Chapter 118: Roaring Beast
Just as a few people were chatting around, a terrible scream suddenly came from the distance, and then everyone saw Sauron's big man who was in charge of keeping watch at night running back.
"Scorpion...... Scorpion!" shouted the warrior out of breath with a blank face.
"Such an adult, still afraid of scorpions?!" Sauron blushed a little for his men and scolded angrily.
"No......" the samurai quickly defended, "too much...... I can't count!"
At this time, everyone around the campfire also heard a scalp-numbing rustling sound around them, and they couldn't help but stand up and observe the surroundings vigilantly.
After a while, as the rustling sound became louder and louder, under the reflection of the firelight, everyone could clearly see a tide rushing from the darkness against the ground, and when they looked closely, they found that the tide was actually composed of thousands of purple-black scorpions.
Ellie's legs were weak, and she sat on the ground suddenly, rubbing back in horror, while little Angel threw herself tightly into Ellie's arms, trembling, and didn't dare to look at it again.
"Don't be afraid, we're here. Sophia hurriedly stepped forward to help Ellie, in fact, seeing this terrifying scene, Sophia also endured it so that she didn't lose her temper.
With a wave of his hand, Fedeers released a dark flame, and the scorpion swarm was still running fast in front of everyone, only to rush in, turning into faint ashes one by one, and the sound of the field was endless, and a foul smell of burning filled the air.
As if sensing something in front of them that they could not overcome, after losing nearly a thousand of their companions, the scorpion swarm divided into two paths, bypassed the shroud of the Smoky Flame, and quickly crawled forward.
It seems that the purpose of the scorpion group is very clear, just desperately crawling forward, and did not try to attack Dio and his party, which makes Captain Federce breathe a sigh of relief, once the scorpion is a social creature that decides to attack a certain target, it is definitely one after another, and it is definitely not something that he can stop with a dark flame.
Of course, if the scorpion group really attacked, it would never end well, and it was a big deal that Federas spared no effort to release a few more smlush flames to protect everyone in it.
After a long while, the scorpion swarm gradually moved away, leaving everyone to look at each other on the ground, even people who didn't know the desert anymore felt the abnormality at this moment, and then remembered the jerboas and camels that they saw before, there was no doubt that something must have happened in the desert.
Dio suddenly looked up at the sky, a bright moon hung in the sky, and the night sky was clear and cloudless.
"What are you looking at?" asked Raymond curiously.
Dio smiled and shook his head, but didn't say anything, in Theo's cognition, the signs of large-scale migration of such beasts are generally a sign of impending natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, correspondingly, the sky is usually overcast, and the weather at this moment is obviously contrary to his judgment.
"Be careful at night. Fedeers said that he couldn't think of anything that was going on, let alone anyone else.
Everyone nodded, but if something like this happens, I'm afraid no one will sleep peacefully, the only exception is little Angel. After all, she was a child, and after listening to the story Raymond told her, she left the terrifying scene behind her, and began to be active again, tossing for a while before falling asleep in Elle's arms.
Angel had just fallen asleep for a while, when Theo, who was sitting in the direction of the desert, saw that the depths of the desert suddenly lit up for a moment, and then a blazing fire rose into the sky, dyeing half of the sky red.
"What's that?" asked Dio, stunned.
Everyone looked in the direction of Dio's finger and found the firelight, and Federes's expression was particularly solemn, judging from the intensity of the firelight, compared to the True Red Dance that he released with all his might, it was not much inferior.
"I'll go and see, you stay here. Fedeers said.
Dio and the others glanced at each other, and there was no objection, there was Duncan's experience there, and now even Gordon was not so impulsive.
Fedez flew out and ran straight into the depths of the desert, just as the firelight had begun to flicker, and there was a faint loud roar, apparently a fierce fight taking place there.
After a long time, Fedez's figure swept out of the darkness.
"What's wrong?" asked Sophia.
Instead of looking at Sophia, Fedez glanced at Gordon and smiled: "A good news or a bad news, which one do you listen to first?"
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't understand the meaning of Federes's words.
"Let's start with the good news. Sophia was also curious as to why the usually strict Fedeers suddenly started joking.
"The good news is that Gordon is not wrong, there is indeed a demon beast. ”
Gordon was stunned, and even his heartbeat couldn't help but start to speed up, and he asked hesitantly, "What...... The bad news?"
"The bad news is ......" Fedeers paused for a moment and continued, "With us people, it's hard to catch that guy. ”
"What the hell is it?" everyone's curiosity was raised.
