Chapter 153 Black Sand Storm

Human principalities vary greatly in area.

The area of ​​the Principality of Glen ranks third among the many human principalities, second only to Sealand and Barda.

However, due to the fertile land and the prosperous economy of the southern cities, the population is much larger than that of Barda, and the strength is even stronger.

Even if an extraordinary scholar like Gu Bo wanted to fly at full speed across the north and south of the Grand Principality, it would still take about ten days to reach the Gobi Desert in the south from the northernmost tip of the Grand Principality.

If the average person walks, it will take at least two months. From this, we can imagine the vastness of the Principality of Barda, the Principality of Sealand and the Great Empire of Aurora.

between different principalities.

Outside the radiation range of the temple's faith, or outside the area ruled by the Academy of Natural Sciences, there is a large area of ​​desolate, barren and unclaimed land.

Human city-states are like greenhouses opened up in the land of Star Curtain. Under the protection of many temples, gathering places suitable for human survival and reproduction have been opened up in scattered spots.

In the vast areas outside the city-state civilization, there are too many terrifying and harsh living environments.

It is precisely because of this that, except for a very few special airships, it is almost difficult to carry out balloon airship transportation missions between different principalities.

…

Two days later.

A group of five members of the Thunder Hammer Guardian mercenary group, guarding their two employers, were walking on the edge of the Gobi and desert borders of the Principality of Morsi.

Everyone stared at the black sandstorm hundreds of meters high on the horizon, crushing and devouring a few people with overwhelming terror, and there was a hint of panic in the eyes of the seven people.

"Run! It's a black sandstorm! This is the border of the principality. If you are not protected by the god of sandstorms, you will die if you get caught in it!!!"

Yuli yelled.

As a mercenary who often travels between Gran and the Principality of Morsi, he is well aware of the horror of black sandstorms.

Everyone hurriedly ran towards a rocky mountain in the distance.

Panting continuously, racing against time, seeing Mitya's red face exhausted, Yuli picked her up on his back.

"God of sandstorms bless you!"

As a scholar, Mitina actually prayed on Yuli's back, staring at the black gauze sand wall getting closer and closer in horror, almost crying.

Lei Luo shook his head, and it was not difficult to understand why her power level was so low.

Several people tried their best to escape to the stone mountain and found a recess to avoid squeezing together.

After a while.

boom……

The violent wind and sand instantly submerged everything outside. Only dense crackling sounds could be heard, and gravels the size of fingernails rained down on the stone mountain.

Huddled together at the back of the mountain, several people except Lei Luo kept praying to the Sand God.

"Um?"

Under the X mask, Lei Luo stared at the sandstorm with his eyes, seeming to notice something.

It was a storm elf, about half a person tall. Its upper body looked like a demon child, holding a translucent triangular fork with wind elements. Its lower body looked like a ball of storm, playing in the sandstorm.

Tens of thousands of storm spirits roared past, forming the most terrifying black sand storm in the Principality of Morsi.

"It's not a natural sandstorm, but some kind of migration of wind elves?"

Could it be that this is a way for the God of Sandstorm to win over his followers?

Lei Luo silently watched the sandstorm outside and the fleeting group of storm elves.

Roar……

Faintly, in the violent sand and dust, Lei Luo seemed to hear a terrifying roar. It was obviously some kind of stronger storm creature passing over the heads of several trembling humans.

About an hourglass time passed.

The black sandstorm gradually subsided, but it looked like it would continue for a while.

The 1024 Night Guardian Cover appeared on Lei Luo's body, and he walked out of the stone mountain for shelter while everyone was watching.

"Don't go out!"

Yuli shouted.

Lei Luo was indifferent, standing in the black sandstorm that had calmed down a lot, carefully feeling the intensity of the sandstorm, looking for possible storm elves, but unfortunately found nothing.

"I'm afraid that at least extraordinary scholars are required to survive in such a storm. As for the power to launch such a sandstorm, it is beyond my imagination. It seems that even in the human country, the major temples and natural academies are covered by radiation, there are still Some powerful life forms are wreaking havoc."

…

After the sandstorm subsided, the group continued on their way.

Youli couldn't help but sigh under the scorching sun.

"This is just a small stretch of desert extending from the Furnace Desert. Compared to the vast and vast real Furnace Desert, its area is probably less than one ten thousandth. It's really hard to imagine how those expeditions crossed the Furnace Desert."

But Mitina said: "My mentor said that his mentor was once fortunate enough to participate in a crusade. If you want to cross the Crucible Desert, the minimum standard is a charge fighter."

"Storm Fighter?"

As a trainee fighter, Youli couldn't help but reveal a trace of yearning and fear.

"careful!"

Anna, who was walking at the front, raised her hand and said in surprise: "They are Death Sand Scorpions, and there are two of them!"

After hearing this, everyone looked over.

At the end of the sand dune, there were actually two giant black carapace objects as tall as one person. Their shapes could not be clearly seen in the steaming and twisted air, and only two huge black spots could be faintly seen.

"Death Sand Scorpion! Run!"

Yuli and Mia shouted almost at the same time, with panic written on their faces.

It stands to reason that this kind of desert horror creature usually does not appear here, probably because of the black sand storm just now.

Death sand scorpion?

Under the X mask, Lei Luo was in for a surprise!

This kind of advanced poisonous insect rarely appears in the human principality, and often requires special cultivation in the laboratory. Now two of them have appeared at once. For Lei Luo, it is not only a specimen problem, but also related to the first stage of "Self-Control". The final breakthrough!

After the corrosive poison prepared by Merlin reaches 99%, only the last bit is left to complete the first stage.

