Chapter 357 Strange creatures
Sitting on the puppet makes it much easier to walk.
Although the puppet is not moving fast, it is tall and long after all, and it is as far as ordinary people take two or three steps away. Xiao Lei was bored and started chatting with Fenix casually.
Although the beauty of the Nya Elf tribe did not like to speak, her attitude was gentler because Xiao Lei contributed the puppet as a means of transportation.
After chatting, Xiao Lei had some general understanding of the current situation of the Olympian gods.
Speaking of which, in addition to the gods, the four major races that are now living in Olympia's divine city, the three major servants and giants, are already very sparse in population due to special reasons... Needless to say, Xiao Lei understood the reason in his heart.
Joke! A male giant who is ten meters tall and a female giant who is shorter than the elves, has too many restrictions on mating and reproduction... It is a hell to be able to grow the population!
And the elf... Xiao Lei glanced at the earring on the right ear of the elf beauty beside him, and there was something a little ambiguous in his eyes.
Humph, circles and forks... The dignified patriarchs all took the lead in making homosexuals, so the people below were naturally even more stubborn.
A homosexual race has a pitiful population base, so the population naturally cannot prosper.
Speaking of which, the three major servants are the most powerful!
The human race is born with a strong body and extraordinary combat power. After reproduction for thousands of years in this world that can be said to be without natural enemies and has a very small survival threat, the population has long surpassed the giants and elves, and is twice as many as the population of the other two races.
Even the real gods have much fewer people than the human race!
The most important thing is that because of their natural fragility, most of them practice magic. Even if they occasionally produce some martial arts, they tend to achieve great success because of their innate conditions and lack of innate conditions. The elves' nature of beauties makes them often like too fancy techniques. In general, the elves have never produced any powerful warriors in the past few thousand years, and there are many magicians.
The situation of the Giant Tribe is exactly the opposite. The Giant Tribe is born with a talent for practicing magic. The only thing that is desirable is that it is born with infinite strength and belongs to powerful warriors. However, giants who have grown up over a hundred years old often have too large figures and are too large in terms of practicing martial arts. Because of their huge and heavy bodies, they can only lean towards the path of strength, and their achievements are very limited.
The human race has great advantages. The human race is not only born with strong physical strength and good at practicing martial arts, but also has magical talents and no fatal weaknesses in population reproduction. Over the past few thousand years, it has been prosperous in this small world!
For several generations, in the Divine City, the reputation of the First Warrior was taken away by the warriors of the Horde tribe. If it weren't for the fact that the Elf tribe's magical talent was stronger than that of the Horde tribe, even the title of the First Magician would have been the Horde tribe.
When Xiao Lei heard this, he couldn't help but look at Achilles, who had a cold and serious expression in front of him, and was leading the way with a serious expression.
"Before we retreated to this world, the Horde Clan was the direct servant clan of the former God of War Ares. Now, after the God of War Ares died in battle, the position of the God of War has been vacant. The Horde Clan has occupied the reputation of the strongest warrior for several generations. Everyone knows that their greatest wish is to make the warriors in the clan become the new God of War! Once the Horde Clan has a war god, the entire Horde Clan can be promoted to a formal god and leave the class of the "Servant Clan". "Fenix introduced in a low voice, thinking for a while, and adding: "Now the Horde Clan is powerful, and even the temple cannot disrespect them. The Horde Clan's speech is much heavier than the Elf Clan and the Giant Clan."
Xiao Lei thought for a while and frowned, "Since that's the case, after thousands of years, why hasn't a warrior from the human race become the new god of war?"
Phinix sighed: "How noble is the status of the Lord God? How can it be done by himself? The ancient rules of the Olympian gods, every Lord God must be enthroned by the great Father God Zeus. Therefore, although the Human and Horse tribe oppose returning to the world, it actually hopes to awaken the Father God Zeus. Because only after the great Father God wakes up can they personally enthrone their warriors as the new God of War. Moreover, the Human and Horse tribe has never given up this ideal..."
"oh?"
"Yes." Fenix looked at Achilles in front of him and smiled: "Each generation of young warriors will select the three strongest people, let them walk down Mount Olympia, enter the Death Desert, and experience a 'sacred tempering'. This sacred tempering is the tradition of the human race. Only after experiencing this tempering can one be qualified to become the strongest warrior recognized by the clan! The content of the tempering is to enter this Death Desert and undergo a death test of a hundred hourglass. Even those who can walk out of the desert alive are considered winners! But there can only be one winner!"
