Chapter 007: Mithril Dagger
The existence of giant creatures in the Beser Desert has always been a legend, and the origin of the legend is no longer known. But even those who have passed through the desert alive by the gods of luck have never really encountered the so-called legendary creatures.
Judging by their battle scenes, Taryn still needs to sneak deeper into the sand.
In the Beser Desert, the sand layer varies in depth, from shallow to only one or two meters to tens of meters deep, and the undulations are quite exaggerated.
And this area happens to belong to the deep sand, which can give him enough shelter, as for the refugee team on the sand, it is not something he can influence.
However, he still constructed the above scene in his mind through Sha Wei and his own unique perception.
Taryn has seen and heard in his two lifetimes, and there is no way to classify these two scorpions and centipedes, which should be unique to the Bether Desert, both have yellow-brown bodies and scarlet eyes. The scorpion's tail spines stand up high, and the sharp pincer-like chelicerae are constantly biting the air, as if ready to tear open the carapace of the prey at any time, and the two giant pincers continue to attack the centipede's body.
The giant centipede did not show weakness, and the sharp pliers on its tail, which resembled scissors, kept cutting towards the giant scorpion's tail, and its long body kept trying to entangle the giant scorpion.
Obviously, both of them saw each other as their prey. One can imagine how terrifying an ecosystem it would take to maintain their size?
What is there in this seemingly barren Beser Desert?
The battlefield of scorpions and centipedes quickly approached the noble knight refugee group of the Snow Eagle Principality. Such an earth-shattering picture was enough to scare the servants who were submissive, and the riots and panic spread rapidly.
People didn't even have time to fetch supplies for their camels and horses, so they desperately tried to escape the place.
And the thirty-man knight team surrounded the nobles such as Lot and Mihir in the middle. They knew very well that they would never be able to go far if they carried supplies with them. But if you don't bring supplies, it's no different from suicide, so they have no choice but to stay!
They are not only well-trained knights, but also warriors of extraordinary courage! In the face of such a giant monster, they will be afraid, but they will not be afraid!
It's good, Taryn has lived three lives, and he has been human for two lives, and he still supports them emotionally. However, from a practical point of view, they basically have no chance of winning, unless they have the strength of the Emerald Empire's Praetorian Guard, it is not enough to see at all.
The battle between the two giant monsters was fierce, and soon the tail spines of the giant scorpion pierced the back half of the centipede's branches in a gap, and the centipede bit the body of the giant scorpion in one bite.
Dark green blood splattered out from the centipede's body, and the part of the giant scorpion's tail thorn that was connected to its body was also bitten by the centipede, but the giant scorpion completely ignored this injury and wanted to use the giant pincers to cut off the centipede's body!
The centipede struggled frantically, rolling up the yellow sand to create a visual feast no less than a sandstorm. The bodies of the two monsters kept rolling, getting closer and closer to the crowd, and even though the sand here was unfathomable, it still couldn't cushion much of the shock.
The huge shaking caused the sand layer to loosen to varying degrees, and some camels and horses fell into the sand in the screams. Many of the fleeing servants had sunk into the sand, struggling with terrible cries.
The gradually darkening sky and the yellow sand in the sky make people see no hope of survival.
Suddenly, the two monsters in the struggle stopped abruptly, and in less than a moment, the centipede broke free from the scorpion's restraint and disappeared into the sand.
Taryn could sense the speed of the centipede moving through the sand...... It's just perverted! The giant scorpion also burrowed headlong into the sand. In addition to the slight vibration of the sand on the soles of their feet, the two monsters lost their traces in the blink of an eye.
"They...... Let's go? Lott was stunned.
The captain of the knight also looked apprehensive, and said uncertainly: "I don't know ...... either"
They can now be said to be a real refugee group, just witnessing a battle of desert monsters, they have lost half of their supplies and dozens of people! And there are still some materials that need to be dug out, which is not a small amount of work.
But in any case, they have all picked up a life, which is something to be happy about.
Taryn had always liked to spoil other people's joy, even though he sensed that the giant scorpion had not gone far, and after realizing that he could not catch up with the centipede, he turned back...... At least a few more seconds can they be happy?
The desert is barren in resources, and since it can't catch up with centipedes, the giant scorpion can only target those little insects, after all, no matter how small the ants are, they are still meat!
Taryn has neither kindness nor the ability to help these people. He sent a Sandguard to search for supplies sunk into the sand to see if there was any trace of the Mithril Dagger. If this is the best result, he will save him trouble.
[System Prompt: Detect a powerful life energy source, kill the target, and a large number of life sources can be extracted.] Note: The target is a low-level cursed magic creature.
"A lot of lifeborn!" Tyron's heart moved slightly, a large number of life sources had endless temptation for him!
Just, what are the lower cursed magical creatures? How is there a curse everywhere? Truth be told, Tyron himself was resurrected by some kind of curse, but he himself didn't know exactly how the curse of this world should be defined.
If he was cursed, what was he cursed? Aside from the soul torture that happens every once in a while, nothing seems to be cursed, huh?
Unable to think of a reason, Taryn had no choice but to put the question behind. A lot of fate is tempting, but he is not the kind of person who wants money and death, and he has to continue to observe before deciding.
At this time, Sha Wei, who was searching for materials for sinking sand, had a little gain. At the same time, a violent shock came.
The giant scorpion broke through the ground, and in an instant, it gave those people the ultimate pleasure of going from death to life and from life to death.
"Lot, protect Miss Mihir and get away." The Knight Captain shouted.
In a panic, as soon as Mihir grabbed a baggage, he was picked up by Lott and ran towards the rear.
Thirty knights clasped their Western-style swords in both hands, facing a giant scorpion that was ten stories high! Even Taryn had to admire their courage, but now his attention was not on this contest of disparity.
The burden that the little girl named Mihir had just picked up made him feel strange.
His instincts told him that the Mithril dagger was in that baggage, and that dagger could hurt himself!
The thirty knights were much stronger than he had imagined, and although they had lost three of them in a short period of time, they really held back the giant scorpion.
Tyron is starting to move upwards, and now is the best and probably the only chance to capture the Mithril Dagger!
He emerged from behind the dunes, then draped the Cloak of Shadows over his body, then stood motionless, his form fading.
