Chapter 522: Nie Xiaoyang's Good Luck
"How's it going, have they noticed this?" Xiao Yang asked nervously. The boy was pressing hard against the wet sand in front of him, as if he could squeeze more water out of it with just a little force.
"Don't rush anymore! I'll be distracted - you just asked me a minute ago! Jia Xiao put down the goggles in his hand and yelled in the direction of his companion. It's just that the boy's mouth is exaggerated, but the voice he makes is extremely soft, "Fill your water well!" ”
"You don't need ......a mouth to fetch water," the hunter muttered, shook the kettle in his hand, and took another sip before reluctantly filling the kettle again, "Yours! ”
Jia Xiao didn't look back, untied the hanging pot on his waist with one hand and threw it to Xiao Yang: "Move quickly, those guys are clever and won't be led away for too long." ”
"I know, I know!" Xiao Yang pressed the mouth of the bottle into the puddle, and a series of bubbles bubbled up in the small puddle, and the little water that had accumulated quickly bottomed out. Seeing this, the boy hurriedly pressed the sand hard, but the expected water did not seep out from the bottom of the pit.
"Hell ......"
"What's wrong?"
"There's no water!" The young man said urgently, "I have to wait for the next stream of groundwater, I don't know how long it will take!" ”
"How many have you loaded?" Jia Xiao didn't look back, and in the line of sight of the clairvoyant, the figure of the monster flying quickly had already appeared between the gaps in the sand dunes. The hunter listened intently, and the monsters had not yet sounded the alarm of encountering the enemy, only the sound of the sharp feet kicking on the ground, leaving them plenty of time.
"It's a small half pot, it's only a little bit, it's not enough for us to last until tomorrow!" Xiao Yang no longer controlled his voice, and snorted with his one-handed sword to cut the sand pit down by more than a foot, and waited for a few seconds before he saw the newly poured water slurry at the bottom of the pit.
"I can only save it......" Jia Xiao turned around, but saw that it had been dug into a wet sand pit three times deep, "Hey! What are you doing? We'll be found by monsters! ”
"I can't care so much." Xiao Yang ignored the wet sand on his arms, introduced all the newly gushing water into the mouth of the bottle, and hurriedly screwed the cap of the bottle, "Who told you to come to get water under the big sun?" With such a dry sun, there is more water wasted by evaporation than it is packed! ”
The pain caused by the "root nature" lasted all night before it was barely reduced to the point where it did not affect movement. The hematoma on Xiao Yang's body has not disappeared yet, and his hands and feet are fatter than usual, but the current situation no longer allows them to recuperate in place. The two teenagers tried to send a rescue signal a few times, but instead of calling an airship or the nearest hunter, they attracted a few lone beast dragon species, and the one-star hunters fled in a hurry, running out of hunting props before barely escaping the pursuit.
Seeing that supplies were getting scarcer and the surrounding environment was getting worse and worse, the two teenagers had to find a direction and run through the sea of sand for the most basic water and food.
Relying on Jia Xiao's clairvoyance, the hunters tracked a group of Huang Sulong for more than ten kilometers before they found this water source. The environment in this area is intertwined with bare rocks and sand dunes, and before the Fengshan Dragon took control of the wind and sand of the entire hunting ground, it seemed to be a strong wind area that was rarely visited by life. The large predators raced to flee in the opposite direction of the dragon ring, and it didn't take much effort for the Yellow Dragons to take control of a large area around them.
Transpiration is at its highest in the middle of the desert, and the water you drink will quickly turn into sweat and evaporate, and no monster will choose to waste precious water resources at this time. It is not that Jia Xiao intends to attack at noon when the sun is most poisonous to steal the water source, but only at this time will the monsters' vigilance against the water source be minimized, and it will be easier for the hunters to divert the tiger from the mountain.
