Chapter 915: Weeping Blood God Stone
It may be because the weather is too hot, at this time, not to mention the danger, even if the magic skill Eagle Eye is cast, there is not a single living creature on the surface, but even so, these two brothers are still very careful to send personnel to take turns to defend, especially under the sand, they will lie down from time to time to listen to whether there is any movement.

Compared to the foreseeable danger on the ground, in fact, in the desert, the underground threat is also very deadly, whether it is sand scorpions of all sizes and stinging snakes, they will suddenly rush up and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
And in order to deal with these dangers, these sand people in addition to listening, in fact, there is a simpler way, only to see that with the arrangement of the defenders, they took down a few small cages from the camel horses, in which a few desert moles were placed, their sense of smell and hearing are beyond people's imagination, because the weak are surprisingly sensitive to danger, put them on the ground, once there is danger coming, whether it is from the surface or underground, their piercing screams will alert them.
Watching these sand people put these small cages containing desert moles around the team, and there was a shade cloth on top of them, looking at the fun Li Ran and the others couldn't help but smile, Phantom Bingnan and Qian Hui even took some vegetable leaves and small minced meat from the camel and walked over.
After taking a nap and avoiding the scorching sun at noon, Li Ran's team also began to act, and at the same time, in order to rush to the first sentry station in front, the two brothers Zheng Yanbo also urged everyone to speed up their pace.
Maybe because of the proximity to the border city, in the next two days, except for taking turns to sleep offline at night, and seeing some sand wolves and a small number of sand scorpions, they didn't encounter anything really dangerous along the way.
But on the afternoon of the third day, they encountered a sandstorm, fortunately, the camel horse and the desert monitor lizard had already mentioned the premonition, Li Ran and others also prepared in advance under the reminder of Zheng Yanbo and the two brothers, and found a shelter from the wind, after pacifying these camels and horses, there were no major casualties, but even so, there was still a camel horse bitten by the desert giant scorpion that appeared in the sandstorm, if it were not for the presence of the elf druid, to detoxify and heal it in time, I am afraid that this camel horse would have been abandoned.
I don't know if it's because of the exhaustion of luck, they actually encountered another group of sand wolves that night, although this group of sand wolves only has more than a hundred heads, and their strength is only at the middle and high level, but they suddenly attacked at night, which really frightened Li Ran and the others.
And these sand wolves are very smart, the direction they choose to attack is the upwind of the team, there is no smell before the sneak attack, even the mounts of the camel horses and the sand lizard cavalry do not feel it, if it weren't for those desert moles screaming a few times in advance, maybe the result would not be the result of the two camels being killed and dragged away.
Fortunately, everyone reacted in time, and after killing more than a dozen sand wolves, these guys chose to retreat when they saw that the other party was strong, and their pale green eyes drew short traces in the night sky in the distance.
Let a few thinner elves ride a camel horse together, and everyone started to travel far again in the morning, but they didn't go far, and his younger brother Zheng Yanbo looked at a dark cloud in the distance, and after a while, he suddenly screamed a sand locust!
Hearing his scream, even the always bold sand lizard knight hurriedly jumped off his mount, pulled off the huge pieces of leather from the camel's back, wrapped himself and his mount, and then kept throwing sand on it, waiting until he was almost himself and ran in.
Because they had already received the treatment method from the two brothers Zheng Yanbo before, Li Ran and the others also hurriedly dismounted at this time, and according to the method of the sand lizard knight, they first covered the sand camels lying on the ground under the order of the sand camel hand, and then they also concocted and buried themselves with sand.
After a few minutes, they heard the roar of an airplane above them, and it was not until another ten minutes later, when they felt that they could not hear such a sound, and then everyone dared to poke their heads out quietly and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although I don't know how many sand locusts there are in this swarm, just listening to the sound of them flying overhead, it took nearly ten minutes, and all the teammates, including Li Ran, were shocked into a cold sweat, especially when they saw some sand locusts that fell and couldn't fly on the way, they were even more startled.
These creatures are somewhat similar to the shape of locusts in reality, and their small size is the size of a cutting board for chopping vegetables, but the largest of them is the size of a tabletop, and their strength has reached the level of a high-level class.
Although after the introduction of those sand people, those like this who have the strength to reach the high level are all sand locusts that have been through more than ten years, and they are not common in the sand locust swarm, and most of the ordinary sand locusts are only at the middle and low level, but just thinking about that scale is terrifying.
