Chapter VI

Walking through the desert is easy to have the illusion of being small, and if it weren't for the trails of footprints left behind you, it would be hard to even notice that you were moving, as if the space was still.

Nothing to say all the way,

On the sixth day of the caravan's departure, they encountered a large-scale sandstorm.

Technology, magic, and human skills are as weak as newborn babies in the face of the absolute power of nature.

The caravan was in the middle of the desert, with nowhere to hide, and the escort group formed a sand-proof barrier in place, the camels and the earth dragon were blindfolded and tied together, and the wagons were surrounded on the outside, using sand nets to protect the people hiding inside.

The caravan of 100 people probably built more than a dozen large and small sand control facilities in situ, in order to reduce the stress area, they are not connected with each other, but next to each other, and there is a large area from a distance, but it is spectacular.

Take off the goggles and lean on the camel lying on the ground, listening to the roaring wind and sand overhead, the sun seems to be hidden by the sandstorm covering the sky, the sky is dark and scary, there is no tool to visit the time around the forest, only know that the approximate time is around the afternoon,

I have lost my sense of time, and I can't tell how long the sandstorm has begun.

Sitting next to the forest was one of the crystallists who was sent to protect the caravan, it was a woman who was not very talkative and wore a gray cloth robe, and the identity certificate of a third-order crystallist hung around her neck, it was a ring with a strange shape, which was inlaid with three crystals, I don't know why this crystallist did not wear the ring on his hand, but wore a thread around his neck like a necklace,

This ring is issued by the crystallist association that operates independently of various countries on the mainland, and has a special certification method, which cannot be forged, this organization operates independently from any country, and is a powerful force composed entirely of crystallists, and has been committed to the research, education, development and exploration of crystal magic, and also has a kind of work such as crystallist level certification, which is an academic and authoritative institution,

Because of the affinity between the water attribute and the earth attribute, this female crystallist was endowed with a crystallography magic similar to quick-drying cement by the origin of the world when she reached the third order, which can instantly create a piece of cement-like substance that can be quickly hardened, and at this time it was just used to save the emergency, and was called to help strengthen more than a dozen sand control facilities.

Quercher handed her the water bag and motioned for her to drink some water, but the female crystallist waved her hand weakly and refused.

Quercus didn't care, took back the water bag and thought about drinking two sips of it, but one mouth poured a mouthful of sand,

Wrapped in a scarf and tried to look outside, the whole world was gray, and the sound of the wind whistling in my ears suppressed all other sounds,

The wind wrapped the sand on the exposed skin on the face as if thousands of knives were struggling to cut the skin, the goggles were clanged, the beating of the tree forest shrank its neck, and the earth dragon lowered its head motionless in place, covering most of its body by the yellow sand,

But the big guys of this native desert have long been accustomed to this climate, so there is nothing to worry about.

When a little sand accumulates on the camel's body, it will shake its body to let the sand fall to its side, and then take a step to the side, and there will be no problems for a while.

But look at this day, this sandstorm will not pass for a while, the worst plan is to spend the night here today, but it seems that there must be no way to make a fire, maybe it will be a difficult night,

The caravan set off because it carried a large amount of goods, in order to reduce the burden did not prepare enough water, the original plan was to replenish in the oasis in the middle of the route, but it was delayed by a sandstorm for a day, maybe the arrival time will be delayed, and I don't know if there will be a shortage of water.

Quercus Forest nested back to his place, the people around him did not communicate, everyone was immersed in their own world, looking at the dim and dark sky with the sound of the wind roaring in the sky, Quercus was a little in a trance for a while, as if he heard someone calling his name in his ears, took out the previous cactus juice and sniffed it, the pungent smell made Quercus sneez, the whole person was a lot refreshed, a little more energetic,

At this moment, Zha Lin felt a commotion in the group of camels tied together behind him, and shook his body uneasily, but because he was helped by the reins, he couldn't make bigger movements, so he could only snort uneasily in place.

The oak forest probed around, because the wind and sand were too big to see anything clearly,

In addition to the female crystallist who was working with the sand control fortifications just now, there were also two guards of the guard regiment and three coachmen, and everyone noticed the commotion of the camel herd at this time.

