Chapter 659: Sand Ray Transit
At ten o'clock in the evening, Les's team left the city before curfew, and Kailot relied on August's intelligence to follow behind, according to the map route, it would take more than half a day before this place officially entered the Salaha Desert, and it was very likely that Les and others would stop in the town outside Salaha for the last supply.
Entering the desert has never been a thing that can be done at will, it is true that the strength of the professionals can make them ignore most of the desert dangers, and there are space scrolls, as long as the materials are ready, it is impossible to be in short supply, but the camels that travel and other high-power searchlights that are similar to those used in the search for ruins are indispensable, and now they take taxis because this is still within the city limits, and when they enter the desert, driving will cause some unnecessary trouble, and there are not only some poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in the desert in this world。
Tracking is a technical job, you can't be too far away from the target, it's easy to lose the target, you can't get too close to the target, it's easy to be exposed, you can only hang forward and backward, keep it at a safe distance and monitor at the same time, the thought of this state has to continue until Les and the others find the ruins, Kylot has a headache.
However, it turned out that the tracking skills of Black Chess and the others were not bad, and there was no incident all night, and there was no notification of any special circumstances on the communicator, until the next morning, when Kailot stepped into the small town outside the desert----- Sandstone.
The map marks that this town is one of the few towns outside the Salaha Desert that can provide comprehensive supplies for professionals, if you want to enter the Salaha Desert through this route to adventure, normally you have to supply here, basically the equipment you need to use is sold in the market here, and even if you are willing to spend money, you can directly get a full set of services, you don't need to find it yourself, the market will let people pull complete sets of equipment, and after years of operation, it has already formed a mature enough industrial chain here.
However, Kylot didn't enjoy anything, not that he didn't give money, but that he didn't see anyone when he stepped into the town...... It's not an exaggeration, it's that Kylot really didn't see anyone, and the whole town was so desolate that even the whistling of the wind through the rooms could be heard.
The eerie sense of desolation, looking at the empty scene around him, Kailott frowned and continued to walk inside, such a big town, he didn't believe that there would be no trace, what happened to make the entire town disappear......
Toot ~ Toot ~ Click!
"Are there any people in Sandstone?"
"How?"
"Get out of here, I just found a sign outside the town, the sand rays have crossed the border in the past few days! This town is right on their route, no matter who the town is, get out of there, find a place to hide outside, don't try to get into the houses on both sides, the sand rays are not civilized monsters, there should be no one in the town now, right?
Auguste's words were unusually anxious, which made Kylot quickly understand the seriousness of the situation, in fact, he had seen a similar warning sign when he came in from the outside, but because the tide was running too fast, he only glanced at it, and did not pay much attention to the content on it.
"Got it, I'll get out right away...... It seems to be late. ”
As soon as Kailot put away the communicator, the ground under his feet shook violently, and on the other side of the town, the yellow sand seemed to be surging from the sea, obscuring the sky.
Woo!!
The tidal current on its shoulder jumped to the ground and went straight into a fighting stance, and it felt a great threat!
At the moment when the sand waves subsided, the sunlight in the sky did not fall again, and Kailott looked up, Rao had seen many deep-sea monsters, and he was still deeply shocked by the scene in front of him!!
"Moo~~"
In the roar that resembles a cow's roar, under the deep blue sky, there are more than a dozen giant beasts soaring over Sandstone Town, among which the larger one is conservatively estimated to be more than thirty meters in size, and Kailot's eyes widened, confirming that its appearance is like an enlarged version of a sea ray, but this monster is definitely not a good stubble!
Facial ...... towards the ground Or there is a large mouth with sharp teeth on the abdomen, and a large amount of sand and dust brought up by the fins on both sides when they beat directly in this small area to blow a huge sandstorm, and occasionally you can see the surface scales similar to armor and the large brown bone spurs on its back that rush to the sky, and the scale armor dragged behind it wrapped around the tail is shining in the sun, it is like the ruler of the desert, cruising in this special area, and the living retreat!
Sand rays, a giant beast, a special species, are named because they resemble sea rays and only live in desert areas, and Warcraft scientists generally believe that this creature has some kind of special connection with the rays in the ocean, but from the moment the monster's ancestors climbed onto land, its evolutionary tree is not a matter of pointing, but bursting......
Sand ray, alias: Desert Reaper, cruising the sand sea, is a taboo creature in large desert areas such as the Salaha Sea, and the strength of adult sand rays generally reaches the third order, why is it called the Desert Reaper? Because the third-order demonic beasts in other deserts are generally alone and have a strong sense of territory, they basically won't move after taking root somewhere, but this sand ray is just like the talent tree they ignited, they have to work against the rules of nature, this kind of guy lives in groups and runs around in various areas of the entire desert all day long, and other third-order demonic beasts occupy their own territory and live comfortably, they are good, wherever they go, where is their territory, it is simply ...... Lord it over!
Speaking of conscience, maybe the heavens see that this race is a little disrupted, so the strength of the single-headed sand ray is not strong, it belongs to the middle and lower in the third order, but it can't stand the large number of them, in the desert area is surrounded by more than ten or twenty sand rays, the strong below the Pure Spirit and the demonic beasts below the fourth order, there is almost no possibility of head-on confrontation, if you are unlucky, you will encounter a group with overlord-level rays, and the Pure Spirit will not be able to bear it!
Fortunately, the movement of these sand rays is huge, and their huge size can be seen from a distance of several kilometers, no wonder the residents of Sand and Stone Town run fast, what can they do if they don't run?
Standing in the middle of the road, Kailott watched a sand ray fly over his head, burrow into the land on the other side, and once again stir up a wave of earth while destroying half of the street effortlessly, and he clearly felt the killing intent in the next moment, he didn't want to go against these sand rays, but these guys were extremely sensitive to him, where can pure earth monsters be friendly to Kailot, who exudes the aura of water elements all over his body?
