Chapter 9: The Black Sandstorm

In the harshest desert, there is no better place to be in a secret room ten meters underground.

Avoiding the brutal sun, the temperature plummeted, and although it was still hot, it was much better than the furnace-like environment outside, at least within acceptable ranges.

What's more, the Shadow Chasing Team is not unprepared.

Four of the smallest ice spars were tossed into the chamber to let them escape slowly, the energy in the hedrons was enough to keep the small chamber cool, and lying in such a room covered with a thin sheet felt no worse than in the rooms of the taverns in Pavatiga.

Kelly slept comfortably, and for half a day, she basically didn't do anything, even running, Mauria carried her to do it, but even then she still felt very tired. Accustomed to the peaceful life in the temple, suddenly in a lava hellish environment, especially under heavy psychological pressure, from the inside out, she has never been so tired, so that as soon as she entered the secret room and lay down, she had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Not only her, but everyone except for the night watchman slept soundly.

Article 13 of the Shadow Rule, good appetite and sleep are the first elements of successful survival. Shadow chasing requires a lot of energy and physical strength, and without good recovery and replenishment, it will not last for a few days, so every experienced shadow chasing person is an expert in adjusting their mentality, even if they face the current situation of hardship and despair, it will not affect their sleep.

"Whew~~~" A sudden wolf howl shattered the dreams of the shadow chasers, and there was no doubt that it was the wail of the poor white wolf.

The wolf's howl was not clear in the first place, after all, it did not dare to let it enter the secret chamber, but rested directly under the pergola outside with the night watchmen, so its howl was already small through the shaft, as if it were coming from far away.

However, within a few seconds, the wolf howl began to get closer and closer, and it became more and more clear, until the howl was close to the ears with the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Kelly was startled, woke up directly from the dream, sat up suddenly, trying to figure out what was going on, and when she opened it, she found that the shadow-chasers around her who seemed to be sleeping more heavily than her had already woken up, and had already entered the combat state, with weapons in hand, neatly dressed to form a complete combat formation, firmly guarding the passage of the secret room, especially the dwarf Mobuck, who had even entered a huge state, and his body had swelled several times, blocking the entrance.

Although everyone doesn't seem to care much about the white wolf's joining, in fact, no one takes it lightly, including Xiu'er, no one dares to fully believe in this wild and untamed creature, and if it doesn't know when it will bite anyone, everyone reacts as quickly as they hear the wolf howl.

Still, maybe a little mistaken about this unlucky guy.

Although he was blocked out of the secret room, the white wolf had no intention of forcibly rushing in, but as if frightened, he lay on the ground, his tail tightly clamped between his hind legs, curled into a ball and whimpered, and from time to time he let out a threatening roar outside.

"Mia, hurry down. It was Shuer's voice, coming from the shaft, "Don't be nervous, people inside, we'll be in in a moment." ”

"Sealing, fast action, with earth elements. One layer is not enough, one layer apart, at least three layers. ”

Shure spoke quickly, and Mia didn't even have time to speak, only the sound of chanting incantations.

At this moment, everyone heard an extremely sharp hiss, as terrible as the screams of countless people at the same time before they died. Although the shrill hissing sound only lasted for a moment before disappearing, the loud and high-pitched sound had already left a deep impression on everyone.

"Smack", the two fell from the shaft one after the other, pushed into the horizontal passage, as soon as they retreated, Mia knelt down on one knee and patted the ground, and a boulder rose from the ground, blocking the passage tightly.

"It should be safe. Shur shook the sand off his body and kicked at the white wolf, "Just run fast." ”

The white wolf ignored him, and walked to the rising boulder, sniffing it several times at the edge, and then lay down under the stone with confidence, and actually waged his tail like a dog.

"What's the situation?" Mobuck's body shrank back and asked suspiciously, "Is there an enemy or what's wrong?"

"Sandstorms. Shuer said with a solemn face, "It's coming very quickly. ”

It is not surprising that there are sandstorms in the desert, sandstorms are one of the murderers in the desert, many travelers who challenge the desert have lost their supplies under the attack of the sandstorm, lost their way, and finally buried their bones in the desert, at least three of the seven shadow chasers present have personally penetrated the sandstorm center, and the rest have also heard of the notoriety of sandstorms.

However, I had never heard of a sandstorm that could emit such a terrible hissing sound as just now, it was no longer like a mortal sound, but a soul wailing from the depths of the underworld.

"Well, it's no ordinary sandstorm. Knowing that everyone was confused, Shul added, "I've never seen a sandstorm so fast, and besides, the sandstorm I just saw was black. ”

Sandstorm is a strong wind carrying a large amount of yellow sand to form a wall of wind and sand raging between heaven and earth, the color should naturally be the golden yellow of the sand itself, no one has ever seen a black desert, let alone a black sandstorm.

