"I'm curious, what are we doing here now?" Half a day later, sitting in a hollow in the Jesus Desert, Taylor ate roasted elk meat, looking around curiously, there was no living creature in the Jesus Desert, especially now that it was night, the desert temperature would drop rapidly at night, and Selena, who had slept after eating, was covered with a blanket she brought.

He had never mentioned Downing's plans to anyone, staring at the bright flames and the sky full of stars. "You'll find out later. ”

Pulling out some strange pill bottles from his arms, Downing opened them and sniffed the scent released from the pill bottles, this kind of thing is the key next, because it is not easy to find those potential allies, you have to let them show up on their own initiative, and the pill bottles can lead them to appear.

Hilbert looked away from his notebook and looked at the vial in the young man's hand with a suspicious expression.

"My body can't get enough of the climate here, so I brought some medication. Tang Ning handed the medicine bottle up. "If you want to try it too, we can share it. ”

Hilbert pushed his homemade glasses on the bridge of his nose and returned his gaze to his notes, which he always had to write down for future research. "No, my body is not much different from when I was thirty, and I'm used to the climate on this continent. ”

Tang Ning took the medicine bottle back, his fingers flicked, the medicine bottle fell to the ground, quickly seeped into the ground, he picked up the medicine bottle in a panic, the medicine bottle was already empty. "Damn, God is always going to cause you all sorts of trouble. He tossed the vial aside and lay down on the ground, the hot sand and the already cold air forming a sharp line of hot and cold divide.

As the night fell silent, the temperature of the Jesus Desert dropped to its lowest, and a dark desert surface began to shake, and soon a number of figures appeared, huge human-like figures, waving huge pincers to search the ground, making strange noises, apparently summoning companions, and soon more of them emerged from beneath the desert.

The rustling of the ground made it difficult for Taylor to sleep, and she got up and looked at the night around her, the bright light of the fire only lit up the place where they camped, and some figures moved in the darkness.

"Oh my God, what the hell is that?" she screamed, picking Selena up and waking Cybertron up beside her. "Hurry up. ”

Cybertron sat up, staring at the approaching figure in the night, his expression puzzled, the rustling sound on the ground was very clear, it was not the sound of the sand being blown by the wind, and the wind could not have such a dark shadow, he stood up and looked around, almost all of them were like that.

The paladin wanted to wake up the others, and Downing sat up, the corners of his mouth raised, and he also looked at the figures in the dark, as if he had known that these things would appear.

Everyone woke up, the orcs were ready to defend themselves, and Hilbert lay on the ground, listening carefully to the voices, and after a moment of horror, said, "I knew I shouldn't have come here." ”

Taylor asked urgently, "What's going on?"

No one knew better than Hilbert what the voices and the approaching figures meant, and the old man panicked and gathered up his notes and placed them on the monitor lizard's back. "Hurry up, we need to get out of here. ”

Taylor still doesn't know what's going on, but Hilbert's actions and expression mean that she is in danger, and she steps onto the monitor lizard with Selena in her arms.

"It's too late, we're surrounded. Downing sat calmly on the ground, staring at the figures that were already close enough.

Hilbert clutched his head. "Damn, I made the worst decision of my life, these guys are going to tear us all apart, they are cruel and brutal, and they don't make sense at all. ”

Cybertron beside him glanced at Tang Ning and whispered, "You already knew it would be like this, those pill bottles are not potions used to restore and improve physical strength. ”

In fact, those medicine bottles are indeed not a potion to improve physical strength, but a special alchemy potion, which can attract some special creatures to come, and the current situation is what Tang Ning wants to see the most, leaning into the paladin's ear. "Be quiet, and don't let Hilbert hear it, or the plan will fail. ”

At this time, I could already see those approaching figures, which were scorpions, huge scorpions, the size of people, and the surface of the body was black, which represented severe poison, and only a drop of venom could make people die quickly, and there was no antidote.

Taylor had never seen such a huge scorpion before, and exclaimed, "It's unbelievable that these scorpions' giant pincers are the size of our heads." ”

"We've got to get out of here, hurry. Hilbert clung to his materials and yelled at the orcs who were guarding the perimeter.

Once these guys are angered, they don't even have a chance to talk, everyone here will be used as food by these beasts, and Downing heard about these giant scorpions from Uncle Anduin, and stepped forward to stop Dussel who was about to do it. "Lay down your arms, don't resist, we need to talk to them. ”

Cybertron now understands that these guys are Downing's purpose this time, including those low-IQ ogres, and the purpose of this trip is to find credible allies for the orcs of the Blood Clan in the harbor of Blackwater Bay, but these poisonous scorpions don't seem to be credible at all.

