In the vast desert with long yellow sand, a long black dragon-like caravan is slowly marching on the sand dunes. At the tail of this giant caravan, a local battle is going on fiercely.
One side of the battle was composed of hundreds of caravan guards and dozens of professionals, and the other side was a mixed group of about three to four hundred sand hoppers and bandit sandwolves.
Bandit sand wolf is a kind of monster that is not in the game. These things were originally just ordinary wild animals in the desert. After being corrupted by the energy of hell, they became a kind of hell monster. They were pulled into hell, leaving only the projection.
Appear in the desert.
The appearance of this monster has not changed much compared to before it was corrupted by the energy of hell, except that its size has become much larger, and dense blood-red hair has grown on its back.
But their habits are many times more cruel and cunning than before.
Even if they are just projections, these insidious guys seem to instinctively understand what it means to bully the weak.
Many small caravans that were doing business for the first time were killed by these guys.
And this is also the origin of their name.
But this time, they obviously picked the wrong opponent.
The caravan's guards and professionals stood on the caravan very easily to defend against the attacks of the jumpers and hyenas, and they did not even have the intention to let the caravan stop.
Skills such as rockets, ice arrows, ice storms, and fireballs would fly out of the caravan from time to time and hit the following monster groups, clearing a small gap.
Melee professions such as Paladins and Barbarians stood on the roof of the caravan with their shields raised, and easily knocked down the Sand Jumpers who tried to jump up.
The caravan guards stood on another modified armored caravan, using the characteristics of long weapons to continuously kill the hyenas that wanted to speed up and surround them.
However, the most eye-catching thing in the entire defensive front is the pair of Rogge mercenary sisters who look exactly the same.
To say that they are eye-catching refers not only to their appearance, but also to their astonishing efficiency in killing monsters with one arrow and their average level of only 10.
The weapons they held in their hands made all Amazons and even some assassins and barbarians fall into a state of envy, jealousy and hatred, unable to extricate themselves.
Arctic horn, short giant war bow, green suit.
Eye of courage, short bow, dark gold equipment.
It's hard to imagine that this is equipment used by two mercenaries.
At a time when all professionals are unable to acquire a dark gold weapon, two mercenary girls under twenty years old have actually acquired green and dark gold weapons!
How does this make them, a group of professionals who usually call themselves elites, embarrassed?
However, despite being envious, no one had any bad thoughts towards these two girls.
There are two reasons. The first is that the two little girls are very popular, well-behaved and sensible, and their younger sister is a good cook. All the professionals here have received more or less favors from them during their working together.
Naturally, it is not easy to repay kindness with enmity.
The second reason is that no one dares.
Because the owner of these two little girls was the one who almost single-handedly rewrote the outcome of the entire battle in the Stone Wilderness. Moreover, he captured the culprit of the legendary "Black Sand Storm" not long after entering the desert.
legendary figure.
——Xue Hua.
According to rumors, Master Xue has an army of summoned objects that number in the tens of thousands and are extremely powerful in combat.
And Master Xue himself has amazing fighting ability.
At the last moment of the battle in the Stone Wilderness, two mutated "bone spears (ahhahahahaha~)" turned the tide of the entire battle.
Although no one knows how Xue Hua, who was less than level 12 at the time, used the Necromancer's level 18 skill "Bone Spear", but that's not important!
A philosopher once taught us not to care about the details!
Therefore, these two points alone can make everyone suppress the greedy thoughts that have just arisen in their hearts and put 100,000 giant stone bricks on top.
Not to mention, Mr. Xue is in the caravan at the moment, and he is also the guest of Warev, the caravan leader.
Yes, this caravan is the large caravan that has just left the mysterious sand dune area and entered Warif, which separates the desert.
It has to be said that the mysterious sand dunes are indeed the most dangerous section of the entire trade route. The mystery and strangeness there can sometimes even make the insect swarm suffer a loss.
They once encountered "ant dunes" that looked exactly like sand. These strange ants did not have any psionic disturbance or even biological fluctuations in their stationary state, but if you dare to step on them...
Haha~
Let's put it this way, this is the first time that Xue Hua's insect swarm has suffered such a big loss in the "burrowing movement" method.
More than 600 cockroaches, just because they were helping the caravan find their way underground, ran into the sand dunes piled up by these ants. As a result, they were chewed into a pile of bones in less than a minute.
Fortunately, Xue Hua's mutation skills played a huge role at this time. By continuously absorbing the psychic energy from the infected and toadstools, he successfully revived most of the cockroaches, minimizing the heavy losses this time.
To a small extent.
However, once this ant's ambush method is discovered, there is no threat. They are very fragile, move slowly, and have a huge weakness of being afraid of acid and water.
The saboteurs combined with a volley of fire from the Amazons and ice mages cleared the way for the caravan.
Of course, these ants are also their own selves, and their genes have been extracted by the insect mothers and entered into the gene pool of the insect swarm, waiting for Abathur's research and use.
In addition, there are many more bizarre and extraordinary life forms that appear in the mysterious sand dunes, and the area they pass by is only at the edge.
According to Warev, the further you go into the middle of those mesas, the more weird things will appear, and no one even knows what they are.
There were even legendary professionals who came before, but they only managed to explore the sub-central area and had to flee.
According to what he said, when he was passing by a strange giant green platform, the entire platform stood up and stretched out a "slap" made of green mist, sending him flying thousands of meters away.
.....
These legends made Xue Hua look forward to what Dehaka could gain even more.
But at the same time, he also had more concerns about the safety of exploring the insect swarm.
However, there was no use worrying at this time. He could only be thankful that he left the two thunder beasts to them.
With these two big guys around, at least in the outer fringes, there should be no problem with the insect swarm.
And based on Dehaka's experience as the leader of the primitive insect swarm tribe for such a long time, I believe that it would not just bring the insect swarm into the central area of the sand dunes to seek death.
"Hey~Xue, it's almost lunch time, where is Miss Funia?"
Just when Xue Hua was thinking about exploring the situation of the insect swarm and feeling a little worried, Warev suddenly opened the curtain from the roof of the caravan and jumped in.
"Shit! Brother! Can you be normal every time? Walk from below instead of from above?"
"There's nothing I can do~ The caravan is still on the move now. I don't want to chase after the caravan and my boots will be filled with sand..."
"You know the caravan is moving? Then you come here to eat and drink? Where is the space to cook here?"
Xue Hua rolled his eyes. In the past few days, this guy had become familiar with him, and he had long lost the awe he had before. Xue Hua himself was not a difficult person to get along with, and the two of them became friends after going back and forth.
But it wasn't until they became friends that Xue Hua discovered with horror that this guy who looked like a big businessman in front of him was actually so shameless in private~!
Not only did he come to their caravan to eat and drink every day, he even pestered Xue Hua to want to ride a cockroach...
However, despite being shameless, this Hundan man is actually quite good. Not only does he take good care of Xue Hua and others in daily life, he even arranges for the caravan guards to take two girls with them in the past few days.
The monsters that are attacking in small groups practice their skills.
It was only through such "power training" that the levels of the two young mercenaries were quickly raised to around level 10 in the past few days.