"Got everything in order and was ready to leave at any time. After checking the hiding space to make sure there were no mistakes, Shul waved everyone back to the center of the secret room and sat down, explaining in detail, "Just now Mia and I were on the last shift, everything was normal, the sun was setting to the south, the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was about to fall into the night. ”

"I thought that I would be able to spend the day so peacefully today, but no one expected that not long after the sun sank to the horizon, a sharp wind suddenly sounded in the distance. It was already dark outside, so neither of us could see the black sandstorm in the distance, and it wasn't until it was within two or three kilometers that we suddenly realized it. ”

"It's not like the two of us found out. Mia added expressionlessly, "It was the wolf who warned first." ”

"Well, it is, and if it hadn't suddenly started spinning in place agitatedly, it might have taken us a little longer to spot the sandstorm by sound, but with its warning, we watched carefully to make sure the danger was near. ”

"Compared to this place, the sandstorm in Pavatiga is like a child's game, the sandstorm just now, the height is hundreds of meters, and there is no border to be seen on the left and right, it is like a black city wall pressing over. Judging by the speed at which it is moving, the power of this sandstorm is probably quite amazing. ”

"Mia, you should stay in time. ”

"That's nature, it's been left back when the camp was set up. "Everyone knows it's talking about Mia's mage eyes. The mountain elf took out a mirror and rubbed it on the surface for a moment, and the mirror and the mage's eye were successfully connected, showing what the mage's eye saw.

It was pitch black, and the mage's eyes saw nothing but pitch blackness, as if the world had fallen into absolute darkness. However, if you look closely, it is not a real lightless environment, and occasionally there is a hazy light that penetrates from the outside world, but it is only blocked by countless gravel.

Although the field of vision is very dark, as long as you stick close enough, you can still see something, through the influence of the mirror, you can barely see that the sand particles are constantly being swept up by the wind, joining the sandstorm team, the ground is decreasing layer by layer at a perceptible speed, if it is not deep enough, maybe you have to worry about the safety of the secret room.

"The wind speed is too fast, two or three kilometers away, at most ten seconds, it is already in front of you. Shure pointed to the scene in the mirror, "I've never seen such a strong wind. ”

Just kidding, how could there be such a big wind. While common sense tells everyone that this is unlikely, no one intends to question Shul and Mia's judgment, and it is impossible for the two to exaggerate on such an issue.

"Miridy, let's do a test. ”

"How many?"

"One is enough, can you find a place in this environment?"

"It's difficult, but it shouldn't be a problem, let me see, well, flat chest, turn the perspective fifteen degrees to the left. ”

Mia turned the perspective in the mirror expressionlessly, as for whether she would retaliate against the title flat chest, that would be a matter for later.

The Mage's Eye is indeed a very convenient magic, this magic does not really make an eye to look around through the gaze, but to make a receiver to receive all the scenes in the area, and the connected mirror can show the situation at any point in the range, which is much more convenient than looking with the eye.

"Stop, it should be here, push forward ten meters, yes, yes, push two more meters, right here, enlarge the picture a little more, bigger it, can it be bigger? Ha, I know you're not going to grow anymore." ”

The mouth kept taunting, but Miridi didn't delay her business, as the dark energy in her body surged, the sand on the ground suddenly broke, and a rabbit-shaped skeleton emerged from under the sand.

However, the undead lasted less than a second in the wind before they were torn apart. That's right, it wasn't lifted away, it wasn't blown apart, but it was directly stirred into pieces by the sand and gravel carried by the wind, and when it was swept away by the wind, it was no longer possible to see that it was originally a white bone.

"Hey, this wind is really weird. Unable to mourn for her little pet, Miriday's eyes widened in exclamation. She knew her summon very well, although this rabbit was small, it was the creation of a genuine necromancy, and its bone strength was far greater than that of ordinary white bones, and it couldn't even last a few seconds, if it was a physical body...... The necromancer seemed to have seen the separation of flesh and blood.

"If you have a shield, maybe you can hold on a little longer. Mia looked at Mobuck, "You should have lasted longer than we did, but I don't think it will last much." ”

"This is not normal, there must be other energy properties in the wind, such as penetration or tearing, otherwise even at this speed, it should not be so powerful. Shure stared at the ever-changing, ever-changing scene in the mirror, "I just hope that this wind won't last long." ”

"Wait!" Moria jumped on the spot suddenly, "Did you see that just now?"

"See. Several people looked at each other, "There seems to be something in the wind." ”
