Chapter 006: Horror Monster
How can a man who walks on his feet be better than a knight on horseback? Except for a few goblins who lost food and fresh water, the group of goblins was almost completely wiped out.
"How can there be goblins in the desert, aren't they supposed to be extinct a long time ago?" Lott wondered.
No one can say this question well, the Beser Desert has always been ownerless, and no one can say that they fully understand everything about this place. Perhaps the species that have been rumored to be extinct have migrated to the desert?
Moreover, there are so many mysterious legends in this place that the people who were able to cross the Beser Desert all accounted for a great element of luck.
"Mr. Lot, what do you think of the horror weirdos and kobolds that Miss Mihir just said?" The captain of the knights did not answer, but asked.
"I don't know...... You also know that the Beser Desert was never conquered. There can be a lot of bizarre things in the desert, and what we need to do is not satisfy curiosity, but get out of this place quickly. ”
"Well, I understand. I'm just a little worried, even if we cross the desert, will the Emerald Empire accept us? The Captain of the Knight said with some concern.
Lott shrugged his shoulders and said, "On the bright side, my friend. At the very least, we are far from war and plague, and no matter how bad it is, it is better than when we were in the Principality of Snow Eagle. ”
The knight captain nodded, and went back to the camp to direct the busyness.
It was a large ...... with a number of nearly two hundred people Refugee Corps? The Respawn Sardon can also move through the gravel, and can be used as eyes and ears for Tyranid. Based on their conversation, Taryn could roughly tell that they were not caravans, but a team fleeing war and plague. Since he was planning to venture across the Beser Desert to seek refuge in the Emerald Empire, there was nothing wrong with calling him a refugee.
It's just that the Western Continent is so chaotic? It would force these people to venture into the Beser Desert in search of the unpredictable refuge.
For the first time, Taryn desperately wanted to know what time it was, and how long it had been since he died.
He was afraid that too much time would pass, and the person who killed him in the first place, as well as the main messenger behind the scenes, would have died, so who should he vent his resentment to? Revenge is not his only motivation, but it is indeed the force that sustains his actions at this moment.
Of course, Tyranny, who has lived for three lifetimes, naturally understands that his comfort is the most important truth. For the Jade Empire, he can't say how he feels, born in the royal family, there are more than fifty brothers and sisters, and it is strange to have too good feelings.
Let's take a step at a time, the matter of the Jade Empire will be understood later, and it is the key to stabilize a foothold in this desert first.
There is no time limit for the alienation tasks issued by the system, but generally this kind of early task cannot last too long, and the so-called Mithril Dagger Eight Achievements are in the hands of this group of refugees. It's just a team of more than 200 people, and it is indeed too reluctant to rely on him and the two reborn Shawei.
He was slow to move under the sand, but neither was the group of refugees. After all, they are not only people, there are also many supplies to be delivered, and the queue is too long.
On the other hand, Taryn is using the system to control the temporary stronghold.
Due to resource constraints, there is now only one Moon Well being built in addition to the Tree of Life. According to Tyran's idea, the Moon Well, when completed, can provide 10 soul capacity. When the time comes, the Elder Altar will slow down first, and the Tree of Life will make every effort to make elves and accelerate the collection.
There are a lot of giant cacti there, and it would be a waste not to collect the source of life.
In fact, Taryn also thought about building an elder altar first to strengthen his own strength, but considering the characteristics of the moon well to replenish magic and provide population, he still made a choice.
In the desert, a long procession marched under the scorching sun, and Tyron under the sand was constantly thinking about various possibilities, and the first thing to determine was the exact location of the Mithril dagger.
All ideas and plans must be built on this basis, otherwise everything is meaningless, and in the end, if you don't get the Mithril Dagger, you will be busy in vain.
He didn't dare get too close, as he wasn't sure if there were magicians in the group of refugees. Sha Wei was relatively close, almost parallel to the team, and heard a lot of information along the way.
This team is protected by thirty knights, and at the core of it is the kidnapped little girl. Listening to their conversation, the knight captain and the butler are old acquaintances, after the fall of the royal family, the entire Snow Eagle Principality fell into infinite turmoil, and the plague from the northwest also spread to the territory in a few months.
The Order was originally the personal guard of a certain prince, and after the prince died of the plague, they made a deal with the Roo family, where Lot belonged, to take on the task of escorting the team through the Beser Desert.
Taryn lived two lifetimes, almost forty years combined, and had never really seen a war. Although there are problems within the Jade Empire, as the only empire in the Eastern Continent, it is extremely powerful, and there is no war at all.
It was hard for him to imagine how bad that Snow Eagle Principality would be for these nobles to leave their homeland and seek refuge in the Emerald Empire.
Of course, Tyron only needs a general understanding of these conditions, after all, he can't stay in the Beser Desert forever. But now he still puts the task first, and he is still looking forward to what changes will be made to the alienated tree of life.
Time passed little by little, and the day was about to pass, and the group of people stopped and went because of the scorching heat, and the speed was not fast.
Taryn still saw a lot of interesting things that day, such as two servants who were left behind due to heat stroke and left to die in the sun. He could see that this was a deliberate attrition, and they should not have much water.
At dusk, the line slowed down. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is extremely large, and if you are not prepared, you can easily fall ill under such a large temperature difference. People who suffer from heat stroke will be left behind, let alone fall ill.
In the harsh environment, human feelings have become extremely cold, and as far as Taryn observed, none of the group cared about the two who were left behind.
Desert dusk is a true beauty, but not many people know how to appreciate it, because under the beauty, there is absolute cruelty. Nine-year-old Mihir stood on the sand hill and watched the sunset, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful." ”
Behind them, busy knights and servants set up camp. And at the end of the horizon, there was a sky full of yellow sand.
Dust storm? No, that's not right......
"Miss Mihir, please return to the camp...... Oh, God the Father, what have I seen. Lot, who had just stepped onto the dunes, was stunned by what he saw.
The sand and dust in the sky were not the only things that shocked him, the two huge figures that appeared and disappeared in the sand and dust were the real terrifying existences.
At this moment, Taryn had buried himself even deeper, and he had just "seen" something in the dust through his unique perceptual ability. It was a giant centipede and a giant scorpion fighting, and the dust in the sky was not a sandstorm, but the wind and sand rolled up under their fierce struggle.
They were now heading towards the place where the refugees had been encamped, and Lott was scrambled and furious, and crawled back to the camp, telling what he had just seen.
