Chapter 1289: Exploring the Wilderness (4)
At the same time in the backyard of the Grand Casino in Cairo.
"Are you all ready?" said Captain Shiloma, glancing at the Sphinx players, and boarded the sand boat himself.
"Wow. Albert looked at the small sand ship from afar. Although the ship is small, it can accommodate at least a hundred people, and the Sphinx team only sent the main team members and a dozen substitutes to the second army to play this time, and this ship has to fit the entire team, of course, it is more than excellent.
Albert also saw Daddy Sphinx. Daddy Lionman and Shiloma got on the boat together, and the two walked side by side, and their relationship seemed quite close. Of course, this statement is relative to the orcs in the team who have great respect for the Sphinx Daddy and dare not walk in front of him at all.
"The whole team is not afraid of Captain Shilomar, Daddy Sphynx?" Albert asked curiously.
"Of course," Gusta, the Tiger man in charge of playing the center position, leaned over and said, "You should already know that most of the players on this team were originally slaves, or destitute outcasts, and they were fortunate to be sheltered by Sphinx Daddy in Egypt to survive." But Shilomar, that guy is special. "Special?
"He wasn't originally a slave, but came to Egypt as a bodyguard for a rabbit caravan. But he was a gambler by nature, and he gambled for a thousand, and was finally caught in the Cairo casino. According to tradition, the casino man was supposed to cut off his left hand. But Daddy let him go, thinking that Shiloma was a smart and usable talent, so he paid a lot of money for Shiloma to join the club and play for the Sphinx - a little like you, little tiger. "Huh. Albert snorted under his breath and walked with Mutt onto the sandboat.
The ship's engine roared, the backyard gate opened at the same time, and the sand boat sprang out of the private dock of the Cairo Grand Casino and into the sea of sand in an instant. The desert weather was as clear as ever, and the morning sun was not too scorching, and it fell evenly on the deck of the sandboat, giving the deckers a chance to enjoy the morning breeze.
Albert looked around, and saw that the players of the Sphinx team were doing some gentle and gentle warm-up exercises on the deck, and he didn't dare to slack off and began to run on the deck.
"What are you doing?!" Unexpectedly, Mutt immediately stopped the tiger in a fit of rage.
"Uh, I'm in ...... Run. "You shouldn't do strenuous exercise for three hours before the game!" What if you accidentally strain your ligaments?!" Albert was immediately upset: "Stinky boy! I have my own score for my own body, how much exercise is considered strenuous exercise, you think I don't know meow? You're not my mother, you need to control me everywhere?!" "I'm just for your good! How do athletes usually exercise, you don't seem to have a clue!" Since I'm your personal assistant, I think it's necessary to point you through all this!?"Am I doing something wrong!?" "Relax, little ghosts!" Philios happened to pass by, and saw Albert and Muth arguing, and hurriedly persuaded him: "We're not a lot of people, so we can't tolerate each other?" "But this guy wants to take care of everything, even if I run a step, I'm about to become his slave!" Albert complained angrily.
"Then you're wrong, Mutter. Feleos glanced at the cat-man boy.
"I'm telling him what he can do to exercise properly in order to win the game!"
"Then you're not right, Mutter. Celeos said calmly: "Mr. Albert is the helper we have brought back, but he is not obligated to go to the competition. He has the right not to interfere in today's game, and he has the right not to do our training routine at all and to go his own way. We must not force Mr. Albert to do anything he doesn't like to do, as Daddy Sphinx has commanded. "But...... "If you're not convinced, you can ask your dad to find out." Celeos gave the cat man a blank look: "Your job is only to assist Mr. Albert and teach him the proper way to train, so as not to overstep his authority and control his life." "Okay, okay...... Mutt hung his ears, unable to say half a sentence.
Philios glanced at Albert's waist again, "Why do you still have weapons?" "We're being targeted, Philios. Albert subconsciously touched the saber at his waist and shrugged, "Yesterday in the elevator, as well as at Mutter's house, we were assassinated twice in total. Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough, otherwise I would have been crushed by the elevator and meowed to death in the fire. Anyway, I'm never going to walk out there with my bare hands anymore, no amount of life is enough to die!" Feleos paused thoughtfully: "This has never happened before. Is it that other teams are afraid of [Sandstorm King] to such an extent? "It's not fun at all!!," Albert and Mutter spat in unison.
