Chapter 157: Sand Ghost (Second Update)

Who would have thought that this scene of thousands of troops marching out had also happened once in another time-space curve that had not been changed in the past, and that time the army of five thousand troops was even more powerful than this time.

And this secret that traveled through time and space and changed the past was only known to Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng, they watched from a distance the mane of the Demon Horse Cavalry Regiment following the side of the head of the hedgeh, and they felt even more magical, now he was intact and energetic, and it was really gratifying to talk and laugh beside the hedge ghost.

The journey to the outside of the Chimere Desert was unexpectedly smooth, and by the time they reached the edge of the desert, the more than a thousand sand camels were already waiting there, but the scorpions had not yet appeared.

Seeing that they were all here, everyone had to stop. Waiting left and right and waiting for the scorpion to come, Mochizuki lost his patience and asked Ouyang Hongye, "This member of your intelligence team won't fool us, right?" ”

"The reason why I was able to choose him to join the firing group is because I feel that I can trust him completely, I believe that he will not lie, just wait a little longer!" Ouyang Hongye also knew that letting the army wait endlessly would likely slack the morale of the soldiers, but if he attacked rashly, he was also likely to be ambushed by the sand ghosts, causing unnecessary sacrifices, and he had to continue to wait under the trade-off.

"Are sand ghosts really that great?" Qianqi asked Lingyu beside him, he had no concept of this kind of monster that only existed in the desert since he was a child growing up near the water.

"Maybe it's not like to be alone, but this kind of thing likes to work as a team." Lingyu replied. He'd seen a sand ghost before, and was almost dragged into the sand, so he didn't have a good impression of the monster.

Just when everyone was about to be disappointed, the belated blue scorpion finally appeared in everyone's sight, followed by a row of black-clothed warriors of the same clan. The warriors were very similar to him in size and dress, most notably each wearing long braids with red scorpion tail hooks at the end of their braids.

Originally, he should have joined the large army earlier, but who knew that the team that had just been formed with great difficulty would have a situation halfway through, and one of them suddenly repented, feeling that the troops who joined the royal city would be restricted in their freedom, and it was thankless, and as a result, the emotions of the others were also affected by his trouble.

The scorpion spent a lot of effort in order to convince them, the character of the scorpion demon clan is to eat soft rather than hard, and the tougher the other party's attitude, the more difficult it is to convince them, so he has to know how to reason and move with emotion, and make up a reward that should not be underestimated. But how to ask Ouyang Hongye for this reward in the future, he hadn't thought about it yet.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Demon King Fox, Lord Ouyang Hongye, the intelligence group is late!" The scorpion knelt down on one knee and said, and the row of soldiers behind him was stunned for a long time before they also knelt down casually.

"Needless to say, Momiji said that your scorpion demon clan happens to have the ability to conquer sand ghosts, so let's see it. If you are able to destroy all the sand ghosts and ensure that we pass through the Great Desert of Chimeir, I will reward you abundantly when we return to the royal city. Ouyang Xiaoleng said to the blue scorpion.

"Please rest assured, let it be left to us!" When the scorpion heard that the problem he had been worried about had been solved in this way, he thought that it was really like a heavenly help, and it was time for him and his people to show their skills.

"According to Yong-sama, they have two weapons, but the specific construction and use of these two weapons are not recorded in detail. One is called the sand turning wheel, which can create sand waves; The other is called chain locks, which can stumble on desert walks. Be careful! Ouyang Hongye's grandfather said.

"Yes!" After the scorpion was finished, he led the warriors of his clan to rush into the desert first.

At this time, it was noon, and the temperature here was much higher than the rest of the demon world, and there was a noticeable burning sensation when stepping on the sand. He suppressed the speed of the warriors behind him, and walked forward without fast or slow, while keeping an eye out for movements around him that might appear at any time. Seeing that they had walked out of the distance safe and sound, the soldiers waiting here in the desert could no longer hold their breath, and the voices of discussion rang out one after another.

"Are there really sandghosts?"

"I think it's Qingyun who made it up."

"It's a waste of time to wait for these scorpion demon clans for so long."

"That's it, I knew that it was better for us to apply to be a stormtrooper just now, and maybe we could get the reward of the demon king fox."

……

At the moment when the group of people were talking happily, the previously calm desert in their eyes began to change, although there was no strong wind, but the large yellow sand in the distance began to roll like waves. At first it was only a slight one, but then the sand wave grew bigger and bigger, and even continued until a huge sand wave swooped down on the scorpions.

"Look! It's coming!"

After someone shouted, the scorpions were drowned in the sea of sand.

Scorpion demons don't have a good sense of sight and hearing, but they can rely on the vibrations of the air and objects around them to create dynamic images. The scorpion soon sensed that there were about ten sand ghosts coming towards him and his fellow warriors, their bodies like awls, and the sand rustled through the countless copper rings on their bodies. They dragged a huge metal object that looked like an anchor and a motor, and the sand wave seemed to be formed by this big guy who was constantly rotating and turning the sand in the process of being dragged by them, and he guessed that this was the sand turning wheel that Ouyang Hongye had just said.

