Chapter 040: Abide by the fire and walk in the light
The land of Sharo, famous for its deserts and historic pyramids, is mostly inhabited by followers of Ra, the 'Lord of the Sun and the Underworld'.
The same is true of Menkara, who is strict with himself according to the doctrine of 'Keeping the Flame and Walking in the Light'.
Along with the ace "Granite Giant", he served as Sharo's sentinel, responsible for watching the desert and guarding the monsters.
The desert is the most dangerous area in the country of Sharo, and it is rumored that the card master who is dragged into the quicksand and dies will become a 'revenant' wandering in the desert and unable to travel to the underworld.
The sentinels must always stick to the fire in their hearts, so that they can stay awake in the night desert like a crying wind.
In this environment, Menkara used his purple card 'Granite Giant' to sharpen himself into a fifth-order master-level travel card master.
He is not an anchor, but he will use virtual reality technology to train and have fun during his rotation.
"Heavy Sword Man is the anchor ID of Heavy Sword Wufeng."
Menkara took off his face, revealing a bronzed face and an indifferent look in his eyes, looking at his teammate Beowulf:
"He just broke Roman Ulysses' training room record."
The meaning of the warning is self-evident.
"Hmph, the daimyo has long been like thunder."
Beowulf was a two-meter-tall wild man, dressed in half-exposed leather armor and wielding a golden axe with a hideous face carved into the middle of the handle. He took up his axe and squinted:
"Sharo, don't hold me back."
Menkara put back on his hood and said, "Do it your way, I'll give you a boost...... Remember, prioritize attacking the epee. โ
"Got it, count down to three seconds, let's do a big job!"
At the moment when the countdown returned to zero, under the gaze of tens of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room, four pillars of light disappeared.
The next moment, the Epee and the Peerless Admiral were teleported to a random map: the desert.
[Field Card: Dead Desert: In the depths of the desert where no one is around, the sun is scorching, poisonous scorpions and pythons are rampant, and quicksand is surging. ใ
[Effect: As the desert overlaps day and night, the elemental buff effect will also change;
Dangerous quicksand will inflict 'Bond' status on random units, and if they cannot break free, they will enter 'Death' status. ใ
The audience was in an uproar.
"It's such a difficult venue again?!"
"This venue card is very difficult to draw, I really don't know if the anchor is lucky or bad!"
Compared to the 'Thunder Plains' that fought against Lao Wen last time, the environment of the 'Dead Desert' this time is even worse.
The seemingly calm desert sometimes rolls up in sandstorms, sometimes gets stung by poisonous scorpions, and sometimes falls into quicksand if you are not careful.
The duel of this terrain card is very difficult, and it tests not only the skills of the card masters of both sides, but also the tactical choice and psychological quality.
The epee man is strong, but with his teammates who are not strong, he is in the dangerous 'dead desert'......
The audience couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for him.
Lin Xiao looked up at the almost real scorching sun above his head, and looked forward again.
The heat evaporated the distorted air, and the endless desert had two sand dunes in the middle, a plain in between, and two figures stood on the top of the dunes in front of them, as well as a towering granite colossus.
Zhen Decai glanced at the silent heavy sword man, and said tentatively: "Brother, this picture is very difficult, why don't I go to the front to explore the way for you?" โ
"It's hard to return, and the goal to be defeated is very certain."
The heavy sakeman inserted his sword into the sand, looked at the sand dunes in front, and said in a dull voice: "I'll lean over with you." โ
"You're more experienced...... You go ahead. The epee man added.
"Gotcha!" Zhen Decai resisted the big axe on his shoulder, wore an iron helmet with military armor and two horns, and had the chic spirit of 'the king called me to patrol the mountain'.
Dishes are dishes, but at the same time, the dishes can hold the thighs steadily, which is also a kind of strength!
His sailors couldn't help but sigh.
"The heavy sword man is right, the general's death experience is indeed very rich."
"The character is still okay, I didn't let the general directly exchange his life for intelligence, and he can support in time if he follows behind."
Another sand dune.
Beowulf patted his back with a big axe, looked at the two figures on the plain braving the wind and sand, and grinned:
"Huo, you didn't run away, but walked towards us together?"
"Hey, Sharo!" Beowulf turned his head and shouted, "If you live in the desert for a long time, I won't fight with you, and the command will be given to you!" โ
Menkara glanced at the reckless man, nodded his head:
"No problem, in short, the desert seems flat, but in fact it is extremely complicated, they are full of quicksand in front of them on the left and behind on the right, and there is a nest of poison in the direction of four o'clock, which should be a scorpion. They were able to cover nearly half of the distance, and they were already favored by Lady Luck. โ
Halfway through the journey means crossing the "half-time", which is a very dangerous signal in the Caraver Matchup.
