next to Titi.

Those dromedaries didn't know why, as soon as Titi rode up, she fell to her knees on all fours, and she couldn't get up alive, so Lin An had to let Titi walk. He also had no ambition, and followed closely next to Lin An's dromedary.

The dromedary camel that Lin An was riding was not affected by him, and Lin An suspected that Titi was intentional at all. He probably didn't think these ordinary dromedaries were worthy of being his mount - I really didn't know the memory of Kronos. What kind of mess has been instilled in Titi's mind?

Seeing Salin and Johnn looking over, Lin An blinked, "I don't know about this either......"

Before she finished speaking, she was pulled by Titi, Lin Anzheng thought that Titi's desire for exclusivity had flinched again, and turned his head to look at Titi, but saw him looking behind the side.

Follow his gaze. Lin An didn't find anything, but she wouldn't think that Titi was deliberately causing trouble:

Just like her in the forest and grassland, the countless sand and gravel in the Gobi Desert are also Titi's eyes, and Lin An uses Titi's natural perception in the desert. At a distance of one day, he still maintained a general grasp of Lancester's party, and he had not yet been noticed by the two half-step legends.

Lin An motioned for Salin to stop.

Before he could ask Titi, he heard Salin say, "What's that?" ”

Lin An turned around, at the end of the undulating sand dunes as far as the eye could see. A faint grayish yellow seeped into the sky, and it seemed to be a huge amount of sand and dust raised, but it was so inconspicuous that it would not be noticeable if you didn't look closely.

"Is it a sandstorm?" John solemnized and looked at the dromedary beneath him.

Thanks to the natural guide called Titi. In addition, they wanted to ensure that their whereabouts were hidden, and they did not ask for a guide before entering the desert Gobi, Johnmu could see that dromedaries were very uneasy, but unlike the reaction of burying them in a circle when encountering a terrible natural disaster such as a sandstorm, they looked restless, contrary to the usual tameness, but what the reaction of these dromedaries meant, Johnmu could not decipher.

"It doesn't look like a sandstorm," the dust was still far away, and Saleen blessed himself with an eagle eye technique, squinting for a while, "It's a big camel caravan, as if it was being chased by something." ”

"Hmm." Lin An's eyes were sharp, and after listening to Salin's words, he could vaguely distinguish them.

……

In the desperate run, Gustav was out of breath.

His camel had long since been left behind because he hadn't run fast enough, and as he ran, his legs stuck in the soft sand, and the scorching sand flowed into the expensive pair of enchanted boots at his feet, soaked with sweat, stuffy, hot, and heavy.

But he didn't have time to feel this discomfort, he didn't dare to slow down at all, and the people who were still alive around him were also desperately mustering up their fighting spirit, and the rustle behind them was like a slight rustle of sand and gravel, like a scythe of death, with a chill that seeped bones, like a shadow.

Around Gustav, in addition to Tomia and Anatoly, there were nearly eighty people who left the "Black Rose" with them yesterday, and now there are less than ten left.

Half of them were desperately delaying and dying when they encountered the desert reapers, snatching a glimmer of life for him and Tomya, while the rest were slow down in the desperate run, mercilessly devoured by the grim reapers, who were following closely behind, with only a scream, not even a trace of cry for help.

The three of Gustav were bleeding from their hearts, and the dead followers were loyal men who had followed them for many years, and they still did not dare to look back, and fled frantically under the stimulus of death.

"Tomia - be careful!"

Tomia in front of him leaned forward, and was pulled by Gustav and a servant who still had a little strength left, and after stumbling a few steps, he luckily did not fall, and continued to run with fear on his face, when suddenly Anatoly in front shouted:

"Look, there's someone up ahead!"

"Damn, are these idiots looking for death? Stand still and stand still! ”

As if it should be the same as what they had discovered before, the Grim Reapers behind them also smelled the smell of meat, and the slight sound of fine sand under the stimulation of food seemed to be suddenly closer, and Gustav and the others were like being pricked in the buttocks, and their feet immediately sped up a little, and at the same time they cursed.

"Turn! Turn! ”

One of the guides running near them suddenly screamed, and at the same time waved desperately at the small camel team in front of them, and shouted hoarsely, "Go, don't come with me, you run!" ”

At the same time, he immediately deflected his body and ran wildly in the direction that diverged from Lin An and the others.

