Maybe it was because the weather was too hot. At this time, let alone danger, even if you used the magic skill Eye of the Eagle, you could not see a living creature on the surface. But even so, these brothers Shamin and Zheng Yanbo were still very careful to send personnel to take turns to defend, especially under the sand. From time to time, they would lie down and listen to whether there was any movement with their ears.

Compared with the foreseeable dangers on the ground, in fact, the threat underground in the desert is also very deadly. Whether it is a sand scorpion and stinger of all sizes, they will suddenly rush up to deal with a fatal blow to the enemy.

In order to deal with these dangers, these sand people actually had a simpler way to use listening. After arranging the defense personnel, they took down several small cages from the camel horse, and there were several desert moles inside. Their sense of smell and hearing were beyond people's imagination, because they were extremely sensitive to danger. Put them on the ground. Once danger comes, whether from the surface or underground, their harsh screams will remind them.

Seeing these sand people put these small cages containing desert moles around the team, and there was a sunshade cloth on them. Seeing the fun Li Ran and others, they couldn't help but smile. Huan Bing Nannan and Qian Hui even took some vegetable leaves and small meat from the camel horse and walked over.

After taking a nap and avoiding the hot sun at noon, Li Ran's team also began to act. At the same time, in order to reach the first sentry station ahead, Zheng Yanbo and his brothers also urged everyone to speed up.

Perhaps because they were closer to the border town, in the next two days, except for taking turns to go off the line and having a sleep in the evening and meeting some sand wolves and a small number of sand scorpions, they did not encounter any real dangers along the way.

But on the afternoon of the third day, they encountered a sandstorm. Fortunately, the camel horse and the desert giant lizard had already mentioned their premonitions. Li Ran and others also prepared in advance under the reminder of the two brothers Zheng Yanbo. After finding a shelter and comforting the camel horses, no major casualties were caused. But even so, a camel horse was still bitten by the desert giant scorpion that appeared in the sandstorm. If the elf druid had not been present and detoxified and healed it in time, the camel horse would have been given up.

I don’t know if it was because of the reason for the exhaustion of luck, they were attacked by another group of sand wolves that night. Although these sand wolves only had more than 100 and their strength was only at mid-to-high level, they suddenly attacked at night, which really scared Li Ran and others.

Moreover, these sand wolves were very smart. The direction they chose to attack was the headwind of the team. There was no smell coming before the sneak attack, and even the mounts of the camel horses and the sand lizard cavalry did not feel it. If the desert moles hadn't screamed a few times in advance, it might have been the result of the two camel horses being killed and dragged away.

Fortunately, everyone reacted in time. After killing more than a dozen sand wolves, these guys chose to retreat when they saw that the other party was in a big way. The pale green eyes drew short traces in the distant night sky.

Let several thinner elves ride on the same camel horse, and everyone started traveling far in the morning, but not far away. The younger brother Zheng Yanbo looked at the dark clouds in the distance, and suddenly screamed at the sand locust after a while!

Hearing his scream, even the always brave Sand Lizard Knight hurriedly jumped off his mount, pulled off huge leather from the hunchback, wrapped himself and his mount, and then kept sprinkling sand on it, waiting until he almost rushed in.

Because he had already obtained a solution from Zheng Yanbo and his brothers, Li Ran and others hurriedly dismounted. According to the method of the Sand Lizard Knight, they first covered the sand camels that were lying on the ground under the command of the Shatula's hand, and then they also fabricated themselves and buried themselves in with sand.

After a few minutes, they heard the sound of a plane roaring on their heads. It wasn't that a few sand locusts fell between the gravels on their bodies. It took more than ten minutes and felt that they could not hear this sound. Only then did everyone dare to stick their heads out quietly and breathe a sigh of relief.

Although I don’t know how many sand locusts there are, it took nearly ten minutes to listen to the sound of them flying over their heads. The teammates, including Li Ran, all burst into cold sweats, especially when they saw some sand locusts that could not fly on the way, they were even more shocked.

These creatures with a somewhat similar shape to the locusts in reality are small as big as a cutting board for cutting vegetables, but the largest one is actually as big as a tabletop, and its strength reaches the level of a high-level army.

Although after the introduction of those sand people, those who have reached the high level of desktop strength have been more than ten years of sand locusts, which are rare in sand locust swarms. Most ordinary sand locusts are only at medium and low level, but just thinking about that scale is terrifying.

