In the second half of the night, the desert became absolutely freezing. It felt like walking on ice and snow. The wind blew against my frozen face, which was so painful that it almost cracked.
Everyone started moving forward before dawn. As soon as the sun started to shine down, the warmth would make people feel particularly comfortable. However, within an hour, the body would start to feel disgusted by the increasing heat.
The desert is like this, it doesn't give people any pleasure at all, which is why hunters always stay away from this place.
"Going in this direction, you can see the Shaqu River. If we walk along the Shaqu River until we reach the downstream area, we will be able to get close to the former inn." Lu Fang opened the map and said.
It is said to be a river, but in fact it is just a deep ravine there. There is not a drop of water in it, and the sticky sand makes it very difficult for people to lift their feet.
This sand curve and river are an important symbol. It took them a long time to find this river, otherwise they might have gone in the wrong direction.
Then just walk along the river. There is no need to plan the road route, but the river is not as calm as it looks.
"Everyone found that the sand here is not as soft and sticky. If you walk slower, you will feel that your body will sink a little... This is just the beginning. When you get further downstream, the sand is comparable to a swamp. There is no heaviness at all, so we must maintain a certain speed to avoid falling into the mud." Mo Fan said.
Mo Fan has collected a lot of information, and he still understands the situation of Shaqu River.
"Can't the sand be hardened?" Wang Jiuming asked, looking unconsciously at the earth mages in the team.
The earth mages all shook their heads and said, "This silt is very difficult to control. Didn't you see that even our Earth Wave Technique can't be used here?"
"That's really troublesome."
"I was already trotting, but I still felt like my body was going to sink."
"Then run faster."
A group of more than a dozen people kept leaving deep footprints in the Shaqu River, but each of their feet was stained with sand. The more sand stained, the heavier the steps would become. If time passes It wouldn't have any impact in the short term, but they had been running in the mud and sand for nearly half a day...
"Pull me, pull me, I'm going to fall!!" Behind the team, the hunter in charge of logistics suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked back and found that most of his legs had fallen under the sand. It felt like he had stepped into a river mud pit...
"Fourth, what are you doing? Let me run faster. The sand here is as heavy as a few pieces of paper. Without speed to support us, we will all sink!" Ge Ming yelled.
"I...I...ah!!! Something grabbed my foot!!!" Suddenly, Li Sizhong screamed, like a drowning man screaming.
Li Sizhong's body sank in due to his slow speed. Similarly, if others stopped, they would also sink into this terrible river of mud. The mud here is obviously filled with an aggressive nature. They will wrap up all the fallen objects, and then drag the objects tightly to prevent them from breaking free. This adsorption force is no less than the bite force of a warrior-level creature. This is also the terrifying power of Shaquhe. place!
"Nothing caught you. You fell deeper. Wait for me and I'll pull you up!" Ge Ming maintained his speed and made a large circle, preparing to fall back to help Li Sizhong.
"I'll come." Mo Fan said to Ge Ming.
When Ge Ming kept his speed and returned, Li Sizhong probably had his head sunk under the sand.
"Mind Control - Void Claw!" Mo Fan thought, and the silver invisible power turned into a huge hand, grabbing Li Sizhong's upper body.
"rise!"
Mo Fan used his telekinesis to pull him out of the sand, but an extremely powerful resistance made Mo Fan mentally shaken. He actually dragged Li Sizhong out without even one breath, which made Mo Fan feel shocked. !
Li Sizhong's body was only half collapsed, but the sand adsorbing it was equivalent to the brute force of hundreds of evil ghosts. They held Li Sizhong tightly to prevent him from escaping. Mo Fan thought that his telekinesis was You could pull him out easily, but you didn't know it failed!
Mo Fan had to concentrate again and strengthen his thoughts.
"Ahhhhhh!!! It hurts, it hurts!!!" Suddenly, Li Sizhong screamed, and it could be seen from the expression on his face that he was not pretending.
"Monkey, find a way to get rid of those man-eating sands!" Mo Fan's expression changed and he hurriedly shouted to Zhang Xiaohou.
Zhang Xiaohou immediately realized the crisis. He first summoned a whirlwind to suspend himself in mid-air, and then used the Eye of the Rock Demon to forcefully compete with the terrifying sand.
After casting high-level earth magic, Zhang Xiaohou suddenly realized how terrifying the sand below was, and understood why Mo Fan called it man-eating sand. Every grain of sand seemed to be alive. Generally, they are concentrated in high density near the incoming objects, like hungry beasts scrambling and dragging them madly, with astonishing power.
