When the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force massacred the war horses, it had already penetrated 250 kilometers into the desert. Another 250 kilometers to the northeast is the real hinterland of this seemingly vast and boundless desert.

Historically, few people have actually penetrated into the heart of the desert, and neither did Ikeda's army - at that time, the continent of Eminole was still in the Warring States period, the Sacred Desert Empire had just taken shape, and the major tribes were still strife, so the expeditionary force at that time only went deep into the desert area for about 200 kilometers at most to complete a series of raids, and did not make much stop in the desert hinterland. At that time, there was no other fierce army led by the Holy Dragon Knights outside the desert.

In the continuous battle, Chi Aotian has grown at an astonishing rate. Of course, this does not refer to combat skills and war command, after all, His Excellency Chi Aotian graduated as the chief of the Imperial Knight School, and his performance in both aspects is far above average. Chi Aotian's flaw is his character, especially in dealing with people, and he lacks all of Amy's natural leadership demeanor. 10,000 miles across the Huayu Plain, nearly 100 battles of all sizes, of course, there are successes and fiascos, and the flaws in Chi Aotian's character are washed away by this big ups and downs.

Seeing that many teenagers covered the blood stains with yellow sand, and at this time, the red sun had already set at the westernmost end of the desert, Chi Aotian waved his hand, and the officers directly under him immediately ordered the army to open again. On the incomplete military map, it is indicated that about 100 miles due north of this generation, there is an oasis, which is the last destination of the legions in the desert, where they must be replenished with food and water, and by the way, a considerable number of camels must be obtained under various pretexts.

In most common sense, camels are just a desert vehicle, but in fact, camels run quite fast, definitely no less than war horses, and have long endurance and tall stature, there are camel knights in the Imperial Forest Theater and the Ice Harbor Theater, for the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force, it must rely on high-speed mobility to be able to maximize the combat effectiveness of less than 5,000 people in front of them.

At night, the wind blew again in the desert, and a large amount of sand and gravel smashed on the bodies and faces of the soldiers, and the soldiers felt suffocated again. In this gale, the sand desperately burrows into the human body, in the mouth, in the ears, in the nose, in the eyes...... As long as there is a little gap, the sand goes in like water through the cracks. There was no way to breathe, and even if you covered your nose with a handkerchief, the sand entered your nostrils through the mesh of the towel...... The most bitter are the elves, when have these noble beings living in the fairy forest ever encountered such a thing? Continuous lack of water and food, the vultures have long been unable to fly, let alone lead people, it would be good to be able to walk. The elves crawled through the desert with their mounts.

In the second half of the night, the wind finally subsided, looking at the stars in the sky that were already westerly, Su Wen smiled bitterly and told Chi Aotian that the distance traveled by the legion would not exceed 10 kilometers throughout the night today.

"Oh, or not...... I'll take the Phantom Beast Knight to replenish some water tomorrow?" Chi Aotian's brows furrowed.

"No, I can't. Su Wen immediately dismissed the suggestion: "We are too deep into the desert now. This place is far more terrifying than we imagined, usually two or three hundred kilometers, for the dragon knight is a matter of two hours, the phantom beast knight will definitely arrive in half a day, but, you see, there is no marker here, I am afraid of flying out, and I can't find it back at all. There are no elves among the Phantom Beast Knights, and even if there are elves, they can see that they are 5 miles and 10 miles, which is too short a distance in the desert. By the end, the old soldier's face was full of wry smiles.

Chi Aotian was silent, when he first entered the desert, one night, because the clouds in the sky covered the stars, the expeditionary force walked for most of the night, and actually walked a circle with a diameter of 10 kilometers in the desert. In the desert, especially during the day, the scorching sun will clear all human intuition in all directions, plus there is no sense of time, and the direction can be corrected only in the morning and evening after the sun rises and before the sun sets.

"The rest of the horse's blood can last for a few more days, if ...... We can't find a water source yet, so we can only kill the dragon and the vulture, if we can't do it......" The old soldier didn't continue, the meaning was already quite obvious.

"Who!?Stop!, or there will be no mercy!" the conversation was interrupted by a naked threat from a soldier in the distance.

Someone? Chi Aotian and Su Wen were both shocked, this place has gone deep into the hinterland of the desert, how can they meet people?

Just as he was guessing, a series of snapping sounds suddenly came from the air ahead, and the sound disappeared as soon as it sounded, and in the night sky, this small sound was transmitted very far because of the strong sense of rhythm......

"Ahh

In the silence of the night, the nerves of all the soldiers were about to explode at this moment! This scream was undoubtedly that of the soldiers of the expeditionary force. The sound of the fight came immediately.

Chi Aotian and Su Wen pulled each other and climbed the sand dunes and rushed forward, and in a short distance of less than 200 meters, when the two people and more than 30 guards ran to the front of the team panting, the battle was already over.

The scene in front of them made Chi Aotian and Su Wen take a breath of cold air at the same time, and there were at least 30 people lying on the sand...... No, to be specific, there were about 30 limbs lying down, most of the corpses were incomplete, arms, thighs, torsos, pieces of armor...... The yellow sand in a radius of forty or fifty meters was soaked with blood, and it was as black as ink under the moonlight!

"What's going on?" Chi Aotian looked at the dozens of frightened soldiers standing in front of him, most of them were warriors of the Black Dragon Knights.

"General...... "The young man with the hairpin of the squad leader swallowed a mouthful of spit: "Two monsters attacked us just now...... They suddenly burst out of the sand in the distance, and then flew into the sky...... It swooped down like lightning, and the brothers were torn to pieces by the two monsters before they could take precautions! Some of the brothers were only scratched by their claws, and they died after a few minutes. Thanks...... Thanks to the forest elf brothers, they helped us kill them. ”

The combat power of the Black Dragon Knights is quite amazing, even if they are in the desert, even if they are not used to fighting on the sand dunes, but what kind of monster can tear apart dozens of warriors in an instant with only physical attacks?! Ordinary earth-walking dragons definitely do not have such abilities, even if they are giant dragons, they will not have such a shocking performance on the ground.