"Alright, don't talk so much, bury the sand pit - if the Huang Sulong finds out, we won't be able to get water here in the future." Jia Xiao held his clairvoyance to look at the edge of the surrounding cascading sand dunes as he stepped back towards Xiao Yang's side.
"It's a big deal to change the water source, the desert is so big, we can't afford to fight this group of sharp-billed dragons to the end." The teenager said disdainfully.
"We died of thirst before then!" Jia Xiao glanced at him, and pulled back his kettle, "I think you're confused." ”
"My luck has never been bad in the hunting grounds," the boy said indistinctly, grabbing a handful of wet sand in his mouth, "I have a hunch that the distance between us and Locklac will not exceed fifty kilometers now. ”
"Without precise directions, a distance of five kilometers can kill you and me." Jia Xiao's eyes were still staring at the other end of the mirror, "Damn, I just seemed to see a monster, but the blink of an eye is gone." ”
"I'm afraid that group of guys are still in a daze at a stone dummy," hurriedly shoveling the last foot of sand into the pit, Xiao Yang dried the sand in his mouth, spit on the sand pit, and said hatefully: "Eat my saliva...... This way! ”
The two teenagers didn't hesitate any longer and ran in the opposite direction to guide Huang Sulong. Under the staggered stones and sand dunes, the escape route was winding, Jia Xiao put away his goggles, his eyes still vigilantly looking around the terrain.
Before he could take two steps, the big sword boy's footsteps stopped. Behind a two-person high stone mound, a small shadow was swaying slightly. Under the noon sun, the shadow under everyone's feet is only a small piece, and only when you get close can you notice the abnormality of the shadow.
"Outflanking ......" Jia Xiao only had time to flash a word in his thoughts, and then shouted a warning, "Hide!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, a brown figure flashed out from behind the stone mound in front of the boys. The monster howled, its slender legs turned into two afterimages, and it rushed in front of the hunters in three or two steps.
The "......" attack came suddenly, and the one-star hunter didn't have time to pull out the weapon behind his back, so he could only dodge to the sides left and right. Huang Sulong's teeth bit between the two teenagers, but he only swallowed a mouthful of air, and the monster's claws cushioned a few steps on the sand before stopping, and with a flick of his tail, he raised the sand ash all over the ground, and adjusted his direction to face the prey again.
"How did you get the wind?" Xiao Yang bounced up, "When did the monster come back?" ”
"They didn't go far from the start!" Jia Xiao also stood up. The monsters attach far more importance to water than the hunters imagine, and they are afraid that they will play a trick, and only after the two water thieves are satisfied with the drink, Shi Shiran closed the encirclement. In the young man's sight, behind the sand dunes and rocks in front of him, brown-yellow beast heads bubbled out. Huang Sulong's head is longer and narrower than that of the dog dragon, with two fin-like crowns at the heel of the nose extending to the back of the head, and the whiskers hanging under the tip of the nose swaying in the wind, like an old man with hideous eyebrows and eyes.
More than a dozen hideous heads blocked the hunters' predetermined path, and with the predatory strategy of the herd beasts, the teenagers knew without looking at it that more monsters were closing behind them: "Hey! We just need to drink some water, is it necessary to do this? Nie Xiaoyang said dejectedly.
"Give up, you're not dusty, they don't understand." Jia Xiao pulled out his big sword and stood back to back with Xiao Yang, "How about it, can you fight?" ”
"I don't have a second shield to save us both......" the tall hunter grinned helplessly. Huang Sulong's claws possess a powerful paralyzing potion, and it is said that when the prey's muscles are weak and unable to resist, his consciousness is still completely awake. The venom glands of monsters are extremely popular material in the sea of sand, but in the current situation, the two children are neither in the mood nor able to collect them, "I don't want to be eaten alive!" ”
"Up!" Jia Xiao didn't wait for his companions to distinguish between them, and decisively raised his sword and rushed towards the herd of beasts. Nie Xiaoyang gritted his teeth fiercely, and also brandished his only remaining short sword to follow his footsteps and kill.
