Chapter 1089 Sand Sea
Chapter 1089 Sand Sea
Basically, monsters come to harass every five to ten days, about six or seven at a time. When the monster in front attracts the attention of the guards, another more powerful monster takes advantage of the chaos to sneak attack them.
So their most urgent wish is that as long as Qingu can kill this little devil, the threat of the defense station will be greatly reduced.
Judging from the description of the monster by the soldiers at the defense station, the opponent not only has a very strong defense, but also is very fast and powerful.
There is also the skill of brute force collision, which can not only kill a guard directly under the impact, but also cause damage to the already dilapidated wall.
If this guy is allowed to continue to harass, the city wall will be destroyed in the end, and they will appear naked in front of the monsters, and the site will also be swallowed by the sea of sand.
Qingu also has a copy of the portraits collected by the guards of all the demons he has encountered. Although they have hands and feet almost like humans, they have blue skin, protruding eyes, upturned noses, wide mouths, two One fang pokes forward, and the limbs have sharp claws, which can walk and crawl. Some wear armor, some carry weapons.
The appearance of this monster is more consistent with the "monster" in the game world. Presumably this is the embodiment of the invasion of alien races.
Qingu's hut and body have been materialized in the dimensional world. After a rough rest and eating, she set off, ready to see the situation on the ground and decide what to do next.
Both sides of the city wall extend to the mountain peak, on which stands a sentry tower, standing on it, you can see everything in a radius of ten miles.
She intends to ask the sentinels here first, they are monitoring every day, and they must know more and more details.
Looking at the endless sand sea, Qingu had a thought in his mind: how did those monsters come here? Since it is a living body, it must need supplies and rest.
Just like her now, after the body is concretized, she has the advantages of a living body, but at the same time, she also has some "disadvantages" of a living body, such as physical energy consumption, thirst and hunger, and so on.
So, how did those monsters cross this sea of sand? Or is it that their base camp has moved to the sea of sand?
Qingu asked: "Which direction do those demons usually start from? How fast are they traveling?"
The sentinel thought for a while and said: "We have been observing, but the sand sea is filled with dust, and it is difficult to see the situation inside clearly. But every time we just see a group of monsters coming out of the sand sea, as if... appearing out of nowhere It’s the same as it came. The speed is the same as when we walked.”
Out of thin air? Average speed...
It also confirmed Qingu's conjecture just now - there must be a base of monsters in the sand sea!
Qingu asked again: "Have you guys gone out to check?"
Sentinel: "Of course I have been there, but this sea of sand is also weird. If you walk, you will get lost in it, go around in circles, and can't get out. And we can only watch helplessly. The distance is too far, and it is impossible to pass it. It has been damaged. There are many brothers, so the boss will not let the Wan people enter the sand sea, and only keep a tight defense."
That is to say, the defense station on the Xiliang Ancient Road is only passively defending, waiting for the enemy to come before launching a counterattack, and there is a very powerful demon at the right place, making them even more passive and helpless.
Qingu nodded, it seems that there is indeed something tricky in this sea of sand.
The defense station had only experienced a fierce battle three days ago. According to past experience, the next attack would take five to ten days.
She just took this time to investigate.
When the sentinel heard that Qingu was going to kill alone, he seemed very nervous and kept saying no.
They knew that this mercenary hired at a huge price was their only lifeline. What if they got stuck in a sea of sand and couldn't get out?
He hurriedly asked his companions to report to Wan Bing, while he accompanied Qingu.
Qingu didn't expect them to be so afraid of killing. Although she was very confident in her heart, everyone was so nervous about her.
In order to cause unnecessary panic, she still waited for Wan Bing to arrive, then explained her plan in detail, and patted her chest to assure - she was sure.
Wan Bing said: "In this case, I will send two second-level soldiers to go with you..."
Qingu thought that in the past, in the small space, because of bringing people together, not only did it not help, but it was more inconvenient. Firmly refused, and promised again and again that he would definitely come back within two days.
Seeing that Qingu was so persistent and his attitude was so firm, Wan Bing couldn't force him anymore.
On second thought, yes, if this mercenary can't even face Sha Hai, how can he deal with that devil?
So he asked someone to prepare dry food and water for Qingu.
By the way, because the place is very desolate, food and water are very scarce, and the logistics supply has not delivered food for half a year. The well they had dug was running dry.
So food and water are very precious.
Qingu carried everyone's expectation and approached the endless sea of sand.
Out of the range of the valley defense station, Qingu was in a trance in a hazy ocean, with rolling sand dunes and a layer of pale yellow dust in sight.
Qingu looked back at the defensive battle, even with her strong eyesight, there was only a blurry dot left.
Including the peaks on both sides, it was also covered up by the misty yellow sand.
The heat wave is rolling, and the dunes are subtly changing with these swirling dust.
Each dune seems to be alive, moving slowly under the action of the wind.
If you use a certain sand dune as a reference, you will definitely get lost in it.
Qingu covered his mouth and nose with a cotton towel, and continued walking in one direction.
A few bamboo leaves quietly climbed onto her shoulders, despite the wind and sand blowing, they were not blown away.
After walking for a while, my feet sank step by step in the sea of sand. The speed was too slow, and sometimes I even stepped into the air and fell into the quicksand.
Simply use the wind control technique to walk against the wind.
After half a day, a bigger sand dune blocked the front.
Unlike other sand dunes, this dune looks too rounded, without the edges and corners blown out by the wind.
She thought about what the sentinel said before, that those demons just emerged from the sea of sand out of thin air. Could it be that... this is a stronghold established by the demons in the sea of sand?
Thinking of this, she tore off the wind control technique, and gently landed behind a sand dune.
Soon, her body was covered with a thick layer of yellow sand.
Qingu looked at the sand dunes in front of him, and about two hours later, he saw a yellow sandbag rising from the bottom of the sand dunes, as if there were some living things moving underneath.
Soon, the sandbag broke open, and a dark green dot came out of it.
One, two, three...
A total of seven green dots emerged, and they shook the yellow sand from their bodies and lined up in a row.
Qingu thought, this sandbag is indeed the stronghold of the demons, they are hiding in front of your house.
