After finishing the conversation with the protoss phase technician Keles, Xue Hua re-contacted Stukov who had been on standby.
He ordered the fleet commander to leave some insect mother and insect swarm ground troops to guard the protoss colony ship, and all other fleets immediately began to attack the location of the next beacon.
At the same time, he also asked him not to transport the things on the protoss colony ship back for the time being, but to leave them there first. If Keles finally agreed to cooperate with the swarm, then these things would obviously be more useful in his hands.
Great value.
After issuing the order to the fleet, Xue Hua quickly rushed back to the caravan in a cockroach. At this time, it happened to be the time when the caravan started a new day's journey.
After knowing the remaining distance between them and Lu Gaoyin last night, Xue Hua was no longer anxious and began to enjoy this rare leisure time.
The degree of danger that separates the desert and the mysterious sand dunes is not on the same order of magnitude. No one knows why those magical and strange creatures that can even resist the contamination and summons of the power of hell live in that mesa.
Anyway, since the caravan entered the Cutoff Desert, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the team have become obviously relaxed.
And facts have proved that in this vast and huge desert, there is really nothing that can threaten such a giant caravan.
Occasionally, the monsters that came in one or two waves were regarded by the professionals and guards as a good opportunity to make extra money, and all of them were wiped out.
In such a leisurely atmosphere, the caravan safely walked out of the partitioned desert and entered the gravel wasteland area.
However, unexpectedly, after leaving the no-man's land that separated the desert and entering the rubble wasteland under the jurisdiction of Lu Gaoyin, the caravan ran into trouble.
Those troubles come from the scavengers in the sky.
This is a giant bird monster that looks like a vulture.
It is said that before they were contaminated by the energy of hell, they were actually vultures that could be seen everywhere in the desert.
These originally hideous and ferocious giant birds not only became more difficult to provoke after being contaminated by the energy of hell, but even grew a pair of twisted and sharp hands and arms under their wings!
This monster can fly so high that only a small black dot can be seen on the ground.
At this height, only high-level professionals above level 50 or 60 have the ability to defeat them.
The rookies in the caravan who are level 12, 3, or 15 or 16 at most cannot reach them no matter what.
Moreover, this monster's attack method is also extremely disgusting, completely different from the stupid bird behavior in the game that falls in front of you.
They will swoop down from above your head when you are not paying attention, then use the pair of sharp claws on their chests to scratch you hard, and try to grab your shoulders and lift you high into the air.
Throwing it down.
The most disgusting thing is that it not only attacks people, but also attacks the beasts of burden of the caravan.
This was the first time Xue Hua saw a hell monster that dared to attack a beast of burden.
Generally speaking, with the huge size of beasts of burden and their brute force when angry, ordinary monster projections are simply not enough for them to step on.
But scavengers are aerial monsters, so even though the beasts of burden were scratched with wounds all over their bodies by these guys, they had no choice but to run around roaring in pain, trying to avoid their attacks.
However, it didn't matter that they ran away, the caravan's formation was immediately dispersed by them.
Warev had no choice but to order the caravan to stop moving forward, and asked all long-range attackers to stand on the roof of the caravan to defend themselves against the large vultures rushing down.
Then, he would run to Xue Hua's caravan and ask him to take action to kill those annoying scavengers.
It's not like Xue Hua didn't want to directly use the alien dragon to kill these disgusting things.
On the first day when the caravan was attacked by them, he sent the alien dragon to do this.
But what he didn't expect was that these ghost things were really cunning, and some of them didn't even look like projections of unintelligent monsters.
Whenever the alien dragons appear on the battlefield and start to slaughter them, these scavengers will scatter and flee, and Xue Hua will order the alien dragons to disperse and pursue them.
But once these strange birds realized that they could not escape the pursuit of the alien dragons, they simply stopped running and directly stopped on the spot, launching a suicidal attack on the alien dragons.
In this way, the attack of the scavenger group this time has been solved, but in less than two hours, another group of the same number of scavengers will appear again in the sky above the caravan, continuing their "ancestors"
"Unfinished business".
Xue Hua dispatched the alien dragons dozens of times in just two days after entering the rubble wasteland, so much so that he later simply let the alien dragons patrol the air above the caravan.
But when the alien dragons patrolled the airspace of the caravan, those disgusting things no longer came from high altitude. Instead, they flew over the sand at low altitude, then landed outside the caravan, walked over on two feet, and came from the land.
Attack the caravan.
And because no one could have imagined that these monster projections would suddenly follow them, all the guards were on the roof of the car at that time. It was not until the scavengers rushed into the center of the camp that the night watchmen by the campfire discovered them.
traces.
This harassment tactic simply annoyed Xue Hua, Warev and others, but since they couldn't find where their nest was, they couldn't catch them all.
"Warev, haven't you encountered this situation before?"
Xue Hua watched the hydralisks around him shoot out overwhelming thorn needles and sieve more than a dozen scavengers in the sky. Then he lowered his head, rubbed his swollen temples, and looked at the man standing in the car with a headache expression.
Warev on top.
"I've encountered it before... Every time, everyone can only shrink into the caravan, and then let the beast of burden drivers drive with all their strength... Moreover, every time, there will be crazy beasts of burden rushing forward with the goods of the slow train.
Into the desert..."
Warev raised his head, squinting at the blue sky, observing whether there were any other black spots, and replied with a helpless tone.
"As long as you want to walk on this trade road, everyone has to pass this test... We generally call this area the westbound tax payment station."
He jumped down from the top with a helpless smile on his face, obviously used to this kind of thing.
"Okay... how long until we leave this damn 'tax station'?"
Xue Hua rolled his eyes and saw the leaders of the other two caravans coming from behind the convoy. Then he curled his lips and put the Hydralisk back into the Leviathan.
"Come on, we have been in the gravel wasteland for two days, and we are only two days away from Lu Gaoyin City... I estimate that we will reach the first place set up by Lu Gaoyin on the trade road this afternoon.
It’s a checkpoint.”
Warev also saw the two principals, so he smiled at Xue Hua and turned around to greet them.
"Hey...it's finally here...how much time did Blizzard save when making games~"
Xue Hua looked at his back and let out a breath, then rode the cockroach towards his caravan.
However, just as the cockroach ran to the caravan, an Amazon standing on the roof of the car shouted loudly.
"Scavengers! A lot of them! There are estimated to be hundreds of them! Prepare to defend!"
"Damn it! Is this a premonition that we are about to leave their hunting range, and are we ready to all go out to catch them?"
Xue Hua cursed loudly and looked up, seeing dense black spots approaching them rapidly from the horizon to the north of the caravan.
