Sitting on the puppet, it is much easier to walk.

Although the puppet doesn't move fast, it is tall and long-legged after all, and it is as far as two or three steps away from ordinary people when it takes one step. Xiao Lei was idle and bored, so he chatted casually with Phoenix.

Although the beauty of the Nia elf clan didn't like to talk, her attitude was also gentler for the sake of Xiao Lei's contribution of the puppet as a means of transportation.

After chatting, Xiao Lei had a general understanding of the current situation of the Olympian Protoss.

Speaking of which, the four major races that now inhabit Olympia Divine City, in addition to the Protoss, the three subordinate servant clans, the Giant Clan, have a very sparse population due to special reasons...... The reason for this, with a lot of words, Xiao Lei understood it in his heart.

There are too many restrictions on how a ten-meter-tall male giant and a female giant who are shorter than the elves want to mate and reproduce...... Hell it is when the population can flourish!

And the elves ...... Xiao Lei glanced at the earring on the right ear of the elven beauty beside him, and there was a little more ambiguity in his eyes.

Hmph, the ...... of the circle and the fork The dignified patriarchs all took the lead in engaging in homosexuality, and the people below naturally engaged in it even more.

A race where homosexuality is prevalent has a pitifully small population base, and the population is naturally unlikely to prosper.

Speaking of which, the current three major servant clans are the strongest in the Centaur clan!

The Centaurs are born with a strong physique and extraordinary combat effectiveness. After thousands of years of breeding in this world, which can be said to have no natural enemies and very little threat to survival, the population has already surpassed the giants and elves, and is twice as large as the population of the other two races combined.

Even the real Protoss. The number of people is also much smaller than that of the Centaurs!

The most important thing is that because the elves are born with a fragile body, most of them mainly practice magic, even if there are occasional individual martial arts cultivators, because of the lack of congenital conditions, it is difficult to have much success because of the lack of congenital conditions and the style of bias towards skills. And the beauty of the elves makes them often like too fancy skills. In general, the elven race has not produced any powerful warriors in the past few thousand years. There are quite a few magicians.

The Giants, on the other hand, are in the exact opposite situation. The giants are born with a lack of talent for practicing magic, and the only thing that is desirable. It is born with infinite strength and belongs to a strong martial artist. However, after the age of 100 years old, giants are often too large in size, and in terms of cultivating martial arts, because of their large and bulky bodies, they can only prefer the path of strength, and their achievements are very limited.

And the Centaurs. It has a big advantage. The Centaurs are not only born with strong physique and good at martial arts, but also have no lack of magical talents, and do not have the Achilles' heel of population reproduction, so for thousands of years, it can be said that it has prospered in this small world!

For several generations, in the Castle of God, the reputation of the First Samurai was taken away by the warriors of the Centaur clan. If it weren't for the fact that the magic talent of the elves was stronger than that of the centaurs, I am afraid that they would even have the title of the first magician. It's going to be the Centaurs.

When Xiao Lei heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Achilles in front of him, whose face was cold and serious, and his expression was solemn.

"Before we retreated into this world. The Centaurs are the direct servants of the former god of war, Lord Ares. Now after the death of Lord Ares, the god of war, the position of the god of war has been vacant, and the centaur clan has occupied the reputation of the strongest warrior for several generations, and everyone knows that their greatest wish is to make the warriors of the clan become the new god of war! And once the centaur clan has a god of war, then the entire centaur clan can be promoted to become a formal god clan, out of the 'Dan clan' class. Phoenix introduced in a low voice, thought about it, and added: "Now that the Centaurs are powerful, even the temple can't disrespect them, and the weight of the Centaurs' words is far heavier than that of the Elves and the Giants." ”

Xiao Lei thought for a while, frowned, and said, "In this case, thousands of years have passed, why hasn't a Centaur warrior become the god of war in Xindi?"

