On the electric vein Z43 vein star, 167m below the desert where a king-level sandstorm has just occurred.

The mixed 16 mechs stopped in darkness, and all sides were covered in white sand, and there were hardly any gaps.

Huge pressure came from the white sand everywhere, and it was pressed on the fuselage of the mixed 16 together. However, because the mecha opened the energy shield, and its metal shell was very tough, it was not squeezed and deformed by the pressure.

And in this environment where you can't see your fingers, there is still a lot of light emitted by itself inside the mecha cockpit, and there are also lights reflected on the dials of various instruments.

Ike reclined in his chair, holding a series of small objects in his hands, which swirled and glowed green.

A small piece of Gibbs crystal.

"It can't be done yet." The hands that turned into afterimages stopped, and Ike frowned slightly, "Let's talk about it later." ”

As he muttered to himself, he turned his head to look at Taquila and Cortana behind him, who were still unconscious.

Didn't Sai say that they were mildly unconscious, why hadn't they woken up yet?

No matter, I should be able to go out by now anyway.

Ike looked at the time carefully, it had been more than 4 hours since the sandstorm.

He sat up straight and began to work in front of the screen.

With a "buzzing" sound of the mecha activating, several energy beams shot out from the weapon jets in various parts of the mixed outfit 16, instantly turning the white sand above it into a molten state.

A viscous silica liquid slowly flowed down the mech's energy shield.

It's time to leave.

Ike pressed a few buttons expressionlessly, and a large number of thrust backs immediately burst out from the flames in various parts of the mecha, pushing the mixed 16 straight up.

With the lasers and flames soaring into the sky, Mixed 16 quickly came to the ground just now.

After the baptism of a king-level sandstorm, the ground is still white at this moment? Soles?? 彀設車酱ζ?19牛?? Go to the rhyme? Aged Age?? Criticize x forgiveness? Visibility > is still very low, and everything you see is a monotonous white, giving people a dull post-apocalyptic feel.

However, there is no sunlight here, and the temperature drops a lot in an instant, and the surveyor of the mixed 16 shows that the outside world is only 24C at this time.

The white sand in all directions smashed indiscriminately, hitting the metal shell of the mecha after removing the energy shield. This is the aftermath of a king-class storm, and if a person is outside, he will instantly become a pulp.

Ike looked at the screen with a blank face, and according to the direction indicated by "Saiko", he manipulated the mech to continue to travel in the direction that he had been insisting on.

Time passed quickly, and in this way another dozen hours passed, and night fell again in this lonely and desolate desert.

Ike put his hands in front of the screen, and the long boring solitary walk did not relax his spirit.

The searchlight on the waist of the mecha has been turned on by him, but although the white sand has precipitated a lot, it is still fluttering in the sky, so the visibility at this time is only within the range of 10 meters.

"Master, the front is a high-energy reaction." At this moment, the warning sound of "Saike" suddenly came.

Ike couldn't help but be vigilant, because at this moment, a white dot appeared on the screen of the detector of the mixed 16 that was approaching him at high speed.

What could it be, first of all, it can't be an American mecha, the modified survey system will show them as red dots, and the same won't be Zoomlion's mecha or fighter.

Then there's only one possibility, native creatures!

While Ike was on guard, a deafening sound of "boom" suddenly came from under the ground, and the earth began to shake violently.

It came from underground.

Ike immediately activated the thrust reverser flame on the sole of the mecha's feet, and the mixed 16 instantly rose to more than ten meters in the air.

In less than a second, a black shadow suddenly burst out of the sand, and in an instant rushed towards the mixed outfit in the sky16, a serpentine mouth dripping with slime suddenly opened, intending to swallow it completely.

It was so fast and so sudden that it didn't make people react at all. In such a situation, even the ace driver has to drink and hate.

And Ike, who had already prepared in advance, moved his hands together, and the side body of the mixed 16 mecha suddenly erupted in flames, and the entire fuselage began to rotate and change direction.

"That thing" rushed into the sky but pounced, and instead ate a mouthful of white sand.

Ike could see part of the thing's body now, a thick, slightly curved stick sticking straight into the sky.

This is......

"Hum" At the same time, an earth-shattering sound was heard, and the thing quickly turned its head, and the head stretched out to bite at Ike again.

It was a pair of hideous eyes, gray and colorless, but staring as if it wanted to choose someone, and a row of sharp teeth pierced its own jaw, sticking forward like ivory.

Worm.

Ek suddenly understood the creatures he had encountered.

It is a terrifying creature that lives in huge deserts and nests hundreds of meters below the ground. Living in the dark for a long time has caused its eyes to deteriorate, but its senses are unusually sensitive.

Sandworms feed on sand and soil, but are extremely violent, devouring everything they see. And after every big sandstorm, it's often when they come out to breathe.

Huge enough to almost obscure the sky, this alien creature is a rarity, and they are almost a nightmare for human bases.

But now Ike happened to come across one, but its total length was only about twenty meters, and its width was about five or six meters, and it was just a small sandworm that had not grown.

"Hmph" The moment Ike dodged the sandworm, it reversed course again and attacked Assorted 16.

Good speed.

Mixed outfit 16 rolled over backwards and dodged the giant mouth of the sandworm, but at this time, its body suddenly flicked, and the flexible thick barrel body of a snake writhed and hit the mecha, and the huge force instantly acted on a point.

The mixed 16 was directly pumped away, but fortunately, with the protection of the energy shield, there were no problems with the fuselage and various instruments.

Ike maneuvered the mech into another Cobra maneuver, causing the mech to stand still in mid-air while dodging the giant jaws of the sandworms again. Then the various jets on the body of the mixed 16 were opened, and a dozen thick lasers shot towards the sandworm's eyes.

The eyes are both the degraded part of the sandworm and the only weakness in its impregnable body.

And Ike had already used bullet time, so no matter how fast the sandworm was, this blow would be impossible to dodge.
