through the dark road

Chapter 110 The Dangerous Stalemate
The moon is not full, but it is big and bright.The sand under the moon has turned silver-gray, and it seems that there is still a glimmer of light.

As they went deeper into the desert, the ups and downs of the sand dunes became more obvious. Looking around, they looked like still waves, which made people feel peaceful, but at the same time, there were countless murderous intentions lurking.

The three teams still maintained vigilance at the front and flanks of the convoy.

Mo Bei and the others were on the left side of the convoy, looking at the Alice team on the right side of the convoy, more than twenty feet away from them, they could still clearly see Rael's mouths kept opening and closing, as if they were whispering staring at the sky.

The night sky is a stunning dark blue.The sand in this desert is as reflective as the snow, making the night sky as bright as dawn is about to break.

With the exception of Sand Leapers, who like to lie in wait in the sand, all monsters can be spotted in this darkness before they approach them.

Miloer suddenly looked back to their left rear, and several human figures appeared one after another on the top of a sand dune, quietly watching the slowly moving convoy.

With their eyesight, they could still clearly see those human figures at least three hundred paces away.

All of them were tall and strong, wearing armor, holding shields and javelins, and some looked like they were holding long whips.

The pupils under the helmet are like nocturnal felines, shining with a faint light.Not only does it have anti-joint lower limbs, but it also has a thick and long tail rolling behind it.

Saber-toothed cat.

They are a family of cat people with surreptitious actions. After joining the side of hell, they gained great power and became extremely ferocious and bloodthirsty.They were originally united, but now they even kill each other.

After weighing the strengths of the two sides, the dozen or so saber-toothed cats seemed to feel that they couldn't get a bargain, so they planned to retreat to the sand dunes.

Those who come are all guests, meeting is fate.How could Mo Bei let them just leave like this.Almost as soon as he saw them, he took out the continuous shooting crossbow, pulled the bow with a "click", and shot several arrows in succession.

A few cats were hit by arrows, and the group of monsters moved quickly.

Mo Bei's expression was a little sullen, because those few arrows were all shot by Miloer.

All his crossbow bullets hit the sand, not even reaching the feet of those monsters.

These cat people have high IQs, even though they were attacked, they rushed up without losing their minds, roared in the direction of the caravan, and disappeared behind the sand dunes.

Along the way, they often encountered such monsters who ran away when they saw the situation was not going well. They couldn't leave their posts at this time, so they ignored them.

Milor sighed, the attack of the Withering Ring is really not enough for the monsters here.Perona's flame enhancement has only one-third of the effect on long-range weapons, otherwise it can make up for the lack of this bow.

Perona also bulged her cheeks on the side. Her spell range was limited by her mental power, which was only about [-] steps, so she could only look at the monsters that were so far away.

This is the casting range that she can only reach after she has made a significant breakthrough in her mental power before leaving Rogge's camp.

The Leaf Staff provides a 9-level heating skill bonus in one go, raising the mage's most basic skill to 15.

The heating skill can increase the speed of mana recovery, and its essence is to enhance the control of spiritual power, so that mages can also obtain a state similar to meditation in peacetime and in battle.

She took this as a breakthrough and increased her mental strength by a large margin.

If Kane knows this, he doesn't know how he should feel.

Although the breakthrough was made with the help of equipment upgrades, the improvement of mental power is extremely difficult, and it is impossible to do it without extremely high talent and understanding.According to the records, the only ones who could do this at this stage were Tal Rasha and Zolton Kuller. . .

Perona, who was kicking the sand and walking forward, was suddenly startled, and immediately looked up to the front right of the convoy.

"Wizards! Lots!"

"A lot? How much?" Mo Bei's heart trembled when he heard this, because Perona's voice was more tense than ever.

"Twenty... thirty! More than thirty!"

Kane in the convoy also looked cold, and immediately whispered a few words to Warriv beside him, obviously aware of it.

This anti-tracking spell, researched from the literature left by the Three Gods, is not limited by the range of the spell, and it can probably feel the branded breath of the members of the Wizarding Association thousands of feet away.

In other words, the more than 30 members of the Wizarding Society were less than three kilometers away from the convoy.

Warriv immediately gestured for the convoy to turn and called everyone together.

After listening to Kane's general explanation, everyone's hearts sank.The number of opponents is twice as many as one's own. Even if this kind of melee can win in the end, there must be casualties.

"Looking at the direction they are going, they should be planning to intercept us. It seems that we are being targeted." Rogers said in a deep voice, his crow had already seen the other party's movements from a high altitude.

