Lin Yan has a principle, that is, within the scope of his own strength, he will never leave any hidden dangers! This sandworm was not a good enemy in the first place. It had eaten so many people, so Lin Yan didn't feel any psychological burden in killing it.
But seeing that it couldn't escape, this thing started to dig into the sand. Lin Yan secretly said:
"No!" This is the sandworm's specialty. Once it enters the sand and moves forward, it will be impossible to catch!
Soon after, Lin Yan took out the rope from his small cloth pocket, then swung it hard, and the iron flying claws accurately caught the sandworm.
But before Lin Yan could be happy, a huge force came from the rope, and he was staggered forward.
"This guy is so strong!" Lin Yan sighed in surprise, then directly poured his energy into his arms and started wrestling with the sandworm.
But at this time, the sandworm was frightened by Lin Yan. The power it unleashed between life and death should not be underestimated. After all, it didn't want to die!
Both sides are competing, but it is the ropes that are taking the pressure. After all, this rope is not a treasure, it is just an ordinary rope, but it has endured pressure that its quality should not bear.
Seeing that he was almost reaching his limit, Lin Yan was also very anxious.
"Once the rope is broken, won't this guy run away? No, we have to find a way!" Lin Yan thought so, but did not dare to relax at all.
Suddenly, he seemed to have an idea. He pulled the rope and jumped onto the back of the sandworm.
"Since I can't hold you back, I'll let you run. Let's see how long you can run!" At this time, the rope in his hand seemed to have become a rein, and with the end of the wrestling between one person and one insect, the pressure on the rope dropped sharply. , so as not to face the ending of rupture.
As soon as Lin Yan withdrew his strength, the sandworm couldn't restrain it enough and rushed out. Lin Yan was shocked. After he realized it, he quickly grasped the rope in his hand. Well, it was the reins now!
Sandworm naturally felt this human being on his back, and it felt humiliated by being treated like a mount.
Moreover, this human being poses too much of a threat to him, so he must get rid of him quickly. So the sandworm kept twisting its body, jumping up and down, and led Lin Yan away into the distance.
During this period, it was thinking about sneaking into the sand, but as soon as it had this intention, Lin Yan stabbed it with a knife. If it didn't stop, it kept stabbing. The pain was so painful that it lost its temper.
"Who is this person? He has nothing to do, right? He keeps getting in trouble with me as a bug. Is it necessary?"
"Yes, I admit that I wanted to eat you before, but didn't I succeed? Why, I won't let you run away now. This is too overbearing!" At this time, Sandworm was depressed, but he He didn't dare to disobey Lin Yan and force him to dive, after all, it was really painful!
Fortunately, as long as he doesn't dive, no matter how he jumps up and down, this guy won't care.
At this moment, the sandworm just hopes that this human being will leave as soon as he gets tired of playing with it, so he can just do his thing and let this poor little bug go!
Ever since, a wonder appeared in the long yellow sand! A giant sandworm was twisting and moving forward rapidly, and on its back stood a human boy. The key was that the boy was still holding a rein in his hand.
come in here
There were many disciples participating in the trial in the "Sand Tomb". Lin Yan also met several groups of people during this period, but the sandworm under him moved too fast, and the figures in front of him flashed past, causing him to I didn't even see it clearly, but I guess I didn't recognize him.
He thought so calmly, but those people didn't think so, and they were shocked at the time!
"Let me go, who is this? So fierce!"
"What the hell is that monster he's riding? It looks like a bug!"
"Have you ever seen such a big worm? I'm afraid this is not the ancestor of worms!"
"Awesome! Giant Insect Knight, this is the Giant Insect Knight!"
"..." Everyone who saw Lin Yan riding an insect expressed all kinds of exclamations, and even gave him a nickname.
The nickname "Giant Insect Knight", I just don't know if he likes it. But Lin Yan couldn't care about them, because he found that the sandworm's physical strength was too good!
Originally, he thought that this guy would lose its energy after running around for a while, and by then he would kill it and the matter would be over!
But who would have thought that this guy would fall out with him?
Just like "Five Stone Powder", I am so energetic that I can't stop! If it continues like this, who knows when it will run away?
Although riding this guy is much faster than walking on my own, it is out of control! Jumping up and down, it was like having a convulsion. This ride experience was not good at all!
Originally, Lin Yan thought that in terms of speed, this guy could be used as a mount, even though it was a bit ugly.
But after the actual ride, Lin Yan decisively gave up this idea, which he thought was not very reliable, and thought:
"It's better to kill it!" But this sandworm has rough skin and thick flesh, and it can't be stabbed to death for a while! Just when Lin Yan was worried, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He seemed to be spinning!
He was startled, and then he lowered his head sharply and found that it was not him who was spinning, but the sandworm beneath him. At this time, the latter was obviously confused and didn't know what was going on.