Fortunately, all these guys did was just instinctively searching for food and would not maliciously attack the city, otherwise these sand locusts alone would make this desert a barren land.

The benefit they brought was that in the following days, in addition to the corpses of living things seen along the way, including a pack of sand wolves of nearly a thousand. Li Ran and others never encountered dangerous creatures again, making the travel speed much faster.

That afternoon, they finally arrived at an oasis town, built on the mountain, with a small lake surrounded by green trees and even the climate is not as hot as outside. It is hard to imagine that there will be such a place in the desert.

What surprised Li Ran and others even more was that there were thousands of cactus trees that were more than ten meters tall and looked very terrifying, like a natural barrier surrounding this small town in the desert.

They are said to be terrifying mainly because of their shape. Although they have the same name as the cactus in reality, they are actually a giant tree with thick roots. In addition to some branches, they are covered with countless long or short spikes. Some taller cactus trees have strangely grown a human-like face.

At the same time, there were more or less corpses of various creatures hanging on their trunks. I don’t know whether it was because of the scorching wind and sand or the work of these cactus trees. At this time, only one skin was left of these creatures, which was very scary as the breeze moved.

Fortunately, through the introduction of Zheng Yanbo and Sha Min, he knew that these strange trees would not attack the people coming in at will, so when Li Ran and others saw these people passing by indifferently, they followed carefully behind and walked in carefully.

For the desert, there are creatures where there are water, and there are struggles where there are creatures. Before, I saw this oasis town from a distance and felt so beautiful and mysterious, but when I came here, I was shocked by these terrifying cactus trees. Next, when they came in, there was a strong smell of blood and noise coming towards me.

When I looked at it, I saw a group of people making noise in the distance. Several sand warriors were waving the swords and maces in their hands, chasing a half-orc. The half-orc may have been a warrior before, and he was covered in blood at this moment. After being penetrated by the sand warrior arrows, although his face was full of horror, he sat on the ground and still danced with his sword, which was not an attempt to gain a glimmer of hope. At the same time, he was holding a cloth bag tightly with his left hand.

"Little Zach, hand over the things. For the sake of cooperation in the past, I will let you have a life today." Seeing the orc sneered and fell to the ground with a calves, the sand warriors couldn't help but sneer and surrounded him.

It seemed that they had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. At this time, the people around them not only did not come forward to dissuade them, but instead shouted excitedly after seeing the orc being shot to the ground.

At this time, the young orc might also know that he could not escape today. He shouted at the leader of the Shamin warrior who had just spoken: "Husian, you shameless bastard who forges profit and righteousness, for a blood-wailing diamond, you actually poisoned us. Our leader even treated you as a friend. One day you will be hung on the thorn tree."

Knowing that what he said about hanging on the thorn tree refers to the corpses on the cactus trees outside the town just now. It is rumored that they were killed by these cactus trees and hung on them for ten days. His soul will be imprisoned on this tree and will never return to the embrace of the God of Faith. This is another reason why many sand people and desert natives dare not provoke these cactus trees, so what this orc said is also a curse.

So after hearing the words of Zach's orc, the leader of the Shamin warrior opposite him also looked cold and took the weapon of the archer beside him and aimed it at the orc with an arrow. Perhaps because the archery technique was not very good. He wanted to shoot an arrow in his throat, but it hit the orc's left shoulder, causing him to suffer pain. The cloth bag in his hand fell down, and an egg-sized diamond slipped out of it.

Seeing this huge diamond, there were faint blood lines lingering on it. Everyone who found that it was a top-quality blood-wailing stone couldn't help but take a deep breath, and even greedy eyes showed their eyes. If it weren't for fear of this powerful mercenary group, they would have stepped forward to snatch it long ago.

Such a huge and magnificent bloodstone is definitely the best bloodstone. No wonder Husian took the slaying attack. At this time, the onlookers couldn't help but understand the reason. He was the brave and even had the impulse to snatch it. As long as he grabbed the bloodstone and rushed out of the town to escape the pursuit of this mercenary group, he would have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

Maybe they saw the abnormal movements of people around them. Even the two brothers Hu Yanbo couldn't help but reach out to hold the weapon. You must know that after taking the bloodshot stone, they would definitely earn a lot of money on the entrusted task this time. In addition, they believed that as long as they got it, they would definitely have more than 50% chance to escape, so they were also a little moved.
