Chapter 23 The Worm-headed Giant Emerges
"The desert sand is like snow, the moon is like a hook, but the heart is like an arrow, and the homesickness is a flat boat......" I rarely read a few words of my hometown. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Dude, what are you talking about?"
"Well, it's nothing, I've come up with it," Li Xiao retracted his gaze and looked at the young man beside him with a smile. After sending Luo Rong out of the tent just now, he didn't expect to suddenly look at it and see an emaciated figure sitting alone on the sand dunes in the distance.
Li Xiao's eyes to see who the figure was, he only needed to know it at a glance. After a moment's thought, he turned back to the tent and took a hand-sewn beast sweater, which was soft, thick, and insulating, and was a good piece of equipment.
At this time, it was already very late at night, and Li Xiao left the tent area with very light steps and came to Zeeland Smith's side.
"Aren't you afraid of the cold at night?" The tone seemed to be blamed, but after empathy, this was Li Xiao's true feelings.
Draped the animal skin coat on the young man's body, for the younger brother in this memory, Li Xiao felt quite kind, the young man had a small beard, and the silhouette should have been trimmed neatly, but after these days of long-distance travel, it seemed that the beard was unkempt.
However, except for Li Xiao's own body, all the Smith facial features of this generation are very good-looking, and the blue eyes look very connotative, as if covered with a layer of silk veil, which will always make people who interact with him want to find out.
And when Li Xiao sat down beside Zelan, at such a close distance, he could clearly feel that the young man's body was tense slightly. And Zeeland also looked like he wanted to say something.
And so it went by for a long time. It was Li Xiao who broke the deadlock, which is the scene seen at the beginning.
Zelan hugged his knees in front of him with both hands at this time, turned his face sideways, and looked at Li Xiao strangely: "Do you know, you are completely different from the brother in my memory, but you are exactly the same as the brother in my dream." ”
The soft and lightweight beast sweater effectively blocked the cold of the night, like an invisible hand, firmly protecting him inside. In such a cold night, Zeelan's heart also became warm.
Li Xiao didn't speak, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, he kept looking at each other calmly.
"Brother, I can't sleep, I'm afraid that once I wake up tomorrow, everything will disappear," Zelan said the worry in his heart, and actually threw himself directly into Li Xiao's arms.
"Brother, can you tell me that all this is not a dream," the young man was already a little stuffy, and his voice became hoarse. Based on Li Xiao's understanding of him from memory, the young man was able to hold back and not cry, which was already a small improvement.
"Silly boy," Li Xiao's heart was also touched, he sighed slightly, stroked the blonde hair on the other party's head and whispered, "You are really a stupid child." ”
The brothers were strangely silent for a while, and Li Xiao suddenly whispered, "Zelan, do you think my brother will lie to you?" ”
"Uh-huh......" The young man, who had thought he was asleep, let out a muffled nasal voice.
"Brother, you big liar!"
Bayar felt that he had been deceived, and the person who deceived him was none other than his own brother, whom he had always trusted the most!
The emaciated body grinded on the ground like a green worm, the cold rocks collided, and some dry grass on the edge of the bullpen stuck to his hair with friction, but Bayard didn't pay any attention to it, and the two black black olives stared at the setting sun.
"Big bastard, did you hear me, let me go." Anxious and angry, Bayard spun around the ground, his tightly bound feet on the bullpen.
But no matter how much he struggled, as he moved, the ropes on his body would change accordingly, always binding him tightly so that he could not be freed.
But the sunset on Xinghua's back didn't say a word, and since he tied Bayar before, he didn't bother to pay attention to his younger brother, but silently counted the number of cattle behind him by starlight.
"Damn the rope," Bayard yelled angrily. But letting him kick and bite won't help at all.
~*~*~*~*~
Cattle and rope lasso
(A skill unique to the desert, the character can be accessed at level 30, and you can learn from the nomad predecessors.) Note: Ropes are magic items that have no or little effect on creatures higher than level 5. )
A large, flexible round rope is used to lasso the throat of the cow, but the flexible rope seems to be able to lassoze other creatures; If the force is enough, you can control the target, and the rope has its own binding effect, which lasts for 30s, and the longer the time, the easier it is to break free.
――――
"Stay here honestly, someone will see it tomorrow, and they will naturally let you go," the sunset on the back of the cow adjusted his posture, and looked at his brother with a trace of reluctance and determination. It's just that Bayar doesn't have the heart to pay attention to these now, so naturally he won't have the opportunity to see it.
