[Episode 13]

A year later.

In the northern part of the Laimi Plain, bypassing the ruins of the old city of Sagirona, you will come to a tropical desert climate with a very different climate from the plains.

Here, you will find the hottest and aridest area on the Yuanneng Continent, which is: the ruins of the old city of Lotinnea. Unfriendly abbreviation: desert.

Who would have thought that in this area where there would be no grass, dead branches and scorching heat, there would be a quiet oasis environment.

The oasis is located just east of Sandstone Ridge. Follow the winding, sturdy path under the corner of the Wasteland Mountain, with trails of off-road vehicle tires running over:

Looking to the north, the silhouettes of those faintly reflected in the clouds are large expanses of buildings that have been severely desertified by sandstorms, the so-called ruins of the old city of Lotinia.

Looking back to the south, there are footprints left by people walking forward on the road, and there is still a small amount of sand and dust on the ground.

On the small slopes on both sides of the road grow drought-resistant wild olive trees, and the grass gently sways in the shade of its leaves. A strawberry is still looming in the sandwich, which is not to mention, the point is that it is not fully ripe.

To the west, needless to say, is Sandstone Ridge. Without complete preparation and certainty, it is best not to break in.

Because not only will the temperature be low at night, but there will also be the skinny shadow of desert zombies; There is also a terrifying legend, and this legend is none other than a giant mutant creature such as a poisonous scorpion in the sand sea.

To the east, turn east along this road, and you can see the large olive trees lying quietly at a glance, and a turquoise scene leaps into your eyes with joy. There is also that piece of river, which makes people want to run over and tie a fierce son (1) to cool and cool.

There are green grasses and blooming dwarf berry trees, and sometimes if you are lucky, you can find river crabs under the cracks of large rocks, and large bulging watermelons lying on the ground basking in the sun.

Two horned antelopes stood on the surface of the water at a deep foot and bowed their heads to drink, their beautiful, fluttering reflections imprinted on the rippling surface of the river.

"Catch him—pong! Table tennis! ”

Suddenly, several gunshots rang out, causing the horned antelope, which was drinking safely on the river, to leap away in fright;

The river crab, which was just about to come out to bask in the sun, suddenly fled back to the crack in the stone;

A berry fell off its branch in fright, and rolled into the shallow water with a pop, and the surface of the water rippled slightly.

In search of prestige, it turned out to be a group of uniformed men armed with self-defense submachine guns on the winding path, chasing a teenager with an intricately carved gold box in his arms.

The young man had short straight hair, and a pair of eyes that looked forward firmly and stared a little panicked. His cheeks were flushed, his nose was snorting, his throat was hot, and his mouth was open to help his lungs exhale.

The clothes he was wearing were dirty and torn, and there was a stomped shoe print on the back of his blackened vest that had not had time to be scattered, and he looked pitiful and somewhat funny.

Table tennis! Table tennis!

"Chase! Don't let him run! The man with the bespectacles who spoke was called "Besko".

His rat eyes, cunning face, big buckteeth, and his movements and actions all reveal the simplicity of a person who follows behind the big guy's ass.

Don't say that he can't run fast by himself, he stopped in the middle of the road and gave a blind command, and kicked the butt of the subordinate who ran at the back to catch up.

"If you let that little imp run away and can't get the Eye of the Desert back, the boss will be angry! Hum! ”

"Yes, yes......"

Table tennis! Table tennis! Table tennis!

The bullet struck the boy in the back, and the most dangerous one passed down his cheek. Despite the warning, the boy did not stop his rapid pace of running.

After rounding the corner, the boy continued to run forward without stopping. He was supposed to return the same way, but he was suddenly attacked by the sand scorpion organization and had to run to an unfamiliar environment.

The road ahead became narrower, and there were tall sandstone walls on both sides, which did not bode well for the boy.

"Hah...... Ha-oops! When the boy was tired and tried his best to run forward, he was planted without paying attention. He fell to the ground, and his eyes were blank.

The gold box he was holding in his hand flew straight forward, and after being broken, two identical yellow and translucent orbs rolled out. They lie quietly on the sand, their smooth outer surface spotless.

