Chapter 177: Desert Ghost
Everyone walked all the way, at first they were cautious, ready to retreat at any time, but as time passed, they did not encounter the so-called quicksand, or even any danger, and gradually, everyone relaxed their vigilance.
Many people think that the old man deceived everyone, and the previous thing was obviously to delay time, take revenge on everyone, and don't want everyone to find the treasure, so the attitude towards him is getting worse and worse.
But at this time, the master had no intention of entangling with these people at all, his nerves were tense all the time, and he was especially afraid of accidents.
Xiao Long also gradually relaxed his vigilance here, he also knew the so-called quicksand land, it was a very terrible thing, but as long as he stepped into this kind of place, he would fall into it, and it was impossible for everyone to go so deep, so he also felt that the master was too worried this time.
But not everyone thinks so, and there are a few delicate-minded characters who are wary of everything.
Even if it's not a place of quicksand, there are other unexpected dangers, so it's important to be vigilant.
In this way, the group went deep into the unknown territory, and the team gradually lengthened, but this sparse and long team was as pitiful as ants compared to the entire desert.
There seems to be little danger along the way, but occasionally there are some special circumstances, and small sandstorms often pass by, which scares everyone.
In this way, after walking for five days, everyone finally saw a little black at the edge of the horizon in the distance, which was different from the color of the desert and more like a group of buildings.
Gradually, when everyone got closer, they finally had a good eye to see what was in the sky.
It was really a piece of waste in the city, and it was probably the legendary ancient city of Loulan, so they were excited one by one, because everyone's purpose this time was to find the treasure of Loulan, and after so many setbacks and sacrifices, if they couldn't get something, then they really came.
So with longing, everyone quickened up and swept towards the ruins of the city over there.
But not many people noticed the faint changes under their feet, not even the old master, and the few figures walking behind the line disappeared!
By the time everyone realized that something was wrong, and someone noticed that the few who had disappeared were gone, the entire team had already lost six people!
They disappeared without warning, and no one noticed that something was wrong, and no one knew where they had gone.
This situation attracted everyone's attention, and everyone settled down and gradually learned what was happening!
These disappeared people must have fallen into quicksand, and there was no trace of them!
But all this did not end, just when everyone was panicking, something unexpected finally happened.
Something strange happened in the camp where everyone was stationed, and suddenly there was a storm, and it was only discovered when everyone avoided the storm and waited for everything to calm down.
Some people disappeared, some supplies disappeared, some tents and the like disappeared along with the people inside, and just when everyone was scrambling, someone suddenly noticed that the sand was moving under their feet.
By the time everyone noticed all this, it was too late, and many guys who were not strong enough were devoured in!
Xiao Long's team here also suffered losses, and the original team of ten people lost three people who were guarding the periphery, and even Xiao Long's few people here fell into quicksand.
Everyone kept struggling, but found that they were sinking deeper and deeper, Xiao Long reacted quickly here, he did not struggle indiscriminately, but directly burst out with all his strength, using all his strength on his feet and arms, and then jumped out of the coercion of quicksand in one fell swoop!
But not all of them had such good luck as him, nor did they have such a smart intellect, great strength, and ability to adapt at any time, so they disappeared into the quicksand and never appeared again.
When it was all over, everyone gathered together, and each other's faces were not very good-looking.
This time the loss was too great, and some of the weaker companions in the team all disappeared, even some powerful guys also disappeared because of bad luck.
Some people just disappeared under everyone's noses, but others had no way to rescue them, so they could only watch them all disappear into the quicksand.
The whole team fell into silence, it was really too great a loss this time, everyone was recovering, and when the team was almost adjusted, someone finally couldn't help but speak.
"Why don't we save them? as long as the master-level masters unite and follow the place where those people disappeared, they will definitely be able to dig them out again, they must still be alive, waiting for us to rescue them!"
"yes, why don't we act?"
"Clan Elder, are we going to watch Xiao Li and them disappear?"
However, everyone looked at them with pity in their eyes, as if they cared for the mentally handicapped.
Everyone's faces were very ugly, but no one explained, and finally the master spoke.
