Chapter 57: Friendship
Without the town of Leon, it would undoubtedly be much more painful to enter the Land of the Wild Moon, and with almost no one around Will who could cook a decent meal, this pain would be increased by more than ten times.
The eyes are full of yellow sand and gravel, and the desolation is boundless. The sun is blazing, the heat is steaming, and being in the middle of it is like being in a steamer, and it is extremely hot.
The land of the barren moon is vast, and the climate of this sandy land is abnormal, with very hot during the day and bitter cold at night, with a temperature difference of dozens of degrees between day and night. In a word, it's not a place for people.
Will nibbled on the dry and astringent black bread, like chewing wax, step by step in the sand, and walked forward with difficulty.
He raised his head, glanced at the dim sunlight, untied the kettle around his waist, took a sip of water, felt the wetness in his throat, and felt much better.
Water, the most mundane but most important resource in the Land of the Wild Moon, is a big problem for the average adventurer. But as a high-level magician, it is easy to obtain, and a mid-level water purification technique can be obtained
Although the water element in the Land of the Wild Moon is scarce, there will always be crowding.
The problem that bothered Will was not the supply, but the location of the foreign trading strongholds given in the system map.
Will searched for days near the points marked on the map, but found not a single piece of debris.
Will is surrounded by a legendary magician, a fallen god, and even a giantess. However, basic powers like scouts are so lacking that things like exploring maps have to be done yourself.
At this moment, Rommel is preparing for the Chamber of Commerce in the Duchy of Navarre, the giantess Bestra is training the baby frost giant who is more than ten feet high, and Ave is in the pain of a curse that comes on time every month and is sleeping.
The sun was in full bloom, but there was a buzzing sound in my ears.
Just as Will thought he was hallucinating, the voice was getting louder and louder, as if something was coming towards him.
Will used a levitation technique, temporarily held in mid-air, and looked at the sand that stretched into mounds in the distance, and the sand and dust were like water, constantly separating to both sides, like a big fish sailing across the sea, stirring up huge dust waves.
"This is a sandworm?"
Will once read about this monster in books, living in the depths of the desert, feeding on the rhizomes of plants, and controlling sand like a fish in water. In the Warcraft class in Nibelungen, the professor also showed specimens of this Warcraft, but the largest did not exceed one meter.
However, looking at the earth-shattering sand waves on the sand at this moment, such a huge sandworm, it was the first time Will had seen it.
The giant sandworm didn't seem to notice Will floating in mid-air, and drove past Will's feet and headed off into the distance.
"Where does this giant sandworm want to go?"
Will muttered, slowly following.
The giant sandworm does not wander aimlessly in the desert, Will can clearly see from the air, what is it looking for in the desert with a purpose?
After following for a while, the giant sandworm seemed to have discovered something, and its tail, several meters long, poked out of the sand, swirled, and then disappeared into the sand. Then, the giant sandworm began to sprint forward.
Will watched from mid-air, and not long after he walked forward, the body of the giant sandworm was like a speeding ship crashing into an iceberg, and it was inexplicably struck.
A ripple flashed in the void air, and soon calm returned.
"Enchantment!"
The giant sandworm seemed to have recovered from its stun, but instead of fleeing, it slammed into the invisible barrier even more frantically.
Bang bang!
The head of the giant sandworm was very hard, and with the impact again and again, the barrier began to twist and fold, like a layer of dehydrated Yui, and the barrier was about to be broken by the giant sandworm.
Four or five gray-black bears leapt out from behind the barrier and slammed into the sandworm's bare body, deflecting the angle of its attack to prevent the barrier from taking the final blow of destruction.
Then, dozens of archers stepped out of the barrier and began shooting at the giant sandworm.
"This is an elf?"
The appearance of those dozens of archers was not much different from that of humans, but the long pointed ears revealed their identity.
Elven archers are a well-known long-range class on the continent, far surpassing their human counterparts in terms of rate of fire and range. Moreover, the elves are able to attach elemental magic and natural magic to the arrows, increasing the power of the arrows exponentially.
Dense long arrows pierced the giant sandworm's body, and its slime-stained mouth let out a loud wail, and then plunged headlong into the sand.
"The wisdom of this giant sandworm is not low, isn't it?"
The giant sandworm suffered a big loss, and was obviously unwilling to fight with a dry elf on the sand again, but instead started a surprise battle.
The elf's reaction is not unpleasant, but it is obviously no match for the patience and flexibility of the sandworm hidden in the depths of the sand.
The gray-black bears had regained their human form, and the druids on the sand commanded the elven archers behind them to keep them out of their protective range.
Druids who can turn into giant bears are formidable melee warriors, but it can be difficult to protect elven archers on the unprotected sand.
The giant sandworm protruded from the ground without warning, and if it weren't for a druid's alertness and timely impact, several archers would have been caught in the mouth of the giant sandworm.
Rao was like this, and several of the elven archers were also seriously injured.
The attack of the giant sandworm began to highlight the effect, and the elven archers began to be injured one after another, even those rough-skinned and thick-skinned druids, who were also wounded and not so comfortable.
"The elven trading stronghold 'Naya' has discovered that the current relationship is unfamiliar!"
At this time, the sound of the system sounded in Will's ears.
A bolt of lightning flashed and struck the giant sandworm that had leapt over the sand. The giant sandworm wriggled its body and suffered the impact of the lightning lock, and fell to the ground with a whimper, charred and black.
"What a powerful thunderbolt magic!"
One of the druids muttered as he looked at the corpse of a giant sandworm lying on the ground.
Will slowly floated down from the air, landed on the sand, looked at the stunned elves, and bowed.
"The Holy Spirit of Nature bears witness to the deplorable Will Schumacher that it is a great honour to be here today in a great elven stronghold. ”
"Human, what is your purpose?"
The elves looked at Will, their faces full of wariness.
"Coming for friendship!"
Will smiled slightly, the expression on his face extremely sincere.
"Human friendship is dangerous and stupid. But in return for your deliverance of our Naya, I can take you to our elders!"
A druid walked up to the barrier and waved his hand, opening a hole.
A cool breeze blew from the mouth of the barrier and blew on Will's body, and a feeling of comfort suddenly spread throughout his body.
