Chapter 103: The Sound of the Beast in the Thunder
"......" Wenlong opened his pocket as if relieved, took out two bottles of crystal clear liquid from it, and then handed one of them to Catherine.
"Thank you, Mr. Cat......"
These two bottles of crystal clear liquid are what are called cold drinks, and there is a special ice crystal in them that can constantly release cold qi towards the surroundings, so that even in this desert, Wenlong can see that the bottle of cold drink is surrounded by a thin layer of white mist.
"So...... I'm going to drink...... Meow. ”
As he spoke, Wen Long and Catherine opened the lid of the cold drink at the same time, and then drank the crystal clear liquid in one go. In an instant, the cold air flowed down the esophagus into the stomach, and then slowly spread, circulating with the blood until it spread all over the body.
"Wow...... It's so comfortable...... There's nothing more comfortable than sipping a cold drink on this hot day, meow. Wen Long shivered with excitement, and then said.
Catherine's condition is also significantly better, her breathing that was originally a little rapid has stabilized, and the skin that has been moistened with sweat has also been much refreshed after being wiped with a towel, and there is no more sweat oozing out for the time being.
After Wen Long and Catherine drank the cold drink, the other people in the caravan took out the cold drink in their own package one after another, and then drank it one by one, just like Wen Long, these people all showed quite comfortable expressions immediately after drinking the cold drink.
Of course, there is a reason why the group in the caravan chose this time period to drink cold drinks.
Generally speaking, the cooling effect of a cold drink lasts for about four hours, and although the sun usually reaches the middle of the sky at 12 noon, the temperature peaks at around 2 p.m. during the day. Therefore, it is centered on two in the afternoon and extends for two hours, that is to say, the period from 12 noon to 4 pm is the hottest time of the day in the entire Thundering Sand Sea.
So considering that cold drinks are not cheap in themselves, most people will choose to drink cold drinks at 12 o'clock in the afternoon to help themselves get through the hottest part of the day.
So the caravan moved on, and as the caravan progressed deeper, people began to hear a loud sound like thunder.
"Boom...... Rumble......"
Such a sound kept ringing, and it was clear that the sky was still clear, and not even a trace of clouds could be seen, but the thunder never stopped.
"Mr. Cat...... What is this sound? Because the thunder was loud and barely interrupted, Catherine asked almost at the top of her voice.
"There's nothing to fuss about, it's just the wind, meow." Wen Long also shouted loudly.
"Huh? Can the wind be so loud? ”
"The wind on the desert is originally strong, but just a simple wind will not have such a loud sound, this sound seems to be related to the special sand grains here, and it is also a major feature here, so it is called the thundering sand sea, meow."
"Oh, that's what happened." Catherine nodded, and then said, "Mr. Cat, you know so much that you even know about such things. ”
"Hmph, how can Uncle Ben be compared to you ordinary people......"
Halfway through his words, Wen Long seemed to sense something, suddenly stopped, and made a stop gesture at the same time. Seeing this gesture, everyone, including Uncle Hesson, stopped, and then the herbivorous dragon team that followed Uncle Hesson also stopped advancing.
This is the contact method that has been set before the caravan enters the Thundering Sand Sea, so that Wenlong and Catherine and Uncle Hexon can walk in front of the team together, and use gestures to contact them once they encounter problems, so that the team can get the information at the first time, and at the same time, it can also ensure that the whole team can act according to the instructions at the first time.
"What the hell is going on?" Seeing that Wen Long actually asked the team to stop, Uncle Hessen, who was walking with Wen Long, asked.
"Be quiet, this thunder is mixed with the cries of wild beasts, meow ......"
"There are beasts?" Uncle Hexon's eyes widened, it wasn't that Uncle Hexon didn't believe Wen Long's words, but he was a little surprised that Wen Long was able to distinguish the subtle beast cries in the distance from that huge noise.
"Okay, it should be coming soon, and there is more than one, meow a mi, hurry! Fence it off! Fast! ”
As soon as Wen Long said this, Uncle Hesson immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and he shouted: "Hurry up and form a circle to defend yourself!" He raised his hands in the air in a circle so that the people at the end of the line could also notice his command.
Soon, the caravan marching in a long snake formation began to move, the front and end of the line began to turn in one direction, and then spliced together, and the original long snake became a circle with end to end.
Among them, the sturdy herbivorous dragons are located on the periphery of the circle like a city wall, and the humans enter the inside of the circle, some of them draw their short knives in their hands, and some of them are even equipped with easy-to-use bows and crossbows, but Wen Long knew at a glance that these weapons are just ordinary weapons, not special weapons for hunting, at most they can only be used to deal with ordinary bandits. So if you want to use such a weapon to hunt monsters, it's basically impossible, and if you're lucky, it's at most a certain deterrent.
And this circular formation is also a regular defensive formation that most caravans will choose when they encounter danger. After all, although the heavy herbivorous dragon has a strong weight-bearing ability, its movement speed is relatively slow, and it is easy to be broken by each enemy if it does not pose for defensive shaping.
Of course, unlike most of the people who retreated into the circular defense, Wen Long and Catherine stood outside the circle, and the two of them drew their weapons and assumed a posture ready to meet the enemy.
It didn't take long for some monsters to be seen behind the sand dunes in the distance, these monsters had obvious characteristics of the bird dragon species, but they did not have wings like the big monster birds, but had limbs, of which the hind limbs were much more developed than the forelimbs, and they mainly relied on the strength of the hind limbs when moving, and they were also covered with yellow-brown scales, and their eyes were cunning and sinister.
Wen Long recognized their identities at a glance.
"It's actually Huang Sulong...... And there are quite a few of them...... Sure enough, it's a little troublesome, meow. ”
It stands to reason that Huang Sulong is not a powerful monster, but Wen Long knows that since he has encountered a group of Huang Sulong in the desert, there will inevitably be a Huang Sulong King in such a group of Huang Sulong Dragons. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a larger and more sinister looking Yellow Speed Dragon King to appear in the Yellow Speed Dragon Group.
