Chapter 46: Desert Ruins

The group walked slowly through the yellow sand.

The closer you get to the Death Desert, the greater the wind and sand you encounter, and sometimes there will be terrible sandstorms, even if you are as powerful as Sauron, you may be buried by the sands. It is not only the environment that is changed by energy radiation, but also the abnormal climate of the desert area, although the herders have worked hard for hundreds of years to establish some oases and plant defense lines in the desert area. But in the end, it is still easy to be destroyed by a terrible sandstorm.

Sometimes the windswept sand that rolls up from the desert of death is like a torrential rain, which can directly bury a river.

Of course.

And that's not even the scariest thing.

Even more terrifying is the desert tornado, which is a real disaster, and it can even be said to be a nightmare.

A huge tornado swept through the nearby qiē, and it was difficult for any caravan encountered to survive it, and the giant tornado was created due to the mutation of energy radiation, and in the case of a tornado intensity exceeding level 5, it was possible to create energy chaos in the nearby area. This is known as the 'Dead Demon Zone' and the 'Magical Chaos Zone', where the wizard's spells are very likely to fail, and there is no place to escape in that case. Sauron had seen a giant tornado with a range of more than fifteen kilometers, from the yellow sand below to the clouds in the sky, as if the whole world was about to be swept into it. (Note: Giant tornadoes occur about once every three years.) )

He still remembers the first time he came here with other teams.

That's when they discovered that the terrible natural climate was sometimes more of a headache than powerful monsters.

The pace of the march was slow.

Because they had prepared more than 30 camels and carried a lot of supplies on them, although the real adventurer team was only five people, the amount of logistical supplies needed was quite huge. When Sauron first came to the desert to explore the ruins, the entire team was a little dumbfounded when they reached the place. With no way in, the poor dwarven hoplite was forced to dig for two whole days because of his height, and only then did he open a passage into the ruins, but after encountering a sealed wall, everyone eventually had to go back and prepare more tools.

Later, to explore this kind of underground ruins that are too old, the adventurers pulled out a team of thirty or forty people.

The group marched on like this for three days.

On the way, Sauron also learned a little more about the others, such as the dwarven hoplite is a chatter, and of course he is relatively quiet when he doesn't drink.

The dwarves don't have much resistance to fine wine, and the others drink water along the way, and this guy drinks all the time.

If it weren't for his amazing physique, this guy would probably have drunk it.

The name of the dwarven hoplite was Sauron Tadandin, and he was a very young dwarf, only forty-six years old, with a thick beard and a strong body.

He has the dwarven blood of the Valley of the Holy Helmet, and his body can be slightly petrified, as if he has been blessed with stone skin magic. (The blood of the dwarves of the hills.) )

The name of the Oriental Ronin is Kagezo.

He is an advanced ronin from the eastern seas, where there are many islands, and many of the ronins are advanced pirate professionals. This is a very silent guy, wiping his sword blade along the way. The strength should be quite good, but to Sauron's surprise, this guy is a left-handed sword.

A left-handed ronin swordsman!

As for the other desert warrior, he is one of the more famous local adventurers named Hamad Nord.

A desert warrior with a class level of around 15, an advanced class of warriors, and is as good at fighting with dual weapons as Sauron, with weapons similar to the Persian scimitar.

He also wears a bit like the Persians! (Note: The Desert Samurai is similar to the Northland Warrior, and is a regional advanced class that has received special combat training for the region.) )

As for the Oriental Dancing Girl at the end.

She was supposed to be the only class Sauron didn't know the depths, and could only be sure that her class level was above 16, that she was proficient in illusion abilities, and that she also mastered mirroring.

In the afternoon of the third day.

Sauron and the others finally reached their destination, where there was an iconic structure, which was a ruined obelisk.

I don't know what the specific use is.

But among the underground ruins buried in the desert, many large ruins have such obelisks.

"It's here!"

Sauron looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice, "This is it, let the workers get ready to work." ”

He walked briskly to the bottom of the obelisk, and then began to move in the direction of the sun, Sauron counted about a hundred and fifty meters, and then deviated about fifty meters to the north. Finally, he squatted down, reached out and touched the yellow sand on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Start digging from here, and dig a passage with a diameter of about three meters." ”

There are many dangerous places underneath the ancient ruins, and there is a risk of accidents when digging in the wrong place.

Moreover, the whole city was buried in yellow sand, and when the disaster befell the city, few of the residents of the city survived, and in this case, the possibility of undead creatures appearing in it is extremely high!

Nearly 100 workers began to get busy.

It is not so easy to dig a passage with a diameter of three meters, because this is a desert area, there is sand on top, and there may be quicksand below, and it is very difficult to dig a passage in the sand, which requires cleaning up the vicinity and using a lot of tools. There seem to be a lot of people in the nearly 100 numbers, but the real work is not very fast, relying on them to dig the passage one shovel after another, and they can only take their time little by little.

It was getting dark.

Sauron supervised the workers before getting up and walking around the neighborhood to see if anything out of the ordinary was going on.

"Ahh

At this moment, a terrible scream came from the construction site, and then all the professionals present rushed over.

Sauron also hurried over, and before he could get close, he saw a worker fall to the ground and convulsed, foaming at the mouth, and soon he was no longer breathing, he pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? ”

It was the Oriental Ronin who answered Sauron, with an earthy yellow scorpion stuck in his blade, and said in a condensed voice, "It's a sand scorpion!" Very toxic! ”

Just started work, and one person died.

This was inadvertently a considerable blow to the motivation of the workers, and many of them cowered a little as they worked.

Sauron had no choice but to let the Eastern Ronin supervise by the side, and by the way, deal with the sand scorpions that might appear, this guy was very fast with his sword, and just now he instantly took out his sword and nailed three sand scorpions.

Night falls.

Groups set up tents near the construction site, laborers gathered to sleep, and workers took turns keeping vigil.

It was very windy at night.

Fortunately, it only lasted for a while, and there was silence all around, with occasional slight rustling sounds. Sauron sat by the campfire in thought, occasionally turning his head to look at the hole that had been dug out, for there was more than just a poisonous scorpion underneath. There was the sound of light footsteps behind him, and then he saw the Oriental Maiden sitting in front of him wearing a wide cloak.

"What are you worried about?"

The Oriental Dancing Girl met Sauron's gaze with a pointed expression, "Since you came here, you seem to be a little worried. ”