Chi Aotian shook his head slightly, and sure enough, he saw Qingluo standing a few steps away with a few male and female elves, Chi Aotian nodded at them and then asked, "What monster?

"Under the dunes. The team leader pulled everyone's eyes with his fingers.

Under the swarthy hills, there were indeed two animals lying there, looking at the size, each of them was about the size of an ordinary dragon, but if you looked closely, you couldn't see it.

What is this? In the hinterland of the desert, how could such a huge monster be? In Chi Aotian's mind, the beast in the hinterland of the desert was the largest baboon, and it was about the same size as an adult human, and it would never be so big.

"Why don't we go down and have a look?" asked Su Wen in a low voice.

"Let's wait. Behind the two people, Qingluo interjected: "The sky is about to dawn." ”

Sure enough, the eastern sky was already clouded and white, and the figures of the expeditionary soldiers everywhere could already be clearly seen, at this time, it was only about ten minutes before the sun rose.

The ruddy sun finally showed a smile in the eastern sky, and the whole sky turned white in an instant!

"Let's go down and have a look. Qingluo had already come to Chi Aotian's side, and after speaking, he took the lead in sliding down the sand slope.

Chi Aotian and Su Wen followed one after the other, and at this time, the two of them realized that the face of the Forest Elf Martial Elder who came down first became extremely difficult to see...... More precisely, there is an expression mixed with fear. In the relationship between Chi Aotian and Qingluo for more than half a year, he has never seen when an elf elder with an aristocratic temperament will be like this, even in the face of the two top warriors of Han Han and the Iron Hand Grand Duke, the peerless elf brave man did not show any fear.

"Elder Qingluo, what's wrong?" Chi Aotian consciously wrenched Qingluo's shoulder with his hand.

"Deputy Head Chi, do you know this terrible monster?" Qingluo said, turning the head of the fallen monster over.

Chi Aotian was slightly stunned, when did Qingluo actually learn the skills of human beings......? Qingluo and Amy haven't been together for a few days, how can it be...... Oh...... Remember, there's also a Tayan in the expeditionary force, and that's someone who has the same skill tree as Amy.

After settling down and taking a closer look, Chi Aotian immediately subconsciously bit his lip, what is this? A very strange kind of scales, not the scales of the earth-walking dragon and the giant dragon, each scale bulges on the skin like a pimple, and covers the skin tightly downward, and between the scales is a dense mane, which has the advantage that no matter how the skin moves, the skin will not be exposed; the mouth of the monster is very tight, and the teeth are bigger than the earth-walking dragons, especially the four canine teeth, and what is even more surprising is that except for the canine teeth, all the other teeth fall down to the throat, no matter what animal, once bitten by such teeth, there is no chance to break free。

Well, Chi Aotian noticed a problem: why does this monster have no eyes? It doesn't seem to have ears yet. Thinking about it, Chi Aotian whispered. Qingluo smiled bitterly, his fingers slashed the monster's head, and the skin was peeled off layer by layer, and under the fourth layer of skin, he finally saw blood-colored eyes - these eyes were still hidden under a layer of translucent eyelids.

Seeing such eyes, Chi Aotian almost jumped up! He had seen such eyes, he had definitely seen them, but he was just ...... Where? Where have you seen such unforgettable eyes? The boy quickly flipped through the database in his mind and remembered! Phantom Beast!

In the Phantom Beast Trial, Chi Aotian had indeed seen such eyes before. This is a desert lizard, but only four young lizards were seen during the trial, and although they are very alert, they are far less terrifying. Soon, Chi Aotian recalled all the information related to the desert flying lizard: in the known information, this lizard seems to be related to the earth-walking dragon, and in the ancient legends of the desert people, this lizard also has a very close blood relationship with the dragon.

In the known world, if in terms of destructive power, there are three kinds of wurms ranked after the dragon: the earth-walking dragon, the desert lizard, and the bay crocodile, these three monsters are said to be the descendants of the dragon. In the face of these three monsters, without the help of the magician, ordinary human warriors would not have any chance at all.

Among these three dragon beasts, if you only rank in terms of killing speed, the desert flying lizard ranks first with an absolute advantage: it is born with double eye membranes, nasal membranes, and eardrums, not only sealing dry air and fine sand particles outside the body, but ordinary weapons cannot cause any damage at all even if they are directly chopped; This poison does not come from the body, the main food of the lizard is the highly venomous desert rattlesnake, when fighting the rattlesnake, of course, it will inevitably be repeatedly visited by the snake venom, while resisting the rattlesnake venom, the lizard actually excretes the toxin through the spit through the wonderful skin movement, and also likes to lick its paws from time to time, so this delicious venom at all times is enough to provide an insomniac elephant with sleeping pills that instantly fall into a permanent sleep.

I met such a guy, and my luck was extremely bad...... The only thing to be thankful for is that this giant lizard belongs to the superlord in the desert, and a desert lizard couple controls a radius of dozens of miles, although it has paid a tragic price of dozens of people, the good luck in the misfortune is that there is no need to worry about encountering more attacks.

What Chi Aotian and the others could not have imagined was that at this moment, a series of exclamations from the soldiers suddenly came from the sand dunes.

Even, some young soldiers shouted: "Look...... Look in that direction...... That...... Monster...... Again! Oh my God...... There are hundreds!"

The three people at the bottom of the sand dunes seemed to have a most fragile nerve in their spinal cords as if they were being made by the ice elves, and the cold breath instantly froze their bodies.
