Chapter 103 Black Sandstorm
In the harshest desert, there is no place more comfortable than being in a secret room ten meters underground.

After avoiding the brutal sun, the temperature plummeted. Although it was still very hot, it was much better than the furnace-like environment outside, at least it was within an acceptable range.

What's more, the Shadow Chasing Team is not unprepared.

Four pieces of ice-attribute crystals with minimum capacity were thrown into the secret room and allowed to escape slowly. The energy in the crystals was enough to keep the small secret room cool. Lying in such a room covered with a thin sheet felt no better. The rooms in the taverns in Parvatiga are poor.

Kelly slept very comfortably. During this half day, she basically did nothing. Even running, Moria carried her on her back, but even so, she still felt very tired.She was used to the comfortable and peaceful life in the temple, and was suddenly exposed to a lava hell-like environment. Especially she was burdened with heavy psychological pressure. From the inside to the outside, she had never been so tired. As soon as she entered the secret room and lay down, she was already tired. Fell into a deep sleep.

Not only she, but everyone else except the watchers was fast asleep.

Shadow Chaser Code No. 13: A good appetite and sleep are the first elements for a successful survival.Shadow chasing requires a lot of energy and physical strength. Without good recovery and replenishment, it cannot last for a few days. Therefore, every experienced shadow chaser is an expert in adjusting his mentality, no matter how difficult or desperate the situation is. , will not affect their sleep.

"Ouch~~~" A sudden wolf howl broke the dreams of the shadow chasers. There was no doubt that this was the cry of the poor white wolf.

The howling of the wolf was not clear at first. After all, he didn’t dare to let it enter the secret room, but directly rested with the night watchmen under the pergola outside. Therefore, its howling sound transmitted through the shaft was already very small. It sounds like it's coming from a distant place.

However, within a few seconds, the howling of the wolf began to get closer and closer, and it became more and more clear to hear, until with the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the howling sound was already close to the ear.

Kelly was startled and woke up directly from her dream. She sat up suddenly and tried to figure out what was going on. When she opened her eyes, she realized that the Shadow Chasers around her seemed to be sleeping more deeply than her. They had woken up a long time ago, and had already entered a combat state. With weapons in hand and neatly dressed, they formed a complete combat formation and firmly guarded the passage to the secret room. Especially the dwarf Moback, who had even entered the huge In the transformation state, the body swelled several times, blocking the entrance.

Although no one seems to care much about the addition of White Wolf, in fact, no one, including Shuer, takes it lightly. No one dares to completely believe in such a wild and untamed creature, and it is possible that it will go crazy at some point. Whoever bites him, so when he heard the wolf howling, everyone reacted quickly.

However, maybe there is a bit of a misunderstanding about this unlucky guy.

Although he was blocked from the secret room, the white wolf had no intention of forcing his way in. Instead, he lay on the ground as if he was frightened, with his tail tightly clamped between his hind legs, huddled up and whimpering. From time to time, he would growl threateningly outside.

"Mia, come down quickly." This was Xiu Er's voice, which came from the shaft. "People inside, don't be nervous, we will go in in a moment."

"Seal, move quickly, use earth elements. One layer is not enough, every 1.1 meters, at least three layers."

Shuer spoke very quickly, but Mia didn't even have time to speak, and all she could make was the sound of chanting a spell.

At this moment, everyone heard an extremely sharp scream, as shrill as countless people screaming before death at the same time.Although the sharp neighing sound only lasted for a moment and disappeared, the huge and high-pitched sound had already left a deep impression on everyone.

"Pa", the two of them fell from the shaft one after another and pushed into the horizontal passage. As soon as they stepped back, Mia knelt on one knee and patted the ground with her hands. A huge boulder rose from the ground and blocked the passage. Strictly true.

"It should be safe." Xiuer shook off the sand on his body and kicked Bai Langxu, "As long as you run as fast as you can."

The white wolf ignored him and walked to the rising boulder. He sniffed the edge several times before lying down under the boulder with confidence and wagging his tail like a dog.

"What's going on?" Moback shrank back and asked doubtfully, "Is there an enemy or something? What was that sound just now?"

"Sandstorm." Shuer said with a solemn expression, "It's coming very quickly."

It’s not surprising that there are sandstorms in the desert. Sandstorms are one of the killers in the desert. Many travelers who challenge the desert have lost their supplies and lost their way under the attack of sandstorms, and were eventually buried in the desert. Seven people present Among the shadow chasers, at least three have personally gone deep into the center of the sandstorm, and the rest have also heard of the bad reputation of the sandstorm.

However, I have never heard of any sandstorm emitting such a shrill scream like the one just now. It was no longer like the sound of the mortal world, but the wail of the soul from the depths of the underworld.

"Well, it is indeed not an ordinary sandstorm." Knowing everyone's doubts, Shuer added, "I have never seen such a fast sandstorm, and the sandstorm I just saw was black."

