through the dark road

Chapter 129 Snake Canyon
Alvin wrapped his face tightly, only his eyes were exposed, and walked forward with his head buried in the wind and sand all over the sky.

The three big white dogs beside him also drooped their heads, and in this weather, even if the crow flew above the dusty area, it couldn't find out what was going on.

"What the hell is going on with this sun? It's been like this since we entered the desert..." Alvin said in a muffled voice under his turban.

Akali also put the turban around her face, but she just shook her head upon hearing this.Then he continued to squint his eyes half-closed, looking around for vigilance.

At this time, the convoy not far away was blurry, let alone the team on guard on the other side of the convoy.

They had waited for more than a month in Rogge's camp before finally waiting for this caravan heading east from Duncrew.

While waiting, they also thought about starting directly, but because the three of them had no sense of direction, they finally dared not enter the desert rashly.

After Ned knew that Perona was in charge of navigation in Mobei's team, he felt a little ashamed.However, this sense of direction is innate, and he can only find a lot of books and maps to supplement various skills for identifying directions in the desert.I hope it can play a role in Lu Gaoyin's experience.

As a result, he is now looking at a desert scene that is completely different from the one recorded in the book, and his whole body is in a bad state. It's wasted effort!

Because of the abnormal solar eclipse, the weather conditions in the desert also changed dramatically.The temperature difference makes the sea breeze drive straight in from different directions, constantly stirring up the sand and dust.

Even the experienced caravan leaders and mercenaries hesitated, whether they should turn around and return to the Rogge camp.

Fortunately, the dim halo of light in the sky steadily pointed the direction. Even in this kind of weather, the monsters couldn't spot them from a distance, and so far they were walking smoothly.

After Mo Bei and Ajido finished the deal, they began to wonder why the other job changers seemed to avoid him deliberately, keeping a distance of more than two steps from him even when talking.

Seeing the transaction message that Locke and the others had just replaced on the wall, they came to the tavern where they parted ways last time, and sure enough, they saw four people having a meal.He beckoned and stepped forward.

"I got the shield back, take a look."

Locke put down the food and tableware, stood up and took the shield, stroking it lovingly.

Mo Bei looked at the tableware and cups neatly arranged in front of him, and even half a cake was placed squarely in the center of the plate.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder no doubt.

"Very good shield! Thank you!" Locke said solemnly.

"Then what kind of shield are you using now?" Vivienne was a little curious, wanting to know what kind of shield could replace this top-quality shield.

Mo Bei took out the dark golden light shield, and all three people present were a little dumbfounded.

"It is indeed an impeccable shield." Locke nodded, but there was not much envy on his face.

"Where are you going next?" Mo Bei asked.

"The Lost City, leave tomorrow. Now many teams are heading to the Snake Canyon, but there is a scout team missing from the Lost City. The Dark Elder seems to have left the ruins and is wandering around."

That kind of leader-level monster with a very wide range of perception wandering around is indeed very dangerous, and there may be a large-scale monster group gathered.

"We're going to go to the Snake Canyon later. I won't disturb your meal, so be careful! See you later!"

"Okay! You guys are also careful!"

The four watched Mo Bei leave, and McCann looked a little surprised.

"They really want to enter the Snake Canyon..."

He specially reminded him earlier because he himself was almost killed under the siege of the snake people.Unexpectedly, this team that had just arrived in Lu Gaoyin would really go in.

"Their team should be much stronger than ours, not only because of the equipment." Locke said his judgment calmly.

"Well, that cute little Perona is much more flexible in manipulating mental power than me..." Vivienne propped her face with her hands, looking a little discouraged.

"So you've been corrupted by alcohol?" Anna asked.

"No."

In fact, Vivienne's use of mental power or meditation under the influence of alcohol is the same as the principle of body weight training.

"Amazon Milor among them also has strong control over his body, and his movements and footsteps are extremely stable." As an assassin, McCann has a different focus from Vivienne.

Anna nodded, agreeing with McCann's observation.

No wonder they reached Lu Gaoyin so quickly, the four sighed together.

Mo Bei returned to Aegis's hotel and saw Milor and Perona eating.

"Are you up too?" Mo Bei said, taking out the bundle of jerky from the inventory, took out one, and handed it to Perona.

"Come on, eat more meat."

Perona took the hard jerky and looked at it, with a distressed expression.

"I got up about half a day ago and woke up Perona too. Then we went to prepare some things needed for the experience."

"Oh? That's just right. I also took the equipment back and exchanged this ring." Mo Bei distributed all the repaired equipment, and then got up to settle the room and meal expenses with Aigis.

Not long after, the three of them were fully equipped and walked straight out of the city gate along the dark street.

As soon as they left Lugaoyin City, the three of them let go of their speed and swept across the gravel wasteland like a gust of wind, leaving pieces of corpses of monsters behind them.

After the cacti and thorn plants completely disappeared from the sandy ground, the countless boulders that had been polished by the wind and sand became even denser. Under the dim light, the silhouettes of those boulders looked like they were crawling on the ground. Behemoths on the sand.

And this seems to be the favorite terrain for sand jumpers.After discovering the whereabouts of human beings, they crawled out from between the cracks in the rocks like fleas parasitic on giant beasts, and jumped off the boulders.

Seeing the jumpers appearing from all directions, the speed of the three of them did not slow down at all.Kill the oncoming monster, and then rush over directly.

These jumpers have excellent jumping ability, and they run and jump extremely quickly on the sandy ground, but they hang behind the three of them, and they can't shorten the distance no matter what.

Just when they were about to give up, a blazing wall of fire suddenly rose from the sand under their feet. The flame seemed to have the power to tear apart. Even though they jumped out of the range of the flame immediately, their skin, which was difficult to hurt by the sword, had already turned black. chapped.

The pain didn't last long. A gust of wind passed through, and the heavy and cold blade smashed their heads into pieces.

Mo Bei felt that this sword of great battle was slashing against the monster, like breaking ice with a blunt instrument.These jumpers, who are good at using their flexible bodies and bones to release their attacking power, are crunchy like bananas soaked in liquid nitrogen under this sword.

The surrounding boulders gradually showed many traces of man-made carvings. This was another prosperous area of ​​the desert empire, because from here to the north, there are dotted oases on the desert.

It was also the most densely populated area except for Alanoke City.

But now, there are countless mutated insect swarms gathered there, and even job-changers are reluctant to go deep into it.

After seeing a stone-carved human head several feet high, the three of them turned directly to the southwest to the area where the Snake Canyon was located.

The Snake Canyon is a huge rift valley surrounded by huge rocks, and there is no clear record of its cause.

And from time to time, the canyon is completely buried by yellow sand, and then may reappear when another sandstorm subsides.

But this has no effect on the snake people entrenched in it. Even if these snake people are buried deep in the yellow sand for several months, they are still alive and kicking.

Mo Bei felt that this was a map that was open for a limited time, and it was no wonder that Locke and the others couldn't help but go in and explore it.
