Chapter 934: Night Plough City
Everyone sat on the back of an ancient sand scorpion and walked quickly through the underground ancient river, feeling like they were sitting in an open-top subway. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The ancient river channel is spacious and straight. After Murong Feng inquired about Rekton, he learned that many places in this ancient river channel were actually transformed by Nasus's army at the beginning, and it was specially used to send the army to encircle and suppress those alien races. After all, marching an army underground and marching in the desert against the scorching sun are two different concepts.
Along the way, Murong Feng saw many artificially dug Tibetan caves, but with the sudden collapse of the Shurima Empire, this underground passage has also been forgotten for hundreds of years.
Suddenly, the ancient sand scorpion moving at high speed suddenly slowed down and stopped, almost throwing the people on its back away.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Got to the place? Onexia rubbed her ass and got up.
Renekton pushed Yasuo, who was pressing on him, away, then got up in embarrassment and looked up, "The passage ahead seems to have collapsed." ”
"It's been hundreds of years, and it's not strange that there is a collapse, can you take a detour?" Murong Feng asked while holding Lilith.
"Yes, yes, but it's a long detour." Renekton pulled Kiasso and said, "But with General Black Iron here, we don't have to take a detour." It's a good digger, and it's basically dug out of this passage. ”
After communicating with the ancient sand scorpion, Renekton turned around and asked everyone to get down from the scorpion's back and stand in the distance, and then saw the ancient sand scorpion waving a pair of large pincers to the collapse of the place for a while, and for a while, all kinds of broken rock and sand and stones were splashed all over the sky, and a tunnel that was quickly cleared out for everyone to pass through.
However, the length of the collapse of the passage exceeded everyone's expectations, and everyone had to follow the ancient sand scorpion all the way to stop and stop.
"At the current pace, we should be able to get to Nightplow City before dark." Renekton claws the ground drawing a simple map of the desert.
According to Renekton, the city was once the northernmost city of the Shurima Empire, and to the east of the city there was a large lake covering an area of nearly fifty hectares, called the Blackwater Oasis. This is also a necessary condition for the construction of a desert city - water.
It's just that this blackwater lake is bitter water and cannot be drunk directly. It needs to be purified before it can be drunk, but it can be used to irrigate a crop called a sand potato. Therefore, this night plough city was also a large granary of the Shurima Empire.
However, the former oasis is still the same as the vicissitudes of the sea, but the desert city is now in ruins, and there is an alien army of tens of thousands of horses stationed here.
This is still the information transmitted by Murong Feng's miniature scout, which flew outside and moved forward synchronously with her, acting as a satellite radar.
Otherwise, the people who don't know anything might bury their heads under the noses of the alien army, and it will be very embarrassing!
"It's the Bone Tribe." Renekton stared at the white wolf in the middle of the camp, and recognized the origin of this legion at a glance.
"Looks like the mirage we saw earlier is here. Is it possible to get around? "Murong Feng didn't want to fight with a group of natives for some reason, so he avoided it if he could.
Renekton shook his head and said, "Nightplow City is a transit point for the underground passage, and if you want to go to Shurima, you must pass through Nightplow City. ”
"Then take advantage of the night to sneak over, there are few of us anyway." Yasuo suggested.
"But General Black Iron is too big." Renekton sighed: "And the most famous thing about the Bone Force Tribe is their wolf cavalry, those sitting wolves can smell the smell of more than ten kilometers away. We're afraid we'll be spotted as soon as we show up. ”
Murong Feng remotely controlled the miniature scout and flew up to overlook the entire alien army barracks, and found that this barracks was not stationed in the ruins of the ruined ancient city, but on the edge of the Heishui Lake.
"Can we dive through the lake?" Murong Feng asked.
Renekton immediately shook his head and said, "The reason why Blackwater Lake has to be purified before it can be drunk is because it is a salt lake, and it is salty to bitter kind. Even if you throw a rock, you can float. But that's not the point, the point is that Blackwater Lake will become a dead place at night, and whoever gets close will die! Therefore, although the night plough city is on the shore of the black water lake, it also has to be built half a mile away. ”
Onexia said impatiently: "If you want me to say what Fei Na is doing, let this princess breathe a dragon's ......"