Fortunately, all these guys did was instinctively looking for food, and they would not maliciously attack the city, otherwise these sand locusts alone would have made this desert a barren land.
And the advantage they brought was that in the following days, except for the corpses of creatures they saw along the way, including a group of nearly a thousand sand wolves, Li Ran and the others never encountered dangerous creatures again, making them travel a lot faster.
That afternoon, they finally arrived at an oasis town, built on the hills, with a small lake, surrounded by greenery, and even the climate was not as hot as outside, and it was hard to imagine such a place in the desert.
What surprised Li Ran and the others even more was that there were thousands of cactus trees that were more than ten meters tall and looked very terrifying around this town, like a natural barrier surrounding this small town in the desert.
They are terrifying, mainly because of their shape, although they have the same name as the real cactus, but in fact they are a giant tree, with a thick root system, except for some branches, covered with countless long or short spikes, and some of the taller cactus trees, even stranger to grow a human-like face.
At the same time, on their trunks, there are more or less hanging corpses of various creatures, I don't know whether they are scorched by the wind and sand, or these cactus trees, these creatures are only a skin bag left at this time, and it is very scary to flutter with the breeze.
Fortunately, through the introduction of Zheng Yanbo and the accompanying Shamin, they knew that these strange trees would not attack the people who came in at will, so Li Ran and the others also cautiously followed behind after seeing these people walking through these strange trees without care.
For the desert, where there is water, there are creatures, and where there are creatures, there is fighting, I saw this oasis town from a distance before, it felt so beautiful and mysterious, but as soon as I came over, I was startled by these terrifying cactus trees, and then when they came in, they were greeted by a strong smell of blood and noise.
Looking at it, I saw a group of people in the distance, and saw a few Sand warriors wielding their war knives and maces, chasing a half-orc, and that half-orc may have been a warrior before, and he was covered in blood at the moment, after being pierced through the thigh by the Sand Warrior's arrow, although his face was full of horror, he still raised his knife and danced wildly while sitting on the ground, trying to win a glimmer of life, and at the same time tightly grasping a cloth bag with his left hand.
"Little Zack, hand over the things, for the sake of the previous cooperation, I will let you live today" Seeing that the half-orc was shot in the calf and fell to the ground, the few Sand warriors couldn't help but sneer and surrounded him.
It seemed that they had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and at this time, the people around not only did not step forward to dissuade them, but instead shouted with excitement after seeing the orc being shot to the ground.
At this time, the young orc probably knew that he would not be able to escape today, and shouted at the leader of the sand warriors who had just spoken: "Hu Si'an, you shameless and forgetful bastard, for the sake of a weeping blood diamond, you actually poisoned us, and in vain our regiment leader still regarded you as a friend, and you will one day be hung on the thorn tree."
Knowing that what he said about hanging on the thorn tree was referring to the corpses on the cactus trees outside the town just now, it was rumored that if he was killed by these cactus trees and hung on them for ten days, his soul would be imprisoned on this tree and never return to the arms of the god of faith, which was another reason why many sand people and desert natives did not dare to mess with these cactus trees, so what this half-orc said was also a curse.
So after hearing the words of this Zack's half-orc, the leader of the sandfolk warriors on the opposite side also had a cold look in his eyes, and took the weapon of the archer next to him, aiming at this half-orc is an arrow, probably because the archery skills are not very good, he wanted to shoot an arrow in the throat, but he shot the half-orc in the left shoulder, which made him feel pain, and the cloth bag in his hand fell, and a diamond the size of an egg slipped out of it.
Seeing this huge diamond, there were faint lines of blood lingering on it, and everyone who found out that this was a superb bloodstone couldn't help but take a deep breath, and their eyes showed a greedy gaze, if it weren't for the fear of this powerful mercenary group, I am afraid that they would have stepped forward to snatch it a long time ago.
Such a huge, the color is definitely the best Weeping Bloodstone, no wonder this Husian will be poisoned, at this time the onlookers can't help but understand the reason for the matter, there is that bold and even impulsive to snatch it, as long as you grab this Weeping Bloodstone, rush out of the town to escape the pursuit of this mercenary group, you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
may have also seen the movements of the people around them, even the two Hu Yanbo brothers who saw all this couldn't help but reach out and hold the weapon, you must know that after this bloodstone is shot, they will definitely earn more in this entrusted mission, plus they believe that as long as they grab it, there is definitely more than fifty percent chance of escaping, so they are also a little excited.