A sandstorm is when strong winds carry a large amount of yellow sand to form a wall of sand that rages between the sky and the earth. The color should naturally be the golden color of the sand itself. No one has ever seen a black desert, let alone a black sandstorm.

"Put everything in order and be ready to leave at any time." After checking the hiding space to make sure there were no flaws, Shuer waved everyone back to the center of the secret room to sit down and explained in detail, "Mia and I were on the last shift just now. Gang, everything was normal originally. The sun was setting towards the south, the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was about to become night." "I thought I could spend the day so peacefully, but no one expected that just after the sun sank into the horizon Soon, there was a sudden sharp sound of wind in the distance. It was already dark outside, so neither of us could see the black sandstorm in the distance. It wasn't until it was within two or three kilometers that we were suddenly shocked."

"It's not something we discovered." Mia added expressionlessly, "It was the wolf who warned us first."

"Well, it was indeed it. If it hadn't suddenly started to run around anxiously, it might have taken a while for us to detect the sandstorm based on the sound. But after its reminder, we took a closer look. Only then did we know that the danger was approaching.”

"Compared with the sandstorm here in Parvatiga, it is just like a child's play. The sandstorm just now was hundreds of meters high. There was no boundary visible on the left and right. It was like a black city wall. It's coming over. Looking at how fast it's moving, the power of this sandstorm is probably quite astonishing."

"Mia, you should have stayed in time."

"That's natural. It was left when the camp was set up." Everyone knew that this was referring to Mia's mage's eye.The mountain elf took out a mirror and rubbed it for a moment. The mirror and the mage's eye were successfully connected, showing the scene seen by the mage's eye.

It was pitch black, and the mage's eyes only saw pitch black, as if the world had fallen into absolute darkness.However, if you look carefully, you will see that it is not a true lightless environment. Occasionally, hazy light penetrates from the outside world, but it is blocked by countless gravels.

Although the field of view is very dark, as long as you get close enough, you can still see something. Through the influence of the mirror, everyone can barely see that the sand grains are constantly being blown up by the strong wind and joining the sandstorm. The ground is It decreases layer by layer at a perceptible speed. If the secret room is not deep enough, you might have to worry about the safety of the secret room.

"The wind speed is too fast. A distance of two or three kilometers can be reached within ten seconds at most." Xiuer pointed to the scene in the mirror, "I have never seen such a strong wind."

Just kidding, how could there be such a strong wind?Although common sense tells everyone that this is unlikely, no one intends to question the judgment of Shure and Mia. It is impossible for the two to exaggerate on such an issue.

"Millity, come take a test."

"How many?"

"One is enough. Can you find a place in this environment?"

"It's difficult, but it shouldn't be a problem. Let me see, um, flat chest. Turn the angle of view fifteen degrees to the left."

Mia turned the angle of view in the mirror expressionlessly. As for whether she would take revenge on the term "flat chest", that would be a matter later.

The Mage's Eye is indeed a very convenient magic. This magic does not really create an eye to observe the surroundings through sight, but creates a receiver to receive all scenes within the coverage range. The connected mirror can display any point within the range. The situation is much more convenient than observing with eyes.

"Stop, it should be here, push forward ten meters, yes, yes, push another two meters, right here, make the picture bigger, bigger, can it be bigger? Ha, I know you will never grow again big."

She kept taunting her, but Miridi did not delay her business. As the dark energy surged in her body, the sand on the ground was suddenly broken open, and a rabbit-shaped skeleton emerged from under the sand.

However, the undead only lasted less than a second in the strong wind before being torn to pieces.That's right, it wasn't blown away, nor was it blown apart, but was directly smashed into pieces by the gravel carried by the wind. When it was swept away by the wind, it was no longer possible to tell that it was originally white bones.

"Hiss, this wind is really weird." No longer caring about mourning for her little pet, Militi opened her eyes wide and exclaimed.She knew her summoned object very clearly. Although this rabbit was small in size, it was a genuine creation of necromancy. Its bones were much stronger than ordinary white bones. It could not even last a few seconds. If it were replaced by flesh... the undead. The mage seemed to have seen the scene of skin and bones being separated and flesh and blood flying everywhere.

"If you have a shield, you might be able to hold on a little longer." Mia looked at Moback, "You should be able to hold on longer than us, but I don't think it will last much longer."

"This is not normal. There must be other energy characteristics in the wind, such as penetration or tearing. Otherwise, even at this speed, it should not be so powerful." Xiuer stared at the mirror as if it was unchanged. In fact, the scene is changing every moment, "I just hope that this wind will not last too long."

"Wait!" Moria suddenly jumped up on the spot, "Did you see it just now?"

"I saw it." Several people looked at each other, "There seems to be something in the wind."
