Chapter 19: The Hunt and the Sandworm Feast
Behind Machilov, two black-armored men flying in the air were approaching quickly, looking like they were in hot pursuit! A luminous beam of bullets came from the muzzle of the gun on their backs, whistling towards the target in front, and Machilov urgently evaded, and the light-speed bullet passed by, blasting one deep crater after another in front!
The blast of the cannonball almost toppled Marchilov's airship! Looking at the costumes of the two people behind him, it is clear that they are two of the five people who traded with Machilov before!
Is it a murderous overkill?
As Machilov stabilized the airship, he distracted himself from the monitor to see where the nearest Khan Empire troops were and the best terrain to dodge! The two guys in the back are like ass worms, and they can't get rid of them!
The house leak happened to rain overnight! The energy display suddenly started flashing red! After a quick glance at the remaining energy, Machilov was anxious to curse! The cursing language of the Zhiluosa people may be different from that of the earthlings!
The display of the system is a piece of language, and Machilov has no time to look at it, which means that there is danger ahead!
Worm! A giant worm that lives in the sand, it lurks in the desert and attacks anything that can be eaten in its path! There may also be inedible objects, as long as all moving objects within the attack range are targeted by sandworms!
At this moment, Machilov has crossed the red line and has completely entered the active area of the sandworm! Now I can't manage so many messy things, and I will die without a place to bury if I take a slow step!
For yourself, the more dangerous the place now, the safer it is! If you enter a place where sandworms are active, you may still have a chance to live! Sandworm masters! Take the two guys in the back! As long as you can take them, I will sacrifice them every year after that!"
Obviously, whether it was the pursuers behind him or Huo Zhe who rushed in, they all frowned when they saw Machilov enter the active area of the sandworms!
"Four, Five, stop the pursuit, our prey is coming in this direction, stop the pursuit!"
The two heel bugs suddenly received an order from the communicator, stopped their bodies in the air, landed on a tall rock, activated their equipment, and their bodies began to fade, and finally disappeared on the rock!
Machilov saw that the radar showed that the pursuers behind him disappeared! I couldn't believe it, I slowed down a little and looked back, and after confirming it, although I didn't understand it, I still breathed a big sigh of relief in my heart, and as soon as my spirit relaxed, the severe pain hit immediately! Loose hands! The airship is unstable and overturns directly in the air at high speed!
Subconsciously pressed the other side of the waist! A cloud of blue goo appeared instantly, swelled and enveloped Machilov, and then rolled forward a hundred and ten meters away before hitting a stone and stopping, the blue goo slowly dissipated into the air, and Machilov also fell unconscious.
A sharp pain came, and Machilov, who had passed out, instantly opened his eyes! There were a few sharp gasps without a mouthful.
Then his senses began to return, and the tingling and painful sensation all over his body told him that it was not from sleep, and the irrepressible feeling made Machilov snort softly, grasping the ground next to him with one hand, and slamming the ground with a fist with the other, before relieving himself for a while.
Consciousness gradually recovered from the drowsiness, slowly looked around, a figure was bowing his head to the side and didn't know what he was doing, as the picture in his eyes gradually became clear from the blur, Huo Zhe's black hair, black eyes and yellow skin appeared in front of Machilov.
Ha, haha! Ahem, ahem!
Lying on the ground, he laughed softly, but he didn't take a breath, and he almost choked on his own spit.
Huo Zhe looked at Machilov, who was lying on the ground and looked like he was going to die, and at this moment he really opened his eyes, and he looked at himself laughing like no one else!
Isn't this a brain crash and a stupid fall! But I still thought in my heart, you finally woke up, if you don't wake up, I'm going to dig a pit and bury you! The two first-aid fluids went down, and the penetrating hole in his stomach showed a little sign of improvement, at least not in a transparent state before and after.
I really don't know what race you are, your vitality is so strong, if it were you, you would have died a long time ago!
Fortunately, I have the first aid solution you gave me, otherwise this time it would be who is coming, and your life will have to be explained here.
At this moment, the two of them are hiding on the edge of a pit under a rock, the pit is not very big, it is four or five meters deep, this kind of pit is called a sand worm pit by their scavengers, although it is not made by sand worms, but it does appear in the place where sand worms are infested, there is no other place, this kind of place, unless it is absolutely necessary, generally will not come.
But then again, this sandworm crater, in the wild of Crimson Star, is considered a safe existence! There are sandworms lurking in the bunkers all around, and other creatures rarely come close to this range! Moreover, sandworms are lurking predatory creatures and rarely run back and forth, so this sandworm pit can be said to be a refuge guarded by a circle of sandworms.
