Card Alchemist

Chapter 279 Crazy Ant Lion

The night in the desert is very short.

It almost passed in the blink of an eye. As soon as it was dawn, Quiles summoned all his brothers to tell him about last night's deal.

Most people are still willing to follow their old leader Kui Ye to be a knight of the Holy See. Of course, those who are unwilling can also get a lot of remuneration. These rewards are much more than the money deducted from the caravan, which is enough for them to spend the rest of their lives. Naturally, everyone is happy to get the result.

Since this is their last task, naturally everyone's emotions are extremely high.

So when Quiles asked them to search in a carpet style, everyone was eager to have a try.

As the whistle sounded, dozens of birds flapping their wings quickly soared into the sky. This is a desert vulture. Their sharp eyes make them the best monsters to search from the air. Even at a height of 10,000 meters, it is easy to find a rabbit.

Several mercenaries also loosened the rope in their hands, and the other end of the rope tied the three jackals Star saw yesterday. They are also indigenous to the desert and are more sensitive to odors. Even if the smell left ten days ago, after another sandstorm, they can't escape their noses.

"The place of the evil disease is too big. If we can't determine the direction of the other party, it is equivalent to a headless fly. Even if you walk all over the desert, you can't find them!" Quiles explained for his big fight.

Star nodded.

The air in the desert is so dry that it can't adapt to the sword awn born in the damp mushroom forest. As for the reconnaissance bees, there is no need to count on them. No matter how Starr commands these gadgets, they will only fly around themselves. There seems to be a magnetic mine in the deepest part of the desert, which affects the reconnaissance bee.

"Master Kui! Lord Star! We found this thing. Do you think it's your companion's?

Just as the two were discussing, a voice came from the front. A desert dog dug out a piece of light armor the size of a palm from the sand, and the texture was very unusual. The interlayer of the cortex is embedded with a metal sheet. But the metal sheet is already full of cracks, which is more like being pierced by sharp utensils. However, the edges are not neat, as if they were artificially torn off.

"This is Tony's armor. It seems that he is in trouble!" Starr clenched the light armor in his hand. I made this light armor, and the embedded metal sheet can resist a lot of attacks!"

"Your Excellency, and here!" A mercenary shouted loudly, and the dog under his feet kept digging the sand. There is still blood there. Although it has dried up, it is still dyed red.

Quiles grabbed it and squeezed it in his hand. My lord, it should have been left yesterday evening. The evening wind hid this place last night. He should have left here.

Quiles showed the map and poked his finger on it.

"Then we should narrow the search circle and mainly look in this direction." Star drew an arc in his place, and the center of the arc was the desert relic.

Queiles then blew a long whistle, and standing on the sand, he quickly gestured to the scattered mercenaries. Then, the desert vulture quickly changed its direction in the air and swept forward in an arc formation. The dogs also roared and followed the vulture's flight direction.

Facts have proved that the speculation of the two is not wrong. Although there are not many items left along the way, they can distinguish the right direction. And the ultimate goal is always to point to the next oasis... Follow the route taken by Tones, which is also the most through the territory of Warcraft.

Star's pupil suddenly tightened. Shit, I was fooled!

At the same time, Quiles seems to be aware of it.

This route is not left by Tonis at all. If it is really he left as a mark for Starr to catch up, then he should stay all the way from the Thunder Mountains. It shouldn't be only here. Most likely, the guy chased by Tonis has found himself. Along the way, he deliberately left a mark passing through the Warcraft territory and lured himself to walk along here.

"Get everyone out of here!" Star shouted in a hurry.

The long whistle suddenly sounded, and the desert vulture suddenly pulled up. For a moment, the mercenaries seemed to lose control of the desert dogs. At this moment, the whole desert suddenly shook, and countless sand rolled to the center, and the undulating sand collapsed into a pit in an instant.

"Oh no, we met the streamer group!"

Quiles shouted loudly. He quickly blew a long rhythmic whistle to tell everyone about the danger that had happened here.

"No, this is the territory of Warcraft!" Star shouted. At the bottom of the sand pile, there is a powerful enough magic beast blocking itself from controlling the sliding sand. The whole desert seemed to begin to shake, and a deep pit only 20 yards in diameter suddenly appeared. For a moment, the mercenaries who had not had time to escape suddenly fell in, and their bodies involuntarily rolled down with Sha Shuo.

"Swordmang!"

