Chapter 101 Camp
Find a place to sleep, of course.

When fighting in the desert, it is basic common sense to stay day and night. Maybe when facing an ordinary desert, you can occasionally challenge your common sense, but in this extremely harsh desert environment, operating during the day is self-destruction. If you don’t believe it, that white wolf with the head of the wolf Just for example.

During the day, the ground maintains a high temperature of over [-] degrees for a long time, and sometimes you can even fry food directly; the unobstructed sunlight will cause the exposed skin to crack, which is not as simple as shedding, but a real burn.People can't feel sweating, because the sweat is evaporated by the high temperature as soon as it seeps out of the pores. After walking around for a while, the clothes will be covered with a thin layer of salt particles, and the strength will be lost quickly. After a while, no matter how strong a person is, he will Knocked down by dehydration, he collapsed on the ground and quickly died.

The wolf in the distance fell like this.

When his teammates were setting up the camp, for some unknown purpose, Shuer took Moria with him. The two of them ran for several kilometers under the scorching sun and brought back the alpha wolf who didn't know whether he was alive or dead. As soon as he saw the alpha wolf, he even Kelly, who had no experience in the wild, knew that she could never move during the day.

The alpha wolf is still alive, but in a very miserable state.

Its four paws had been severely burned, and the surface had turned into a burnt black color. The skin had cracked open to reveal the tender flesh inside. Red blood and transparent tissue fluid were mixed together and continued to leak out.Even the muscles on the surface are half-cooked, exuding the aroma of barbecue.

Not only the claws, but also the skin was severely damaged.Large chunks of hair fell off, revealing shocking blisters on the skin. Some of the blisters had burst and the tissue fluid had dried up. The bright red muscles underneath were trembling and trembling. Just looking at them made people feel creepy and painful all over.

However, as expected of Parvatiga's monster, and a high-level monster, the white wolf is not only still alive, but even maintains consciousness.

Since approaching it just now, the alpha wolf has shown aggression toward these humans over and over again. The sharp teeth in its grinning mouth and the roaring growl deep in its throat all illustrate its irritability and unruliness, even if it has been seriously injured. Losing strength and losing the ability to fight, it is still the strongest among Warcraft, and it will never be like the proud head of the enemy underground.

"For extra dinner tonight, grilled wolf ribs." As he said this, Xiuer moved very gently. He slowly put down the wolf and looked up at the camp that was already taking shape.

The first priority when camping in the desert is to provide shade. There is nothing more stupid than resting under the sun. People who do this often turn their nap into a long sleep.

Since there are no hostile creatures around and there are no signs of danger, the defense level can be temporarily lowered and the focus can be mainly on fighting the environment, for example, digging a large hole deep underground.

It is difficult to excavate underground space to build fortifications in the desert terrain. After all, the sand is too mobile and is not suitable for such a thing.However, this is for ordinary people, and for powerful professionals, especially powerful mages, the word impossible is an insult to magic.

Okay, this is a slight exaggeration, but with magic, mages can indeed make the impossible possible.

Although the concentration of water element here is extremely low, even negligible, making it difficult to use water-based magic, the power of fire-based magic has increased exponentially.As long as Mia waved her hand, a large area of ​​almost incandescent flames descended, burning the sand into a hard vitrified surface.

Soon, a vertical shaft with an edge half a meter above the ground and four walls made of hard glass was built. The shaft went ten meters deep into the ground. What was connected below was a square underground chamber. Although the area was It’s not big, but it’s enough for eight people to stay in temporarily.

Of course, it was impossible for Shuer to see the basement when he first came back, but as soon as he looked at the shaft, he already understood what kind of camping method his teammates had chosen.

Looking around, I saw that the secret room was built between two sand dunes, which could just block the wind. It could also use the dunes to escape the torture of the scorching sun.A large number of magical and physical traps are set up around the shaft, making it impossible for any creature to pass through without alerting the guardians.A simple pergola was built on the sand dune on one side. The guards could hide under the pergola to temporarily avoid the vicious sunlight.

No, not only that, Shuer also felt vague dark energy swirling around. This is...

"I buried four little ones." Even the thick cloth robe could not hide Militty's proud figure. The necromancer was leaning on more than a dozen bones, with two incomplete skeletons beside him, one He held an umbrella for her to shade her from the sun, while another fanned her tirelessly to cool her down. "They are all small animals, but once there are living things approaching, they will actively surround them without me controlling them. I will naturally know when the time comes."

"Why are you still standing here?" He placed the half-dead alpha wolf in the shadow of the shaft, avoiding its sudden bite. Shuer asked doubtfully, "Why don't you go down?"