"What does it mean?" A glimmer flashed in Xiao Lei's eyes.
"Don't I understand what I said?" Fenix sneered: "There can only be one winner... that is to say, once you enter the desert, the strongest warriors of the three horse tribes will start to kill each other! In the desert, they not only have to compete with their abilities, but also with their wits and courage! Comparing martial arts, patience, toughness, and coldness... The last winner who can walk out of the desert is covered with the blood of his companions!"
Xiao Lei's face darkened. After a while, he sighed in a low voice: "The strong prey on the weak, the winner survives, and the weak are eliminated. Although this law is a little cruel, it is also powerful enough." Speaking of this, looking at Achilles's gaze, he couldn't help but feel a little more serious.
Achilles suddenly turned around, looked at Xiao Lei, snorted, and sneered loudly: "You guy really understands the truth."
"Do you think I'm saying good things?" Xiao Lei sneered, with a little disdainful expression: "The law of competition is correct, but your method is very wrong. Originally, you need reproduction and reproduction, as if you were like you, and you are constantly flirting with internal friction, which is stupid! What is the meaning of competing for the strongest warrior in the clan...? In this world, there are only a few thousand people, what's the glory of fighting for the first place? For this false reputation, each generation will have to consume two in vain.
The strongest warrior... Hum, I guess, your so-called death test is probably not successful in every generation, right? I'm afraid there are a few more times, the three people who entered the desert may all die, and none of them came out! According to me, your patriarch is an idiot! If you don't have such a boring test, then wouldn't you be able to leave many powerful warriors in the clan? Wasting the lives of those powerful warriors in this desert for nothing, isn't it stupid? "
Achilles had just started to listen to the first two sentences of Xiao Lei, and his face was furious, but when Xiao Lei finished speaking, the anger on his face faded away, and there was a bit of complex meaning in his eyes. He looked at Xiao Lei deeply, but did not turn his back immediately, but instead shook his head.
His yellow curly hair fluttered gently, his voice was still cold, but his tone became a little complicated: "What you said makes sense..."
"Achilles was the warrior who passed the death test last time... that time he stayed in the desert for a hundred hourglass time! And among the warriors who entered the desert together, one of them was his brother..." Fenix lowered his voice and said to Xiao Lei.
Xiao Lei nodded, probably understanding the reason why Achilles didn't turn against him just now.
It seems that he also had complicated thoughts in his mind when facing this kind of test.
But this guy is indeed amazing. He can spend a hundred hourglass time in such a place.
There is no difference between day and night in this world. Time is calculated by hourglass. The time of an hourglass is about half a day in the world, and one hundred hourglass is also fifty days in the world.
Just as he thought of this, he suddenly saw Achilles in front of him lifting his arm and making a stop gesture. Then he looked around nervously, his expression became solemn, and he sniffed the smell in the air with force...
Although there is the windproof field created by Niya with magic that can prevent several people from being attacked by the storm in the desert that is more powerful than the blade, the air still has the smell of sulfur smoke, which is very hot.
Looking at the solemn and solemn Achilles's face, Xiao Lei also realized that something was going on.
Sure enough, Achilles shouted: "Note that there may be something underground in front of us..."
Little Lei had jumped off the puppet, and Fenix had already leaned against Niya tightly. A ball of light had emerged from Niya's hand, probably some kind of fire-proof magic.
"What's wrong? Is the flames in the underground erupting?" Xiao Lei raised his eyebrows. Although he was not afraid of fire, he still had three companions in this industry. They were not as indestructible as themselves.
"Hmph, do you think there is only underground flame here?" Achilles still had no good tone to Little Lei. He nervously took out two spears from the condom behind the leather armor, held one in one hand, slowly retreated under his feet, stared at the front with his eyes nervously. The muscles on his arms were tight, and he was obviously ready for a fight.
Suddenly, I saw about twenty steps ahead, the yellow sand on the ground suddenly spewed, but this time it didn't look like flames on the ground. When the flames erupted, the yellow sand was spraying up like a straight line, but this time it was radial-shaped spray spread. Then I saw a small sand dune gradually piled up on the ground, and the dune would still move! It was like waves on the water surface, slowly swimming back and forth, and then gradually came to Xiao Lei and the others.