Phoenix sighed: "How noble is the status of the main god, how can he do what he wants? The ancient rule of the Olympian god race, every main god must be canonized by the great father god Zeus. Therefore, although the Centaur are opposed to returning to the human world, they actually hope to awaken their father Zeus. For only after the Great Father has awakened, it is possible to canonize their warriors as the new gods of war. Moreover, the Centaurs have never given up on this ideal......"

"Oh?"

"Yes. Phoenix glanced at Achilles in front of him and said with a smile: "Each generation of young warriors will pick the three strongest people and let them walk down Mount Olympia and into the desert of death to experience a 'sacred ordeal'. This kind of sacred ordeal is the tradition of the Centaur clan, and only after experiencing this ordeal can one be qualified to become the strongest warrior recognized by the clan! In the end, the one who can get out of the desert alive will be the winner! But there can only be one winner!"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Lei's eyes flashed with a gleam.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Phoenix sneered, "There can only be one winner...... That is to say, once they enter the desert, the three strongest warriors of the Centaur clan will start killing each other! In the desert, they must not only fight each other for survival, but also for their wits and bravery......... The last victor who can get out of the desert has the blood of his companions on his hands!"

Xiao Lei's face sank, and after a while, he sighed in a low voice: "The weak eat the strong, the winner survives, and the weak are eliminated." This kind of law is a little cruel, but it is powerful enough. Speaking of which, looking at Achilles' gaze, I couldn't help but feel a little more serious.

Achilles suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xiao Lei. snorted and sneered loudly: "You guy understands the truth." ”

"Do you think I'm saying good things?" Xiao Lei sneered, his expression a little disdainful: "The law of competition is right, but your local method is very wrong. Originally, you were defeated and retreated into this world. What is needed is the sound of reproduction, like you, who are still constantly suffering from internal friction, which is called stupidity! What is the strongest warrior in the interior of the clan...... What's the point? There are only a few thousand of you in this world, what's the glory of competing for the first place? For the sake of this false name, each generation has to consume two of the strongest warriors in vain...... Hmph, I guess, this so-called death test of yours is not successful in every generation, is it? The three people who entered the desert may all be dead. None of them came out! According to me, your patriarch is an idiot! If you don't carry out this kind of boring test, then won't there be many powerful warriors left in the clan? Isn't it stupid to waste the lives of those powerful warriors in this desert and on such boring battles?"

When Achilles began to listen to the first two sentences of Xiao Lei, his face was furious, and he waited for Xiao Lei to finish speaking. The anger on his face subsided little by little, and there was a bit more complicated meaning in his eyes. He glanced at Xiao Lei deeply, but he didn't turn his face immediately, but shook his head.

His curly yellow hair fluttered gently, and his voice was still cold, but his tone was a little complicated: "What you said also makes some sense......

"Achilles was the last Centaur warrior to pass the death test...... He had spent a hundred hours in the desert that time!, and among the warriors who had entered the desert with him was his own brother......" Phoenix said to Ray in a low voice.

Xiao Lei nodded, probably understanding the reason why Achilles didn't turn his face just now.

Seemingly. He also has mixed thoughts about this kind of test.

But this guy is really good. I can stay in this kind of place for a hundred hourglass hours.

There is no day or night in this world, and time is calculated by an hourglass. One hourglass is about half a day in the world, and one hundred hourglasses is fifty days in the world.

Just as he was thinking of this, he suddenly saw Achilles in front of him raise his arm and make a stop gesture. Then he looked nervously left and right, his expression became solemn, and he sniffed the air vigorously......

Although the windproof field that Nia created with magic could protect a few people from the storm in the desert that was more powerful than a blade, the air still smelled of sulfur and smoke, and it was very hot.

Looking at the solemnity on Achilles' face, Xiao Lei also realized that something was happening.

Sure enough, Achilles said loudly: "Attention, there may be something underground in front of us......"

Xiao Lei had already jumped off the puppet, Phoenix was already close to Nia, and a ball of light was already coming out of Nia's hand, probably some kind of fireproof magic.

