Chapter 39: Ruins

In order to facilitate the observation of the situation on the ground and find the place where he was left behind, after entering the range of Hamna Tower, Jiang Jie ordered Xiao Hei to lower his altitude and fly at a low altitude. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Getting closer, they could clearly see the gray-black mist all around the Hamna Tower, and soon the crowd flew past the large collapsed ruins and flew towards the southwest in the direction that Adesbay had perceived.

After flying along the boundless sea of sand for more than ten minutes, everyone came to a depression above the yellow sand, scattered abandoned stone buildings, a relatively intact pyramid stood in it, the square flat top exposed the ground, and most of the tower body was buried in the yellow sand, blocking the entrance of the black hole below.

Xiao Hei landed with a long roar, Adesbay jumped down and walked quickly towards the pyramid, Liu Minghao and others fell to the ground one after another, standing on the hot yellow sand, looking at the solemn scene engraved with the traces of time in front of him.

"I've never seen such a totem in a book." Eve's voice suddenly sounded, and with a blank look on her face, she walked to a stone pillar that had been cut in two, bent down and stroked the already blurred marks on it, and said with some excitement.

O'Connor followed her, while Jonathan ran to the entrance to the pyramid and peered inside, trying to find something of value or value.

Liu Minghao jumped off Xiao Hei's back for the last time, ran quickly onto a sand dune, looked at the entire ruins condescendingly, and looked around, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The terrain in front of him was not much different from that on the map, and he followed his memory to find a dry river not far away, although the traces had been almost completely submerged by the yellow sand, and he could also judge the place where the water had flowed according to the distribution of the large thorns nearby.

On that map, with the exception of a few signs, the orientation and flow of the waterways are drawn in great detail, the largest of which is the east-west flow in front of the pyramid, and two thin lines that are supposed to represent the underground water veins extend from the bottom of the base of the tower to join the river.

Liu Minghao tried to coincide the map with the scene in front of him, his eyes moved slowly, and suddenly his body moved slightly, and his gaze stopped.

In the shadow behind the pyramid, the space seemed to be faintly distorted, and a vague figure gradually appeared, moving slowly in the direction where everyone was.

Liu Minghao was immediately alert, and his eyes quickly skimmed over the entire ruins, and found that there were at least five or six such situations.

"Sand monsters."

A name immediately flashed in his mind, Liu Minghao shouted, jumped up, and rushed down the sand dune.

Adesbay and Jiang Jie also noticed something unusual, and O'Connor heard Liu Minghao's warning, and only then did he notice the huge figure that was gradually approaching behind him.

Only Eve stood in front of the half-collapsed building, studying the patterns on it intently, not noticing the shadows behind her, completely revealing the huge sand monster.

Eve is the key to opening the Lost Land, Liu Minghao naturally can't stand by and run towards Eve.

Seeing the huge fist of the sand monster raised high and smashed towards Eve's head, Liu Minghao jumped with all his strength, hugged Eve and rolled out to the side.

At the same time, a tall figure appeared in front of the two of them, blocking the heavy blow of the sand monster's fall.

With a dull roar, the jackal staggered back two steps, his heavy knife raised high and slashed down the sand monster's shoulder, splitting it in two.

The sand monster's body immediately collapsed, and a large expanse of yellow sand swirled and gathered again, waving its arms to attack the jackal.

Liu Minghao stood up and pushed Eve towards Jonathan, who was rushing over, and then jumped forward to block the other sand monster that was chasing Jonathan.

The sand monster is huge and looks bulky, but in fact it moves extremely quickly in the sand, and it will never die or be injured, no matter how many times it is scattered, it can recover immediately, and its strength is still rising as it continues to gather and reorganize.

Liu Minghao tried his best to dodge the non-stop attacks of the sand monsters, and his gaze quickly swept over the battle of the other people.

At this time, the surrounding sand monsters continued to appear, more and more, Adesbay and O'Connor were surrounded by three sand monsters next to the pyramid, Jiang Jie was slightly better, holding a scimitar, running between the sand monsters to dodge, although he could not win, but he could barely contain it.

Jonathan pulled Eve away from the distance, not daring to approach the battle circle at all.

"Lead them all to me." Liu Minghao walked around a stone pillar and shouted at the three of them, and at the same time summoned the jackal, ordered it to cover itself, and ran quickly towards an open field.

When Jiang Jie heard Liu Minghao's shout, he immediately jumped out of the encirclement, and at the same time, the curve in his hand swept out, and the pale green knife flew out quickly, passing through the body of a sand monster.

The sand monster collapsed in an instant, and it was already overwhelmed, and O'Connor and Adesbell, who were almost unable to resist, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, took the opportunity to escape from the encirclement, and rushed towards Liu Minghao.

Seven or eight sand monsters followed closely behind the three, and soon surrounded the four of them, let out a roar like the wind, and rushed forward with waving their arms.

Seeing dozens of huge fists smashing down on his head, Liu Minghao suddenly let out a low shout, raised his right arm high, and a blue light flashed in his hand, and then spread out like ripples in the water.

