I stood on the sand dunes and stared blankly at the sand dragon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sand dragon turned its head and swam towards me, opening its fanged mouth to swallow me. I subconsciously rolled a step to the side, got up, and ran away. But the sand dragon was much faster than I expected, I didn't run a few steps, the sand dragon was already behind me, and I had to roll to the side again. But this time, I rolled down the sand dune and down the slope to the bottom.

It was probably the same situation for a few days that paralyzed my nerves, and my body was not as flexible as before. I lay on the sand, looking up at the sky, my mind went blank, and I wanted to just lie on the ground. But the roar of the sand dragon immediately woke me up, and I struggled to get up. At this time, the sand dragon suddenly pounced from the sand dune, and I quickly pounced to the side. My body moved involuntarily, and these martial arts skills were etched into my body like an imprint, flowing in my blood.

The sand dragon pounced again, but I didn't dodge, just kicked the ground with my right foot, and immediately flashed to the side of the sand dragon, and when it rushed to my side, I deflected the short knife in my hand to the right, and made a cut on the sand dragon. The wound was shallow, but it did hurt. Since you can't run, let's fight to the death with this big guy. The sand dragon screamed a few times, then turned his head and pounced on me again. It seems that this guy can only bite people with his mouth, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with. I repeated the same method, flashed to the side, and with a wave of my right hand upwards, I made another cut on it.

The sand dragon was injured twice, and he had no intention of leaving, so he turned his head and continued to trouble me. This guy really didn't have a long lesson, so I repeated the method just now, and slashed it a few times. Seeing that it still doesn't flinch, then I can't help it, so I'll accompany it to the end, but if it goes on like this, it's obvious that I win.

I wanted to decide the winner as quickly as possible, so I ran up the slope of the dune while it was in the air, and then jumped on its back reflexively. But I never expected that its body was as hot as a stove, and I could feel the heat surging through my shoes. I jumped down, but by the way, I stuck the knife in his back and made a deep cut from the top down. The blow seemed to work well, and the sand dragon writhed as it looked like it was in pain. Seeing that it suffered, my body also relaxed a little, this guy should have run away. It got into the sand and swam up the dunes, and when I saw it go, I went back to look for my luggage.

For a moment, I felt the killing intent, as if I was like an enraged street thug who was carrying an axe and slashing me from behind, and my body involuntarily pounced to the side. There was a sudden sound of hitting the sand behind me, and I turned around to find that the sand dragon had pounced and burrowed into the sand again. It was as if I had dodged the fatal blow.

The sand dragon swam to the top of the sand dunes again, and suddenly burst out of the sand and pounced on me. Instinctively, I rolled forward, just enough to dodge the sand dragon's attack, and I slashed it under its stomach, but it was probably too slow to hurt its tail. But it doesn't matter, since it works, just repeat it a few times, and this stupid guy will always fall.

The sand dragon burrowed into the sand again. Its dorsal fin is exposed to the sand, making it particularly conspicuous in the vast desert. No matter how many times it attacks, I can always grasp the timing and direction of its attack, and I probably don't know that it has such a fatal weakness. This time, the sand dragon swam to the other side of the sand dune, and I stared at its dorsal fin, not daring to miss my eyes.

It rushed out again. This time I was probably a little closer, and as the sand splashed from the sand dragon's body flew into my eyes, I had to roll to the side and rub my eyes as soon as I got up. Before I could open my eyes and take a closer look, I heard the sound of the sand dragon rushing out of the sand again, and I had to roll to the side again.

