I don't need it anyway. Yuan Hu spread his hands and said.

Rena hesitated. Yuan Hu agreed too quickly, which made her suspect that there was fraud in it.

Xiao Yang was still watching the negotiation between Rena and Yuan Hu, and did not express any opinions. Although he didn't think that Yuan Hu really had sinister intentions, since Rena and Yuan Hu were on the same page, he still had to respect Rena first.

But just when Rena hesitated, Xiao Yang suddenly felt as if something was pulling on his heart. His expression changed dramatically, and he shouted, "Rena, let's go back!" Luo Ruzhi: They are in danger! ”

Rena was startled: "You feel it?" ”

"Well, as you said, I feel that Luo Ruzhi and Jill are in danger." Xiao Yang said, "Let's go back first." As for this broken car, it doesn't matter if you want it or not, just give it to Yuan Hu. ”

Rena waved her bone wings unwillingly, fanning the yellow sand into the air.

"You've picked up the car!" Rena finally left this sentence and flew back with Xiao Yang.

Yuan Hu leaned against the armor of the sand drill vehicle and looked at the direction in which Xiao Yang and Rena disappeared.

"It's really annoying, it's really useless for us to get this car." Yuan Hu said to himself, "Forget it, it's better to throw it here." ”

At this time, a white light suddenly flashed around Yuan Hu. Yuan Hu disappeared to the ground in an instant, and then reappeared from a few meters next to him. At the same time, the sand drill truck behind him shattered into a pile of iron.

I saw a big sword gliding on the sand not far away, and there was a person standing on the sword, it was the soul envoy who had attacked Xiao Yang and the others on Shura Island not long ago.

"Yuan Hu, finally let me find you! I'm going to kill you! The man roared and jumped off the great sword, and the sword flew into the air and split in two, turning into two swords, long and short, and fell into his hand.

"Haha, your swordsmanship has improved, and you can emit sword qi with your bare hands." Yuan Hu laughed, "But we don't have time to play with you." Continue to play with swords here naked. ”

The man was naked—Rena had ruined his clothes, and he had no spare, so he was reborn naked. Yuan Hu's ridicule made him furious, and the long sword in his hand cut out a white cold mist and headed straight towards Yuan Hu. But just before the cold mist hit Yuan Hu, Yuan Hu had already disappeared into the sand, and the man cursed Yuan Hu frantically, but the latter never appeared again.

After Xiao Yang and Rena left, Luo Ruzhi found the skeleton of a dried camel in the sand, and he and Jill dragged the skeleton to the shadow of the sand dune and sat on the skeleton to rest. This way you don't have to come into direct contact with the scorching sand, and it feels much better.

Luo Ruzhi and Jill were still chatting at first, and after talking for more than ten minutes, they both felt bored and fell silent at the same time.

The silence between the two was broken when the "sage" prompted the collapse of the other side.

"What? Didn't that Rena say that the Tower would disappear in two hours? It's only been more than half an hour, and the tower on the other side is over. Rena isn't lying to us, is she? Luo Ruzhi stood up uneasily.

"You're thinking too much. Maybe there are other conditions for the disappearance of that tower. I'm sure the captain was right, and although she was a little bit open-mouthed, she was always nice to us. So......" Gil said abruptly interrupted at this point.

"What's wrong?" Luo Ruzhi felt very strange.

Jill looked at the sky: "Do you feel ...... Is it getting dark? ”

It did get dark. The sun was still shining on them, but the sky had become dark in the distance. It wasn't clouds that covered the sky, but sand and dust rising into the sky. The frenzied yellow sand stretched from the horizon to the sky, and the wind swept up the sand to form huge waves, and the surging momentum seemed to swallow everything in the desert.

"Damn it, Black Storm!" Luo Ruzhi raised his legs and started running, but Jill was stunned for a while before running with him.

"The so-called black storm is a super sandstorm, right?" Jill asked as she ran.

“bingo！ The strong storm blows up the sand to form a wall of sand and pushes it on the ground, the destructive power is very terrible, the sand can scrape off the flesh of the person piece by piece, and after the storm passes, only bones are left. The sand wall caused by the most powerful Black Storm can be as high as three thousand meters, sweeping the sky and the earth, and all animals and plants within the range of the Black Storm will die. There have even been records of entire armies in the desert being swallowed up by the Black Storm. ”

"Wait, can we run through the Black Storm on our legs?"

"Don't worry, I've estimated the direction of the Black Storm before I run. We're running in almost a vertical direction to the direction Black Storm is heading, so as long as we can get out of range of Black Storm before Black Storm catches up. We're already on the edge of the Black Storm's range, so we'll be able to get out. Luo Ruzhi said confidently, "Trust me." We could get out in half an hour. ”

Jill pondered for a moment, then said, "There's a problem with that. We're not running in the direction the captain used to be, so they might not be able to find us when they come back. ”

"It's important to run for your life, and contact them when you survive! We can't just wait for the two of them and watch the black storm engulf us! ”

"Not true. As long as we run into them on the road, we can escape with Rena's flying ability. Although Rena only took the captain alone in order to quickly find the other side of the tower, even if she brought three people, she would fly faster than Black Storm. ”

"Easier said than done!" Luo Ruzhi said, "Who knows when they will be able to come back, the first thing we should do now is to flee in the safest way, instead of putting hope on others!" My long experience of surviving in the wild is not for nothing, and it must be right to follow me anyway. ”

Luo Ruzhi's words made sense, and Jill could only be silent. But she was still a little worried. She always felt that there was an important issue that had been overlooked, but she couldn't say what the specific problem was.

