Chapter 168: Sand Monster!

Li Xiang stared at him with a monster-like look and said: "He Ming, a person who stirs up the storm in the city by himself, says that his martial arts are passable, but I am afraid that he is too modest, but you know the road of the desert, but seriously?" ”

If I say that the map on the wall looks like I drew it, I don't know if you believe it or not? He Ming replied calmly: "I have been to the desert once, and I remember that map better than anyone else, and I can clearly identify all kinds of terrain. ”

Li Xiang still asked a little suspiciously: "We are ready to spend a long time exploring, looking for that first oasis, and our expectations for that map are not very high, do you ...... Can you prove what you just said? ”

He Ming smiled slightly, looked around, and after finding no suspicious people, he slowly drew the sandy road leading to the oasis on the map with his sword on the ground, and said:

"At the beginning of the desert, there was a half-day journey of ordinary white sand, without the slightest danger, but there was no wealth to be gained. After that, I entered the sea of sand monsters, except for the marked road, which can be used as a signpost, everything else is changing rapidly, of course, even this road, it may change. ”

Li Xiang stretched out a hand to stop his movements: "Enough, this has already made me suspect that the picture was drawn by you, these are enough proof, quickly erase it, let's get ready and go!" ”

He Ming didn't bother to think much about the identities and behaviors of these people, at least before arriving at the destination, these people would not find trouble for themselves, and as long as they went out of Tucheng together, they were not afraid of coming to trouble themselves.

After Li Xiang explained the situation to Boss Zhao, Boss Zhao really didn't say a word, prepared a good horse for each of them, and after arranging certain supplies for them, he sent two of his men to follow them to the desert to find an oasis.

Having experienced many different regional explorations, He Ming also knows very well what these people want to do, one step ahead of others to grasp the resources that those adventurers can endure to survive, and snatch the last copper plate from the hands of those who exchange their lives for wealth, judging from Boss Zhao's two big-shouldered and round-waisted men, it is very clear.

However, Li Xiang's group of adventurers knew at a glance that they were not on the same road, and He Ming couldn't figure out what they were thinking, the only thing that was certain was that none of these people were idle, and all of them were outlaws.

After all, he didn't care about these things at all, because he himself needed to go deep into the desert, and unlike these people, it just happened that these people could help him.

In the inn opened by Boss Zhao, these people had a hasty night's rest, and at dawn the next day, these people got on their horses and left the city, and He Ming took on the role of a guide as a matter of course.

And after leaving the city, they did not rush their horses to run too quickly, but slowly maintained some of the horse's physical strength, and when they entered the desert, they galloped and rushed to the first oasis as soon as possible.

Before arriving at the desert, Li Xiang only said one sentence to He Ming: "When we arrive at the Sea of Sand Monsters, let's stop for a while and contact those Sand Monsters in order to assess the risks they pose. ”

He Ming also thought deeply of this, and they rushed to the white sand land when it was almost noon, and after feeding the horses and recovering their strength, they began to urge the horses to run quickly.

Boss Zhao was obviously very concerned about this exploration, and the horses that these people rode ran to the position between the white sand and the yellow sand in one go, and they didn't see the slightest fatigue, and the changes in the sand informed them:

Now they were on the edge of the sea of sand monsters, where countless dangers and legends had been passed down from ancient times to the present, and the yellow sand in front of them had been swimming endlessly, moving repeatedly like a living being, but also as vague as an illusion.

He Ming pointed to the middle of the swimming desert and said: "Even the sand here is still relatively stable, and walking along it will not cause the gathering of sand monsters, once you get out of here, it is very likely to lose your way, but even if it is a stable route now, it cannot be guaranteed that it will not change." ”

He Yuntong looked at Li Xiang: "Can you feel any breath here?" ”

Li Xiang said: "It's not clear, but it's very dangerous, mixed in it, I can't tell whether there is a sense of freedom in it, but there must be a breath of life surging in it, to figure out what these are, you can't see it from the outside." ”

When He Ming heard what they said, he turned over and dismounted, stepped into the surging gravel, and stood still in a patch of sand that was constantly changing.

Li Xiang originally wanted to drive a horse to make a bait and try whether the legendary sand monster really existed, but the madman in front of him actually walked in to make the bait by himself without hesitation, and couldn't help but sigh that this person was really a madman.

Nothing changed in a few minutes, but a more discerning person could feel that the sand was changing more frequently.

He Mingyan, who was very vigilant, waited for a long time, and did not find any legendary sand monsters, so he seemed to have completely lost his vigilance, and turned around and walked towards the crowd in a very casual posture.

