Chapter 040 Stick to the fire and walk in the light
The Kingdom of Sharo is world-famous for its deserts and historic pyramids. Most of the card masters there are followers of Ra, the Lord of the Sun and the Underworld.
The same is true for Menkaure. He strictly demands himself according to the teaching of "Stick to the fire and walk in the light".
Together with the ace "Granite Giant", he served as a sentinel of Sharo, responsible for guarding the desert and warning against monsters.
The desert is the most dangerous area in the Sharo Kingdom. It is said that card masters who are dragged into the quicksand and die will become "dead souls" wandering in the desert and unable to go to the underworld.
The sentinels must always hold on to the fire in their hearts in order to stay awake amidst the shrill, wailing wind in the desert at night.
In this environment, Menkara used his purple card 'Granite Giant' to hone himself into a fifth-level master level card master.
He is not an anchor, but he will use virtual reality technology for training and entertainment during his shifts and breaks.
"Epee Man is the anchor ID of Epee Wufeng."
Menkaure took off his appearance, revealing his bronze face, his eyes were indifferent, and he looked at his teammate Beowulf:
"He just broke Roman Ulysses' training room record."
The warning is self-evident.
"Humph, the name has already hit my ears like thunder."
Beowulf was a two-meter-tall wild man, wearing leather armor with half exposed abdominal muscles, holding a golden axe, with a ferocious human face engraved between the double blades of the ax handle. He shouldered the axe, and said sideways:
"Saluo, just don't hold me back."
Menkara put on his hood again and said: "Do it your way, I will assist you... Remember, attack the heavy swordsman first."
"I got it, three seconds countdown, let's have a big fight!"
The moment the countdown reached zero, under the gaze of tens of thousands of live broadcast room viewers, the four beams of light disappeared.
The next moment, the heavy sword man and the unparalleled admiral were teleported to a random map: the desert.
[Site Card·Dead Desert: The depths of the uninhabited desert, the sun is scorching high, poisonous scorpions and pythons are rampant, and quicksand is undercurrent.]
[Effect: As day and night overlap in the desert, the gain effects of elements will also change;
Dangerous quicksand will cause a 'binding' state to random units, which will enter a 'death' state if they cannot break free.】
The audience was in an uproar.
“It’s such a difficult venue again?!”
"This venue card is very difficult to draw. I really don't know if the anchor is lucky or not!"
Compared with the 'Thunder Plains' where Lao Wen faced off last time, the environment of the 'Dead Desert' this time was even more harsh.
The desert may seem calm, but sometimes there are sandstorms, sometimes you are stung by poisonous scorpions, and sometimes you fall into quicksand if you are not careful.
The duel of this terrain card is very difficult, testing not only the skills of both card masters, but also the tactical choices and psychological quality.
The heavy swordsman is strong, but with weak teammates, he is in the "dead desert" full of dangers...
The audience couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for him.
Lin Xiao looked up at the almost real and sinister sun above his head, and then looked forward.
The high temperature evaporates and distorts the air. There are two sand dunes in the endless desert, with a plain in the middle. On the top of the dunes in front are two figures and a towering granite statue.
Zhen Decai glanced at the silent epee man and said tentatively: "Brother, this picture is difficult. How about I go ahead and explore the way for you?"
"It's hard to get back, and the target to defeat is very certain."
The man with the epee thrust his sword into the sand, looked at the sand dunes in front, and said in a dull voice, "You and I, let's lean over together."
"You have more experience...you go ahead." The epee man added.
"Okay!" Zhen Decai shouldered a mountain-breaking axe, wore a general's armor and an iron helmet with two horns, and looked as cool as "The king asked me to patrol the mountain."
Dish is a dish, but being able to hold your thighs firmly while cooking is also a kind of strength!
His water friends couldn't help but sigh.
"The man with the heavy sword is right. The general's death experience is indeed very rich."
"My character is still good. I didn't let the general directly exchange his life for information. I can provide timely support by following behind."
Another sand dune.
Beowulf patted his back with the big axe, looked at the two figures walking in the wind and sand on the plain, and grinned:
"Huh, you didn't run away, but came towards us together?"
"Hey, Salo!" Beowulf turned and shouted, "You have lived in the desert for a long time, so I won't fight with you anymore, and I will give you the command!"
Menkaure glanced at this reckless man, nodded and said:
"No problem. In short, the desert looks flat, but in fact it is extremely complicated. There are quicksands in front of them and behind them on the left and right. There is also a nest of poisonous things at four o'clock, which should be scorpions. They can walk nearly half of the distance, which is already
Goddess of Luck’s blessing.”
