Chapter 92

A full moon shines on the silent desert. Looking around, there are only undulating sand dunes, boundless open space, not to mention human shadow, not to mention a grass. Amun stood there with his back, frowned and asked, "have you noticed anything?"

Medanzo frowned. After listening for a while, he said, "the rustling sound is still a little buzzing. It's like something hard rubbing against the sand. But I can't really hear it. Where do you hear it?"

Amun took out a staff out of thin air with a wave. Seven sacred stones were inlaid on the staff body. It was the one obtained from the hand of the Lord lington. He handed it to medanzo and said, "take it. This staff belongs to you, and then use the detection divinity to investigate the situation."

Medanzo took it and said with surprise and joy, "well, isn't this the same as link's staff? My God Amun, how generous you are

Amun said with a wry smile: "don't be happy too early. Take the staff and prepare to fight. Haven't you figured out the situation yet?"

With this wand in his hand, madanzo's detection magic power doubled. He immediately exclaimed, "no, these sounds are coming from under the sand dunes. There are countless scorpions approaching from all directions. We are surrounded."

As he spoke, Amun suddenly put the iron staff in his hand heavily, and inserted it deeply into the sand. A force of impact rippled through the depths of the ground. Then he drank: "medanzo, look at you!"

From the sky, the place where Amun and medanzo stood became a circular island in the black tide, which was the result of Amun's Fabricius forcing all scorpions back from the ground.

These scorpions are close to a foot long, holding double tongs and long tails with poisonous hooks. They look terrible. If there are only one or two scorpions, they may be trampled to death by raising their feet. Even if they are accidentally stabbed by poisonous hooks, they will not be fatal. But thousands of poisonous scorpions will be frightened no matter who sees them.

However, medanzo did not fear. He drank and waved his new staff. A whirlwind rose and a whirlwind swept out with sand. The sand blown by the wind is like a tiny needle tip, which is also mixed with countless indistinguishable wind blades. The hard shell of the oncoming Scorpion was broken by sand, and its body and claws were cut off by the wind blade, leaving a remnant corpse on the ground. Some scorpions are broken in half, and their incomplete bodies are still struggling and twisting.

This aggressive, large-scale Qi elemental divinity was really powerful, but desert scorpions did not shrink back because of the death of their companions, and the scorpions in the back came up again and again with their corpses all over the ground. Amun did not hand, only said: "these scorpions are very big, the shell is very hard, using the gas element magic is too hard."

Medanzo immediately smashed his staff. In the whirlwind, a bright fire silk appeared. The fire silk instantly turned into a flying fire dragon and circled among the sand dunes. The remnant body of the Scorpion was first ignited, and then the scorpions coming from behind twisted and rolled in the sea of fire, burning into coke and ashes. All around the light smoke, mixed with a foul smell smell.

Amun said again: "scorpions have venom in their bodies. So much venom volatilizes around us. The smoke will be very poisonous."

There is no need for Amun to remind him that while performing the sea of fire, the whirlwind does not stop, but blows out smoke. These scorpions seem to be very fire-resistant. Many of them are still struggling to climb close with fire and smoke. They are chopped by wind blades not far away. Medanzo is now performing two kinds of large-scale medium level magic arts at the same time.

After a while, he called out, "Amun, have we got into the scorpion's nest? It's unnecessary to spend so much time. Why should we be besieged by a group of scorpions? Just go, and the speed of scorpions can't catch up with us. "

Amun pulled out his staff and put up his tent. He nodded and said, "let's go. You can break through."

Medanzo pointed his staff forward, and the whirlwind gathered in a straight line and sped out, blowing a wide ditch between the sand, and the scorpions were rolled down on both sides. The flame disappeared and turned into a cold. The nearby scorpions were stiff on the ground, and the scorpions farther away seemed to be affected by the cold and became slow. Medanzo took the opportunity to stride forward, and Amun followed with his leather bag.

It's hard and thankless to perform water elemental divination in the dry desert. However, the freezing technique combined with the wind shuttle technique is a good way to deal with these scorpions. It may not kill them, but as long as they are prevented from moving, they can break through the swarms of scorpions.

The two walked slowly among the scorpions. The forefinger of medanzo's staff opened the way. When the sky was dim, the scorpions around them had become rare, and there were still endless white sand dunes on all sides. Medanzo finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Amun and said, "how can you come up with so many poisonous scorpions? Have you met with them before?"

Amun shook his head: "there are poisonous scorpions in the desert. Some people have been bitten and killed accidentally. I've heard of them since I was a child, but I've never heard of so many scorpions. Maybe the environment has changed after the flood."

