Lizardman marauders are famously fierce bandits in the desert. They will chase their enemies over long distances like hyenas, until their blades tear through the prey's body and they drink the hot blood. Ordinary humans cannot escape the pursuit of such creatures in the desert, even if

Even if they are riding horses, they cannot compare to the Lizardman Marauders in terms of endurance, unless they get some extra help.

"The Grease Trap"

"Speed ​​Travel Technique"

As a successful desert merchant, Santos Ben Zose's wealth is said to be able to buy half of the shops in the Grand Bazaar [1] in Nome City. The rumors may be a bit exaggerated, but the merchant leader's net worth is indeed rich, so he has several precious enchantments.

Equipment for self-defense. In addition to the "protective arrow stone" ring used in battle, when faced with the lizardmen chasing after him, he decisively used the escape magic enchanted on his boots. The "grease trap" can be placed along the way by magic when escaping.

The summoned trap laid with grease will cause the enemy to lose balance and fall if he steps on the trap while running fast, which plays a role in blocking the enemy. The "Speed ​​Movement" can allow Santos to escape in an hourglass or so.

Traveling at the speed of a galloping horse.

With the help of the enchanted equipment, Santos ran quickly on the sand ridge where there were no ambush easily. Although with the help of magic, he would still fall down and roll down like a spherical object from time to time. He had no time to think about his embarrassing appearance, Santos knew

The effect of magic is limited by time. You are not a spellcaster. You cannot memorize spells or use obsidian beads to charge enchanted equipment. If you cannot get rid of the lizard raiders in an hourglass, your life will be in danger.

There is no more.

"These damn green-skinned reptiles must be for those Skooma, they may know more," Santos tightened the scroll tube that had been wrapped around his waist, even while running for his life.

He is also always concerned about its safety, as if it is its life: "If it weren't for the enchanting formula to be delivered to Nolin on time, the caravan would not have to rush like this at all, and it would not be trapped in an ambush by the green skins!

"

In fact, the value of the papyrus and silk fabrics transported by the "Sand Rhinoceros Caravan" this time can only offset the losses caused by the risky detour, and may even cause losses. The real profit is the entrained items.

The prohibited item "Scuma", a small bottle of this potion costs 30 Silver Kates! And a strong slave with the Beit emblem only costs 5 Silver Kates.

This Skuma potion was spread from Coptic, the most chaotic city in the desert. Legend has it that it was an alchemical potion invented by a powerful lich. This potion was once presented to the Pharaoh as a hobby tribute, but it was

Dawei Shu'er (prime minister) saw through the conspiracy. Skuma potion can stimulate people's energy, giving people a short-term energy-increasing effect and a false effect. It is a little helpful for spellcasting and fighting, and can also relieve the pain of physical injuries, but the side effects are

It will bring great addiction, and long-term use of this medicine will gradually destroy the body of the user. The furious Daweishuer personally led the casters to uncover the lich hiding in Coptic and extinguished his soul.

The fire also shattered the phylactery he had hidden for resurrection and soaked it in the cesspit to warn the world. As a contraband, the Skuma potion was strictly prohibited from being manufactured, transported, and eaten by all Medici people.

But capital is afraid of no profit or too little profit, just like nature is afraid of a vacuum. With 50% profit, it will take desperate risks; for 100% profit, it will trample all human laws; with 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime.

.So since the day Skuma was born, there have been businessmen willing to take risks to defy the laws of the empire for this depraved "commodity". Of course, this is only in private.

"If I hadn't been caught in a sandstorm last time when I was traveling, and a batch of expensive spices from the Nome Archon family had been buried, and I had to pay so much compensation and fines, I wouldn't have been reduced to contacting those criminals.

To earn all this damn blood money. Damn the sandstorm, the damn Archon family, the blazing sun, curse you!" Although a few weeks have passed, Santos still cannot forget that he was exiled from the Coptic city.

The scene in the City of Sinners when he came into contact with the supply of Skuma.

Dim crypt-like houses, like raised tombs, are scattered throughout the city. From the outside, it looks like a city of endless tombs. The Coptic city is said to be a paradise for ancient halflings. It was only later due to desertification.