Murong Feng suddenly covered the girl's mouth, made a silent gesture to everyone, and then pointed to the depths of the tunnel.
The crowd immediately pricked up their ears to listen, and they heard the sound of digging and tapping from the depths of the tunnel.
"It's those aliens, they're digging tunnels too!" Renekton immediately said with an ugly face.
"It seems that this underground passage is no longer a secret." Murong Feng said in a deep voice, but she didn't bother to care about this matter at all, anyway, these natives had nothing to do with her fighting or dying.
Renekton struggled for a moment and let go of his mentality, after all, the Shurima Empire he was loyal to had long since been annihilated in the long river of history.
"Boss, what do you say? I listen to you. Renekton gritted his teeth.
Murong Feng thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Kill it!" ”
Everyone was surprised, but they didn't expect Murong Feng to make the decision to face an army of tens of thousands of horses.
And Onexia was undoubtedly the most excited, and she was about to rush out with a cheer.
Murong Feng hurriedly grabbed this girl, and said with a smile: "I didn't say that I would kill her, but I rushed out and sent her to death, you listen to me first." ”
Murong Feng turned to Renekton and asked, "Renekton, you first introduce this bone power tribe and what needs to be noted. For example, is there a spellcaster in the opposing legion? Then we'll get ready and wait until it's dark before we get out. Remember, our goal is to break through and escape, and don't fall in love. ”
Everyone nodded, and Renekton immediately began to introduce this bone power alien tribe.
"This tribe is the best at tracking because they have a legion of wolf riders. In addition, looking at the number of this legion, the witch doctors and shamans accompanying the army are probably not less. But the most important thing we need to watch out for is the Dark Witch. Renekton asked Murong Feng for a map of the Valoran Continent, and then pointed to the plague jungle in the south of the Shurima Desert, and said: "This plague jungle is the lair of the Dark Witch Clan, and these guys are the best at all kinds of curse spells and spreading plagues. They are also the most fanatical of the war, because their magical experiments cannot be separated from all kinds of corpses. Nasus and I came close to exterminating the aliens several times, only to be ruined by these goddamn bastards. ”
"Do these Dark Witches have any characteristics?" Lilith asked.
Renekton thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Those guys never fight people head-on, and they like to hide in dark corners and curse their enemies the most. ”
"It's easy." Lilith said lightly, "Wait a minute, I'll bless each of you with a curse reflection spell." When the time comes, those dark witches will not make a move, and if they dare to make a secret move, they will wait to see a good show. ”
Renekton frowned and said, "Curse spells are still secondary, and the most difficult thing for those dark witches is the various plague viruses. Once you get hit, it's more dangerous than being cursed. ”
"There is still an alien army of tens of thousands stationed here, and those black witches dare to release the plague virus indiscriminately, aren't they afraid of accidentally injuring friendly troops?" Onexia was surprised.
Renekton pouted, "In the eyes of those bastards, there are no allies at all, they are just vultures in the wilderness, and where there are corpses, they will come out." So whether it's alien or we, in their eyes, it's just a fresh experimental material. ”
"Actually, I think your worries are unnecessary." Murong Feng snorted and said, "With this Pope here, do you still need to worry about any plague virus?" ”
Onexia immediately clapped her hands and laughed, "Haha, I almost forgot that Sister Moon Shadow's Holy Light Spell specializes in all kinds of obscene tricks. ”
"But I just thought of a perfect breakout strategy." The corners of Murong Feng's mouth hooked a smile, but it made several people present shudder.
***
When night falls, the steamer-like desert turns into a large ice cellar in an instant.
The grass around the lake was covered with hoarfrost, but the water was still clear and clear with high salinity, but no one dared to approach the lake at night.
Because the frosty grass will become very slippery, once a person stumbles and slides into the lake, he will be frozen into a large ice lump in just a few tens of breaths, and he cannot be saved. The body could only be fished ashore until dawn.
That's why Blackwater Lake turns into a dead place at night!
At this moment, piles of bonfires were lit in the camp of the Guli tribe less than 100 meters away from the lake, and pieces of charcoal black bacon were sliced into the pot of soup, and after a while, the pot of soup would emit an attractive aroma. In addition, there is also the sand potato buried in the coal, this potato tuber because it grows in the desert environment, so the root system is very deep, and the skin is extremely tough, even the sharp mouth of the bone alien race can not easily bite it open, can only be thrown into the charcoal fire to roast, and then dig out and put on the stone slab to smash the carbonized skin with an iron hammer, in order to eat the slightly salty and bitter tuber.