"I don't, why can you save Brother Yakehan, but I can't, you selfish ghost." Bayard couldn't hear it, the saliva in his throat running down the corners of his mouth with his roar, and his face on the ground was covered with dirt and grass clippings.
Sunset shook his head, but he no longer paid attention to the imp, and then he reached out, like a mage trying to send a small fireball in an instant.
But there was also a similarity, starting from his palm, a small flame burst out.
This time the flames were faint at first, like wicks, as if they might be blown away at any moment under the cold wind of the desert.
But it was such a small flame that suddenly swelled, then shrunk, swelled, and shrunk......
It goes back and forth like this, and it feels like there is a rhythm of life.
The setting sun had sunk down, and his whole mind was on the flame, and as he was engrossed, the flame finally began to change.
There was a hint of crimson flame in the yellow, and it suddenly swelled, and it never retracted, and it continued like this, and in an instant, it turned into a huge fireball in the palm of the setting sun.
"Squeak," there was a faint breath of life between the flames, no longer as rigid and rigid as before, the sprouts of the flames swayed for a while, and there was a sound similar to that of a monkey coming from inside.
The "squeak" continued, and this time the flames unfurled, as if a baby had woken up curled up in a sleeping room.
First the arms, then a living monkey's head; A pair of eyes made of flames kept blinking, and then the little monkey stretched out, and at the same time, the originally fat belly was suddenly elongated, and the bottom of the flames left in the sunset's palms also turned into monkey feet.
"Squeak!"
It was described as very long, but in fact it only took a few breaths for this lively little monkey to appear in the palm of the setting sun. The sunset was motionless at this time, as if it had been spelled, but the monkey in his hand first put his hand on the pergola, watched for a while, and then suddenly rose into the air.
The flames were already light, and the monkey was now like a cloud, its two paws hooked and folded on its chest, and it opened its feet, kicking its legs in the air.
Each time, he could leap up a few feet, slam into the air, and then explode directly in the air, forming countless small orange flames scattered in various places.
And as the flames fell, they all changed into the appearance of little monkeys, and some of them wrestled with each other in mid-air; Others look around; Others had solemn faces, as if they knew what they were going to do, and when they found the tail of the herd, they pounced on it without hesitation.
~*~*~*~
Sky Monkey: The nomad releases a large number of small fire spirits that spit out, and the fire spirits have a certain amount of intelligence and can automatically adjust a certain error, but at the same time have different personalities. The scattered miniature fire spirits can be pulled according to the caster's mental power, and can be manipulated with extreme dexterity. This serves as a warning, for minor burns, and for driving livestock.
――――
There was a fire in the herd, and the yellow pupils opened suddenly, and the setting sun was so fierce that one of the monkeys fell on the tail of the apricot blossom with a snort.
"Moo," the originally tame female cow, the hooves of the cow the size of a sea bowl, quickly trampled the ground at this moment, and the rumbling sound on the ground continued.
The flames seemed to arouse the most primitive fears of the bighorn herd.
At this moment, under her leadership, this team of nearly 100 cattle rushed wildly.
"Yakehan, wait for me," he finally glanced at his brother, and Sunset thought silently in his heart.
As soon as the herd came out of the exit of the pen, it formed a formation following its instinct.
This direction was set before sunset, and the exit of the bullpen was specially selected to face it.
As long as the herd keeps rushing in this direction, it will pass by the lions that are almost fan-shaped!
The wind fuels the fire, except for the apricot blossom who has not been smeared with butter, and the flame on the body has been extinguished, all the rest of the cattle are full of fire, and the butter boiled is very resistant to burning.
Because of this, the flames on these cows are still concentrated in the tail, but as the saying goes, "fire burns the buttocks", the blazing high temperature has made these cows all fall into madness.
Boom boom boom!
The dense sound of cow hooves falling to the ground was like the beat of a wrestler's drum on a person's chest, making people unable to stop breathing.
The whole body was leaning on the back of the cow, and the sunset's eyes narrowed tightly.
Get closer, and you'll be able to see the Jacohan right away!
"Tsk!" But at this moment, the mutation was steep, and a small dirt bag that was originally inconspicuous on the side of the road suddenly exploded, and at the same time, a sturdy black-shelled thief beetle pounced out, and its sharp mouthparts bit directly on the throat of a running bull led by it, and with strong inertia, it fell to the ground.
