"Quick! Pull all the big cars in."
The coachmen had previously unhooked the beasts of burden from the cart, and everyone could only push or pull them to get all the carts out of the cave, and then drive all the beasts of burden into the cave.
Almost as soon as everyone parked the cart, the Stonehenge was shrouded in darkness.
The violent storm carried the sand and gravel and began to cut the boulders continuously, creating more gravel. Everyone felt that the whole world was constantly shaking. Apart from the rumbling wind and the vibration of the earth, nothing else could be heard.
Although they avoided the frontal impact of the strong wind, the cave was too shallow, and the wind and sand swept in were still very violent. Everyone tried their best to move the cart inside and get closer together. Prevent the leather covering it from being torn apart by strong winds.
Watching the storm outside constantly polishing the boulders, and even seeing monsters such as death beetles being blown by the wind and hitting the boulders, they were already in a state of disarray. The things being sucked into this boulder were like entering a crusher Generally speaking, don’t even think about going out at all.
The goods on these carts were wrapped tightly in leather so that no rain could get in, and a large net made of coarse hemp rope was covered outside. As long as it is not constantly polished by sand and gravel, or directly hit by sharp stones, there should be no problem.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although the wind was blowing fiercely, they were safe under this barrier.
The storm raged for quite a while before leaving the area.
Mo Bei had previously pushed Perona under the cart, fearing that the little dwarf would be blown away by the wind. As a result, the sand stopped moving under the car once it was rolled in. Now the part below the wheel is completely filled with sand. Mo Bei was shocked when he saw this, and quickly tried to pull her out.
As a result, Perona teleported to him and looked at him with an expression that looked like a fool.
Mo Bei saw that her body was much cleaner than those of him standing outside, and it didn't look like she had been buried in sand. It seems that he saw something bad going on under the car before and moved his position.
"Fuck! Even the sun is gone!" Rael suddenly shouted as he walked outside.
"Are you fooled? The sun is setting!" Grob picked up a piece of gravel and threw it on Rael's helmet.
"Oh..." Even with this guy Rael's face, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It was getting dark just after the storm subsided, and there was indeed a sense of confusion.
Since it was already dark, the caravan simply spent the night under this boulder barrier.
It was rare for everyone to raise the fire. With the shelter of these huge rocks, they did not worry that the fire would be discovered by monsters in the distance.
Foodie Paladin Ramsay held a small cloth bag and led three foodie barbarians to look for the Sand Scorpion in the crevices of the rocks.
This kind of terrain is the habitat of sand scorpions. After the sandstorm rages, these palm-sized scorpions actually appear one after another, looking for food brought by the wind and sand.
I heard Ramsay mention this thing before, and the original words seemed to be: Although it is small, it is very fragrant?
He thought it was really not that big, but now it looked bigger than a crab.
These scorpions even passed through the sandstorm unharmed, but they were in trouble when they encountered the three barbarian brothers.
Those three guys even used their skills to catch the scorpions, jumping up and down between the boulders, like three giant monkeys.
In addition to sand scorpions, there are also many snakes here. However, these cold-blooded animals are not very active at night and huddle in stone crevices or caves. But because Ramsay gave these sleeping guys a very There were also several comments about "delicious" by Rael and others.
This barbecue party using local materials did not disappoint Mo Bei and the others. Whether it was sand scorpion or snake meat, it was delicious after being grilled.
And it feels really good to bake and eat in this moonlit desert.
Granbell spontaneously climbed up a boulder to guard the caravan.
His clear big eyes glanced around, and then occasionally glanced at the bonfire under the boulder. A sense of security that he had never felt before emerged from his heart.
It seems that as long as that figure is there, no matter what kind of dangerous situation it is, it can eventually be resolved.
--------------------------
Half a month later, the ruins of a city that stretched as far as the eye could see appeared in front of everyone.
Although more than half of the ruins are buried under the yellow sand, the general outline of the city can still be seen from the incomplete city walls.
This was the first city built by the Kaijians in the Aranok Desert, and was once the core of this desert kingdom.
At first, they built a transit station leading to Western countries just because it had abundant underground water resources. Unexpectedly, this city attracted more and more businessmen to settle, and eventually developed into a behemoth.
But with the decline of the mage tribe, the city lost its powerful rule and became in constant disputes, which eventually turned into a war that destroyed the entire city and most of the desert kingdom.
Now the Mage Guild can basically conclude that the leader of that war was Lucien, the former pope of the Tritheism, who was killed before the War of Original Sin.
I don't know when this demon has been lurking in this desert again, manipulating one conspiracy after another.