The area of this sandworm activity is generally not visited by many people, except for the annual sacrificial festival! It was a feast for the damned upper class aristocrats to kill for fun! They will catch slaves and sacrifice these sandworms, to put it bluntly, they enjoy the process of sandworms devouring life! A pleasure for perversion!
Looking at the improved Machilov, Huo Zhe's heart slowly relaxed, and you were lucky to be able to send me a location distress signal. When I saw such a silent Machilov when I came, I almost thought that this guy had already confessed, but after checking it, I found that I still had a breath.
In fact, Machilov used a military distress signal, not only Hozher could receive it, but the military of the Khan Empire could also receive it, but after learning that no soldiers had been sent to this area, the command room of the Khan Empire's army judged this signal to be a false inducement signal for the rebels to confuse the public, after all, this is a sandworm area!
Except for sending an old reconnaissance droid to send in, he didn't pay much attention to it, and the old reconnaissance robot was easily killed by the group of black-armored men who were chasing and killing Machilov on the way.
The self-proclaimed smart command explorer thought that it was attacked by sandworms, and the reconnaissance robot would lose contact, and it was a front-line operation, and there was a lot of information like a cow's hair, so he didn't pay too much attention to it!
The strange sensation produced by the recovery of the muscle tissue of the Machilov ninja, gritting his teeth, closing his eyes, lying on the ground, and making a humming sound from time to time, he knew very well the efficacy of this first aid solution! But it also takes time!
"Someone's coming!"
Huo Zhe suddenly looked at the huge spaceship floating in the same place, and the huge figure could be seen dozens of miles away! If it weren't for the fact that my vision was blocked by some low mountains, I wouldn't have found out when I got to my side!
It's too late to run! He took one of Marchlov's arms and dragged him into a deeper cave in the rock! And soon drove his shuttle to the cave and parked it.
The traces of Machilov's overturn were quickly detected by the ship's scanning system, and it was finally determined that he was unlucky enough to be attacked by sandworms! The Life Detector is basically useless in this place, and the sandworms lurk under the sand and gravel, and they are densely packed!
The spaceship is a luxurious version of the 1009 Fleet specially prepared for the beloved Four Highnesses, removing the excess weapons and equipment and adding a lot of extravagant decorations!
Although this will weaken the protection of His Highness, the entire Crimson Star is watched by the two fleets around the clock, and an infantry mecha regiment surrounds His Highness, under this layer of protection, unless the other party will be invisible, do not want to cause even the slightest damage to the Four Highnesses.
Now the Crimson Star is already under the control of the Khan Empire's army, except for the extremely distant places, there will be some sporadic battles, where there are enemies on this planet, all under the control of their own side!
The ship slowly moored over the crater where Hochul and Machilov were hiding, and the fierce jet of air blew a puff of yellow sand! It was then cleaned up by a wave-shaped weapon! The hatch slowly opened, a soldier stood at the hatch and took out a round ball and pressed it a few times before throwing it into the desert below, turning around and returning to the queue, two rows of thirty guards lined up neatly at the hatch, the commander of the 1009 fleet and several obese foreign nobles walked out slowly with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in their arms, the boy was none other than the fourth highness Hannibal!
The desert began to shake slowly, and then the shaking intensified, as if there was some kind of catalyst, and finally the shaking turned into a boil! Several thick strips of objects writhing in the tumbling sand, the sandworms, Hochul's childhood nightmare! A nightmare for many scavengers, too! And now at a distance of more than ten meters, dozens or even hundreds of sandworms of different sizes are tumbling and jumping.
Huo Zhe seemed to understand something, this was a killing feast! It's like the annual sacrifice day in the mouth of the scavengers!
On the ship, more than thirty hapless guys were pushed out, and those who had heard of the killing feast had collapsed on the deck in fright, because they had noticed their surroundings. However, as soon as the rest of them looked down and saw the tumbling swarm, they all desperately wanted to retreat back to the prison where they were imprisoned, as if there was a paradise to save them, but unfortunately, except for the closed steel gates, it was to intercept their electric baton blows.
Seven or eight fainted people were dragged to the edge of the deck by the guards, and one of the guards tripped over something under his feet, and with a stroke of his hand, a fainted unlucky ghost fell straight into the swarm below, and was torn to pieces by the swarm before he could even scream, and even a drop of blood would be licked greedily by small sandworms.
Hojo couldn't see what the people on the ship were talking or laughing about, only to see the captives being thrown off the ship one by one, and then the swarm of sandworms became even more frantic due to the stimulation of food and blood. Machilov's injury at the moment didn't know how much healed, and at the moment he was lying on the side and watching intently.
