Chapter 293: Mosaius's Nest

Previously, a death worm left a six or seven-meter-wide depression on the sand, but this time, the sand in the distance collapsed in patches, covering a range of hundreds of meters, and was approaching at high speed!

"How many are there..." Jin Fei widened his eyes.

"There are many rows in front and behind, at least hundreds." Mou Ning reported the number.

"The death worms are basically around thirty in a group, and hundreds are rare large groups." Ophelia said: "The one just now is considered a scout of the group, moving several kilometers ahead of the swarm. Once encountering a situation, it will report to the large force behind... The dying roar just now was not a scream, but a message."

"Don't explain, get in the car!"

Rolf opened the hatch of the armored vehicle. Although there was still sand, there was no time to continue cleaning it. Everyone got into the car, started at full speed, and drove towards the center.

The sound of the armored vehicle's movement was transmitted underground, and the death worms followed and changed directions, hanging behind the armored vehicle for hundreds of meters and chasing closely.

After all, they were several dozen meters long beasts. Even if one was not a threat, hundreds of them piled up and killed them, they would become a huge mountain of flesh. The blood flowing out could drown a person. People did not have the energy to waste time with them.

However, the movement speed of these big insects under the sand was extremely fast. Even when the armored vehicle was driving at full speed, it was slowly caught up.

"Is there any way to get rid of them?" Rolf turned around and asked Ophelia while operating the armored vehicle.

Ophelia was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said: "Turn northeast in front..."

Rolf did it immediately. The armored vehicle turned sharply and drove in the direction indicated by Ophelia, and the swarm of insects behind him also turned.

Seeing that the people behind him were getting closer and closer, Rolf gritted his teeth and said: "Who of you will take over from me? I have consumed a lot of energy!"

"Let me do it." Luo Jun volunteered to come to the driver's seat and took over the joystick.

"Depending on the driving speed, a maximum of ten breaths of energy will be consumed per minute, and firing guns and cannons are another matter..." Rolf was explaining, and Luo Jun suddenly poured in energy, and the car suddenly accelerated to full speed, slightly leaving the bugs behind him behind.

"Don't drive too fast." Rolf advised: "Ten breaths a minute may not seem like a lot, but it will be unbearable over a long period of time..."

"I can't leave them behind even at full speed..." Luo Jun looked at the operating panel above, "What are these weapons, do they consume ammunition?"

"There are ammunition stored in the magazine. Even if it is used up, you can pour in energy to temporarily generate it." Rolf explained: "A main gun, a rotary machine gun, and an anti-tank missile launcher."

Luo Jun nodded, operated a few times, and aimed several weapons at the rear.

"Are you going to fight back?" Rolf shook his head and said, "It's useless. There are too many bugs, and they are all underground. The weapons may not be able to kill the main body..."

"No need to kill..." As he said, Luo Jun poured in his vitality, and the three weapons fired at the same time, bombarding the back of his buttocks.

With the reaction force of these weapons, the speed of the armored vehicle has increased slightly!

Is this the purpose? Rolf looked at Luo Jun in surprise, and then advised: "This is not a long-term solution. At this consumption rate, the reserved ammunition will be used up soon, and then there will be no follow-up..."

However, Luo Jun didn't listen at all. The weapons continued to bombard the back, and the ammunition was poured out like money. Even if the magazine was empty, he didn't stop, and continued to pour out firepower. He really pushed the armored vehicle and slowly distanced himself from the bugs behind.

This... Rolf was dumbfounded. You know, if there is no reserve ammunition, one main gun shot will consume 25 breaths of vitality, a machine gun consumes 10 breaths per second, and a rocket shot consumes 30 breaths...

These things are fired together, and the armored vehicle consumes about 100 breaths per second, including its own power. For ordinary practitioners, even if the consumption reduction effect of Pei Yuan Realm is taken into account, it will be sucked dry in a few seconds. How can this guy deal with it so calmly?

How much energy does he have?

"No..." Rolf was surprised when he saw Luo Jun shook his head: "The barrel can't hold on..."

Sure enough, the dashboard showed that the barrel was overheated and could not continue to fire.

But fortunately, they have opened a certain distance from the bugs behind, so they are not worried about being caught up for the time being.

"How far can we get away?" Zhuge Chi asked Ophelia.

"Soon." Ophelia looked up and looked out the window: "We're here..."

As soon as the voice fell, a piece of red suddenly appeared outside the window, as if the armored vehicle rushed into a ball of red mist.

"What's going on?" Everyone became nervous. They didn't see any red fog just now.

"Mou Ning!" Jin Fei turned his head and looked at the girl with the eye mask: "Can you see what's outside?"

