Chapter 88: The Tail of the Behemoth

Before the body and mind wake up, the soul of the astrologer's apprentice suddenly discovers the fact that he is constantly falling into a coma, missing one key ** thing after another, and dividing his life into incoherent color pictures with his vanishing memories.

The salty wind of the desert poured into his mouth, Jonah coughed and woke up, and as soon as he moved his hands and feet, he was blown and rolled by the strong wind blowing in his face, "Ahhhh......h

"Hell...... What kind of place is this?"

Jonah's eyes widened, and the grains of sand immediately burrowed into his eyelids, stabbing his eyes.

The golden Matraktili hung diagonally in the sky, and the sun should have looked like it was four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and of course he was still in the endless sea of sand, and the sun illuminated the endless stretches of sand dunes, and there was no other color than the blue sky and yellow sand that disturbed the simple color scheme of the desert, and there were no insects, no sailboats, no natives of Tantuha, it was a barren sea of sand, and the only life that existed was Jonah himself, who looked confused, and the unknown object that was moving at high speed beneath him.

Judging by the oncoming winds, he was galloping through the desert at a frantic speed of forty or fifty knots, and Jonah looked around in fear. It was a strange and jagged place, and the ground beneath his feet was covered with high and low bumps and pits, and many pillars with sharp tops and thick bottoms rose from the ground at various angles to the sky, and behind him was a conical pillar, more of a thorn than a pillar. The material of the ground and the giant spines is dark brown, hard and elastic, not stone or metal, and the rough, scaly surface seems to have some kind of temperature when touched by hand.

"Ghost...... Ghost Bahamas!" Jonah retracted his finger like an electric shock. The senses of speed, sight and touch all reminded him that he was in danger. Where the extreme danger lies.

The most terrifying legend of the endless sand sea, the black object that swims in the desert like a ghost, has the most majestic volume, the fastest speed, the most powerful attack power and the most ferocious personality in the entire desert area, no one can see the true face of the ghost Bahamas, the sandworm, the man-made object, or the monster? Countless mystical speculations have been passed down by word of mouth among the inhabitants of the desert, ever since the ghost of the Bahamas suddenly appeared in the endless sea of sand a hundred years ago, whether it is the ancient song of the Tantuha people by the campfire or the bedtime story of the infant swaddling baby of the Tocharian merchants, this ghost that unscrupulously attacks anything in its path has become synonymous with death and destruction, forever imprinting the shadow of terror in the subconscious of every new life in the endless sea of sand.

The Ghost Bahamas gets its name from its ghostly image and the name of the desert town that was completely destroyed when it first appeared. It does not follow the sandworm's figure-of-eight route, and over the years people have observed the movement of the ghost Bahamas with deep awe, and found that it seems to be drawing an extremely complex ancient pattern on the stage of the entire endless sea of sand, and every line left by the ghost in the desert for nearly a hundred years is part of this intricate pattern. No one knows what it wants to draw, and no one can predict the movement of the ghost Bahamas, only to watch it tear the sand dunes, insects, buildings, and human bodies to pieces again and again, and even the great sand falls have not slowed it down by half a minute. What would happen if the ghost Bahamas met the postworm? This question is the deepest fear in the soul of the Tantuha people, but fortunately time flies and the ghost's path never coincides with the postworm node.

In his posthumous work "Memoirs of Rossena", the naturalist Raquel Rosanna, who has been tormented by the legendary "herbivorous phobia", recorded the parade of the ghost Bahamas, and each node of the trajectory represents a tragic accident. Historical records and ruins to find the exact location of these accidents and create this shocking map of the trajectory, although many parts of the pattern are blank due to lack of information, but in any case it is the most detailed and thorough study of the ghost of the Bahamas. Before it was known what the figure was, the naturalist Rothana had been dying of chronic malnutrition, and his research had not found a successor, because the Age of Sails had arrived, the Endless Sea of Sand had entered the glorious Age of the Sand Pirates, and the scientists from Tocharian had been sacked by the Zawi bandits, and had lost their magnifying glasses, binoculars, canes, sundials, underpants, and the courage to continue their exploration.

The above information is from the "Geographical Measurement of the Southern Continent". After half an hour of hysteria and half an hour of futile cries for help, Jonah resigned himself to taking out the large book in his deerskin bag and finding the chapter on the ghost Bahamas to read.

