Chapter 157 Sand Ghost
Who would have thought of this scene of thousands of troops and horses going on an expedition? It also happened once in another space-time curve that has not been changed in the past. The team of 5,000 troops was even more powerful than this time.
Only Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiao Leng know this secret of traveling through time and space and changing the past. They feel even more amazing when they look at the mane of the demon horse cavalry regiment following the leader's fence ghost from afar. Now he is intact and energetic. It is really gratifying to talk and laugh around the fence ghost.
The journey outside the Chimir Desert was unexpectedly smooth, and when they reached the edge of the desert, the more than a thousand sand camels had already been waiting there, but the scorpion had not yet appeared.
Seeing that they had arrived here, everyone had to stop again. Waiting left and right and waiting for the Scorpion to come, Wang Yue lost her patience and asked Ouyang Hongye, "Isn't your intelligence team member fooling us?"
"The reason why I can choose him to join the intelligence group is that I think I can trust him completely. I believe he won't lie. Wait a moment!" Ouyang Hongye also knew that letting the army wait endlessly is likely to relax the morale of the soldiers, but the sudden attack is also likely to be ambushed by the sand ghost, causing unnecessary sacrifices. On balance, he can only continue to wait.
"Is the sardard really that great?" Qianqi asked the spiritual feathers around him. He grew up by the water and had no idea about this kind of monster that can only be found in the desert.
"It may not be a single one, but this kind of thing likes team fighting." Ling Yu replied. He once saw a sand ghost and was almost dragged into the sand, so he didn't have a good impression of this monster.
Just as everyone was about to be disappointed, the belated scorpion finally appeared in everyone's sight, followed by a row of fellow soldiers in black. Regardless of their body shape and dress, the soldiers are very similar to him. The most obvious thing is that each of them has long braids, and the end of the braids has the red scorpion tail hook.
Originally, he should have joined the large army earlier. Who knew that the team that had just been finally formed had a situation halfway. One of them suddenly repented and felt that joining Wangcheng's troops would be restricted and thankless. As a result, he made so much trouble for other people's emotions. The impact.
The Scorpion spent a lot of effort to convince them. The personality of the Scorpion demon family is soft but not hard. The tougher the attitude of the other party is, the more difficult it is to convince them, so he has to know it and make up a reward that cannot be underestimated. But he hasn't figured out how to ask Ouyang Hongye for this reward in the future.
"I'm very sorry, Lord Demon King Fox, Lord Ouyang Hongye, the intelligence group Scorpion is late!" The scorpion knelt on one knee and said, and a row of soldiers behind him was stunned for a long time and knelt down casually.
"There is no need to say these. Hongye said that your scorpion demon family just has the ability to conquer sand ghosts. Let's see it. If you can really destroy all the sand ghosts, we will pass through the Chimir Desert smoothly. When we return to the royal city, I will definitely reward you a lot. Ouyang Xiao Leng said to the scorpion.
"Please rest assured, just leave it to us!" As soon as the Scorpion heard that he was worried about, he solved it like this. He thought it was really like God's help, and it was time for him to show his skills with his peers.
According to Lord Yong, they have two weapons, but the specific structure and use of these two weapons are not recorded in detail. One is called the sand wheel, which can create sand waves; the other is called a chain lock, which can trip over a sand camel beast walking in the desert. Be careful!" Ouyang Hongye's grandfather said.
"Yes!" After that, the scorpion led his fellow soldiers to rush into the desert.
At this time, it was noon, and the temperature here was much higher than that of the rest of the demon world, and there was an obvious burning sensation when stepping on the sand. He suppressed the speed of the soldiers behind him and moved forward unhappily, while being vigilant and paying attention to what might happen around him at any time. Seeing that they had gone far away unharmed, the soldiers waiting here in the desert could not calm down again, and the discussion sounded one after another.
"Is there really a sand ghost?"
"I think it was fabricated by Qingyun."
"It's a waste of time to wait for these scorpion demons for so long."
"That's right. If I had known that it would not have been better for us to apply for an assault force just now. Maybe we could get the reward of the demon king fox."
......
At the moment when the group of people were talking happily, the previously calm desert in their eyes began to change. Although there was no strong wind, large areas of yellow sand in the distance began to roll up like waves. At first, it was only a little bit, but later the sand wave became bigger and bigger, even continuous, until a huge sand wave rushed towards the scorpion.
"Look! Coming!"
I don't know who shouted, and the scorpions were submerged in the sand sea.
The vision and hearing of the scorpion demon are not good, but they can outline the dynamic picture by the vibration generated by the air and objects around them. The scorpion soon felt that there were about ten sand ghosts attacking him and his fellow soldiers. Their bodies were like awls, and the sand formed a special rustle when it passed through the countless copper rings on their bodies. They dragged a huge metal object like an anchor and a motor. The sand wave seemed to be formed by the big guy constantly rotating and turning the sand in the process of being dragged by them. He guessed that this was what Ouyang Hongye just said about.
