Versatile Mage's Immortal Flame

Chapter 283 The surging desert

Author: Like Irena

After all, a competition is just a competition and can never be compared with military exploits in war.

"Brother Fan, I found a group of scale insects not far ahead. They are coming to us now. After they came out of their holes, I stole their eggs. I led them to the south. I think they will be there for a while.

They won’t care about us for a while,” Zhang Xiaohouhui reported.

"This... you have lured away all those scale insects. There are quite a few nests there!" Ge Ming couldn't help but said with his eyes widened.

"Well, they are very concerned about insect eggs, so I stole one from one nest, and then all the scale insects from other nests came to block me." Zhang Xiaohou said.

"Then you came back safe and sound??" Wang Jiuming also felt very incredible.

The rest of the team couldn't help but show joy on their faces. They didn't expect that walking in the desert would be so smooth this time. They avoided several places where they had to fight because of their personal strength.

They all had their heads tucked into their belts. Seeing the outstanding strength of these new team members, their uneasy hearts calmed down a lot.

Being teammates with such people is really a worry-free and extremely safe thing.

"It seems that we have successfully passed this level." Ge Ming smiled, then embarrassedly crumpled the battle strategy paper he had drawn up before and threw it away.

Thanks to all the preparations he had made in the early stage, including analyzing the habits of desert creatures, looking for their weaknesses, and even rehearsing battle formations in advance, they hadn't even used a single spell yet.

You must know that many teams composed of hunter masters would be scarred when they came to them, but they... just came through chatting like they were on vacation.

…

"The collection has been completed, Lao Lu, please come over and analyze the route first." Wang Jiuming took back the detection instrument at this time, and then handed it to Lu Fang.

Lu Fang left and took over the instrument, and then input the information into his device. Before the information was transmitted, the little loli Lingling on the side spoke.

"Let's go now. As long as we get to the other side of this small Huangshan Mountain, we have to go to a place with sunshine. As long as we reach the sand basin before the sun goes down, we will be safe." Lingling had already put it in place at this time.

The drawings were printed out and a copy was given to Ge Ming.

The corner of Lu Fang's mouth started to twitch. He was about to scold the little girl not to draw blindly, but when he glanced at the distribution map and demon marks on the Lingling tablet, the expression on his face immediately changed.

"What's the matter, Lao Lu?" Someone noticed Lu Fang's expression and asked hurriedly.

To be honest, Ge Ming didn't really believe in the road map created by this little girl.

Lu Fang glanced at the direction of the sun at this time, then looked at the drawings, and then said seriously: "We must act immediately and leave here before dark, otherwise there will be big trouble!!"

So everyone immediately packed up their bags and started walking as fast as flying.

Zhang Xiaohou and another member of the melee hunter group were exploring the path ahead, and the others also directly used magic to walk quickly.

Zheng Tong and Wang Jiuming both didn't understand why Lu Fang directly agreed to Lingling's road map. In the end, Ge Ming couldn't help but asked: "Lu Fang, what's wrong? You look so ugly?"

"Our intelligence is somewhat wrong. The sand under the Dahuang Mountain is not only inhabited by dead insect shells, but also a group of night sand monsters. They live under about forty meters of sand and are distributed all over where we are.

This piece of land and the area four kilometers ahead

, now the sun is about to go down. If there is no direct sunlight shining on the sand, then these night sand monsters will drag all the living creatures in their territory under the sand and eat them. There are so many of them that it is difficult for us.

Deal with it!" Lu Fang said with a solemn expression.

"This... damn, this damn information dealer told us that there is absolutely no danger under Dahuang Mountain. We must kill him when we go back!" Zheng Tong said angrily immediately.

The Night Sand Terror is the monster that travelers to the desert least want to see.

"Have we encountered the Terror Demon before in Jinlin Huangcheng? Is this Night Sand Terror Demon something like that??" Mu Nujiao remembered something and asked in a low voice.

Before Lin Ran could speak, Mo Fan spoke.