"It's a roaring beast. ”
As soon as Federes's words fell, Gordon jumped up from the ground and shouted in surprise, "Really?!"
Gordon can't help but lose his temper, the Roaring Beast, the dream mount of all high-level fire warriors. The Roarmon is a new mutant species that appeared after the meteor shower thousands of years ago.
But until now, there are very few warriors on the entire continent who can have a roaring beast mount, this kind of thing is too difficult to catch, its strength is comparable to that of extreme warriors, it comes and goes like the wind, it has a strong fire resistance, and the number of roaring beasts is extremely rare, it only survives in the hinterland of the desert, I don't know why that roaring beast appeared here.
Looking at Gordon's expression, Raymond became nervous at the time: "Hey, you don't really want to catch it, do you?"
The only person in the team who is qualified to fight the roaring beast is Federshi, but Federas is a fire-type warrior, whether it is the True Red Dance or the Smolder Flame, they can't do much damage to the roaring beast, and the others may only become a feast for the roaring beast.
Gordon soon realized this, and his face couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, it was clear that what he dreamed of was in front of him, but he couldn't do anything, a feeling that only those who have experienced it firsthand can experience.
"Actually...... It's not that there is no hope at all. Fedeers said suddenly.
Gordon's eyes immediately lit up again, and he stared at Fedeers without blinking.
"From what I've observed, the roaring beast must have been injured a lot. Federas smiled, he could understand Gordon's feelings, in fact, Gordon had been able to endure until now, and he hadn't rushed over to catch the roaring beast right away, which was already a great improvement.
The crowd was silent, waiting for Federes' next step.
"That roaring beast is in a fight with a big lizard, we can watch from the sidelines, and if they fight each other, our chance is here. As soon as Federes finished speaking, Gordon swooped out, and shouted, "Then what are you waiting for!"
Federes looked at Gordon's back and shook his head helplessly, it seems that the country is still easy to change, and his surname is difficult to change.
Sauron, Avery and the others stayed behind to look after the camp, and Dio chased after them.
It took almost twenty minutes for everyone to step onto a tall sand dune, and the battlefield was ahead, and the first sight of the roaring beast gave birth to the same feeling in everyone's hearts, that is, bewitching.
The head of the roaring beast resembles that of a horse, but it has two sharp horns, one long and one short, and is much larger than a horse, and its thick limbs support a two-meter-tall fiery red body, which is covered with flashing red light, and there seems to be something like lava flowing in the roaring beast's body.
Confronting the roaring beast, it was a giant lizard with a body length of more than twenty meters, and on the tongue that was pulled out of its mouth and split into two forks, drops of slime were still flowing downward, and when the slime fell to the ground, it would snort and emit a light smoke, obviously the lizard's saliva contained highly poisonous.
The two men looked like they had been fighting for a while, and the lizard's body was covered in marks of flames, and there were several wounds with flesh and skin rolled up, and blood was still flowing freely. The roaring beast also looked a little embarrassed, one of its hind legs trembled from time to time, and there was a long wound under its ribs, looking at the gray-white muscles at the wound, it was obviously a while.
The giant lizard didn't seem to dare to get too close to the roaring beast, but it was very patient to swim around the roaring beast, spewing out a cloud of slime from its mouth from time to time, and the roaring beast was always vigilant, and when it saw the lizard spewing slime, it would shoot a flame from its mouth, and the slime was evaporated before it could fall on the roaring beast.
As soon as the roaring beast attacked, the lizard would quickly retreat, despite its huge size, but its movement on the sand was extremely fast, and its limbs swung like a stroke of water, and it slipped through the distance.
After several times, the Fire Roar Beast gradually lost its patience, and suddenly spewed out a hot tongue of fire from its mouth and shot at the lizard.
The lizard repeated its old trick and swooped backwards, but at that moment, the roaring beast raised its front hooves and stepped heavily on the ground, and with a bang, a line of fire appeared from under the feet of the roaring beast, and shot towards the lizard with great speed.
The lizard obviously didn't expect the roaring beast to have this hand, and it didn't have time to change the direction of its retreat when it was caught off guard, and was shot right by the line of fire, and suddenly half of its body burned, rolling painfully on the ground, and the air was filled with a burning smell.
Seeing that its attack worked, the Roaring Beast immediately pressed its head against the ground, its two sharp horns pointed in front of it, and suddenly rushed towards the lizard like a heavy tank.
Although the shape of the roaring beast was a little crooked during the running due to the leg injury, its speed was not slow, and if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe that this creature as thick as a hill had such a rapid sprint speed.