He used gestures to command the warriors of his clan to divide into two groups and go around to those sand ghosts, and he also stared at one of them, who knew that the speed of these monsters in the sand was very fast, even if he wasted a lot of strength to catch up, but when he saw it, he let them run away, and his fellow warriors also disappeared one with him. The large weapon in their hands seems to be able to not only form sand waves, but also affect the perception of the scorpion demons in the desert.

Although the scorpion demon can fight in the sand for a long time, after all, they are no better than the sand ghosts who have already turned into undead, and they still have to go to the ground every once in a while to breathe, and there are already a few warriors of the scorpion demon clan who can't hold on to drilling into the surface of the desert.

"They're coming up, and the sand ghosts have been eliminated, right?"

Seeing their figures, someone in the large army waiting here shouted.

Everyone in the large army was already riding on the back of the sand camel beast, and some people in the group rushed forward when they heard the sound, and they actually pushed the first few people forward quite a bit. A terrible scene happened, a white line suddenly appeared in the yellow desert, and because it was moving so fast that it could not allow the warriors who had been squeezed in front to react, it tripped over it, and the sand camel they were riding suddenly fell headlong and led them to the surface of the desert, and a wave of sand soon engulfed the warriors like a sea of sand.

"Ahh Many of the fighters who witnessed all this let out a cry of terror.

"Don't panic! No one should take another step forward until the scorpion sends a clear signal! Ouyang Hongye scolded loudly.

The sand ghost was obviously more difficult to deal with than they had imagined, and he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for the scorpion. Originally, he thought that it would take so long for the Scorpion to muster a large army, but he didn't expect that the warriors of the Scorpion Demon Clan would be so difficult to convince, and it took a lot of effort to bring back twenty people, and now he had to hope that each of them would be able to find a way to suppress these strange weapons of the Sand Ghosts.

After the breath, the scorpion once again led his fellow warriors into the desert, and the sand ghosts soon appeared not far away with the anchor-like sand wheels again, and this time he would never allow them to disappear under his nose as easily as they had just now.

He held his breath as he tried to trace their every movement with the help of the senses coming from his hair and skin, and soon discovered why they suddenly disappeared after attacking. It turns out that after creating a wave of sand, they will take advantage of the difference in the sand caused by the moment of the opponent and take the opportunity to pull the opponent, and whether they succeed or not, they will immediately sink deeper into the ground, which is why he feels as if they have suddenly disappeared.

A thought suddenly flooded into his mind, weren't those dense copper rings on their bodies just the target for their scorpion's scorpion tail hook? As long as you can hook any of those brass rings in the moment you pass them, you can not be affected by the illusion caused by their strange weapon.

He gestured to his companions about his plan, and when the sandgocks approached again with a sand-turning wheel, he seized the moment to hook the brass ring armor on one of them, and several of his companions managed to do so. He felt himself being dragged down by the sand ghost, and the sudden descent felt like catching an unexpected fish and being dragged down, except that instead of the water, he sank into the endless desert.

The further he sank into the sand, the thinner the air became, and his body's senses became less sensitive, so he could only subconsciously grab the "prey" he had caught and fight with him under the sand.

Due to the resistance of the sand, his movements were slowed down accordingly, and it was not easy to spread his hands and feet. And the sand ghost is obviously more adapted to this type of combat than him, and its body seems to be not affected by the resistance at all and still moves freely.

The situation of his companions was not much better, it was physically exhausting to entangle with these monsters for too long, and they soon wanted to return to them to breathe.

The blue scorpion gradually began to feel suffocated, but he didn't want to give up, he made a bold decision, simply dragged the other party to the sand all at once, but this required a great risk, because in the current situation, if he could not successfully drag the other party out, he was likely to lose to it completely due to physical exhaustion, and even die under the yellow sand.

He couldn't help but wonder if he would become one of these sand ghosts at that time, and then he felt that his thoughts were really ridiculous, and his mood became relaxed. He imagined that he was at the moment when he was about to suffocate in the deep sea, but he was finally able to break out of the sea, and he was only one step away from being able to breathe the air that he had not seen for a long time, and then cast a scorpion tail swing on the bottom of the sand with a demonic technique, throwing the sand ghost upward, and he himself rushed with this upward force.

After breaking through the layers of sand, the dazzling sunlight finally appeared, and he had never liked this kind of light and heat from the sun so much as he did at this moment. And not far from him, it was the sand ghost who was dragged up by him, the monster was not too big, and its whole body was wrapped in dense copper rings, and it was impossible to see its original face.

It was still trying to sink into the sand and escape, but the scorpion would let it do what it wanted, and he grabbed the long braid at the back of his head and dragged the monster in the direction of the large group. Behind him, one after another warriors of the Scorpion Demon Clan imitated his way, dragging out the prey they had just hooked.
