Chapter 105: Desert Earthworm (1)
Three bags of water, a large bag of jerky, and a long wooden stick, these were all the supplies that Leach had before setting out for the Desert of Death.
After a night of revelry, most of the self-aware young men knew that the daughter of the god had nothing to do with them, and had already found the girl they liked, so when they set out in the morning, many girls gathered on the edge of the Death Desert to see their sweethearts participate in this sacred trial.
At the bonfire, Kumar was actually invited by many girls, but he refused them one by one. Leach originally thought that he already had a sweetheart, so he didn't mince words about other girls, but Kumar said that now he was thinking about how to make the Windlord tribe stronger, and he didn't want to fall in love, so Leachy scolded him for being hypocritical.
You said that you gave such a high-sounding reason, can you be serious, what does it mean to squeeze your eyebrows, it is obvious that you don't look down on those girls, and at the same time you are complacent!
But no matter how Leach knocked on the side, he just couldn't get the words out of Kumar's mouth, the only thing he knew was that this kid did have a goal, but who it was, he was tight-lipped and said that it would be revealed when the trial came back, which made Leach hate it but helpless.
In order to avoid a large-scale fight in the first place, the contestants of the various tribes spread out into the Desert of Death. And even if it's from the same tribe, not all of them set off together, most of them are in groups of two or three.
During the trial, the most dangerous are not the monsters and beasts that live in the desert, but the competitors of other tribes. If there are a large number of people, they can take care of each other, but if they are ambushed by other tribes, there is a high risk that they will be wiped out, so except for those tribes with a small number of participants, all the contestants from other tribes are scattered in order to increase the survival rate.
Leach had always wondered what the purpose of the stick he had given them was, but seeing that everyone was taking it for granted, he held back for a moment and did not ask Kumar until he could no longer see the crowd of people who were seeing them off.
"This stick is for pathfinding. We won't need it for the time being, because the edge of the Death Desert rarely has those poisons, but deeper you will find that there are traps everywhere, and if you don't use this stick to explore and move forward, you will most likely be bitten, and then you will not only lose the qualification, but also lose your life. ”
"Poison, do you mean the sand scorpion that bit Lena?" When he heard the word "poison", the first thing that came to Leach was the culprit who had caused Lena to remain unconscious.
"Sand scorpions can barely be counted as one of them. ”
Listening to Kuma's tone of disapproval, Leach continued to ask, "Why do you say that, isn't the sand scorpion the thing we need to watch out for the most?"
"That's true. In fact, the hiding location of the sand scorpion is very easy to confirm, and there will be sand scorpion lurking in the shaded place, so there is basically no need to be careful. ”
"And what is this stick used to explore?"
"Could it be...... Desert earthworm?" Because it is inconvenient to move in armor in the desert, Saya is just wearing a light practice uniform, and after hearing Leach's question, Saya said in a very uncertain tone.
Kumar looked surprised: "So you know, I thought you were coming to the Death Desert for the first time! That's right, this stick is mainly used to detect the presence of desert earthworms." ”
Seeing that Leach was also looking at him with a surprised gaze, Saya hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's indeed the first time I've been to the Death Desert, and the reason why I know about the desert earthworm is just by chance to see a little bit of relevant information." ”
"That's right, then Saya, tell me what this desert earthworm is, it's the first time I've heard of it, is this guy so difficult?" Although he learned a lot of Warcraft knowledge from Wright, Leach had never heard of any desert earthworms, so he was very curious and urged Saya to introduce him.
"I don't know much, I only know that the desert earthworm is a very difficult kind of magical beast in the desert, let Kumar say, he should know better. ”
Seeing that the ball was kicked back again, Kumar had to clear his throat and said: "The desert earthworm is a large fleshy insect that lives under the gravel, and it is usually in a static state, which is difficult to detect. In the place where it hides, the sand will become extraordinarily soft, like quicksand, and once you are in it, it will be pulled down little by little, and finally become a delicacy in the belly of the desert earthworm. ”
"Isn't this a gluttonous beast!" said Leach after listening to Kumar's introduction.
"Gluttony, I've never heard of it before!" said Kumar had heard of the new term for the first time.
Originally, Leach thought that Saya would show a sudden expression of realization after hearing him talk about the Glutton, but unexpectedly, Saya's name Gluttony was also very unfamiliar.
"Kuma, let me ask you, is the desert earthworm you are talking about very stout, like a big round ball, usually hiding underground, exuding fragrance through exposed antennae to attract prey, even if it dies, it will not move its nest, right?"
"Not true. Kumar shook his head without hesitation and said, "I said it's a desert earthworm, since it's an earthworm, it must be very long, how can it be like a ball? And the desert earthworm is not the kind of fool you said that it can't move places, the movement speed of the desert earthworm in the sand and gravel is not only not slow, but also very fast, but usually in order to save energy, it usually does not move at will." ”
Knowing that he had made a big oolong, Leach looked very embarrassed: "Hehe, I was mistaken, I was wondering just now, I have only heard of gluttonous beasts in the swamp, and I have never heard of them in the desert, so I was confused." ”
After saying that, Leach bowed his head and hurried away without speaking, and it was better to listen more and talk less about things he did not understand.
The same barren scenes of the desert and the heat of the weather can easily make people break down, and in order not to go insane, the three of them chatted all the way, and after the initial embarrassment, Leach joined the conversation again.
Thankfully, the tail feathers that I got from Bingluan before came in handy here. From the moment he entered the Death Desert, Leach felt a refreshing coolness emanating from the tail feathers on his chest, isolating the scorching heat in the desert and making the original cookie-cutter scenery seem less boring.