"Yes, they are the same creature, but they live in different places. Most of the night sand monsters live in dry places, and they don't like the sun very much. They only come out at night. Lingling's computer shows that this area

There are probably more than five hundred Night Sand Terror Demons in the area. If their roots sense that there is a living thing walking on the sand, they will all come over. You should be able to imagine how terrifying that scene is."

Mu Nujiao immediately stopped talking. She thought that when they encountered a Terror Demon in Jinlin Desert City, it was extremely scary. Unexpectedly, there were more than five hundred of them in this sandy area... This was simply a living grave!

Lin Ran touched Mu Nujiao's hand and said, "Don't worry, I can solve it."

Mu Nujiao muttered: "I'm here to train people." She didn't want to rely on Lin Ran for everything.

"Girl, how do you know these are terrifying demons?" Lu Fang asked while walking quickly.

"My name is Lingling!" Lingling said with some dissatisfaction.

"Oh, Lingling."

Lu Fang is now kneeling in embarrassment, but he is more grateful.

If he analyzed it at the speed he just did, it would probably be dark by the time the route was analyzed, and there would be no use for the route at that time, because without the sun, the roots of the terror would be spread everywhere.

It's just that Lu Fang was a little surprised. How fast Lingling's thinking must be to be able to analyze the dangers of this area faster than him!

They had received intelligence before that there were only scale insects here, but now it seems that the lucky person who entered here came during the day. Unexpectedly, at night, demons danced here, and the troops who came here would be swallowed up!!

"It is very strange that the symbols of life are so sparsely distributed but cover the entire area. Also, there are only two kinds of life in this five-kilometer radius, one is the underground demon, and the other is the scale insect, and then there are no more

As for any other creature, scale bug monsters have always been the most annoying thing to carnivorous plants because they can't digest their hard shells, so this probably proves that there are plant monsters under the sand, because all other non-shell monsters have been eaten by them.

It’s gone!” Lingling said seriously at this time.

"Hehe, anyway, it's thanks to you this time." Lu Fang said.

"You ignored day and night before, which is actually very fatal." Lingling looked like a veteran driver teaching at this time.

This desert is indeed terrifying. If they follow the previous plan, then once it gets dark, they will basically be trapped by the horror demon. It is hard to say whether they can escape. The more they think about it, the more Lu Fang feels scared.

!

"Go quickly, go quickly, I can see the night line moving towards us!" Zhang Xiaohou said loudly at this time.

He could clearly feel something surging in the sand.

The sand layer nearby is not as thick as expected. There is a layer of sand on top, and probably a layer of soil below. If the sand starts to stir now, it means that something is drilling out of the soil.

Zhang Xiaohou was faster. He observed from a high place. The twilight line had spread. Now there was no sunlight in some places. In the sandy area without sunlight, he had already seen black centipede-like things. They were like black worms.

these black

Long snakes were scattered all over the dark area. As soon as the sunlight disappeared, they began to boil. He also saw a beast that accidentally broke into the sandy area. It was obviously very big, but in the blink of an eye it disappeared.

It was dragged under the sand by these terrible roots.

He knew without guessing that this fierce beast would soon turn into a pile of bones, and its blood, flesh, and internal organs would become the nourishment for this terrifying sand.

"Go quickly, go quickly!" Zhang Xiaohou urged everyone again.

The sun was setting faster than they thought. If they couldn't reach the area where the demon roots were distributed, they would be in big trouble!

"Monkey, go harden the ground and don't let them get out so easily for now." Mo Fan said to Zhang Xiaohou.

"Okay! Are there any other earth mages in the team?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.

After a while, two other hunters stood up. Zhang Xiaohou immediately called out the Wings of Wind. He carried the two earth mages and rushed forward to take precautions against the terrifying demons.

…

I ran all the way, but still couldn't beat the sunset. A layer of faint darkness gradually replaced the original orange-red brilliance. The surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a lot in an instant. The atmosphere had completely changed now. The next step was not fiery, but

It is a kind of darkness and decay that is coming towards us.