When Mo Fan used his mind to drag Li Sizhong out, the man-eating sand was also pulling down crazily. Mo Fan did not dare to increase the power of his mind control, because it would probably pull Li Sizhong into pieces. Two sections, these man-eating sands are not as easy to deal with as they look!
Zhang Xiaohou used the Eye of the Rock Demon to forcefully expel the man-eating sand. Mo Fan did not dare to delay at all when he saw this, and fiercely pulled Li Sizhong out with his virtual claws.
“Cack!!”
The moment he was pulled out, everyone heard the sound of bones being torn apart, and Li Sizhong passed out from the pain...
"this……"
Everyone's heart palpitated when they saw it. No one thought that this ordinary silt could have such terrifying devouring power. If Mo Fan hadn't happened to be a mage of the space system, they really didn't know how they could have removed Li Sizhong from it. Pulled out of the sand.
"It's just a bit dislocated, nothing serious. The adsorption force of these man-eating sands exceeds five tons. The more they sink, the adsorption force will double. Everyone, please don't sink. Once the adsorption force exceeds ten tons, even if If I forcefully pull you out, your bodies will be broken into two pieces!" Mo Fan said to everyone solemnly.
Everyone had seen the scene just now and believed Mo Fan's words. Unknowingly, everyone speeded up, not daring to let their feet sink even a little bit.
…
"Why is it not over yet? I feel like my legs weigh a thousand kilograms." Zheng Tong shouted.
Even if you step lightly on the sand at a fast enough speed, the energy consumed is much greater than usual. If you keep running like this, you will definitely be exhausted. Everyone has been walking like this for a long time, and some people are starting to lose their physical strength.
"Me too, I can't walk anymore." Momonga, who was still injured, said.
"Isn't it over yet? Captain?"
Ge Ming had a sullen face. The map showed that this man-eating sand river was at least five hours away. If everyone couldn't hold on now, they would be in real trouble!
Although this meandering river is not particularly wide, you can step ashore one kilometer or two kilometers from both sides. The problem is that both sides of the Shaqu River are the territory of the Dust Demon Grasshopper. The Storm Dust Demon Grasshopper is a famine-type monster. When they appear, they will Calculated in tens of thousands, what they eat is not farmers or plants, but living animals!
The Dust Demon Grasshopper is extremely terrifying. Once targeted by the Dust Demon Grasshopper, an endless pursuit will begin. Even if there is one more super-level mage in the team, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of the team members, so this shore is no matter what. If you can't go there, it's like delivering lunch to the Dust Demon Grasshopper.
In fact, the construction of the military base in the Tarim Basin is mainly to prevent the Stormhopper Tribe. The aggressiveness, lethality, and destructiveness of this tribe are all S-level. In recent decades, many cities in the west have suffered from these violent attacks. The mopping up of the Dust Demon Grasshopper tribe is the real hell on earth. People, livestock, plants and buildings, as long as the wind of the Dust Demon Grasshopper blows by, nothing will be left!
The Stormhopper Tribe has a very large territory, and the only way to cross it is through the Shaqu River, but the horror of the Shaqu River is beyond everyone's imagination.
"If we go any further, we will all sink and we have to go ashore." Lu Fang said.
Not everyone is as strong as Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou. Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Nujiao are already a little exhausted.
Mo Fan was holding Lingling, and taking turns carrying Mu Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu behind him. Being as strong as an ox, he could still hold on, but that was a passive ability given to him by the demon system, and other old hunters couldn't bear it!
"How about we go ashore, I think if we continue walking, we really have to feed all the sand." Wang Jiuming said.
"But it's even scarier on the shore, and as soon as we get ashore, those extremely vigilant stormhoppers will spot us..."
"It won't work this way, that won't work either, why don't you just wait to die!" Someone was already shouting impatiently.
"The Dust Demon Grasshopper must not be provoked. Let's all take turns paving the way. Don't save magic energy at this time. Once we can get out of here, I will use my ice magic to pave the way first, and then use plant and wind magic. I'll speed it up for you..." Mu Nujiao said.
Everyone looked at Ge Ming.
When walking outside, using magic energy to travel is equivalent to losing half of one's life. Everyone knows that the destination will definitely involve a battle. How can they fight without magic energy?
"This is the only way. The ice element, earth element, and plant element are responsible for paving the way. The wind element speeds up. Go, go, don't slow down, go fast!" Ge Ming said.
Frost appeared on Mu Nujiao's body, and those small cold crystals flew forward. A white ice bridge spread out on the cannibal sand. Ge Ming was in front, taking the lead in stepping on the ice bridge at the fastest speed. Forward.
"Oh, let's go then!!"
The hunters sighed, but could only continue on their way.