With He Ming's change, the rolling wind and sand suddenly became fierce, and within two to three seconds, a humanoid sand monster with extremely long fangs and claws and a huge body gathered and formed! At this moment, the people on Li Xiang's side all took action.

Ling Qiusheng's speed was the fastest, and he was about to go up to help He Ming when he pulled out the Soul Breaker in his hand, but after all, he was a step too slow, and seeing that the sand monster that appeared silently was about to tear He Ming's back from behind with one claw.

But at some point, He Ming had already moved a few steps to the side, and at the same time, the sword slashed, and one of the claws of the sand monster fell to the ground, and quickly turned into fine sand, while the broken claw of the sand monster regained its shape.

Obviously, these sand monsters, like the most cunning predators they remembered, were able to lurk patiently until their prey revealed a flaw.

But the adventurers who came this time were obviously beyond the imagination of these predators, and the weapon in He Ming's hand cut off the front paw that it attacked without even making the sound of gold and iron intersecting.

Li Xiang shouted: "This is an opportunity, speed up, figure out what kind of monster it is!" ”

Except for Boss Zhao's two subordinates, the rest of the team took out their weapons and pounced on the sand monster, but the sand monster unexpectedly seemed to have no life, after the broken claws were reborn, it was motionless like a statue, and its empty eyes were not moved by the people rushing over.

He Ming watched them rush forward with a cold eye, Ling Qiusheng was extremely fast, easily swept past the side of the sand monster, and raised a cloud of sand and dust with a single sword, while the others came up and beat the sand monster that was still fierce just now into a pile of lifeless yellow sand with a few clicks.

Li Xiang shouted: "This is an ordinary pile of sand!" It's slipping away, over there, chase it! ”

As a top hunter, He Ming knew that this sand monster was comparable to the most cunning predator in the jungle, whether it was attacking or retreating, it would not be so hasty, this time it quietly hid after missing a hit, leaving behind a fake body of sand and gravel attracted people's attention, its real body could not be tracked down so easily.

There is only one possibility! But He Ming didn't interrupt his teammates, because Ye Zilan was about to bring Shabak's soldiers here, and they would also come to find out the true details of these sand monsters first, and through this operation, they would have a fuller understanding of these monsters, and maybe they could help get them.

So he picked up his sword and followed, and Boss Zhao's two subordinates finally reluctantly rode their horses to chase after him.

Li Xiang tracked the sand monster very cautiously, it moved under the sand as nimble as on the ground, and its speed was slightly slower than these people, and after about ten minutes of pursuit, he suddenly shouted: "Ling Qiusheng, down left!" ”

Ling Qiusheng, who had chased the farthest, swiped his left hand, and a sharp dagger flew out with sword qi to his left, and with a bang, there was a strange sound in the sand, and then the sand under his feet rose up from all sides, and the sand monster appeared in front of him again.

Ling Qiusheng rushed forward and slashed it several times, and the speed of the sand monster, each attack was lightly dodged, after scattering its claws, before regathering the flying sand to recover, he snorted, a shining sword qi hit the sand monster's chest, and then the opponent really turned into a puddle of loose sand.

At this time, all the others came to him, and he turned to Li Xiang and said:

"Sand monsters, there is no fixed form, the consciousness is distributed in the sand by unexplained energy, ordinary slashes can hardly cause damage, but casting sword qi attacks can produce great effects, attribute attacks should be very effective."

Li Xiang said: "It's hard work, now that we have figured out the direct situation of the sand monster, we are ready to set off to find the oasis." ”

saw He Ming standing in front of him lukewarmly and said, "Don't worry, you can't go." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him, and Li Xiang asked, "What do you mean by this, you'd better make it clearer!" ”

He Ming said calmly: "As a Taoist priest, you don't understand this kind of can get out, but it also gives you a chance, so that you can track down how terrible its prey is, but you can always feel the unusual aura here, if it escapes, it's not a big problem, now that you kill this bait, it's not so easy to get out of here." ”

Hearing this, Li Xiang felt the nearby life energy, and then his whole face turned green, ignited five spirit runes, summoned a divine beast, and shouted loudly: "Get closer, keep the defensive formation, we are surrounded, and there is an endless stream of sand monsters gathering towards us!" He Ming, what can you do now? ”

He Ming showed a murderous look, smiled slightly, and then thunderbolted in the direction of a pile of wind and sand, and said, "I just want to know, how many sand monsters I can kill!" ”
