Act II: The Eye of Dying Chapter 67: Dark Tide (Invasion)
Ressa's team did not explore the lower area of this turret again, this was a decision made by Ressa and Icarus after discussion, judging from the broken chronicles, on the eve of the Celestial Beast Era, the patriarch of the Phil family had obviously fallen into a mad stage, then, the number of monsters known as the Emperor of the Desert, I am afraid that the number of breeding has reached a very terrifying level.
And Ressa also found that as he approached the central area, this was the third garrison turret, and the strange existence of the Devourer had already appeared, so the level of danger in the back would probably be even higher, so it was debatable whether it was to explore the past little by little and start directly looking for the ultimate secret. After all, everyone's supplies are limited, and just by coming to the third turret, most of the reserves have already been consumed.
Resa didn't know why Icarus cared so much about this, but he knew that Icarus wouldn't be willing to do so if he didn't fully understand the secrets.
Therefore, after discussion, the outer turret will basically not have any other supplies except ammunition, and at most some information can be obtained in order to understand the current situation. And these secrets, the central royal city must not be missing.
"I find you're interested here!" Resa looked at Icarus, who was adjusting his firearm, with interest, and asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"Ah~!" Icarus sighed, then looked at Ressa meaningfully, "Because this is the hometown of someone who is very important to me. ”
Ressa nodded and patted Icarus on the shoulder, by this time they had already found the passage connecting the garrison turret, and unlike the previous times, this time the passage was not broken.
"Are you sure we're going through this connecting tunnel?" Icarus looked at the passage, and although it was only a little more than a hundred meters away, it still looked like it was pitch black at the end.
"No, I'm not sure!" Ressa shook her head, such a path to go on, it is really not necessary for them to fly safely.
"That's a hammer!" Icarus was speechless.
"I'm just taking you down to have a look, and by the way, I just broke the idea that you don't want to be a helicopter!" The corners of Ressa's mouth curled slightly.
"I know, I know! So you're going to persecute me again, aren't you? Icarus spread his hands.
"So please!" Ressa clapped her hands: "Let's start!" Let's head to the next platform! ”
"Wait a minute, where we go?" Icarus hurriedly interrupted Resa: "You mean I'm going to fly you to the opposite platform?" ”
"Or else? I don't care! But can you bear to let these delicate girls go up again? Ressa pointed to Lycoris, Sister Na and the others.
"Are you sure these aren't big men?" Icarus pointed at Simon and the others.
"Vice! You have to treat everyone equally! Besides, I never pick my feet! Feige protested.
"It's just, how can you say we're picking our feet? Too much, right? Simon coaxed.
"I'm .........," Icarus lamented, "what a human right!" ”
"That's why I said, it's good that you're in charge of taking off, but you have to talk a lot!" Resa laughed dryly: "Get ready!" Icarus helicopter, start! ”
"I really believe in your wickedness!"

At the same time, the underground of Phil Haiz is underground, a new change is emerging, a large number of blood-red sandworms are constantly shuttling underground, these sandworms are not big, basically more than a meter long, arm-thick blood-red sandworms, these sandworms look carefully and the sandworms that Ressa and others have encountered before, these sandworms have many pairs of short legs in their abdomen, but because they crawl on the ground, it is generally difficult to see those feet.
The heads of these sandworms have a hard shell and several horns, which Icarus would have recognized if he was here, and they bear a striking resemblance to the Desert Emperor mentioned in the Chronicles.
These sandworms quickly spread around, and as they spread, the sandworms that had been hiding under the sea of sand began to panic, and these sandworms began to flee in panic. Some slower sandworms were caught up by the Emperor of the Desert, and the blood-red sandworms easily penetrated through the cuticular cortex and invaded the body.
These sand worms invaded by the blood-colored sandworms first spasmed all over their bodies, stirring up waves of sand, but the spasms did not last long, and they fell into an eerie silence.
A dark red cuticle will begin to emerge on their bodies, their heads will be covered in a layer of hard armor, and several sharp horns will still exude a chill even in the sea of sand.
It seems that they are clearly enlarged versions of the blood-colored sandworms, but they have a new difference compared to the Emperor of the Desert, at least their abdomen does not grow that dense short legs.
The muted sandworms no longer fled, but instead began to crawl in an orderly manner towards the center of the sand sea, the royal area of Philheiz.
……………………
I don't know if it's an illusion, Resa and his party always feel that the ground under their feet is shaking gently, but when they look at it with the naked eye, they can't see any clues, but this feeling has been continuing.
"I say, do you feel the ground tremble?" Simon asked, confused.
"It seems to be there, and it seems to be not, this feeling is indescribable!" Mo Qianyan closed his eyes and felt it, and said slowly.
"It's trembling, it's very slight." Natasha said as she felt something, "It's so slight that it's impossible to detect with the naked eye." ”
"Something seems to be down there! It's a lot, it's confusing! "Lico and Liz unleashed their psychic abilities, and they only felt the movement below.
"Is it a sandworm?" Feige asked uncertainly, "That's about five or six hundred meters high!" This has to be a shake caused by many sandworms."
"There should be no minority!" "I just don't know why they rioted," Resa said. ”
Icarus lowered his head and pondered, but suddenly thought of something: "Oh no, it's dangerous here, quickly, let's find a safe indoor environment first, if the sandworms riot on a large scale, it's still dangerous for us to stay outside." ”
"Poof.................. a huge pillar of sand erupted, bringing up dust and sand in the sky.
As if to confirm his words. Immediately afterward, pillars of sand were sprayed one after another, and it rained sand in the area. Even Ressa's group could see that the intact passage they had seen before was twisted and deformed by the impact of a pillar of sand.
"Everyone, be careful, let's find a safe indoor environment to shelter first." Ressa's heart was cold, at this time, the sandworm riot, for them, can be said to be the worst situation, just settled in this turret, they have not explored anywhere, for them, there is no way to know in the dark, there is any danger waiting for them.........
