Chapter 19: Sharing Food

Magellan still finds it all incredible. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A tidal wave of pain in his chest pulled his mind from reality to some unknown space, and in the intervening moments, the thought of "this impossible" flashed through his mind as if it were a sudden realization.

No one can run after a fish in the sand, just as it is obvious that a fish cannot swim in the sand.

"Whatever. ”

Magellan threw this thought away in an instant, and ran towards the fishtail so that it would not leave his sight.

He likes it.

Then the fishtail stopped wagging its way.

Magellan almost hit the countess on the shoulder, and he put one hand on the side of the big fish's body, stopping the momentum of the forward rush.

"How?"

The countess did not throw out her long whip.

She slowly took two steps forward, then watched as blood oozed from the sand.

The big fish's body shook a little, and then disappeared behind the sand.

Magellan raised his sword, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: this time it was not a big fish that would easily follow Thoth's left arm.

Then the heads of two fish flashed in the circular space.

They were two fish much smaller than the one earlier, but in the mouth of one of them, Magellan saw Thoth's left hand.

His arms are faster than his head.

Almost as soon as he saw the severed arm, the long sword in Magellan's hand stabbed out towards the big fish, piercing the big fish's head like lightning, and splashing bright red blood.

Magellan felt that he was cutting a dead body, and that filled him with frustration.

With nothing in its eyes, the big fish quietly and quickly lost its life, leaving behind a corpse that would occasionally twitch.

Then another big fish turned around and rushed over.

The countess dodged the big fish rushing with the sand, and took the kitten in her arms, so that it could avoid the rain of dust.

Magellan didn't see the big fish writhing through the hollow in the sand, he just swung his long sword and slashed at the big fish's head, and the huge force made the big fish deviate from its original goal, rushed into the sand, and crashed into the body of another big fish.

The countess took two steps back, dodging the carcass of the large fish that smashed into her head, and at the same time, Magellan grabbed Thoth's left arm.

"Let's go!"

Magellan ran after the countess, and for a moment he wondered why Helen was in a hurry to leave, but after a moment had passed, he was not surprised.

The sand is stirring.

Something too big for them to resist is arriving, maybe a giant monster that can swallow a sea of sand, maybe a tide of beasts that can drown all the dunes, but in any case, they have their goal, and there is no need to stay and face a difficult opponent.

Magellan struggled to pull the god's left arm to his shoulder, and as he held it, the golden knife in the god's hand stabbed him in the chest, adding to the wound.

A big fish flashed through the sand.

It was a small, fine-sized fish, especially considering that it had such a huge body, and the scales of this large flat fish were exaggeratedly small.

The large fish's body remained on the sand wall with circular holes for a considerable period of time, apparently because of its slender body, or because it had been trying to get close to the two running wildly.

Magellan's mind went blank, and countless absurd ideas bubbled up like soap bubbles, then shattered and disappeared into thin air, but in the midst of this, there was always one thought lingering - they were about to be overtaken.

The side of another large fish appeared, and the huge cyan scales on it reflected the light, and the sand landed on it with a soft crunch.

"Hurry up. ”

The countess snatched the oil lamp from Magellan's hand and freed his awkward left hand.

"There's no need to waste time. ”

As Helen said this, Magellan was looking up as the white belly of a large fish slid over the hollow, rolling with the sand below, and was pushed back by some invisible force halfway down.

He didn't hide his thoughts, and Magellan felt that this unsuspecting fish belly was a good target.

They continued to run forward, with walls of sand in front of them, and around them the scales and fins of all sorts of large fish.

"Why don't they attack us?"

The countess laughed.

Finally, they rushed out of the ground, and the blinding sunlight of the desert robbed them of their sight in an instant.

"Meow!"

The kitten's cry was full of warning, and Magellan almost subconsciously raised his sword.

Then he heard the sound of something parting the sand.

It was the sound of a large and graceful fish, like a whale wagging its tail leisurely on the surface of the sea, and the sound of the sand and waves parting was slow and elegant.

Finally Magellan adapted to the intense light.

Then he saw the dorsal fin of the big fish that parted the sand waves and swam gracefully.

It was a group of giant monsters with their dorsal fins as tall as flags, casting long shadows over the dunes.

"What are they waiting for?"

The countess took Thoth's left hand from Magellan's hand and walked towards the flying boat.

"We don't have a lot of time. She said as she took out the golden box and placed the remains of the god inside. "Ready to run for your life?"

"No......," Magellan remembered the camel he had ridden when he came, "and we need time to prepare." ”

The countess seemed to want to say something, but Magellan didn't have time to listen.

What the monsters were waiting for appeared, and it was a tide.

Fish of all sizes burst out of the sand, scales of various colors reflecting the harsh rays of the sun, merging into a lake.

Magellan began to swing his sword.

Every fish looked at him with the eyes of its prey, even before he died.

Every now and then, a small fish will find a gap and rush to him, and then be smashed into a pulp.

Blood stained Magellan, and the dunes around him were piled up with corpses, which stared at him with hungry eyes.

Magellan was standing in the pouring rain, and he used his sword to kill every raindrop that tried to get close to him.

He likes it.

Silver, cyan, black, gray, fine-scaled, scaleless, carapace-like, flat-mouthed, fanged, huge-mouthed, elongated, flat, round, countless large fish burst out of the sand, each of them a terrifying monster with only the desire to hunt in its eyes.

But they were greeted with death.

Blood flows across the dunes, and fish scales break down the sunlight, reflecting brilliant gradient colors, like a lake sparkling in the bright sun.

The huge fins are still swimming away from Magellan, but they are moving faster and faster.
