Chronicles of Primordial Wars

The rolling sand dunes blocked the view, and only the sand on the dunes could be seen being carried up by a gust of wind.

There is a piece of yellow sand around, and there are no other green plants, not even a single plant, not even one of those powerful plants in the desert.

A man in ragged clothes climbed up the sand dune step by step. It was a tall young man with broad shoulders and a strong body. The strong muscles on his exposed arms were tensed. He was dragging a crude stone hammer in one hand. It is made of ground materials and made temporarily. The stone hammer has not been modified or drilled. Instead, a stone and a stone rod are directly tied together with a tough vine in the desert, and cloth strips are added. .

On the exposed arm, the crisscross wounds have coagulated, and the coagulated blood can be clearly seen mixed with sand and dust. With every step, I could feel the stinging pain from wounds all over my body, but after I got used to it, I became numb and gradually ignored the pain.

Not far behind him, there were a few unkempt people. The clothes on their bodies could no longer be discerned. Their chapped lips were slightly white due to lack of water. They don't even want to breathe if they have a choice, the air is too hot and dry, and the wind is full of death and despair.

"Da Ren, did you see anything in front of you?" an older man asked, his voice was dry and dull, and every word was spoken with difficulty and was slowly squeezed out.

The person who has climbed the sand ridge is propped on the ground with a stone hammer, and most of his body weight is placed on the stone hammer to reduce the weight, and his eyes are looking into the distance. He originally carried a sword in his hand, and that sword was the most successful weapon he had built so far. Craftsmen always like to bring their excellent achievements in their hands, which is also a display of ability. . But here, those excellent results have become something that attracts danger, and until now, he can hold it in his hands. There is only a simple stone hammer that has never been seen before.

Hearing the question from the person behind him, Gong Jiaren shook his head and dragged the stone hammer down.

People who originally had a little hope heard such a reply. There was a dead silence in his eyes again.

They have walked in this desert for seventeen days and lived for so many years, when have they been so embarrassed? This is the first time they have encountered this kind of suffering. When they were in Wangcheng, they said that they belonged to the Gongjia family. Naturally, some people will come to give gifts, and there are slaves to serve in their lives. All they think and do every day is casting, and they don't need to worry about the rest. But now, they regret it.

I regret not learning more survival skills, regret not following the right person, regret taking this step, if I stayed in Wangcheng at that time, I would choose another way. Would it be better?

Ten people came together, and one was shot while crossing the sea. I don't know where the arrow was fired. Fortunately, the armor was tough enough to be vigilant.

Take everyone to escape, or more people will die.

But after stepping into the desert, they discovered that it was even more difficult. They avoided the pursuers and the Yanling, but there were not many dangers in the desert. Of the remaining nine people, two were dragged away by the desert beasts as food, one betrayed them, and also stole the sword of Worker Armor. Probably to use Gong Jiaheng's sword to take refuge in the sand thieves.

Yes. In the desert, in addition to the people from Yanling, there are also some scattered small forces, some of which are formed by former slaves, and some are controlled by escaped slave owners. The people of Yanling have now shifted their target and ignored them. Let these small forces have a chance to breathe. And those people, who didn't dare to provoke Yanling, murdered other people passing through the desert and robbed them of their belongings.

After the two pieces of land approached, many people came over there, thinking about passing through the desert far from the core of Yanling, but it was also convenient for those sand thieves to do things, and the sand thieves did not want to get too close to Yanling.

During their seventeen days in the desert, they had seen quite a few corpses buried in the sand. No one knew who they were and which continent they came from. On the way, I saw a team of sand thieves. They buried themselves in sand and hid behind the dunes to avoid danger.

Now, there are only six of them left.

"It would be great if I could find a water source now." A man who was a little tougher than a worker's armor licked his chapped lips. Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, he took a deep breath, pulled out a smile, and comforted, "Mr. There will be a turnaround, at least we are still alive now."

"Ah!" One of them let out a helpless moan like a toothache, and threw down the stone that was used as a weapon in his hand. Because of hunger, thirst, and the difficulties along the way, even if he wanted to let out a loud anger and shouted. The only thing that came out was a weak voice like a sigh, "If you want to continue walking in such a place, let me die! Die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong with his feet, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. Although they are inexperienced in such an environment, after so many days, they have a sense of vigilance against the crisis.

"Careful!" Work Armor yelled.

A sand lizard suddenly jumped out of the sand, biting the legs of the person who was standing there just now and was about to retreat, and was about to drag it down.

The others could no longer sigh and sigh, and hurriedly hugged the man's upper body. One of their two previous companions who were eaten by the sand beast was dragged into the ground so fast that they couldn't pull it in time.

