The Snowy Holy Mastiff carried the little white dragon on its back and fled in panic beside Tang Lie. The fierce and ferocious dog was trembling with fear when it saw the terrifying sight in front of it.
Looking at the approaching swarm of sandworms, Tang Lie's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Such countless sandworms could not be stopped by human power.
Pu Gang said loudly: "Master, if this continues, I'm afraid we will all be trapped by sandworms. You go first, and I will lead the brothers to break up the rear." He had already determined to die and planned to use his life to repay Tang Lie for saving his life. Grace.
Tang Lie said resolutely: "If we want to go together, no one can stay." In the current situation, even if Pu Gang led the half-elf warriors to break up the rear, it would not have any effect.
Xuan'er reined in the white camel and said, "You go, I'll deal with these sandworms."
The white wings slowly unfolded, and Xuan'er's beautiful blue eyes showed a determined light. Tang Lie said loudly: "Xuan'er, you must be careful,"
Xuan'er smiled, and her delicate body rose vertically into the sky, drawing a silver track in the black night sky.
Tang Lie knew that Xuan'er had the ability to control birds, and must have wanted to use the power of birds to deal with the countless sandworms. He issued an order: "Throw away unnecessary goods and white camels, how fast can you run?" Just run a lot,”
Ya Yi'an watched with a grimace as the half-elf warrior dropped the merchandise on his hunchback, and wailed heartbrokenly: "No..." But comparing money and life, the latter was obviously more important.
Xuan'er's delicate body quickly rotated and rose in the sky, and the delicate sound waves were sent far away in the night sky. A ray of golden light in the distant sky moved towards Xuan'er's position like lightning, one, two, three , in just five minutes, thousands of birds with golden feathers and long beaks have gathered around Xuan'er's delicate body. This kind of bird is called a long-beaked eagle. It lives in the desert and is the natural enemy of sandworms. .
At this time, the insect wave formed by the sandworms was less than fifty meters away from the rear end of the camel team. The sprayed sand mist dispersed in the wind, greatly affecting Tang Lie's vision.
Accompanied by Xuan'er's scream, thousands of long-beaked eagles swooped down from the sky. The golden light flashed in the sandstorm about ten meters long. The long-beaked eagles used their hard beaks to quickly peck at the sand. There are sandworms on the surface. In nature, there is a rule that one thing should be suppressed. The appearance of the long-beaked eagle suddenly caused chaos in the sandworm camp, and the sandworms began to retreat back like a tide.
The surface of the yellow sand where the sandworms crawled was covered with a layer of silver mucus. The calm yellow sand did not last long. The yellow sand separated to both sides like waves, and a centipede that was twenty meters long appeared. Insects emerge from the yellow sand.
The monster insect's entire body was a golden color, and as soon as it emerged from the sand, its huge head flexibly poked out, opening its mouth to swallow three long-beaked eagles that were unable to dodge.
Seeing the bird's miserable fate, Xuan'er was filled with anger. She swooped down from the sky toward the giant monster insect, flapped her wings, and shot nine white arrows in mid-air.
The giant strange insect suddenly raised its head and sprayed out a cloud of yellow dust mist. The arrows were immediately scattered by the strong impact of the sand, and deviated from the original direction and fell on the sand surface.
The sand and dust mist was like a violent blast blowing at high speed. The range reached a height of fifty meters, sweeping Xuan'er in mid-air into the yellow sand. Her delicate body was thrown upwards with the sand and dust. Under the powerful impact, he passed out and lost his balance, falling like a meteor towards the desert below.
Tang Lie had been paying attention to Xuan'er's condition. When he saw Xuan'er was in danger, he shouted loudly: "Ya Yi'an, you take them to continue to escape, and I will save Xuan'er." He turned around and turned the direction of the white camel on his crotch. He rushed towards the place where Xuan'er fell at full speed.
Ya Yi'an wanted to stop him, but knew that it was useless to speak out, so she could only watch Tang Lie rush into danger.
The Pu Gang and Puni brothers wanted to catch up, but the guide Duze said coldly: "Do you want to go and die? The more people there, the less chance there will be. Instead, they will attract all the sandworms."
"But we can't just watch our master die," Pu Gang roared loudly. He and Puni turned around and chased after Tang Lie.
The white camel traveled about a hundred meters away from the giant monster insect and suddenly stopped. No matter how Tang Lie drove it, it was unwilling to move forward even half a step.
