The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1221
Although Lin Tianci has no idea, Petra is actually very famous in the plane of the Lost Land, and she is one of the most authoritative historians. What's more, she is still very young, and many historians who are as famous as her are not To be old is to have more than half of your feet in the coffin.

The university recruited Petra as a professor of history, obviously it was not taken advantage of, and it was because she had real materials that she paid a lot of money to hire her.

To be precise, it is not that the scholars of the empire are too stupid, but that Petra is too against the sky.

It is easy to say for her to correct it according to the current position of the stars, but it is easier said than done if she really wants to do it.

Star warlocks need to compare the records with the current positions of the stars. This alone is an extremely huge workload, not to mention that they have to calculate the trajectory of the star's deviation to correct it...

At present, there are not many people with this ability in the entire Lost Land.

Casually complaining about the scholars of the empire, Petra breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the data in the notebook and said:

"The location is almost locked. Wait a moment to correct the direction. According to the current speed, it will take about two or three days to find the place."

At this time, a group of camels with people on their backs trotted towards Petra and Lin Tianci from the front of the team, and whispered as soon as they approached:
"Professor Petra, the scouts reported that there are some unusual things around. We may have entered the territory of some monsters. Please be careful when there may be battles later."

It may be because Kuranxue became the emperor as a woman, and the number of female officials in the Adrastia Empire far exceeds that of other countries. The leading general who reported to Petra is a woman.

About 30 years old, taking off her armor and putting on an evening dress may have the charm of a mature woman, provided that she can ignore her strong muscles and the glaring scars on her face.

The twisted scar ran down from her forehead, pierced through her left eye, cut the bridge of her nose and spread to her chin.

Her name is Hartri von Grunser, and she is one of Kuranxue's most trusted guards, and she leads the 300 guards.

But when it comes to monsters, Lin Tianci re-established a visual connection with the mechanism bird flying in the sky, and there seemed to be nothing worth noting in the picture sent back except for the sand.

However, Harcui has followed the archaeological team into this desert three times. She said that the nearby area has entered the territory of monsters, and it must not be for no reason.

Lin Tianci covered one eye and looked around through the mechanism bird, and asked casually:

"Do you know what kind of monster it is?"

"I don't know for the time being. Most of the monsters here move under the gravel. The scouts just discovered that the sand dunes in some places are unnatural."

Hearing what Harcui said, Lin Tianci also saw that the sand dunes in the original place were too regular in shape, as if something passed by and squeezed the sand dunes to form them.

It's still the old rules, it's right to ask Sally if you don't understand.

So Lin Tianci poured mana into the brooch without any hassle, but before he could get through the communication with Sai Li, he saw the sand in the front left of the team wriggling in his field of vision.

- Bang!

There was only a burst of explosion, and it was as if a bomb had exploded under the sand at the front of the line. The dust rolled up overturned the nearby soldiers, and a huge long strip pierced straight out from under the sand.

Because of the obstruction of the dust, I couldn't see what it was. I could only occasionally see a row of fangs gleaming in the sun. It bit the unlucky camel and lifted it and the soldiers on it. stand up.

Fortunately, the soldiers reacted quickly, and they didn't care about the height issue. They jumped off the camel directly, and it was better to be thrown half to death than to be eaten by monsters.

Accompanied by the scream of the camel before it died, the dust in the sky finally began to gradually dissipate, and a thing that looked like a huge earthworm stood in the field of vision.

Its body is segmented, each segment is about one meter to 1.5 meters in length, each segment is covered with horny armor, only the gap between the two segments can see the softer flesh tissue.

As for how long this thing is, it is difficult to identify, because most of its body is under the gravel, and the exposed body part is already ten meters long, with a diameter of about two meters and a width of more than two meters.

On the head, there is a row of worm-like, spiral-shaped mouthparts, which are full of sharp fangs, which can directly crush the prey like a mixer.

The unlucky camel just now turned into a ball of blood foam and fell into the monster's mouth almost in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, four tentacle-like things can be seen waving up and down on the head, which should be one of the predation tools, helping to send the prey into the mouth, but Lin Tianci did not see its eyes, and it was moving underground, Maybe you don't need your eyes to see.

Lin Tianci and Petra should be the only ones who had the leisure to observe, but although the team was attacked, it was not chaotic.

West is retreating in an orderly manner with the assembled workers, trying not to cause trouble to the soldiers.The soldiers did not need command at all, and quickly divided into two groups.

A group of camels went to stabilize the camels pulling supplies in the middle and rear to prevent them from getting lost, while the other group took out their crossbows and piled them up to shoot at the monsters that showed their presence in the desert. After a while, the long body was full of arrows arrow.

When such a big monster came out, everyone seemed to be mentally prepared. Seeing that the soldiers moved quickly and made no mistakes, Halcui was not in a hurry to command the battle, but looked at it from a distance and said:

"This sandworm is not big. It should be under five years old, so it's not a big trouble."

