Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 4

At first, Malu thought he was dazzled or encountered a mirage, but as the sand dune got closer and closer, its outline became clearer and it brought with it billows of dust. It was obviously not an illusion. .

This rare spectacle also amazed Malu. He couldn't help but stop and watch. However, as he watched, Malu's expression gradually changed.

 Because he found that the direction of the sand dune's movement seemed to be exactly on his side.

 This made Malu feel a bad feeling in his heart.

He didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately spread his legs and ran towards the side of the sand dune. Malu showed the posture of running 1000 meters in college, and his whole body flew out like an arrow.

Just as he was about to run out of the sand dune's path, he didn't expect the latter to speed up, turn a corner, and approach him again.

Ma Lu was forced to change direction again, but then the previous scene happened again, with the sand dune still following him.

By this point, Malu was certain that the sand dune was coming towards him, and there was a high probability that the person who came was bad.

 The distance between the two sides was continuously shortened in this chase and escape, until it was less than 100 meters in the end.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Malu gritted his teeth, stopped and stood still.

 Then he put his right hand into his pocket and quickly took out a chip.

Different from ordinary casino chips, the back of the chip has a mysterious half-open and half-closed eye, while the front side is blank where the face value should be.

Ma Lu placed the chip horizontally between the first and second joints of his index finger, flexed his thumb slightly, then rubbed the pad of his index finger hard, and hit the chip above.

With a soft buzzing sound, the blank chips flew straight up, rolling in the sky, and rising to the highest point.

It paused there for a moment, and then accelerated its fall.

Ma Lu saw the right moment, and when it landed on his chest, he stretched out his right hand again and slapped the chip on the back of his left hand.

 When he removed his palm, there was an extra number in the previously blank space.

  —29

Um? Malu felt his body and didn't feel any changes. He looked around again and saw that it was the same as before.

When Lao Wang first handed this chip to him, he said that it was called [Aegis of Destiny] and that it was one of the most powerful artifacts in the multiverse and could have unexpected effects at critical moments.

However, Lao Wang no longer remembers its specific function.

Now that Malu was cornered by the sand dunes behind him, he could only place his hope on this artifact.

However, he got nothing but an unknown number.

 At the same time, the sand dune had already arrived in front of him.

Because there are two suns in the sky, Malu is not shrouded in the huge shadow it casts, but a simple visual inspection can also feel how huge this sand dune is.

 It is nearly 30 meters high and more than 100 meters across.

However, the sand dune stopped at the last moment when it was about to hit the mainland, and then began to "tremble". Countless gravel rolled down the ridge line of the hill, and the dust almost covered the sky.

 And the thing under the sand dune finally revealed its true appearance. It was a huge and ugly head, a bit like a turtle bream, but even worse than a turtle bream.

 The huge mouth below occupied almost two-thirds of the entire head, and as it opened its mouth, Malu could also see the teeth inside.

Compared to its huge mouth, those teeth are very small, each one is less than half a meter long, but they cannot support the large number of them, nearly a thousand.

 In order to avoid being stabbed into a sieve, Malu was already considering whether to use the chef's knife in his hand to cut himself one step ahead. At this moment, there was a series of beeps in his ears. Ma Lu thought it was [Destiny's Asylum] that was finally online, but when he looked down, it was the [Traveler's Bracelet] that popped up at the right time. Then notify.

-Ding! Congratulations on discovering the 3-star ingredient [Thousand-Tooth Sand Snapper], the [Thousand-tooth Sand Snapper] illustration has been unlocked.

  ? ? ?

Ma Lu was stunned for half a second before he remembered that the detection mode had not been turned off since the last time it was turned on, and now there was movement again.

I can’t tell that this little guy is quite humorous. Compared with the big brother opposite him, he is obviously closer to the definition of ingredients.

The monster named Thousand-tooth Sand Snapper seems to agree with this and is already ready to start eating.

 But the next moment, a mechanical spear covered in electric light flew into its huge mouth first.

Ma Lu turned around and saw a weird-looking motorcycle speeding down the sand dune next door.

This motorcycle is at least twice the size of an ordinary motorcycle, and its body is also longer. The iron shell is covered with all kinds of strange potholes and repair marks. It looks like it will be scrapped at any time. look like.

But the most eye-catching thing is the part under the body. There are no front and rear wheels, instead there is a whole track. This change makes this motorcycle more suitable for driving on sand.

The rider driving this steel beast was less than 1.7 meters tall, and his whole body was wrapped tightly. Even his face was wrapped with a towel, and his eyes were blocked under black goggles. When he got closer, he used A hoarse voice shouted to Malu.

“Why are you standing there stupidly? Run quickly and I’ll help you attract its attention!”

 “Where to run?”

Ma Lu’s soul asked, making the rider on the other side startled. “Where is your motorcycle?”

But before Malu could answer, he continued, "Get in the car first! Thousand-tooth sand bream is too big, and the electric spear can only distract it, but cannot paralyze it."

As if to confirm his statement, instead of becoming sluggish, the Thousand-tooth Sand Snapper whose lips were electrocuted became even more violent and turned its whole head around.

The rider on the motorcycle didn’t brake either. He turned the handlebars to the end and accelerated past Ma Lu’s body.

Ma Lu understood the idea, made a handsome leap sideways, and then... jumped into the air.

 Fortunately, at the critical moment, the rider on the motorcycle freed up one hand, grabbed Malu's collar in time, and lifted him up into the air.

The output power of the motor reached its peak at this moment, allowing the two people to escape from catastrophe at the last moment.

The Thousand-Tooth Sand Snapper's head hit the sand with a loud muffled sound, and at the same time, a sand rain began to fall in the sky.

This created an excellent opportunity for the two of them to get out of trouble. However, the motorcycle slowed down after driving for a certain distance, and the rider on the motorcycle kept looking back.

At this time, Malu was already sitting in the back seat. He hugged the small rider in front with one hand and covered his mouth and nose with the other hand. He saw that the speed of the motorcycle was getting slower and slower, and he wondered.

 “Why don’t you leave?”

The little rider didn't answer and simply stopped the motorcycle.

Subsequently, Ma Lu saw six more motorcycles appearing on the nearby sand dunes one after another, and they were quickly approaching here.

“Don’t speak later,” the little rider warned.
