Chapter IX Attrition

Passing through the Mogro Pass, there is an endless desert of yellow sand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn this sea of sand that can not be seen at a glance, there was once an ancient and powerful empire that stood out. That powerful empire that flourished at one time has been buried under these yellow sands. The glory of the past has fallen into dust.

"Well, here we are, we're no longer safe. All brace yourself and be careful of any possible attacks. It was a samurai in the ranks who spoke. Lin Zhao could feel that this warrior's rune energy aura was also one of the best in this group of people. He is the temporary leader of this escort.

Of course, in horizontal comparison, it is difficult to compare a samurai with a mage. Lin Zhao could also feel that the magicians hired by Cassiopeia were all extremely powerful characters. To deal with these people, if it was not for the sudden attack of the "magic killer", Lin Zhao would almost be able to resist. However, the mages obviously didn't care about the position of the leader of the guard, so they had to take the position of this samurai.

"I gathered some intelligence before I came. In the Shurima Desert, there are not only rogues, bandits, adventurers, and mercenaries, but also countless monsters. "Moreover, in such a large and empty place, there are not many people in charge of managing and maintaining the stability of the space, who knows if there will be any void creatures that will suddenly fall here." ”

Of course, the samurai leader was not the only one who had studied the information of the Shurima Desert. The people who can be selected and hired by Cassiopeia to join the escort team will not be idle people. Before setting out, these people had already done some research and knowledge about the Shurima Desert. So in fact, there is no need for the samurai leader to remind them, everyone knows what to do.

"Thank you." Cassiopeia said at the right time. She ordered a parchment roll to be taken out of the horse's bag, and when it was opened, it was a map. After locking the direction, she pointed it out, and the group began to move on.

With the samurai leader reminding him like this, Lin Zhao knew that the next journey was full of danger. But Lin Zhao never expected that the danger would come so quickly.

The Shurima Desert is also shockingly large. The group exchanged their horses for camels, and walked in the desert for a day and a night in the desert, and still did not reach their destination. With professional magicians in place, there will be no shortage of water along the way, even in the desert. Among those magicians, there was a magician who was a magician related to water magic. When the magician made drinking water and other water, he only needed to use the principles of magic he was proficient in to condense all the moisture in the air around him.

And it came to pass that day, when the night came, that they encamped in the desert. The moon is hidden in the sky, and the cold wind in the sky is biting. Cassiopeia sat on the side, and Lin Zhao also watched dryly, watching the warriors fix the tent and compact it to prevent it from being blown up by the wind in the soft sand. Cassiopeia is an aristocratic employer and doesn't need to get started, while Lin Zhao doesn't know anything about this kind of work. He had been in a mess before, and he was thrown aside to watch.

Just as all the tents were set up, a beast's roar suddenly came from not far away. The beast's roar was muffled and loud, and as the sound came, the entire sand beneath his feet seemed to shake away from the sound. The sea of sand flows, the hills become lower and the low-lying rises. The two tents collapsed because they happened to be in the place where the terrain had changed. One tent was even crushed in the sand.

Everyone was shocked. Lin Zhao looked in the direction of the beast's roar, just from the movements caused by a loud roar, the beast in the sand must be extremely powerful, but Lin Zhao couldn't feel the slightest fluctuation of rune energy in that direction.

…… What kind of monster is that?

A magician floated up to the sky and looked in that direction. He just glanced at it, and suddenly he lowered his head in panic and shouted, "Run! ”

But as soon as the magician had finished speaking, before he could even fall to the ground, a milky white banner flew over and covered the magician's body.

"Ahh

The magician let out a hoarse cry and fell from the sky.

A magician and a few samurai hurried over to look. Lin Zhao also walked over and found that the place where the white object was stained on the magician's body had festered to the point that it was not visible, and the bones were exposed.

The white object, still clinging to the magician's body, turned into several puddles.

"Don't touch him." A magician reminded. He saw that there was something wrong with those white objects, and he was afraid that he would follow suit.

In this short moment, the magician was already dying, and it became difficult to even move.

"Be careful!" A samurai behind him suddenly reminded. The sand shook again. Lin Zhao suddenly felt an incomparably terrifying sense of danger coming over him. He drew his short sword, but he didn't even have the heart to turn around and attack, a "shadow" slightly towards Cassiopeia, took Cassiopeia in his arms, and used the "shadow" again, flashing far away.

Under the oath to the Star Casting Dragon King Thor, Lin Zhao remembered very well that for him now, it was his main duty to follow Cassiopeia and protect Cassiopeia's safety.

When Lin Zhao landed safely with Cassiopeia in his arms, he looked back, only to find that in this moment, many warriors had fallen. The samurai and magician who were beside the magician before had retreated to the side.

Next to the magician, who had been corroded by a white object and festered all over, a huge purple monster emerged from beneath the sand. The monster was covered in jagged things, with exposed teeth and white objects. The two lower teeth were especially long, making it even more hideous.

The monster noticed these people here, and turned around with a tail swing, his teeth pointing at Lin Zhao and the others. It seemed to have no eyes, and a hoarse and weird sound came from its throat, but Lin Zhao and the others could feel that this monster was staring at them.

But the monster seems to have other things going on now, too lazy to pay attention to these people. It grabbed the magician who fell to the ground in one bite, and in two bites of the magician's body, the white object on the magician's body was attached to the magician's flesh, and with a flick of its tail, it burrowed into the hole.

The sand swelled, and the monster went away, leaving a hole in the sand. The crater was disturbed by the strange energy of the monster's body, glowing purple.

“…… Thunder...... Kesai!? Lin Zhao recognized the appearance of this monster and couldn't help but murmur softly. (To be continued.) )