Medanzo frowned: "these scorpions are obviously too big and look very poisonous. They are not ordinary sand scorpions?" Suddenly, he stamped his foot, trampled on a scorpion that suddenly came out of the sand and scolded: "how can there be, endless!"Amun suddenly thought of one thing and said in a deep voice: "I heard about this monster before I came here. It seems that these scorpions are also one of the monsters. In Isis temple, I have seen a volume of myth and legend called "land of Marduk". It records that DUK town was once the battlefield of the battle of the gods. Long ago, nine kinds of monsters were created by gods to help fight. They are nine monster snakes, swamp giant snakes, scorpion tailed Dragons, sea monsters, giant lions, three vicious dogs, human faced scorpions, enchanting mermaids, and wild and wild cattle. "

Medanzo: "nine headed snakes? Isn't that humbaba, the God of the Euphrates? It is said that he was the gatekeeper of enril, who was slaughtered by Gilgamesh and enqi not long ago

Amun nodded his head and said: "the nine headed monster snake is probably hunbaba. It should have been conquered by enril in that war and became the gatekeeper of the divine realm. Although humbaba is dead, it still has many descendants, which I met in the Euphrates. Hunbaba has offspring, and other monsters may not be absent. Among the nine kinds of monsters, there are scorpions with human faces, and the scorpions we meet may be its descendants. "

"Then we have to be careful. We can't say what kind of poisonous animals we will encounter."

Amun nodded again: "yes, if we encounter no need to entangle, we can avoid as far as possible. We are not here to eliminate the monster, it is impossible for us to rely on both of us. We just want to investigate the situation here and get to Duke town as soon as possible."

As they moved on, their speed slowed down. The desert was full of poisonous scorpions, which suddenly emerged from the sand, sometimes in groups, sometimes only five or six. Almost every day, he had to experience several encounters, large and small, and medanzo was almost stung by scorpions. Amun just followed behind and didn't do anything. He let medanzo deal with it. After seven or eight days of walking, sparse grass could be seen in the desert.

Amun asked, "can you make it, madanzo?"

Medanzo breathed a few breaths: "since I began to practice divine arts, I have not performed more than these days. My opponent is just a scorpion, but I can't stand it. Maybe it will come out sometime. If you had not been around all the time, I would not have been able to stand it if I had not been with you all the time. "

……

On the same day that Amun and medanzo decided to turn from the commercial road to the north, there were three people in the temple of enril in the distant city of Syria, an old man and his two young disciples.

There was no change in Gore's appearance. He had a goatee and wrinkled face, but his eyes seemed to be clearer and deeper than two years ago. He said to Raphael, "during this period of time, did your cultivation of divine power persist all the time and never stop?"

Raphael replied: "the cultivation of divinity is my hobby since I was a child. I have been used to it. Two years ago, my teacher sent me to Duke town to investigate the terrain. Because of the accident, there was no practice for a period of time, but it has never been interrupted since then."

Ge lie asked: "half a year ago, I sent you to the Black Fire Swamp again to investigate the presence of monsters there. It's much more dangerous than the task of two years ago. Have you not interrupted the cultivation of divinity?"

Raphael respectfully replied, "yes, under your instruction, this has become a kind of self-consciousness. I don't have to remind myself what to do. I will do it every day. Basic meditation is also a way to restore mana. Only in this way can I persist in that dangerous environment and finally complete the task assigned by the teacher

Ge lie laughed and asked, "young man, do you know why you can always save yourself from danger in such a dangerous environment?"

Raphael showed a look of thinking: "I also had doubts in my heart. There were several times when the encounter was really dangerous, but it was always safe, as if there was a God in the protection."

Ge lie smiles and shakes his head and says, "maybe you really got the favor of the gods, but the one who protected you at that time was hualaite. I specially sent him to follow you secretly, but you didn't know."

Raphael was surprised. He stood up and said to Walter, "you are protecting me. You should have saved me several times. Why don't you tell me?"

"The teacher didn't let me speak at that time," Wallett said with a smile

Raphael knelt down and saluted: "even if I didn't say it at that time, I've finished the task for half a year. You haven't mentioned a word for such a long time. You have quietly saved me so many times, but I haven't expressed my gratitude."

Wallett still smiles: "this is what I should do and what I am willing to do. If the teacher doesn't let me say it, then don't say it. Since the teacher said it today, let's say it.". I'm just finishing the task, and I don't ask for any thanks. Of course, I accept your thanks at the moment. Get up, my brother He pulled Raphael up.

Gerry looked at Wallett again and said, "it's a good mood. I didn't tell Raphael on purpose in the past six months, and you didn't take it to heart. Wallett, have you ever thought about when you will become a great magician? I have taught many students in the kingdom of hathi, but you are the one who is most likely to become a great magician. "

Hua Laite, the sixth level magician, modestly replied, "this is not a question I want to think about. I'm afraid all the magicians on the mainland hope to be able to take this step, but this is not a wish out of thin air. In the face of this goal, I can only decide how to do it, and I don't think much about it. "Ge lie nodded with satisfaction: "very good, I hope you are consistent, really can do it. This time, I will send you two on a mission to cross the Syriac desert together, and then go to the Uruk city states of balun and the Cape city states of eju, and send a secret letter to the two city lords, Gilgamesh and rod Dick, and come back after you get an answer, no matter what

The nine level master of divinity took out two sealed small leather tubes and handed them to the students. He said, "you can't open them. The contents of the letter may cause problems. If you have any problems, you can solve them by yourself and come to see me with a reply.

