"There seems to be a place up front where you can hide from the dust, let's set up camp there."

Xia covered his face with his arm and made a sound to everyone.

At this time, a fierce wind struck, fine grains of sand flew in the air, and the rolling yellow sand churned around everyone, and the light around them suddenly dimmed, obscuring people's eyes.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this place, it was so cold just now, and now it's like this again."

Albert stood on the sand with a hot sweat, his feet deep in the yellow gravel, and he reached out to build a pergola and looked at the sky:

"There's no sun here, so where does the heat come from?"

"It looks like it's going to get dark soon, keep walking, and you'll be able to rest in no time."

Xia Chuanyin encouraged everyone to come.

In front of me was an endless desert, vast and misty, and the cadets crawled in it like ants, looking extremely small.

The sand waves pushed forward layer by layer, like an invisible giant hand slapping the sand, constantly creating new sand dunes and pits, blocking everyone's way.

"It's hot!"

Xia's shoes have long been broken, and although the stockings made of special materials have a certain protective effect, they are not real shoes after all, and it is very uncomfortable to step on the hot sand.

Later, she simply flew into the air, and the dust on it was slightly smaller than the ground, but the pervasive wind was more violent, constantly tearing at the corners of her clothes.

"Hey!"

Abner stepped into the shadows, put down a bundle of magic wands, took one out of it, and thrust it into the ground.

It is surrounded by a mound of earth with dry plants faintly visible, and it does not seem to be a pure sand dune. So Natsu chose this place as a place to rest.

"Let's get a mage and light it, you have to make a fire to cook in such a hot place, alas!"

Albert leaned against the mound of dirt, fanning himself with his large shield and grumbling.

"It's not satisfying to have food and water, it's a desert. I'm afraid you won't be able to survive for seven days. ”

It was Agnes who spoke, with a look of disdain.

"Uh-huh."

Abner raised his head and drank a ball of water condensed by the mage next to him, but did not say anything to contradict her.

One is that he can't afford to mess with the other party, and the other is that Egnes is not wrong at all, it is really difficult for him to survive a week if he really throws himself into such a place.

"Huh? The appearance of this mound is quite strange, how does it look like a bunch of wild vegetables growing on the ground, but unfortunately it doesn't look like it can be eaten. ”

He patted the place he was leaning on, and was amazed.

By this time it was already dark. There was no light around except for the glow of the magic wand, and there was only the sound of wind and sand whistling in my ears.

Suddenly, a red light emanated from behind him.

The red glow, the size of a wall, resembled a huge bonfire in the middle of the night, illuminating the shield in EBNER's hand.

He immediately sensed the anomaly, looked back, and let out a terrible howl:

"Ah―――――h There are monsters! ”

"Bang!"

The huge mound of earth suddenly burst into a cloud of dust, and a huge bird flew up from the sand. Hovering in the air a few times, swooping down on the top of everyone's heads!

"Boom!"

The giant bird's head hit the ground. There was a big swollen bag on his head, and he closed his eyes and fainted.

"Hah...... Ha...... I'm tired, there are still such pit monsters here. ”

Abner, Lorraine and the others held their weapons and looked at the big guy who had been fighting with them for a long time, standing there panting desperately.

"Captain, are you going to kill it?" Sadonan walked over from the side. Asked.

"No, I came up with a great idea......"

Xia curled his silver hair with his hand, thoughtful.

"Hahaha, who said that shield warriors can't go to heaven!"

On the bird's broad body, Abner sat on it, clutching a handful of fluff and laughing. Around him, many team members who had never flown in the air were lying tightly on the back of the bird, with a look of novelty in their eyes.

"It's the next place ahead, and I hope we don't have any more trouble."

Natsu sat on top of the giant bird's head and thought as he looked at the gloomy sky in the distance.

……

"Bang!"

A thick tree that several people couldn't hold on to was broken, and several members of the team flew into the air and fell heavily to the ground.

"Quick, warriors get in the way, don't let this thing touch the mages and magicians!"

Lorraine shouted with his broadsword to the warrior students.

It was a dense jungle, deep and silent, and the team members scanned the tangled ancient trees and gloomy bushes around them vigilantly, as if they were guarding against something.

"Hiss......"

An eerie breath sounded.

Then he slowly raised a head in front of Lorraine, and the two yellow eyes on the top of the head glowed bloodthirsty.

The head looked like a snake's head, but on either side were two horn-like objects, the size of a large waterwheel on a farm.

"If this thing bites into it, we won't even be able to stuff it between our teeth."

