It's a barren sand dune, and all you can see is a drab yellow-brown color, and even the plants that grow in this place seem to be dyed, and there is no greenery at all.

The sun hanging high in the sky radiated its own scorching light without hesitation, making the entire sand dunes as hot as steamers, and even the scene in the field of vision was distorted by the terrifying heat, and it looked as uncomfortable as through the transparent curtain.

Occasionally, the bones of some animals can be seen in the sand dunes, and the white bones are very obvious against the tawny sand dunes, which makes the mood even more boring.

This is the copy of the Gate of Trials called [Tawny Dune].

The conditions for opening this dungeon are [Night Forest: Periphery] clearance evaluation B or above, and the completion of the 'School House' building, which is considered to be the same period as the [Noisy Seaside] that Xiwei has already cleared.

Because the note on the quest panel that told him to be ready for everything made him a little uneasy, he decided to clear this dungeon before entering [Tower of Grinding: First Floor] and get the reward.

Xiwei wiped the sweat from his forehead, generally speaking, if ordinary people act casually in this weather, it will only take half an hour to fall into a state of dehydration. Fortunately, this time, there is a potion called 'Summer Elixir', the effect of this alchemy product can keep Xiwei in a normal temperature state, and he will not be overwhelmed by the terrifying temperature outside.

However, there are only three bottles of this convenient potion, and the effect of one bottle is about twenty minutes, in fact, the effect of taking it for more than ten minutes will begin to weaken, so now Xiwei will be sweating profusely, and if you don't want to become a human, you have to quickly kill the boss within an hour to clear the level.

"That being said...... Sivi gasped and sat on a piece of mammoth-like tusks, looking wearily at the endless open area, "Aren't the first few copies all having fixed routes?" Where is the road now? If there is no road, such a big desert, where can I find a boss! ”

Now that he had been in the dungeon for more than forty minutes, he had consumed two bottles of heat refuge potion, and in order not to waste the potion, he was already gritting his teeth and carrying the heat air, planning to drink the last bottle of medicine until he couldn't bear it anymore.

But this can't solve the problem.,If you can't find the boss, you can't clear the customs.,Then this time the copy doesn't have any real harvest at all except for some things collected from the miscellaneous soldiers.,You have to know that the treasure chest in the boss area of each copy and the reward for clearing the customs are the big heads.,It's like wasting a chance to a copy for no reason.。

Just as Sivi was at a loss for what to do with the vast desert, the sand not far from him suddenly moved, and something began to creep towards him from the ground.

However, before he could get ten meters closer, a blue ball of light hit the extremely unnaturally raised sand.

It was the water elemental magic ice bullet that Xiwei had just mastered for a long time, although the power in the desert was weakened a lot, but the effect of the water element magic was also extremely outstanding for the creatures living in the desert.

A strange reptile with crimson scales and a body that resembles a Komodo dragon that stretches to two meters, but with a head that resembles a horned viper, emerges from the sand.

Nugget lizards, reptiles, lizard-clawed species. The crusade level is level 4, and the characteristic is a 'sand swimming' that can move freely in the sand, and to be honest, there is nothing particularly powerful. However, it should be noted that although this guy is non-toxic, there are a lot of bacteria in his mouth, and if he is bitten, he may die of infection if he is not disinfected properly. …,

On the way from the camp to here, Sivi had killed nearly twenty gold digging lizards.

In fact, apart from the Desert Slime (Crusade Level 2), which is disguised as a stone and suddenly uses a toe-smashing attack when he walks by, there seems to be only monsters like the Nuggets Lizard left......

After adding an ice bullet and a magic missile to quickly eliminate the other party, Xiwei used the mage's hand to carry the corpse that was visually hundreds of catties in front of him for collection.

This monster doesn't have a magic core in its body, so even if it's lucky, it's impossible to collect elemental crystal fragments and the like, and from the current point of view, this kind of monster should only explode the two resource materials of [Rough Lizard Skin] and [Nugget Claw].