In view of the fact that this guide, who had no vindictive spirit, had shown himself in the previous escape, Gustav and the others did not hesitate. Immediately followed the guide and fled, in the direction of diverging from Lin An and the others.

Behind them, the black ant colony that came along the sand dunes like a tide paused for a moment. Split in two, surging in both directions.

……

"It turned out to be a colony of desert demon ants."

Sit on a soft cloud. Lin An looked at the demon ants below like a black wave of activity, as if they were slowly and quickly spreading over the bodies of the twenty dromedaries running wildly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the demon ants reappeared after being covered, and in those twenty days or so, the dromedary camel was only left with a pale skeleton full of holes, as if it had been weathered and corroded for decades, and there was not even a trace of flesh and blood left on it!

And these black-pressed demon ants were still not satisfied after engulfing the twenty-four dromedary camels, and the human breath and energy on Lin An and the others were frantically attracting them. After a buzzing sound, these demon ants actually flew up overwhelmingly, flying in a black arc towards the clouds where Lin An and the others were.

Only when these demon ants rush towards people like a wave, will they really feel the horror of these "desert deaths" -

Seeing these demon ants actually flying. Lin An was also slightly startled, and hurriedly asked Athena to raise the clouds and fly backwards.

flew until it was more than thirty zhang high, and the black clouds behind the clouds became more and more sparse, and finally the follow-up was weak. It fell like a black rain, and they gathered together unwillingly, stacking a long pillar like a thin stick under the clouds.

Billions of knuckle-sized black demon ants climbed on top of each other, rustling beneath the clouds, knowing that they were no longer able to threaten them. Everyone on the clouds still felt like they were numb all over.

These desert demon ants in this Gobi Desert are known as one of the four gods of death along with sandstorms, quicksand and bandits, and they are extremely greedy for substances containing energy, and even the enchantment built by magic will be slowly eroded and broken, and although the body is small, the life is tenacious and hard, and most people can only flee when they encounter it in the desert, but they cannot destroy them.

And the desert demon ant is just their collective name, among the countless ant species, the flying desert demon ant is not common, but I didn't expect them to encounter this kind of opportunity rarely.

Lin An was a little tempted, wanting to grab some specimens and go back to study, but Sidney next to him was already moved, his silver eyes flickered, staring straight down.

"Oh, what do those demon ants want to do!"

A crisp voice sounded, Athena lay on the edge of the clouds and looked down, the top of the thin black pillar below was swinging around, and the demon ants at the top were crawling violently, as if something was brewing.

"Athena, stand back!"

A slight sense of uneasiness made Lin An hurriedly order Athena to distance herself and fly into the distance.

But it was a little too late, I saw that the black thin pillar followed and tilted in the direction of the clouds, and the black ants at the top moved even more, and a violent buzzing sound sounded, and suddenly the thin pillar snapped, the top was shortened, and countless finger-sized black ants shot into the clouds like bullets!

"Wind Wall Technique!"

Holding the spell with his fingers, Lin An raised his hand, and a pale cyan wind wall appeared in front of him, and countless black dots collided, making a crackling sound.

As soon as it was touched, the wind wall shattered instantly, and a large piece of demon ants fell, with a little blue light, and the remaining large black clouds continued to buzz towards the clouds.

Fortunately, Athena had already controlled the clouds to fly some distance at this time, and the black cloud of demon ants, which was powerless, finally fell again.

"Wow!"

Flying away for a while, Athena hugged William tightly, burying her little face in her long hair, and Titi clinging to Lin An, as if she noticed that she was secretly smoothing the goosebumps on her skin.

At this time, Salin's voice sounded, and there was a slight palpitation, "It is worthy of the name of 'Desert Death', if it weren't for these desert demon ants who never left the desert range for some reason, I'm afraid this continent would have been occupied by their powerful reproductive ability." ”

Lin An was silent.

She has dispelled the idea of obtaining specimens, and has seen the greed of these demon ants for energy, and it is better not to take these greedy gods out of the desert until there is a way to safely preserve them and prevent them from leaking.
