Chapter 172: Diablo III.17

The cruelty of the environment in the burning hell was somewhat beyond Gu Cheng's expectations, and the highly poisonous yellow sand under his feet was like hot iron particles under the scorching sun, and Gu Cheng's black leather shoes faintly smelled of burning. The burning sensation even penetrated the soles of his shoes and burned the soles of his feet, if it weren't for Gu Cheng's endurance that was not comparable to ordinary people, I was afraid that he couldn't help but take a breath of cool air every time he took a step.

"Whew-"

"Whew-"

When walking slowly on the poisonous sand dunes, the oncoming tornado wind mixed with fine sand smashed on the face and felt a little painful, as if it was being scraped by a knife, if the willed person was weaker, I was afraid that he would cry out in pain.

Fortunately, Gu Cheng and the girl in black are wearing masks, so they only need to cover their foreheads with their hands, otherwise it will be really difficult to move an inch in this poisonous sand dune.

Gu Cheng wiped the sweat on his forehead, licked his somewhat dry lips, and said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, I have prepared a lot of food and drink, otherwise I would have died of thirst here before I got out of this desert." ”

As he spoke, he took out two bottles of frozen mineral water from the refrigerator in his carry-on space and threw one to the girl in black.

The girl in black took the water, didn't turn her head and opened her mask, and drank the whole bottle directly, and then said: "Judging from the visual distance, it is really not possible to get out of this desert in a short time. ”

Gu Cheng glanced at the girl in black when she was drinking water, although the girl in black pulled down the mask, Gu Cheng's position was at the bottom of the slope of the dune, although he looked at the incomplete side, Gu Cheng always felt "déjà vu".

"They all call me 'Lao Gao', what should I call you? You can't call '111', right? When others heard it, they thought I was making some indescribable sound......" Gu Cheng suddenly asked.

The girl in black glanced at him, not knowing what she was thinking, then turned around and continued to walk forward, leaving a word: "Ink." ”

"Silent silence? The ink of the literati? Or which mo? Gu Cheng asked subconsciously.

"The second."

"Oh-" Gu Cheng nodded, and then said, "Little Momo...... I thought your character must be silent and silent......"

Young ...... in black No, it should be said that "Mo" turned around and looked at Gu Cheng coldly: "Don't give me some strange nicknames......"

Gu Cheng spread his hands, and was about to tease a few words, when he suddenly glanced at the sand dunes under his feet, his face changed slightly, and the next moment AX338 had appeared in his hand vertically downward, and slammed into the yellow sand under his feet.

"Bang-"

With a single gunshot, the AX338's powerful shock force even shook the yellow sand around the barrel.

"Shhhh

Then, a monster hissed out.

Gu Cheng hurriedly jumped to the side, only to see that the yellow sand at the location where he was shot was surging up, and a pangolin-like creature came out from below, the difference was that its back was covered with spikes, and it looked very similar to the Thorn Demon, but it was twice as big as the Thorn Demon.

Gu Cheng didn't expect that there were still monsters in the poisonous sand dunes, but fortunately, he was vigilant and paid attention to every move around him all the time, so he noticed the movement under his feet.

AX338 then swapped into twins and fired several shots at the monster, killing it directly.

Mo walked over to the monster's corpse and glanced at it and said, "This monster is called Dune Thorn Demon, which is a variant of Thorn Demon, and usually appears in groups......"

"Gregarious monsters?" Gu Cheng's face changed.

Immediately afterwards, within a few hundred meters of Gu Cheng and Mo as the center, the sand dunes continued to "roll", and one after another the sand dunes thorn demons came out of the sand.

"Run!" Gu Cheng fired a few shots at the few sand dunes in front of him who had just drilled out of the sand dunes, and rushed over directly, the two of them couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest in this poisonous sand dune anyway, and they ran in the same direction, so they naturally chose a direction with fewer monsters.

After being chased by the Dune Thorn Demon all the way for more than half an hour, he finally got rid of it, Gu Cheng was already so tired that he was about to collapse, and he took out two bottles of ice water, and poured one bottle directly on his body, he felt that he was about to "burn".

Mo silently drank water and looked into the distance.

In the vast desert, the dark yellow sand is the only main tone here, and the wind carries the sand, sweeping between the heavens and the earth, and the wind howls endlessly. What's even more irritating is the blazing heat, which seems to penetrate through your skin and directly into the depths of your soul, roaring you. The ultra-high temperatures are concentrated in one point to test your will.

As far as the eye can see, the yellow sand is thousands of miles! There is no end in sight to the endless desert.

"When is this a head...... Gu Cheng was a little speechless, not to mention rescuing Leah in this situation, it was a question whether the two of them could walk out of the poisonous sand dunes alive.

Under the scorching sun and strong wind, Gu Cheng and Mo walked a long distance, and when Gu Cheng was trying to find the "end" of the poisonous sand dunes from afar with his eagle eyes, he suddenly found that on the sand dunes in the distance, several "figures" were fleeing in extreme embarrassment, and just as they ran down the dunes, several of them were unstable and rolled directly down from the sand dunes.

And those people did not fall down with an unstable center of gravity, but the small sand dunes suddenly collapsed, and a large number of sand dune thorns drilled out from below, causing the sand dunes to "slide", and those people fell down.

