The expedition repelled the sand thieves, in the previous battle, many people were injured, and there were also two unlucky guys who unfortunately died, the losses of the sand thieves were greater, after the encirclement retreated, leaving a lot of inhuman-shaped corpses, the death was miserable, and the expedition team only paid a dozen alchemy machines.

After the battle, the scene smelled of blood, and the team began to pack up the camp, preparing to leave here to find another place to rest.

It stands to reason that repelling the sand pirates should be a good thing, but Mephis felt that something was not quite right, as if something was missing, and the reason for the destruction of this expedition should be ......

"Ahh

Suddenly there was a scream outside.

Mephis hurriedly leaned half of his body out of the window, and ten meters back, an alchemist was pinched by the waist of the huge pincers sticking out of the sand, and it was useless for him to beat him desperately, and his upper and lower bodies separated in a terrible wail, and the corpse that was broken in two flew out of the distance, blood spilled on the ground along with internal organs and intestines.

"It's a desert scorpion! Everyone watch out for the vibrations under your feet, don't stay in one place! ”

Snod's deep voice made people feel that he didn't look like an alchemist, more like a warrior's war cry, and the rest of them immediately found the backbone, and everyone was on guard, either hiding in the car or climbing on the roof of the car, avoiding the attack of the desert scorpion as much as possible, anyway, the battle line was supported by alchemy machinery.

The sand scorpions hiding underground were clearly not interested in the cold alchemy machinery, and they went straight to the place where the living stood, especially where the wounded gathered, where the charming smell of blood and fresh flesh reeked. A sand scorpion jumped out of the ground when it approached the car, and the next second, the giant scorpion was nailed to the ground by the spear of the armored cavalry, and then these armored cavalry were knocked to the ground by the later giant scorpion, and the armored cavalry quickly adjusted their posture and stood up again, fighting with the sand scorpion.

The iron wolf can directly pounce on these monsters, using its claws to penetrate the back of the giant scorpion, and the war wolf that killed the giant scorpion obviously attracted the attention of the giant scorpion, and then the sand under the wolf's feet suddenly sank, and the steel body of the war wolf completely sank into the desert and disappeared in the eyes of everyone.

"It's a sandworm! And sandworms! ”

Compared with the sand thieves, it is very tricky for these monsters to appear directly in the camp, directly threatening the lives of the alchemists, and soon causing chaos to divide the battlefield, appearing anywhere, cutting off the connection between vehicles, and the alchemy machinery has good combat effectiveness, but it is obviously inferior to these monsters in terms of numbers.

Mephiss was no exception here, six giant scorpions appeared next to the vehicle he was in, and despite the hard work of the armored cavalry, there were still fish that slipped through the net and crashed into the body, causing the protective stance to flash a bright light, and the automatically activated magic spark burned the rushing giant scorpion to ashes, and then a new desert scorpion rushed up, going forward and one after another, constantly consuming the magic power of the protective stance.

Boom!

The sheer force caused Mephis to almost fall, crashing into the carriage, and the pain of the injury that involved her chest was a heart-wrenching pang.

Luo Luo stood in front of the car, controlling the armored cavalry around him to hold the battle line, obviously he was already powerless, under the attack of the monsters, several armored cavalry were scarred, and could only barely raise the tower shield to block the giant scorpion on the periphery.

A new giant scorpion sprang out from under the sand behind him, and the huge pincers in the depths pierced Luo Luo's neck, and Snood, who saw this scene, opened his eyes wide, and had the intention to save his students, but he couldn't get rid of the attack of the giant scorpion around him, so he could only give a warning.

"Lolo, watch your back!"

"Again? I...... Belch! ”

Luo Luo looked back, the danger had come to him, but his body couldn't react. It takes a lot of energy to control the alchemy machinery, and the simple understanding is to be multitasking, how much alchemy machinery Luo controls is equivalent to dividing the spirit into several parts, and the body becomes sluggish, and he can't avoid the sneak attack of the scorpion behind him.

At this moment, a thick book flew from the side, which smashed right on the scorpion's head, causing a destructive power no less than the explosion of flames, half of the scorpion's body was blasted out, and the wound was scorched black.

"I was saved, I was saved......"