"Haha. Feleos laughed dryly, and his expression became stern again: "Do you have a clue who did it?" Albert exclaimed, "How can it be! I'm not familiar with you dark American football games!" "Maybe it's the Ghana Black King Kong team, our opponent today." Mutter touched his cheeks and whispered, "They are known for their vile fighting methods. Taking all kinds of stimulants, stealing weapons in protective gear, in short, as long as they don't get caught and fouled, they dare to do anything. "Wouldn't it? Even that Ghana Black King Kong team can't be so bold?" Celeos looked a little stunned.
"Or maybe the teams we're going to run into in the future, God knows. Albert snorted, "But in time, the answer will be revealed." "Yes. Feleos nodded, "Until then, you'll have to be careful. By the way, do you need a bodyguard, Mr. Albert? For example, let a strong man like Gusta follow you, and you can take care of you in a critical situation. "No, no, really not!" Tiger hurriedly refused: "Everywhere there is a large group of men following behind the ass, it is definitely not a pleasant thing! You see I already have a long-winded little follower here, I don't need more!" "But this kid is not a combatant, he has no combat effectiveness, and he has no professional combat training...... "I don't need his protection anyway," Albert said nonchalantly, "and if anything happens, I'll take care of this kid." "Who wants you to protect" Mutter suddenly snorted all over his body, snorting and turning his face away.
"Whew. Well, Mutter will leave it to you. With that, Philios patted Albert on the shoulder and walked away.
"Are you alright?" Albert glanced at the cat-man boy in confusion, and Mut's face was as red as a ripe apple.
"Yes, it's just a bit of heat stroke. Mutter covered his face as much as he could to keep it out of the tiger's sight: "Leave me alone!" the tiger tilted his head in confusion.
At that time, several orcs dressed in leather armor and heavily armed passed by, not in athlete attire. From their outfits, they looked like guards of the sand boats.
"So the ship is still guarded. Albert couldn't help but complain.
"Because there are many dangers that can be encountered when navigating in the desert, such as the Desert Shark, or the Sand Sea Pirates. Mutter replied, still looking away.
"I've heard about the Desert Sharks, but they're just a bunch of mindless beasts. Albert remembered Bediwell's previous description, and he could probably understand what a dangerous creature the desert shark was: "But what kind of meow is the Sand Sea Pirate?ββ Daddy Sphinx is obviously a dangerous person, and there are people who dare to eat black and beat Daddy's idea, is they impatient to live a meow?" "So you don't understand." Mutt shook his head disdainfully: "The Sand Sea pirates are a bunch of idiots and outlaws, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, even the former pharaohs do not pay attention. As long as there is any overlap with the path of their sand ships, these damn pirates will rob and kill and burn. The only way to deal with these unscrupulous hooligans is to confront them with violence, and it is useless to negotiate or threaten them. "It's meow. Albert took a closer look at the fleet guards. The guards were all fat and strong, and the equipment on their bodies was also excellent, and their swords, guns, swords, and halberds were sharpened to a cold light. Considering that Daddy Sphinx is also on this ship, this point of Cheng DΓΉ's guards must be necessary. Although the strength of the Sand Sea pirates is unknown, there should be nothing to fear, right?
An inexplicable crash overhead caught everyone's attention.
Bang la !!
The solar sails of the sand boat suddenly cracked one after another, crackling like broken glass, which made people's hearts feel cold.
Albert looked up curiously. In the time they were talking, something had smashed a big hole in the sandboat's solar sails. The gray-black sail was originally a collection of fragile and fragile silicone sheets, and after such a smash, dozens of cracks were created near the hole, and they continued to extend as the sand boat sailed!
"Oh my God!" exclaimed Albert. As an adventurer, he has a lot of experience in adventure, and he can already have a premonition that something bad is coming.
Sure enough, more light bullets came from high in the sky and rained down on the sun sails of the sand boat!