"What's the matter, is the underground flame about to erupt?" Xiao Lei raised his eyebrows. Although he is not afraid of fire, he still has three companions in this line, and they are incorruptible like himself.

"Hmph, do you think there's only underground flames here?" Achilles still didn't have a good tone for Xiao Lei, he had nervously taken out two spears from the sleeve behind the leather armor, held one in one hand, and slowly stepped back under his feet, staring nervously at the front. The muscles in his arms were tense and he was clearly ready for battle.

Suddenly, about twenty paces ahead, the yellow sand on the ground suddenly erupted, but this time it was not like an underground flame erupting, when the flame erupted, the yellow sand seemed to be sprayed up in a straight line, but this time it was sprayed in a radial shape. Then I saw that a small sand dune was gradually piled up on the ground, and the sand dunes were still moving! Like waves on the surface of the water, they slowly swam back and forth, and then gradually came to Xiao Lei and the others.

"Something in the sand?" said Xiao Lei frowned. And at this moment, new sand dunes appeared on the ground in front of them! Each of these sand dunes was about half a meter high, and when I counted them carefully, there were dozens of them!

The dunes all seemed to be alive, swimming back and forth on the surface, and it was clear that there must be something underneath!

Phoenix in the back was also obviously surprised: "What is it? How can there be creatures in the Death Desert?!"

Xiao Lei sneered: "How is it possible?"

"But this is a desert of death! There is no water, no food, and the desert is full of flames that can melt metal...... "Phoenix clearly didn't know much about the desert. Xiao Lei just looked at Achilles with a mockery in a sneer on the side, and he understood, he sighed: "What are you talking about? Life is originally a wonderful thing." The kind of little bugs and cockroaches in the world, you know. Cockroaches can survive for hours in boiling water without dying, and even if their heads fall off, they can survive for a long time...... You can guarantee that there is not a single creature in the world that can survive in the fire?"

"Alright. Achilles spoke, he grabbed the fingers of the spear hard, and his tone was calm: Don't talk about it, let's talk about it if you have a life!" He narrowed his eyes, and suddenly glanced at Xiao Lei: "I hope you, a powerful warrior in the East, will not disappoint me...... I'm in charge of the left, and you're in charge of the right...... Be careful, the signs of their activity now seem that we have trespassed into their colonies...... Now you look at the sand dunes in front of you, and they're starting to make a detour to the sides. It's ready to surround us!"

"What the hell is it?" said Raylei.

"A nasty thing. Achilles glanced at Xiao Lei: "Do you have any weapons?" If not, I can lend you a spear. Be careful, though. They are very capable of carrying and striking well. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a rustling sound in front of me, and several sand dunes on the ground suddenly collapsed, and several black shadows were revealed!

I saw that these monsters were about half a meter long, and their whole bodies were black and shiny, and they looked like they were hard shells!

They have a lot of feet. The body is long and flat, with a pair of huge pincers in front, and behind it, a tail that stands tall and stands tall with a hook like a blade!

Then the dozens of piles of sand dunes collapsed one after another, revealing dozens of huge scorpions below!

These scorpions are half a meter long at the smallest, and the largest is already close to a meter! Distributed on the left and right, they have obviously surrounded Xiao Lei and the others from both sides!

And he heard a rustle. Suddenly, the first few of them had already rushed towards Xiao Lei and the others! These scorpions moved very quickly, swimming in the sand. The kind of sound it makes people feel creepy!

"Drink!!" Achilles suddenly let out a loud shout, and the two spears in his left and right hands had already shot out with a strong wind!

After the two rays of light, two graceful arcs were drawn in the air, and they were accurately inserted into the backs of the two scorpions!

One of the scorpions was immediately pierced by a spear, and its body was nailed to the ground, and the blood that flowed out of its body was actually burning like magma!!

And the other one, the spear shot by Achilles, shot at the scorpion with a volume of nearly one meter, but it couldn't shoot it through at once, and only slightly pierced the shell on its back, and the spear had already bounced off!