Star shouted loudly. The sword light lying on the sand pile spread its wings without hesitation and quickly swept away into the bunker. The place where Star and Tonis stand is the center of the whole whirlpool. Up to now, most of them have been buried in the sand.

"Quiles, come and grab my hand!" Starr stretched out his hand as hard as he can. These are not ordinary sands under the feet, but contain high-purity metal minerals. With the magic of Esta, he could not fully detect the composition of sand in this area for a while, let alone launch alchemy. Today's hope is all pinned on the sword.

The people of the Desert Mercenary Regiment are wandering on the death line all year round, and this kind of crisis is naturally often encountered. After a brief panic, they quickly gathered. The crowd whistled and forcibly ordered the desert vulture to fly down, trying to save their companions trapped in the sand with these guys. Others hurriedly took out the rope and threw it into the bunker as much as possible.

However, the change happened again.

Just as the sword light was about to approach the bottom of the pit, there was a roaring sound in the center of the whirlpool. Countless sand splashed up like waves and almost rushed straight to the sky. Two big crab-like pliers stretched out from the center of the whirlpool and suddenly clipped to the sword. The tongs are almost unimaginable, like the shape of two half-moon-shaped original bows, and there are countless growing spikes on the inside.

It turned out to be a huge ant lion with a sickle-shaped forehead crazily. Every boulder sliding down the whirlpool was bitten by its sharp forehead without exception.

The fierce spread of Jian Mang's wings can pass the front jaw of the ant lion and avoid the fate of his body being cut off.

But the other mercenaries trapped in the whirlpool are not so lucky. The sand nests are sinking faster and faster, like a tornado in the water, sucking the mercenaries trapped in the whirlpool and sliding quickly to its mouth.

The sword roared loudly, and the wolf kiss opened. In the big mouth of the fangs, blue wind blades shot out one after another, sweeping the pliers to the sky.

'Puff' was muffled several times, and the indestructible wind blade splashed sparks on the black shell of the ant lion, and wiped out several white marks, which could not hurt this huge insect at all.

"Master Kui, help me...ah!"

The mercenary at the bottom of the bunker shouted for help. Before he shouted, he was bitten off by the ant lion's pliers. The open mouth quickly swallowed the mercenary's body into his stomach, and for a moment, the sound of bone crackling kept coming.

Quiles panicked and whistled again. Two short and three long whistles quickly stabilized the desert vulture flying in the air. With the continuous ups and downs of the whistle, the desert vulture quickly circled and circled over the ant lion. Constantly fighting against the ant lion with falling and rising offensives, although there is no way to cause damage to it, it is enough to distract the monster.

"Let's go!"

Star grabbed Quiles' collar. The sand in this area has been detected, but the use of alchemy will never be greatly hindered. The magic was instilled under his feet, and the sliding sand suddenly stopped retreating. The columns were pulled up from the sand and quickly raised the mercenaries who fell into the sand nests into the air.

The rescue of everyone made the Desert Fox Mercenary Corps more ambitious, and hundreds of people quickly surrounded the sand nest to fight back.

The sound of the crossbow arrows never stopped. The long crossbow arrows hit the back shell of the ant lion like raindrops, making a series of jingling sounds. The biggest headache for the ant lion is the vulture that can't hover in the sky. Although they can't cause substantial damage, their claws are always aimed at the huge compound eyes of the lion.

Just after Star and Quiles also broke away from the sand, the whole whirlpool suddenly stopped.

The ant lion quickly sank down, and the whole front jaw was buried under the sand.

"The spear team, 20 yards ahead, shoot at the same angle!"

As a mercenary regiment that makes a living by hunting, Quiles will not give any Warcraft a chance to escape. Almost at the moment when the ant lion had a tendency to escape, he ordered loudly. About 30 desert fox mercenaries held spears, and the fighting spirit in their bodies was quickly poured into the spear body. The ten-step run-up suddenly stopped, and the momentum was all concentrated on the spear.

Thirty spears skimmed through the air and quickly pricked the ant lion.

But at this moment, a huge airflow rose from the bottom of the sand nest. It actually disturbed the trajectory of the spear and made them fall weakly in the sand dunes. And the vortex in the sand nest continued to start again, and Star narrowed his eyes. The ant lion actually opened its mouth wide, and the crazy whale sucked the sand.

"Get out of the way!" Star had a bad feeling, and he shouted quickly.
