An hour later, the wind-eroded rock columns in front of them were gradually joining the hills, and Urruti stopped everyone. "Are you in the territory of the sandworm and the earth demon scorpion?" asked Moller, panting, taking Rex on the road for an hour, he was a little tired even with the support of the magic, and Ereba who had been trying to keep up with them behind him was even more tired after stopping.

Urruti looked at the layers of hills and said, "There are four or five miles to go, and the two groups of people in front of them should be waiting for the noon opportunity, but they don't know what the situation is, and they must investigate it first." ”

Moller thought to herself, no wonder Urruti was not anxious to learn that two groups of people were on the road first, it turned out that she had expected that those two groups had missed the opportunity of yesterday's noon, and could only spend the night in the moorland full of insects and snakes, waiting for the opportunity to be noon today. So he smiled and said, "I have a magic eye, just enough to probe the situation."

Urruti laughed, admiring that the enchanter really had a lot of means, and then he rolled his eyes and said: "The other party may also have a practitioner who can see the surroundings, we must be careful to conceal it, do you have any magic items that can hide your tracks?"

Moller then took out the Phantom Crystal - this operation was very important, and he couldn't hide it carefully, things like the Magic Eye and the Phantom Crystal would be exposed sooner or later, so it was better to take them out and use them as soon as possible.

Urruti was just trying to mention it, but he didn't expect that Moeller was really like a treasure boy, and he wanted anything, which was really a surprise. So she chose another terrain that was conducive to hiding, so that the effect of the Phantom Crystal would be more difficult to see.

After the group was hidden, Moller released his magic eye to patrol the air. Tong Guò Demon Eye He saw that there were indeed many demon borers in the sky, and he originally thought that the sky was gray due to the sand and dust, but he didn't expect that it was the result of countless demon moths flying in the air covering the sky and the sun!

Fortunately, the Demon Moth is only a carnivorous low-level Demon Worm, and is not interested in magic items such as the Demon Eye, so Moller just hides it in the Demon Moth swarm, and patrols around covertly.

Relying on the search of the Magic Eye, Moller soon appeared in the team composed of the enshrined mages of Count Weilan and the giant eagle mercenary group, a total of thirty-five people, resting on a huge leather felt, the condition of the personnel is not different from the report of Madame Preme, and the description of the Patriarch of Quinta, but the other group of people from the fire snake mercenary group has never been seen, I don't know if they also used hidden methods such as phantom magic crystals.

The temperature in the desert is rising rapidly, the air is dry and muggy, the temperature on the sand is enough to bake eggs, and the shadow of the human body is gradually moving to the feet, indicating that noon has come.

The thirty-five men in front of them had finished their rest and began to march towards the rocky hills, while the Moellers, who had rested for a while and had drunk the restorative potions, also regained their strength and began to move forward after them.

Urruti was right, after the first fifty miles, the danger was much greater, and Moller observed through the Magic Eye that the group ahead of them had gone through several battles after a short walk—and from time to time sandworms would emerge from the loose sand and attack the men in the ranks.

These sandworms resemble huge white earthworms, seven or eight meters long, with sharp mouthparts like guillotines on their heads, and can also spit out extremely sticky silk, once accidentally touched by silk, it is difficult to break free.

"The sandworm has rough skin and thick flesh, and the defense is good, but the attack is a little monotonous, as long as you are careful not to be stuck by the silk, the threat is not great. The really terrifying thing is the earth demon scorpion that can create quicksand traps, but fortunately, the earth demon scorpion is not as heat-resistant as the sandworm, and they hide in the depths of the ground at noon to enjoy the coolness, and generally do not come out to feed. ”

The effect of the three gold coins is still there, Urruti talked about the characteristics of the sandworm all the way, and the group has come to the place where the group of people camped just now, she waved her hand again to signal everyone to stop, and began to look around vigilantly.

"Why, is there a trap?" Moeller asked, seeing her say this, and probing with his mental power, but finding nothing.