Now there are still some troubles in crossing the desert of Syria. You should try not to fight with those powerful monsters, and make sure you pass safely. Here are some scrolls and a magic weapon. If you are threatened by life, Wallett, you can control it and escape with Raphael. But this is also a trial journey. You can't use scrolls and flying magic weapons until the last critical moment. "

……

Amun and medanzo have come to the edge of the desert. From time to time, we can see the growth of cold resistant grass on the sand dunes. If we calculate the distance, we can reach the Inland Lake in another day. This grassy dune is also the most suitable environment for scorpions to grow. Medanzo could not help raising his vigilance, but after walking for most of the day, he did not see any scorpions. He could not help sighing: "it's really strange today. Why didn't you see a scorpion?"

Amun laughed: "these days you have not let the scorpion bored, do you still want to meet a group of scorpions?"

"I don't mean that. I'd like to relax. I'm worried. I don't see any movement in the place where scorpions are most likely to be met. It's better to have a fight and get out of here as soon as possible."

Amun: "the invisible enemy is the most dangerous enemy. This feeling really torments people. But you have to be prepared. Even if we get out of the desert and get rid of scorpions, there may be something waiting ahead. Maybe it is more difficult to deal with than scorpions Yeah? There are traces in the sand over there. What is it

There were strange marks on the sand dunes ahead, just like the waves on the water. Medanzo approached and looked down and took a breath of cold air: "I can't be more familiar with this trace in recent days. It's the footprints of scorpions crawling through the sand. But these scorpions are too big. I'm afraid each of them is more than three feet long! It seems that they are all heading in one direction. What happened? Take advantage of this opportunity, let's go

Amun waved his hand: "don't worry. Let me see what those scorpions are doing. It's safer to find out."

He took out a magic weapon inlaid in the golden base, which was the "lamp of chasing the dead" which was the relic of vitruh. Standing in front of those traces, he held the lamp and gently shook the staff. The stone inlaid in the lamp core scattered a circular aperture. The scene in the aperture was constantly changing, as if it was chasing the footprints of scorpions on the sand dune.

I don't know how many sand dunes have been crossed. The light and shadow are already tens of miles away. Amun and medanzo saw a group of huge scorpions, each of which is three feet long from the pincers to the tail. The shell of the whole body is black and shiny like hard armor. The high hook tail tip also ejects light blue flame from time to time. It is a terrible mutant giant scorpion.

The flame emitted from the tail of the hook is in a straight line, which can attack far away targets. It is the venom that burns after spraying. It is not only poisonous, but also accompanied by high temperature. If it is touched with a little, it is fatal. These scorpions do not always spray venom, but form a formation similar to the formation of an army, protect each other and attack each other in a staggered manner. They can only attack when they have a chance. The most dangerous weapons in the near future are the big claws and the crochets on the long tail.

There are hundreds of scorpions, all of them are this kind of variation giant scorpion, which makes people's scalp numb. There are two young people surrounded by the scorpion group. They are both magicians with their hands waving their staff. They have deep magic power and excellent means. They can perform various defense and attack skills in a wide range, and they are very skillful in advancing and retreating. The older one is the main attack, and the other is the very young one. He moves around in a circle, but he can't break through.

Around them and on the road they once walked, there were nearly 100 corpses of giant scorpions, some of them were burnt, some were cut into pieces, some were frozen into ice, some were obviously cracked by a huge force, and the two magicians did not know how many kinds of magic they had changed.

Amun shook the staff in his hand, and the light and shadow of chasing the dead lamp expanded rapidly. What he focused on was the corpses of those mutated giant scorpions. Two days ago, he and medanzo also encountered scorpions. The effects of various magic attacks are very clear. If the scorpion is burned by the high temperature of fire elemental magic, the Scorpion will turn to ashes, and the hard shell left behind is also coke like.

But look at the mutant scorpions that have been burned. Their pincers and tail needles are intact, shining between the sand and the ashes of their bodies. The effect of fire elemental magic attack is not very good, and it will ignite poisonous smoke. After the two magicians tried, they changed their methods, and the scorpion corpses left later were destroyed by other divinities.

Whether it's space cutting or wind blade explosion, the body of the scorpion should be split. But amon also found that there was a hard shell about the size of a palm on the back of the mutated giant scorpion. The hardness of the shell can be imagined. The pincers, tail needles, and back armour of these mutant scorpions are all good materials for processing weapons or magical objects. It is even more rare to have such a large quantity. As a descendant of Nietzsche, Amun thought of it in a flash."Is there anyone else walking across the desert like us?" he asked in surprise? They met big guys. These giant scorpions are not easy to deal with. They can even attack from a long distance! God Amun, can we help you