As the blue light erupted, Jiang Jie and the three of them all felt a chill attack, and looked at Liu Minghao in front of them in surprise, only to see that he was wearing a dark blue bracelet on his right wrist.

This bracelet is the glowing thing that Liu Minghao found in the cave at the bottom of the river.

This is an ice-based magic prop, the equipment requires 15 health points, 15 spirit points, and each time it is used, it needs to consume 5 spirit points, and the attack effect is a wide range of freezing, with an effective distance of 10 meters in diameter.

However, the basis of ice magic is the water system, in a place where the water element is abundant, it is natural to achieve the best effect, at this time they are deep in the desert, the climate is dry and the water vapor is very thin, Liu Minghao in order to be safe, several sand monsters are attracted to one place, only to stimulate the freezing technique.

As the spiritual value decreased instantly, Liu Minghao only felt a slight shock in his brain, a large area of blue and white light exploded in front of his eyes, and the white ice mist covered the huge fist, spreading rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, several sand monsters turned into ice sculptures, maintaining an attacking posture and standing in place.

The three of them let out a sigh of relief at the same time, and when Jonathan saw that the crisis was over, he also pulled Eve over, curiously circling around several ice sculptures, amazed.

Jiang Jie swung out his scimitar and smashed all the ice sculptures, but just now he was chased by a few sand monsters enough, and then he felt a bad breath.

"Something is wrong." Liu Minghao pulled Jiang Jie and blocked him behind him, his eyes fixed on the ice scattered on the sand.

Everyone was vaguely aware that something was wrong, and Jonathan immediately retreated behind Liu Minghao, watching nervously as the ice quickly melted, and the yellow sand was scattered on the ground, piling up into small sandbags.

At the same time, a faint roar was heard from the depths of the earth, and the yellow sand around them surged like waves.

"Be careful."

Liu Minghao let out a low snort and quickly retreated, and O'Connor hurriedly pulled Eve to run back.

Jiang Jie and Adesbay also quickly retreated, almost being submerged by a large area of sand waves rising in the air, and everyone retreated for nearly 100 meters before they could barely stabilize their figures.

Under the silent gaze of everyone, among the dancing sand waves, countless black gases swam around, large and small sandbags began to move slowly, gradually gathering together, and the quicksand continued to merge into it, until the huge sand monster was completely formed, and the quicksand dancing in the sky slowly fell and gradually subsided.

As the last few strands of yellow sand submerged into the body, the sand monster, which had almost doubled in size, roared and strode towards everyone.

"Can't we escape?"

Jonathan almost trembled, grabbed Jiang Jie's arm, looked up at the sky, and looked for Xiao Hei's traces.

Jiang Jie shook his head with a calm face, since he found the sand monster, he had lost contact with Xiao Hei, not only could he not sense it, but he couldn't see Xiao Hei's shadow in the sky at all.

Except for O'Connort Jonathan, the remaining four people all felt something strange, especially Adesberg and Eve, who were all in a strange state.

Adesbay was better, just a little excited, and his eyes were faintly bloodshot.

Eve's face was flushed, the ornamentation around her neck was faintly patterned, her eyes were blurred and unfocused, she just stared blankly into the void, as if she had fallen into a state of emptiness.

"Protect Eve." Liu Minghao looked directly at the approaching sand monster, threw a sentence at O'Connor, and jumped forward without looking back, the jackal man followed closely behind him with a long knife, and Jiang Jie and Adesbay also waved their weapons to meet him.

Jonathan, on the other hand, was pardoned, and immediately screamed and ran backwards with O'Connor on Eve.

The reappeared sand monster, the movement speed and strength have not been significantly improved, but the defense has increased several times, the body is more condensed, and it can only leave shallow traces when it is cut by the long knife of the jackal, even if it is the dagger in Liu Minghao's hand, it is ineffective, and it cannot cause the slightest damage.

The three of them surrounded the sand monster, struggled for a long time, and gradually showed their embarrassment, as time went by, their physical strength was seriously lost, especially Adesbay, the dodge speed was not as good as before, and they were almost hit by the sand monster several times, and there were a lot of wounds on their bodies.

The sand monster never knew tiredness, and its movements were as fast and accurate as ever, swift and swift, roaring and waving its arms, launching an offensive without stopping.

Liu Minghao's speed was the fastest, and he took almost all the attacks at this time, while Jiang Jie protected Adesbay, and the aqua blue light around him flickered slightly, and for a while, he was safe.

Seeing that the battle would not last for a long time, and if they continued to delay, they were very likely to be annihilated, Liu Minghao dodged the oncoming punches, jumped backwards, landed with his feet, and felt a solid feeling different from the sand, only to find that the dry river was under his feet.

Looking at the sand monster that rushed straight in, Liu Minghao's heart suddenly moved slightly, and when the sand monster came closer, he suddenly turned around and ran along the river towards the pyramid.