Although the sand lizard has no teeth, its mouth that bites its legs is very powerful. The man can't even kick his legs. The more he struggles, the harder the sand lizard bites. The prey is snatched from the opponent's companion.

"what!"

The person who had his legs bitten let out a painful cry. This was not the powerless sigh just now. The scream was even more miserable. He had no doubt that if he continued like this, he would be directly torn off!

Bang!

A stone hammer hit the sand lizard's head exposed outside the sand, making a sound of a hard object hitting.

The head of the sand lizard, which was covered with scales, was smashed off a large area of ​​​​scales.

The person who escaped the beast's mouth ignored the pain in his leg, and quickly stepped back to look for the stone that he had just thrown around. They didn't have weapons in their hands, so they could only pick up some stones and other weapons as weapons, or some animal bones, human bones, etc. they saw in the middle, and they could make do with it.

Others also smashed the sand lizard with their stones, or stabbed the sand lizard with sharpened bones, but unfortunately, the sand lizard saw that the situation was not good and wanted to run down, but it was hammered down again. , the air flow driven by the hammer body made a whistling sound, hitting its eyes directly.

It was as if the grit grinding sound came from the mouth of this sand lizard, and the head that was retracted was smashed to the side. The others quickly followed, smashing and stabbing the wounded and vulnerable part of the sand lizard's head.

After getting out of danger, they have already realized that this is food, a rare food.

Everyone stared at the sand lizard's eyes with a fierce green light.

Finally, after the sand lizard was forced to pull out a small half from the sand, under the siege of the six people, he died.

Work Armor slumped down on the sand, panting heavily. After smashing three hammers just now, he almost exhausted his strength to pull the sand lizard out of the sand.

Not only the work armor is tough, but everyone else also fell on the sand and lost the strength to stand.

However, if this sand lizard just died, if it is not dealt with quickly, it will attract other sand beasts, so the six people have no time to rest slowly.

Gong Jiaren climbed over and took a sip of the blood that came out of the sand lizard. He didn't know whether the blood was poisonous or not, but he had no choice.

The blood was thick with a fishy smell, and there were a lot of sand grains. They couldn't even care about it. They all climbed onto the dead sand lizard, licking blood and eating meat, just like other beasts in the desert. It's all about survival.

sow

The sound of sand sliding.

The six people looked around vigilantly, and at this glance, their pupils shrank and their faces turned pale with fright.

One, two, three, four...five! A total of five sand lizards drilled out from under the sand and surrounded them.

The one just now had almost exhausted them. Although they drank some animal blood, they couldn't recover in such a short time, let alone dealing with five sand lizards at the same time!

Done!

It was the only thing they could think of at this time.

"How, how... what should I do?" One of them shivered. Just now, he licked the blood of the beast and licked blood on his face. When the wind blew, a lot of sand was stuck on his face. He could no longer see his face, and he could only see those terrified eyes. .

What else can I do? Either wait to die, or fight hard, there are only two options.

run? With their current physical strength, can they outrun the sand lizard?

Gong Jiaren closed his eyes and clenched the hand holding the stone hammer. They have no way of retreat, and yes, as early as in Wangcheng, there was no way of retreat. It was Gong Jiaheng who told them to flee this way. Just lived so long. After wasting so much effort of Gong Jiaheng, they still failed to get out of here in the end.

Since death can't be avoided, then only fight!

Opening his eyes abruptly, Gong Jiaren looked at the sand lizard approaching directly in front, dragged the stone hammer and stood up, wiping the blood around his eyes so as not to interfere with his vision.

"Da Ren..."

The people who were still lying next to the dead sand lizard, saw Gong Jiaren like this, they also wiped their faces and picked up the stone and bones in their hands, although they knew this little thing in their hands, it was impossible to deal with these sand lizards. What effect does it have, but now they have no other weapons in their hands, something is better than empty hands, and if they can't survive, they can end themselves.

Looking at the approaching sand lizard, Gongjia Heng rushed in front, his eyes full of determination, and a loud roar burst out of his throat.

The sand lizard, who was getting closer and closer to Gong Jiaheng, turned his head and ran away.

The armored armor that has picked up the stone hammer: "..."

other people:"……"

Looking at the sand lizards that surrounded them in other directions, they all ran away, the one running fast, as if they were running for their lives.

Bang!

Somewhere on the ground, the sand exploded, and a sand lizard was lifted off and rolled several times in the air.

A figure rushed out from under the sand, and under the scorching sun, there was a faint blue light.

"Good... what a big bug!" (To be continued.)