"Is there something under the sand?" Xiao Lei frowned. At this moment, new sand dunes appeared on the ground in front! Each of these sand dunes was about half a meter high. After counting carefully, there were dozens of them!
All these dunes seemed to be alive, swimming back and forth on the surface, and it was obvious that there must be something below!
Phinix behind was obviously surprised: "What is it? How can there be creatures in the Death Desert?!"
Xiao Lei sneered: "How is it impossible?"
"But this is the Death Desert! No water, no food! The underside of the desert is filled with flames that can melt metal..." Fenix obviously didn't understand the desert. Xiao Lei just looked at Achilles who was sneering and mocking, and understood. He sighed: "What are you talking about? Life is originally a wonderful thing. You know the little bug cockroaches in the world. Cockroaches can survive in boiling water for several hours, and even if their heads fall off, they can survive for a long time... Can you guarantee that no creature in this world can survive in the fire?"
"Okay." Achilles spoke, and he grabbed the spear's fingers and tried his best, and said in a stern tone: "Don't chat anymore, let's talk about it if you have the life to survive!" He narrowed his eyes and suddenly glanced at Xiao Lei: "I hope you, the powerful warrior in the east, don't let me down... I'm responsible for the left, you're responsible for the right... Be careful, the signs of their activities now seem to have accidentally entered their settlement... Now you look at the sand dunes in front, they have begun to detour to both sides, ready to surround us!"
"What the hell is it?" Xiao Lei frowned.
"A nasty thing." Achilles glanced at Little Lei: "Do you have a weapon? If not, I can lend you a spear. But be careful, their ability to withstand strikes is very powerful."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rustling sound coming from the front. Several dunes on the ground collapsed and several black shadows were revealed!
I saw that these monsters were about half a meter away, and their bodies were shiny black and looked like they were hard shells! But Xiao Lei looked very familiar with this kind of thing!
They have many feet, their bodies are flat and long, with a pair of huge double clamps in front, and behind them is a high-rise tail, and there is a curved hook like a blade on the tip of the tail!
These are a huge scorpion!
Then dozens of sand dunes collapsed one after another, revealing dozens of huge scorpions below!
The smallest of these scorpions are half a meter long, and the largest one is nearly one meter! It is distributed on the left and right, and it is obviously surrounded by Xiao Lei and his men from both sides!
I heard a rustling sound, and suddenly, the front ones rushed towards Xiao Lei and the others! The movements of these scorpions were very fast, swimming on the sand and gravel, making the sound that made people creepy!
"Drink it!!" Achilles suddenly let out a loud shout, and the two spears in his left and right hands were already shot out with the strong wind!
Swish! After two rays of light passed, two beautiful arcs were drawn in the air and accurately inserted on the backs of the two scorpions!
Sneak! One of the scorpions was immediately pierced by a spear, and its body was nailed to the ground. What flowed out of the body was actually burning blood like magma!!
The other spear shot by Achilles was shot on the scorpion with a volume of nearly one meter, but it could not penetrate it at once. It could only slightly pierce the shell on its back, and the spear bounced open!
What a hard thing!
Xiao Lei was also shocked when he saw it. Although Xiao Lei had never experienced the power of Achilles' spear, he saw his spear throwing out with his own eyes. Even if it was a white magic stone in the Divine City, a hole could be made!
But now he can't even pierce a scorpion?
However, Achilles did not stop in his hand, and quickly pulled out two spears from behind and threw them out with force. His technique was very fast and his movements were like the wind! The spear in his hand shot out continuously, and each spear was extremely accurate. He hit the target. The several scorpions in front of him were stabbed by him without exception. Although the two hard shells were not pierced immediately, they were also injured and quickly retreated.
"Back back! Go back!" Achilles shouted loudly. He was guarding the front, half of the spear on his back had been thrown out. He stared at the group of scorpions in front of him, and gritted his teeth and said, "We broke into their settlements and retreated! These scorpion dragons are very territorial. As long as they exit their territory, they will not be attacked."
On the other side where Xiao Lei was responsible, there were several scorpions starting to move. Xiao Lei snorted. He didn't take any weapons, but just bounced his fingers.
