Chapter 206: Into the Barren Desert
"Rustle."
The subtle sound came into Su You's ears, and the footsteps in the rapid march stopped instantly, and Su You hurriedly glanced around.
There was nothing, there was still no trace of it except the yellow sand, and the two ears listened carefully, and the rustling sound just now was gone.
"What the hell is it? How deep is it hidden? ”
As the footsteps moved, the rustling sound sounded in his ears again, and this time Su You caught the source of the sound, behind him.
However, when I stopped to check, there was still no result.
Su You took a few steps back and stepped on the fine sand with the soles of his feet, but he couldn't see why.
The frowns between the eyebrows become tighter and tighter, and if this stalemate continues, not only will time be wasted, but it will also suffer a crisis if it is not guaranteed. The creatures in this desert are really weird, and the hidden kung fu actually makes Su You have no way to take the other party.
Su You continued to move forward, but his heart was highly vigilant.
The rustling sound accompanied Su You's movement sounded again, and Su You continued to move forward quietly, although he could hear the movement behind him, he still didn't determine the location of the other party.
After walking like this for a long distance, Su You's speed deliberately began to slow down, and when he passed a small piece of sand dunes, he suddenly turned around sharply, and the weapon that had already been converted into a short crossbow went out directly, and shot into the yellow sand that instantly changed on the ground.
The soft sand penetrated directly under the powerful bow and crossbow ****. A creaking sound sounded from the sand, and then the sand quickly tumbled.
Su You hurriedly took a few steps back, holding the dagger tightly and guarding cautiously.
A gerbil as big as a mouse about four or five times the size of a normal mouse sprang out of the yellow sand, and the crossbow arrow was stuck in the neck of the opponent, and the pain made the gerbil constantly roll in the yellow sand.
"It turned out to be a gerbil."
Su You's tense nerves relaxed, gerbils are the most common monsters in the barren desert, living on the microbes of the desert. Stealth and tracking are particularly sensitive and extremely fast, but low-tier gerbils have no attack attributes. Likes to live in shady places. Following Su You should be able to reduce a certain amount of sunlight exposure under the shadow, so the other party is in hot pursuit.
Everything was a false alarm. Su You's dagger easily ended the opponent's life and cut off the limbs and minions of the gerbil, which was a useful refining material in the information Su You had. Mosquitoes are small and meat, and Su You didn't let them go.
After doing all this, Su You no longer hesitated, and the speed under his feet increased again, and he hurried towards the distance.
More than two hours passed, and the prompt sound of the system sounded twice in the middle of the way, indicating that the remaining time was only 9 hours, but nothing was found in the barren desert except for the yellow sand all over the ground, and the exact coordinates of the exiled place still did not have a shadow. According to the map, Su You had already walked hundreds of miles, and was now near the central area of the barren desert. Judging from the map, the approximate location of the Exile is not far away, so try to get there as soon as possible.
A third-order sand scorpion came out of the ground at the moment when Su You paused, and the hard and huge scorpion tongs clamped towards Su You's legs, Su You didn't even have the intention to dodge at all, the dagger cut directly at the scorpion tongs, and the invincible soul devouring blade cut the scorpion tongs directly into two like tofu, and when the sand scorpion was so painful that it broke free from the yellow sand and wanted to attack Su You with the remaining one of the scorpion tongs, Su You's dagger had already taken the lead in ****ing the opponent's scorpion shell, and the left hand that was free also shot with lightning, Grab the scorpion tail that is coming out of the ground.
Sand scorpions are one of the other most common monsters in the barren desert. Compared to gerbils, which do not have much attack power, sand scorpions are much more threatening. But just a third-order sand scorpion was not enough to pose a threat to Su You, as long as he was careful of the other party's scorpion tail, it was not too much of a problem. The sand scorpion's main attack depends on the venom of the scorpion spur on the scorpion's tail. Once hit, it paralyzes the nerves of the person.
Cutting off the two claws of the sand scorpion and the tail of the scorpion, and putting them into the package, Su You hurried quickly again.
The days in the desert are much longer than those in other regions, and this point in time is the time when the sun is the most vicious, the sun is pouring down, coupled with the long journey and fast running, Su You's entire body has become as if he was fished out of the water, the consumption of physical strength is too fast than other regions, and the last bite of clear water is left, Su You must find the oasis or exile as soon as possible. Simple rest and replenishing water became the top priority, otherwise Su Youke would not be able to hold on for too long.
Against the poisonous and scorching sunlight in the sky, Su You ran wildly all the way, leaving shallow footprints on the yellow sand.
