Chapter 40: The Lost City
As he rushed forward, Liu Minghao recalled in his mind the locations of several waterways on the map, and now he was following the first discovered dry waterways, approaching the pyramids. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the map, there were at least two large rivers in this area, and there was an oasis in the northeast.
Chasing and escaping, Liu Minghao crossed the pyramid along the river and ran towards the northeast, and soon a large sea buckthorn bush appeared in front of him, Liu Minghao was shocked, and immediately increased his speed, slightly opened the shortening distance between him and the sand monster, and came to the front.
The gray-brown sea buckthorn bushes are arranged in a circle, and the outline of the original lake can be faintly seen, almost all of which has been covered by yellow sand, and only in the central area can you see scattered rocks and scattered animal bones, as well as withered plants lying on the ground.
In a moment when Liu Minghao paused slightly, the sand monster quickly approached, and its huge fist smashed from behind him with the sound of whistling wind.
Liu Minghao's stature was short, and he surged forward, past the clumps of shrubs, and into the center.
The sand monster's fists fell, the yellow sand splashed, and there were immediately two more sand pits on the ground, and then he straightened up, let out a dull roar, and followed with big strides, chasing Liu Minghao's footprints, circling around.
Liu Minghao completely gave up the attack, just relying on his own speed, flexibly dodging the fierce attacks of the sand monster, always circling within the range of the sea buckthorn bushes, and barely took a step.
At this time, the others also caught up, because they didn't know what Liu Minghao had planned, and they didn't dare to approach rashly, but they could see that he seemed to be deliberately guiding the sand monster and constantly destroying the vegetation on the ground.
Soon, the sea buckthorn bush that had grown extremely luxuriantly was a mess, trampled by the sand monster to a mess, a large area fell to the ground, scattered everywhere, with the sand monster's arms dancing in the wind, bringing up countless sand and dust, dancing all over the sky, after a while, almost turned the ground over one by one, several places, and even appeared several potholes of different shades, faintly showing dark sand.
Liu Minghao's footsteps paused slightly, turned back sharply and turned defense into attack, pounced on the sand monster, surrounded the sand monster left and right, and constantly guided its fists to land on several dark sandy places.
Soon, a large area of moist black sand appeared in the splashing yellow sand, and a faint moist smell gradually appeared in the dry air.
Liu Minghao dodged the sweeping attack, rolled over on the spot, grabbed a handful of wet sand in his hand, a cold light flashed in his eyes, jumped up suddenly, and strode towards the sand monster in the face of the attack.
Seeing that the huge fist was approaching, Liu Minghao dodged slightly, suddenly reflexively hugged the thick arm with both hands, and his body jumped forward with the momentum, like a nimble ape, climbing the body of the sand monster, approaching the huge head in the blink of an eye, his right hand suddenly swung out, and a silver-blue light immediately bloomed.
A large area of ice mist appeared out of thin air, covering the sand monster's body, spreading rapidly, freezing half of its body almost instantly, and the sand monster roared and swung its body awkwardly, throwing Liu Minghao to the ground.
Liu Minghao rolled to the ground, endured the tearing pain caused by the ** god in his brain lowering again, and immediately jumped backwards, stumbling a few steps before barely stabilizing his body.
Seeing that the plan worked, the sand monster's movements became slower and slower, and his body was almost completely covered by silver-white ice, but Liu Minghao's eyes did not have a trace of joy, unlike the relief of everyone behind him, but frowned.
Because of the particularity of the sand monster, it can be said that it is impossible to defeat at all, only the ice can achieve the effect of imprisonment, which has been illustrated before, but the strength of the newborn sand monster is far beyond the previous low-level sand monster, if you want to freeze him, you must try to maximize the freezing effect of the bracelet as much as possible, and look for a relatively abundant water element, so Liu Minghao locked the place where there may be an underground water source according to the map, as a battle location, and took the opportunity to find an area containing an aquifer.
However, his luck was not bad, and he didn't delay until he was exhausted, but he found an aquifer under the surface, so he immediately seized the opportunity and activated the bracelet.
This was his last chance to use the Freezing Technique, at this time his spirit value had dropped to 10 points, and he could no longer equip the bracelet, if this blow did not achieve the expected effect, I was afraid that everyone would be killed.
However, this time, his good luck had obviously run out, and at the moment when the freezing technique was released, in addition to the unbearable headache, he also felt a burning sensation suddenly emanating from the sand monster's body, and he had a faint bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, just as the sand monster was about to be completely covered by the ice, it suddenly let out a dull roar, and then a burst of red light flashed on its chest, and as the light became brighter and brighter, the silver-white ice began to melt rapidly.
The white water vapor rose, and the sand monster kept roaring, the red light became more and more intense, slowly spreading, like a flame around the body, the thick ice layer faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a few breaths, the right arm of the sand monster regained its freedom.
