"Phew!" Xiong Fuji wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, his teeth biting up and down a few times, and finally spit a mouthful of thick saliva on the sand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 A faint puff of light smoke came out of the sand and dried out at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the few hard grains of sand carried in the saliva melted back to where they belonged.

Nie Xiaoyang jumped on one foot, tilted his head to the left, and was using his right hand to control the sand that had spilled into his ear hole: "Hell, even if it's cooler, even the wind is hot in the desert." ”

"When it's night, you'll miss the temperature of the day." Feng Bai held Jia Xiao's big sword in his hand and dug out the young man who was half-buried in the sand, "We're lucky, this place is not far from Locklac, and the scale of the sandstorm is still small. When we reach the depths of the Thundering Sand Sea, this kind of wind alone can kill us a dozen times...... That kind of wind happens every day. ”

"I'm willing to bet that half of the reason why Xishu has become a ghost place that no one cares about." Nie Xiaoyang grumbled, and suddenly realized that there was another aboriginal in the team, so he closed his mouth knowingly and sorted out the sand grains that had been drilled into the armor.

Lu Xiu didn't care, he just squatted down to himself, and said seriously to the cat who was licking his hair: "This time it's really ...... Thanks to you. ”

That is, two hours before nightfall, there was a small sandstorm on the hunting ground. The cat, who was paralyzed in Qin Shuiyu's arms, was dizzy and weak, and shouted with difficulty, "The smell of the wind has changed", which gave the hunters nearly a minute to prepare. The wind swept the gravel over the head of the One-Star Hunter for a quarter of an hour before it dissipated, but there were no stones too large in the wind, and it was not strong enough to blow away any of its companions. But lying on the ground and feeling the terrifying wind howl of the Yin Soldiers, the faces of the one-star hunters who got up turned pale.

"That's Elu's job on the hunting grounds." As the sun approached, the temperature in the sea of sand dropped by half, and the light dimmed, gradually approaching the environment to which the Ailu clan could adapt.

"With cats and cats, of course a sandstorm of this level can't be a threat, right?" The little head proudly picked up his entourage, and in the girl's heart, the identity of the cat's pet may be much more important than the identity of the hired cat. She looked around at her embarrassed teammates, ignoring that her hair had already become a bird's nest. It's just that the smug look didn't last long, and Qin Shuiyu's entire face sank suddenly, "How can it be...... It's over! ”

"What's wrong?" Xiong Fuji pulled out the spear that was stuck diagonally on the ground.

"The trail of the salon is lost...... the girl pursed her lips with a bitter face, "such a big storm, nothing is left behind......"

The hunting process is actually very boring for the most part, just a constant rush, track out, rest and continue on the road, nothing more. It's fine if you're a monster that's too lazy to hide like a red-armored beast, but when it comes to a cunning species like Sharon, the tedious process often lasts for whole days or even days. But most of the dangers in hunting come from this, and if you don't keep the speed and rhythm of tracking and fleeing well, you will consume too much physical strength and spirit before the battle, and perhaps the battle that is destined to come will be won or lost before the opening.

The reversal of identities between hunter and prey also mostly occurs in this process.

Even if Lu Xiu found the hole left by the ichthyosaurs in time, Sharon's whereabouts were still only vaguely visible. Under the scorching midday sun, the hunters circled in the sea of sand, although the sneaking tracks of the monsters became clearer and clearer, and the feces left behind became more and more wet, but except for these signs, the shadow of the saloon body was not found. Monsters seem to hang thousands of kilometers away from the hunters, but there is always a way to hide their tracks behind the rolling sand dunes.

The stalemate was certainly not a situation that the hunters wanted to see, and after judging the ups and downs of the terrain, the experienced Feng Bai decisively suggested taking a shortcut and cutting diagonally along the predicted monster trajectory, and sure enough, after half an hour, he found a fresher trace of the monster. But the good times didn't last long, and the sandstorm came at this time, and the salon that the teenagers had reached for the first time disappeared.