And in Su You's rapid movement, he didn't notice that the large area of yellow sand about a mile away behind him was quietly changing
Other areas of the Dragon Continent.
The results of Nightkin were expected by most players, and by a small number of players. However, after the results were released, players stopped paying much attention to the Nightkin event, and everything returned to calm. Players should upgrade the upgrade, and the treasure should be played. Aixin Jueluo became the first player to be promoted to the third order, which seriously stimulated a group of top players who were originally standing at the threshold of the third order. In just one night, third-order players sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Once the third tier is over, the player enters a new stage. Trip to Hell has become an area that players are scrambling to explore.
An area of Hell.
A group of rotting wolves, numbering around twenty, closely pursued a fleeing player in front of them.
"TMD, as for me, I'll just kill a few dozen people and exile them to this inhumane hell. Heaven, earth, I am only second-order strength. How do you let me live in this hell. The fat man ran all the way and complained.
However, the fat man who was fleeing was not as embarrassed as he said, and seemed to run away quickly, but along the way, this guy's eyes remained calm, and at the same time looked around the environment.
"I don't know what happened to Xiao Yezi, that guy's punishment must be much greater than mine. Alas, there's no way to know what's going on outside in this hell, otherwise I'd really want to ask that guy. ”
Just as the fat man muttered, the rotting wolf that was chasing after him had already rushed behind him, and the tallest rotten wolf kicked his legs on the ground, jumped high, and opened his mouth to bite down on the fat man's hips.
Meanwhile.
In a port near the sea.
Two young women boarded a large boat with the crowd. In one of the rest pods, the two of them rested, waiting to sail into the vast expanse of the sea to hunt monsters.
Murong Tear has been a lot quieter recently, Xiao Nizi's face has retreated a lot of greenness and innocence, and she is more steady, while Sima Qing'er on the side is still as beautiful as ever, but there is always a melancholy between her eyebrows.
"The pigeon was returned and could not be sent out at all. I don't know what happened to Big Brother Night? ”
Sima Qing'er smiled and said, "His life is big, he should be fine, according to the result, he was exiled to the place of exile." It was a dangerous place, but it was probably the safest place for him right now. The system must have blocked communication with him, so I'll be in touch with him when the time comes. ”
"Sister Qing'er, you really plan to fight with Big Brother Bean Sprouts."
"Silly Nizi, this is a matter between us, you just need to improve your strength, don't worry about the rest. This time, we have to reach the third order as soon as possible. ”
"Well, I'll be able to help you then." ……
Su You didn't know that he was still remembered to this day, and about half an hour passed all the way, and a green finally appeared in his field of vision.
From a distance, it looks like a small piece, but in the desert, it undoubtedly gives Su You a hope.
It seems that the oasis that is not far away is only the size of a fist under Su You's wild run, as if the oasis is on the edge of the sky, at first Su You thought that he was a long-distance run that caused problems with his vision and spirit, but fortunately, as he got closer and closer, the fist-sized oasis finally gradually enlarged, which made Su You feel relieved.
It's a pity that while seeing hope, the crisis also happened to befall Su You.
The rustling sound sounded one after another in the yellow sand behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that in the large piece of yellow sand a hundred meters away behind him, the shape of waves continued to appear, and under the yellow sand there was like some creature moving rapidly, stirring up the entire yellow sand to change.
The detection technique could not detect anything under the yellow sand at all, and Su You could not tell what it was from it, but from the approaching rustling sound, Su You could still make out that it was the sound made by the gerbil who had followed him before in the yellow sand. Sand scorpions or other creatures rubbing against the yellow sand are not at all this kind of sound.
"How can there be so many gerbils?"
Su You frowned, very puzzled: "Is it also because of this oasis?" ”
Gerbils have no offensive power in the information Su You has, even if they are hundreds or thousands of gerbils, for Su You, there is still no deterrent power. But getting entangled is always a problem. Su You was only shocked by the changes brought about by the gerbil, but he didn't pay attention to the rest.
After just a few faint glances, Su You stopped paying attention, and moved his body sideways to avoid the gerbil behind him from a distance. He had a plan in his heart, the direction of the gerbil was to move towards the oasis, and his target was also the oasis, and in the desert, the oasis was often the most dangerous area, and there were gerbils who wanted to explore the way, Su You was happy to see Qicheng follow them, and also to prevent any danger.
This kind of plan was correct and safe, but what Su You didn't expect was that this short pause and plan would bring about a far more dangerous crisis than moving towards the oasis.
