Chapter 257: Black Sandstorm (Part I)

[Even today, there are still four shifts left. I'll make it up in a week, preferably tomorrow ......]

Not to mention Salin's refining spears for Storm Bear, Rex's mages, half of them consumed almost everything to make scroll magic strings, and the other half went to continue to make them, and these mages did not rest, but helped the swordsmen hatch fish eggs.

These mages recover by nature, and the magic string can be restored in about three hours. The magic traps outside the camp are constantly triggered, and the magician can't be idle, so he has to go out to check it often accompanied by the swordmaster.

The results of the inspection are worrying, after most of the magic traps were completely destroyed, there was no corpse left of any demonic beasts, and it was not the sand scorpion that came, they were all demonic beasts that acted alone, but they were a hundred times stronger than the sand scorpion.

fell into the magic trap, the monster did not get angry, but calmly retreated, such a monster is wise, and it is even more difficult to deal with. Rex and the others stayed here just to study the characteristics of the fish beast. So as not to suddenly face a large number of fish and beasts.

It is impossible for the team to stay here all the time, research, the more difficult the survival environment, the more types of Warcraft there are, which is very different from ordinary beasts. If you continue to study, I'm afraid that Salin will not be able to finish his research when he dies.

Rex was a total of twelve warriors, including Storm Bear and Zola, that is, fourteen people, and the magician prepared twenty-four Ring of Resistance Ring Scrolls for each of them, and then set out on the road. This time, Rex took all the equipment of the camp with him and did not discard it on the spot.

Salin himself didn't know how to make the Ring of Resistance Ring Scrolls, it was Elenor who helped him make nearly a hundred, and after making these scrolls, Elena Magic String was left with only a few left, and began to meditate in the car.

Saleen handed the scroll to Neris. Naris is now at a bit of a mage's level when she releases the scroll, and it is impossible for Saleen herself to be blessed with demonic magic in battle.

At this time, Rex's team had entered the Purgatory Desert for a day and a half, and the distance they had advanced was no more than a hundred miles.

The Spirit Snake Armor provided the warriors with the protection they deserved, but it consumed the equivalent of a low-level magic core every hour. The temperature during the day is not too high, only in the fifties, but at night the temperature reaches below 20 freezing. Ordinary metal armor can deform and even break under such a large temperature difference.

Generally speaking, every hour that passes in the desert for this team consumes more than two hundred gold cores. This is also the reason why Rex only brought ten sword masters, and if the team is large, this number will continue to double. Although Rex has fewer people now, each of them can maintain the most stable combat effectiveness.

The wheel of the magic chariot is wrapped in a wide rubber ring. The gum extracted from marine fish is very wear-resistant, and after the metal particles are mixed in the middle, the life of a rubber ring reaches more than three years. It was because of these rubber rings that the wheels did not get stuck in the sand, but maintained a forward speed of twenty miles.

The scenery outside the car window is very boring, the black desert, when the wind blows, the sand dunes will make a rustling sound, like countless gophers gnawing, it sounds very terrible.

Trouble came at this time, and a lizard, only two meters long, suddenly emerged from the sand and pounced on the violent bear. Storm Bear took off the battle axe from the saddle and split it with an axe, his newly learned skills were not proficient, but this lizard weighed more than three hundred catties, and it couldn't unload even in the air, and Storm Bear's axe directly split the lizard's head.

The blood mist lifted, and the lizard fell heavily on the sand, still writhing its body.

In the black sand on all sides, dozens of black lizards appeared and surrounded the team. Storm Bear shouted, "This thing has a hard shell. At least a fifth-level Demonic Beast!"

"It's only a second-level demonic beast, and your armor can block their magical attacks. Rex's voice came from inside the helmet.

The swordsmen were a little relieved that the level of the demonic beast was basically divided according to the magic core, mainly depending on how many levels of magic this demonic beast could release.

Because unless it is a creature like a dragon, no matter how strong the ** of the Warcraft is, it can be solved by the number of hunters. Monsters such as rock monitor lizards or mountain grizzly bears are extremely powerful, but the level of magic they can unleash is very low. For the swordsmen who wore the spirit snake armor, the second-level demonic beast was no longer a threat.

What is the use of the defense of the fifth-level demonic beast, everyone has a small alchemy crossbow, and they can even deal with this kind of guy without consuming sword qi.

Suddenly, the lizard that surrounded it squeaked and screamed, and the largest lizard stared at the bear, and the other lizards began to flee and run south.

To the south is the desert periphery, and to the north is the desert hinterland.

Only then did the buzzing sound come, and immediately a mage made a quick decision and released a wall of flames. A black cloud flew over, but it was an untold number of flying ants.

"It's a stone ant, don't panic. There was no need for Rex to make a sound, and the mages immediately blessed the swordsmen with the magic of the Great Force.

