Lord of the Desert

Chapter 165 Investigation
At the same time, Jinhai Desert.

At a height of 2000 meters above the ground, Hong Fan is gliding northward at high speed.

On the ground, the green land around Li Xu slowly moved under him.

The oasis is shaped like a long fir, and the spring in the center is like a crescent moon, hence the name Shanyue.

The first-class flames that ignited today also originated from here.

Of course, by this time the fire had been extinguished, the smoke had dispersed, and no one survived the outpost.

Beside the more than [-]-meter-long spring, there are only snake people crowding each other densely, stepping forward to drink water one by one.

From a bird's eye view, it looks like a pile of variegated earthworms.

Hong Fan only heard the wind.

He descended to 500 meters.

At this distance, with the eyesight of a martial artist in the Chaos Realm, it is enough to see the faces and facial features clearly.

[The number is around [-]. Considering the stragglers scattered outside the oasis, it should be more than half. 】

Hong Fan thought.

He controlled the tail, hovered over the oasis, and saw several wakes in the spring water.

Looking closely, there is a faint long trail moving slowly under the water surface, at least ten meters long.

The altitude dropped to about 1000 meters again, and Hong Fan was able to observe the appearance of the snake man in more detail.

Covered in scales and without hair.

The snake body occupies two-thirds of the body's length, and the part with arms and head, which resembles the upper body of a human, accounts for one-third.

Human-like but not human, with ruthless eyes.

Hong Fan watched from a distance, his whole body could not restrain the chill.

He recalled Liao Zhenghao's explanation before departure.

[Snake people specialize in the physical body, and their size is positively related to their combat power. Generally speaking, the stronger they are, the bigger they will be. 】

After circling several times, he evaluated the overall strength of the snake people, and locked nine individuals in particular.

[The two eight-meter-long snakemen should be snakemen who have undergone five blood sacrifices, and their combat power is in the innate category. 】

[The seven men with a height of seven meters are the fourth sacrifice, and their combat power is at the peak of Hun Ran. 】

Just as Hong Fan was thinking about it, there was movement in the group of snakes below—although the sunlight was weak today, it still caused the hang glider to cast shadows on the ground.

"Above Broken Tooth, there is a big bird in the sky that has been circling for a long time (snake language)."

A snake man reported to one of the two chief generals of the five sacrifices.

The latter didn't take it seriously at first, but after looking up for a while, he finally became vigilant.

Ordinary snake people have poor vision, but the noble species after the blood sacrifice are different.

Broken Tooth could see clearly that what hovered in the sky was not a big bird at all, but something that had never been seen before.

"Get out of the way."

It ordered in a low voice, and took an exquisitely crafted black stone spear from the side, and raised its head, estimating the trajectory of the hang glider.

A moment later, when the target was about to pass obliquely above it, the Broken Tooth Snake exerted force, ejecting itself more than ten meters into the air, and at the same time threw the stone spear suddenly.

In the eyes of the rest of the snake people, the power of this spear is not weak.

However, it is still too far to reach the target at a height of more than [-] meters.

Hong Fan didn't need to dodge at all.

He maintained the flight path, looking down at the stone spear flying nearly 400 meters high, and then exhausted its momentum and fell freely.

Eventually, the spear smashed to pieces on a block of sandstone.

The damage of this blow is zero, but the movement is not small.

For a while, most of the snake people noticed the visitor from the sky.

The nature of snake people is very different from that of human beings.

No noise, no chaos.

Just looking up at each other in unison.

Facing thousands of pairs of vertical pupils like this, even though Hong Fan was extremely calm, he couldn't bear the chills all over his body.

At this time, only eight words came to his mind.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

On the other side of the snake group, Chi Lin, the number one commander of the entire army, was also ready to attack.

It held a two-meter-long stone spear, and it flew suddenly when the hang glider passed by.

As the same five-sacrificing snake man, Chilin's strength is far stronger than Broken Fang's, the difference is several times.

But the effect of its blow is far inferior.

Gain's stone spear couldn't bear the excessive force at all, and it shattered in the air after it was shot, turning into a piece of flying stone, and accidentally injured several snake men.

Only then did there become a little confusion in the oasis.

Seeing this, Hong Fan slightly lowered the gliding height to about 600 meters.

Then he focused his attention to the limit, not only paying attention to the two known five-sacrificing snake men, but also surveying the whole situation from the corner of his eye.

He wanted to test out the upper limit of the individual strength of the snake people present, so he was willing to take some risks.

Little risk.

In the test of Shayi V1.8, Hong Fan output Yanliujin and Shashijiezhenyuan at full power at the same time, and he was able to maneuver more than ten meters in one second.

Considering his reaction time as short as tens of milliseconds at this time, even if the snake man with meta-magnetic combat power threw a spear at twice the speed of sound in the dark, he was quite sure to dodge it.

As for the celestial level...

If there were eight, nine, or even god-level snakemen in the team, Jinhai City would not be able to defend anyway, and Hong Fan would die sooner or later.

Chilin walked through the oasis, feeling a little restless.

As the direct subordinate of the Silverscale God Son, it has always been proud of its strength.

After the two spears came out in succession, the sand bird in the sky not only did not leave, but even lowered its height, obviously provoking.

This stings its pride.

But there are very few metal weapons in the Snakeman army, only a few hundred in total.

All of Chilin's own giant knives are naturally the most abundant and "luxury", but their shape and weight are not suitable for throwing.

It took a lot of effort before it found a steel spear with a fairly clean and smooth shape from its subordinates.

For this projection, the snake man released all his power.

The dust in a radius of more than ten meters was lifted by a huge force.

Branches and leaves were shaken by strong air currents.

In the dust and fog, the iron spear soared into the sky, drifted obliquely to a height of about 600 meters, and touched the edge of the hang glider before falling.

[No sonic boom was heard, and the shooting height was about 600 meters. 】

Hong Fan and Chilin looked at each other, and raised the hang glider.

[So the Snakeman general's shooting limit is almost at subsonic speed, and the speed per second is about 270 meters. 】

[Considering that the quality of the thrown spear is not low, its destructive power far exceeds that of Li Heming. 】

After the final circling, Hong Fan turned with the wind and returned all the way south under the serene gaze of the snake man.

Three quarters of an hour later, the hang glider arrived at the north wall of Jinhai City.

Condescending, the broad and majestic city is like an iron line.

People flowed up and down like ants, carrying rocks, logs, firewood and oil.

Someone saw the approaching hang glider and began to call for friends to give pointers.

As the soldiers who had watched Hong Fan go north earlier identified the identity of the visitor from the sky, the crowd became even more erupted.

"Master Hong..."

"Second Young Master..."

The voice climbed up with the wind, hollow and ethereal, but not less enthusiastic.

Someone is waving, someone is jumping.

Everyone is laughing.

The roaring human voices and such a hot scene, like a bowl of hot soup poured into the stomach and intestines, instantly neutralized the coldness brought by the previous snake man for Hong Fanzhong.

At this time, Liao Zhenghao, Zheng Zhun and others who were waiting in the tower also came out when they heard the movement outside.

Seeing Sha Yi, they were obviously relieved, and a smile appeared on their faces that had been tense for a long time.