There were fifteen of the surrounding Huang Sulong, and the monsters didn't expect that under such a huge difference in strength, the two hunters still had the courage to take the initiative. The Huang Sulong raised their heads one after another, and also rushed in the direction of the hunter.
"Flash!" Jia Xiao warned, and the two orange-yellow prop balls were thrown straight out under the cover of the heavy sword. The hunter moved his elbow away from his eyes, and there was an instant wail from the herd on the other side.
"Run!" Taking advantage of the slight commotion, Jia Xiao put away his big sword, pulled Xiao Yang's arm and twisted to change direction, and broke through towards the flank.
"I thought you were going to fight." Xiao Yang bared his teeth, "I still have such props, why didn't I use them earlier?" ”
It is extremely stupid to start a meaningless battle in the desert, and to choose to start the battle at noon is even more stupid among fools. Even with the current strength of the two hunters, even twenty Yellow Speed Dragons could win, but the physical strength and energy consumed were enough for them to completely lose their ability to protect themselves in the next few years.
"The last two." Jia Xiao lowered his head and galloped, taking advantage of the time to ventilate, and explained, "I can't buy much time." ”
Under the bright sun, the effectiveness of the flashbang was greatly reduced, and although the boy's charge attracted the attention of most monsters, this level of dazzle still could not last long.
"Hell ......!" While running, Nie Xiaoyang felt an indescribable strangeness on his body. As soon as the boy touched his waist, the kettle shook loudly.
"What's wrong again?"
"The pot is broken!" The boy grabbed the kettle and shook it vigorously, and the remaining droplets of water swayed out from the triangular crack, and raised his companion's face, "Damn, it must have been when I was dodging just now......
"That's what you call good luck." Jia Xiao shrugged his eyebrows, "Remind me that from now on, I will never go hunting alone with you again." ”
"Let's take care of the present......" Xiao Yang's afterglow glanced back, the sand and dust behind him were flying less than twenty meters, and according to the speed at which the beasts were approaching, there was only less than a minute left for the one-star hunters.
"Run faster!"
"I've got a big sword on my back!"
"My knees are still swollen!" Xiao Yang's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he yelled hysterically at Jia Xiao.
"I can't escape the ......" In the afterglow, Jia Xiao saw Huang Sulong, who was already on par with the teenagers. The human body is no match for these beasts that live by running, in any case.
The leading Huang Sulong crossed the path of the hunters, and his tail flicked a beautiful arc, blocking the way of the two. The two teenagers were forced to stop and were killed on top of a sand dune by the monsters that followed.
"So far, I have to fight." Jia Xiao pulled out his sword again.
The monsters didn't even give the one-star hunter time to think, and the eager Huang Sulong roared, rushed into the battle circle, and pounced towards Xiao Yang.
The boy subconsciously blocked with his left arm, only to find that he no longer had the round shield handmade by the dragon man in his hand. In an instant, the hunter could not change his tricks, and the two rows of sharp teeth quickly dilated in front of him, and the young man's pupils shrank, and he was firmly bitten on his arm.
"Ah——!h The light armor pierced in an instant, and the monster's teeth bit into its already swollen arm, like a thin needle piercing a balloon. The sharpness of his teeth had even touched his own bones, and the sound of grinding resounded in his ears along the bones. Nie Xiaoyang only felt that his head exploded, and the young man's forehead was bruised, he raised his hand to lift the monster, endured the severe pain and peeked into the monster's throat, and the one-handed sword "slashed" through the yellow-green scale armor of Huang Sulong.
Huang Sulong, who came to provoke, was killed within a round, and the beasts not only did not panic, but surrounded the formation more closely. Behind the group of small bird dragon species, two Huang Sulong with extremely large bodies also followed.

"Ahaha!" "I knew it! My luck in the hunting ground won't be too bad! ”
