Chapter 10: Dune Snakes
The wind, whining, a golden whirlwind, mercilessly rolled up the sand on the ground, slapping all the obstacles that leaked on the ground, looking up at the endless sand dunes, the sky was bright and scorching, and even the breath became scorching.
Looking at the yellow sand in front of her, Kate asked with some palpitations, "Do you really want to take this road?" The answer to him was Caller's firm pace and the white eyes of a group of orcs, seeing that no one responded to her, Kate only shook her head helplessly and followed the team closely.
This was the third day of the attack, and in the face of possible traps, Calle chose to change his route, and the first thing he faced was the desert in front of him.
The Dyth Desert is the largest desert in the Ron Empire, the second largest desert in the continent, famous for sandstorms and golden oases, for adventurers, the Dess Desert is a place that people love and hate, the ruthless sandstorm destroys and decays, few people can be spared, if you encounter a super sandstorm, even a house made of stone will be destroyed in an instant, and the tragedy of burying bones in yellow sand happens from time to time.
Despite this, there are still many adventurers who resolutely enter the Days Desert every year, even the sandstorm can not stop their steps, what attracts them is the oases distributed in different areas of the Days Desert, they all hope to find the golden oasis in the various oasesThe golden oasis is the location of the legendary treasure of amazing wealth, where everything is made of gold, the golden palace, the golden steps, and even the ground is paved with a whole piece of gold bricks, this amazing wealth is the reason why many people enter the desert, as long as you get the golden oasis, then you can get the wealth of the rich country。
No one doubts the authenticity of the Golden Oasis, a hundred years ago. There was once a caravan that encountered a mirage on the edge of the Daith Desert, and then this caravan encountered a super sandstorm, and only one person in the entire caravan walked out of the Daith Desert alive, and after walking out, this person announced the news to the world, and the golden oasis existed somewhere in the Daith Desert.
In the past hundred years, several more groups of people have seen the mirage of the Golden Oasis, more and more people have entered the Dyth Desert, and the vast majority of people have never come out again, but many people still enter every year, hoping to get the legendary treasure.
The route chosen by Calle was to zigzag along the edge of the Dyth Desert, in order to speed up, Kate disposed of all the goods she was transporting, shortening the time from the original seven days to three days, these three days were very peaceful, but all the people's faces were not very good-looking, everyone knew that Calle's enemies had been lurking in the shadows, planning, just waiting for themselves to show their flaws again, and then launch a fatal blow.
The continuous sand dunes in front of you can not be seen at a glance, if there is no one who is familiar with the map in front of the guide, I am afraid that after a few dunes, people will lose their way, and now in front of everyone is a sand dune up to 100 meters high, if you want to reach the first oasis, there are many such dunes, and the time required to climb such a sand dune is generally very long, I am afraid that after two more roads, it will be dark.
Looking at the boots that were deep in the sand, Lin frowned, and suddenly the dagger in his hand shot out, deeply inserted in the sand not far away, until the end handle, Eleven and Twelve behind him looked at the dagger with a surprised face, Eleven was just about to step forward to pick it up, but was pulled by Twelve.
Just like that, the handle of the dagger began to squirm slowly, the yellow sand stirred, a fist-sized triangular snake head emerged from the sand, a little scarlet along the snake letter that was constantly swallowing, dripping on the yellow sand, and the twisted snake body gradually leaked in front of everyone.
When the snake crawled out completely, everyone couldn't help but gasp, the snake's head is very small, but the body is ridiculously long, the twisted body is nearly four or five meters long if straightened, which is rarely seen in other places, Lin's dagger is just inserted in the back of the snake's neck, the back of the snake's neck is thin, and this time it actually passed through a pair.
The sharp fangs sprayed venom outwards as the snake's head swayed, but the dagger's position was too special for it to shake off no matter how hard it struggled, and the whole team watched as the long snake writhed in pain.
Lin's face changed suddenly, he reached out and grabbed the dagger of Servant Twelve and threw it again, this time the dagger was inserted directly from the snake's mouth and came out of the back of the head, Lin shot this time, and the people around couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, the snake's head was only the size of a fist, even if it was opened, it was not much, especially when the distance was more than ten meters, it was very difficult to hit a stationary object, not to mention the snake head that was still writhing wildly.
Strength, speed, precision, Lin's seemingly casual shots made others embarrassed.
"Run!" Lin suddenly shouted, turned around and ran towards the bottom of the sand dunes, everyone heard Lin's words and reacted differently, the three servants immediately followed Lin down the hill after hearing the voice, and the orcs were stunned and then ran with this, only Kate and Caleb hesitated for some reason and did not move.