Moo~Moo~
The roars in the air became more and more frequent, and at this time, the pupils in the huge eyes of the sand rays that happened to fly above Kellot's head turned down, and the huge tail pulled down with the sand and dust in the sky, first landed, dragging a deep ravine on the ground, straight to Kellot, and the other sand rays reacted in the same way, these sharp and thick tails formed an iron hedge to cut through the street, trapping the target in the middle.
"If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't suitable to reveal your identities now, I would have to press you down one by one......"
Of course, Kairot is not afraid of these monsters, just now he sensed the aura of the creatures around him, there is no fourth-order sand ray, if he really fights, these monsters may not be able to do anything to him, but entanglement with them here is not any benefit for Kailot, and it is easy to expose himself, so he can only choose to evacuate quickly.
Riding on the tide, bursting out with all his might, one man and one leopard quickly exited Sandstone Town, and looking back, you can still see a large number of sandrays cruising over the area where Sandstone Town is located, because of their appearance, the violent earth element has surrounded that area, creating a small sandstorm covering the entire town.
"It's okay now, no one should think about supplies, and when these guys leave, I don't know how much time it will take to rebuild Sandstone Town!"
This is really a huge accident, who would have thought that the sand rays would not come sooner or later, but at this time, things have happened, there is no dispute that the people of Sandstone Town must have withdrawn in advance in order to avoid the sand rays, when they will come back is a question, but in any case, they can't wait here, at the moment Leth's team should have two choices, either return to the city, find a way to rest and set off again, this will waste a lot of time, back and forth, and a whole day, but it is better to be safe, it is not easy to have an accident, or go into the desert head-on, and go directly to find the ruins。
Bang!
Kailott took out a camera from a space scroll in his hand to record the scene in front of him, and although he didn't like the sand rays very much, it was indeed very spectacular to watch the sand rays soar so closely.
Speaking of taking pictures, Kylot is going to make a photo album to record the big scenes he has seen over the years, and when he is old, he will not have no basis when he talks about these things with his children.
Toot ~ snap!
"Team Les is not staying, they have entered the desert, I will send the location to your communicator, follow the location later, and keep in touch at any time...... No one is trapped in the sand rays, can anyone hear it?"
This communicator is a one-to-many communicator, August has the switchboard in his hand, and he can choose to send group messages or contact individually, while Kailot and the other demon contractors can only communicate in groups, which is to prevent them from reaching any agreements in private.
"No problem, I'm taking pictures, don't worry, I won't be left behind", after saying that, he hung up the phone, summoned the water element to control the spar camera, and ran to the camera lens with the tide: "Let's take a picture together, it proves that we took it." ”
When the location on the communicator is sent, press the button on the side, and a small circle activates on the surface of the communicator, and then shows that there is a red dot moving in the southeast.
The current time is noon, the hottest time in the Salaha Desert, the churning heat wave on the surface and the sand dust blown by the sand ray crossing make people uncomfortable, not long after officially entering the desert, Kailot took out the aquamarine crystal ball he bought in the trading house yesterday from the space scroll, one for himself, one for the tide, at least to ease the temperature around him.
Without camels and other means of transportation, you have to walk into the Salaha Desert, walking between sand dunes, and those who have no experience in desert travel will quickly lose their way.
With his high boots on the sand, Kylott glanced at the location after a few minutes to make sure he was tracking the direction he was tracking, and Auguste would make a plenary call every half hour to make sure everyone was going smoothly and that they didn't fall behind.
This situation was maintained until the sun was about to set, and only half of the red sun was left on the horizon, and the scenery was extremely beautiful, but Kailott was not in the mood to see it, and he was very disgusted with the desert where the fire and earth elements were extremely rich in the desert, so such a scene could only attract him for a short time.
A few minutes ago, August sent a message from the communicator, indicating that the other party had stopped moving, presumably to rest, Les and the others were not robots, and Kailot felt a little tired from an afternoon of trekking, not to mention them, August asked the demon contractors to find a place to rest and watch the status of the anchor at any time.
Maybe it would be more convenient to act at night? Indeed, according to the logic of normal people, they definitely don't want to run around with such a big sun, the night in the desert is cold and cold, compared to the high temperature in the daytime, it must be much more comfortable, and the bright stars in the sky look better than a big fireball, right?
However, at the same time that the natural environment of the desert at night is improving, it is not only humans who are willing to come out, if you really want to count, human beings are still outsiders, the aborigines here are active during this time, and the ability of the monsters to survive in the harsh environment of the desert is also not to be underestimated, and no one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes under their feet at night, and they have not been able to get supplies in Sandstone Town, and there is nothing in the team for emergencies, in case they are bitten by a highly poisonous snake, the professional can indeed fight correctly, but they are fatally poisoned, and the gap between them and ordinary people is only a few more seconds。
It was the idea of the Les men to suffer during the day and walk steadily rather than risk it at night, and Kelot was happy to rest, and by the light of the moon, he was lucky enough to find a place near a sandy slope where a few trees grew, which had long since dried up completely, which was what Kelot wanted.
The tide was shaving for a while, and it was going back and forth for a while, and Kailot didn't stop it, and the place was facing away from where Les and the others were, and even if it was a fire, it wouldn't be detected, even if he wasn't going to make a fire.
Kairot had seen some information about desert monsters on the Warcraft Illustrated Book, and when he walked around here just now, he found traces left by sawtooth sandworms on the ground, this large Warcraft has no eyes, and it itself relies on the sense of heat to come out to hunt at night, and he doesn't want to light a bonfire to guide the other party.
