Chapter 33: A Dangerous Desert

Just when everyone was sitting on the ground and concentrating on dealing with the food in their hands, suddenly there was a commotion not far away, and everyone looked stunned, only to see several figures under the sand dunes not far away running desperately towards the desert on the side.

"Someone is going to run away......"

Everyone immediately understood what was happening, couldn't help but forget the food in their hands, opened their mouths wide, stood up, and craned their necks to look there.

Strangely, none of the guards in the team paid any attention to the actions of the fugitives, not even the gray gnomes standing beside them and the dark elves sitting on top of the evil lizards, who did not show anything out of the ordinary, just calmly and indifferently watched the human prisoners run further and further into the distance, without any movement.

Just when those figures were about to turn into a small black dot in everyone's sight, a vision suddenly appeared. I saw a huge figure suddenly burst out of the sand under their feet, and the huge impact force pushed the running figures into the air in a blink of an eye, and then quickly disappeared into the obvious open mouth of the figure, and then the huge figure disappeared under the sand, without a pause, only to see that after a burst of sand and dust dissipated, there were no more figures on the empty desert, as if nothing had ever happened on the calm desert.

"Ah......h

All the human prisoners who watched their companions flee let out a single exclamation of surprise, and they were all stunned at what had suddenly happened.

"What's that?"

"What's going on?"

A cry of terror suddenly sounded, and the fear of the unknown and terrible existence in front of him made the uneasy aura permeate the hearts of every human prisoner, and it was about to explode.

"Shut up. ”

A voice full of majesty sounded sharply in everyone's ears, causing everyone to froze for a moment, and the noise immediately disappeared, and the whole area fell silent for a while.

Ite craned her neck to look around, unable to tell which direction the voice was coming from.

The cruel reality is much more effective than any threatening words, the terrible scene that happened in front of them made all the human prisoners silent, and everyone suddenly realized where they were, the desert under their feet is one of the most terrible forbidden places of death on the legendary continent, not to mention the terrible monsters hidden everywhere, even if there are no terrifying creatures, in this vast desert with difficult directions, just lack of water and food, it will not take long to get lost and trapped in the boundless desert.

As a result, the commotion that had just risen was extinguished in an instant, and the whole area was silent.

"There's still half an hourglass to go. ”

The cold words pulled Ite back to reality from his fear, turned his head to look at the gray gnomes and the hourglass beside them that had leaked half of the fine sand, he hurriedly stuffed the dried meat in his hand into his mouth, chewed hard, rolled his eyes and swallowed hard into his throat, reached out and snatched the water bag from Poole's arms and poured a few mouthfuls of water, gasping and sitting cross-legged on the sand, secretly staring at the cold disdain and a little banter in the eyes of the short guards, secretly chewing a few words in his heart, and waiting anxiously for his companions to finish eating the food, so that they could go to solve the personal hygiene problem together。

"What the hell was that monster just now? Swallowing those guys in one bite is too powerful, isn't it? That monster won't sneak up at our feet and swallow us in one bite, right?"

Itet couldn't help but stretch out her head to ask Alex who was eating in Mance methodically, and from time to time she looked around the sand with palpitations.

Alex slowly passed the last bit of jerky to his mouth, and then took the water bladder handed by Little Safin and drank a few sips of water before slowly speaking: " It should be some magical beasts that live in this desert of death and are accustomed to lurking under the sand, but the distance is too far, and the process is too short, and it is impossible to see what kind of underground demonic lizard-like demonic beast it is, or something else, but rest assured, that big guy will not run into us, after all, there are so many evil lizards gathered here, and ordinary demonic beasts will not be stupid enough to risk provoking trouble with a group of powerful opponents to attack us. ”

Although everyone felt a lot more settled after hearing Alex's words, after hurriedly solving their personal problems, they still didn't wait for the hourglass to completely leak before hurriedly getting into the iron cage, after all, they were close to the evil lizard's side, plus a layer of strong iron cage as protection, which could make people find a little sense of security in their hearts.

The gray gnome who was guarding the side was also re-locking the cage door, and left after cleaning up the plates.

Soon after getting into the iron cage again, the sun was gradually rising overhead, and the scorching light shone directly in the desert without a trace of obstruction, and the temperature on the surface of the sand rose rapidly, and soon everyone had a feeling of being in the hot environment of the middle of summer, at this time, Ite finally knew the meaning of the evil lizard as the best choice for crossing the desert that Alex had told before, and also saw the scene of the magic beast for the first time.

Maybe it's because these huge ice beasts have a natural aversion to hot and bright sunlight, and when everyone hasn't felt how unbearable the hot and dry temperature is, these evil lizards that were originally lying in the shadows of the sand dunes are resting in the shadows of the dunes, they all writhe their bodies irritably, and then a thin and transparent mist suddenly bursts out from their bodies, quickly spreading outward to form a hemispherical barrier, enveloping everyone.

A cool and moist feeling suddenly hit everyone's face, and the feeling of heat disappeared suddenly. Before everyone could take a closer look, the huge evil lizards stood up one after another, and without seeing the guidance of the rider sitting on them, they writhed their bloated bodies and burrowed towards the bottom of the dune.

The invisible barrier that exuded a slight coolness was able to block the fine grains of sand, so when the evil lizard completely burrowed its huge body into the sand dunes, a jaw-dropping scene appeared, with the huge body of the evil lizard as the center, an even larger hemispherical space appeared in the dunes, as if a huge bubble was formed in the sand dune, everyone was in the center of the bubble, but there were fine sand grains all around.

By the faint light, everyone looked at the dense sand above their heads and around them in amazement, and for a moment there were exclamations.

"This ...... This is the Frost Barrier? Wow...... It's amazing...... This is the power of magic?"

Ate's mouth opened wide without grace and murmured admiration.

"yes...... It's amazing......"

Poole looked around with his mouth wide open like Gores, subconsciously agreeing.

"Hmm...... A group of guys who have never seen the world, just a low-level defensive magic, are so surprised that they can't close their mouths, it's really rare and weird......"

Little Safent whispered a few surprised expressions of surprise from his companions, and at the same time looked around with wide eyes and curiosity.

"No wonder these guys are the best choice to cross the Death Desert, once the frost barrier is deployed, it can completely protect the riders from the scorching sun, and can also block the wind and sand, when the desert storm comes, you can also burrow under the sand dunes or under the sand to hide, and most importantly, you can also gather before dawn when the water element is rich to produce clear water, with such a monster as a foot force, it is really not a terrible journey to cross the Death Desert. ”

Little Safent seemed to finally understand the reason why Alex had a high opinion of this evil lizard before, and couldn't help but admire.

"And the most important thing is that although it is a low-level demonic beast, the herd of hundreds of evil lizards is strong enough to make some high-level demonic beasts retreat. Warcraft are extremely sensitive to danger, they can sense potential threats around them from a long distance, measure the strength of the threat, and can quickly make a judgment on whether to escape or move forward. A group of evil lizards under the command of the beast tamer, although it cannot be said that they can run rampant in the desert of death, but if they want to cross the desert safely, as long as they do not take the initiative to approach those forbidden areas, the safety is generally very high. ”

Alex added lightly.