Even the current turmoil in Lu Gaoyin is probably inseparable from this haunting guy.
The caravan entered the ruins along a road covered by yellow sand.
All the buildings here are made of bricks and stones, with thick lime powder on the outside and a kind of tree pulp as the adhesive, which is very strong.
Even after experiencing a devastating war and long years of sand erosion, some buildings are still relatively intact.
Warev took everyone to a courtyard with ease. The coachman, Ramsey and the others swept away all the sand in the center of the courtyard, then lifted up a thick stone slab, and a well appeared in front of everyone.
Mo Bei looked down and found that the well was extremely deep, and the reflection on the water was only as big as a bronze mirror. But what surprised him even more was that there was actually water here.
Warev said that such wells can be seen everywhere in the ruins of the city, and he comes here every time to fetch water. After feeding the beasts of burden, they walked to Lu Gaoyin in one go.
The bucket was lowered with a long rope, and water was quickly pumped up. Although it didn't look very clear because it hadn't flowed for a long time, it was perfectly fine for washing and drinking for the beasts of burden.
After a brief cleaning, everyone seemed to be in high spirits.
Anata also listened to Mo Bei's previous suggestion and shaved his middle-parted head into a shorter length. As a result, he doesn't look like a mage now. How can a mage look like a little ruffian?
The caravan has finished resting and is preparing to cross the last stretch of desert and enter the city of Lugaoin with high morale.
"What's the name of this city?" Mo Bei asked Kane, who was still looking around the ruins with a sigh on his face, while helping the driver to harness the carriage.
“This is the first city in this desert, so it’s called Alanock City. However, except for the caravans and career changers who come here to rest, almost no one remembers that there used to be a prosperous kingdom here. "
"This city was so completely destroyed that no records were left. Until now, there is still no information about this place. So it is now called the Forgotten City, or the Lost City." After Kane finished speaking, he sighed again. Take a breath.
Mo Bei was shocked. He was certainly familiar with this name. He didn't expect that they were already here.
"There are many ruins of small towns in this area. It was extremely prosperous at that time, so wherever groundwater can be dug, there are towns. We will see it in a while." Warev added on the side.
At this moment, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed.
Everyone was startled and looked around quickly, finding that the entire desert was shrouded in shadow.
"Damn it. The sun is really gone this time." Grob looked up and said.
Others have also noticed that the sun in the sky now only has a very dim circle of light. Within the aperture, there was a deep and strange darkness.
"Oh! It's a solar eclipse! It's a rare sight! But why did it appear so suddenly... It should pass soon. This kind of sight won't last long." Warev raised his head and said. .
No one noticed just now, but the light did dim in an instant. A normal solar eclipse process would not be so fast.
"I feel... this desert seems to be shrouded in a curse. A dark curse..." Kane frowned and shook his head.
No matter what, they still have to return to Lu Gaoyin first.
As the team continued to prepare for getting back on the road, Rogers suddenly warned: "There are many zombies crawling out of the sand, and they are everywhere in this ruins!"
"It's a mummy! It usually appears at night. It may be a solar eclipse that makes them...the time is wrong. If you have poison-resistant equipment, put on any anti-toxic equipment. These monsters are very poisonous!" Ramsay immediately reminded everyone.
The teams that had challenged Andariel had prepared a lot of anti-drug equipment. So everyone did as they were told and immediately started changing gear.
Undead creatures search for targets by sensing the life breath of living creatures. This caravan is like a beacon in the dark, attracting the surrounding mummies.
At this time, the surrounding light was actually dimmer than the real night, but the sand and building ruins were all light-colored. As soon as a gray-brown monster showed its head, it was hit by a freezing arrow. The ice pick drilled into the lower half of the skull and was unable to make any further progress.
It failed to penetrate! What a strong defense.
The damage of Milor's arrow is definitely not low, and he also uses the technique of penetrating arrows. Previously, any saber-toothed cat wearing a helmet could be penetrated with one blow.
Moreover, the mummy's head was not a critical point. After being frozen for two seconds, the mummy hit by the arrow rushed forward again with stiff steps.
"Try to destroy their bodies as much as possible. These mummies have very strong vitality. Even if they are pierced with a few holes, it will not have much impact." Ramsay reminded again, and then threw a holy light at the mummy that appeared on the other side. bomb.
Mo Bei launched a charge at a mummy, slashing with his battle ax and cutting the opponent in half in one stroke.
However, his expression changed, and he immediately took a few steps back and spat.
"Holy shit! It stinks so much!"
No wonder Ramsay is throwing Holy Light Bombs from a distance! Mo Bei burst into tears.
