Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Tyrant of the Desert (I)

It was hot weather, it was noon, the yellow sand in the desert was hot, and our small caravan walked slowly in this vast hot space. The merchants www.biquge.info rode on the dragon birds, supervising the same group of dragon birds carrying heavy goods on their backs, and we also rode on the dragon birds and spread around the caravan, responsible for the guard of the entire caravan.

After walking for almost three hours, just as everyone was sweating, we heard a whistle when a group of desert bandits suddenly appeared in the distance and surrounded us from all directions.

There was an immediate commotion in the caravan, with some merchants shouting at us to meet the enemy, while others went to reassure the frightened dragon bird so that the goods above would not fall. In order to avoid being caught by the enemy, I asked the others to stay by the caravan, and only rode the dragon bird with Neil to approach the robbers.

At this time, the leader of the bandit group spoke: "Aren't these the imps you met some time ago? Haha, you actually became mercenaries? It seems that this mercenary group is not very good, this time you don't have the help of bounty hunters, so you should obediently hand over the goods to us, lest our sandstorm bandit group give you a hard time." ”

It turned out to be the robbers we encountered when we first entered the desert, these guys who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, and after being shot down by Jill a few times last time, they hurriedly retreated, thinking that they would be able to succeed this time?

I smiled calmly and said to him: "I'm sorry, just because we didn't do it last time doesn't mean we can't beat you, this time we still say the same thing, if you come over and grab it, you will definitely beat your mother and won't even know you in the future!"

The bandit leader was a little annoyed, and probably thought I was too arrogant, and his beard trembled with anger. Of course, I have a bottom in my heart, although there are many of them, but after the training of the mercenary group, our strength has obviously improved a lot, and we are still wearing a uniform mercenary combat uniform and close armor on our bodies, so there is absolutely no problem in dealing with these bandits.

"Stinky boy, toast and don't eat and drink, brothers, go!"

Dozens of robbers began to approach us from different directions, and Neil and I quickly retreated back into the caravan. "Everyone gets off the dragon bird, and the merchants hide on the side of the dragon bird and the cargo to avoid the battle from reaching you!Neil and Alan, you are in charge of magic attacks and ranged attacks!Emma, you are in charge of supporting magic, and give priority to me and Link to improve agility first!Annie, you are responsible for recovering everyone's injuries!Link, you and I are the main attacking force in front of and behind the team, and be careful not to let the bandits get close to the caravan!" I began to perform my duties as the leader of the team, giving orders to each team member.

The bandits' attack began, and because Emma first cast the agility-increasing wind magic "Swiftness" on Link and me, we were all as light as swallows, and the first few robbers riding on dragon birds tried to rush into the caravan, but Link and I were knocked to the ground before they could get to the ground. Neil and Eren supported us from a distance, occasionally taking out archers who tried to shoot cold arrows at Link and me from afar. After Emma cast the "Swiftness Technique" on Neil, Neil could release the "Tornado" immediately after archery, and suddenly the wind and sand filled the sky, in the flying sand and rocks, a group of us were safe and sound in the tornado, and some of the bandit group who could cast magic could not penetrate Neil's "Tornado" at all, so they could only wait for it to disappear outside the range of the tornado, and we could adjust it a little for the time being. Neil is indeed smart, using this method to make the bandits' crowd tactics useless at all, one-on-one they are not our opponents, and sooner or later their living force will be consumed by us.

Just as the tornado was about to disappear, and our mercenary team and the bandit group were ready to regroup and fight again, something strange happened, we felt a slight vibration on the ground, no, the sand, and there was a "boom" sound under the sand, as if it was coming from a distance. The sound is not very loud, but after only ten seconds, this sound is getting louder and louder from far to near, and at the same time, the vibration of the sand surface is getting stronger and stronger, making people stand unsteadily, like an earthquake.

At this time, Allen, who was standing next to me, turned pale and shouted in panic: "Captain, run away, the desert tyrant is coming!" I was still wondering how the term "desert tyrant" could be so familiar, but I heard a loud "boom", and a behemoth jumped out of the sand under the feet of several people in the bandit group, and lifted them and the dragon bird they were riding into the air, full twenty or thirty meters high, which was about the same height as the "dragon scroll" rolled people up, which shows the terrible power of its power!

I saw that this huge monster had a dragon-like appearance, a huge body, and a pair of huge black horns on its head, which were both sharp and thick, at least three meters long. These two horns grow on its sturdy head shield, and the front end of its jaw has a long, narrow beak-like mouth, and its body is yellowish-brown, and its entire huge body is supported by two strong hind limbs, and the forelimbs are connected to the wings, like the wings of a dragon bird, which are tucked in the abdomen of the body, and behind it is a long, thick tail, and at the end of the tail there is an extra ball-shaped piece of meat, which must be unbearable to be smashed by this thing.

At this time, the black-horned pterodactyl was attacking the hapless bandits in its vicinity, constantly stabbing the robbers and the dragon bird with its huge sharp horns like long sticks on a kebab, and then shaking its head to throw the corpses on the horns far away.

While it was attacking the robbers, I whispered to the merchants to flee the area, and after our mercenary team was in charge, I looked back at the scene of the desert tyrant's torture and murder, and asked Alan in horror: "Why did this monster come? Doesn't it mean that encountering it is like winning the lottery? This monster usually roams the desert, just like the Grim Reaper in the desert, and if it is in a bad mood or disturbs it with a tornado like Neil just released, it may be the reason why it came to attack us..."