Watching the orcs follow Lin down the dunes, Kate actually asked Caleb what was wrong, but what she saw was Caller's frightened face, and then there was a pull in her hand, Kate's body involuntarily leaned forward along this force, and by the time Kate reacted, he had been pulled by Caleb to the bottom of the dune.
Before Kate could ask what was going on, she saw the sand dunes in front of her move.
The sand around the strange snake that Lin killed squirmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and began to slide down slowly, one after another fist-sized snake heads emerged from the sand, the body squirmed, and the sand on the snake's body was squeezed to both sides, slowly sliding down the steep slope of the dune, for a while, there were hundreds of strange snakes in the middle of the dune, and the sound of the snake hyacinth even overshadowed the wind.
Seeing these snakes that were about to be in a hurry, under the scorching sun, everyone broke out in a cold sweat, if it wasn't for Lin first to discover the abnormality, I'm afraid that at least some of them would have stayed on the slope of the sand dunes now, and in shock, everyone turned their eyes to Lin.
It was he who made the shot, and it was also him who found the danger, this strange snake was not in the previous records, and the snake was not a social animal, so many snakes gathered here, it was too abnormal, Lin's two shots seemed to prove one thing, that he could understand the language of snakes.
Everyone thinks that this idea is absurd, it is not that there is no animal trainer on the mainland, but those animal trainers can only be familiar with the language of the animals to be domesticated through years of accumulated experience, and Lin's age is definitely not enough, so the shock is expected.
"Do you know snake language?" Kahler asked Lin in an uncertain tone as he looked at the rare scene in front of him with some palpitations.
Hearing Caller's words, everyone once again focused on Lin, hoping that Lin could give an answer, and they were more concerned about whether Lin really knew snake language than why this was the case here.
However, what is disappointing is that Lin shook his head very dryly, looking at the scene of a thousand snakes in front of him, Lin said: "I just think that the sound it makes is different, at first, I didn't feel anything abnormal, in addition, the scales of this snake are very hard, except for the back of the neck, which is a relatively weak place, it is difficult to cause fatal injuries in other places." ”
"You know about this snake?" Calle asked, as if with another question in mind.
Lin shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, and Calle was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked, "Then how do you know its weakness?"
"Isn't your neck also a weakness?" Lin said with some disdain after taking off Caller's eyes, Calle listened to it, and immediately stopped talking, thinking about it, no matter what kind of creature it is, the back of the neck is a weakness, this is almost common sense, thinking of this, Caller couldn't help blushing slightly, but he was not the only one who blushed, and the rest of the orcs were also embarrassed.
The snakes have been at the height of one-third of the sand dunes, neither rising nor falling, just hissing in place, spitting cores, slowly writhing on the yellow sand, bursts of fishy smell blowing in the wind, everyone is dizzy, as if they have been poisoned to cover their mouths and noses, this invisible attack is not fatal, but it is very disgusting.
"These snakes are controlled by man, and I can't find anyone who can control them, but judging by his ability, it seems that this is no more than that. Lin thought about the werewolf captain and shouted in a low voice, the werewolf captain was stunned for a moment, and then secretly rejoiced in his heart, as long as the divine envoy spoke, let alone find the main messenger behind the scenes, even if he ordered to rush forward now, the werewolf captain would think about it.
It's just that this sea of sand is vast, and it's too difficult to find someone, if the other party is on the back of the dune, it's definitely impossible to catch this person, it's best to determine a direction first, and then search quickly, so that the reaction time left for the other party will be shortened, and the possibility of capturing the other party will be greatly increased.
"How do you know that these snakes are controlled by people?" Sure enough, it was still Calle who asked, for this kind of strange scene in front of him, he agreed with Lin's words, snakes are cold-blooded animals, and living in groups is already very strange, and now they are all gathered together, but they do not attack, it seems that only Lin's statement is the most appropriate, these snakes are controlled by people here.
It's just that this person didn't manipulate to attack himself, and until now not a single snake rushed down the dunes, which is very abnormal.
Lin didn't answer Calle's words, but his face changed and he suddenly jumped onto Eleven, and looked towards the back of the group with his hands on the pergola, and soon he jumped down, and then began to identify the direction.
What the hell is going on? Lin will also show this kind of frightened expression, which makes everyone a little confused, curious and full of fear at the same time, everyone wants to know what Lin found in the distance.
"It's a desert ant, it's wandering towards our location right now, we ......"
At this time, Lin suddenly raised his head, the fear on his face disappeared, but became a little dignified, looking at everyone looking at him, Lin shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's the ant tide, we'd better stay away."
But with a swarm of snakes in front and ants in the back, where should such a large team flee?