"Ahh Look, it's the Eye of the Desert! The enemies who were in hot pursuit rushed into the alley in a hurry, and were surprised to see that the two that flew out of the box were exactly the same Desert Eye.

Don't catch up slowly, he didn't forget to point to the group of stunned subordinates in front of him and urged: "Go and grab it!" What is it doing with grandma?! ”

"Yes, yes, yes......"

Hearing their hurried conversation, the boy suddenly came to his senses. He prostrated forward, holding the two Desert Eyes in his arms.

He heard the sound of hurried footsteps in his ears, and though his back tingled with fear, he was worried that they would give him a poisonous beating. But nothing was more important than the Eye of the Desert in his arms, even if it was life!

"Bring it!"

"Nope! It belongs to Camp Northwest, and you don't want it! ”

"Don't wait for your uncle to spank you, bring it to me!" After spitting out a bunch of useless nonsense, the subordinate who spoke began to snatch out of the boy's arms like a hawk claw.

"Don't give! Help me! Help me! ”

The boy tried to stop him, and he rolled back and forth on the ground in defiance.

"Hee-hee-hee, little ghost, if you just scream out and cut your throat, no one will come to save you." Bezi pushed the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he said with a grim smile on his face.

"Hand it over!" Two more enemies rushed up to stop it. One of them held down the boy's legs and punched him in the head, causing the boy to faint on the spot.

The enemy easily pulled the two orbs called the Eyes of the Desert from his arms and held them high for their boss to see. "Ha-boss, I've got it!"

"Hee-hee-hee-hee. Now, the boss will definitely reward me with a large sum of money......" Besko smiled slyly on his face, just as he was proud, immersed in his sweet dream:

"Transform! (Bell-bell-)" suddenly appeared as the spar snapped into the energy elbow meter, and emitted a powerful metallic pulse with a sizzling sound.

"What sound? Yes! Don't be startled, and suddenly look up at the sky.

"Hah! ”

On top of the sandstone wall, a warrior of primordial power covered in brass-colored armor suddenly jumped down.

He threw his fist and jumped down, smashing the back of the head of the enemy who was holding the two Desert Eye Orbs on the spot, and the enemy let out a "whimper" and flew out weightlessly, plunging headlong into the heels of the other son.

One of the Desert Eyes fell and landed in place, while the other rolled behind Besko.

"Huh? Again, it's you again! Abominable Gundam Warrior - Mountain Pony! The frightened and frightened Bezi tilted his eyes, and recognized him at a glance as a mortal enemy with the leader.

Besko's subordinates immediately stepped back and snuggled up to Besko's side. Although they all carried submachine guns in their hands, their bodies still trembled involuntarily.

"Oh, it's you, shriveled." Covered in steel armor, the colt disdained to pick up the Desert Eye under his feet, and stood up again to confront them.

"Damn, the other one is in his hand - shoot!" Don't be angry.

His subordinates immediately came to their senses and raised their guns to aim at the foal.

Yakoma quickly stood in front of the young man, using his full armor to resist the extremely fast-spinning, ferocious bullets fired by the enemy.

The bullet hit the outer layer of his armor with a crackling sound. But apart from a few sparks popping up, the outer layer of its armor is still unscathed—it's pretty good!

"But, damn it! This guy's armor is too thick, and with my manpower, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat through a hundred more! Bezi thought in his heart.

Although Bezi was flustered in her heart, she pretended to be calm on the surface. Then he leaned over to pick up another Desert Eye, tucking it into his pocket.

"! Hand over the one in your hand too, and maybe I'll spare your life." When the mountain colt spoke, it carried a heavy mechanical voice due to the influence of the outer layer of the armor.

Besko stared at the mountain foal with a gloomy face, and her steps carefully fell backwards. "Stop dreaming! But, damn foal! I curse that the one in your hand must be fake, hum - get out of here! ”

After a curse, Besko and the others, who knew each other, quickly turned around and fled in a panic, regardless of whether the one they were holding was real or fake.

At this time, the mountain colt covered with steel against the battle armor, the one he held in his hand could not guarantee whether it was real or fake.

"Hmph, they're lucky." It wasn't until he saw that their shadows had completely turned and disappeared that he said angrily.
