With the lessons learned before, how dare Alice and others fall behind? They quickly followed behind Fenggeng and Chu Yan with their own equipment. Even the footsteps and footprints were exactly the same.
They don't want to fall into quicksand and die here.
But at the same time, the task still needs to be completed, so following the footsteps of Queen Bee and Chu Yan is the only option. Otherwise, who knows whether he will be buried in quicksand in the next second.
The queen bee was in front, and Chu Yan was behind. The two of them stopped and walked through the desert caused by a sandstorm.
Alice doesn't know what method the queen bee uses to determine where is quicksand and where is ordinary sand. However, she knows one thing very well. If you follow the queen bee closely, you don't need to worry about quicksand. As long as you don't
Off course, the biggest threat here is actually the smallest threat.
Because so far, not one of Alice's men has died in the quicksand, but the mortality rate in other incidents is extremely high.
"hiss!"
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the crowd. The Queen Bee immediately turned around and looked at the mercenary in the third-to-last position. He had just pulled a blue scorpion from his neck, and
Trampled to death.
When the queen bee saw this, she immediately shook her head, sighed and continued moving forward. However, while moving forward, she glanced at the watch on Chu Yan's wrist, and then whispered in Chu Yan's ear: "Five minutes.
"
Chu Yan didn't know what these five minutes meant, and Queen Bee didn't bother to explain. She just accelerated her pace and walked towards a towering sand beam in the distance.
Behind him, the mercenary who was stung by a scorpion on his neck soon turned pale, his steps faltered, and he fell to the ground before the people behind him could react.
"Man! What's wrong with you?"
The mercenary behind him hurriedly stepped forward to ask, but the mercenary's complexion turned from pale to ashen, and black blood continued to flow from the corner of his mouth.
Alice heard the movement behind her, stopped and asked, "What happened? Why don't you follow up faster?"
"Miss Alice, Reed was stung by a scorpion, and it looks like he was seriously poisoned!" The mercenary captain answered Alice's question, and Alice couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
She was just about to say something when the sand suddenly moved next to the fallen mercenary, and then a blue scorpion emerged, followed closely by the second and third one!!
"Scorpion!!"
The mercenary captain wanted to do something, but was unable to do anything. In an instant, dozens of scorpions had broken out of the sand, occupying the dead body, and made a frightening sound of tearing skin and flesh!
"Get out of there!!"
The queen bee's voice suddenly sounded, and Alice and the others subconsciously stepped back. However, the dozens of scorpions opened their teeth and claws and challenged Alice and the others to fight.
Just when Alice and others were about to shoot and kill these damn scorpions, the sand suddenly started to move next to the dead body. Soon, under the gaze of Alice and others, the corpse slowly began to move.
Slowly sliding into the quicksand, along with those blue scorpions, they disappeared without a trace.
The edge of the quicksand was no more than thirty centimeters away from Alice and others.
The queen bee had returned to Alice at this time, looking at the gradually disappearing body and the sand that had returned to calm, with a cold look on her face: "Miss Alice, there is something I need to ask clearly. Among you,
Has anyone ever provoked the Death Scorpion?"
The so-called death scorpion refers to the kind of scorpion that is completely blue and has a length of more than fifteen centimeters when stretched out. It is the scorpion that Alice trampled to death last night. It is the death scorpion.
The queen bee's words made Alice subconsciously think of the scorpion she stepped on, but she didn't care about the queen bee's inquiry because she didn't believe the mysterious stories told by the queen bee.
So she nodded and immediately admitted neatly: "If you are referring to the blue scorpion, I accidentally stepped on one to death last night."
The queen bee looked at Alice. She would not believe what she said about being accidentally trampled to death. However, since she did not want to tell the truth, the queen bee would not ask. After all, the fact had already happened.
There is no point in pursuing it any further.
The queen bee glanced at Alice, then shook her head and sighed softly: "I know you outsiders don't believe what I say, but I still want to make it clear to you that there are many things you can do in this desert.
