Chapter 272: Sand Walker
The desert and the ocean are two completely different realms, but in the eyes of Muen, who has just come from the ocean, there seem to be many similarities between the two, such as the same moodiness, like a virgin when quiet, and a doomsday tornado when angry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Another example is the same vastness, in which you can see the same scenery at a glance, and you can't tell where you are.
The next day, before dawn, the group of three had already entered the desert.
Tog's chosen means of transportation is a white tripledan camel, similar to a camel, but larger, with three humps, which can be drunk in large quantities for a month, has great stamina, and has a unique ability to find water in the desert.
The three men carried twelve white tripoded camels, laden with all kinds of necessities, food, and a large pile of water bladders.
If Torge's first impression of Muen was cautious, the kind of rigorous style of doing things left after too many years and stories, then after entering the desert, he showed his rich experience in desert survival and wild combat effectiveness.
The desert is endless, and the most fearful thing is to lose its way, and sometimes, when the wind blows, the sand dunes reach there, but Tog can locate it just by feeling the wind or looking at the stars in the sky.
The desert is not completely devoid of water, and there are often dark rivers underground, and although the twelve tripled camels carry enough water bladders to thrift to reach their destination, Tog is still cautious to replenish along the way, and requires each person to carry a water bladder with him.
Although the desert looks dull and silent, it is not lifeless, especially under the sand sea, there are all kinds of strange monsters. The route Torgue took was never a straight line, and everywhere he went, he would explain to the two of them what kind of demonic beast's territory this area was, and draw an arc to avoid it.
In this wild place, the three of them actually walked out peacefully for a day, and after going deep into the desert for a hundred miles, they encountered a wave of desert marching ants besieging them for the first time.
These ant-like monsters, which are at least the size of babies, have steel-like skin, gastric juice that can digest sand, and an infinite number of them.
As soon as the wind blew, the dim yellow sand swept in, looking ordinary, but when I got closer, I found that they were all dense and countless desert marching ants, there were too many of them, and the speed was also fast, even if Mu En thought that his strength was not weak, but he still did not have the certainty of rushing out.
However, Tog had already prepared for it, and he surrounded the city with twelve white tricenderian camels, and scattered some strange light blue crystals on the periphery.
When the desert marching ant approached, he threw the flint directly at it.
At that moment, the crystals ignited when they met the fire, like a circle of flame magma sprayed from the ground, and the smoke and ash drifted away, which smelled very good, but the desert marching ants were excited and raged in this smoke.
Within a radius of a kilometer, the desert marching ants began to kill each other, like enemies of life and death, and did not die until an hourglass later, after a crisp hiss, all the marching ants quickly left, leaving only the corpses in one place.
Afterwards, Mu En learned that the desert marching ants were the absolute hegemon of the sage desert, but they were only afraid of a kind of wormwood breath, and that light blue crystal was the powder crystals refined by wormwood, which had little effect on the high-level marching ants, but it could destroy the nerve nodes of ordinary desert marching ants and make them fall into a state of madness.
In the desert, oases are formed in every place where there is abundant water, and each oasis is similar to a city-state, and the ruler will strictly control the number of people to ensure that the carrying capacity of the oasis is not exceeded, and at the same time, the excess population will be driven out of the oasis.
The harsh living environment and the competition for limited resources have led to the development of many sand bandits.
On the evening of the second day, when the three of them came to an abandoned ancient city, they encountered a group of sand thieves whistling by, more than 100 horses, all riding on camels.
It was this time that Muen saw Torge's wild way of fighting.
I saw Torgue wave his hand and stop Mu En, who was about to come forward to help. He ran alone against the sand thieves, and his special way of running made him extremely fast, and the splattered sand formed a golden rain behind him, but when he was about to make contact, his figure suddenly sank into the sand.
Mu En stood on the three-peaked camel behind, his eyes had turned into golden beast pupils, cold, bland, high and penetrating the nine shadows. Under the Dragon's Eye, all of Togue's actions could not escape his gaze, and he actually swam in the sand like a fish.
"Sand Walker, it's actually a Sand Walker!Is Torge's profession actually this?" Muen's tone was a little strange:
Sand Walker is a unique profession of the Sage Desert Academy, with the exclusive skill 'Sand Diving Technique' as the core of the class, it can quickly escape under the sand, extremely fast, and extremely concealed, in the desert, this is an extremely strong profession.
However, this class is also extremely biased and has extremely high requirements for the terrain. Out of the desert, it looks a little chicken.
The moment the battle was engaged, the enemy actually disappeared, which made the sand thieves a little confused.
The leader of the sand thieves is also a well-informed person, and he secretly screamed in his heart, but before he gave the order, he saw a large pit suddenly explode in the pirate group, and countless sand and stones flew sideways, accompanied by the whistle of the scimitar breaking through the air, blood splattered and flew sideways, and the miserable howl was endless.
In just over a dozen breaths, the sand thieves were already in chaos, and at least ten sand thieves and their mounts were dismembered, and blood stained the ground red. After the leader of the sand thieves arrived and confronted Todd several times, Ttall still fell into the sand and fled to a distance of ten meters.
He was still in the way of the sand thieves' charge, two scimitars stuck into the ground, and he didn't look at the sand thieves who were regrouping, but took out the badge of the Sage Desert Sect from his bosom and put it on his chest, and just stood upright.
The sand thieves were instigated, and the leader didn't even say hello, he just turned around and ran, and a group of subordinates behind him followed suit, fleeing quickly.
Mu En almost clapped his hands from behind.
If Tog had taken out the badge of the Sage Desert Sect beforehand, it would not have been enough to make the sand thieves retreat, and they would always think that as long as they killed people, no one would know that I had done it.
On the contrary, Torgue first used thunder to deter, telling the other party that he was not easy to provoke, and no one could stop him if he wanted to leave, and then used the badge to deter, pointing out that he came from a behemoth like the Academy, which was equivalent to telling the other party that if you came again, just wait for the behemoth of the Academy to chase and kill!
This series of actions, in an orderly manner, is not only a manifestation of combat power, but also an understanding and insight into the nature of the sand thieves.
After six days of traveling, it became clear to Muen that the double points spent on hiring a guide were definitely worth it.
If he and Aya rushed into the sea of sand in a daze, even if there were enough resources in the storage bag, they would have to shed their skin if they couldn't die, how could it be as easy as now.
Mu En even had the leisure to ask Aya about the wizard's knowledge system and the knowledge of potion refining. Although he also learned some basic knowledge of wizarding, where did Aya explain it thoroughly.
On the three-peaked camel, after listening carefully for a long time, Mu En leaned to Aya and asked abruptly: "Do you see if my 'Chrono-Temporal Perception Talent' is considered an elemental perception ability?" )