The two of them didn't look back like this, running in the direction where they could live.

“…… Black Storm ......" Xiao Yang muttered the word. He had only heard of such terrible natural disasters before, and it was only the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. The dust that swept the heavens and the earth in the distance roared like a mighty giant, roaring and rushing towards this direction.

"It looks scary. If you get involved, you'll be doomed without the Beast Soul Variant. Rena commented.

Xiao Yang asked, "What about you?" Are you safe and sound? ”

"My bone wings can be deformed at will, and I have no problem conjuring up a layer of hard armor." "And there's no way I'm going to be caught up." The sand wall was advancing too slowly, and I could easily escape its pursuit. ”

"If you fly at full speed, we'll be back in twenty minutes." Xiao Yang said, "During this time, the Black Storm will not advance to the position where the two of them are. ”

Rena concluded, "As long as they don't move, it's fine." ”

Xiao Yang was puzzled: "It's okay for them to run away, right?" Anyway, we must be running in this direction, and we can converge faster. ”

"It's hard to guarantee that someone won't be clever." Rena changed the subject, "By the way, Xiao Yang, do you know how the natural disasters in the Hell Games are different from those in the real world?" ”

Xiao Yang was a little dazed: "...... Different? Are you saying that natural disasters are more frequent and more destructive? ”

"That's one aspect too. But most importantly, natural disasters in Hell are somewhat tightly controlled by the system, so they aren't as chaotic as in the real world. Rena paused, "They're going to chase people." ”

Xiao Yang looked at the sand wall blown up by the black storm in front of him. The direction in which the Black Storm is advancing seems to be a little different from what it was just now.

Twenty minutes passed.

"We're almost out of range of the Black Storm." Luo Ruzhi said this, and at the same time looked behind him for the first time. However, when he saw the scene behind him, his legs stopped running and he stood in place.

Jill stopped when she saw his strange appearance, and turned her head to look behind her.

"My God!" Jill involuntarily covered her mouth. In the direction they were running, they should have been on the verge of running out of the Black Storm, but now they were on the center line of the Black Storm's advance! There's only one possibility, and that's if Black Storm changes direction in the middle of the way! But how could such a thing happen? It was possible for the Black Storm to change direction during a long run, but now it was only twenty minutes, and the angle of its direction was several tens of degrees!

"Isn't it ...... This black storm is chasing us and changing direction, right? Jill guessed.

Luo Ruzhi shook his head in disbelief: "This is impossible!" The black storm is a natural phenomenon at best, how can it be possible to run after people? ”

"Normally it's not possible, but what if it's under system control?" Jill said, "In this place, this kind of thing is reasonable, right?" ”

“…… Makes sense......" Luo Ruzhi's face turned pale, "This is terrible!" ”

There's no way they've been able to go back to their old ways, and Black Storm's strikers are getting closer. The two of them continued to run in a straight line. The human legs are certainly not as fast as the Black Storm, but now they have no choice. If you don't run, it's definitely a dead end, and if you run like this, you still have a chance to live. If you can find a poplar forest or other hiding place in the desert, you may be able to survive a short black storm if you hide inside.

At this time, Xiao Yang and Rena had already returned to their starting point. However, Luo Ruzhi and Jill were not there. Xiao Yang stood on the sand and searched for a while, but found no trace of them. They must have fled, but because the wind and sand were so strong, I couldn't see their footprints now, and I didn't know where they were going.

"It seems that my suspicion has unfortunately come true, and they really didn't run in the direction we were going." Rena asked Xiao Yang, "You say, what should we do now?" ”

Xiao Yang looked at the advancing Black Storm not far away and said, "If the Black Storm is really chasing them, then you can find them as long as you follow the direction of the Black Storm, right?" ”

"Well, that's a way to do it. So ......"

As soon as Rena's words were said at this point, her whole body suddenly disappeared. A large, round mouth full of teeth sprang out of the sand and swallowed her body. Xiao Yang hurriedly ran over to save Rena, but before he could run to the mouth of Xiao, the mouth had already dived into the sand and could not be seen.

That Xiao Zui seemed similar in Xiao Yang's eyes. He quickly remembered that it was the sandworm, the most important giant creature on the desert planet Aragis, in "Dune Magic Castle". Rena's nonsense happened to come true. The first creature they encounter here is actually from Dune.

Xiao Yang crouched on the sand, listening to the sounds underground. The Black Storm's flanks were approaching, and time was running out, but he was still listening with all his energy on the sand.

The sandworm, also known as the sand lizard, is the most massive creature in Dune, the largest being hundreds of meters long, capable of swallowing an entire factory in its stomach.

This creature is the overlord of the sand sea, and is actually a giant carnivorous earthworm that is very difficult to deal with.

