Because there is no distinction between the magnetic north and south poles in the underworld, Raymond set his current direction as north... Read the latest and most complete novel
But after leaving the swamp, I couldn't help scratching my head when I saw a land full of yellow sand in front of me.
According to the topographic map provided by the Siren Tribe, although there are only six swamps, there are only two places where the periphery of the swamp is desert!
One is the largest one, and it will take more than five days to cross at the current speed.
The other smaller one is closer to a dangerous place, and in the center is said to be an extremely strange and annoying existence: the Wraith of Sand.
The map obtained from the Siren tribe was originally a messy and incomplete map. Although it seemed that the explored territory was quite large, in fact many of the areas were obscured by shadows, and it was obvious that no detailed exploration had been carried out.
.
Moreover, there are no rules at all for the changes in the terrain of the underworld.
Beyond the swamp may be a wetland, or a vast desert, or even a long stretch of mountains without any buffer, leaving no basis for judgment before reaching its edge.
And the most troublesome thing for Raymond is that the deserts in the underworld are almost all quite huge, and the resentful sand spirits hidden in the deserts are also the most troublesome and difficult existence.
Sand Wraiths are solitary underworld creatures. Their bodies are made of countless gravels. Because their environment makes them nearly immortal, and their extremely strong territorial awareness will make anyone enter their territory.
outsiders are subjected to its unrelenting attacks.
The Wraith of the Sand does not have the core of an important artifact that ordinary Sandmen have. Its weakness is a special artifact buried in the desert, which is said to be extremely difficult to find!
Standing on the dividing line between the swamp and the desert, Raymond had the absolutely dark swamp behind him. But the desert in front of him had a faint light, allowing Raymond to vaguely see those things that looked like they were dry and lying, or even
Sparse plants buried in the gravel.
It's just that these plants that seem to be dry and dead plants are actually a kind of underworld creature called "vine of the dead" by the Siren tribe. Their strength is not high, but if they are inadvertently entangled,
Then you will suffer an attack similar to the 'paralysis' effect.
The sand dunes stretch without knowing where they end, and the undulations are not particularly large.
But Raymond slowed down as he started to move forward. He kept a distance of ten meters from the ground to avoid the undead vines that seemed to have been dead for an unknown period of time.
Because of the existence of the chip, Raymond can determine his direction based on the positioning of spatial coordinates. This saves the time spent by the Sirens in positioning.
But not long after he entered the desert, the originally undulating sand dunes began to rise.
Although most of the vines of the undead grew at the bottom of the dunes, some of the vines that appeared on the top of the dunes due to the slow changes in the position of the dunes began to have a certain impact on Raymond.
The undead vine in a static state is no different from an ordinary dead plant. But as long as it enters its attack range, the main trunk of the undead vine hidden under the gravel will rise up in vain and silently.
appeared around Raymond.
The undead vine that was originally dry and even cracked turned out to be like the most dexterous and tough long whip after being swung, and its surprisingly huge strength was completely different from what it appeared to be.
Therefore, when Raymond quickly crossed the dunes and encountered such an attack, he had to increase his flight altitude and continue to move towards the depths of the desert despite the extremely turbulent airflow in the desert.
Time passed slowly, and the surrounding environment gradually became brighter.
The desert of the underworld originally had a low light. With the increase in sand and gravel with strong radiation, the entire environment gradually became visible. However, the increase in brightness also brought new discoveries.
Most of the creatures in the underworld hate light and prefer darkness.
But there are still some special cases that can survive in various environments.
Therefore, soon after Raymond took off the green crystal piece that had been clamped on his left eye socket, with the faint light released by the gravel, he saw the most special creature in the underworld: the phantom.
butterfly!
The phantom butterfly has beautiful wings like a butterfly, and its facial features are similar to those of a childish woman. Although its body is between transparent and opaque, its graceful figure and elegant and graceful dancing posture can make it look like a butterfly.
People can't help but stop and stop after seeing it.
It is one of the very few phantom butterflies that is not actively aggressive. It has special protective capabilities because of the toxins it contains, and because the toxins it contains cannot be extracted, it will not attract attacks or captures.
The phantom butterflies, which have no sanity and almost rely on instinct to roam freely in the underworld, mostly appear in the depths of the desert, because their characteristics make them a symbol of safety.
Therefore, when he saw this long-renowned phantom butterfly belonging to the underworld, Raymond relaxed his tense nerves.
But just when he was about to get closer to watch its graceful dance, a sudden warning sign caused Raymond's protective barrier to suddenly expand outwards, and his body flashed away from a distance of more than ten meters!
However, Raymond, who was supposed to appear between the two sand dunes, crashed into the sand dune that was not there before, and dozens of undead vines burst out from the sand dunes.
It’s like building a prison to surround this sand dune!
Between the dry vines as thick as an adult's arm, there was a faint light flickering, and slender rhizomes like roots suddenly emerged from these vines and plunged into the sand dunes, like a
The sharp thorns pierced Raymond!
The unexpected attack surprised Raymond, who noticed a strange confining power around him when he crashed into the dune.
The squeezing isolation barrier around him forced a three-meter-diameter gap into the sand dune, and the stabs caused by the roots of the undead vine naturally had no effect on him.
, on the contrary, it allowed him to determine the location of those undead vines!
Lowering his body slightly, Raymond quickly rushed out of the sand dune with a brutal charge, and the many gravels he shot out instantly broke through the prison formed by the vines of the undead, causing the newly formed
The encirclement collapsed.
But Raymond, who suddenly grew taller, faced the desert beneath him and his pupils suddenly shrank.
He didn't pay too much attention when he was advancing among the sand dunes before, but when he looked down, he discovered that the seemingly similar-looking sand dunes below him actually had something strange in them!
Dozens of sand dunes twisting in a spiral shape toward the northwest formed a shape like a snail shell, and the phantom butterflies he had seen before seemed to be imprisoned in the center, unable to escape from it at all. Escape, waving its gorgeous wings like a dance, is actually a futile struggle.
The top of the sand dune that was just hit by Raymond was like a crater. At this moment, it began to heal silently. The many gravels rolled up from the bottom of the dune like mercury, as if filling the hole. The sand dune quickly returned to its original state, and the undead vines that were swiping wildly were buried in it again and disappeared completely.
Lei Meng, who was hovering in mid-air, felt his heart sink when he saw this.
But the strange changes here did not end there.
Just under those phantom butterflies, the rough and undulating ground surface seemed to be collapsing. As its overall brightness increased, a twisted face quickly condensed and took shape. The slowly opening There are no pupils inside the open eyelids, but two bottomless holes.
Realizing that he might have encountered the resentful spirit of the sand, Raymond immediately gave up the idea of leaving quickly.
Because if he cannot defeat the resentful sand spirit here, unless he immediately returns to the wizard plane to cut off the connection with the underworld, this extremely troublesome underworld creature will always follow him... (To be continued... )