It doesn't matter if you take the initiative to provoke it, whether it's a sand wolf or a poisonous snake. However, the Death Scorpion is the God of Death in the Devil's Castle and one of the patron saints. No matter what you do here, there will be no good results. So, in the next time
Here, you wish for yourselves to be blessed."
After the queen bee finished speaking, she turned and left without saying a word. Alice and Adam wanted to say something, but in the end they chose to give up.
They don't believe in the mysterious patron saint theory of the queen bee, it's just a scorpion, no big deal.
Adam was a little frightened by what the queen bee said. Even though he didn't say anything at first, after walking out for no more than ten minutes, he still reached out and took Alice's arm, and then stopped,
He whispered: "Alice, I always feel that that woman is a bit mysterious. Should we kill her? And then leave the man as a guide?"
Adam's words made Alice glare at him, then shook her head and said: "That man is just her guard. Didn't you realize that she was always leading the way in this desert?"
Alice could only helplessly shake her head at Adam's substandard situation, and then continued on her way.
This time, everyone did not wait too long. When everyone climbed onto the high sand beam in front of them, the queen bee's voice sounded faintly at this moment: "Welcome to Sand Lake."
In front of everyone, there is a golden sea of sand. The sea of sand is constantly moving without wind, like a huge lake made of sand. The waves on the lake are rough, not rolling, and occasionally there are white bones shining.
The sand sea is surrounded by a sand beam that is almost 360 degrees surrounded. The height is about the same as where the queen bee and others are standing, about fifty meters. The golden sand sea is surrounded by the sand beam.
Flowing freely within the ring.
Sand Lake is a lake made entirely of golden sand.
It truly lives up to its name, and underneath this beauty and splendor, there is a lot of chilling aura of death mixed in.
Alice looked at the sand lake in front of her and couldn't help but sigh: "It's such a big sand lake. It really deserves its name. Adam, prepare the instruments immediately and start detecting. In addition, sampling is a problem."
Seeing Alice starting to give instructions, the queen bee walked over from the side. She did not stop Alice from doing anything, but said hello to her: "Alice, this is Shahu.
After you complete your mission here, call us again. Remember, this is extremely dangerous. Don't try to get close to it, otherwise death will come."
After the queen bee finished speaking, she walked directly to the bottom of Sha Liang. Adam wanted to call out to the queen bee and others, but Alice did not give him a chance. She glared at him and ordered coldly: "Do it."
Good data record, there's probably something we want here."
Adam nodded, said nothing more, and turned around to help with the detection.
Alice looked at the distant figures of Queen Bee and Chu Yan and couldn't help but frown. From the Queen Bee's eyes, she saw their fear of Shahu Lake and their respect for the nature here.
Awe.
Alice only thought that Queen Bee and others were afraid of the danger of Shahu, so they stayed so far away, while Queen Bee and Chu Yan had worried faces.
Sand Lake, among Queen Bee's tribe, also has another name, called Julang Lake.
A lake made entirely of sand, with the title of Big Wave, may sound quite weird, but it also illustrates one thing, that is, there is something very strange and mysterious about this sand lake.
Although Alice cared about the queen bee's reminder, she would not listen because their detection results had come out. There was an unprecedented peak in the direction of the center of the lake. They had to find a way to go down a little bit and then try to see if they could
Take a little sample.
Just as a mercenary was sliding down with a rope tied to his body, a layer of waves suddenly appeared on the lake in the distance, and then the waves began to move quickly towards the mercenary like the tide of the Qiantang River.
swept over from the direction.
Moreover, the waves of sand continued to increase in size. Halfway through, a wave of sand with a height of two meters was already sweeping in.
"Be careful!! There is a monster!!" Adam's voice suddenly sounded, and the mercenary who had slid down more than thirty meters also raised his head and saw that the almost overwhelming sand wave was approaching!!