Crossing half the distance means crossing the "half-court", which is a very dangerous signal in the battle between card-carrying divisions.
Beowulf calmly appeared armed, and blue light particles poured out of the ax in his hand, covering his body, forming a heavy golden full-body armor.
He was carrying a short-handled axe, wearing a ferocious golden helmet on his face, and asked dull questions:
"Just watch them come over like this?"
"No."
Menkara said coldly:
"Since they can't step on quicksand, then give them a little 'help'."
Boom!!
The granite giant next to Menkaure started to ‘buzz’.
This stone statue is made entirely of granite, with metal connections between the limbs and torso. The face is engraved with mysterious card patterns, and the stone statue's eyes shine with red light.
Boom, boom, boom, the sand vibrated upward rhythmically.
The granite giant left a row of deep footprints and walked down the top of the sand dune in front of him with a mechanical and oppressive pace.
"It, it's coming this way!" Zhen De swallowed and turned to ask for help, "This is Zika, a fifth-level Zika!"
"Is the fifth-level purple card very strong?" Lin Xiao took the time to ask.
"It's not that strong or not, it's that kind. It's rare... Wow, it jumped over!"
As the epee man's perspective was raised, the audience saw a shocking scene.
The huge granite giant jumped up from the ground and jumped to a height higher than the epee man. His back blocked the sky and the sun, and he stepped down hard with his two granite feet!
Lin Xiao's eyes flashed slightly, his back arched, and a cluster of black flames ignited in the palm of his hand holding the sword.
"Boss, be careful!"
At the critical moment, Zhen De pushed Lin Xiao away and threw himself to the side.
Boom!!
Centered on the landing point of the granite giant, ten feet of sand was thrown up and hit the backs of the two people facing the ground with a crackling sound.
"Why are you pushing me?" Lin Xiao accidentally stood up with his sword in hand and asked.
This is like a game of LOL. I, the Sword Demon, activated his ‘Great Destruction’ and was about to go up and slash, but your little cannon pushed people away with a big move?
Zhen Decai was lying on the flying sand, facing this way, with a hint of sincere guilt and flattery in her smile:
"I'm not afraid that if you fall down, there will be no one here."
The live broadcast room was full of laughter and laughter.
"I'm so happy, it has a show effect!"
“Others’ assistance: command, control, and rhythm all in one go.?(`?′)?
My assistant: Wuwuwu, I pushed the opponent away just to save you. (?ω?)”
With no time to interact with the barrage, the granite giant's heavy punch came down with a whoosh, and Lin Xiao raised his sword to block it.
clang!
Sliding backwards, it stirred up two rows of flying sand, but he also lost his strength and adjusted his fighting posture. He gripped the sword tightly and looked directly at the tall stone statue.
‘The granite giant’s ‘Hammer’ combat skill was completely blocked?’
Menkara stood on the top of the mountain and observed, a little surprised, and frowned slightly.
Fortunately, another tactic was achieved. The 'Wushuang Admiral' entered the quicksand area during the collision just now. Due to his strength, he was unable to escape from the quicksand and was forced to wait for death.
The man with the heavy sword is the best rescuer, so he will definitely be helpless.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t rescue, let him watch his teammates being swallowed by quicksand, while facing the attack of the granite giant and the ‘Golden Crazy Axe’ at the same time!
A flash of painful memories flashed across Menkaala's eyes, and they disappeared in an instant, and he said calmly:
"Golden Crazy Axe, it's your turn to take action."
"Come on and perform!"
Beowulf made a series of strange cries, was fully armed with gold, and holding a big ax in his hand, he ran down the hill.
"Sneak attack!"
Beowulf held the handle of the ax with both hands and made a powerful and heavy leaping chop, slashing from behind towards the man with the heavy sword who was attacking the granite giant.
Adamantite axe, level 3 combat skill, guillotine.
"Effect: Jumping chop causes damage, has a very low probability of triggering the 'decapitation' state, and kills instantly with one hit. The jumping chop process will be interrupted."
The man with the heavy sword swung his sword in a circle, and the edgeless heavy sword clanked like a door panel and swatted Beowulf flying in the air.
Beowulf rolled twice in a row and buried his face in the sand. He lifted it up and shook his face, baring his teeth and saying:
"Sneak attack failed."
At the same moment, Zhen Decai tried to pick up the pear flower axe, but was horrified to find that his feet were entangled in quicksand.
The more you struggle, the faster you sink! You can only watch your teammates being attacked from both sides, but you can't even break free from the quicksand!
Only then did Zhen De realize that the epee man glanced this way and paused for a moment.