The storm enveloped at least a few dozen kilometers of the border, which meant that the nearest saloon was more than half a day's away from the hunters. "The whole terrain is different, and it's impossible to tell where they're going." Nie Xiaoyang kicked the sand in front of him fiercely, ignoring the sand grains that were raised and poured into it in large strands along the sufficient gaps, "After looking for a whole day, did you still do useless work in the end?" ”

"It's time for us to take a break." Feng Bai asked Qin Shui for advice.

"Why not, there's nothing to do right now anyway." The Great Bear slumped his shield and spear behind his back and sat down on the still warm sand. The boy had been preparing for the next battle for a whole day, and he was more disappointed than anyone else to end up like this.

"No, what does it mean below......" Seeing the expressions of the young people who were not deeply involved in the world falling down one by one, Feng Bai couldn't help but chuckle. In the process of chasing all the way, although the physical strength and hunter quality displayed by these children have fully reached the standard, the state of mind as hunters is far from mature. Just one blocked search can reduce the fighting spirit of the entire hunting group to this extent. He looked at the overly young regiment leader, this little hunting group was far from mature, Qin Shui Yu should shoulder the greatest responsibility in it, "Take a rest, get some equipment on the hour, and you will be fighting soon." ”

"Fighting? Where is there a fight? Jia Xiao said suspiciously.

"As soon as the sun goes down, Sharon may come to us." The two-star hunter said firmly, "They are the kings of this territory, and they must be tired of being chased by us for most of the day." ”

…………

Three flat shovel-shaped tawny heads rose from the sand one by one, centered on a particularly large, darker head, and the monsters' attention was looking under a leeward sand dune not far away.

In fact, it is more appropriate to say "listen", because it has been nighting for a long time at this moment, and the two eyes that grow on the monster's flat head have actually degenerated into sarcomas the size of two jujube cores. After years of walking in the sand, they do not need an organ to sense light, but instead have a more developed sense of hearing and smell. Right now, they can smell the smell of sweat upwind, but they can barely hear anything other than the wind.

"That's it." If the saloons had enough intelligence, they would have said so excitedly.

Despite no warning, they had a vague sense of being targeted by someone after they had funnily bitten four defenseless humans to death in the morning. While the hunters searched for the whereabouts of the monsters, they inevitably left their own trails, and the lighthouse generally pointed the way to the saloons ahead. The three monsters circled around the hunting ground, but showed no signs of shaking off the pursuers behind them.

When had the kings of the realm been so provoked, although their intelligence was not high, the instinct to hunt and chase had long been written in their blood, and it didn't take much effort for the sharons to take advantage of the convenience of sensing the wind and sand to bring the pursuers they had never met into a powerful desert storm.

These reptiles named humans, despite their powerful tracking skills and clever weapons, their bodies still can't withstand the sound from heaven and earth, and they are probably asleep after the raging wind.

The sharons opened their mouths to each other, and sound waves faster than human ears swirled around each other, and in a matter of seconds, their heads were shoveled back into the icy sand. The sand was rolled up at this motion, and there was a sound of squeezing, and in a few moments, three small mounds of earth staggered together from the sand, which had been smoothed out by the wind, and then slowly and then faster and faster in the direction where the hunters had fainted.

After a few hundred meters of distance, it was close to nothing, and the three sharons finally showed their heads at the top of the sand dunes where the hunters had landed. Up close, there were more humans fainting here than the ones they had encountered earlier, with six humans and a small orc being brought down in one fell swoop.

Six pairs of armor, somewhat dull from the sand, lay across the ground, and judging by the limited experience of the salons, these armors were probably as hard as their teeth, and it would take some effort to bite them open. However, the meat covered in armor is often fat and juicy, much more delicious and filling than the dry meat worms and underground beasts of the desert.

Perhaps because of a day of running, the sharons showed great hunger and thirst, and approached the hunter quietly while half-floating on the ground. The ichthyosaurs' low intelligence alone could not understand what regret was, but they already felt a little nostalgic for the good food that had been discarded in the morning. The monsters carefully avoided the props and weapons scattered on the ground, telling them that the gadgets were more dangerous than the humans themselves, whether they were admonished by their ancestors or their own experiences.

