Secret Dice

The sandstorm came and went quickly, and calm was restored outside in just two minutes.

Of course, Mou Ning told everyone the news, because in less than a minute, the armored vehicle had been completely buried in the sand. It was pitch black outside the window, and it was impossible to hear or see, making it impossible to judge the external environment.

Just in case, five minutes after the sandstorm left, Rolf restarted the armored vehicle and used the robotic arm to dig it out from under the sand. But the wheels, hatch covers, cameras, and other places with gaps are filled with sand and need to be cleaned.

While cleaning up the sand, everyone got out of the car to get some air. They noticed that the armor plate was covered with messy scratches, and there was almost no trace of intact paint. I remember that when Rolf first took it out, the whole car was as clean as new. Who would have thought that after a sandstorm, it would have such a perfect aged effect...

"Damn it, I just took care of it!" Rolf cursed while cleaning up: "When I go back, I will be blackmailed by Old John and endure his ridicule!"

"Miss Ophelia." Jin Fei stroked the frosted armor, "We have a car. How did you deal with sandstorms when you explored the central area before?"

"Sandstorms of this scale don't happen every time." Ophelia said: "I encountered it three times. Once I lost half of my teammates, and the second time I prepared an energy shield to carry it through."

"What about the third time?" Jin Fei asked.

"The third time..." Ophelia turned her head slightly and glanced at Jin Fei: "Didn't you just see it?"

"You have an energy shield?" Rolf, who was cleaning the sand, said dissatisfied: "Then why don't you take it out?"

"You didn't even ask." Ophelia said calmly: "And you said that you are very confident in the protection of the armored vehicle. If it cannot be protected, I will take out the energy shield."

As she said that, she also looked at the armored vehicle covered with scars: "It's stronger than I expected. It should be able to last to the destination."

While talking, Mou Ning's reminder came from the distance again.

"There is an unusual noise coming from the ground. There is something quite big coming from the ground to the south!"

Is it a monster? !

Everyone immediately became alert, and Ophelia asked: "Size? Shape?"

"A cylindrical shape about fifty meters long."

"Keep quiet!" Ophelia reminded: "Don't move at all!"

Everyone became quiet after hearing this. Sure enough, not long after, they saw a slight depression in the sand to the south, and it was getting closer and closer. It seemed that something had hollowed out a tunnel underneath and collapsed all the way.

Soon, the trace of the depression passed under everyone's feet. Even if the sand sank piece by piece, everyone remained motionless, like a piece of stone.

The trace did not stop and headed all the way to the north.

Seeing that it had gone away, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Ottos curled his lips, stepped out of the sunken sand, and walked towards Ophelia: "What is that thing?"

"I said don't move!"

Ophelia blurted out!

As soon as she finished speaking, Mou Ning reminded: "That thing has turned back!"

"What?" Everyone was stunned, and turned to look north. They saw the sand suddenly exploded, and a huge flesh worm emerged from the ground, twisting and coming quickly!

As Mou Ning said, this insect is forty to fifty meters long and five to six meters thick. It has a wide mouth filled with fine and sharp teeth, as if a train is speeding from the sand!

"What kind of monster is that?" Rolf was startled and immediately took out a sledgehammer from the treasure box.

"Those are death worms." Ophelia explained: "Monsters unique to the central area of ​​​​Helub. They have no vision and rely on sensing vibrations on the sand to locate their prey. Drilling through the depressions left in the ground is where they are loose. The sand is a trace that facilitates the transmission of vibrations. Once prey steps on it, it will arouse their vigilance! "

"Then if we step on the depression, we won't be able to move forever?" Ma Lei, a short-haired woman, frowned.

"Their sensing range is up to one kilometer. Once it is far enough away, we can move around freely."

"I should have said this earlier!" Ottos snorted coldly, shook his hands, threw out two recurved scimitars, and rushed towards the death worm: "I caused the trouble myself, I will take care of it myself, so you guys should be honest. Watch it!”

Facing the huge monster, Ottos was not afraid. He rushed forward, swayed, jumped up high, and slashed at the monster with two swords in his hands.

Everyone frowned slightly when they saw it. It was a huge monster dozens of meters long. With only two daggers over two feet long, how effective would it be to hit it?

Soon, Altos hit the death worm's head in the air. While flashing his sharp teeth, he slashed hard with his two knives, leaving two wounds on the edges of the death worm's mouthparts.

"That's it?" Before anyone could complain, the corners of Altus's mouth raised slightly in the air, and then he saw the two wounds began to expand crazily, as if there were two invisible blades, splitting downwards!

The wound expanded to more than ten meters, dividing the upper half of the huge death worm into three forks, and yellow-green body fluids spilled out.

However, this monster has extremely tenacious vitality. Even after being severely injured, it still did not die. It twisted its body, screamed in pain, and continued to attack with its forked head.

Upon seeing this, Ottos nimbly dodged away, swung his body to the side of the worm, and used his two swords again, leaving two more wounds on the worm's body. Then the wounds expanded instantly, directly cutting the giant worm into three pieces... Of course , the middle section is extremely short, like a piece of sausage lying on the ground.

Altus' attack continued, leaving new wounds on the insect's body. These wounds were cut with little force and looked inconspicuous. They were just broken skin. But once formed, they would instantly expand dozens or hundreds of times, causing serious damage!

In an instant, under Altos's knife, the huge death worm was cut into pieces. The yellow-green body fluids and internal organs were sprinkled on the dry and hot sand. Pieces of thick body tissue were also broken due to the remaining nerves. Beating slightly.

Looking at Ottos again, he landed lightly on the ground, shook his hands, shook off the blood on the blade, sheathed the knife, and walked back proudly.

"With its huge size, it's just a paper tiger." Altus sneered: "Is this the monster in the central desert? That's all..."

"A single death worm is indeed not a big threat." Olivia said calmly: "The reason why I remind everyone to be careful is because these things often appear in groups."

Before she finished speaking, Mou Ning turned her head and looked towards the south: "Here we go again, this time... there are a lot of them!"

Everyone turned around and saw that a large area of ​​sand collapsed on the dividing line between the sky and the desert...