Luo Luo breathed a sigh of relief, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he sat down on the ground tremblingly, a little unclear about the situation, what the hell was it just now, it was a book flying in the distance that saved his life? The next moment, Mephis appeared in front of him......

"Get up, don't be stunned."

“…… Thank you. ”

"You're welcome."

Mephis stretched out his hand to pull Lolo, but his gaze had already drifted to the surrounding desert scorpions, and then, a beautiful red book followed Mephis's footsteps towards the surrounding desert scorpions.

That's a man-eating monster, are you going to smash it with a dictionary crit?

Luo Luo had never heard of a scholar who stoned monsters with a book, and he was fortunate enough to see it today, and it almost shattered his three views. Fortunately, Mephis didn't continue to beat his worldview, Luo Luo watched Mephis raise his hand and open the red book, and four circular magic arrays unfolded behind him, which were full of gorgeous fire runes, and the center gathered crimson scorching flames, aimed at the surrounding desert scorpions to release flame shots, jets formed by pure magic, and the rushing flames penetrated the shells of the desert scorpions like magma, and the continuous explosions foreshadowed their fate.

The air wave set off a circle of sand and dust and spread in all directions, Luo Luo couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, and when the dust cleared, what was in front of Luo Luo was the corpses of the scorpions, even if there were two or three small fish, they were also seriously injured, and they were easily killed by the armored cavalry.

"This ......"

Not only was Luo Luo stunned by the scene in front of him, but Snod in the distance was also frightened by this special spell casting method, he saw more than the others, such an attack method was something they had never seen before, and even rarely heard of it, only seen similar descriptions in some ancient literature.

Snod knew how difficult it was to compress pure magic, but Mephis had managed to do it with just one magic book, was it his personal strength, or the mystery of the magic book itself? Also, to be able to carry this level of magic guide book with him, Mephis must be a noble person, in that case, why didn't he see his entourage? Suddenly appeared in the desert and was seriously injured, and the secret had to make people think about it.

Seeing that the siege was lifted here, Snood's side was also relieved, no matter how many doubts there were, I had to press it down, now was not the time to think about other things.

The uncle began to command his subordinates to attack the underground sandworms, using special alchemy machinery, carrying bombs to quickly dig underground for blasting, trying to destroy the sandworms, but the sandworms were not stupid, after sensing the unusual vibration on the ground, they avoided the bombs that sneaked into the ground, and turned their heads to attack the alchemy machinery on the periphery.

The people on the ground didn't know what was going on, they just thought they were unlucky and didn't get the sand worm right.

"Mr. Mephis, what now?"

"We have to deal with the sandworms first, otherwise no one will be able to get out."

Luo Luo looked into the distance with a sad face, and dozens of desert scorpions crawled out of the ground, stimulated by the smell of blood from the sand thieves, and sensed the sorrow of the death of their kind, these monsters in the desert were like sharks in the sea, gathering along the smell of blood, and the number was increasing.

The alchemists gradually couldn't support it, and some people fell into a panic and couldn't control themselves.

"Get in the car, get in the car, get out of here!"

"No, there are too many scorpions in the way."

"Make a way with a bomb."

Not far away, some alchemists began to use bombs to clear the scorpions that stood in their way, and the bombs were so powerful that they lived up to expectations and succeeded in creating a no-man's land.

Mephis was shocked to see this.

"Stop, wait, you can't go yet!"

Before the words fell, the alchemist whipped the pack beast forward, the car drove a few meters and then suddenly shook violently and tilted to the left, the sand under the car seemed to be flowing, devouring the whole vehicle at a very fast speed, several people with fast reactions tried to jump out of the car to escape, they just landed, they were swallowed by the huge sandworm that suddenly drilled out of the ground, this scene almost frightened everyone, so that several alchemists who wanted to rescue retreated back to their original positions.

Mephis gritted his teeth secretly, his eyes were full of solemnity, now he lacks the means to attack the underground, the alchemists have prepared a limited number of ground-penetrating bombs, and the sandworms hiding deep underground will dodge when they hear those vibrations, and they have plenty of time to bypass the bombs, but this does not mean that they are helpless, in the game era, the sandworm is indeed a difficult newcomer killer, but for old players, the attack rules of the sandworm are already familiar with it, even if they only use melee attacks, they can be killed.

