Chapter 214: The Hidden Hand in the Yellow Sand
The entire exile is like a small village, covering an area of only a dozen acres, and from the periphery it is almost the size of a football field.
The Exile is surrounded by a desert covered in yellow sand, and it is clear that it is still a barren desert.
Su You walked out of the exile in a daze, but his entire consciousness was still in the previous scene. How could the legendary Exile be like this? How can it be different from what you imagined?
Looking at the series of passively accepted tasks in the taskbar, Su You shook his head and smiled bitterly. It's just that in the face of absolute strength, Su You doesn't have any ability to resist and refuse at all.
Originally, I wanted to learn something useful from those guys who seemed to be criminals, but unfortunately it turned out to make Su You more confused and trap himself. If you want to find out the specific situation here, it seems that you can only complete the task assigned by the wine elder as soon as possible, and maybe you can get some useful information from the defenders of this exile land at that time.
According to the quest prompt, after leaving the place of exile, you can reach the gathering place of the sand monkeys by walking a short distance south, but what makes Su You confused is that he has walked a long distance and carefully checked all around, but he does not see any creatures at all, let alone the sand monkeys.
There may be many mistakes in the game, but the system's quest hints will never make any mistakes.
"Could it be that there is something strange here?"
Su You looked at everything around him in confusion.
It may be due to the special area of the Exiled Lands, there is no such thing as day and night, the whole sky is like hell, it is always the same color, but the sky of hell is blood-colored, and the sky of the Exiled Land is always gray.
Previously, due to the death coma, Su You couldn't determine the specific time now, and if he wanted to leave the game, he sounded the same ruthless prompt sound of the system as the previous times: the player is currently in a special region and cannot quit the game for the time being.
The gray sky and the constantly rising wind and sand make the whole view not as clear and wide as it was at first, and the distant exile only left a vague shadow of the building in sight.
Su You didn't dare to go too far, in case once he got out of the field of vision of the Exiled Land, he might not be able to find his way back in this desert. Even if you have a map in hand, for some reason, the recorded map does not retain any information about the land.
But to complete the mission, Su You can only explore the location of the sand monkeys.
For the information of sand monkeys, Su You has heard of it for the first time, and he has never heard or seen it on the official website or in the mouths of players before. What exactly it looks like Su You can only be understood literally. As for the existence of monkeys in the desert, Su You couldn't have imagined it. Sure enough, anything can exist in the game.
After searching around the entire Exile Place, still finding nothing, Su You returned to the exit not far away, pondering and pondering what the hell was going on?
Squinting at the scene in the yellow sand, Su You's eyes suddenly stopped, and in the wind and sand in front of him, a vague figure appeared in the field of vision.
Suddenly seeing a figure, Su You was shocked and then overjoyed, he probably knew from the mouth of that group of criminals that he was not the only player in this place of exile, could it be that he met it here?
After leaving the wine shop, Su You searched in the Exiled Land, but unfortunately he didn't see the player, so he must have been hunting or offline. I didn't expect to meet it here.
"Hey, buddy."
Su You shouted over there, and quickly rushed towards that side.
The figure in the yellow sand didn't respond, and after seeing Su You approaching, the figure suddenly turned around and quickly left towards the distance filled with yellow sand, and the speed was so fast that only a small gray dot was left in the blink of an eye.
Su You's feet hurriedly accelerated, wasting time in vain and finally meeting someone who could talk, but he couldn't just let it go so easily.
"Dude, wait, I have a question I want to ask."
Su You shouted, but the figure didn't seem to hear Su You's voice at all, and there was not even a half-minute pause under his feet, but the speed was getting faster and faster.
Su You turned around and looked at the outline of the exile behind him, which had faded away, but his heart began to wonder.
His shout is not small, it is impossible for the other party not to hear it, but he has never stopped at all, looking at the posture of moving forward, it seems that he wants to lead himself somewhere?
In this kind of unknown place, Su You can't guarantee that everything will go as he wishes, and it is not clear whether the other party is friend or foe. If you fall into something so stupidly and follow it, or you can't even find your way out of the exiled land, then it's really bad luck.
It's just that he finally met someone who could talk, and Su You was unwilling to let go of the opportunity in vain.
Thinking of the death punishment prompted by the system before, Su You made a decision in his heart instantly.
"I've died once anyway, so it's a big deal to take this life."
People are really strange sometimes, when they have never died, they don't want to worry about their lives at all, but once they have died once or twice, the punishment and death of the system are not so important.