"Mr. Hilbert, your expertise comes in handy now, be ready to negotiate. Downing stood in front of the array, staring at the giant scorpion.

All the poisonous scorpions from all directions gathered and surrounded everyone, and Tang Ning searched for the leader of this group of poisonous scorpions, like humans and orcs, poisonous scorpions also have a strict hierarchy, and the way to distinguish them is on their double pincers, and the huge double pincers will have different textures.

Finding the leader of this group of poisonous scorpions, Tang Ning bowed reverently. "Great King of the Desert, salute you. ”

Hilbert was still in deep fear, panicked, and did not translate the sentence, the scorpion was still approaching, and in desperation he lay on the ground and prayed for a rain to drive away these terrible creatures as he had done back then.

The situation was quite urgent, and Tang Ning's forehead was covered with sweat, staring at the scorpion leader who was still approaching. "Hilbert, you want to wait for a rain like this, it's not realistic to escape like you did back then, do what I say, talk to them is our only hope. ”

The sky was clear, there was no sign of rain at all, and Hilbert knew that the young man was right, and hurriedly got up, making strange noises in his throat.

At this time, the leader of the poisonous scorpion shook the giant pincers, and the poisonous scorpions around him stopped, and the leader of the poisonous scorpion also made a strange sound, as if in response to something.

"Well done, Hilbert, what did it say?" Downing was less than three paces away from the scorpion leader, and no one would be spared as long as the scorpion's thick stinger flung at him.

"It says that lowly creatures of two limbs are not worthy to call their leader, the Lord of the Desert. Hilbert hurriedly translated the scorpion leader's response for Downing.

"Telling them that I'm going to meet the Desert King will bring unexpected benefits to their race. "Downing's feet had been sunk deep into the sand because he hadn't moved for a long time, and the inside of the hot sand was like a fire pit, but now any action would be dangerous.

Hilbert relayed the message to the other party, and the scorpion leader responded. "They won't trust the two-limbed creatures, and he's going to kill everyone here for their snack. ”

"King Augusta will be furious at your foolish decision. Downing stared at the scorpion leader. "Unless Oguta has lost his original dream and becomes the true king of the Black Iron Continent. ”

Hilbert had now become a conduit between the two parties, and when this sentence was translated to the scorpion leader, Downing could see that the other party was lost in thought, which meant that the other party began to consider the importance of the matter, and his words worked.

It was only not long before the situation took a turn for the worse, and the scorpion leader gave orders to the surrounding scorpions, who were rapidly approaching, and the encirclement gradually narrowed.

"What did they say?" Downing kept backing away, wary of the other party's tail spur attack.

He said let his companions catch them alive. Hilbert cried out in despair, "I must have wanted to eat us as an after-dinner snack, it tastes better alive, and we're going to die in their lair." ”

Don Rather thinks so. "Dussel, order your men to lay down their arms and not to resist. Düssel was a little puzzled, and did not do so until the young man gave another order.

The scorpions used their huge pincers to lift everyone up and move quickly, and as for where they would go, no one dared to believe that it might be the nest of these poisonous scorpions.

Soon after, the scorpions began to dive in, diving into the scorching sand, Downing's breathing became quite difficult, the heat in the hot sand was very uncomfortable, and his body was almost steamed, obviously, these guys were indeed going to take them to the scorpion's lair.

After about a few blinks, his breathing became smoother, and at the same time, he could smell some damp smell, Tang Ning opened his eyes, and he couldn't see anything in the dark space, but he could hear the sound next to him, it was the sound of the poisonous scorpions moving, this should be the nest of poisonous scorpions.

A crying could be heard in the darkness, coming from Selena, who shouted in a hurry, but to no avail, he was grabbed by the huge double pincers and had a hard time breaking free.

Through the physical sense, you can feel that the poisonous scorpions are still going down, heading deeper into the nest, for a long time, the body was heavily slammed to the ground, and Tang Ning moved his muscles and bones to sit up.

At this time, there was a constant sound of objects falling to the ground, and it was supposed that the others were also put down, until the sound of the scorpions moving completely disappeared, Selena was still crying, and Cybertron was anxiously shouting the girl's name.

Tang Ning took out a crystal ball, and the surrounding environment finally became brighter, surrounded by solid walls, only a huge hole in the front wall, which was obviously the entrance, and the rest of the people looked flustered.

Cybertron saw Selena through the light and took Selena into his arms, Selena broke free and climbed into Taylor's arms, who had just sat up, and the experience was a nightmare for the girl.
