Act Sixty-Seven: Sand Ghosts I

The Scar Merchant and Keno Delson find a remote camp to discuss the key.

Women and a handful of soldiers also crowded in, and the camp, which was already small, was even more cramped now.

"Avoid the residents?"

"Don't worry, it's also for safety reasons."

Keno Delson instructed the soldier to take out the map, and then handed it to the Scar Merchant, which felt very special.

"Here's a map of the Northwest Territories, and we're in this location."

He pointed to the edge of the map, where there was a sign that resembled a camp.

"Not far from here, in the desert, there is a sandworm-infested ruin, I hope you can go there with us."

"Why?"

"The soldiers on patrol disappeared there. In fact, the ruins of the Ruin, on the border between the city of Ru Gain and the city of Gena, were often passed by travelers and soldiers... But lately, it's been a bit of a bad thing. ”

Keno Delson's face sank for the first time, and he continued: "The origin of the ruins is difficult to investigate, the city of Jina was founded when it was built, it was used as a nest by the lizard colony earlier, and later someone saw a mummy nearby. ”

"I see."

The Scar Merchant nodded in understanding.

Mummies are typical sand demons, and the appearance of demons not far from the city is worth paying attention to.

"The last question, Lu Gayne and the professionals of Gena City can't handle it, or is it?"

It's strange that there should be a fair number of professionals in the two cities, and the ruined land may be put on the notice board at the intersection as a task by the local government, and someone will pick it up.

"Just like the fifteen soldiers who have disappeared, three professionals went together to take over the mission, but they were sentenced to be missing more than half a month overdue."

Keno Delson looked at the Scar Merchant, "Someone recommended you in the King's Hall, otherwise we'd have formed a crusade to go to that ruin." ”

The Scar Merchant was stunned for a moment, "The three professionals are missing, how did that person convince you of the allegiance to the adult?" ”

"I don't know."

Keno Delson shook his head, "Anyway, I hope you can solve this problem, it's a lot of lives." ”

"Okay, I get a rough idea."

The Scar Merchant nodded, surprised to see that the woman was pulling at her own clothes.

"I have a bad feeling, Philun."

She bit the name of the Scar Merchant, her eyes glinting with unease.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, and the two sides were silent for a while.

"Mr. Philun."

Keno Delson spoke up appropriately, "If you find it difficult, you can refuse, and the arms deal is still valid." ”

The generosity he showed made Fei Lun look sideways for a while, maybe this is the unique charm of the hero, the broad mind.

But Fei Lun noticed that the soldiers behind him looked visibly nervous, and he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.

"I don't promise I'll fix this."

Fei Lun said calmly: "I will go to the ruins with you, and after confirmation, I will consider this deal." ”

At the end of the day, the temptation of the estate is still great.

At the same time, Fei Lun felt that the woman's slender hand grasped a little tighter.

"Okay."

Keno Delson smiled heartily, and Philen's caution was expected, which was also a little more reassuring.

"I'll leave early tomorrow morning, I'll have to go and get ready."

"This tent is left for you."

Keno Delson gave a gentleman's salute and came out of the tent with a group of soldiers.

The night continued to fill in, getting thicker and thicker.

A few hundred meters away, Tang Ze hid in the darkness, using the power of the spirit of perception to capture the conversation.

"Lu Gauin, Gena City, there are a lot of cities."

Tang Ze was a little curious about the ruins, he hadn't taken a native monster as his subordinate for a long time.

"There's still too little intelligence."

Deciding to obtain more information, Tang Ze flew into the sky, and according to the map system, he quickly found a place similar to the ruins.

There are also scattered drought-tolerant plants nearby.

After a while, he landed next to a giant greenstone poplar, and several sandworm cubs were originally lurking under the sand, feeling Tang Ze's breath, they immediately crawled out, turned out of their white bellies and continued to twitch.

This is their gesture of expressing fear and showing weakness.

However, Tang Ze completely ignored them, and he moved his gaze to the body of the greenstone poplar, pale green magic patterns seeping into his fingertips.

After a while, a consciousness was born in the chaos.

A gap appeared in the trunk of the tree, and the eyes slowly opened, revealing brownish-black pupils.

"Thank you for giving me life, my lordship."

This greenstone poplar is more intelligent than ordinary trees, which is also convenient for errands.

"Do you know the ruins there?"

Tang Ze pointed in a certain direction, and Greenstone Yang thought for a while and quickly replied.

"Home of the souls, nests of swarms of sandworms, dwellings of corpses."

Tang Ze then asked Greenstone Yang about the recent situation and the details of the ruins.

Indeed, fifteen soldiers had come, and they had rested for a while under the greenstone poplar, but the three professionals did not see it.

In addition, the ruins were originally an entire burial chamber, which was destroyed during a sandstorm, and some scattered monsters gathered underground over time to build their nests.

It sounds natural, a lot like that.

"That's it."

Tang Ze withdrew the power of the magic pattern, and the reverent eyes of the green stone yang slowly closed, and the gap was covered by the surging bark, leaving no traces.

Suddenly.

Click, click, click.

There was a slight vibration sound from underground, revealing a swarm of fat sandworms in the perception that seemed to be running away, just in the direction of Tang Ze.

However, the swarm seemed to sense the more terrifying aura ahead, and decisively turned a corner.

But the men who pursued them did not turn, and with a loud cry, a blurred outline appeared in the dark sky, and they were huge.

They were originally "scavenging vultures" in the desert, monsters mutated from the flesh and blood of demons, and their gray-black eyes were shining.

Interestingly, scavenging vultures are very sensing, perhaps due to the fact that they act in groups.

Even though Tang Ze's aura was so powerful that it made them tremble, they also stubbornly flew above Tang Ze.

It hasn't flown a few meters yet.

Bang bang, the five scavenging vultures in front of them exploded into a mist of blood, shattering without warning.

The blue boss-level scavenging vultures in the rear screamed, turned extremely quickly, and then exploded with the remaining scavenging vultures, blood and feathers falling one after another, emitting an unpleasant fishy stench.

They didn't even see a shadow.

Gray-white experience poured into his feet, and he estimated that the level of these bird monsters was around Lv17.

“...”

The smell of the neighborhood will attract monsters, Tang Ze raised his hand, the green fire rose, and the smell quickly disappeared.

"Scavenging vultures, sandworms."

He pondered the relationship between the two, which should be predator and prey.

There seemed to be a nest of sandworms in the ruins, and with a nearby swarm of scavenging vultures, it was clear that the three professionals who entered the ruins were unlucky.

Just as he was muttering about whether to go into the ruins to find out, there was another sharp sound in the sky.
