Chapter 14 Sand Ray
The team marched silently. The torch extends in the dark and forms a bright fire dragon in the dark corridor. Everyone followed in the footsteps of the desert warriors. They have to go to another place, deeper than the underground temple. The desert warrior said that there may be some unknown dangers there, but in any case, it is much better than sitting and waiting for the soldiers to come.
- They cut the chain of the hanging basket and destroyed the mechanism, but Leo knew that even so, they might not be able to stop the witch and the lackey. They obeyed Monroe Selt, and the bishop could not resist the female magician. The greasy, sticky swamp-like dirty magic made Leo's heart palpit. They seem to be plotting something. But the top priority...
What about the traitor?
Li Ou found an excuse to walk behind, trying to find even a trace. However, he was soon extremely disappointed. He didn't find anything. That guy seems to have noticed that he hasn't shown any flaws all the way. Soon, Li Ou felt bored, and then the waves came one after another, as if the waves were coming.
The effect of the medicine gradually faded, and he realized it weakly.
The pain that had been contained before was all rejuvenated by the numb nerves. At this time, it rushed towards him, like a torrent of steel when a whole team of cavalry charged. He was unable to resist it and could only let himself shake in the wind and rain like a falling willow leaves. In this overwhelming pain, the wound of the left hand was particularly shaved. The five fingers opened uncontrollably, and the fingertips were pale and swollen, like floating corpses soaked in water. His footsteps staggered, stumbled, and stones were kicked by unliftable feet, hitting the surrounding walls one after another, like thunder in the dark silence.
Nanta, who walked in front of him, heard the noise and hurried over to help him. Thank you." He apologized weakly and squeezed out an ugly smile. That traitor must be laughing secretly, right? He looked up at the walker in the firelight and thought to him. In this case, since you are already weak, behave a little weaker. Laugh loudly and sarcastically. I'm waiting for you.
"You deserve it." The cold hum of disdain is particularly harsh.
Rava Joray pulled his son hard, "Sut up!"
"Why shut up?" Sasha shook off his father's hand. Can't you even say it?" His words were fierce and his voice became louder and louder. Leo felt that he was deliberately provoking the enemy. Let's see what we have become now. We followed them and became gerbils. Run for your life under the ground!"
" Shut up!" Rosie roared in a low voice.
This has caused greater resistance. White devil, come on, kill me!" Sasha waved his arm and said, "Do you gerbils know how to escape? I don't want to do this! So, come on, kill me! I have wanted to be relieved for a long time!"
He should be glad that there are very few people in the team who can understand Valian. Otherwise, the vast majority of people will never mind fulfilling his wish. This is more convenient and faster than the gods responding to his prayers.
"Sasha, what are you talking about?" Lava Jore shouted angrily.
"I'm just saying what I want to say." Sasha shouted, "I've had enough, father, I've had enough!" Why do we have to follow them? Why were we good, but now we have been wanted by the golden machete, like mice crossing the street? That's because the whole city is full of hostility, as if it were a hungry beast that people want to eat. It's all because we met them - these white devils! This must be the punishment of the gods.
"The gods did not punish us." The desert warrior said.
"What is that?" Sasha asked loudly, "Is the will of the gods to let us hide and not see the sun all day long?"
To be honest, who would like to do this? But Leo would rather face monsters than the scorching sun. Everyone's eyes under the day were full of hatred, as if they were sworn enemies. He just wants to stay well, survive a few days, and then leave here quickly. He is also fed up with being exiled in a foreign country, tied up and frightened, and the deep-rooted beliefs here are still frightening.
"The time has not come." The desert warrior said, "Patience and wait."
Sasha shouted, "Wait for a fart! I just don't want to die!"
Everyone prays like this, but few achieve their wishes. It can be seen that the gods did not do anything. Mr. Li Ou, will he attract the enemy if he calls like this? Nianta asked in a low voice worriedly.
"Maybe." He said with the pain of convulsions.
Sasha is still cursing. Even his father can't stop the rebellious child, but everyone ignores him. In the cold and silent dungeon, a little noise is more like a clear spring in front of you when you are thirsty. However, he looked like a traitor who deliberately provoked trouble. Will it be him? A child who doesn't know the depth of heaven and earth? Leo is still not sure, and of course he can't deny it. He still has to stare at each other and pay attention to his every move.
The stone slabs under the feet turned into sand, the collapsed dome, and huge stones and gravel like golden waterfalls fell from the sky, occupying more than half of the hall in front of him. The boots stepped on the yellow sand, like walking on the snow, creaking.
"Where else do we have to go, can't we just rest here?" Sasha complained loudly, "No one can catch up."