Lin Yan saw that the yellow sand around him was slowly rotating and sinking, and his heart sank. Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he had learned about this phenomenon in books before in the academy. This is——
"Whirlpool quicksand"! This is a unique phenomenon that only appears in the desert, and it is also a desperate mechanism of death!
"Quicksand", as the name suggests, is flowing sand. Sand is very common in deserts, but ordinary sand does not move.
But quicksand is different, it is like water, it will slowly
"flow". On ordinary days, from the surface, the area where quicksand is located is no different from ordinary sand.
However, once an object falls on it and the quicksand is disturbed, the fragile balance will soon be broken.
Then, the surface of the quicksand quickly
"Liquefaction", the surface sand becomes very soft, and the shallow sand also flows downward, which makes objects falling on it sink quickly.
But this is just ordinary quicksand;
The "whirlpool quicksand" will also accelerate its rotation during the sinking process, thereby accelerating the sinking speed of the object and making it impossible to escape.
Lin Yan encountered this situation at the moment. The sandworm just kept running away, and he must not have noticed the situation here. As for Lin Yan, he was also busy thinking about how to kill the big bug under his feet, feeling that it was always jumping alive. Of course, I didn’t pay attention.
By the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late, because the weight of an object is directly proportional to its dive speed.
And since the sandworm is so big, its weight cannot be light.
Under the accelerated dive of the "whirlpool quicksand", Lin Yan didn't have much time to react. The sandworm under his feet was swallowed up by the quicksand before he struggled much, and Lin Yan's feet also fell into the quicksand.
Once a person falls into quicksand, it is impossible to break free even if he exerts several times more strength than usual. Because as the human body collapses, the density of the sand will increase, which will put a lot of pressure on the human body, making it difficult for people to exert force.
If an adult of normal weight gets stuck in it and wants to pull him out, he would be able to lift several elephants!
The key is that even if you have the power to pull him out of the quicksand, you don't dare to do it easily, because if you grab someone in the hands of the quicksand, if you are not careful, you will end up with two-phase force, and the result will be broken bones and tendons!
Moreover, what Lin Yan encountered now was not ordinary quicksand. Under the accelerated rotation, the pulling force in the quicksand was extremely terrifying. If a force in the opposite direction was rashly applied to it at this time, Lin Yan was worried that even with his body's toughness, The level cannot be supported.
During this hesitation, the quicksand rotated faster and faster, and then completely engulfed Lin Yan's body, and then returned to calm, as if nothing happened here.
I don’t know how much time passed, but when Lin Yan opened his eyes again, he found darkness all around him and thought to himself:
"Is it possible that I really died in the quicksand? This is too casual!" He struggled to get up, feeling sore all over his body, which was the sequelae of the squeeze of the quicksand.
Fortunately, his physical fitness is different from ordinary people. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been squeezed into a pile of meat by now!
Lin Yan looked around carefully and found that it was really dark, with only some sporadic weird lights flickering in and out, like will-o'-the-wisps.
"Could this be the underworld?" He had heard the old man say that after death, a person would be dragged to the underworld by a seducer.
Good people can be reincarnated and re-enter the six realms of reincarnation; while those who do evil in the mortal world will be tortured and may never have the chance to be reincarnated again for eternity.
Although he is not a villain, he still has a lot of blood on his hands, at least he cannot be compared with a pure good person.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a chill, and said in his heart:
"Should I also be tortured?" While Lin Yan was thinking wildly, Qiu Lao's voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
"Boy, don't worry, you're not dead yet!" Lin Yan asked subconsciously:
"Old Qiu?" Then he carefully sensed his own condition. Well, there was also a heartbeat and pulse, which these dead people would not have.
In this case, he was relieved for a short time. But then doubts came again, and Lin Yan asked:
"Where is this?" Since it's not the underworld, why is it so dark and scary?
Qiu Lao replied:
"It should be under the quicksand just now." Lin Yan did not expect that in that place full of death threats,
There is actually such a place hidden under the "whirlpool quicksand". Isn't it supposed to be all sand under the quicksand?
Anyway, he couldn't figure it out at the moment, so Lin Yan stopped thinking about it. The top priority was to explore this place first.
The strange thing is where did the sandworm that was sucked in with him go? If he wasn't dead, the quicksand saved him by some mistake. How can I explain this?
Lin Yan looked around and finally saw a relatively large fire in the distance. It was formed by some sporadic fires coming together. When a small amount of light was gathered together, it appeared to be larger.
Human beings instinctively reject darkness and move towards light, so Lin Yan, like most humans, headed towards that place of fire.
When he finally came closer, he stood there in shock. It's not that he hasn't seen the world before, it's just that the scene in front of him is too shocking!
In front of him was an ancient city, and the firelight he had seen before seemed to be the lights emanating from each house.
An ancient city buried under yellow sand? Don’t you dare to be a little more magical!