, the halflings moved away from the clean and tidy cave houses, leaving only the remaining cave-like buildings. After a few years, it turned into a terrifying city similar to a cemetery. Later, the Medici Empire moved criminal prisoners

Exiled to this city and left to fend for itself, for hundreds of years this city with sin flowing from its bones has become the most chaotic source of evil in the entire empire! However, this city also has such strange prosperity, and various

All kinds of evil transactions can be found here. Evil creatures such as warlocks, blasphemous warriors, trolls, and even wights and lichs can all find hiding places in Coptic. This city is the only city without archons and city guards.

Every year, the most terrifying tornado in the desert sweeps through this city. Except for the short and cramped cave houses left by the ancient halflings, no city building can remain intact.

Santos Benzouse brings caravans to this abnormally prosperous city every year, but only completes the delivery of goods in some peripheral bazaars. But this time he had to entrust a local to get the supply of Skuma.

After being introduced by a foreign businessman who always traded with him, he came into contact with the underground chamber of commerce that sold Skooma, and traded it for a hundred Skooma and an enchanted scroll that could purify Skooma to make another new type of corrupted potion "Moon Sugar"

.

That alien businessman is a lizard man! "Curse these disgusting and treacherous green-skinned reptiles! May the egg shells of your descendants burst! May your tribe be attacked by all races! May your drinking water dry up! May you..."

The merchant may have been a good warrior when he was young, but he was not a spellcaster, so the curse could not have the effect of harming the enemy, and the abuse in his heart and mouth could not change his physical strength, which was gradually declining, and his whole body was wet with sweat.

The pace gradually slowed down.

The lizard raiders who were chasing him were much better. At least their endurance was much better than that of the fat businessman. In the desert, these nomads chased him for nearly an hour under the scorching sun.

Instead of being thrown away by Santos, after the magical effect of the enchanted boots disappeared, the distance between the two was gradually smoothed.

"Damn it, we have to find a way. If we catch up, we'll be dead..."

The pursuer moved forward vigorously, while the pursued hurriedly ran for his life. This was a battle of patience that drained the body of water. The lizard man raider had drawn out his sickle sword and was ready to drink blood. The pursued businessman stopped.

Breathing heavily to regain his strength, he drew out his scimitar and prepared for a final blow.

Just when the battle was about to break out, shadows covered the sky above them.

"Is it the clouds that cover the blazing sun?"

"It's a dragon! It's the tyrant's clan! The blue dragon is coming!"

Lizardmen warriors who need to blink their nictitating membranes from time to time to moisten their eyes dare not blink. Even if they are immersed in the emotion of killing, they will never forget what is the top creature in the food chain of the land under their feet. Waving

The weapon owner secretly threw the weapon on the sand. All the warriors' legs and bows were slightly bent. They did not want to escape. Even if they escaped into the sand and moved forward, they would not be able to escape the attack of a dragon. This move was inherited from the tribe's past experiences.

The ancestors who escaped from Longkou left behind experience: facing a giant dragon, the best way to escape is to kneel down and use fear to satisfy the pride of the powerful predator in exchange for survival.

However, Quess, who came above the heads of both sides, obviously did not want to show mercy and mercy. He flew here just to cover up the traces of the exploration ruins left by the Rattlesaurus family again. In fact, he was thinking about the place where the battery was found halfway on the way.

If it's too important, then maybe that rattlesaurus should be on his hunting list after he returns. "This is called finishing."

The dragon's breath plowed through the formation of the lizard-men marauders, and the strong and deadly electric current directly penetrated the tough skin of these nomads. Those who faced the dragon's breath directly, from the outside to the inside, penetrated deep into the internal organs, and the electric current burned them.

Roasted to charred ashes, the lizard man who was a little further away struggled to burrow into the sand to escape under the strong vitality, enduring the paralysis caused by the electric current.

"There is still an age limit. Even if the body is strong enough, the dragon's breath is still not strong enough, and you still need to continue practicing. There are still unlucky people who slip through the net. It's a pity that they will suffer twice."

For the sixth-level energy evocation magic "Serial Lightning", Ques used his dragon claws to humanize and snap his fingers, and a blue-light electric grid crackled.