Mou Ning shook her head: "We are trapped in a powerful energy field, and my clairvoyance can't see through it."

"This is obviously wrong!" Jin Fei looked at Ophelia: "Where did you take us?"

"A place where we can get rid of the worms." Ophelia said: "Those death worms will not step into this area."

"Doesn't that mean it's more dangerous here?" Jin Fei's expression became wonderful: "'Ye', stop and go back!"

"No!" Ophelia refused: "It's more dangerous to stop here, keep moving forward and pass through the red fog!"

Zhuge Chi frowned: "Miss Ophelia, have you ever entered this red fog?"

Ophelia nodded: "I have entered and come out, alive."

"Since you have experience, then listen to the guide." Zhuge Chi shouted to Luo Jun: "Mr. Ye..."

"No need to remind!" Luo Jun's voice had not yet fallen, and the red outside the window had dissipated.

"We have passed through."

"Stop!" Ophelia suddenly said: "Turn off the engine immediately and keep quiet!"

Luo Jun was slightly stunned, but still did it honestly.

"What is this for?" Otos put his hand on the handle of the knife: "Are there death worms here?"

"Not death worms." Ophelia said lightly: "Everyone get out of the car, try to keep quiet, and then we will walk forward."

Rolf opened the hatch, everyone got out of the car, and then put the armored vehicle into the treasure box.

Looking around, this place is no different from other deserts, and the red fog that was passed through before can't be seen around, as if the experience just now was an illusion.

The only weird thing is that it is so quiet here that you can't even feel a trace of wind and sand.

"What on earth is this..." Ma Lei wanted to ask curiously, but was interrupted by Ophelia: "Silence!" Zhuge Chi raised his hand and took out a portable barrier generator from the treasure box, set up a soundproof barrier, and whispered: "Is this okay?" "You can talk, but you have to walk lightly when you move, otherwise the vibration of the ground may still be transmitted." Ophelia walked forward: "Follow me." Everyone began to walk through this deadly quiet desert. "What on earth is this place?" Jin Fei asked: "Why didn't the death worm chase?" "This is the nest of Mosaius." Ophelia said. "It sounds like a dangerous place." After getting off the car, Otos's hand never left the hilt of the knife: "What is this Mosaius?"

"In the ancient legend of Parami, it is a monster that devours everything." Ophelia walked calmly in front of the team: "Legend has it that it usually sleeps in the center of the desert and wakes up only once every hundred years. Every time it wakes up, it eats an oasis. The Great Desert of Hyruber has become lifeless as it devours it again and again."

"What is the red fog?" Ma Lei asked: "Why can't I see it after entering?"

"That's the breath of Mosaius. It is a warning color used to prevent others from disturbing it when it is sleeping. Creatures in the desert will turn around and flee once they find red fog around them. But when they are not breathing, they can't see the red fog." Ophelia explained.

"To prevent it from attracting too much attention and unnecessary trouble?" Zhuge Chi nodded. After all, if the breath of such a large area is red, it will be a ball of red bigger than a mountain, which is too conspicuous.

"Swallowed Oasis..." Luo Jun frowned after hearing this: "Could it be that Amjila was swallowed by it? Yuan Shouzhen disappeared while exploring Amjila. Could he also get lost here and be swallowed by it?"

"No..." Ophelia denied it very simply: "According to legend, Mosaius is a devourer that appeared after the fall of Amjila. And when I came here last time, it was in this position, which means it has never woken up."

"After saying so much, where is this Mosaius?" Jin Fei was aroused by curiosity.

"It's here." Ophelia said lightly.

"Here?" Everyone was slightly stunned, and then saw Ophelia raised her hand and pointed to the ground: "It's right under our feet."

"When Mosaius is asleep, he will bury himself in the sand and use his breath to circle his body."

"So, all the deserts within the red fog are a thin blanket covering Mosaius."

Ophelia's words made others drop their jaws.

After they passed through the red fog, they had walked at least a thousand meters, but still hadn't encountered the red fog on the other side. If the sand they stepped on was all covering the body of Mosaius, how big would this monster be?

"I think... the hundred death worms outside are more adorable." Jin Fei swallowed his saliva.

"Death worms will fight to the death when chasing their prey, but Mosaius, as long as you don't wake it up, it's safe."

After listening to Ophelia's introduction, everyone walked more carefully, even keeping their mouths shut. Every move showed their distrust of the soundproof barrier.

Finally, after walking an unknown distance, the red fog appeared around them again!

Rolf immediately took out the armored vehicle, and after everyone got on, they drove out at the fastest speed.
