Chapter 595: Passing by
"Stop moving forward and rest in place for ten minutes!" Murong Feng ordered. The team behind him immediately dispersed and rested on the spot.
Although the volcanic ash in the sky is extremely choking, it also blocks out the scorching sun, making the desert much cooler than usual during the day, and even a little shady. Very conducive to the march of large troops.
Murong Feng casually found a place to sit down, drinking the nutrient solution to replenish her strength while looking through the animal skin map that Demitian handed her before leaving.
The map showed a sketch of the landform of the crater mountain basin, which was exactly what Murong Feng urgently needed.
After reading the map, Murong Feng finally had a general understanding of this basin oasis sandwiched between two large deserts.
According to the map, the basin covers an area of about 130,000 square kilometers, which is half the size of the Jinghu Basin. The terrain is very regular and circular, and if you look down from space, it looks like a huge crater.
In the center of the basin is a towering active volcano called Mt. Hoba.
The basin is surrounded by high mountains, separated from the east and west deserts of the wind and sand invasion, the unique conditions in the ground also make the humid and hot air from the south ocean to the north all converge here, resulting in the whole basin has a very sufficient precipitation all year round, so that the basin water network is dense with grass and trees, giving birth to a large number of prehistoric beasts.
Murong Feng closed the map, and he already had a preliminary plan in his heart.
The explosion of Fire Feather Mountain was undoubtedly a great natural disaster, making it impossible for the prehistoric giant beasts that originally inhabited the basin to survive, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Murong Feng. If you can take advantage of this gap to successfully build a sub-base in this basin, you will undoubtedly be able to get Fengqilou out of the dilemma of sending people under the fence.
The first thought that came to Murong Feng's mind was to put the Golden City here to build, but it was immediately denied again. Not to mention that the next door is a great desert where an ancient evil god is buried. The unstable active volcano alone threatens to undo her plans. Not to mention the prehistoric behemoths that have survived in this basin. And the prehistoric monster that can survive such a natural disaster is the existence that is easy to provoke?
And more importantly, now all forces have set their sights on the Golden City plan. There are a few forces who want to come and get a piece of the pie, and if the Golden City is built here, it will only expose this virgin land that has not yet been discovered in advance. Murong Feng would not make such a stupid decision to lure the wolf into the house, because she already regarded this vast basin as her own bag.
"It seems that we can only build a secret underground base on the basis of the magic tower." Murong Feng pondered in his heart that he would classify this secret base as a resource gathering base and a secret industrial base.
"My lord, it's time to rest." A troll walked up to Murong Feng, who was pondering, and reminded him.
Murong Feng glanced up, saw that it was his nominal adjutant, got up and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Villain Jadak." The troll said respectfully.
Murong Feng nodded to note his name, and then ordered, "Assemble." Let's go! Try to get around the Gobi Desert before it gets dark! ”
The ghost roaring Gobi area in Murong Feng's mouth is the Gobi Desert where the Earth Dragon Beast haunts, whether it is the Twilight Cult or the Zerg, it is regarded as a death zone, and no creature will get tired of it and run there to die. If it was just Murong Feng alone, she could fly over directly. Now that there are so many people around him, he can only choose to take a detour.
There are only two ways to detour, one is to take a shortcut to the north and climb over a cliff. The second is to go south into the desert and detour east and then north, but on the way you will pass by a worm nest. If there is a choice, Murong Feng is very reluctant to choose the second path. Because she didn't dare bet that the crypt lord would be in the same good mood as last night. So Murong Feng chose to go north and take the mountain road.
"My lord, why did you choose to take the mountain road to the north?" Jadak walked a few quick steps to Murong Feng's side, and said worriedly: "Although you can save most of the distance by going north on the mountain road, that mountain road is very difficult and difficult to walk, and if you are not careful, you will stumble and fall into the deep stream, and there are no bones left. ”
Murong Feng replied, "But there is a possibility that you will encounter an Abyss Crypt Lord when you go south. Are you going to continue the detour south? ”
Jadak immediately stopped talking, and retreated to stabilize everyone's morale. It's clear that between the two options of a difficult road and a Crypt Lord. Everyone was unanimous in their choice of the former.
Opinions were unified, and the pace of the procession increased again. Soon we arrived at the starting point of the mountain road to the north.
Looking at the narrow mountain road winding up, Murong Feng took out the map and checked the location, then gave the order: "Jadak! ”
"The subordinates are here!" Jadak stepped forward to answer.
"Send two skilled scouts to explore the way first." Murong Feng ordered.
"Yes!" Jadak immediately turned and called out two scouts to clear the way. Then the large army followed Murong Feng and climbed the steep mountain road step by step.
The rugged mountain road was beyond Murong Feng's imagination, especially the dust in the sky obscured the vision, making the team extremely difficult. Fortunately, the people assigned to her by Demition were all first-class players, so when the team climbed the first pass, they did not fall behind.