It is difficult for those who taste this potato tuber for the first time, but for the alien races who have lived in this desert for generations, the sand potato is a delicacy given to them by God. A fist-sized piece of sand potato in their stomachs will keep them from eating for two or three days, because it is too full.
A few bone aliens gathered around the fire and were enjoying a bite of sand potato and a mouthful of broth, when suddenly a few wolves lying on the side gnawing bones stood up, staring straight outside the dark camp with a pair of green wolf eyes, and at the same time kept shaking the tip of their noses, and their mouths showed their fangs and let out a low whimper.
"There is a situation! Amo went to take a look. The wolf commander commanded by naming a camel rider.
The smallest combat unit of the Bone Tribal Legion is called the Seat Railing, with six wolf cavalry and six camel cavalry in a column, with a total of twelve people. and with three columns as a team, the captain is called the wolf gang leader.
When the Bone Tribe fights, the wolf cavalry charges forward with a scimitar, and the camel rider draws his bow to provide fire cover. The division of labor is clear, and it has extremely strong combat effectiveness in confrontation with the enemy.
The named camel rider swallowed the hot potato in a few reluctant bites, then got up, bent his back, turned over and jumped on his sand camel beast to pace outside the camp.
The big camp of the Guli tribe is said to be a camp, but in fact, there is no fence at all. This is also due to the environment, after all, there is no way to hide the endless sea of sand, if a large number of enemy troops attack, it will definitely bring up billowing sand and dust, as long as you are not blind more than ten miles away, you can see it, so there is no need to set up any fence to camp in the desert. Of course, there is a more important reason, that is, in the desert, there are no tall trees except sand, what do you use as fences? Sand and weeds?
The camel rider walked around the camp on the sand camel beast and didn't notice anything unusual, but the wolf howls in the camp began to rise and fall.
The wolf cubs clearly sensed that a dangerous smell was approaching.
The commotion of the wolves soon alarmed the leader of the wolf king of this army of bone tribes.
The wolf king is also the commander of this army, and he commands this army of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. They were stationed here to provide food, grass and drinking water for the front-line army. At the same time, thousands of slaves were driven to excavate this ancient ruin, looking for the legendary underground secret passage.
After hearing the commotion outside the big tent, the wolf king strode out of the big tent shirtless, first raised his head to the sky and let out a wolf howl, which immediately shocked all the wolves and did not dare to make another time, and then ordered the left and right to send a team of wolf riders to investigate the situation.
Outside the camp, the camel rider named Amo also sensed something was wrong, and with his backhand he took the curved bow from his back and mounted a wolf's tooth arrow covered with jagged teeth.
The moonlight was bright tonight, shining on the desert as if a layer of silver sand had fallen.
There is nothing to cover in such a night, and even farther than during the day, after all, the air during the day can be distorted and refracted by the high temperatures, resulting in a mirage.
For example, during the day today, he saw a huge black scorpion flash through a mirage, but no one believed him, but laughed at him for being stunned by the heat.
Amo was very angry about this, but he couldn't come up with evidence, so he could only stare at the sky with a belly of anger in his stomach to look for mirages, but unfortunately there were many mirages, but the big black scorpion never appeared again.
Amo, who was thinking wildly, unconsciously walked to the lake, and a breeze swept across the calm lake, making him shiver, and frightened him to quickly drive the sand camel away from the lake.
Suddenly, there was a splash of water in the dark lake, and there was a gurgling sound.
Amo was greatly stunned, and thought that there was some monster in the lake that was about to escape, so he was so shocked that he hurriedly bent his bow and pulled arrows at the boiling lake. But in a moment, the surface of the lake suddenly sunken down, forming a large whirlpool!
Amo was inexplicably frightened by what he saw, and wanted to hide back in the warmth of the camp immediately. Just as he was hurriedly driving his mount to turn around, he suddenly saw the camp arch up with a loud bang, followed by a large area of ground directly cracked and spewed out hot steam, and then directly collapsed, and then the surging icy lake water directly turned the entire camp into an ocean.
