Chapter 292 Dangerous Secret Realm
The sandstorm came and went quickly. In just two minutes, the outside returned to calm.
Of course, Mou Ning told everyone this news, because in less than a minute, the armored vehicle had been completely buried in the sand, and it was pitch black outside the window. It was impossible to hear or see, and it was impossible to judge the external environment.
Just in case, five minutes after the sandstorm left, Rolf restarted the armored vehicle and used the robotic arm to dig it out from under the sand. But the wheels, hatch covers, cameras, and other places with gaps are filled with sand and need to be cleaned.
While cleaning up the sand, everyone got out of the car to get some air. They noticed that the armor plate was full of messy scratches, and almost no intact piece of paint could be found. I remember that when Rolf first took it out, the whole car was as clean as new. Who would have thought that after a sandstorm, it would have such a perfect aged effect...
"Damn it, I just took care of it!" Rolf cursed while cleaning up: "When I go back, I will be blackmailed by Old John and endure his ridicule!"
"Aoife Miss Lia." Jin Fei stroked the frosted armor, "We have a car. How did you deal with sandstorms of this scale when you explored the central area before?" "It doesn't happen every time." Ophelia said: "I encountered it three times. I lost half of my teammates once, and I prepared an energy shield to carry it through."
"Then the first time I lost half of my teammates." Three times?" Jin Fei asked.
"The third time..." Ophelia turned her head slightly and glanced at Jin Fei: "Didn't you just see it?"
"You have an energy shield?" Rolf, who was cleaning the sand, said dissatisfied: "Then why don't you take it out?"
"You didn't ask either." Ophelia said lightly: "And you I said that I am very confident in the protection of the armored vehicle. If it cannot be protected, I will take out the energy shield."
As she said that, she also looked at the armored vehicle full of scars: "Better than me. It's as strong as expected and should be able to hold up to the destination."
As he spoke, Mou Ning's reminder came from the distance.
“There was an unusual noise coming from the ground. There was something quite big coming from the ground to the south!”
Is it a monster? !
Everyone immediately became alert, Ophelia asked: "Size? Shape?"
"A cylindrical shape about fifty meters long."
"Everything remains the same. "Quiet!" Ophelia reminded: "Don't move at all!"
Everyone became quiet after hearing this. Sure enough, after a while, they saw some signs of depression in the sand in the south, and it was getting bigger and bigger. As we got closer, it seemed like something had hollowed out a tunnel underneath and collapsed all the way.
Soon, the trace of the depression passed under everyone's feet. Even if the sand sank piece by piece, everyone remained motionless, like a piece of stone.
The trace did not stop and went all the way to the north.
Seeing that it had gone away, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Ottos curled his lips, stepped out of the sunken sand, and walked towards Ophelia: "What is that thing?"
"I said don't move!"
Ophelia blurted out!
As soon as he finished speaking, Mou Ning reminded: "That thing has turned back!" "What?" Everyone was stunned and turned to look to the north. They saw the sand suddenly exploded, and a huge flesh worm emerged from the ground and twisted. Moving and coming quickly!
As Mou Ning said, this bug is forty to fifty meters long and five to six meters thick. It has a wide mouth filled with fine and sharp teeth, like a train coming from behind. Racing across the sand!
"What kind of monster is that?" Rolf was startled and immediately took out a sledgehammer from the treasure box.
“Those are death worms.” Ophelia explained: “Monsters unique to the central area of Helub. They have no vision and rely on sensing vibrations on the sand to locate their prey. They drill through the ground and leave behind The depressions are the traces of their loose sand that facilitate the transmission of vibrations. Once prey steps on them, they will be alerted. ”
"Then if we step on the depression, we won't be able to move forever?" Ma Lei, a short-haired woman, frowned.
"Their sensing range is up to one kilometer. Once it is far enough away, we can move around freely."
"This kind of thing should have been said earlier!" Ottos snorted coldly. , shaking his hands, he threw out two recurve scimitars and rushed towards the death worm: "I caused the trouble myself, I will take care of it myself, just watch it honestly!"
Facing the huge monster Ottos was not afraid of the monster, and when he saw it rushing forward, he swayed, jumped up high, and slashed at it with the two knives in his hands.
Everyone frowned slightly when they saw this. It was a huge monster dozens of meters long. With only two daggers over two feet long, how effective would it be to hit it?
Soon, Altos hit the death worm's head in the air. While flashing his sharp teeth, he slashed hard with his two knives, leaving two wounds on the edge of the death worm's mouthparts.
"That's it?" Before anyone could complain, the corners of Altus's mouth in the air raised slightly, and then he saw the two wounds began to expand crazily, as if there were two invisible blades going down. Split!
The wound expanded to more than ten meters, dividing the upper half of the huge death worm into three forks, and yellow-green body fluids spilled out.
However, this monster has extremely tenacious vitality. Even after being severely injured, it still did not die. It twisted its body, screamed in pain, and continued to attack with its forked head.
Seeing this, Ottos nimbly dodged away, and swayed to the side of the worm. He used his two knives again, leaving two more wounds on the worm's body. Then the wounds expanded instantly, directly cutting the giant worm into pieces. There are three sections... Of course, the middle section is very short, like a piece of sausage lying on the ground.
Altus' attack continued, leaving new wounds on the insect's body. These wounds were cut with little force and looked inconspicuous. They were just broken skin. But once formed, they would instantly expand dozens or hundreds of times, causing serious damage!
In an instant, under the knife of Altos, the huge death worm was cut into pieces. The yellow-green body fluids and internal organs were sprinkled on the dry and hot sand, and pieces of thick body tissue , also because the remaining nerves are beating slightly.
Looking at Altus again, he landed lightly on the ground, shook his hands, shook off the blood on the blade, sheathed the knife, and walked back proudly.
"With its huge size, it is just a paper tiger." Altus sneered: "Is this the monster in the central desert? That's all..."
"A single death worm is indeed a threat Not big." Olivia said calmly: "The reason why I remind everyone to be careful is because these things often appear in groups."
Before she finished speaking, Mou Ning turned her head and looked to the south: "Here we go again, this time... there are a lot of them!"
Everyone turned around and saw a large area of the sky on the dividing line between the sky and the desert. The sand collapsed...