With these few rounds, I gradually became familiar with the attack methods of the sand dragon, and it was easier to deal with the sand dragon. The sand dragon probably couldn't resist my consumption and swam into the distance. But this time, I didn't let my guard down and stared at the dorsal fin of the sand dragon. Suddenly, it surfaced out of the sand and rushed towards me several times as fast as before. I saw that the situation was not right, and immediately ran to the side. The sand dragon rushed past me like lightning, and it really passed by, and I almost got hit by it. I immediately looked back at the sand dragon, which came in a circle from a distance and came crashing into me again, and I had to run to the side. The sand dragon tossed back and forth a few times like this, watching it stop not far away, it should be tired. But I'm excited about these back and forth, and it's been a long time since I've had such an exciting fight. I ran towards the sand dragon and slashed at it a few times. It was also tired, and slowly burrowed into the sand. I took advantage of the situation and plunged into the sand, and the sand dragon immediately jumped out of the sand and rolled on the ground.

It's a bit of a novelty, and it's the first time I've seen it rolling back and forth. But I didn't dare to get too close to it, for fear that it would jump off the wall and come up with some new tricks, and I wouldn't be able to hide.

The sand dragon rolled enough and got into the sand again. This time, however, its dorsal fin was not exposed. With some foreboding, I took a few steps back, closed my eyes, and listened carefully to the whistling of the wind and the grinding of sand. Gradually, I felt the earth tremble, and this tremor grew stronger and closer, and at the moment when it was about to gush out of the sand, I jumped backwards. But I still jumped late, and the sand dragon rushed out of the ground, and immediately opened its mouth and bit at me, and its teeth were about to touch my legs. I immediately retracted my legs and backflipped, and as soon as I landed on the ground, the sand dragon's mouth was already in the ground.

It's really tricky. When you can't see the sand dragon's movements, it is really difficult not only to avoid its mouth, but also to find a way to cause damage to it. I looked around and spotted the armor next to the pile of bones. I ran over, pinned the dagger to my waist, and picked up a piece of torn armor to try to plug the sand dragon's mouth with it.

The ground began to tremble again, and the sand dragon was about to surface again. Since the armor is a bit heavy, I want to take advantage of the moment and jump early. The tremor of the sand was getting stronger and stronger, and I felt that the sand dragon was about to rush out, so I immediately jumped. This time the sand dragon was a certain distance away from me, so I took a look and immediately threw the armor in my hand into the sand dragon's mouth.

Probably because I had a good timing, the iron bump just stuck in the throat of the sand dragon. As soon as I landed, I kicked the ground with my foot, immediately pulled out the short knife at my waist, and stabbed it towards the sand dragon. Another serious injury, the sand dragon shook his head, threw the armor out of his mouth, and then got into the sand and swam far away. This time, the sand dragon swam very slowly, and its dorsal fin was exposed. I chased after it and stabbed the sand a few more times. Suddenly, the upper body of the sand dragon poked out of the sand, turned his head and opened his mouth to bite me, I didn't have time to dodge, and subconsciously fell with a knife. But the moment it bit me, it stopped and fell on its head in the sand.

I was so frightened by the sudden blow that my heart suddenly accelerated, I gasped, and when I saw that it didn't move, I stabbed it a few times with a knife, but it still didn't move, and I sat down on the sand. The guy finally collapsed, and my nerves finally relaxed. This fight really made me tired and weak, and my hands were still shaking. I threw the knife aside and lay on the sand, looking up at the sky. The sun is still so dazzling, and the blue sky and white clouds are still so charming.

At the last moment, I'm afraid I couldn't dodge, if the sand dragon hadn't fallen, I should have been eaten by it. I hadn't been so scared for years, and I thought that after so many years, I should have been not afraid of death, but the scene of the fight just now is still vivid, and I still flinched at the last moment. It's really the skills I've honed over the years that saved me.

When I was a child, Harvey and I and a group of slum children often went to various shops in Oasis City to steal food, and we were chased and scolded by many people for this. When we grew up, we would scuffle with the thugs in the streets and alleys of Oasis City, and sometimes when we encountered a fierce one, a group of people would come and cut us with axes and knives. I also suffered a lot of injuries in this kind of scuffle, but then I gradually mastered the skills and was able to defeat the bad gangsters. Later, we were able to be self-reliant, and we also understood some truths, so we went to work for those merchants and nobles. But the faces of those people are not as real as the gangsters on the street, and behind the smiling faces are endless greed and dirty desires. I really look up to them by working for them, but in reality, I can't steal anything to eat, so I have to do odd jobs for them. Occasionally, when you meet a good customer, you are willing to take the initiative to do more, even if you can't get more money, but it's understandable. However, in recent days, the merchants have become more and more aggressive in relying on the power of the local aristocracy, not only deducting wages at will, but even doing things to their subordinates, and several of my childhood friends have been beaten to death by the merchants and nobles. What can you do when something like this happens?