Nie Xiaoyang's one-handed sword was thrown within reach, although the young man's eyes were closed, but his ears heard the "rustle" sound that was getting closer and closer, and his hand still subconsciously reached for the weapon beside him.

On Lu Xiu's forehead, a drop of sweat ran down his sideburns, making him itch a little.

"Tong!" The head of the salon finally couldn't hold back the desire to eat, the monster's strong pectoral fins shook violently, the thick tail rolled under the sand, and the six or seven meters long body broke through the earth like a disemboweled, and the whole catapult shot into the air.

"It's now!" Qin Shuiyu's eyes opened suddenly, she rolled over, and stood up from a sand on the sand, the small white hammer in her hand had been raised, ready to fight.

As if he couldn't wait, Nie Xiaoyang picked up his one-handed sword and rolled out horizontally. One of the three salons in the air was pressing down on him. The boy only felt a huge shadow with a whining sound rushing through him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the strangest monster he had ever seen in his life.

Sharon, who adjusts his posture in the air, has his feet tucked together in his abdomen, and his two wide pectoral fins are also tucked in as much as possible at his side, which can affect the speed of his fall. But the monster is just raised to adjust the direction of the dorsal fin, which is equivalent to Xiao Yang's height, its entire body is like a sand-gray flower shovel magnified thousands of times, and a row of snowy teeth is exposed at the blade, and it is about to bite off the boy's head.

The one-star hunter was not confused, and he tugged the short blade in his hand during the rolling, and the iron chain attached to the hilt of the sword "brushed" straight out of the sand, and a small black shield flew from not far away, and smashed on the sharp edge of Sharon's face with a "bell".

The monster's arrogant open basin-shaped gulp closed in pain, and its streamlined body rubbed against the boy's body and hit the sand, and the scales rubbed against the ground with an annoying "zizi" sound, and Sharon's body couldn't hold its momentum, and it burst out of the distance, leaving a long mark.

"Hell, I knew it was me!" Seeing that the first wave of the monster's attack had passed, Nie Xiaoyang staggered to his feet, and while avoiding the distance, he pulled up the iron chain attached to the hilt of the sword, and the small round shield flew back deftly and stuck on the buckle of the young man's left arm.

Seeing that the strange situation was abrupt, the two retinue salons that were still lurking no longer continued to hide, and the two monsters' exposed heads shrank back like a force, and they also broke through the sand diagonally, and they wanted to run into the air and bite at the teenagers who were waiting for them.

"You're the one you're waiting for!" The sonic boom jade in Jia Xiao's hand had already been thrown out, and the silver prop ball fell straight on top of the monster's head before exploding. After a high-pitched hum, the two monsters that had been hit at close range were as if they had been struck by lightning suddenly, and their bodies lost their strength uncontrollably, but after escaping out of the sand, they fell to the ground weakly, and their bodies spasmed, trying to get up as quickly as possible.

Lu Xiu and Xiong Fuji both found their target, and the dragonman's heavy sword raised and slashed at the monster's thick tail fin. The scale armor of the salon other than the leader was not thick, and the young man only felt as if he was slashing on a piece of ruined leather, and the blood instantly dispersed. On the other side, Xiong Fuji also sent the spear into the monster's abdomen, and the body of the spear twitched, causing the still struggling Sharon to silently open his mouth.

"Safety! There is no other like it! Feng Bai's voice came from a distance, the arrows of the two-star hunter were precious, and the lethality was too great, once it hurt Sharon's life, everyone would have no way of knowing the location of the beast king. Therefore, he did not make a move, and after luring the enemy, he stood aside and stood on guard.

"You can let go of your hands and feet!" The bear drew the spear from the monster's chest and nimbly sprang out of a position under the cover of the shield. Sharon, who had just stood up, couldn't turn around, and was cut into a circular bloody hole in his right leg.

"Don't overdo it!" Feng Bai reminded worriedly, "If you're too weak, you won't be able to let them lead the way!" ”