By gestures, he commanded the soldiers of his family to go around the sand ghosts in two groups, and he also stared at one of them. Unexpectedly, the speed of these monsters in the sand was very fast. Even he wasted a lot of energy to catch up, but when he was in front of him, he let them run away, and his fellow soldiers also disappeared. I lost one. The large weapon in their hands seems to not only form sand waves, but also affect the perception ability of scorpions in the desert.
Although the scorpion demon can fight in the sand for a long time, after all, they are not as good as the sand ghosts who have already turned into undead. Every once in a while, they still have to go to the ground for breath. Several scorpion demon soldiers can't hold on drilling into the surface of the desert.
"They are coming up, and the sand ghosts have been eliminated, haven't they?"
Seeing their figures, I don't know who shouted in the large army waiting here.
Everyone in the army has been riding on the back of the hunchback. Someone in the team hugged forward when he heard the sound and pushed the front few people forward a lot. A terrible scene happened. A fast-moving white line suddenly appeared in the yellow desert. Because it moved too fast, it could not tolerate the soldiers who were squeezed in front of them. They tripped over it. The sand camel beast they were riding suddenly fell down and took them to the desert. On the surface, and a sand wave that followed soon completely swallowed up the soldiers like a sea of sand.
"Ah!" Many soldiers who witnessed all this shouted in horror.
"Don't panic! No one should take another step before the Scorpion sends a clear signal!" Ouyang Hongye scolded loudly.
The sand ghost was obviously more difficult to deal with than they had thought before, and he couldn't help pinching a cold sweat for the scorpion. Originally, he thought that it took so long for the scorpion to gather a large army, but he didn't expect that the soldiers of the scorpion demon family were so difficult to convince. It took nine cows and two tigers to bring back 20 people. Now he has to look forward to their unique skills and find a way to suppress these rare weapons such as sand ghosts.
After changing his breath, the scorpion once again led his fellow soldiers to dive into the desert, and the sand ghosts soon pulled the anchor-like sand wheel not far away. This time, he would never allow them to disappear under his eyes as easily as just now.
He held his breath and tried to outline each of their movements by the induction from his hair and skin, and soon found the reason why they suddenly disappeared after the attack. It turned out that after creating sand waves, they would take advantage of the gap of their opponents caused by the instantaneous movement of sand and take the opportunity to pull each other. Whether they succeed or not, they will immediately sink into deeper ground, which is why he will feel that they seem to suddenly disappear.
An idea suddenly poured into his mind. Aren't the dense copper rings on them the target for their scorpion tail hook? As long as you can hook any of those copper rings in the moment you pass them, you will not be affected by the illusion caused by their strange weapon.
He told his companions his plan with a gesture. When the sand ghosts dragged the sand wheel to attack again, he grabbed the copper ring armor on one of them at the right time, and several of his companions successfully did it. He felt that he was dragged down by the sand ghost. The sudden fall was like catching an unexpected big fish and being dragged down, but he was not sinking into the water but an endless desert.
The more the air sinks into the sand, the thinner it became, and the sense of his body became less sensitive. He could only subconsciously grab the "prey" hooked by him and fight with him under the sand.
Due to the resistance of the sand, his movements have been slowed down accordingly, and it is very difficult to spread his hands and feet. And the sand ghost is obviously more adaptable to this way of fighting than him. Its body seems to be not affected by resistance at all, but still moves freely.
The situation of his companions around him is not much better. It takes a lot of energy to get entangled with these monsters for too long, and they soon want to go back to it for ventilation.
The scorpion gradually began to feel a sense of suffocation, but he didn't want to give up. He made a bold decision and simply pulled the other party on the sand at once, but this requires great risk, because in the current situation, if he can't successfully drag the other party out, it is likely to be due to physical strength. He was completely defeated by it, so that he died under the yellow sand.
He couldn't help wondering if he would become one of these sand ghosts at that time, and then he felt that his thoughts were really ridiculous and his mood became relaxed. He fantasized that he was about to suffocate in the moment when he had already sunk into the deep sea, but was finally able to rush out of the sea. He was only one step away from breathing the long-lost air, and then showed a changed scorpion tail on the bottom of the sand with a demon, throwing the sand ghost up, and he also rushed away with this force.
After breaking through the barriers of the sand layer, the dazzling sunlight finally appeared. He had never liked the light and heat from the sun as much as he did at this moment. Not far from him, it was the sand ghost dragged up by him. The monster was not too big, and his whole body was wrapped in a dense copper ring.
It was still trying to sink into the sand and escape, but how could the Scorpion make it come true? He grabbed the long braid behind his head and dragged the monster towards the big team. Behind him, the warriors of the scorpion demon clan also imitated his way and dragged out the prey they had just hooked.