"Cight!" The desert warrior raised his hand and gestured to stop them.
What are you doing? There is nothing around."
"Shut up!" The desert warrior suddenly shouted in anger. This is the first time Leo has seen him angry. Do you want to die?"
Sasha shrank to the corner like a wounded lamb and couldn't help trembling.
"What's wrong?" Leo broke free from Nianta's help and raised his feet...
"Don't move." The desert warrior's face was solemn, full of tension and uneasiness. Don't move yet. Don't move for the time being. He looked left and right and stared at the huge sand pile in the hall. Don't talk, keep silent.
There is a terrible silence spreading in the darkness. This silence is different from the past. There is a kind of indescribable horror that makes Leo's hair stand up. The gloomy breeze raised gravel, and fine dust penetrated into his mouth and nasal cavity, all through. Leo felt that he was being monitored by an unknown thing that was cold and didn't like him. The flame burst slightly, and his muscles involuntarily tightened. At this moment, he forgot the pain of the wound and held the hilt of the sword.
However, until the whole body was sore and soft, there was no abnormality.
"There is nothing." Sasha whispered disdainfully.
It's just that the desert warrior is unexpectedly more cautious, and even... has some fear? Isn't he a warrior of the gods? But if even he shows fear, then the unknown thing that has not yet appeared must be particularly dangerous. Back up." He said urgently and without doubt, "Go back to the wall without sand around."
"Do as he says." Leo ordered.
Boots step on the sand surface. The rustling sound is particularly harsh.
"What the hell happened?" Li Ou asked.
Before the desert warrior answered, Leo heard the scream. It is more harsh than any woman's scream and more frightening than the banshee's howling, as if it were the source of hell. The scream passed through Leo's mind like a cold, sharp knife. But after that sound, it fell into silence. But the unknown thing is indeed around them and getting closer and closer.
"What on earth is it?"
"The devil of the sand sea and sand sea." Sasha said in fear. His back was tightly attached to the cold wall, and his shrinking pupils stared at the sand pile in front of him. It's coming, it's coming."
The gravel rolling heralds the arrival of the devil.
A pierced fin that pierced the sand surface appeared in the fire, and went straight down the golden waterfall, spreading a wave of sand. It swims effortlessly in the sand, unimaginably flexible, and mocks the clumsiness of land creatures like fish in the sea.
"We usually call it a sand sting." The desert warrior said.
It swam towards them quickly. Stay on the rocks and don't go into the sand. Lava Choray roared. Everyone squeezed into the rock, facing the unknown, even the knight's face was full of uneasiness. Everyone thinks it's safest to stay on the rocks.
"Pull out your swords." The desert warrior said, "They will jump directly on these rocks and drag you down. It's much easier to chop them with the sword than to avoid them.
The long-tailed lizard in the dune roughly smashed the ground without any warning, causing a huge sand explosion.
That thing, just like its name, is like a huge ray, with a flat body, a circle of spikes around its body, and a thorny tail swinging in the air to maintain balance. A big mouth full of sharp teeth flew past Leo's head with disgusting saliva.
It jumps too high and too fast. Leo found that his body could not keep up with its speed at all, and only the short spear of the desert warrior left a shallow wound on its belly. While celebrating that his goal was not himself, he looked behind him worried and uneasily. Who is its target?
What greeted the sand bream was a gun forest and sword tower, but it twisted its body as if it could fly and avoided most of the attacks. Several long swords cut it, and the bones were visible, but even the amazing crows could not stop it.
The sand sting hit the crowd close to the wall and bit the red pigeon Eugene, who had no time to escape. His thighs were tightly bitten by machete-like teeth and blood splashed. He shouted sadly, beat his fists and struggled hard, but to no avail. The oval head firmly bit him and pulled him to the gravel.
The knights tried to rescue, but its tail patted heavily. In the tremors and flying dust of the hall, it jumped up like a bow and arrow, took its booty through a sword net and dived back to the ground.
It came together quickly and suddenly, and it ended so abruptly. Many people hardly reacted, and the devil in the sand sea disappeared, leaving only the strip of skin torn from the red pigeon Eugene's leg on the blood-stained rock. This is a perfect hunter. Leo realized that he did not want to avenge the red pigeon Eugene, let alone save him.
"Why didn't you save him?" Lu Yuewu asked angrily. We have to save him."
"Save?" Li Ou sneered and said, "No, let him die."
"You..." Her eyes are full of anger. I misread you."
However, this time, it was only her fault.
"We don't have such a partner." Leo told her. How can a traitor be called a partner?
The silver glittering things sprinkled on the ground where the red pigeon Eugene was bitten by sand rays and the dragged sand surface prove everything.