"It's not that they don't save people, because what we encounter is quicksand, we can't save them at all, we just passed under the feet of the quicksand river, hidden under the desert, it is constantly flowing, it is alive, it will not stay in one place, but it will continue to flow. Those disappeared friends, you looked at him in that place a second ago, but when you dug down from it, they didn't know where they were taken by the quicksand river!"
The faces of those young and naΓ―ve geniuses became even more ugly, and they even turned red!
That's why fear and humiliation work at the same time.
"I've told you before that it's dangerous here, and you need to take a detour, but you just won't listen, and now it's okay, we've been topped by the god of quicksand, and we can't escape if we want to!"
"What do you mean?!"
For the master's words, everyone's hearts beat wildly, and some people couldn't help but ask in shock.
"I mean we're being targeted, we're being targeted by the desert god here, and it's going to kill us all before it stops, we're finished, and we can't get out of the quicksand!"
The old master suddenly shouted with a crying voice, his raised eyes were extremely red, and he was extremely frightened.
The hearts of the people who were already a little anxious were even more timid, in the face of this inexplicable danger, everyone was pale, although this was nothing to those big masters, but they had already agreed that everything would depend on the strength of the juniors themselves, because this was also an experience, but they did not expect such a serious loss.
Just now they have felt everything underground, the so-called quicksand river is simply an insect plague formed by the convergence of countless desert demon insects, it is precisely because they feel the special aura of everyone, they don't know where it came from, but the purpose is indeed to kill everyone.
These old guys know these demon worms, and they know that one of them is indeed nothing, but countless of them are gathered together, and even master-level masters will be eaten clean!
As long as they catch the opportunity, then everything is over.
But in the face of this insect plague, not everyone knows about it, and the masters above these masters have already agreed and have not reminded anything, so let the teenagers solve the problem by themselves.
The young geniuses didn't know what kind of danger they were facing, and although they were afraid, they didn't despair, so after discussing it for a long time, they continued to move forward.
Zhou Hong came to Xiao Long's side and asked in a low voice.
"Long Shao, do we really have to go with them? β
"What do you think?"
In fact, Xiao Long is also the master of the six gods here, everything just now is still fresh in his memory, and the feeling of danger makes him a little frightened, coupled with the tearing feeling under his feet that he felt when he was devoured before, if he wasn't smart enough to transfer the Yuan Force in time to protect his feet, it is estimated that there will really be a problem.
At that time, he felt something tearing at his feet, and he didn't say this kind of thing, because he didn't know if he had sensed it wrong, and it was still possible that there would be an error in that kind of panic.
"I think we should be separated from them so that we have a better chance of living. β
"You're scared, aren't you?"
Zhou Hong smiled embarrassedly, he was really frightened by everything before, to be honest, a guy who has been around since he was a child is not so fragile, but in the face of the previous two Tianwei, there was a trace of fear in his heart, and now without the restraint of the master, he still doesn't care about a little master's nephew.
"You'd better be honest, my uncle said it, if you don't obey here, he knows it all. β
"Master, he's coming?!"
Zhou Hong was startled, hurriedly looked around, and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Do you think that my uncle will let go of such an important treasure? The reason why I can't say it is because I just paralyzed those big forces, and I really found the treasure, hehe......"
Xiao Long is very clear about the master's plan, and the two are originally one, and when the time comes, he will really see the treasure, and it will be time for the "master" to appear!
Zhou Hong didn't dare to have any other thoughts here, and continued to move forward with the team.
However, the road has not been so peaceful, everyone has been attacked more than a dozen times, and gradually everyone understands what the so-called desert god is.
Once a genius of the Zhang family was devoured underground and was rescued in time, but everyone was horrified to find that his legs had disappeared, that is, there was not even a bone residue left, as if something had been cut off from his thighs!
Everyone even saw the culprit, because something was squeezed out of the man's flesh and blood to escape into the ground, and was caught by the master, and only then did someone recognize what it was!
Desert Demon Worms, one of the most terrifying creatures in the desert, are not because of their strength, but because of their unity and teamwork, often thousands of them acting together, even master-level masters can't stop them from the impact of life and death.
Hence their famous name: Desert Ghosts!
Because there was no trace of them, everyone didn't expect that it was these desert ghosts that devoured everyone!
Instead of knowing that the enemy was gone, fear spread!