Beowulf silently appeared armed, and the large axe in his hand poured out blue light particles, covering his body, forming a heavy golden full-body armor.
He carried a short-handled axe in his hand, and wore a hideous golden helmet on his face, and asked a dull question:
"Just watching them come by?"
"Nope."
Menkara said indifferently:
"Since they can't step on the quicksand, give them a little 'help'."
Thundered!!
The granite giant 'buzz' beside Menkara activated.
The statue is made entirely of granite, with metal connections between its limbs and torso, and its face is carved with a mysterious pattern of card-making, and its eyes glow red.
Knock, knock, knock, the sand vibrates rhythmically upward.
The granite giants left a trail of deep footprints, their steps mechanically oppressive, descending from the top of the dunes ahead.
"It's, it's coming this way!" Zhen Decai swallowed his saliva and turned his head to ask for help, "This is a purple card, a fifth-order purple card!" โ
"Is the fifth-order purple card strong?" Lin Xiao took the time to ask.
"It's not the kind of strong or not strong, that's the kind that is rare...... Wow, it jumped! โ
Granite Giant, second-order combat skill, stampede.
With the lifting of the perspective of the epee man, the audience saw a shocking scene.
The huge granite giant actually jumped up from the ground and jumped to a higher height than the swordsman, his back covered the sky and the sun, and the two granite soles stepped down!
Lin Xiao's eyes flashed slightly, his back arched, and a cluster of black flames ignited in the palm of his clenched sword.
"Big guy beware!"
At the last moment, Zhen Decai pushed Lin Xiao away, and at the same time threw himself to the side.
Boom!!
Centered on the landing site of the granite giant, ten feet of sand were raised, and 'crackling' smashed on the backs of the two people facing the ground.
"Why are you pushing me?" Lin Xiao didn't pay attention just now, stood up with his sword, and asked.
It's like a game of LOL, I'm going to go up and slash with the sword demon 'big annihilation', and you pushed people away with a big move?
Zhen Decai was lying in the flying sand, facing this side, with a hint of sincere guilt and flattery in his smile:
"I'm not, I'm afraid you'll fall, this is no one."
The live broadcast room was full of laughter.
"I'm happy to die, it's a show!"
"Someone else's assistance: command, control, rhythm in one go. แ(`โฟยด)แ
My auxiliary: Woo woo I pushed the other side away just to save you. (เฎฯเฎ)โ
There was no time to interact with the barrage, the granite giant's heavy fist swung down, and Lin Xiao raised his sword to block.
Clang!
Sliding backwards stirred up two rows of flying sand, but he also lost his strength and adjusted his stance, clenched his greatsword, and looked directly at the tall stone statue.
'The Granite Giant's 'Mallet Strike' skill was completely blocked? โ
Menkara stood at the top of the hill and observed, a little surprised, frowning slightly.
Fortunately, another tactic was achieved, and the 'Peerless Admiral' entered the quicksand area in the collision just now, and with his strength, he could not break free from the quicksand, so he could only be forced to wait for death.
The epee is best rescued, so he must be restrained.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't rescue, let him face the granite giant and the 'Golden Axe' at the same time while watching his teammates be swallowed by quicksand!
A trace of painful memories flashed in Menkara's eyes, which were fleeting, and he said calmly:
"Golden Axe, it's your turn."
"It's a show!"
Beowulf let out a series of strange cries, armed with gold and armed with a large axe, and galloped down the hill.
"Sneak attack!"
Beowulf gripped the hilt of his axe in both hands and slashed at the heavy swordsman from behind as he slashed at the granite giant.
Adamantite Axe, third-order combat skill, guillotine.
"Effect: Jump slash to deal damage, with a very low probability of triggering the 'decapitation' state, and kill in one hit. The jump splitting process will be interrupted."
The epee man swung a circle of great swords, and the bladeless heavy sword slapped Beowulf in mid-air like a door panel.
Beowulf rolled his face twice in a row and buried his face in the sand, and when he lifted it, he shook his face and bared his teeth:
"The sneak attack failed."
At the same moment, Zhen Decai tried to pick up the pear blossom axe, and was horrified to find that his feet were entangled in quicksand.
The more you struggle, the faster you fall! I can only watch my teammates being attacked on both sides, but I can't even break free from the quicksand!
Zhen De realized that the heavy swordsman's gaze glanced over here and paused for a moment.
"Don't, don't ......"
Zhen Decai puffed up his breath and shouted:
"Don't save!!"