However, Lei Luo could not make up for this last bit.

According to Lei Luo's estimation, it is likely that the natural corrosive venom of some high-level poisonous insect must be used as a drug guide.

Moreover, at mask fairs, the poisonous gallbladders of high-level poisonous insects can also be sold for a good price.

Swish, swish, swish...

At this time, it seemed that it was too late to escape.

At the same time that everyone discovered the two death sand scorpions, the two death sand scorpions also discovered the food delivered to their doorsteps, and they excitedly chased after them.

The body is covered with black hair, and the two giant claws are shining brightly. The poisonous hook behind it exudes a cold breath of death. It is as tall as a person and has an astonishing speed. A row of compound eyes flashes with a dark red light.

"Oops!"

The female warrior Mia looked desperate.

As a native of Morsi, she knew the horror of this giant poisonous insect creature.

"Very good!"

At the same time, Lei Luo let out an excited murmur.

The sky above Lei Luo's head was silent, and a dark red eye slowly opened.

With the aura of violent destruction, the dark red eyes blinked slightly, and after looking at the two black spots on the ground, a twisted, dark red pillar of destruction fell from the sky.

Buzz.

The death sand scorpion, which was as tall as a person, let out a scream, ran two steps and curled up into a ball. Its body surface was burned red, and there was a slight burning smell. It was cooked in a short time.

"Then...what is that!?"

Mitina screamed and pointed at the dark red eyes in the sky.

This feeling was as if a giant from another dimension was looking at the land through the mouth of a bottle. Ling Ran was horrified and trembling with fear.

The other people also noticed this eye in the sky and watched nervously at this strange supernatural power. This was not a power that the fighter could understand.

"Mr. X?"

Hiss!

The other Death Sand Scorpion seemed to sense the danger, and turned around and ran away faster than when it came.

Lei Luo, who was waiting for this specimen to be delivered to his door, was slightly startled, and there was a sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth under the X mask.

"Where are you going? My specimen, hum!"

While several people were stunned, Lei Luo used the bubble technique and actually chased the furnace sand scorpion. The esoteric scholar's fanatical hobby of collecting specimens was really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Not for a while.

After a period of fighting on the sand dunes in the distance, Lei Luo looked at the poisonous gall and poisonous hook specimens he had just collected with satisfaction, and returned to the team with satisfaction.

"Master X, you are so powerful, when will I be as powerful as you!"

Mitina thought Lei Luo was a senior scholar.

Lei Luo smiled slightly under his mask.

These two death sand scorpions are just level 0 creatures. They are only feared by ordinary people because of their special poison and bloodthirsty.

In terms of real strength, these two death sand scorpions are far inferior to the mature ogre spiders of Black Rock Mountain.

As for the physical strength of my body, in the past few months, relying on the D-type body tempering agent, the nourishment of the Pisces Pendant, the perfection of the first stage of "Self-Control" and the passive blessing of the cursed true body, it has been greatly enhanced, and the strength is not weaker than normal. As a formal fighter, he also has the Flame Dragon's Roar Melee Wand and the 1024 Night Guardian Shield, which can be used as a sneak attack with harmless hints. If he singles out a Furnace Sand Scorpion, there is really no pressure.

…

night.

Everyone set up tents in the desert.

Lei Luo studied the toxin of the furnace sand scorpion under the spar lamp, and used other corrosive agents to try to inject 1mg into the body.

"Um……"

The voice groaned.

This familiar feeling, the burning feeling, appears again!

The power of "Self-Control" is not to improve one's own essence, but to unleash one's own potential to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Equivalent to any means of strengthening one's body, Lei Luo's power will be increased several times!

From Lei Luo's current perspective, this ancient man who developed "Self-Control" has obviously reached a very advanced level in his research on the body.

"Mr. X!"

Mitya ran over again and sat next to Lei Luo. She looked at Lei Luo's experimental research with a round smile and curiosity.

Lei Luo was not used to having a stranger observing his experimental research, but this little girl was very ignorant.

Lei Luo sighed secretly, he couldn't drive his employer away, could he?

"Are you from Saier City? Tell us about the Gu Yue family."

"Master, do you also know the Gu Yue family?"

Mitya looked excited.

"The Gu Yue family is one of the five major families in Seymour. His Majesty's mother is a member of the Gu Yue family. The three northwest provinces are under the influence of the Gu Yue family. Even Saier City is controlled by the Gu Yue family for six hundred years. It was funded and built years ago. It is said that they possess a mysterious power. Even academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Grantham have visited this ancient family many times."

"Mysterious power?"

Lei Luo asked tentatively.

"Yes."

Mitya was just a child of fifteen or sixteen years old, a little immature, smiling mysteriously, and deliberately lowering his voice.

"On May 15th every year, when the lunar tide is at its strongest, the Gu Yue family can open entrances to various magic eye worlds, which contain countless evil creatures and ancient treasures. By selling By exploring the quota, the Gu Yue family made friends with countless forces and received amazing benefits in exchange."

Lei Luo already knew this.

"What is the world of magic eyes?"

Um……

Mitina pondered for a moment.

"I don't know. Anyway, every time it is opened, there are special restrictions on entering the Magic Eye world. In some years, only women can enter, in other years, only men can enter, and in other years, one must be sealed. Only eyes can enter.”

Mitina pouted, her voice a little low.

"Sister Mia said that this year's Magic Eye World Exploration requires that you must be a trainee fighter or a level 0 energy magnetic field enlightenment student to enter. My brother is the strongest trainee fighter in the family. I came back this time to see him off, just in case. If he fails like the previous two family explorers, this may very well be the last time I see him.”