The part standing on the ground alone is more than ten meters, isn't that too big...

As Harcui said, he lowered a longbow from the back of the camel, and then the bow was full of the moon, and the arrow hit the sandworm on the forehead.

It made a strange sound like a cicada, which was very irritating to the ears. Compared with the arrows shot by other soldiers, Harcui's arrow really hurt it.

At this time, Sai Li also happened to be online, and she saw the twisting sandworm through the brooch and said:

"That thing is called a sandworm, and it is one of the more common monsters in the desert. It hides and sleeps under the sand layer for most of the year. It only wakes up when it feels the vibration to hunt for food. It will turn out its eggs every year during the rainy season. The surface receives rainwater, and the egg liquid of this monster can be used as a medium for alchemy potions, and the quality is good, and it is also one of the necessary raw materials for making stone walking potions."

While talking, Sally started to go off track again, but this time she turned back by herself:
"Sandworms are not difficult to deal with. Although they can move underground, as long as they float up and want to go down, it takes a lot of time to dig holes again. They are not like woodland anacondas, which can swim on the soft ground like water, so as long as they Come up, it's basically like a living target."

It was no wonder that the soldiers around were not nervous. As long as they could avoid the first surprise attack against the sandworms, all that remained was to shoot arrows from a distance.

But at this moment, Lin Tianci saw several wriggling marks appearing on the surrounding sand layer through the mechanism bird, and the direction they saw was towards them.

Hurry up and talk to Hal Cui, and the latter immediately ordered loudly:

"The sandworm is not the only one, pay attention to the surrounding area!"

The soldiers hurriedly conveyed the order, and less than 20 seconds later, there were five or six explosions of sandworms digging out of the soil, which seemed to surround the entire team.

"Sandworms have no spell-like abilities, and their ability to move after coming out of the ground is also very poor. The only thing to be careful is not to get too close."

Saili's words were mainly to popularize science with Lin Tianci, and it was too late.

Because the position where the sandworms come out is not fixed, some sandworms also came out of the crowd who were shooting arrows safely behind. Their ten-meter-long bodies turned the originally neat queue upside down with a sweep.

However, although the number is quite large, it should be within the range that can be corresponded.

This time, Harcui couldn't be as light as before. She commanded the soldiers to divide and encircle the Sandworms, and hurriedly ordered the wounded in the raid to be sent to the rear. Everything seemed to be in order.

Lin Tianci took a look, left a sentence "I'll help", and then patted the camel's back with skill.

Under the impetus of mana, Lin Tianci jumped up in the air, and walked in mid-air with the magical power of the wind under his feet, and soon came directly above a sandworm.

It is now swaying from side to side as if in a convulsion, spinning like an electric fan and sweeping the surrounding ground.

However, the soldiers all knew what kind of monster the sandworm was, and each of them had already left its attack range and shot arrows from a distance.

"Sandworms have almost no resistance to cold, and any low-temperature spells will cause serious damage."

Hearing what Sai Li said, Lin Tianci activated the ring of the north wind, and saw a flash of cool inspiration, and three spears made of crystal clear ice cubes floated beside him.

Raising his hand and pointing, three icy spears descended from the sky for justice. Almost without encountering any obstacles, they directly penetrated the horny armor of Sandworm's body, and exploded a large amount of cold mist at the same time as they hit.

The rapidly spreading cold caused the dark green insect blood to freeze the ice before it left, and its painful twisting of the body made the wound crackling, and finally broke into two sections with a bang.

Its upper body on the surface was still dying, and the movement sounded like a slight earthquake, but a large amount of blood and internal organs flowed out from the fracture, making it lose its life continuously. In just ten seconds or so, the sandworm They never moved again.

Ice Spear is a C-level spell attached to the Ring of the North Wind. Its level is actually the same as Lin Tianci's commonly used Thunderbolt Guizang, and its power is really not weak.

In addition to the fact that the sandworm is already weak against ice-type attacks, the effect of this shot is outstanding, so it has the effect of instant killing.

This is the advantage of knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, and what kind of monsters have any weaknesses, Saili can be said to be very clear.

Quickly moving in mid-air, Lin Tianci did the same to the other sandworm, but because the 'CD' time of the ice spear was relatively long, he switched to polar ray later, or simply used the ice wall to smash it down from the sky.

But then Sally said again:
"Sandworms do not live in groups. So many sandworms appear at the same time. It is probably because they usually use the cover of sandstorms to breed on the surface during the breeding season. So seeing so many sandworms at one time is probably because There is a strong sandstorm forming nearby."

As soon as Sai Li finished speaking, Lin Tianci saw that a whole piece of dark cloud in the sky collapsed directly, pressing heavily on the desert...