"Come to us quickly!" Zhang Xiaohou said loudly to the people behind him.

Everyone arrived at the area where Zhang Xiaohou and the other two hunters were. The sand here had been squeezed and was as hard and impenetrable as rock.

Where the sun doesn't shine, black roots suddenly rush out, and the sandy land boils and splashes like an ocean stirred by countless schools of fish. They are like a group of hungry ghost tentacles, feeding the living creatures here.

Surrounded.

When they approached the team's position of more than 300 meters, they could clearly feel that their spread was hindered. The solid and thick sand prevented them from traveling as freely as before!

"Hurry up, they will rush up soon." Lu Fang shouted.

People didn't dare to stop, they continued to move in the direction of their goal.

"Let me lead the way!" said a hunter who also majored in the wind element. Ge Ming and others called him Flying Squirrel.

Momonga's movements are very agile and his steps are very light. With the power of the wind, he can even leave no footprints on the sand.

"No problem here, everyone come over to me..."

"Wow!!!!" Suddenly there was a loud noise, the thick sand exploded, and the flying sand poured down like rain.

In the sand rain, a terrifying demonic tree rises from the ground like a monster. All its branches can be used as its attacking weapons, even the intricate roots buried under the sand.

The roots and tree vines directly turned into a wooden cage, instantly surrounding Momonga from all directions. Momonga suddenly turned his head in disbelief, and then he found that he was being isolated by countless vines until he died of despair.

In the space, a feeling of fatal suffocation immediately hit my face!

"Flying Squirrel!!" Lu Fang suddenly shouted.

Ge Ming's reaction was already very fast. He completed the light magic almost instantly. He turned the light into a hundred-foot sword, and then slashed towards the roots and vines crazily.

However, these roots and vines are too thick, and his magic alone cannot completely tear open the plant cage surrounding Momonga!

"Captain, look behind us!" Zheng Tong said loudly at this time.

Even if Ge Ming didn't look back, he knew what was happening behind him. It must be deadly roots and vines that were so intertwined that no gaps could be seen.

"Everyone, keep moving forward, I will save Flying Squirrel myself!" Ge Ming said loudly.

Momonga was too anxious, the path he was leading was completely unworkable, and his ability to sense such underground creatures was too poor.

"I'll do it." Lin Ran said, and the next second he flashed directly in front of Flying Squirrel.

Flying Squirrel saw the calm Lin Ran and said immediately: "You..."

Before he finished speaking, the environment changed rapidly and he appeared in front of Ge Ming the next second.

Flying Squirrel looked at Lin Ran and couldn't help but said, "Thank you."

"It's okay. This guy is probably angry. Let's leave quickly." Lin Ran said.

Momonga and the others immediately moved forward. They originally thought that Lin Ran was a pretty boy who only flirted with women, but they didn't expect that this guy's space magic was so outrageous that he actually brought Momonga out directly.

"Well. Let's go, go quickly, otherwise we will all be left here." Lu Fang said.

"Follow me next, make sure you don't go wrong. This ghost is very good at setting traps. It will be difficult for us to escape if we step into the trap." Zhang Xiaohou breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led the way.

Zhang Xiaohou now gave up flying, and then moved forward at high speed on the ground. He was testing the thunder with his own body, and Lin Ran could probably take him out of the monster's mouth.

"If there is only one terrifying demon, its range of activities is limited!" Mo Fan said at this time.

Horrors are creatures that move very slowly. They usually camouflage themselves and wait for their prey to enter their hunting area. The range of roots and tree vines spread by a Horror is almost three hundred meters.

Left and right, the closer you are to the body of the Terror Demon, the harder it is to escape from its trap. The reason why Momonga was instantly trapped by the Night Sand Terror Demon just now was because he was too close to the body of the Night Sand Terror Demon!

Fortunately, Lin Ran's space magic was even more abnormal and he lifted Flying Squirrel out in an instant, otherwise Flying Squirrel would probably be dead by now.