After reading a passage in the "Ghost Bahamian ......", the astrologer apprentice closed the book in despair and looked up at the sky: "Why did you take me away and trap me in this hellish place?...... Betrayer Seglas, is this fateful arrangement, right? Why did you separate me from my companion every time? Could it be that the prophesied me was destined to go alone? Tell me, why?"

As soon as the sound came out, the wind blew away, and the ghostly Bahamas, which was galloping at fifty knots, turned the air into a hard wall, and even as Jonah moved behind the giant thorn to hide from the wind, he still swayed like tumbleweeds floating here and there.

The sun has set in the west, and there are no clouds in the sky, and there is no sunset. The sky and the earth were still full of red sunshine just now, and in the next moment, Matlaktili fell into the distant horizon, and the night was enveloped in an endless sea of sand. Jonah tied himself to the giant thorn with his belt and curled up as much as he could, the cold, hunger and thirst gnawed at his soul like a monster, the rumbling wind made him unable to think, and in this moment, he really felt fear, the fear of loneliness, the fear of the future, the fear of death.

"What if...... If I were the chosen one, I would never die here alone, in the body of the ghost Bahamas......" The astrologer apprentice gritted his teeth, gripped Siracuna, and lit the illuminated star array at the tip of his staff. The glow of fireflies shines on the back of the ghost Bahamas, and if there are witnesses watching them, they will be able to see the giants galloping in the night leaving a bright red streamer in the dark sea of sand.

The light gave Jonah a brief reassurance, and he tried his best to get the horrific thoughts out of his mind, and with a sigh of warm, cold hands, he looked at the back of the ghost Bahamas by the light of the illuminated star array. There is no doubt that the ghost Bahamas is not a man-made object, but some kind of living creature, and the monster's back skin is covered with ugly holes and giant thorns, and it looks like a battlefield that has been through a fierce battle.

With no head and tail to see from Jonah's vantage point, and no way to guess what it looked like, the astrologer's apprentice finally made up his mind to explore, sitting still was the worst idea, walking on the back of the terrifying beast was the second worst idea, but at least, there was a glimmer of life.

Jonah unbuckled his belt and tightened his robe, buttoned the hood around his head, and used his staff to support his body out of hiding, slowly walking towards the leeward direction. The wind blew from behind him and immediately staggered him around, and Jonah staggered forward as best he could, secretly glad that the attack of the ghost Bahamas had not brought him new wounds, and that he had just examined his whole body, except for some abrasions and bruises on the back of the worm's back, there was no new wound. How did this monster throw itself on his back unscathed?

Twenty or thirty yards away, the terrain dropped significantly, and when he jumped down a slope, the wind immediately became much lighter, and Jonah sat down on the ground gasping for breath. His judgment was correct, if the position he was in just now was the center of the back of the behemoth, then going in the leeward direction, that is, towards the tail of the monster, there should be a descending arc, which is a standard characteristic of vertebrates. In other words, this huge beast with a body surface is not a cold-blooded sandeater, but a warm-blooded higher vertebrate. What kind of vertebrate can grow to this size? The largest vertebrate mentioned in the Geographical Estimation of the Western Continent is a close relative of the Geosaurus, a half-dragon creature called the Ebenezer mountain monitor lizard, the largest of which can weigh up to 30,000 pounds and can eat an acre of cabbage in a single meal. The behemoth in front of Jonah is two laps larger than the Racing Star catamaran, which is carried by the giant sandeater Layton sisters, and at the same time, it is impossible to maintain an unbelievably high forward speed!

Jonah rummaged through the deerskin bag and found some dregs of dry wheat cakes, which he greedily poured into his mouth, chewed slowly, and reluctantly swallowed the precious food. After a few minutes of rest, he decided to move on. Night had fallen, and the desert temperature had cooled down rapidly at night, and if he didn't find a safe haven, his stamina would quickly drain until he lost the last bit of precious heat and turned into a cold corpse.

The Astrologer's Apprentice has increased the output of the Illuminated Star Array. Light and heat are two manifestations of the same energy, and it is not difficult to get the illuminated array to release the right amount of heat. Although the warmth of his body could not stop the flow of physical strength, at least it gave Jonah the motivation to move forward, and he gritted his teeth and continued to move forward-
