Su Ming grabbed the gliding feather and floated farther and farther in the air. He was separated from the exploding airship and the falling players.
Because it is high enough, Su Ming can slightly change the direction of gliding, just like swimming.
After walking fearfully through an area of sharp rock pillars corroded by wind and sand, Su Ming fell onto a sand dune. Unable to steady his body, he turned into a ball and rolled down, eating a mouthful of sand.
"Bah!"
After spitting the sand out of his mouth, Su Ming stood up, opened the mini map, and checked his current location.
Since Su Ming has never been to Esperne, the small map is completely dark now, with only a few major cities marked on the map.
In the backpack, the return stones from the initial cities are also gray and cannot be used.
Without the teleportation array and the city return stone, it would take Su Ming 5 or 6 days to reach the city of Hierro closest to him.
In addition to walking there, there is another way to die directly and return to the starting point, and then fly over in an airship, but this method is unacceptable to Su Ming.
He would rather spend a few days walking there than lose experience.
The urban density of Esperne is much smaller than that of the initial land. With fewer cities, there are naturally more monsters. Players after level 25 should come here to level up faster.
The wind blew and stirred up the fine sand. Su Ming wondered:
"Aren't you saying there are so many monsters? Why can't you see any of them?"
Brush brush brush——
The sound of sand rubbing against Su Ming came from his side. He came to his senses and summoned three pets.
When Hammer came to a hot area, he was so happy that his body surface bubbled, and he obtained a "high temperature" BUFF, which increased his damage by 5%.
"Hot, hot, hot." Xiao Hei jumped up as soon as he landed on the ground and touched the sand that was hot in the sun. However, as a slime, he quickly adapted to the hot climate and rolled around as usual.
, jumping around.
Zaemon also felt hot, but he kept silent, he was a cool guy.
Su Ming discovered that he and Zuemon had a "thirst" icon under their status bars. The icon was in the shape of a drop of water. It was still blue and was turning gray at a very slow speed.
Thirst: You will enter the "thirsty" state (-50 health points/second) after one hour, please prepare enough water.
"A special area debuff? These days, I have to rely on potions to support it."
Because he had to walk for a long time, Su Ming temporarily took Zaemon back to the pet space to save "water" resources.
Fortunately, neither Xiao Hei nor Hammer needed to drink water. Otherwise, Su Ming, an animal trainer, would not have been able to last long alone in the wild.
Brush brush brush——
The sound of sand rubbing against each other came again, but no monster was seen.
Su Ming felt it and immediately took a step back. An earth-yellow scorpion about 70 to 80 centimeters long emerged from where Su Ming was standing. Its tail was curled backwards, and the tip of its tail was filled with green venom.
Desert Scorpion (LV28):9200/9200.
The poisonous scorpion stretched out its two large pincers and rushed towards Su Ming.
As it charged, poisonous scorpions rushed out from under the sand at Su Ming's feet. Fortunately, Su Ming was sharp enough and moved at a high enough speed to dodge all the poisonous scorpions' sneak attacks.
The hammer came to Su Ming's side, and the lava surged with the hammer.
Lava sweeps across!
-
465,-501,-486……
All the scorpions swept by the hammer were swept away and fell to the ground. The four pairs of walking legs struggled twice in the air. As soon as they turned over, Xiao Hei landed with the "Perfect Tactics" skill, and then a ball of viscous liquid exploded.
, causing 6000+ damage to each poisonous scorpion.
After a few beatings, Xiaohei's viscous liquid had completely cooled down, and after another explosion, all these poisonous scorpions were killed.
After being attacked by the poisonous scorpion, Xiao Hei's body turned green and entered a poisoned state that lasted 10 seconds, and his movement speed was reduced by 15%.
Fortunately, these toxins cannot be superimposed. After Su Ming picked up the items exploded by the poisonous scorpion, Xiao Hei returned to normal.
Scorpions explode two types of things, one is copper coins, and the other is some materials on them.
Scorpion armor, scorpion tail, scorpion pincers and the like.
In the spirit of taking nothing for nothing, Su Ming put all these garbage materials into his backpack.
Su Ming has the habit of picking up "garbage". Even though he knows that these things are probably useless, if there is space in his backpack, he wants to pick them all up...
After eliminating the mobs, Su Ming fixed the small map to his side and moved forward in the sea of sand.