But now Xiao Yang is not worried about any danger that Rena will have. She has a lot of experience and all-round combat ability, and it is impossible for her to die in the stomach of such a sandworm. The biggest problem is that the sandworm is so big that it will take a long time for Rena to break out of its body. And the sandworm is too fast to sneak in the sea of sand, and Rena may have been in the deep sand when she came out.

There was a "hissing" sound from the sand, and it was a sandworm swinging its body. Xiao Yang tried his best to remember the habits of the sandworm. In the novel, it is said that when the sandworm is about to appear, there will be a serious anomaly in the desert, and the sand will fluctuate violently like the sea level, as if there are big fish swimming below. This phenomenon is very obvious, and it stands to reason that Xiao Yang and Rena should have noticed it a long time ago. Of course, the black storm not far away attracted Xiao Yang and Rena's attention, but even so, Rena, who was quite alert, would not be attacked by sandworms for a moment. The only explanation why the two did not find the sandworm is that the sandworm did not move when it moved, but approached them quietly.

Xiao Yang was a little confused, but he didn't have time to think about it. Judging by the change in the sound of the sandworm, it is not only diving, but also moving away from here. But until now, Xiao Yang has not heard Rena's movements. This abnormal situation made Xiao Yang impatient. In order not to follow Diorena, he had to run forward in the direction of the sandworm - this direction was exactly the opposite direction of Luo Ruzhi's escape.

Xiao Yang was never willing to abandon Luo Ruzhi and Jile, but now he had to prioritize Rena. Without Rena's flying ability as support, it would be impossible for Xiao Yang to rush to Luo Ruzhi and Jill himself. Now all Xiao Yang can do for Luo Ruzhi and Jill is to pray for their safety.

Black Storm's strikers are getting closer and closer to Luo Ruzhi and Jill. After all, their running ability can only be regarded as ordinary people, and it is impossible to be faster than the Black Storm that is raging in the desert. Luo Ruzhi looked back behind him as he ran, the expression on his face becoming more and more desperate. At this rate, it won't take more than half an hour for them to be caught up by the Black Storm. The strong wind would throw them into the air, and even if they managed to fall and not die, the terrifying wall of sand in the storm would crash into them, tearing their protective suits and cutting their flesh off their bones piece by piece. Just imagining that tragic situation made Luo Ruzhi break out in cold sweat on his forehead.

"Front...... There seems to be something up ahead! Jill suddenly shouted. Luo Ruzhi turned his head to look forward again, and saw that there was indeed a gray-brown thing a few hundred meters in front of them on the right, protruding from the sand surface two or three meters high. Visibility in the desert was so low that they couldn't see what it was.

"Let's run that way. If only it was a rock that we could avoid down there. Luo Ruzhi said.

Soon the facts proved that Luo Ruzhi was mistaken. When Luo Ruzhi and Jill ran to the object, they realized that it was not a rock, but a giant tank with a strange shape, the bottom half of the tank was buried in the sand, and the turret was facing back, so they didn't realize it was a tank before. There seemed to be no one in the tank, and the two of them started shouting from a hundred meters away from the tank, but no one answered.

The two came to the tank. The paint on the exterior of the tank is somewhat peeling, but there is no sign of rust, and it looks like it has been discarded, but it may still work.

"Luo, do you know how to drive a tank?" Jill asked.

"Don't think I can do anything. I'm just a second-rate mercenary, and I've never been trained as a tankman. In short, I don't know anything about tank driving. Luo Ruzhi glanced at the appearance of the tank, "And this tank is different from all the tanks I've seen, no tank in the real world can be designed so strangely." The appearance of such a tank in such a place is really suspicious. ”

"By the way, how about we hide in a tank?" Jill suggested, "The tank looks heavy, too, so it shouldn't blow up." ”

The black storm behind will chase after it in more than ten minutes. Luo Ruzhi nodded at Jill: "Okay, let's hide in." ”

Time was running out, and the two of them quickly climbed on top of the tank, ready to unscrew the lid. Since there was no one in the tank, the hatch should not be locked, and the two of them could open it.

However, at this moment, the main turret on the tank suddenly rotated, sweeping Luo Ruzhi down at once. There were people in the tank!

"Don't attack us!" Luo Ruzhi got up from the sand, "We have no malicious intent!" ”

The turret stopped spinning and did not attack Gil, who was still on the tank. At the same time, an immature female voice came from the loudspeaker outside the tank: "Can I trust you? ”

She speaks Chinese.

"Well, trust us!" Luo Ruzhi shouted repeatedly, "We are kind! ”

"But you look like a bad guy, uncle." Said the man in the tank. Judging by the voice and tone of voice, it was a young girl who drove the tank.

Luo Ruzhi was so angry that he almost jumped up, but when he thought about it, he was more like a bad person, so he had to hold back his anger and not attack. Jill spoke in time: "Trust my sister." We really have no ill will. ”

"Okay." The girl in the tank opened the hatch after a while, "Come in, all of you." ”

Jill saw the girl's appearance from above the hatch, and immediately showed a very surprised expression. To call her a maiden is to overestimate her age