Tang Lie said angrily: "Useless beast," he took off the dragon-slaying knife with his backhand and jumped off the hunchback. The giant monster insect's hundreds of claws moved at the same time, blocking Tang Lie's path forward. The huge head Hanging down, sucking in a large amount of yellow sand, aim at Tang Lie and spray it out at high speed.
A high-speed sand pillar shot down on Tang Lie's body. After the high-pressure spray from the centipede monster, the yellow sand had turned into a deadly weapon.
Tang Lie did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so he used the defensive method in Mozi's swordsmanship to form an invisible shield in front of his body with the dragon-slaying knife to block the sand pillar's shooting.
The sand pillars hit the sword and shield with a huge impact. Tang Lie's body slid backwards because he could not bear the huge force. His feet dragged two deep marks on the sand and fell backwards. It was about twenty meters before I regained my footing.
Although the giant monster insect's body was bloated and huge, it moved extremely flexibly. In an instant, it had squirmed in front of Tang Lie. Its upper body stood up from the ground, reaching a height of about seven meters. Its entire head suddenly opened, revealing a He opened his cross-shaped bloody mouth and bit Tang Lie from a high place, trying to swallow Tang Lie's body whole.
Tang Lie raised the dragon-slaying knife and stirred it in a spiral above his head. As soon as the monster's muzzle came close to the blade, a deep mark was cut by the unstoppable blade. Fortunately, it retracted its head quickly, otherwise it would have been chopped into pieces by Tang Lie. Two halves.
Brothers Pu Gang and Puni had already rushed behind Tang Lie. Tang Lie said loudly: "I will deal with this strange insect, and you go and save Xuan'er."
The two of them looked around and saw that the place where Xuan'er landed was completely surrounded by sandworms. A group of long-beaked eagles were guarding Xuan'er, fighting hard against countless sandworms, trying to break through the sandworms. It was impossible to rescue Xuan'er in the encirclement, and their appearance immediately attracted the attention of the sandworms. Many sandworms began to surround them. Tang Lie saw the danger the two faced and shouted: "Leave. Here, don’t throw away your life in vain,”
Puni bit his lower lip hard. Although he was unwilling to leave his master to fight alone, it would not help them even if they reluctantly stayed. They had no choice but to pull Pugang's sleeves and return to the team before the sandworms could get closer. among.
Although Tang Lie hit the giant monster insect's huge body many times, it did not cause fatal damage to it. The monster insect was quite cunning. Knowing that the dragon-slaying knife in Tang Lie's hand was very sharp, it began to deliberately dodge Tang Lie's blade, and Tang Lie kept a certain distance and used the yellow sand ejected at high speed to attack Tang Lie from a distance.
Although Tang Lie used the defensive method of Mozi's swordsmanship to effectively block the sand pillars sprayed by the giant insects, the situation was not optimistic, as countless sandworms began to gather at his feet.
Tang Lie roared angrily, feinted with his knife, and took advantage of the giant monster insect's unpreparedness to rush towards it at full speed. Powerful energy ran through his body, forming an invisible energy shield around his body. A sandworm had already crawled to Tang Lie. Lie's left foot and sharp head tried to turn into Tang Lie's sole, but the first thing it encountered was the invisible armor formed by Tang Lie's energy. No matter how hard it tried, it could not break through this invisible protective shield.
Tang Lie raised his foot and crushed the sandworm into the sand. The tiger's body had already rushed to the side of the giant monster insect. The dragon-slaying knife ignited a blue flame about five meters long and penetrated deeply into the abdomen of the giant monster insect.
The monster worm's bloated body trembled violently due to pain. Tang Lie firmly held the dragon-slaying knife and continued to penetrate deeper. Except for a small part of the giant monster's body, it was dragged on the ground. The tiger's body was brought into the air eight meters high. It opened its bloody mouth to the maximum and bit Tang Lie fiercely. Tang Lie held the handle of the knife with one arm and rotated his body in mid-air, sticking tightly to the giant tiger. In the abdomen of the worm, energy was poured into the blade along the blade, and expanded rapidly inside the giant worm's body. It was like a bomb exploding inside the giant worm's body, with blue plasma and disgusting yellow fat splashing everywhere.
The huge body of the giant insect split into two parts, and its head suddenly fell on the desert, creating a huge deep pit in the sand. The lower body was still squirming, as if unwilling to lose its life, Tang Lieju He raised his dragon-slaying knife and stabbed the giant insect's head twice more. Convinced that it was dead, he quickly rushed towards Xuan'er, who was surrounded by sandworms.