The endless sand and the repetitive scenery. Without the assistance of the system map, Su Ming really didn't know where to go.
As the sun rose and the moon set, Su Ming walked forward for a day in the desert without knowing it.
Originally, Su Ming wanted to go around the monsters, but in this area, the monsters were all hidden under the sand, making it impossible to get around them and unable to move forward at full speed, so Su Ming called Zaemon out to gain experience.
In fact, the potion is enough to drink, but I didn't plan to kill monsters before, so I didn't want to waste it.
Su Ming was very satisfied with the density of monsters in the desert and spent a whole day walking around.
Previously, after Su Ming had a celebration banquet, he talked to Butterfly Whisper and they struck while the iron was hot, clearing four heroic difficulty dungeons in a row and almost reaching full experience. However, it is a pity that although the "
"Magic Wand", but it is not as good as Su Ming's paintbrush, so in terms of equipment, it has not been improved much.
Now I have been killing monsters for a day, and my experience has successfully exceeded level 25, rising to 10% of level 26.
After swiping so many monsters, Su Ming's backpack contained more than a dozen slots of similar materials.
"I hope there are tasks related to these poisonous insect materials in the city." Su Ming thought.
Su Ming climbed onto a sand dune and was about to run down quickly. When he saw a group of people in front of him, Su Ming lay down on the sand and observed carefully.
A thin man wearing a vest and with his arms exposed led a camel, and was surrounded by four bandits whose heads were covered in cloth, with only one pair of eyes exposed, and holding machetes in their hands.
"It's a sand bandit..." Su Ming also encountered a sand bandit when he was walking in the desert yesterday.
They are also considered a type of monster. They are infected by demonic energy, but still retain some sense. They will rob passing players and NPCs. They are the most common elite monsters in the Esperne area.
On the forum, some players take advantage of their characteristics and wait for them to rob the NPC before taking action against them. This way, they have a high probability of obtaining the property of the robbed NPC.
But Su Ming obviously wouldn't do this.
The four sand thieves were not difficult to deal with. Su Ming saw the situation clearly and rushed down immediately.
Xiao Hei took the lead, and his round body had an advantage when going downhill - he rolled very fast.
Seeing that it was almost in position, it launched a charged ejection.
With a sudden click, Xiao Hei jumped up high, blocking the sun, and landed among the sand bandits.
"What?"
"Slime?"
"kill!"
Sand bandits don't care about anything, they just chop down anything they see.
Xiao Hei exploded the mucus, held back their hatred, and bounced towards Su Ming.
After Su Ming arrived, the three pets joined forces with him, four against four, and the battle was easily resolved.
A level 28 bronze scimitar fell on the ground. Su Ming walked over and picked it up.
According to feedback from players on the forum, the probability of Sand Bandits exploding bronze equipment is quite high. Also because of the high explosion rate, many times players will go to Sand Bandits instead of looking for players, and no one knows who the real robber is.
…
The thin man who was surrounded by sand thieves before came over and said gratefully:
"Thank you so much for your generous help. My name is 'Papi' and I am a scavenger."
Su Ming knew about scavengers. They were a special type of NPC in the Esperne area, a bit like wandering merchants.
This type of NPC will specifically look for ruins of ancient cities buried by the sea of sand, looking for things that can be exchanged for survival materials, so they call themselves scavengers.
"Hello, I am a listener." Su Ming asked curiously, "You are a scavenger, why are you alone?"
Scavengers always move in groups, ranging from a dozen to dozens of people.
Paibi touched the camel next to him and said with a wry smile:
"It wasn't because of him that he was disturbed by the wolves and separated from the team. I had no choice but to look for him. Unexpectedly, he was robbed by sand thieves. Fortunately, you came to help, otherwise I would never be able to return to the team."
"Are you going back now?" Su Ming asked.
Pappy smiled and nodded.
"Is your team going to the ancient ruins city, or is it going to the city to buy and sell daily necessities?" Su Ming asked again.
"We have just finished exploring the ruins of the ancient city, and are planning to go to Hierro City, which is the closest to here, to rest for a while," Paibi said.
"That's great, can you take me with you? I also want to go to Hierro City."
Scavengers have mounts and can move faster in the desert. Su Ming wants to take a ride.
Pappy smiled and said:
"Of course, you are my savior. My team is heading west. Please get on the camel. I want to catch up with them as soon as possible!"