Uruti nodded and said: "This is the habit of mercenary veterans, when doing tasks, leave some 'gifts' behind them, entertain people who may be following behind and plan to reap the benefits, it can also play a role in warning, let them know in advance that there is a tail coming behind." ”

Moeller looked around, only to feel that there was nothing abnormal, so he used his mental power to investigate carefully, and then there were some very hidden tactile devices, disguised almost integrated with the surrounding environment, and there were no special fluctuations, even if the use of mental power was not necessarily very visible. He couldn't help but sigh that the mercenary industry was really not that simple, no wonder Madame Plumme had to provoke this famous "fire lioness" in McCann City to participate in this operation - if it weren't for an experienced mercenary veteran like Urruti, he would only be afraid that he would be tricked if he was not careful!

A few people carefully detoured and climbed up from the rock pillars next to them, and tried not to take the path that the two groups of people had walked, so that although the chance of being attacked by the sandworms would increase, they did not have to worry about hitting the trap that they could not guard against.

"Whew!"

A sandworm sprang out from behind the rock pillar, its bucket-thick body lifted three or four meters high, and a tube in its open mouthparts spun out mucus in a circle, and the transparent mucus turned into silk threads when it met the air, swinging out in circles, like a lasso, falling towards the nearest Moeller's head and face.

"Boom!" the sixth-order magic sword in Moeller's hand swung out a burst of fire, and the falling silk threads burned as soon as they were stained with the flames, and turned into ashes before they could fall on Moeller's body.

Just as Moller was about to attack the sandworm even further, a red shadow pounced forward, and the javelin in his hand burst out with a sharp light, "poof!" and pierced the side of the sandworm's neck, nailing it to the stone pillar.

Moeller's eyes showed a look of amazement, Uruti's blow was fast and accurate, and the sandworm was hit by the key point without any chance to react, and the sandworm, which was originally extremely strong and easy to die without stiffness, was killed on the spot, and there was no chance to struggle!

Urruti shook off the blue blood on the javelin, and then quickly cut open the chest and abdomen of the sandworm with a dagger, and took out the glandular sac that stored the mucus and put it in the magic bag - as a low-level magical beast, the glandular sac in its body is the only thing that has value to sell, worth several silver coins, and Uruti who loves money will naturally not let it go.

After putting away the glands, Urruti looked at Moller and said, "We are not far away from the group of people in front of us now, try to avoid using attacks with too strong mana fluctuations!"

Moller was as good as a stream, and immediately put the sword in his hand back into the magic bag, and replaced it with several small crystal flying knives seven or eight inches long: "These frozen flying knives contain ice magic, which is just right to restrain sandworms. ”

The flying knife was purchased by Moeller after he arrived in McCann City, and the quality is only a third-order magic item, but because it is a one-time consumable, the attack power is good, and after hitting the target, it will turn into an ice magic force injected into the target's body, freezing the opponent, and the lethality is very high for the heat-resistant sandworm, and the magic power fluctuates very little.

But Urruti looked at a few small flying knives and suddenly felt distressed: "More than 20 gold coins for an attack, it's really extravagant!

Moller looked at Urruti speechlessly, but he was happy to spend some gold coins to hire a temporary thug at this time, because for him, there was still a tough battle to fight after arriving at the ruins, and it was still unknown whether he could convince this female mercenary who had been kept in the dark so far, so it was naturally best to retain some strength at this time.

Urruti was overjoyed, Moller's frozen knives were worth hundreds of gold coins, which was a lot of wealth even for a mercenary veteran like her. So Uruti was very active all the way, and every time she saw a sandworm appear, she was the first one to rush up and attack, and the ugly sandworm was equivalent to a lot of gold coins in her eyes!

There was no danger along the way, until in the afternoon, when Moller and his party passed through the hills with the two groups of people in front of them, and in front of them appeared many ruins and ruins half-hidden in the wind and sand, and the scale was extremely large, and the pedestals of the buildings were piled up with huge stones of more than a dozen cubic meters, and even the magic eye in the air could not see the edge--this was the remains of the city of Granlens.
