Chapter 172: The Wind and Sand Gradually Stop
Ye Zilan rode on the white horse, which was one in a million miles, wearing purple shining equipment, and led this army, which included the elite soldiers of the entire alliance, to walk past Li Xiang's tent and become the focus of all eyes along the way.
He Ming was also staring at the figure from afar, he didn't understand what he was thinking more and more, so he could only say to himself over and over again:
She and her team are very powerful, and they have obtained enough complete information about the sand monsters, they are absolutely invincible in the known desert areas, and she will be fine.
kept chanting this sentence, his mood pretended to be much more relaxed, ignoring the increasingly obvious sadness, and just silently wishing Ye Zilan that he was safe.
However, Ye Zilan's action this time was not smooth sailing as He Ming imagined, not because of the terrible sand monster that made her deal with it, but because she encountered a completely different situation.
As the vanguard of the march into the desert, Shabak selected the most elite soldiers hundreds of meters, and one hundred and fifty guards who were also carefully selected by the three major families of Tucheng, led by Ma Jin, who showed extremely strong willpower during the battle in the stone tomb, and all of them were under the command of Ye Zilan.
Now such a formidable team cannot be regarded as a large army in the Marfa continent, but it is definitely an elite army that most people are afraid of.
This time, they stepped into the sea of the famous Sand Monsters with a majestic and murderous spirit, just to prepare for a battle with the legendary Sand Monsters and open a safe area for the road to the oasis.
However, in fact, the situation they encountered was not at all what the intelligence described, because of the stay of the creatures, the overwhelming sand monsters flocked to them, and an earth-shattering battle occurred.
With their appearance, the sand that seemed to be swimming endlessly from afar, flying and dancing, causing a blur of sand, actually slowly became quiet, and what they stepped on became the calmest sand.
Ye Zilan was a little annoyed, the information was statistically summarized by Li Xiang's people, in fact, if this information was made by He Ming, he would be able to clearly describe that these sand monsters have the best ability and patience, like crocodiles, can not even breathe for hours, and then seize the opportunity to hit with one blow.
And in the face of such a team that is very terrifying in terms of strength and momentum, predators are simply prey, they will not expose themselves at will, and Ye Zilan, the sand monster who is not exposed, has no way to find out.
Unlike ordinary people, she could directly detect invisible eyes staring at her, and the Staff of Soul Lust was well aware of the strange life characteristics in the sand.
But no one can attack indiscriminately, and it is impossible to clean up the entire sandy land, not to mention that the sand land can neither be burned nor attacked with water?
After being annoyed, Ye Zilan suddenly thought of something, and was about to dismount as soon as she pulled the reins, Ma Jin saw this, stepped forward to stop her, and said, "You are the main general, you can't move lightly, let me come!" ”
Without waiting for Ye Zilan to speak, he rode his horse into the middle of the sand, away from the crowd, and waited for the attack of the sand monster in the dusty sea of sand alone, but the sand monster still did not move for a long time.
Could it be that the information is wrong? Ma Jin's heart was crossed, jumped off the horse and pulled the distance from the horse, and then removed the armor and dropped the weapon.
There was still no movement, and even under his feet, the sand, which was originally vague and seemed to be moving endlessly, gradually calmed down, as quiet as the white sand.
At this time, the faces of the entire team were not very good-looking, Ma Jin put back his armor, retrieved his weapon, got on the horse and returned to Ye Zilan's side, and waited silently for Ye Zilan's arrangement.
Ye Zilan suddenly said to them: "You don't need to bother to make your own bait, look over there, scout, keep up!" ”
The formidable magnitude of the elite ranks made the average adventurer and vagabond choose to avoid them far away, and it was clearly a few very down-and-out vagabonds, who may have spent all their savings on supplies and rudimentary equipment for the trip.
Ye Zilan prepared the team to follow, while the scout quietly followed behind the homeless men.
Since Ye Zilan led the team to take the safest route on the map, as soon as they bypassed them, the homeless people walked into the middle of the erratic sand of the sea of sand monsters, and one of them was obviously a very experienced gold digger.
He didn't have long to walk before he noticed the strange luster in the sand, and after reaching out a few times, he turned out a piece of metal the size of a palm, glittering with light, although this thing was not as good as gold and silver, but it was definitely worth a lot.
The attraction of profit blinded the people, and if it were not for the desert, they would not hesitate to kill this companion and take away the wealth. But now is not the time for infighting, so everyone bends down and looks down in search of the treasure they have coveted and sought.