With a swish, a golden light shot out from his fingertips, and he immediately hit a scorpion. But to his surprise, the scorpion was hit by the golden light, but it just bounced off, rolled on the sand twice, then turned over again, shook, shook its tail, but suddenly rushed towards Xiao Lei!
"Yi? It's really hard." Xiao Lei sneered, and then changed his finger to a single palm, slashed out with a false penis, and immediately emitted a sword energy! The sword energy was as strong as ice. With a sneer, the scorpion had been cut in half! Red body fluid like magma flowed all over the ground!
And what surprised Xiao Lei below happened!
The scorpion groups that did not attack immediately suddenly rushed forward, but did not attack Xiao Lei and others immediately. Instead, they headed towards the dead scorpions and were actually eroding the dead scorpions. The magma was burning with flames, as if they were the delicacies that these scorpions liked the most!
In an instant, the dead scorpions were eaten up! Listening to the rustling sound of chewing, even Xiao Lei couldn't help but feel a little numb.
"I'm tying around." Xiao Lei whistled, and the huge puppet behind him had already rushed up, raised his foot, and stepped on it with a snap, and immediately stepped on a scorpion into pieces. But then a magma-like flame appeared on the ground, which quickly burned, and the puppet's feet were actually burning! The puppet actually let out a painful whimper, and the four faces that were originally joyful, anger, sorrow and joyful on his face turned around. Xiao Lei was panicked. Seeing that the metal on the puppet's feet had begun to melt, and drops of liquid like sweat flowed down the surface, he quickly whistled and put away the puppet.
With a swish, the puppet disappeared in front of everyone and was taken into the Qiankun bag by Xiao Lei. There were more and more scorpions on the ground, rustling densely on the sand, but did not attack everyone immediately. They just slowly approached step by step, one left and one right.
Achilles shouted, "Go back! Go back!"
He pulled Nya and ran backwards. Little Lei and Fenix followed him, but suddenly heard a dense rustling sound from behind. Looking around, scorpions suddenly emerged from under the sand! These scorpions were crowded together, from dozens of them to hundreds, and from hundreds to thousands!
Seeing that the front, back, left and right were surrounded, Xiao Lei frowned: "Why are there so many?" Fenix seemed to be a little panicked: "Let's fly over."
"Hmph, fly?" Achilles' expression twisted, gritted his teeth, staring at Fenix: "Sir, do you think you can fly over?"
Sure enough, I saw a buzzing sound suddenly in the scorpion group, and then I saw countless black shadows popping out of the scorpion group. The hard shells behind the scorpion suddenly separated, and in the vibration, they turned into two thin wings. With a buzzing sound, countless scorpions flew up...
"Sir God, you insist on entering the desert. The current situation is something you didn't expect!" Achilles said with a stern tone and stared at Fenix.
He pulled Niya over, put her on his back, and whispered: "Teacher Niya, please ride on my back first. We can only rush out in one direction with all our strength!"
"Hmph!" Xiao Lei snorted, hugged a circle with his hands, shook his arms, and dozens of sword energy shot out from his hands! In the hissing sound, the blue lights were everywhere, and the sword energy was scattered! It was as if the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves, the scorpions flying in front of him were hit and fell down by the sword energy! Xiao Lei's face became even more murderous. Suddenly, a ball of ice blue aura appeared on his body, and the sleeves on his clothes were flying, and he saw him push with one palm...
With a loud bang, a golden light suddenly burst out from the group of scorpions in front! The golden light spread, and the scorpions shrouded inside suddenly rolled up, and countless bursting sounds came, flying sand and stones...
"What a great fighting spirit!" Achilles glanced at Xiao Lei deeply: "But don't waste your fighting spirit anymore, it's useless, look..."
Xiao Lei frowned and saw that his palm hit the scorpion group in the air. Although it looked amazing, the palm power only knocked over a pile of scorpions. Most of them rolled on the sand and turned over again. Only about ten were beaten to pieces by the palm power, but they were covered up in a short time in the dense pile of scorpions.
"What a hard guy!" Xiao Lei raised his eyebrows. But he didn't take this kind of thing seriously after all, and a serious look flashed in his eyes. Seeing that the ice-blue light on his body suddenly lit up a little, Fenix next to him suddenly screamed: "Stop!"
To be continued...
