Chapter 2320 Mirage
Have you ever seen a desert that looks like blood? As blood-red as in hell, facing the sun high above, the earth endures its most blazing anger.
The sand is not red. Under the burning sun, it looks as unreal as blood.
The boots feel hot when they step in the sand through the thick down. The thick down can keep you warm at night and insulate during the day. But the velvet boots no longer work here. The exposed velvet can be scorched by the sun. In such a dry and hot desert, the six monsters are unbearable. They may be able to withstand the burning of magic for a certain period of time, but they cannot withstand the continuous loss of body water. Some monsters, such as the Demon of the River, can The magic and its own functions temporarily protect the body, but it cannot protect it endlessly. There will always be times when it is tired and there will be times when it is difficult to maintain its magic power.
The six people all chose to recall the guardians into space. Although Yun Lei Xiaomao can summon dark clouds to temporarily cover the sky, by the same token, it will not last long.
Bing Zhixie followed her faith and wrapped herself tightly in clothes. The cryolite embedded in the robe did not play a big role at all. The cold air emitted had already dissipated in the foehn's heat wave before her body could feel the coolness. As a last resort, he could only activate the ice halo and wear an ice robe. Such two levels of magic caused the floodgates of his magic dam to flow. In such an environment, maintaining the continued existence of these two levels of magic would consume far more magic power and physical energy than usual. Even so, when the ice power of the ice halo was applied to the other five people in the group, there was not much left.
Syrio's azure metal armor is a breastplate called the 'Ice Coffin'. It is a primary treasure, as its name suggests. It absorbs the wearer's magic power and continuously releases ice. However, Syrio did not dare to activate this power all the time, and only cooled down himself and his surroundings when he really couldn't bear it.
It is still nine o'clock in the morning, not long after the sun has just risen, a sandstorm is rising in the distance again, the scale is shocking, a Category 15 hurricane makes it difficult to hold oneself in the wind, the sand dunes on the ground are almost a few seconds After a change, in front of the sand fans, I am still standing on the ridge of the hill, but behind my eyes, I may be at the bottom of two sand dunes, with yellow sand up to my chest.
The wind is even more unstable. The raging wind cannot be oriented for a long time. It turns south and east, spins suddenly, rises suddenly from the ground, and the air flow is unpredictable. Bing Zhixie thought that his control over the wind element was very good, but in such a messy wind, he was not confident that he could maintain his balance without being blown away. Such turbulent winds may be the consequences of the Wall of Scourge, which is far away, even though they can't see the location of the Wall of Scourge.
A sudden change in the direction of the wind blew up Solatum's goggles, and he immediately couldn't open his eyes. The scorching wind burned his eyes dry and stinging, and he was so scared that he quickly covered his eyes with his hands. He took out a water bag with his other hand and poured water over his eyes. The dry ice in his palm prevented the water from boiling and evaporating immediately, moistening his eye masks.
Garland grabbed the goggles that had been blown away by the wind and returned them to him. Solatum thanked him profusely after putting them on again. It is extremely dangerous to go without goggles when the wind blows here. The strong hot wind can quickly dry your eyes and blow off your eye masks. Their faces and skin were all smeared with toad bone fish ointment. Fish oil ointment is commonly used in the desert for sun protection and moisture locking, and toad bone fish ointment is the most effective, but it really has no effect here, so they still You have to cover your face with a cloth, wrap your head with a turban, and wear thick gloves on your hands. Because there is no place that is safe or where you can rest, even if the sun is blowing, you can only continue to move forward, just praying that you will not encounter any monsters in the wind and sand at this time.
The strong wind suddenly calmed down a little, and the six people who were bracing against the wind and sand could finally relax a little. They looked at each other and no one was left behind. After drinking the water, Bing Zhixie pushed up a layer of magical earth wall to temporarily block the remaining power of the wind and sand. Solatum quickly used space magic to take out a wooden bucket of water, unscrewed the water faucet on it, and six people and eighteen water bags took turns. Once it's full, put it back under the belt in your robe and fasten it. There is still some water left in the bucket and you can't waste it. Quickly use space magic to put it away.
The hot wind blew against the earth wall, and the magic earth wall was also constantly weathering. Bing Zhixie continued to strengthen his magic power. The six of them took advantage of this time to eat some dried meat wrapped in honey. The honey was in their luggage. The inside was roasted, and everyone stuffed the fish into their mouths together with the food wrapped in oily film capsules and chewed randomly. Even though swallowing made their throats strain, they could only swallow hard. "This is really not a place for people to come." Garland squinted and looked at the red sand in his eyes. The high temperature caused the air to be greatly distorted. No matter where he looked, there were waves twisting in front of his eyes.
This environment is really not suitable for talking, and no one is willing to talk, so there is almost no communication along the way. What should be communicated has been completed before stepping into this sea of death. After Syrio fed the Mo Fox who was hiding under the breastplate, he signaled that he could continue on his way.
The sandstorm in the distance did not roll towards them, but the turbulence in the air became stronger again, so Bing Zhixie removed the earthen wall and moved forward. Yes, they can only move forward on foot. There is a huge risk in flying into the wind easily. The sudden appearance of quicksand is also a hidden danger. The sand here flows too fast, even if they have such a People with strong adaptability may also be trapped in it.
They walked carefully step by step, with Silio, who had been there once before, leading the way. The lightest body and the most adaptable to the current environment, the Wind Palace reared up to play a good protective role.
The time passed from morning to afternoon. They had not rested for 24 hours and their physical strength was almost exhausted. They thought that if they persisted for a while, the sun was about to set. Suddenly, a strange picture appeared in the distance with their twisted and unreal sight. scene. They saw a piece of sea. A sea turtle as huge as an island was carrying a sea clam as huge as a hill. The sea clam opened its shell and slowly closed it. The sea turtle dived into the water and entered the dark deep sea. After a long time, suddenly some dark red light and shadow appeared, and a large amount of magma fell from the sky like a waterfall, rolling in an environment similar to the seabed. In the red flowing rock, three top masters were fighting in the ultimate battle. Among these three people, one held a flame blade, one held an ice blade, and the other could not tell what kind of weapon he was holding. The three of them all fought independently and regarded the other two as enemies.
This fierce battle shocked the six people watching Bing Zhixie. Their strength was all at the eighth level. The three of them fought until the lava rolled and the sea trembled. Just when the battle was about to be decided, the illusion suddenly disappeared, and everything disappeared like a mirage.
The six people covered their faces and looked at each other, obviously shocked by this spectacle. Several people looked at Hayate, who shook his head, saying that he had never encountered such a situation. Looking at Sirio again, Sirio was still immersed in the passionate battle just now. Shakhan signaled everyone to calm down and move on, waiting for the temperature to drop after dark before discussing.