What a hard thing!

Xiao Lei was also shocked when he saw it. How powerful Achilles' spear is, although Xiao Lei has never experienced it personally, but he has seen his spear thrown with his own eyes, even if it is in the white magic stone in the god city, he can make a hole!

But now you can't even pierce a scorpion?

Achilles stopped in his hand, quickly drew two more spears from his back, and threw them with great force. The spear in his hand shot out endlessly, each spear was extremely accurate, hitting the target, and several scorpions in front of him who launched an attack were all pierced by him without exception, although there were two hard back shells, which were not immediately pierced, but they were also injured and quickly retreated.

"Stand back! Stand back!" Achilles shouted, he was at the front, the spear on his back was already half thrown, his eyes were fixed on the scorpion group in front of him, and he gritted his teeth and said: "We have broken into their colony, just get out! These scorpion dragons are very territorial, as long as they withdraw from their territory, they will not be attacked." ”

On the other side of Xiao Lei's responsibility, there were also a few scorpions that began to move, and Xiao Lei snorted. He didn't have any weapons, just a flick of his fingers.

With a thud, a golden light shot out from his fingertips, and he immediately hit a scorpion. But what surprised him was. The scorpion was hit by the golden light, but it only bounced away, rolled twice on the sand, and then turned over again, shook it, shook its tail, and suddenly rushed towards Xiao Lei!

"It's so hard. Xiao Lei sneered, and immediately changed his finger to a single palm, and a void slashed out, and immediately sent out a sword aura! With a snort, the scorpion had been cut in half! Red body fluids like magma flowed all over the ground!

And what surprised Xiao Lei happened below!

The scorpion swarms that didn't attack immediately in the back. Suddenly, he rushed up, but instead of immediately attacking Xiao Lei and the others, he went towards the corpses of those dead scorpions, actually eating the dead scorpions, and those magma were burning and burning flaming body fluids, as if they were the favorite delicacy of these scorpions!

In an instant, I saw that the dead scorpions had been eaten! Even Xiao Lei couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp.

"I'm going to make a fork. Xiao Lei roared, and the huge puppet behind him had already strode forward, raised a foot, snapped on the ground, and stepped on it heavily, immediately trampling a scorpion to shreds, but then a magma-like flame appeared on the ground, and it quickly burned, and the puppet's feet were actually burning! The puppet actually let out a painful whimper. The four faces on his face that were originally happy and sad turned around, and Xiao Lei panicked, seeing that the metal on the puppet's feet actually began to melt. Drops of sweat-like liquid flowed from the surface, and he quickly let out a roar and put the puppet away.

With a bang, the puppet disappeared in front of everyone and was received into the Qiankun bag by Xiao Lei. There were more and more swarms on the ground, rustling densely on the sand, but they did not attack everyone immediately, but slowly approached step by step, one left and one right.

Achilles shouted, "Retreat!"

He pulled Nia and strode backwards, and Xiao Lei and Phoenix followed him, but suddenly he heard a dense rustling sound from behind, and as far as he could see, scorpions suddenly came out of the sand! These scorpions were densely packed together, from dozens to hundreds, and from hundreds to thousands!

Seeing that the front and back were already surrounded, Xiao Lei frowned: "Why are there so many?" Phoenix also seemed to be a little panicked: "Let's fly over." ”

"Huh, fly?" Achilles' expression was distorted, he gritted his teeth, and stared at Phoenix: "Lord God's Messenger, do you think you can fly over?"

Sure enough, I saw that in the scorpion group, there was a buzzing sound, and then I saw countless black shadows popping out of the scorpion group, and the hard shells behind those scorpions suddenly separated, and in the vibration, they turned into two thin wings, and with a buzzing sound, countless scorpions flew up......

"Lord Divine Messenger, you insist on entering the desert, the current situation is something you didn't expect!" Achilles said in a calm tone, staring at Phoenix.