A Dharma student said with his staff in his hand, his eyes full of horror.

"Captain, they are exploring on the other side, there is no news yet, maybe they are in danger like us; Everyone, hold on! I'll try to meet up with that side earlier. ”

Lorraine energized the students behind him, and then put on a parrying sword stance.

"Whoa—"

At this time, the dense bushes next to him shook for a moment.

I saw two female students come out of it, one was the captain that Lorraine had just mentioned, and the other was a woman with a furry tail.

"Ah, here you are."

The woman with the furry tail said happily:

"Let's go? We've found our way to the next area. ”

"Huh!"

The huge snake-like monster jerked its head back, and then with a flick of its body, it lunged in this direction!

……

"Wha! It's not as fast as the big bird, but it's easiest to sit in this forest. ”

Delia sat cross-legged on the head of the big snake with tears in her eyes, hugged her shoulders and laughed: "Quick! Little one, knock that big rock off the air for me! ”

The serpent stuck out his tongue aggrievedly. With a sweep of his tail, he swept the boulder away.

Delia slapped its head with her fist: "Stupid, it's for you to hit it!" Who told you to sweep with your tail? Find me another bigger piece of ......."

"Captain, we've come so far, how far is it ahead?"

One of the team members asked with a sad look on his face.

"It should have arrived, look."

Natsu pointed ahead. Said to him.

At this time, it seemed that they had reached the end of this dense forest, and the trees that covered the sky and the sun suddenly parted, revealing a towering giant tree in front of everyone's eyes.

"We passed by Despair Falls, snowy worlds, blazing deserts, black swamps, ancient jungles...... By now, most of the tests should have been passed, and the above is the final place. ”

Natsu flew up from the serpent's body and swept towards the giant tree with no top in sight. After searching for a long time in the middle of the tree, I finally found an entrance.

"The wind mage brought the rope here, everyone should have rested, right? With the decisive battle ahead, everyone is ready for the final battle! ”

Xia pulled out his long black knife and said in a deep voice.

"Squeak......

A large door was pushed open, revealing a peculiar area of various ashlars floating in front of it.

"Seems a little wrong...... Captain, why is this the same room again? ”

The warrior who opened the door said to Natsu.

"It's a labyrinth and almost all the rooms are the same. Just explore the neighborhood, I've got people to find the right route. Don't worry, everyone. ”

Xia Kou replied very quickly, and he was also a little puzzled in his heart:

- What about monsters?

She remembered that there should be a large group of monsters here, and they were all ferocious and tyrannical, and they were also very powerful, how could they not see any of them?

She looked back at the direction where Delia had just left, could it be that she had eliminated them? It can't be.

Or is it ...... There are other people in this place.

The handprint in front of the airship wheelhouse door came to mind. Her heart sank.

"Silver-haired, find your way."

Di Lia quickly ran back, squinted her eyes and rubbed on Xia's body, and said flatteringly:

"There are so many roads here, I follow the smell...... Give me a piece of octopus meat, right? ”

She wagged her tail. looked at Xia with blank eyes.

Xia handed her the prepared compressed box, and Di Liya slapped the lid of the box open, and a large ball of red and white roasted octopus meat popped out of it, and happily opened her mouth to bite on it.

In addition to storing food normally, the compression box also has the function of temporarily compressing food into very small pieces, which is easy to carry, so the team's dry food is still very sufficient.

Xia led everyone around for a while and came to a huge black door.

"This door is different from the one just now, is it the exit of the labyrinth?"

The team members who had already been dizzy suddenly cheered up.

"Poof!"

Xia spread his wings and flew to the door, and a blue light appeared in his eyes:

"Take your shield, Alberner, and go and open this door; Lorraine, cover will be handed over to you. ”

She spoke to the two of them.

Albernar's arm shook, shook the large shield on his arm, and walked to the door, just grasping the door panel, the door suddenly and slowly opened.

Then a mouth full of sharp teeth peeked out from behind the door and pressed down heavily on him.

"Peng—"

Abner, also an experienced warrior, jumped backwards to avoid the gaping mouth, and then saw a monster's head lying on the ground.

"Prepare to cast a spell!"

In Natiavida's absence, Agnes was the undisputed leader of the mages, giving orders to the team members in the rear.

But the monster on the ground didn't move.

I saw that it was lying there quietly with its eyes closed, and it didn't mean to get up at all.

"I'll take a look."

Lorraine frowned, walked over to the monster with his sword, leaned over slightly, and examined the monster's surroundings.

After a while, he turned to the group and said:

"It's dead." (To be continued......) R1292