"How did they know our location?" Everyone couldn't help wondering, in this terrain, they still couldn't see each other's situation with their own eyes.

"Abandon the car! Let's go quickly!" Warriv gritted his teeth and said decisively.He looked at those pack animals with great reluctance. Most of them followed Warriv on this road many times. Experienced pack animals were extremely important to the caravan, and Warriv cherished them very much.The most difficult thing to let go at this time is these hard-working big guys.

"You keep going, we will find a way to lure them away." Mo Bei felt that the other party was probably coming after the soul beacon, so he planned to leave the caravan without hesitation.With their speed, the opponent has the ability to bite them, and there should not be many, just a chance to fight back.

"It's too late." Kane stopped Mo Bei, looked north, and a few faint black spots had appeared on a taller sand dune in the distance.

The two sides have already met face to face, and it is impossible for the other party to let the caravan leave.

But Mo Bei still had the idea of ​​leaving the team first and luring a few from the opponent's formation to come out and kill them.It's just that the gap in the number of people is too great, and the caravan may also suffer a devastating impact.

"There are a lot of monsters gathering behind us, very many." Rogers' expression became a little more dignified.

As soon as the voice fell, there were bursts of rapid and hoarse calls from behind the convoy, like an old cat crying at night, which seemed very strange in the desert at night.

When everyone turned their heads, they saw a dark figure floating on the sand behind them, which was constantly surging.

The strange group moved very fast, and after a while, the group of figures gradually became clear in everyone's eyes.

It's the saber-toothed cat, and the sand knight.

Those cat people can call so many helpers!Mo Bei's expression was bewildered, and he regretted not chasing them down before.

"Sand bandits! They are sand bandits who joined the wizarding society, but why are there so many people in this group of sand bandits?" Ramsay also vaguely saw the attire of the members of the wizarding society at this time. Years of mercenary experience allowed him to judge the other party's identity.

After the fall of Kejistan, the desert kingdom of Aranoch became the commercial center of Sanctuary, and the merchants here accumulated immeasurable wealth through business.And these bandits in the desert have been wreaking havoc in the desert for thousands of years and never stopped.

After experiencing the War of Original Sin and the invasion of the forces of hell, this desert kingdom rose and fell several times. Today, the population here is less than one in ten, but it is still the most prosperous and chaotic area in Sanctuary.

In the darkest moment of human beings, the three religions here, including these desert bandits, made different choices because of their different backgrounds or other reasons.

Some of them went through many twists and turns, and were finally re-accepted by the humans living in Lugaoin and became part of the resistance to the forces of hell.

Except for those who still intend to go their own way, the rest are absorbed by the Three Gods Sect that has changed its face into the Wizards' Association.

Before Mo Bei and the others entered the desert, they already knew a little about the bandits here.

The individual strength of sand bandits is actually not strong, only relying on their large numbers to run rampant in the desert.Nowadays, the resources that can be plundered are extremely limited, and the vast majority of gangs that are too large are facing the end of internal strife and division.

Therefore, there are only a dozen or so people in an ordinary bandit gang, and with the size of four small teams in the caravan, it hardly poses any threat.

For some unknown reason, this group of sand bandits gathered so many people. Even Warriv, who has been in business for decades, has never encountered such a situation.

And there are nearly [-] monsters behind the convoy, the situation can be said to be very critical.

Alice's face was extremely cold, and the three barbarian brothers beside her looked aggressive, with a cruel and murderous intent that could not be concealed flashing in their eyes.

And the coachmen were all ashen, Rogers patted one of the coachmen and comforted him.

"If we lose, we will run with you on our shoulders. Unless we are all killed in battle, we will never leave you behind."

When they lost their village before, they had the experience of fleeing from the strange group with villagers with disabilities on their backs. Now in his bear-man form, he can run freely with three people on his back.

When the bandits noticed the strange group, they slowed down, then changed direction, and walked alongside the caravan, as if they were waiting for an opportunity to strike.

This scene made Mo Bei happy. It seemed that these guys were also very afraid of those monsters!

Due to the limited movement speed of the convoy, the two sides quickly approached to the distance where they could see each other's facial features clearly.

Almost all the bandits were wearing turbans, and they deliberately had tattoos and piercings on their faces.They were not as cruel as Mo Bei imagined. At this time, they just looked at the caravan people coldly, as if they were waiting for the strange group to attack them, and the expressions on their faces were rather gloating.

And the group of monsters gradually stopped chasing, it seems that because of the appearance of the group of bandits, they need to re-evaluate the strength of both sides.

At this time on this desert, the three parties unexpectedly appeared in a stalemate.