At this time, the scout who had gone ahead returned and reported loudly: "My lord, there is the Tempest Pass ahead!" ”
In fact, without the need for these two people to report, Murong Feng had already heard the whirring wind coming from ahead.
Jadak stepped forward at this time and introduced: "My lord, this outlet is perennially windy, and we must connect everyone with ropes if we want to pass it. ”
Murong Feng nodded and told him to do it.
Soon everyone had a rope wrapped around their waists, and then formed a long line and slowly walked towards the mountain pass.
Murong Feng walked in the second, and Jadak, who was familiar with the road conditions, walked in the first. As soon as she entered the mountain pass, Murong Feng immediately felt a strong wind blowing towards her, almost slapping her along.
"It's so windy!!" Murong Feng was secretly frightened in his heart, propped up his body protection qi to separate the strong wind, and looked up at this canyon outlet. I saw a half-step-wide winding mountain road carved into the cliff on one side, and beside me was an abyss. Due to the influence of the canyon's topography, the ordinary air flow gradually accelerates in the canyon to form terrifying winds. The marching crowd only dared to cling to the cold and smooth cliff wall. Then he chiseled on the cliff wall with both hands, and slowly moved forward with the help of the hole.
"Ah!!h
Murong Feng suddenly heard an exclamation from behind him. Immediately, I felt the rope around my waist tighten, and there was a pulling force!
Then I heard someone shouting from behind, "Ah! Not good! Someone stumbled! Hold on to the cliffs! ”
Murong Feng hurriedly clasped the hole in the cliff wall with one hand. When I turned around and looked back, I saw a person hanging upside down in the air on his head and feet, and if it weren't for the ropes, I am afraid he would have fallen into the abyss.
"Don't move!" Murong Feng shouted, then reached out and grabbed the rope and dragged the man up.
"Thank you for saving your life." This person was also frightened, his face was pale, and his legs were still trembling.
"Don't stop! Keep going! Jadak then turned around and shouted, "Beware of turbulence and falling rocks!" ”
As he spoke, he listened to the sound of the whirl. Murong Feng caught a glimpse of a black shadow passing by his side. When I looked back, I saw a fist-sized piece of gravel swept by the wind!
"At such a fast speed, if you smash someone, you will definitely end up dead or maimed!" Murong Feng changed color slightly, and hurriedly increased the output of the spiritual energy to consolidate the protective qi on his body!
The Fengkou Mountain Road, which is less than 100 meters long, feels as if it has been moving for a century before coming to an end.
After the roll call, the three people at the back of the line disappeared......
"Luckily, only three people were missing to get through here." Jadak breathed a sigh of relief: "The next road is much easier, just pay attention to your step." ”
The rest of the mountain trail was indeed better than the previous one, as Jadak said. Although the three-step wide mountain road is still rugged, at least you don't have to worry about falling into the abyss with a wrong step.
Seeing that Jia Dak was so familiar with this mountain road, Murong Feng asked curiously, "Have you often walked this mountain road?" ”
Jadak shook his head and said, "Actually, I've only walked this mountain road once. It's just because it's too hard. So the memory is more profound. Later, the Cult of God reached an alliance with the Zerg, and we will not take this dangerous mountain road. At this point, Jadak looked at the terrain in front of him. The mood relaxed: "My lord, you can overlook the Ghost Howling Gobi by turning a corner in front." If you're lucky, you might even see the Earth Dragon Beast basking in the sun. But light when the big guys walk, so as not to alarm the big guys! ”
When everyone heard this, they all unconsciously lightened their steps.
Murong Feng turned a corner along the mountain road, only to feel that his eyes suddenly brightened. Being on a trail at the top of a mountain more than 100 meters high and overlooking the vast desert is truly spectacular. It's a pity that the fog has become a bit louder these days, so the entire vast desert looks hazy.
Jadak stepped on his feet and looked down the mountain a few times with great interest, shook his head and said helplessly: "Those earth dragon beasts probably can't stand this bad weather, so they can't hide in the ground and come out." The last time I passed through here, I saw four or five earth dragon beasts entrenched together at once. I'm so scared that I can't even breathe! ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the originally tense atmosphere eased a lot.
Murong Feng shook his ears and heard an abnormal movement, and hurriedly warned him: "Shhh Be quiet! ”
"What's wrong, sir?" Jadak asked in a low voice.
Murong Feng listened carefully for a moment, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly ordered: "Retreat!" Everyone, get behind the curve! Hurry up, hurry up! ”
Although everyone was puzzled, out of order, they hurriedly retreated.
Murong Feng fell last, and the last one retreated behind the corner. Then he crawled around the bend and peeked out, and immediately his pupils shrank, and he hurriedly retracted his head.
Everyone was so nervous by her that they didn't dare to take a breath.
"Your Excellency?" Jadak swallowed and asked with a puzzled face.
"Shhhh Don't talk! Listen! Murong Feng made a silent gesture. Then they heard a dull thud like something heavy falling to the ground, followed by a second thump, a third thump, and a fourth thump......
