Alvin covered his face tightly, leaving only his two eyes exposed, and walked forward with his head buried in the wind and sand.
The three big white dogs beside them also had their heads drooped, and in this weather, even if the crow flew above the dusty area, it would not be able to detect anything.
"What's going on with this sun? It's been like this since we entered the desert..." Alvin muttered under his turban.
Akali also put a scarf around her face and just shook her head after hearing this. Then he continued to half-close his eyes and look around.
At this time, the convoy not far away seemed blurry, let alone the team on guard on the other side of the convoy.
They had waited for more than a month at Rogge Camp before finally waiting for this caravan heading east from Dunkre.
While waiting, they also thought about setting off directly, but because the three of them had no sense of direction, they ultimately did not dare to enter the desert rashly.
Ned felt a little ashamed after knowing that Perona was responsible for navigation in Mo Bei's team. However, this sense of direction is innate, so he could only find many books and maps to improve his various skills in identifying directions in the desert. I hope it can play a role in Lu Gaoyin's experience.
As a result, he was now looking at a desert scene that was completely different from what was recorded in the book, and his whole body felt bad. All his efforts were in vain!
Because of the unusual solar eclipse, the weather conditions in the desert also changed dramatically. The temperature difference causes the sea breeze to drive in from different directions, constantly stirring up the sand and dust.
Even the experienced caravan leaders and mercenaries were hesitant whether they should turn around and return to Rogge's camp.
Fortunately, the dim halo of light in the sky pointed the direction steadily, and the monsters could not detect them from a distance in this weather. So far, their journey was going smoothly.
------
After Mo Bei finished the transaction with Achido, he began to wonder why the other career changers seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, even keeping more than two steps away from him when talking.
On the wall, he saw the transaction note that Locke and the others had just replaced, and then went to the tavern where they were last seen. Sure enough, they saw four people having a meal. He waved and walked forward.
"I got the shield back, look at it."
Locke put down the food and tableware, stood up, took the shield, and stroked it lovingly.
Mo Bei looked at the tableware and cups arranged neatly in front of him, and even half a piece of cake was placed squarely in the center of the plate.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, no doubt.
"A very good shield! Thank you!" Locke said solemnly.
"Then what shield are you using now?" Vivian was a little curious and wanted to know what kind of shield could replace such a top-notch shield.
Mo Bei took out the dark gold light shield, and the three people present were a little dumbfounded.
"It is indeed an impeccable shield." Locke nodded, but there was not much envy on his face.
"Where are you going next?" Mo Bei asked.
"Lost City, we will set off tomorrow. Many teams are now heading to the Snake Canyon, but there is a scout team missing in the Lost City. The Dark Elder seems to have left the ruins and is wandering around."
The kind of boss-level monsters with extremely wide range of perception wandering around are indeed very dangerous, and may even gather large groups of monsters.
"We're going to the Snake Canyon later. I won't interrupt your meal. Just be careful! See you later!"
"Okay! You guys should be careful too!"
The four of them watched Mo Bei leave, and McCann looked a little surprised.
"They really want to enter the Snake Canyon..."
He would specifically remind him before because he himself had almost died under the siege of snake people. Unexpectedly, this small team that had just arrived in Lugaoyin actually wanted to go in.
"Their team should be much stronger than ours, not just because of the equipment." Locke said his judgment calmly.
"Well, that cute little Perona's mental control is much more flexible than mine..." Vivian put her face on her hands, looking a little discouraged.
"So you have been corrupted by wine?" Anna asked.
"No."
In fact, Vivian's use of mental power or meditation under the influence of alcohol is the same as the body's weight training.
"The Amazon Milor among them also has strong control over his body, and his hand movements and footsteps are extremely stable." As an assassin, McCann's focus is different from Vivian's.
Anna nodded, agreeing with McCann's observation.
No wonder they reached Lugaoyin so quickly, the four of them sighed together.
Mo Bei returned to Aigis' hotel and saw Milor and Perona eating.
"You guys are up too?" Mo Bei said, taking out the bundle of dried meat from the inventory, pulling out one stick and handing it to Perona.
"Come on, eat more meat."
Perona took the hard piece of meat and looked at it with a very troubled expression.
"I got up about half a day ago and woke up Perona. Then we went to prepare some things needed for the experience."
"Oh? That's just right. I also got the equipment back and replaced it with this ring." Mo Bei distributed all the repaired equipment and then got up to settle the room and meal expenses with Aigis.
Not long after, the three of them were fully equipped and walked straight out of the city gate along the dim street.
As soon as they left Lugaoyin City, the three of them let go of their speed and swept across the rubble wasteland like a gale, leaving pieces of monster corpses behind them.
After the cacti and thorn plants completely disappeared from the sand, the countless boulders that had been polished by the wind and sand became more dense. In the dim light, the silhouettes of those boulders looked like crawling heads. A giant beast on the sand and gravel.
And this seems to be the favorite terrain for those sand hoppers. After discovering the whereabouts of humans, they crawled out from between the cracks in the rocks like fleas parasitizing on a giant beast, and jumped down from the boulder.
Looking at the jumpers appearing from all directions, the speed of the three of them did not slow down at all. Kill the oncoming monster and then charge directly towards it.
These jumpers have excellent jumping ability and can run and jump extremely quickly on the sand. However, they are hanging behind the three of them and cannot shorten the distance no matter what.
Just when they were about to give up, a blazing wall of fire suddenly rose from the sand at their feet. The flames seemed to have tearing power. Although they immediately jumped out of the range of the flames, their skin, which was invulnerable to swords, had also become charred black. Cracked.
The pain did not last long, a strong wind passed by, and the heavy and cold sword blade smashed all their heads into pieces.
Mo Bei felt that this giant sword of war was like breaking ice with a blunt instrument when it struck the monster. These leapers, who are good at using their flexible bodies and bones to relieve the force of attacks, are like bananas dipped in liquid nitrogen, crunching under this sword.
The surrounding boulders gradually showed many traces of artificial carvings. This was another prosperous area of the desert empire, because going north from here, there are oases dotted on the desert.
It was also the most densely populated area besides Aranok City.
But now, there are countless mutant insect swarms gathered there, and even job changers are reluctant to go deep into them.
After seeing a stone-carved human head several feet high, the three of them turned directly to the southwest, heading to the area where the Snake Canyon was located.
Snake Canyon is a huge rift valley surrounded by huge rocks. There is no clear record of its formation.
And from time to time, the canyon is completely buried by yellow sand, and then perhaps reappears when another dust storm subsides.
But this has no effect on the snake people entrenched in it. These snake people are still alive and kicking even if they are buried deep in the yellow sand for several months.
Mo Bei felt that this was simply a map that was open for a limited time. It was no wonder that Locke and the others couldn't help but go in and explore it.