The sand monster shook its body violently, and the already fragile ice layer shattered, making its left arm also get rid of the confinement, at this moment, above the sand monster's hands, the red light began to slowly converge, condensing into two dazzling fireballs, as the fireballs gradually became larger, the surrounding air also became extremely dry, and the temperature rose rapidly, as if it could burn at any time.
Seeing the two fireballs with a crimson color gradually take shape, Liu Minghao could already feel the sense of oppression emanating from them, and his face became more and more difficult to look at, once it exploded, the power was unimaginable, at least he was the first to bear the brunt of it, it was absolutely difficult to dodge.
The more critical the moment, the more calm Liu Minghao became, his eyes crossed the two dazzling fireballs, and landed on the chest of the sand monster glowing with red light, and a black phantom could be faintly seen, flickering in it, and he couldn't help but move slightly in his heart.
There is an obvious causal relationship between the appearance of the sand monsters and the resurrection of Immorton and the escape of the undead in the Tower of Hamna, according to the information that Adesbay received from the witch elders, these sand monsters were condensed with the power of the undead.
As soon as the crisis was about to erupt, Liu Minghao no longer hesitated, regardless of the scorching heat, he jumped forward suddenly, exerted his fastest speed, approached the sand monster, jumped up suddenly, and rushed down from mid-air, and the dagger in his hand was forcefully inserted into the phantom on the sand monster's chest.
The sand monster seemed to sense the crisis, and immediately turned around awkwardly, the flaming arm swept over, and a hot breath hit, Liu Minghao's intuition suddenly felt a pain in his waist and abdomen, and the clothes on his body quickly burned, mixed with the smell of burnt skin and flesh.
Liu Minghao snorted, gritted his teeth and rolled to the ground, then jumped up again, swooped up desperately, and when he got close to the sand monster, he suddenly fell into the gap between his arms, jumped up, and waved his right hand like lightning.
The dagger was slammed into the sand monster's chest, and a cold breath instantly passed into the heart along his right arm, Liu Minghao's body stiffened suddenly, and a roar sounded in his head, and his eyes immediately turned black and he fainted.
……
A low sound of conversation came into his ears, gradually becoming clear, and Liu Minghao opened his eyes to find himself lying in the shadow of a collapsed ruin.
A wet handkerchief fell on his forehead, and Eve, who was taking care of Liu Minghao, came into contact with his sight and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "You're awake." ”
Jiang Jie and the others, who were standing on the side talking, turned around when they heard the sound and walked over quickly.
The scene before fainting flashed in front of his eyes, Liu Minghao did not feel the burning pain of the burn, and found that the injured part had been wrapped with a thick bandage.
"I've already taken care of your wounds, don't open them, lest they worsen." Jiang Jie leaned over and winked at Liu Minghao from an angle that Eve couldn't see.
Liu Minghao immediately understood that Jiang Jie should have given him the medicine in the system, and in order to hide people's eyes, he naturally had to bandage it tightly, so as not to be discovered by others that such a serious wound would recover too quickly and cause unnecessary trouble.
took off the handkerchief and sat up, and with a slight turn of his eyes, Liu Minghao immediately noticed something unusual.
By this time, they had returned to the previous pyramid, surrounded by collapsed buildings and a yellow sky, and hundreds of meters away, a huge city appeared, like a mirage, suspended in mid-air.
A white mist stretched down the gates of the city like a ladder, almost touching the ground.
"This is the Forsaken Land?" Liu Minghao looked at Adesbay beside him.
Adesbell's face was solemn, with a hint of excitement that could not be concealed, and he nodded slightly, and his right hand stroked his chest, "Yes, this is the place of forsakenness, I can feel the call of the ancestors." ”
Liu Minghao noticed that on the back of Adesbe's hand, the same pattern appeared on Eve's neck, and the two sets of patterns were put together to form a complete totem representing light.
"This is the Land of the Legendary Seal." Eve's eyes flashed, she noticed Liu Minghao's gaze, and said excitedly, "That sand monster is the key to breaking the seal." ”
It turned out that after Liu Minghao killed the sand monster, the top of the collapsed pyramid immediately released a white light, shooting straight into the sky, and then the surrounding scenery changed, and they returned to the place where they first encountered the sand monster, and Xiao Hei had been hovering in the air, making a rapid chirping sound.
Everyone immediately noticed that in the sky, at the end of the white light, a city slowly emerged.
"By the way, this is for you." Adesbay calmed down a little, then thought of something, took out Liu Minghao's dagger and a red stone and handed it over.
This was found by Jiang Jie in the sand pile after Liu Minghao killed the sand monster, because he couldn't pick it up at all, and only the characters in the plot could touch it, so Adesbay kept it for the time being.
Liu Minghao put away the dagger, picked up the stone with a black vein, and an explanation immediately appeared in his mind.
"Broken Sand Monster Heart, Sand Crystals Corroded by the Power of the Undead, Auxiliary Items, the wearer is immune to quicksand attacks, each time it is activated, it automatically consumes 2 HP, the effect lasts for 20 minutes, and the number of uses is x3.