This time, what Sivi collected was a strange material called [Abomination of the Nugget Lizard].

"What is this?" He looked curiously at the item.

【Nugget Lizard's Abomination (Special)】

【Special/Temporary Items】

[Your hands are stained with the blood of the Nuggets Lizards, and the resentment of their death haunts you, and will soon summon great calamity!] 】

“……”

Sivi looked speechlessly at a black object that looked like a tooth in his hand.

What do you call it stained with the blood of the nuggets lizard, and it's clear that I'm killing it with magic from a distance! No, it's not this place to pay attention to. What a great calamity! Besides, he killed more goblins than the Nuggets Lizard, right? If you want to take revenge, don't you want to be on the goblin side? It's not scientific, coach!

Spit and complain, but Xiwei also understood something.

That is, the boss in this dungeon probably doesn't have a fixed location at all!

Come to think of it, this sand dune is so big that if you really have to find a small fixed place in an hour, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, so you should have to start from other aspects to fight the boss.

For example, kill a certain number of Nugget Lizards or something.

Thinking of this, he simply drank the last bottle of heat refuge potion, and then with a force on his hand, the [Gold Nugget Lizard's Abomination] shattered like those used crystals. Then something was approaching from a distance at a very fast speed, and even if there was still some distance, the sand that had been lifted several meters high because of its rapid movement was particularly eye-catching.

Sivi tried to release an ice bullet, but it was unsurprisingly dodged by the other party. What's even more terrifying is that the guy didn't slow down even when he dodged, but used a drift-like technique to easily avoid the sniping of the ice bullet!

At this time, the appearance of the other party gradually became clear, it was a triangular fin that appeared out of the sand like a shark......

"Shark fins, at this speed, there should be the same lizard claw species as the Nugget Lizard...... Ah, that's the one. Sivi snapped his fingers, and based on the above conditions, he had almost guessed the other party's body.

If you can't win by speed, then it's better to compete with strength. Seeing through the opponent's body, Xiwei spread out his palm, and a ball of light appeared in his hand, and then the ball of light began to grow larger, and then suddenly shrunk, and became larger and smaller, and kept repeating the two states of getting bigger and smaller, giving people a feeling like the heart was beating.

It wasn't until the shark's fin was close enough to reach less than twenty meters that he waved his arm and reflected the charged magic missile in his hand.

Just listen to the 'boom——! With a bang, the explosion point of the magic missile was like a large-yield bomb detonated in the water, setting off a wave of sand more than ten meters high, and the surrounding sand and soil were scattered as if they were hung by a hurricane, and some of the sand on the periphery was like splashing stones, which made Xi Wei, who was standing more than ten meters away, painful. Then the sand slowly rose with the updraft, turning into a small yellow-brown mushroom cloud. After a few more seconds, the mushroom cloud formed by the sand and dust gradually dissipated, revealing a large crater about five meters deep on the ground, and the edge of the crater was radial, showing the enormity of the explosion.

Inside the pit was a large sailfish that looked like it had four legs and shark fins. With its long, jagged snout, streamlined silhouette and fine scales making it easy to navigate the sand, the lizard's powerful four legs give him the power to move through the sand.

Sword shark lizard, reptilian beast, lizard claw species, crusade level 8. Traveling underground at a very fast speed, it also has a ring of earth elemental magic 'gravitational bones', which can form an energy field of earth elements around the body, and in addition to reducing the difficulty of traveling under the sand, it can also defend against magical attacks.

Although this kind of speed + defense type monster is only level 8, it can be regarded as a natural enemy for many beginner mages. No one is fast enough to run, regardless of whether you hit or not, the magic power of the first ring is not enough to hurt the other party, and the people in the second ring don't give you time to cast spells at all. If it weren't for the magic missile that Xiwei used with all his strength to exert a destructive power close to the second ring, and at the same time the attack range was large enough, I'm afraid he would be very nerve-wracking now.