Stone ants are also relatively terrifying creatures, with sharp mouthparts that can gnaw at sand and rocks. However, the resistance of stone ants to flames is even lower, and first-level mages can deal with it.

The swordsmen wore fully enclosed metal armor, and the stone ants could barely hurt them. Moreover, the main food of stone ants is tiny organisms on sand grains, which gnaw on rocks and sand grains. It is for the needs of carapace growth. Those lizards fled for their lives because they were afraid that their carapaces would be eaten by stone ants, and even if they didn't eat their flesh, they would kill them.

The stone ants really went around the wall of fire and chased after the fleeing lizards, not even bothering to pay attention to Rex and the others.

Rex looked at the flying stone ants in the car and said worriedly, "Oops, there are so many stone ants, it must have rained." ”

"Let's take a detour. Salin suggested that there was no road in the desert, just a change of direction. Rex nodded helplessly. It was estimated that it was raining heavily, so a large number of fish and beasts hatched. Juvenile fish beasts have hard shells, and these fish beasts provide a large amount of food for stone ants.

If there are no accidents, the fish beast will survive Issei, and after the battle with the stone ants, the fish beast will evolve into an adult body.

Rex is a little strange, if there is heavy rain ahead, even if the environment here is strange and the magician can't detect it, he should still hear the thunder.

The team shifted eastward, adjusted its direction at a twenty-degree angle and continued to move forward, only to hear a whining sound in the distance.

"Sandstorm!"

"County Lord, the scope is huge. I can't hide from it!"

Only then did the mages realize that danger was approaching, and in a minute or two at most, a sandstorm would come.

Rex stepped out of the chariot and threw a few things from the Ring of the HRE.

"Zola, make a hole in the ground with the strongest attack!" Rex also lost his temper, the sandstorm came, the time was short, but if it was long, the magic chariot might not be able to support it.

Zola didn't ask Saleen this time, he directly pulled out a newly refined spear from the side of the violent bear, and jumped more than ten meters high. Lean down and plunge down.

With a bang, I didn't see the edge of the sword qi, but a big hole with a diameter of half a meter and a depth of dozens of meters appeared on the ground.

Under the blow, Zola staggered and threw the spear away. None of the swordsmen bothered him, but quickly came to Rex's side. An iron chain with an anchor-like piece of metal at the end of it was thrown into a hole in the ground. The swordsmen then skillfully assembled the equipment that Rex had taken out of the Ring of the HRE.

A metal house was quickly erected, with iron chains at each of the four corners, hanging from the chains that had seeped into the hole. At the bottom of the hole, the anchor-like metal bounced open, and countless wires went out, and more than a dozen openings were opened at the same time, wanting to be out** flames.

The flame melted the black sand and connected it to all the wires.

Storm Bear dragged the tired Zola into the metal house, Rex collected the magic chariot, and Saleen collected the skeleton warhorse while hiding inside.

This metal house is equal in length and width, only six meters. The space in the room is smaller, and the walls are more than half a meter thick. When everyone went in, it was a little more crowded.

In the middle of the metal room, there is a round table with a fixed disc on it. The swordsmen spun the discs, and the chains under the houses were swept into the metal houses, merely sinking into the sand.

Boom!

A loud crash sounded, and the metal house shook violently. Then it was as if there were countless arrows hitting the houses, making the sound of war drums.

The Great Magicians all changed color, this sandstorm was more terrifying than any sandstorm they knew, you must know that Rex's metal house weighed almost 100,000 pounds, and the iron chains under the house were still fixed deep underground with magic. Even so, the metal house shook with the impact of the sandstorm.

Imagine that if the magician held up the magic shield at this time, he would definitely be swept into the sandstorm as well, moving with the eye of the storm in the sandstorm. In a sandstorm, black grains of sand crash against the magic shield, generating thousands of attacks per second. I'm afraid the magic strings of these archmages will be exhausted in a minute.

Those swordsmen couldn't survive it, except for the horror of the air pressure in the sandstorm. Those grains of sand can pierce through magical armor. You know, magicians cut metal, and many of them use water and sand particles to form water jets, ** out.

The Spirit Snake Armor may be stronger, but the attack frequency of these sand grains is too terrifying, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of people attacking you at the same time, even if the strength of these tens of thousands of people is very small, together, it is not something that the Spirit Snake Armor can block.

The four demons were a little frightened. They didn't expect that the Myers Continent plane would also have such a terrifying environment. No matter how powerful the demon's repair ability is, it will be ground to death.

Byrne finally appeared, and at this time, his strength could not survive in the desert. There was no place to hide in the metal room, and he stood beside Rex, his face pale. Saleen didn't have to look to tell his identity from his breath. Because Saleen had fought with him, he was very familiar with Byrne's breath. Replaced by someone else, the commander treated him as a low-level assassin.
