Chapter 816: Desert Sandworm
Du Ze rode a white camel and marched beside Chen Lin. He looked at a ray of golden light on the distant horizon and said, "It won't take long. The desert will become a sea of scorching fire. We can't go too fast. So as not to consume too much water in the body. ”
Chen Lin once traveled to the Sahara Desert. I have learned about the weather changes in the desert. Once the sun comes out. The sun will shine unobstructed on this vast sea. The temperature will rise rapidly.
The bright red tongue of the snowy sacred mastiff hangs outside. It was the first time it had been to a desert like this. Running around the caravan with joy. Soon it was defeated in the face of rapidly rising temperatures. Honestly climbed onto the back of an idle white hunchback. I dozed off in a daze.
After two days and nights of trekking in the Chiludong Desert. Everyone is beginning to feel the vagaries of the desert climate. The initial feeling of freshness and excitement has been completely worn away. Everyone is looking forward to leaving this harsh desert as soon as possible.
Tozawa's energy is always strong. He knew every piece of sand in this desert. After camping in front of a large colony of cacti. Du Ze pulled out the scimitar at his waist. Cut off the thick rhizomes of cacti. Quickly shave off the surface of the needle. Cut into small pieces. I stuffed it in my mouth and ate it comfortably.
Chen Lin finished drinking the water. Come to Douze's side. He whispered, "We still have a few days to get out of this desert." "Because it's dry. Chen Lin's voice was a little hoarse.
Du Ze laughed. A mouthful of white, neat teeth is exposed. He carefully inserted the scimitar into its sheath: "Seven days." But we're already in Tsar Ricardo's sphere of influence. From tonight onwards, the vigilance will be strengthened. ”
Ya Yi'an came over at some point. Hear the name of Tsar Ricardo. He looked a little alarmed: "The Tsar has thousands of sand thieves under his command. They can walk through the desert with ease. Take advantage of the special environment to launch a pursuit of merchants. I almost died at their hands last time. ”
Du Ze said: "What Boss Ya said is the art of sand swimming. These sand thieves are as unique in the desert as fish are in water. Their unique breathing and sand swimming techniques allow them to run freely below the sand. ”
Chen Lin gasped. If it's a face-to-face battle. He and his group of half-elf warriors naturally wouldn't be afraid. But if the sand thieves use this method to sneak attack. I'm afraid it will cause a lot of losses.
Du Ze smiled: "Tsar Rikadu rarely went to rob merchants near the cactus colony. As long as we do a good job of vigilance. There shouldn't be any accidents. ”
The temperature at night dropped rapidly. The moonlight illuminates the endless desert in a snow-white light. Most of the half-elven warriors had fallen asleep. Chen Lin covered the mink fur on his body for Xuan'er, who had just fallen asleep. Walk towards the sand dunes ahead.
Pu Gang led four half-elf warriors to take charge of the vigil. Blazing eyes looking in four different directions. I saw Chen Lin walking over. Several people hurriedly saluted. Chen Lin made a gesture. Signal them to be quiet. so as not to disturb the sleep of other companions.
"There's nothing out of the ordinary." Chen Lin asked in a low voice.
Pu Gang shook his head and said, "It's very calm." It doesn't look like there will be any enemies around. ”
He had just finished speaking. The snowy holy mastiff suddenly shook the long hair on its body. Huo Ran stood up from the ground. The little white dragon that snuggled up with it to warm up and slept ran to Chen Lin's feet like lightning. Chen Lin stretched out his hands and grabbed the little white dragon. He knew the little white dragon's keen premonition. It is deduced that something unusual must have happened.
The little white dragon's blue eyes looked in the direction of due north. Chen Lin raised his eyes and saw the yellow sand in the distance flowing slowly like a river. The speed is slow though. But the scope is huge. Approaching the place where they rested.
"What's that?" Pu Gang's eyes widened.
The alert Du Ze also got up and went to the top of the sand dunes. When he saw the scene ahead. His face changed suddenly. He said loudly, "Everyone, hurry up." Get out of this place. Here comes the sandworm. ”
Although Chen Lin didn't know what a sandworm was. But from Du Ze's frightened tone, he already sensed that great danger was coming.
Beckoned everyone to quickly pack up. Turning over, he stepped on the white camel and galloped away in the direction of due south.
The yellow sand is flowing faster and faster. The little golden worms the size of grapes were running fast on the sand. They cover a staggering area of about one square kilometer. The hard belly of the sandworm rubs against the yellow sand to make a rustling sound. The voice was like the footsteps of the Grim Reaper of Hell.
Chen Lin's expression was unprecedentedly grim. From time to time, he looked behind him. But I saw that the sandworms had swallowed the yellow sand and sprayed out. Look far away. A yellow sandstorm about ten meters high rose above the swarm of sandworms. And quickly approached their location. As long as their caravans are swallowed up by sandstorms. What awaits them is the end of the bones.
The snowy holy mastiff fled to Chen Lin's side in panic with the little white dragon on its back, and it was also terrified when it saw the terrifying scene in front of it.
Looking at the approaching swarm of sandworms, Chen Lin's heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom, such an innumerable sandworm is not something that can be stopped by manpower at all.
Pu Gang said loudly: "Master, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid we will all be trapped by sandworms, you go first, and I will lead the brothers to break off," he has already made up his mind to die, and intends to repay Chen Lin for saving his life with his life.
Chen Lin resolutely said: "If you want to go together, no one can stay," in the current situation, even if Pu Gang led the half-elf warriors to break off, it would not play any role.
Xuan'er strangled the white camel and said, "You go, I'll deal with these sandworms,"
The white wings slowly stretched out, Xuan'er's blue eyes revealed a determined light, Chen Lin said loudly: "Xuan'er, you must be careful,"
Xuan'er smiled, and her delicate body rose vertically into the sky, drawing a silver trajectory in the black night sky.
Chen Lin knew that Xuan'er had the ability to manipulate birds, and he must want to use the power of birds to deal with these countless sandworms, so he gave an order: "Throw away unnecessary goods and white camels, and run as many pieces as you can,"
Ya Yi'an watched with a bitter face as the half-elf warrior threw the goods on his hunchback, and wailed in pain: "Don't ......" But compared to money and life, it is obvious that the latter is more important.
Xuan'er's delicate body spun up rapidly in the sky, the delicate sound waves were sent far away in the night sky, and a wisp of golden light in the distant sky was lightning close to Xuan'er's location, one, two, three, in just five minutes, there were thousands of birds with golden feathers and long beaks gathered around Xuan'er's delicate body, this bird is called Long-beaked Eagle, which lives in the desert and is the natural enemy of sandworms.
At this time, the insect wave formed by the sandworms was already less than fifty meters away from the tail end of the camel caravan, and the sand mist sprayed out was scattered with the wind, which greatly affected Chen Lin's vision.