Camels are more alarmed than humans, and eighty percent of them have discovered something.

The guard pulled out her weapon, and the female crystal magician also took the ring that was worn around her neck to prove her identity, and at the same time took out a piece of earthy yellow crystal and held it in her hand.

The group was nervous for a long time, but nothing happened, only the whistling wind came from their ears,

Slightly relieved, a coachman didn't know if it was because he had been squatting for too long or because the atmosphere just now was too tense, as if he wanted to stand up and move his body, but he didn't think about stumbling to the ground.

Quercus wanted to go over and help him up, but suddenly, the sand in front of him flew up and down, and a bloody mouth full of teeth actually drilled out,

Adult sandworms!

The most feared creatures in this desert besides the beasts!

said that it was too late and that it was fast, Querca Lin grabbed the coachman and forcefully went to the side, and the huge mouthparts fell from the air to the bottom of the sand, and at the same time, several sandy places around him fell down at the same time.

More than one!

A huge sandworm came out of his back, and swallowed the camel that Quercus had just rested on, if it weren't for the fact that Quercus was eager to save people from the place he had just wore, at this time eighty percent would have been on the road.

The miserable neighing of the camel quickly disappeared into the wind, and at the same time, the sand control net was torn open by the sandworm, and the wind swept the sand in an instant.

Quercus Lin, who had just taken off the goggles, was blinded by the sand, felt a vibration under his feet, and instinctively threw himself forward, rolled forward on the ground, dodged the blow, and hurriedly took out the cactus liquid and sniffed it out, stirring up a little tears, and barely opened his eyes to see the things in front of him.

The huge sandworm behind him jumped out of the sand, but he pounced, and the lower half of his body was exposed, and the guard next to him found the opportunity to stab the spear in his hand into the huge body of the sandworm, and the sandworm writhed wildly in pain and wanted to return to the sand layer again, and threw off the guard's weapon in the rolling, and the huge body pressed towards the guard,

The female crystallist mobilized the elements to create a layer of cement wall in front of the guard, and the magic earth wall created in a panic had very low durability, only blocking the sandworm from disintegrating in an instant, but fortunately, at this moment, it created an opportunity for the guard, and finally escaped the fate of being suppressed,

At this time, the sandworm turned around and bit one of the legs of the coachman who had just fallen to the ground and was scared stupidly, and everyone had no time to rescue, and the coachman screamed and was dragged to the ground by the sandworm biting his thigh without a sound.

A wave of unevenness, the sand around the oak forest began to sink again, this time there was more than one, a total of three sandworms attacked the oak forest, the female crystallist directly at the foot of the oak forest made a fast cement baffle to block the attack of the sand worms, this baffle is not resistant to collision and pressure, and it was not bitten by the sand worms for a while, with the inertial impact directly with the top of the oak forest flew out,

Quercus was knocked on the head by the baffle, flew out and fell in the yellow sand, and fell into the stomach for a while, faintly unable to stand up, fortunately the yellow sand around it, reducing a lot of impact, otherwise, it would be a few bones to be broken.

After retching a few times, his stomach was not churning, he settled his mind and looked around, he could barely see anything clearly in the sandstorm, and his voice was muffled by the wind, and he didn't know where he was for a while, but he didn't think it was possible for him to leave the sand control facilities too far.

Faintly saw a burst of fire in the distance, probably other people were also attacked, the only fourth-order crystallist in the caravan was a short-tempered old gentleman with a single affinity for the fire attribute, he himself was a relative elder of a top family in Alma, and one of the envoys this time was the third heir of this top family, and was sent out by the family to experience, and this fourth-order powerhouse also went to protect this heir,

This grumpy old gentleman was recognized by the World Origin after reaching the fourth order, and was endowed by the World Origin with a crystallization magic that condensed flames and turned into spears, which is a crystallization magic that simply strengthens the attack power and its bursting, looking at the firelight in the distance, he should have also found a swarm of sandworms to join the battle,

Identifying the direction of the firelight, and planning his position in his heart, Zhalin walked towards the fortification where he was before,

The oak forest had just taken two steps, and suddenly, a huge sandworm came out of the sandstorm, and the huge mouthparts were completely opened, attacking from the front of the tree. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