And this is exactly the time that the predators in the desert are waiting for, and when everyone goes to dig through the metal in the sand, two giant sand monsters three meters tall with their mouths open to the maximum attention to swallow a person alive quickly form behind them!
At this moment, a steel arrow of feathered arrows hit the head of one of the sand monsters, and directly entered without a feather, leaving in its head, interfering with its movements, and at the same time a ringing arrow flew into the sky with a scream, sending a signal to the army not far away.
"Ga~hiss!" The sand monsters finally became angry, and instead of hiding and lurking, they gathered a large group of monsters and pounced on those present.
The scout who followed him was also an elite team member, but for the sake of ease of movement, he only brought a small short knife and short bow, and at this moment, the overwhelming sand monsters suddenly appeared, and he could only use a false knife to try his best to escape, not caring about the wanderers.
However, the sand monsters did not intend to let him go, only a few giant sand monsters went to hunt those wanderers, and on the scout's side, there were seven or eight sand monsters of different sizes, like fierce beasts, and evil fishes, chasing and intercepting him.
A knife blocked a blow to the claw in front of him, and he rolled with great agility to dodge the sand beast's pounce, but saw that a sand fish had already predicted his landing point, and was about to pounce on his face.
You can't just die like this, otherwise when the army comes, these sand monsters will dissipate and become invisible, and everyone will die in vain!
"Drink!" Unable to avoid it, he danced his short knife, and burst out with all his strength to attack and kill, the fierce sword qi collided with the sand fish, and with a snap, the head of the sand fish was injured, and he swam away from the side, the sharp giant teeth failed to bite him, and the blade-like fins left a bloody wound on his chest when he swam away.
The scout suddenly burst into blood, and tried his best to roll and escape from the remaining vacant seats, trying to delay as much as possible, but found that a sand lizard suddenly came out of his side.
His strength also began to drain with the bleeding, and he was no longer powerless to resist, so he could only sigh secretly: "That's it." ”
Raise the short knife as much as you can and point it at the hideous sand lizard, just trying to do your best to make your own attitude.
It was also between the lightning and flint, and suddenly the sand lizard was pushed out more than ten meters as if it had been hit by some huge force, and when it was looking over here with grinning teeth, it turned out that Ye Zilan saw that the situation was critical and teleported here, and a ring of resistance fire pushed the sand lizard out.
And the large army not far away heard the signal of the arrow and rushed over at full speed, but it was only slightly unable to keep up with Ye Zilan's horse, at this time Ye Zilan and the scout were surrounded by sand monsters, and the others still needed some time to come over.
The bones of those homeless men were long gone, as if they had never appeared. The entire desert was boiling like a pot exploding, and all the sand monsters went crazy and pounced on the two of them, apparently intending to kill them before the others arrived, and then dissipate.
"Quick, back away, run away as much as you can, I'll hold it off here!." Ye Zilan's Soul Lust Staff opened the magic shield in one fell swoop, and lit a wall of fire in front of her, and the terrifying heat forced the sand monsters to bypass one after another, buying her precious time.
In the face of the approach of several more sand monsters, the Soul Lust Staff's eyes were dazzling, and dozens of fireballs shot out accurately, all of which hit the sand monsters who tried to pounce on it.
For a moment, there was a crackling burning sound in the air, and those sand monsters were actually burned to the ground. Sand is non-combustible, so what's the deal with all this weird burning?
Ye Zilan continued to throw fireballs while retreating in the direction of the large army, and just when the injured scouts were basically unable to move, the majestic warriors arrived in front of them.
One of the accompanying Taoist priests immediately jumped off his horse to perform healing spells on the scout, while two other support staff rushed forward to help the scout to the back of the group.
The elite cavalry followed by the well-equipped infantry, and finally stood in front of the legendary terrible sand monsters, and the sand monsters no longer lurked, but many winds and sand continued to blow and gather in this direction.
This time, I don't know how many sand monsters came to this desert, but in short, the number was many times more than He Ming's encounter in that exploration.
Maybe it was the sheer force that had disturbed more of the Sand Monsters, maybe it was the last battle that prepared them, or maybe the Sand Monster leader in the sand was stronger than the Wind Demon, but that didn't matter anymore.
Ye Zilan waved his hand and said, "Prepare to fight!" They are amorphous, but they all need energy and breath to maintain, the sand is not damaged by various attacks, and the breath with consciousness that maintains their form can be hit by fighting energy or magic! Don't use pure physical attacks, use various attributes to attack!
"The cavalry scattered left and right, the shield-wielding infantry stepped forward, the archers had magic arrows on their hands, the mages struck with all their might, and the Taoist priests chose to cast spells to attack or heal according to the situation, and attacked!"