Su You picked up speed again and quickly chased towards the figure.
In the yellow sand, he could only see a little blur of the other party's figure, Su You had already advanced at full speed, but he still did not close the distance with the other party, which made Su You shocked in his heart, although his speed could not be said to be the top few in the Dragon Continent, but relying on the skill effect of the hunter's hidden camp profession, he was definitely not a weakling, but this kind of chase did not take advantage of the slightest.
The place of exile behind him was completely invisible, and the gray sky was fortunately not very hot, but the wind and sand that blew up made people feel a chill and the stinging sensation of sand hitting the bare body.
Su You stepped on the soft yellow sand with one foot, but did not step up again.
It was only because the figure in front of the chase suddenly disappeared into the dim sand and dust at that moment, and all of a sudden, Su You lost the trace of the other party.
After looking around, he couldn't see anything wrong, Su You frowned and walked for a distance, coming to the place where the figure disappeared.
It was a sand dune, and there was still endless yellow sand beneath the dune, and there was no place to hide, but the figure of the other party just disappeared.
Su You was puzzled in his heart, and his expression changed uncertainly.
"The other party doesn't want to meet him, but he brought himself to this place, there must be a special purpose." However, looking around, Su You couldn't see any difference.
Same as before, there was still no trace of any monster around here, and there was only the sound of wind and sand blowing and Su You's slow and steady breathing.
Su You subconsciously held the Soul Devouring Blade in his hand, and the weapon in his hand made people feel relatively safe in his heart.
Just as Su You was hesitating and thinking about whether he needed to return to the Exiled Land to re-inquire about the news, a slight movement suddenly came from the yellow sand beside him.
Su You's gaze suddenly condensed on the yellow sand, the voice did not disappear, and it still sounded slowly and slightly. But there was no trace of monster activity in the yellow sand.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but Su You couldn't remember where he had heard it.
It is somewhat similar to the sound of gerbils moving on the ground, but it is somewhat different. The figure was very thin, and there was a constant rustling sound.
Su You's face changed suddenly, he thought of something in an instant, and ran towards the aftermath without the slightest hesitation.
"Quicksand."
Su You has survived in the real Sahara Desert and has also encountered quicksand. Unlike the quicksand encountered when encountering the Desert Sacred Snake, the quicksand in front of you moves many times faster and more violently.
It's just that the gray environment, the fatigue of the vision, and the previous running caused Su You to look at the yellow sand that is not abnormal, but after reacting, Su You is sure that there is nothing wrong with his judgment.
Quicksand is undoubtedly one of the most terrifying harsh environments in the desert, and once you get into it, it will become very troublesome to get out of it, and you will even be swept directly into the yellow sand.
Su You was not slow to react, but the quicksand suddenly moved violently at this time, and there was no change on the surface, but from the induction under his feet, Su You could feel that the quicksand was constantly washing his calves and soles, and his entire body was constantly sinking.
Su You stopped moving his body, not daring to move again, at this moment his body has sunk into the thigh position, if he pulls his legs and runs wildly, he can only let himself sink deeper and deeper, once the whole person falls into the yellow sand, it will become more difficult to survive.
This is different from the sand pit in the Oasis Land, although it was also caused by the quicksand and the battle between the Desert Holy Snake and the Desert Condor, but in the end, there was an underground river below that saved Su You's life, what would be under the yellow sand in this exiled land, Su You didn't dare to gamble his life.
Su You's body was crawling on the yellow sand, and he slowly shook his feet from the yellow sand to the outside, trying to pull himself out.
It's a pity that the position is at the top of the sand dune, and with the movement of the quicksand, Su You's body also moves towards the bottom of the sand dune.
"Could it be that the figure just now was swallowed up by the yellow sand like this? That's why it suddenly disappeared? ”
Su You thought of a possibility, but soon denied it.
That figure was by no means the first day to arrive in the Land of Exile, and to survive here for so long, it should be extremely familiar with the environment here, and should not make the mistake of being swallowed by quicksand.
There was nothing to borrow around, and it was impossible to escape with a crossbow.
Su You calmed himself down, the quicksand caused it not to trap people in it like a sand pit all at once, so there was a buffer time, and there must be a way to escape.
Just when Su You was thinking anxiously, the calf buried in the yellow sand was suddenly grabbed by a pair of powerful big hands, and before Su You could react in shock, the big hands pulled down violently.
As a result, Su You's body was unguarded and was pulled directly into the yellow sand by this force.