As soon as Eren finished speaking, the bandit group had gradually quieted down, because by this time they had been beaten by the desert tyrant and scattered corpses all over the ground. As soon as the beast turned around and saw us, it slowly approached us, and I cried out in my heart that it was not good, and it seemed that it was not ready to let us go, and wanted to use us as live targets to practice.

"Damn, Anne and Emma, you are responsible for leading the caravan to continue to move forward, escape from this area as soon as possible, and the rest of the people will follow me to lure away the desert tyrant, and we must not let it attack the unarmed merchants, go!"

"You have to be careful, Chris, just lure it away, and you must come back alive!" Anne said nervously to me.

"Captain, I think it's better for us to split up, we're no match for it at all. Alan, who was next to him, began to retreat in a little despair.

"What do you say? What about the merchants? I promised them that I would make sure they reached their destination safely, and I must not break my word and go!" I glared at Alan.

By this time, the Desert Tyrant who was slowly walking towards us had raised his head and let out a long roar, which shocked some of the dragon birds in the caravan and rushed out of the caravan and ran away. And in the next second, I saw the desert tyrant stretch out its wings, bend down, and rush towards us, that huge body thanks to the strong hind limbs, it has already rushed in front of us in a few seconds, it is too fast!

"Spread out!" I commanded as I released a wind blade as I ran to the right to divert it from the caravan. Neil, Link, and Allen run to the left, so that no matter which side of the Desert Tyrant attacks us, the other side can flank him from behind, a tactic of our mercenaries.

My wind blade struck the Desert Tyrant's massive head shield, causing it no damage or slowing it down, but it did work to make it notice me. I saw that it made a bend and began to chase after me, and it was so fast that before I could get far it had already caught up with me, and it was about to trample me into a pulp!

I was ready to run, and since I couldn't run, I had to dodge! I immediately turned and ran head-on with it, and the next second I was about to be hit, and I immediately slid down and narrowly passed between the legs of the beast. The moment I slid past, I felt a large black shadow flash over my head, and I couldn't even open my eyes from the strong wind that the Desert Tyrant rushed over. What a strong physique, what a swift speed!

"Whoosh" Neil and Eren began to shoot arrows behind the Desert Tyrant, and Eren did not hesitate to shoot all the arrows at him with his crossbow, but the bow and arrows were as ineffective as if they were shot at the iron, and they fell down one after another.

Seeing that it didn't step on me, the desert tyrant immediately withdrew his wings to his belly and stopped, his huge body and super high speed brought a huge inertia, allowing it to glide on the sand for dozens of meters before stopping. It stopped and immediately turned around, spreading its huge wings and charging at me again, really biting at me, but by this time, Link had already run up to me and started to support me.

"Crack the Rock and Slash the Wind!"

Link's slash formed a big crack in the sand, directly hitting the desert tyrant's head shield, but it still had no effect! Oh my God~ This defense is too perverted! It is like an invincible chariot, its speed has not decreased at all, and it has been rushing towards us, and Link and I have to "escape" to the left and right again in embarrassment.

"The head shield on its front is so strong, let's attack it from the side! Also, close the distance with it, don't let it use this kind of long-distance dash savagely, or we will never have to keep dodging, and we won't be able to hit it!" I said to Link, who nodded, and the two of us followed the beast and chased after it, watching it glide for a few dozen meters before stopping, Link and I fought hard to catch up on its tail.

"Drink!"

Link was dexterous, and with a leap he had stepped on the Desert Tyrant's big tail, and then rushed to his back in one go. "Swift Slash Wind!" Link struck the beast on the back with an aerial slash, but it still had no effect on it, it didn't even scream, the leather was too hard, like steel, invulnerable, too tricky!

At this moment I had once again gotten between the legs of the Desert Tyrant, and its legs were so thick that they were like two giant pillars. "Boom Gun!" I struck both of its legs at the same time, and the effect of the attack was the same as Link's, like hitting a piece of iron, and there was a "bell" sound. At this time, Neil's "continuous fireball technique" also came, and 4 small fireballs hit the right wing of the giant beast in a row, "Huh~Huh~Huh~Huh~" After four sounds, the giant beast still didn't react at all, just a little smoke on its wings, and its physical defense and magical defense really reached the level of metamorphosis!

I was not reconciled, and when I looked up and saw the belly of the beast, it looked quite soft, not as hard as the skin in other parts, and I decided to try another attack. "Hah!" I used its legs to bounce back and forth, jumping higher and higher, "Aerial Boom Gun!" "As I approached the belly of the beast, I slashed its belly with a cross gun in the air, and finally made a shallow cut, but it still had little effect, and it didn't even leave a drop of blood. Damn, this is already the softest part of its exterior, so why don't you want me to burrow into its stomach and attack?

At last, the Desert Tyrant seemed to be annoyed by us, and I guess we were flying around like little bugs in his eyes, tickling his boots! It was just such a simple gesture that it had killed Link and me, and we had to keep jumping around and changing positions to avoid being thrown off or trampled to death, and there was no time to attack it again. After a while, the giant beast thought that this trick was too troublesome, and directly began to bend down and bow its head to dig the ground with its limbs, no, sand shaping, making my situation under it very thrilling, and being slashed by its giant claws was either dead or injured, so I had to jump out of it in embarrassment.

"Run! it's going to dive into the sand and attack!" Alan cried out in the distance, as he put away his "repeating crossbow" and began to run.

Link and I quickly dispersed, and by this time the Desert Tyrant had completely dived into the sand, and all I could see was a small "dune" rising slightly in the sand, gradually extending forward, accompanied by a "boom" sound and tremor. I saw that the "little sand dune" was moving quickly to the left in the same direction, and I looked forward in the direction it was moving, and its target was Allen, who was running upside and down!