"It's too hot, it's dissipating heat." Mia was hesitating whether to add a cover to the shaft, and said without looking back, "It's too slow to use fifty ter's ice-attribute crushed crystals to cool down, especially in this environment. .”

"Cheap."

"I knew it." The mountain elf turned around and pouted at the wolf, "Why do you have to catch it back?" "In harsh environments, wolves are much more useful than humans, and they are much more sensitive to danger. , if you take it with you, once any danger approaches, it will react faster than us."

"It's up to you." Anyway, the food she brought was very sufficient, and Mia was too lazy to worry about such trivial matters. In the end, she gave up the idea of ​​adding a lid, and directed the two coolies, Moback and Makajlen, to seal the glass around the shaft. A pergola was built on the ground.It's still a long time before nightfall, so we can't hide in the secret room below all the time. With this pergola, everyone can get some fresh air outside.

"Sure, repair." Someone behind him pulled the hem of Shuel's clothes. The only one who would secretly do this was the timid Sapph. "The parameters here are very strange."

Saff did not participate in the construction. When others were busy, she stayed by Kelly's side, keeping her head down and writing and drawing on the paper.No one will be dissatisfied with this. What she is doing is much more important than others.

"Is it urgent? Oh, then wait for a while." Seeing that the camp has been built, Xiuer raised his voice and shouted, "Assemble, eat and rest, and rest in an hour. Moria, move that wolf here too. "

Soon, everyone in the team gathered in the awning. Although it was still very hot, compared to the temperature outside which was like the fire elemental plane, it was already very happy to be able to sit here.Even the wild and untamed wolf's muscles relaxed a lot after being sent under the arbor. Obviously, even if it was just a monster, it knew where to feel more comfortable.

"From now on, unless there are special circumstances, I will use the compressed food I bring to satisfy my hunger, and I will use my own water." Xiuer took out the food first, broke off a piece of jerky and threw it directly into the white wolf's big mouth, "The situation is all right." I see, now no one is sure if there is a chance to resupply midway, so we must be prepared for no resupply throughout the journey.”

"I think everyone should have been mentally prepared when they saw the supply list. Is there anyone who didn't prepare some extra water? Ha, good."

"Pastor Kelly, huh, until the end of the mission, I will no longer use honorifics. Kelly, from now on enter the mission state and obey all orders, don't ask why. Now give you the first mission, treat this wolf, Although your magical powers are subject to certain limitations in this environment, ordinary treatment should be no problem."

"Yeah, sure." Kelly is the priest of the Temple of Water. Naturally, her strength can best be exerted in an environment with sufficient water elements. Extreme environments like the current one will definitely be affected.But fortunately, she uses divine magic instead of magic, and borrows divine power to take effect directly, so it is not like Mia, where water-based magic completely fails.

As Kelly prayed, a mist of water gathered around the white wolf, and its damaged skin regenerated in the mist at a speed visible to the naked eye.Although the water mist quickly dissipates into the air as soon as it appears, the effect of the magic is still reliable, and new water mist is constantly regenerated to replenish the dissipated part.

The violent growl gradually disappeared from the white wolf's throat, and his fierce eyes began to soften slightly. Apparently, the healing magic made it feel good.However, something unexpected happened to Kelly. Just as she continued to strengthen the effect of her magic, the injured white wolf suddenly jumped up, roared at everyone a few times, turned around and ran away, rushing like lightning. Entering the scorching desert, you disappeared behind the dunes in the blink of an eye.

"This, this, ran away." Kelly was stunned, holding her hands up for a long time and forgetting to put them down, "What should I do?"

"Ha, the evil believer of water, of course he will run away, or do you still expect it to stay and eat?" She was the only one who was stunned, and the others were not surprised at all, and even the movement of eating was not affected. Especially Moback, believers of the God of Fire love this environment to death, surrounded by abundant fire elements, making him seem to have returned to his beloved furnace, "And your magic is really inferior, even a Even wolves can’t be cured, hahahaha, no wonder you guys 2000 years ago..."

"Mia."

"silence."

So, it was quiet again under the pergola.

"Moback, if you can come up with the mission rewards promised by the Water Temple, I don't mind if you continue to bully the client." Shuer's eyes became dangerous and he sneered, "But if you can't come up with it, what else can you do? If you keep bullying Kelly, hey, do you think my hammer is beautiful?"

Not pretty at all.Moback shook his head vigorously, wuwu, the captain whose reward was threatened is really terrible.

"Don't worry, Kelly, it's enough to do this." It's rare for Shuer to be so patient in a task. Sure enough, the client has the privilege, "Sav, you can tell me now, what did you just say was weird? "

"This alien projection is very strange."