Here's the game? Or is it reality? Mephis wasn't sure if the current sandworm could still be dealt with with by means in the game, but if he continued to do nothing, he would also become the burial companion of this unlucky expedition, and he could only fight for one shot!

Mephis, covering the wound on her chest, took a step and ran, running off into the distance as if she were about to run away. This scene was seen by the alchemists, and they stomped their feet angrily, and many people secretly hated this ungrateful young man and ran away at a critical moment, and some people sneered, ready to see Mephis swallowed by a sandworm.

The sandworm leisurely attacks the target of escape during hunting, the target is a large object, the sandworm will drag the target into the ground, but if it is a small creature, the sandworm will take the initiative to appear and swallow it, it will swallow the nearby gravel when it appears, judging the location of the sandworm by the signs of the sand and soil subsidence around guò, and a few seconds before the sandworm attack, the player can feel a noticeable vibration under his feet.

Mephis ran a hundred meters, and there was a familiar vibration under his feet, and he developed the instinct to dodge during the game, dragging his injured body and rolling on the ground violently, at the same time, huge worms drilled out of the sand, full of fangs, and opened and closed his mouth, rolling a large amount of stones and gravel, making a tooth-aching chewing sound, which made people feel a biting chill.

However, Mephis, as the main target, had already dodged the deadly surprise attack, and the magic book floating in the air was opened, and the quadruple ring magic array was almost overlapped, and the crimson gathered in the center was like a volcanic eruption, and the flame stream engulfed the entire sandworm, and when the flames dissipated, only half of the charred black corpse was still standing on the ground.

"Oh my God...... How did he predict the location of the sandworm, and was he lucky? ”

The alchemists, who were dissatisfied before, were speechless at this time, and if they were themselves, they might have been swallowed by sandworms. Seeing this, Snod reacted immediately, understood Mephis's intentions, and heard the words of his subordinates, a burst of anger rose in his heart, and he reprimanded his subordinates loudly.

"Shut up! Go and pick him up with two people! Other cars ready to get out of this hellish place! Hurry up and !! Take action!! ”

Mephis closed one eye in pain, hunched his back, blood oozing from under the bandage, and a piercing sting pain from the wound, but the result was good, the most threatening sandworm was eliminated, and the expedition could leave calmly.

More than a dozen desert scorpions appeared around, Mephis dragged his body and slowly moved in the direction of the expedition, while manipulating the magic book to clear the obstacles around him, the people of the expedition group were also righteous enough, three steel wolves rushed to tear the giant scorpions that stood in the way along the way, one of them came to Mephis and lay down, and the other two guards.

Mephis sat on the Wolf Warrior, this thing was actually very uncomfortable, but it was better than walking over by himself, Mephis returned to the expedition, Lolo hurriedly picked him up in the car, and lay in the carriage with many wounded for treatment, but Mephis refused, he asked for a bottle of potion, divided into two halves, and applied externally and internally.

Without the threat of sandworms, the pack beasts pulled the cart and quickly left this dangerous area, but Snod still refused to give up his original purpose and continued to move towards his destination.

"Thanks to you for destroying the sandworms, otherwise we would be in danger."

Snood's mood was a little heavy at this time, after the previous battle, the expedition team was almost reduced by one-third, and a large amount of alchemy machinery was lost, but fortunately, the baggage carts were intact.

Mephis shook his head, he leaned back in the carriage, looked at Snod, and said in a heavy tone.

"You saved my life, and I should help you, but there are still many dangers in the depths of this desert, with all due respect, with all due respect, with the current team, it is impossible to continue to go deeper, because there are more monsters wandering in the desert ahead, and it is very likely that they will step into some lair territory."

“…… We have our mandate. ”

Snood also seemed shaken at this time, and he was resigned, and he also had a wonderful idea, wanting to hear the advice of the young scholar in front of him, maybe there would be some unexpected gains, and sure enough, Mephis's next words made him lift his spirits.

"Captain Snod, I wonder how much you know about this desert?"

Mephis's expression at this time was extremely solemn, no matter what mission this expedition had, it didn't matter, human life was only once.