One is clearer than the other, and one is heavier than the other! The nearby cliffs were also shaken, gurgling and falling rubble.
Even if everyone was slow to react this time, they understood what was happening, so they curled up one by one and didn't dare to move.
Murong Feng suddenly reached out and patted Jadak's shoulder, then pointed down.
Constrained by the angle, Jadak half-crouched down and glanced out. Immediately shrank back. Although he was almost not scared at a glance, he was gone!
"See?" Murong Feng pursed his lips and asked quietly.
Jadak's face turned pale and he nodded repeatedly.
The people squatting behind couldn't bear the curiosity in their hearts. They all got up and looked around, and then one counted as one, and they were all frightened back, like little chicks cowering in the corner and not daring to move.
"My lord, what is that?" Jadak asked in a trembling voice.
Murong Feng smiled slightly and replied, "That guy is the prehistoric Demon Tyrannosaurus King, I happened to see it and those bugs when I met this guy last time." The Zerg army all over the mountains was wiped out by its roar and stomping its feet! ”
The crowd listened to it as if it were a book from heaven. They all showed shock!
At this time, I suddenly heard a person open his mouth and asked quietly: "My lord, is the prehistoric Demon Tyrannosaurus King below really as powerful as you say?" Now that it has broken into the territory of the Earth Dragon Beasts, those Earth Dragon Beasts are existences that even the Zerg dare not provoke! Who's going to be more powerful in this fight? ”
Murong Feng was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly his face changed greatly! Suddenly jumped up and leaned out to take a look, then retracted and roared, "Go!" Get out of here now! ”
Everyone was shocked by Murong Feng's surprise, and they were all stunned for a while!
"Hurry up! Come on! Murong Feng couldn't hide it, and shouted anxiously: "That monster can shake thousands of miles with a roar, and the earth will shake the mountains with a stomp!" If we continue to nest here, we will only be buried alive! ”
When everyone looked at the nearby terrain, their faces immediately turned pale, and they all propped up their weak legs and quickly followed Murong Feng.
As soon as everyone turned out of the corner, they immediately held their breath. Just because right under their feet, the giant beast is slowly walking by! Maybe this giant beast can look up and meet them......
It's definitely a lie to say not to be nervous and scared! But now everyone can only pray that this prehistoric giant beast will not look up, and that those earth dragon beasts will not appear! Otherwise the gods fight. It can only be them mortals who will suffer!
But sometimes I don't want to come to anything, I just come to something!
"How-!!"
As a roar like a dragon's roar came from the depths of the earth, everyone's hearts immediately became cold!
"Running !!" Murong Feng turned around and yelled, and ran away! Everyone reacted in the same way, jumping up and running away, completely ignoring the danger of running on the mountain road!
Fortunately, the prehistoric Demon Tyrannosaurus King was attracted by the roar from the ground, and did not look up at the people running on the mountain road, otherwise everyone would definitely not escape!
With a burst of roars, the entire Gobi Desert shook, and then I heard several loud bangs in a row, and the surface exploded, and directly jumped up, and a huge earth dragon beast surrounded the prehistoric demon tyrannosaurus king!
Then I saw an earth dragon beast take the lead in attacking, and opened its mouth to bite the thigh of the prehistoric demon tyrannosaurus king.
The prehistoric Demon Tyrannosaurus King directly flicked his tail and slapped it on the body of this earth dragon beast, directly smashing half of the body of this earth dragon beast to pieces, and died violently on the spot!
"Shhh Only then did the people who were fleeing for their lives realize the horror of this prehistoric beast!
"Don't look back! Watch the soles of your feet! Murong Feng shouted, sped up, and galloped down the mountain. She is afraid of the rise of the prehistoric demon tyrannosaurus king now, and she will have a lot of fun.
Fortunately, these earth dragon beasts were not the opponents of the prehistoric demon tyrannosaurus king at all, and after seeing their companions die tragically under the claws of this prehistoric giant beast one after another, the earth dragon beasts immediately became timid, and then they all retracted into the ground and did not dare to come out.
The prehistoric Demon Tyrannosaurus King snorted disdainfully, and then continued to swagger forward.
On the other side, Murong Feng led everyone to run all the way and rushed directly down the mountain road, and miraculously no one was damaged. It's just that everyone was frightened, and when they saw that they were finally safe, they sat on the ground one by one, panting like cattle for a long time.
"Your Excellency!" Jadak came to Murong Feng's side with an embarrassed face at this time, and reported: "My subordinates saw that the prehistoric Demon Tyrannosaurus King seemed to be heading in the direction of the excavation site after passing through the Gobi Desert!" ”
Murong Feng asked directly, "Do you want to go back and die?" Or do you want to send someone back to die? ”
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and squinted their eyes at Jadak.
Jadak immediately felt like a man's back, and the cold sweat on his face came down in a flash. (To be continued.) )