"Moo~" Before he died, the bighorn cow's eyes cleared for a moment, and then his body was trampled by the huge cow's hooves.
Click!
First is the hip bone, then the spine, then the head and even the horns. Where can red-eyed bighorns still distinguish the same kind!
It was as if it were nothing more than a small dirt bag, and countless bighorn cattle had stepped on it, including the black-shelled thief beetle.
It's really unlucky. This demonic beast was not spared, although the trampling of the herd only caused him to lose less than one ten-thousandth of his blood, but the ground could not withstand the strong pressure, and still 'swallowed' it alive.
"Twitter!"
Boom boom boom!
The screams of the beetle thieves were drowned out by the sound of cow hooves. Finally, when the herd was over, all that was left on the ground was a pool of bloody broken bones and a black-shelled thief beetle with almost its entire body sunk into the dirt and its limbs twitching. The guy was obviously momentarily stunned.
This is just one of the sights of this night raid.
But there's more than one thief beetle ambushing along the way!
Almost along the way, at every distance traveled, the setting sun was ambushed by the beetle thieves, which hid under the sand and rocks and spread out irregularly, but they were all very well hidden.
And the cattle in the wild have long since disobeyed the leader's command, and even Xinghua, who has come to her senses at this time, is helplessly driven forward.
The herd can be described as the trend of the times, and can only hit straight forward. Some of the beetle thieves along the way were picked up by the horns, and some of them successfully pounced on the bull and successfully gnawed down on this flatbread.
But then these guys with extremely low IQs will soon be trampled under the feet of the running herd.
The losses along the way are not insignificant. When Sunset saw the lions, the entire herd was cut in half, and the bighorn oxen, which were less than fifty after a burst of running, also began to pant slightly, and a large amount of white gas was exhaled between heavy snorts.
"It's a bit bad," Sunset pinned himself to Apricot Blossom's back in a constant jolt, muttering to himself that the number of cows was a little small, and with the temperament of a lion, it was likely that a few cows would be left as 'snacks'.
However, he was also secretly glad that the Black Shell Thief Beetle could not attack magically, and even if it became a magical beast, it would only focus on defense. That's why they can let the herd pass, and if they encounter those magical beasts with group attack spells, a wave of attacks can leave their entire herd behind.
However, when the sunset wanted to relax a little, the lions approaching in front of him had already yelled at him: "Roar!! ”
The lion's voice was deafening, and after the mane exploded, it was cold in the cold wind.
But the herd has no regard for it at this time, and Sunset is helpless in his heart, once the crazy herd runs, he will not listen to the command at all, and he can only wrap his arms around Xinghua's neck now, hoping to see Yakehan as soon as possible.
It's just that he doesn't know why, but those male lions really see it, a huge black giant, as tall as the sky, and his head is almost hidden into the clouds!
And such a demon god took advantage of the night to quietly appear behind the herd of cattle at sunset.
The giant's head is exactly the same as that of a thief beetle, and his six pairs of arms are more like the worm's feet. Where the muscles bulged, there was a vertical exoskeleton barb, but at the end it looked like a human hand.
But the lions' reminder that the sunset was obviously not heard, and it was only as if a dark cloud flew overhead again, obscuring the starlight.
On the other hand, the black giant seemed to be quite wise, and I saw that he squatted down at this time, and the bighorn ox, which was nearly two meters high, actually only saw his ankles.
It's hard to imagine how the giant's size managed to be silent.
But the giant did, and when he reached out and slapped it, a large hand enclosed the whole herd as if it were a child, and cast a dark shadow of the boss on the ground.
"Whew!"
"Roar!"
The lions were frightened, some of them were even shaking, and some of them were howling unyieldingly, as if they wanted to prove their existence.
But even if it is a monster, the size of these lions is so small, compared to giants, like the difference between an elephant and an ant, it is simply insignificant.
The next moment, Sunset and his herd are about to be slapped into meat by giants!
But at this critical moment, a pillar of light rose into the air, from the back to the chest, and pierced the black giant's heart.
The giant screamed in pain, and the whole person stood up. Visually, it should have been overturned into the sea, but after a series of actions, it seemed to be silent.
Not only was the black giant's entire chest pierced, but at the edge of the circular hole, a large amount of black gas continued to emerge, no matter how he pounced, it would not be extinguished, it was like an industrial chimney of the old society in the previous life.
What's going on? Isn't this Li Xiao's destruction and death!