Jiajin is better than those merchants, but it is not much better. After all, he is the richest businessman in Oasis City, and he has a reputation in the industry, but his character is not good, and I am only willing to go because he gives him more money. But now he is also regarded as a thief by Jia Jin, and Oasis City is considered unable to stay, and if he stays for one more day, he will be shouted and beaten for one more day. Running out of Oasis City, I didn't think that I could go back alive, or simply not go back, it would be good to find a job, and if I couldn't find it, I had to find a way to get around.

But I never expected that after so many years in Oasis City, all the skills I have cultivated will be used to trip this sand dragon. But looking back on the scenes in the past, such scenes are only when the fight is won, lying on the ground, looking at the small piece of sky sandwiched by the houses on both sides of the alley, but I also feel comfortable. Now, I am lying in the desert, the whole sky is in front of me, but I have palpitations, even in that fight, I have never been afraid, maybe it is really the moment when death beckons to me today, which makes me have a fear that I have never had.

The sun was about to set, so I got up and patted the sand off my body. When I returned to the pile of bones, I found that the luggage and camels had been fed to the sand dragon, and all that was left was a water bag, a little dry food, a little change in my pocket, and the short knife that I had just thrown aside. It's hard to even get out of the desert now. But the days of hunger are not unprecedented, recalling when I was a child, I was injured by the manager of the butcher shop, and I couldn't go out to steal food for several days, so I could only go hungry.

I went back to the sand dragon's carcass, cut open its belly, drained the blood to drink, and dug up a piece of meat to eat. It's not tasty, but it's better than being hungry. After eating and drinking, I was ready to get up and set off, and suddenly remembered that year, a man got a piece of fire dragon scales, and sold them for a lot of money, and the scales of the sand dragon were also very good to the touch, maybe they could also be sold for a lot of money, so he scraped off a lot of scales from the corpse, tore off the skin and wrapped them up, and went on the road.

There are no camels. These scales still seem a little heavy, and they are indeed a bit heavy to back. However, I used to move bricks for a few days without hunger, which is nothing, but it is just a desert.

In this way, I kept walking day and night, and I lost consciousness when I walked, but my feet were still moving. I don't know how long I walked, but there was no longer yellow sand in front of me, but I had gradually forgotten what I was doing, and it was like a dream when I saw people. In an instant, I realized that it was a living person, and my heart jumped, but my body really couldn't support it, and I passed out.

"Hey bro, you're finally awake. "When I woke up, I saw a big man.

"Here...... What is it?" I asked in a weak voice, ...... I couldn't muster my strength.

"This is Axel, this is my home. I'm a businessman here, and my name is Penk. It really scared me to see you coming from the southeast desert yesterday. It's the first time in many years that I've seen someone come from the desert in the southeast. Where are you from?"

"Oasis City ......"

"Oasis City, my God, you're amazing, you're walking so far away by yourself, and you're carrying such a heavy package. But your package is pretty good, but the contents are sinking to death, could it be that you have stones in it?"

"How could it be ......"

"Well, look at you like this, you should stay at my house for a few days, and when you can move bricks like a normal person, it's not too late to go. ”

"That'...... Money ......"

"Hey, what else do you mention that you don't have money? You can come from Oasis City, just by virtue of this, I admire your five-body throw, these days as a treat for me. ”

The merchants of Axel are different, and it seems that I have come to the right place.

In this way, I stayed at Penck's house for a few days, and my body began to return to normal, but my legs always involuntarily moved forward, probably because of the sequelae of walking in the desert, and it will be fine in a few days.

