Chapter 18: The Helu Desert
I don't know how long later, the black train drove into a vast black desert. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Through the car window, the scenery outside became more distant, and the towering mushroom rocks in the black desert were in a myriad of forms, as if the hands and feet of demons were sticking out of the ground, eerie and eerie. Small caves and pits, round or irregularly oval, formed by wind erosion on steep windward rock faces, make these black deserts even more bizarre.
The noonday sun is particularly dazzling, the black sand unique to the Black Earth Continent shines brightly in the sun, the sand dunes ripple like ripples, rippling wave after wave to the edge of the railroad tracks, the whole black desert is like flowing oil, and occasionally a few green towering plants appear, the color of these plants contrasts strongly with the surrounding black sand, which is particularly eye-catching.
The recruits in the car saw valleys, forests, rivers and cities along the way, but it was the first time they had seen such a spectacular scene, but for some reason, such a magnificent picture outside the car window did not make people happy in any way.
Because of the hue here, it's really cold and terrible.
Just when everyone was paying attention to the magnificent scene outside the car window, Fan Shengxue and Captain Klin quietly left the third carriage without knowing when, and the door of the third carriage was also locked.
The black train continued to move, and in the midst of this endless black sand, a behemoth appeared.
This is a castle-like building, but on the periphery of this building, there seems to be a semi-circular protective shield, and sporadic birds will make a burst when they hit the invisible protective shield, which will instantly disappear, which makes the castle around it flicker from time to time, like stars in the dark night.
Some people in the car speculated that this huge castle standing in the black desert should be the Warsong Fortress.
However, the distance between the train and the castle did not close to the huge structure, but went farther and farther, and the shadow of the castle became smaller and smaller, and after passing a tall sand dune, it disappeared completely.
Twenty minutes after driving through the dunes, there was a strange noise in the carriage, and then everyone fell backwards, and the carriage jolted a few times before it finally stopped, but the rumbling of the locomotive became clearer, and the sound faded away and soon disappeared.
The people in the car, through the still scene outside, confirmed that the train had stopped.
"Huh? Is it already here? Why is there no hint at all?"
"How is it possible, there is nothing but sand around here, and it must be far away from that War Song Fortress!"
"yes, what the hell is going on?"
The crowd exploded, everyone stood up, and someone began to look for Kling and Van Shengxue, but they did not get any response, they went to pull the door of the carriage, only to find that it had been locked from the outside.
Just then, a freshman sitting in the front noticed something even more surprising, he opened the window and poked his head out.
When he saw this, the whole person was completely stunned.
It turned out that he was surprised to find that their carriage did not stop, but broke away from the carriage in front of him and was abandoned here by them.
"Damn! why are we thrown here!" exclaimed the boy.
The others also hurriedly leaned over, and they realized the seriousness of the problem, it seems that this carriage was really disconnected from the front and stopped here.
"What should we do? They must not have found out yet, we need to call for help!"
"Yes, we have to find a way to contact them, this place is deserted, in case there are any fierce beasts or monsters, our carriage may not be strong!"
Liuchen also stood up, but he didn't feel too nervous, or he was already prepared. It was not difficult to hear from Fan Shengxue's words just now that before entering the Battle Song Fortress, this group of recruits would obviously undergo a special test.
In Liuchen's view, the disconnection of this carriage is just a prelude.
Similarly, Mu Li, Sarojia, Red K, Decepticon Yunyu and others also understood the intentions of these officers, and several of them had already begun to organize their backpacks, and Sarojia had even taken out their weapons.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the horn in the carriage to sound, the signal in the desert didn't seem to be good, and after the harsh noise, there was an intermittent sound from the horn, which sounded like it came from a rugged man, but it was very imposing:
"On behalf of all the members of the Warsong Legion, I warmly welcome you recruits! You have taken a train from Meteor Street for a day and a night to the Helu Desert, and you have traveled all the way and worked very hard, and finally arrived at the Warsong Fortress. However, you rookies, don't be in a hurry to rejoice just yet! You are already close to the Warsong Fortress, but as a welcome ceremony for new recruits, you need to walk to the Warsong Fortress by yourself, of course, if you are still alive. ”
Listening to the voice of this big man, everyone looked at each other, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this challenge to meet them is just to shuttle through this black desert and find the battle song fortress in front of them.
However, the next content of this big man in the loudspeaker made them shudder.
"Of course, this process may be more difficult than you think, because not only you rookies are active in this black desert, but also ten E-class demonic beasts and one D-class demonic beast imprisoned in the Warsong Fortress are also foraging in this black desert, if you are unfortunate enough to meet them, then sorry, we dare not guarantee that you will not be able to make it here.
But don't be too nervous, now that you have become a member of the Warsong Legion, you naturally have to fight in the way of the Warsong Legion, that is, teamwork! In order to make your arrival smoothly, the headquarters has also divided the twenty-eight people in your carriage into four groups, each group of seven people, including five combatants and two doctors.
