Benedy pointed an index finger at the sand at his feet and said, "There is a kind of monster. Did you forget to mention it?"
"Monster?" For a moment, the grooms and passengers around him looked at their feet as if their feet were burning.
"Oh? It seems you know a lot. This is not the first time this guest has come to the Eastern Desert, right?" Del narrowed his eyes and looked at Benedy.
"You don't need to worry about this. Since you have already talked about the horse bandits and the slave beasts, can you tell me more about this guy? I am a little interested in this guy." Benedy walked to the roadside made of dirt and used his feet.
A hole was dug in the sand outside the soil.
To be honest, Benedy didn't really care about horse bandits and slave beasts, but he was quite concerned about these monsters that could move in the sand.
This series of operations made Del's face twitch, and he said seriously: "You'd better not do this."
"Oh? What will happen?" Benedy looked at Del curiously.
"Hey, do you know why there are all these dirt and stones on the road we must pass?" Del exhaled and came to Benedy's side to look at a pothole he dug with his feet.
"Why?" Benedy learned from Doleci's map that there is a monster that exists in the desert, called sand worm, but there is no specific description.
Benedy thought that since he was going to pass through here, he still needed to know about the local snakes in this area to prevent problems before they occur. This guy must have contributed to the yellow danger level of the Eastern Desert.
"Because you are right, there is indeed an extremely terrifying monster in the Eastern Desert. We call it the Earth Dragon." Del picked his yellowed teeth with a bamboo stick.
"Earth dragon? What about the sand worm?" Benedy didn't expect that this guy had another name, or was it another kind of creature?
"Sand worm? What is that? I've never heard of it, maybe it's the official name?" Del said with a confused look on his face.
"We can't see this kind of monster, but it can sense us." Del continued, "Earth dragons often hide in the raised sand. If you are not careful, they will be dragged into the sand nest and eaten away."
Del looked at the people who were stunned and said with a smile: "You may not feel it, but it will be more intuitive for you to see with your own eyes."
"What do you want to do?" Someone slowly took a few steps back and looked at Del warily.
Del curled his lips in disdain, looked around, picked up a stone the size of his head, and threw it towards a small ridge in the sand in the distance.
The stone carried a parabola and fell accurately on the sand pile. Everyone stopped breathing and looked over there.
Two seconds later, the sand around the stone collapsed instantly, forming a sand pit five or six meters long. A creature that looked like an ant came out, with a huge one or two meters long on its face.
The long toothed pliers crushed the stone in an instant.
The monster was stunned for a moment, and then began to scream like crazy. The countless tiny tentacles all over its body were still trembling crazily, giving people goosebumps all over their bodies.
Del patted the dust on his hands, and then said calmly: "Okay, now you can see how much ridges there are on the surrounding sand."
Only then did everyone regain their composure and glanced around. Everyone was horrified to find that except for the dirt under their feet, there were piles of sand almost everywhere, so much that it made one's scalp numb!
If these piles of sand are all monsters called earth dragons, there must be so many of them that they are too numerous to count just by looking at them, let alone the vast expanse of desert.
"Gudu." The sound of swallowing saliva sounded. If it was dragged into the sand pit, it would definitely be torn into pieces.
"I can tell you that the strength of that earth dragon is equivalent to that of a person with third-tier magic power."
Del stopped talking nonsense. He had been delayed long enough. He looked coldly at the grooms and passengers around him, turned around and went to the front to lead the team.
Benedy stared at the sunken sand pit in the distance and fell into deep thought. This was wrong, the information did not match.
This is definitely not a sand worm, this is definitely another monster that exists in the desert. But why is there no record on the map? Benedy took out Doleci's map again and looked at it.
But this time he was surprised to find that when he injected magic power, there was an additional message in the area called Dongmo on the map, and it was the Earth Dragon he saw just a moment ago.
This map is actually updated in real time? How is it possible? What is going on with this map?
Benedy held the map in his hand but suddenly felt extremely hot, as if it was no longer an ordinary piece of paper in his hand, but a living creature.
He quickly put the map away. From this, it can be seen that this creature called the Earth Dragon is probably a new resident who came long after Dolacy recorded the sand worm. After all, this map has existed for an unknown amount of time.
Even the recorded sand worms might have become extinct. Although he thought so, Benedy still kept an eye on it. It was better to know than not to know, and he would pay more attention to it.
Before getting on the bus, he glanced at a few dignitaries of unknown status not far away. Although he said to leave, when the groom threw a few big horses to them, he was too scared to leave.
Ignorant people are fearless, but once they know that there are so many dangers here, people's courage will become smaller. The more they know, the more afraid they will be.
No longer caring about the others, Benedy returned to the carriage and closed the door.
The hot and unbearable breath came in, and Salsa frowned, seeming extremely unhappy.
"It's so hot, close the door quickly."
Benedy looked at Salsa speechlessly: "I know there are Dragons who can't stand the cold, but I've never seen a Dragon who can't stand the heat."
If you can spray such hot dragon breath from your mouth, how low can your body temperature get?
"What? Although Dragon is afraid of the cold, our skin is only resistant to heat, but it is not completely immune to high temperatures. Otherwise, why do you think Dragon Breath would hurt Dragon?" Salsa said dissatisfied.
.
"Do you know what other functions Dragon's Reverse Scale has?" Salsa suddenly looked at Benedy.
"What's the purpose?" Benedy was stunned, why did he suddenly mention this.
"The cold-resistant ones that are not very cold-resistant, and the very heat-resistant ones. The reason why the two extreme temperatures have little impact on Dragon is due to the inverse scales on our bodies." Salsa blinked her big eyes and said.
"You still can't figure out why Alice in Ryan's story doesn't resist freezing?"
Benedy really didn't know this. He raised his right arm, which was faintly exuding the black aura of death, and there was a burning sensation in his left arm.
At this moment, there were two Dragon's reverse scales in his body at the same time. So that was the case. He knew why he didn't react at all when everyone was unbearably hot just now.
"I'll give it back to you after I can take it out." Benedy was silent for a while and said softly.
Salsa was slightly startled after hearing this. In fact, her reverse scale has always been there, but it just changed its way of existence. In the past, her reverse scale was just a scale on her body.
And now, her reverse scales have not disappeared, she has just become a human being.
Salsa looked at Benedy. The man at this moment was the one she needed to protect.
"If you don't return it, I will ask you for it too." Salsa's voice sounded, "So you must protect it well."