But it's better to go out for a walk, after all, the legs are always moving involuntarily, and it's not a way to stay in the house all the time. I changed my clothes, grabbed a few scales, and went out.

Axel is such a big city, and there are really all kinds of shops on the block. But what attracted me the most was the fish stall, probably I hadn't seen these things in Oasis City, so I couldn't help but be a little curious. Of course, even the biggest cities have dark sides. It was only natural for me to find the black dealers here.

The black merchants here actually have shops, but the shops are in the alleys, and there are occasional customers. It is said that it is a black business, but in fact, the price of common things is still the same as that of other stores, but the unique things are sold very expensive.

"Hey, buddy, what do you want? I have Otser's mysterious crystal here, which is said to make weapons very sharp. There are also some high-quality weapons and armor imported from Otser, I see that you are a martial arts person, I wonder if you are interested in these?"

I pulled a piece of sand dragon scales out of my pocket, and he exclaimed.

"Dragon scales are a rare thing, brother, what do you want to exchange?"

"I think this crystal is good, just change it to a medium-sized one. ”

"Okay. The black merchant was quick with his hands and feet, and immediately found a suitable crystal and handed it to me. I was about to take the crystal, but he clutched it tightly. I immediately handed over the scales, and he took them, his clenched hand letting go.

I looked at the crystal carefully, and I could feel that it seemed to be alive, flowing with the energy of nature, and it was a magical thing.

"Boss, how do you use this thing?"

He just smiled.

I reacted, took out another scale, handed it to him, he took it, and said, "It seems that you have also been mixed with this, and you know these rules." To tell you the truth, as long as this crystal is embedded in the weapon, the weapon can change according to the person's will. Although there is no change on the surface, it has actually been strengthened. So if you're looking for a sharper weapon, think of a thinner blade, and if you're looking for a more powerful weapon, think of a heavier material. ”

I took out the short knife from my waist and tried it as he said, and there was indeed a change. Rather, this crystal is so amazing that it is definitely a sought-after item on the black market.

"Is there a limit to the number of times this crystal can be used?"

"According to reliable sources, there is no limit to the number of times, so you can use it with confidence. Welcome back if needed. ”

"By the way, boss, I'd like to ask for information about Axel. I handed over another scale.

He took the scales and said, "Well, I must know everything." Axel was much better than the other cities of Torem because the king was a young man and many of his policies were popular with the people. However, the environment in Torem is bad, and the road conditions are also very poor, and if you want to control other cities, you can't do it in Axel, so other cities are not as safe as here, and you can probably feel it like this. It is rich in products, and there are often trading ships with Orser and Dablin, so Axel can be called the most prosperous city on this continent. However, in recent years, due to the war between Oshur and Armenia, the trade with Osser has become less and less, and many good goods can only be obtained by us people, and ordinary merchants cannot get them, and due to the appearance of sand dragons in the desert, many sand ships cannot sail, and the trade with other cities in Torrem has also decreased, only the trade with Dablin Island has not decreased. "I was stunned for a moment, probably because he mentioned the sand dragon. "However, because the king is really young and promising, the development of Axel City has never stopped. But the king has to worry about nothing but the sand dragon, that is, the security of other cities. ”

I was relieved to have a general understanding of the situation here. It's definitely no problem to find a good job here, and life will be better in the future. I gave him the few scales left in my pocket for money and left.

However, this scale really changed a lot of money, and on the way back, I bought a lot of things I wanted to buy, and I only spent a little bit. It seems that the remaining bag of sand dragon scales can be eaten by me for the rest of my life.

I took a lot of things with me back to Penck's house. As soon as I pushed the door open, I was stunned for a moment. There were a few soldiers in the room, questioning Penk. I felt that something was wrong, and I was about to pull out the short knife with the crystal embedded in it. The soldiers turned to look at me, and one of them, dressed differently, like a soldier commander, came up to me and asked, "You are Raphael?"