As soon as the giant insect died, the thousands of sandworms suddenly became confused and fled into the distance like a tide. They really came and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, the desert returned to its initial calm, except for the one that was still squirming. The body of the giant worm was gone, and only the silver slime that could be seen everywhere on the ground proved the sinister scene just now.
The dead long-beaked eagles had been devoured by sandworms, leaving only more than fifty long-beaked eagles loyally guarding Xuan'er. Tang Lie drove the birds away, picked up Xuan'er's delicate body, and saw that she was still close to her. I closed my eyes, but my breathing and heartbeat were in a normal state. I thought I was just knocked unconscious by the high-speed yellow sand, and I would be fine when I woke up.
Seeing that Tang Lie successfully rescued Xuan'er, Ya Yi'an and the group of half-elf warriors cheered and ran towards Tang Lie.
The guide Du Ze looked at Tang Lie with reverence. He pointed to the corpse of the giant insect not far away and said: "Boss Tang, the giant insect you killed is called Ban Zhe. It is the most ferocious and cruel creature in the desert. It has the command of sand." The power of insects,”
Ya Yi'an's eyes flashed and he said, "This bug is Ban Zhe." He quickly came to Ban Zhe's body, rolled up his sleeves, and inserted his right arm through the wound on Ban Zhe's head, groping for a long time. , said in surprise: "Here it is," when he pulled out his arm, there was already a red pearl the size of a duck egg in the palm of his hand.
Duze said: "The Fire Cloud Bead has the power to drive away sandworms. With it by our side, we no longer have to worry about sandworms attacking,"
Ya Yi'an played with the Fire Cloud Bead with great joy, and Pu Gang leaned over curiously: "This bead is so beautiful."
Ya Yi'an said proudly: "If it weren't for my profound knowledge, I would have almost missed this treasure," as if he had made the greatest contribution and did not mention Tang Lie's killing of Ban Zhe.
Puni said angrily: "If the master hadn't killed Ban Zhe, how could you have obtained the Fire Cloud Pearl? Speaking of which, the Fire Cloud Pearl should belong to the master,"
Ya Yi An was afraid that the Fire Cloud Pearl would be snatched away by Tang Lie, so she held it firmly in her hand: "What I found is naturally mine."
Tang Lie was too lazy to argue with him and said with a smile: "Hurry up and pack your bags, let's leave this place."
After reorganizing the team, the camel team moved forward slowly under the moonlight and desert. The copper bell on the white camel's neck made a clear and clear sound rhythmically, and was sent out melodiously in the night wind.
Xuan'er's long black eyelashes trembled slightly: "Master... leave quickly..." Even in the nightmare, she was still concerned about Tang Lie's safety. Tang Lie felt a warmth in his heart. Xuan'er treated her feelings so sincerely and innocently. , the willingness to sacrifice one's life for one's own sake has long transcended the concept of master and servant.
Xuan'er woke up leisurely and found herself lying in Tang Lie's arms. Two red clouds suddenly appeared on her pretty face, and she said shyly: "Master, I have nothing to do..." Tang Lie didn't mean to let her go. She said in a voice: "You have worked so hard, just lie in my arms and have a good sleep." Overflowing in her heart.
The team in front suddenly stopped marching, and the guide Duze shouted a warning.
Tang Lie urged the white camel under his crotch to quickly advance to the front of the team. It was already close to dawn, and the sky in the distance showed a trace of blue-grey. It wouldn't be long before the scorching sun would shine on this boundless desert again. superior.
Small black dots on the distant horizon were slowly moving in their direction. Tang Lie immediately recognized that they were a team arranged horizontally. His sharp eyes flickered and he whispered: "Who are they?"
"Sand pirates," Du Ze's voice contained deep fear, and he trembled: "It's impossible... The route we chose far bypasses the territory where sand pirates often operate... But..."
Tang Lie said coldly: "The entire desert is their territory." He made a rough estimate and found that the number of these sand bandits was about three hundred. It seemed that a desperate fight was inevitable.
Ya Yi'an sighed: "I'm really unlucky. I encountered sand bandits twice when I passed by here."
Tang Lie smiled and said: "You finally have some self-awareness and know that you are the one who caused us trouble."
Tang Lie put Xuan'er on a white camel next to him and said loudly: "Brothers, be ready to fight at any time."