"There's a human here?" Gu Cheng looked at those figures with some surprise, this is a burning hell, how can there be human beings? Could it be a slave captured by the demons of hell?

But in any case, there is a human being who at least means that he can get some information from the other person, so this person must be saved.

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng took out AX338 to aim, and shot at a dune thorn demon who pounced on humans, the power of AX338 ordinary bullets was extremely strong against the sand dune thorn demon, and he directly smashed it into the sand dunes with one shot.

"If you save these people, you may be able to know how to get out of the poisonous dunes." Gu Cheng said. But in fact, even if he doesn't say it, Mo also intends to do so.

I saw that as soon as the ink hand was raised, the red dagger appeared in the hand, and then it was thrown forward, and the red dagger flew out of a distance of more than ten meters, and then the ink figure flashed, and the next moment it appeared in the position of the red dagger.

"? You're the 'Forever Sister?' 'Flying Thunder God is here?' Gu Cheng was surprised and continued to shoot in support of the humans in the distance.

Mo, on the other hand, relied on her "Flying Thunder God Technique (probably)" to move quickly across the sand dunes and reach the human position in a very short time. The dagger in his hand flew, and he cooperated with Gu Cheng to solve more than a dozen sand dune thorn demons.

Solving the Dune Assassin Demon, Gu Cheng walked towards the group of people, only to see that they had already gathered around Mo to express his gratitude, these people were not dressed like slaves, with armor, leather armor and weapons, but like militia and human warriors.

The flat-headed middle-aged man led by him thanked Gu Cheng and asked, "Are you also soldiers of the Kaltim Expeditionary Force?" ”

"Kaltim Expeditionary Force?" Gu Cheng shook his head: "We are just adventurers, and we found out that the Hell Demon had captured humans and entered the portal in Trisham, so we chased them all the way. But why are you here? And what is the Kaltim Expeditionary Force? ”

The man and the people around him glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that the other party was not from the Kaltim Expeditionary Force, but Gu Cheng and the others managed to save them, so they explained: "Under the leadership of Nephili, the human warrior corps successfully overthrew the demon king Belel, who pretended to be the king, but after sealing Bere, a traitor appeared in Nephilim and took away the soul stone. The other Nephilim deduced that the wizards were hatching a devastating conspiracy to destroy the world. Therefore, it is necessary to recapture the Demon King's soul stone, so the Kartim Expeditionary Force was formed and entered the Burning Hell......"

Nephilia? The Chosen One?

Sure enough, in the second and third acts, there were also the Chosen One who took refuge in the Hell Demon and the Wizarding Society, no wonder MacTitan would be able to gather the soul stones of the Seven Demon Kings so easily.

However, Nephilim organized the Kartim Expedition into Burning Hell, which at least means that he will not be isolated in the mission to save Leah.

Gu Cheng asked, "You are the soldiers of the Kartim Expeditionary Force?" ”

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man also shook his head and said, "No, we are the warriors of the Bastin Fortress. After defeating the Demon King Azmodan, his Soul Stone was taken by the Wizards. The Kartim Expeditionary Force sent someone to contact our commander, and an expeditionary force was formed at Bastin Fortress. It's just that after we entered the Burning Hell, there were several battles with the demons of Hell, and we were scattered by the demons. ”

"Do those two expeditionary forces have a stronghold in Burning Hell?" Gu Cheng asked.

The man nodded, "Yes." The stronghold of the Bastin Fortress Expeditionary Force was originally set up on the top of the Evil Canyon, but after being attacked by the demons of Hell several times, it is unknown if the commander ordered to shift the position. As for the stronghold of the Kartim Expeditionary Force...... Because we've been fighting since we entered Burning Hell, we haven't actually met the Kaltim Expeditionary Force yet, and when we saw you, we thought you were from the Kaltim Expeditionary Force. ”

Gu Cheng Xiangmo: "Since that's the case, then let's go to the Extreme Evil Canyon first?" ”

Mo nodded and agreed to Gu Cheng's proposal.

The middle-aged man continued, "The Burning Hell Portal established by Bastin Fortress is in the far north of the Extreme Canyon, and we think that even if the commander orders the relocation of the stronghold, we will at least keep the portal. Now that the Canyon of Evil is infested with demons, we plan to bypass the poisonous dunes and return to the Far North. ”

Gu Cheng said: "Then your plan is wrong, I don't know what the environment of the Extreme Evil Canyon is, but the poisonous sand dunes are not a good place." This sand looks ordinary, but in fact it contains a lot of poison, and we have taken a special approach to avoid dying in the poison. ”

As soon as they heard that the sand contained poison, the faces of these people changed, and one of them said: "Captain, instead of dying in this ghost place, it is better to go back and fight the demons!" ”

"That's right! There is value in dying and dying! ”

"! Go back and kill all those demons! ”

Gu Cheng looked at the noisy crowd and the tangled middle-aged captain, and proposed, "Why don't you join us and go to the Extreme Evil Canyon first to have a look, maybe there is any way to return to the stronghold of the expeditionary force without fighting the hell demon head-on?" ”

What Gu Cheng wanted was to take this group of people, no matter how much their combat strength was, at least they knew the way to the stronghold, and then they would get out of the ghost place of the poisonous sand dunes first.

"Okay." The middle-aged captain was entangled for a while, and then agreed to Gu Cheng's proposal.