He pulled Nia over, put her on his back, and whispered, "Teacher Nia, please ride on my back first, we can only rush out in one direction with all our strength!"

"Hmph!" Xiao Lei snorted, hugged a circle with both hands, shook his arms, and shot out dozens of sword qi from his hands! In the sneer, the snort was full of light, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal! As if a piece of wind swept away the fallen leaves, those scorpions flying in the sky in front of him were hit by the sword qi and fell! Xiao Lei's face was even more murderous, and suddenly a cloud of ice blue aura appeared on his body, and the corners and sleeves of his whole body also flew up, and I saw him push with one palm......

With a loud bang, a ball of golden light suddenly burst out from the group of scorpions in front of it......

"What a powerful fighting spirit!" Achilles looked at Xiao Lei deeply: "But you're going to waste your fighting spirit, it's useless, you see ......"

Xiao Lei frowned and looked, and saw that his palm just now hit the scorpion group in the air, although it looked amazing, but the palm power only knocked over a bunch of scorpions, most of them just rolled on the sand and turned over again, only a dozen or so were beaten by the palm force, just in the dense scorpion pile, it was covered up in a moment.

"What a tough guy!" Xiao Lei raised his eyebrows. But he didn't take this kind of thing in his eyes after all, and a serious look finally flashed in his eyes. Seeing that the ice-blue light on his body suddenly brightened a little more, Phoenix next to him suddenly screamed, "Stop!"

She suddenly rushed up and grabbed Xiao Lei, although she was immediately bounced away by Xiao Lei's arrogance, but she hurriedly shouted in a hurry: "Have you forgotten what I said? You can use your strength too much here......! This space is going to collapse!"

Achilles glanced at Xiao Lei and sneered: "Idiot, do you think that only you can use fighting energy? This kind of thing is called a scorpion dragon! Their shells are extremely hard, several times harder than the strongest armor! Because they live in the flames of the ground! Their bodies are not even afraid of that kind of flames! And their food is flames!" He carefully drew two more spears in his hand and shouted: "They don't attack us now, as if they are waiting for something." Let's not act rashly...... Watch out for their tails, the scariest part of these scorpions' attacks is their pincers, but their tail......s! You've seen their bodily fluids, and they're simply burning flames!"

Xiao Lei snorted, he put his hands behind his back, looked coldly at the scorpion group in front of him as if he was waiting for something, suddenly glanced at Phoenix, and said with a smile: "I suddenly feel very strange...... There are a large number of such strange and powerful creatures in your world, how can you survive safely for thousands of years without being killed by these scorpions?"

Achilles said coldly: "These scorpions can only survive in the desert, and once they leave the underground flames, they will not be able to survive. And these things have a strong sense of territory, so they won't invade everywhere......"

Phoenix suddenly shouted: "Achilles!!There is such a terrible life in the Death Desert, why do you Centaurs keep reporting to the temple!!"

Achilles glanced at Phoenix with a sarcasm in his eyes: "Do you think the temple doesn't know......?"

The mocking look on his face was not concealed, and he pointed at these scorpions: "Where do you think the armor on the armor of the temple comes from? Hmph, let me tell you, it is all made from the shells of these scorpions! Phoenix, you are just a small oracle who has returned here from the human world, and you are not qualified to know this." ”

"What a noise. Xiao Lei said lightly.

He stretched out a finger and lazily plucked his ear, and pouted: "Isn't it just a bunch of rotten insects? Don't you think it's strange? Why are they just gathered here, but not near us?"

With that, he slowly took three steps forward......

Something strange happened, he took three steps forward, but the group of scorpions in front of him suddenly retreated, no more, no less, just the distance of the three steps taken by Xiao Lei.

"Interesting. Xiao Lei tried to take two more steps back, and the scorpion group in front of him immediately forced over.

"Aha!" Xiao Lei laughed and turned his head to look at the three of them: "Are they afraid of me?"