Any group that arrives safely will be rewarded with 5 military merits each, and the team that arrives first will also receive a 2-point ranking bonus in the order they arrived at the fort. In addition, if you successfully kill an E-class Warcraft, each team will receive 1 military merit point. Successfully kill a D-rank Monster and each team will receive 2 military merits. If anyone in the group loses their lives, then the whole team will not receive military merit. So, I hope you can unite and work together, and protect the doctors in your team, and arrive at Warsong Fortress safely!"
The Warsong Legion has a tradition of maximizing the benefits of teamwork and avoiding individual heroism, even in their introductory ceremonies for recruiting new recruits.
There was another loud sound from the horn, and then, above the closed door, a list slowly appeared, and the list of twenty-eight people in the car had been grouped.
Everyone followed the list and went to look for their teammates, Liuchen also saw the list and found that he was divided into the fourth group, his teammates were, Red K, Feng Xun, Lister, Da Zhuang and two girls who were selected for the medical class, Aisi and Misha.
In the group of flowing dust, except for the elemental magic pattern of the arcanist, the other three are all demon warriors, especially Da Zhuang, which is simply a standard warrior physique, and also as a crab man, his body is much taller than Ali, and the solid carapace on his chest has grown out of the unique defensive hard spines of adult crab people, and when he walks, the muscles of his two arms allow him to only walk.
Liuchen saw that Avril was assigned to Mu Li's group, which made Liuchen feel a little relieved, after all, he was still very confident in Mu Li's strength, not to mention that he really didn't want to see his partner being killed by the Demon Beast again.
After everyone found the group, Avril came to Liuchen's side, stuffed a small bottle of ointment into Liuchen's hand and said:
"Liuchen, you must be careful, it's a pity that I didn't get into your group, but I'm sure you will be able to get out of here alive, this ointment can treat simple injuries, you take it." ”
Liuchen rubbed Avril's head, and the terrifying appearance of the C-class demonic beast he had encountered before resurfaced in his mind.
"Thank you, you must be careful, Mu Li is very powerful in your team, don't leave his side, you can keep this ointment for yourself! I have lost Ali, a good friend, I don't want you to encounter any danger!"
Avril's eyes moistened, but she couldn't get through the dust, and the ointment was stuffed back. Her companion called for her, and she had no choice but to return to her companion.
Liuchen followed her to Mu Li's second group and said to Mu Li:
"Mu Li, I want to ask you to do me a favor!"
Mu Li raised his head, glanced at Liuchen nonchalantly, and muttered:
"You can say it, but I don't promise to say yes. ”
"Help me take care of Avril, please!"
As soon as Liuchen's words fell, one of Mu Li's companions laughed and sneered:
"Hehe, do you really think you're a good B, take care of yourself, this girl is the doctor of our team, of course we have to protect her, and we still need you to worry about it?"
Mu Li glared at the companion, who snorted and flashed to the side.
"I see. Mu Li replied.
"Please, thank you!" said Liuchen.
Just as Liuchen and Mu Li were talking, the wind rose behind Liuchen, and at the same time, someone called him aloud:
"Hey, that kid, you're dusty, what are you doing there? The door is already open, you're still there, come here!"
Liuchen looked back, and sure enough, the door of the carriage had been opened, and the members of each group couldn't wait to get off the car, and the person who was waving at him was the crab man Da Zhuang.
Liuchen looked at this familiar figure, his heart palpitated, and at the same time, his revenge heart became stronger.
He had secretly sworn in his heart that he would not let go of a demonic beast in this initial test!
Liuchen and the second group got out of the car together, and when they were about to part, Avril looked at Liuchen uneasily again, and Liuchen struggled to squeeze out a smile and waved at her.
"Hey, it's endless, come here!" Da Zhuang patted Liuchen's shoulder again.
Although his movements were only enthusiastic, Liuchen's feet were still sunk into the black sand by him for several feet, and the soft sand flowed into the socks.
Liuchen walked over and found that everyone was waiting for him, Red K hugged his shoulders, and his petite body was stuck in the sand because part of it was in the sand, it looked more like a little Lori.
"Well, now that everyone is here, let's introduce ourselves first!" Da Zhuang said with a smile.
Red K waved his hand happily and said:
"How can I have time to introduce myself, you see that the other groups have started to run, and after chatting in the car for so long, I think everyone knows each other very well, let's talk while walking! I know all of them, eh, I haven't seen this guy! What's your name?"
"Drifting dust. ”
"Oh, you're Drift Dust?" Liszt narrowed his eyes, looking at Drift Dust with some surprise.
"What's so famous?" Red K looked at Flowing Dust curiously.
"Hehe, you haven't heard of him, defeat the one who decepticon!" said Liszt.
Red K pursed his lips and said with a look of disdain:
"Oh, it's him, but that Decepticon Yunyu is not very good, I can defeat him as well!"
Liuchen didn't answer, after all, his mind wasn't here at all, but his mind was full of thinking about how to defeat the Demon Beast.
The group briefly introduced themselves as they ran through the Black Desert, which was so vast that it was difficult to discern directions, but the route of the four groups of recruits was surprisingly consistent, that is, along the railroad tracks.
Because, anyway, the train had already passed the Warsong Fort just now, and as long as you walked down the tracks, it shouldn't be difficult to find the Warsong Fortress.
However, these four groups of recruits didn't go far before they immediately realized that their approach was not working!
