Chapter 208: The Desert at Night
The desert is reckless, the wind is howling, and the yellow sand covers the sky and the sun, as if it is about to swallow everything on the ground.
The group of Iris Adventure Groups had just walked out of the border of the Pena Kingdom and had just entered the desert for a few hours. The great desert, which was full of the smell of desolate death, gave them a grand welcome ceremony, and blew up a sandstorm of unknown scale, sweeping everyone into it.
"Amy! How long will this sandstorm last? ”
Maggie asked Amy aloud with some discomfort. She was curled up behind the tall sandtromon, and it was the first time she had experienced such a sandstorm, and she seemed in pain.
Amy also leaned against the back of the sand beast at this moment, and her posture was much calmer than that of Maggie.
"Looks like it won't stop for at least an hour!"
Amy looked around and replied loudly.
Hearing Amy's words, Maggie couldn't help but grit her teeth and raised her staff as hard as she could, and the blue light bloomed.
"Everyone! Come to my side! I use ice magic to block the wind and sand. ”
"Oh!"
An Ling responded, hurriedly hugged Talia who was sticking her face to her chest, and then took Sheena's hand tightly, and approached Maggie calmly step by step.
Maggie saw that the people around her had come over, gritted her teeth again, and chanted the magic spell with difficulty in the wind and sand, and the magic light of the staff in her hand flickered more and more.
In an instant, blue light erupted, and a huge cold current burst out.
I don't know how long it has passed, but the wind and sand dust in the sky have finally faded away.
The sky reappeared, but instead of a clear blue sky, it was already starry, and it was nightfall.
"Is it already night?"
Maggie tilted her head in annoyance, and with a stroke of her staff, she removed the surrounding walls of the ice realm that wrapped everyone like eggshells.
An Ling looked at the surrounding desert that seemed to have risen a little higher, and asked:
"Are we going to keep going? Or do you want to set up camp and settle down for debt first? ”
While speaking, Sheena gently handed over a kettle, and An Ling took it with a smile.
Talia on the other side also looked around and said:
"Let's keep walking, although it's night, but the vision is unexpectedly very bright and open, not much different from the day, it's okay to continue walking."
"Still can't."
Maggie shook her head, put away the staff in her hand, and rubbed her eyes a little tiredly.
"That sandstorm just now lasted so long that my magic power was almost exhausted, and there was only a little bit left, almost losing my ability to cast spells. Let's camp and rest on the spot. ”
"No! Can't camp here. ”
At this time, Amy, who had been observing her surroundings, spoke.
"The desert looks the same everywhere, but you can camp anywhere. Especially in places like this, let's keep going and at least find a place where we can stay. @ ”
"Forehead ......"
Maggie groaned uncomfortably, then forced herself to straighten up.
"Okay, let's move on. Wait until Amy finds a suitable place to stay. ”
Although she was mentally exhausted, Amy, a native of the desert, could not ignore her words, and she said that she should go on, and she should continue to walk.
The rest of the group didn't have any opinions, and the five of them each rode onto the back of the Shatuomon, and then continued on their way through the dark veil of starry night.
Talia is right, the desert is magical, and even at night, the scenery under the stars is still spacious and bright. It's not too inconvenient to travel in this case.
But Amy says it's just a temporary illusion, and the sky isn't completely dark yet.
It won't be long before the sky is completely dark, and the desert will fall into a terrible silence and darkness, and it will be almost impossible to walk in the desert in this case.
And striking a bright light in the dark night of the desert is also a very dangerous behavior in itself.
At this moment, walking on the endless black night and yellow sand, the five members of the adventure group have the taste of racing against time. But fortunately, they are all experienced adventurers, and they are all calm in this situation.
Time passed little by little, and the surroundings were all around.
It darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Look over there, it looks like there's a house over there!"
Talia shouted happily as she pointed at a reassuring one.
Amy looked in the direction that Talia was pointing, and sure enough, she saw a wall of ruins that was not complete, but it was not particularly ***, and her eyes lit up.
"Great! That place was just right for a barely overnight stay! ”
They were lucky enough to see a ruined wall in the desert at this time. It's a good place to stay in the desert.
"Let's go right now,"
Maggie said happily.
The five of them quickly pulled the reins to speed up the run, and finally reached the edge of the ruined ruins before complete darkness fell.
The ruins may have once been a tall temple-like structure, but now the ground is covered in yellow sand, and the roof is gone, leaving only a few brick and stone walls of varying heights and shapes, and a few pillars that have long since broken.
Just as the girls dragged their tired bodies and wanted to enter the ruins of the broken wall to set up camp, An Ling's eyes turned left and right, and then raised his hand and said loudly:
"Wait a minute, I seem to smell blood!"
"The smell of blood? Impossible, right? ”
Amy turned her head in confusion.
Suddenly, she seemed to feel that something was wrong with the sand under her feet, and when she looked down against the sand twice, she saw a pool of fools soaked red in blood in the dim magic light.
"Oh no, there's a situation here!"
Amy hurriedly said to Maggie.
With a solemn look on her face, Maggie jumped down from the back of the Sand Beast, took a few steps back, and looked around the ruins with the little magic power that was left in her soul.
"Damn...... The sand was so thick, and my magic was so little that it was hard to see. ”
Maggie gritted her teeth, then pointed to a place and said to Talia:
"Talia, go dig up the sand over there and see if you can dig anything?"
Talia nodded, cautiously moving forward. At the same time, a bright guardian light lit up on her body. This is Hina on the other side of the tacit understanding to exert a protective magic spell on her.
I saw Talia take out the long sword at her waist, use the scabbard to pull the sand on the ground, dig for a while, and suddenly dig out a mutilated sand with blood marks on it.
The faces of all the girls changed in an instant, the magic light on their bodies lit up, and they all entered a state of preparation for battle.
I saw Amy say in a heavy tone:
"Dead people, who have just died, their flesh and blood should have been eaten by something."
"An Ling, you come and protect me. Sheena, you're close to Amy. ”
Maggie said, rolling her eyes.
"Talia, you go to that place and dig again."
"Oh!"
Talia answered, and continued in the direction Maggie was pointing.
