All-Professional Master of Darkness - Chapter 363
c363 Sandstorm is coming
Lan Wu and his group quickened their pace.
The mountain range stretched across the horizon, and the detour added at least several times the distance to reach the other side of the mountain range. Although the three people carried a lot of clean water and food, no one dared to guarantee that they could make it to the distant oasis. Therefore, they could only hurry and walk as much as possible.
Near dusk, Warriv suddenly stopped, sniffed with his nose raised, and then suddenly changed color and shouted: “Stop, the weather is a bit wrong.”
Gross looked back at Warriv suspiciously, and then looked up at the sky. The sky was full of flaming clouds, which was very magnificent and a rare beauty. He looked back at Warriv again and hesitantly retorted: “It has been sunny these past two days, and there will be no sandstorms.”
“Don’t you all notice that there is more moisture in the air?” Warriv was anxious.
Lan Wu and Gross looked at each other. Lan Wu was fine, but he was a complete rookie in this regard. But Gross was a native of Lugoin. He didn’t feel the moisture in the air increase, it was still dry and hot, the air seemed to burn.
“Trust me, find a safe place to hide immediately, and wait until the sandstorm is over before setting off.” Warriv didn’t care about his old face, and almost begged.
As if to prove Warriv’s judgment, a dark cloud suddenly appeared behind the mountains in the distance, and it rolled over the mountains at a speed visible to the naked eye and extended towards this side. Almost in the blink of an eye, the sky with bright sunshine suddenly changed, and the thick clouds pressed down on the head and quickly turned black.
This time Warriv didn’t need to say much. Lan Wu anxiously told Warriv to stay where he was and wait, and then he and Gross teleported out at the same time. Each person went in a direction to find a safe place to hide.
“Don’t go too far. After the storm, there will be a terrible sandstorm.” Warriv had no choice at this moment, and could only shout to remind the two people from behind. His strength was not strong. Although he was unwilling, he could only obey Lan Wu’s arrangement. After all, the magician’s teleportation is the most suitable for inquiring. However, it was the ghost Afafu who first found a safe hiding place.
When Lanwu and the other two teleported out to search for a safe place, Lan Ya and the other four were not idle. As ghosts, they are the most suitable scouts. Especially Afafu, she is not unfamiliar with the gravel wasteland. Even if the terrain has completely changed, she was the first to find a good shelter.
Not long after, Lanwu, under the guidance of Afafu, brought Warif and the other two to the cave on the hillside. This cave is very deep and extends to the depths, which is perfect for avoiding sandstorms.
Looking back at the dark clouds that seemed to cover the entire sky, the three of them entered the cave one after another, and then used the linen cloth from before to simply draw a line of defense inside the cave entrance.
The bonfire was lit, and the cave became bright. The three sat around the bonfire and smiled helplessly at each other. This trip was quite bad. First, they encountered perverted demonic creatures, and then there was a terrifying sandstorm. We had just entered the gravel wasteland, and had not even reached the dry highlands, let alone the distant oasis. The world had changed dramatically, and many of the previous experiences were no longer useful.
At this time, there was some movement outside the cave, and then the sound of dense rain began to sound. Like a faucet turned on, endless torrential rain poured down from the sky. The few raindrops that drifted into the cave with the wind hit the linen and made crackling sounds. You can imagine how terrible the rainstorm outside is.
Listening to the rainstorm outside, the three people were still frightened. Lan Wu and the others looked at Warriv with more admiration. The inheritance of thousands of years is indeed not covered.
The storm came and went quickly. After more than half an hour, the wind stopped and the rain stopped. Lan Wu walked to the linen curtain, lifted a corner and looked out. I saw that the sky above the distant mountains had turned khaki. The originally dark clouds seemed to be afraid, and I didn’t know where they had hidden.
The khaki color was like a plague, rapidly eroding the dark clouds in the sky, and spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lan Wu saw it clearly. As the khaki color in the sky spread, countless small black dots on the ground were wriggling. Obviously, they were also afraid of the power of the sandstorm, and countless creatures escaped from their nests.
“Come here, Warriv, see what’s going on?” Lan Wu shouted back. Looking at those unknown creatures trying to avoid the sandstorm, this time it’s probably not an ordinary sandstorm.
Warriv and Gross hurried over after hearing the sound. The three stood at the entrance of the cave, facing the increasingly strong mountain wind and looking into the distance. After looking carefully for a while, Warriv suddenly changed color and screamed in panic: “Quickly block the entrance of the cave. This is the most terrible black sandstorm in the Alalock Desert, the Undine.”
Hearing Warriv’s terrified scream, Gross’s face immediately lost color, and he acted quickly with a pale face. Seeing the two people so scared, Lan Wu quickly followed suit, and was about to go crazy.
What the hell is going on?
After a lot of busy work, they finally blocked the hole before the yellow earth in the distant sky spread over, and then completely sealed the gap with linen.
“God bless you.” Warriv returned to the campfire in a daze, muttering to the gods: “I hope we can survive the black sandstorm. The gods are with us.”
Lan Wu was frightened by Warriv’s actions. Even with such a level of defense, he still can’t feel at ease? What is the origin of this Undine black sandstorm?
While thinking, he looked at Gross, hoping that this native Lugoin could answer his questions. Unexpectedly, he saw that Gross was not much better than Warriv at this moment. He could clearly see that this fearless Lugoin was trembling all over. He was obviously scared.
“What is the black sandstorm?” Lan Wu was very depressed and had to ask. He didn’t want to deepen the fear in the hearts of the two at this time. But he had to make himself understand what made the two so afraid.
Before he finished speaking, Warriv and the other man trembled obviously, and endless fear appeared on their faces. After a long while, Warriv explained with a trembling voice: “That is the power of God that even the demons dare not resist. Any creature in the black sandstorm will be torn into pieces by the violent sandstorm in half an hour at most. The most terrible thing is that the black sandstorm has never followed a pattern. Sometimes it happens twice in a short month. Sometimes it will not appear once for more than ten years in a row.”
At this point, his face improved a lot, and he continued: “Lugaoin has been able to stand on the Twin Seashore for so many years. A big reason for this is that Duriel is afraid of the threat of the black sandstorm and is unwilling to risk his life. He is determined to attack Lugaoin from the mysterious shelter. Otherwise, as long as it is willing to summon the demon army to launch a general attack from outside the city or the sewer, Lugaoin would have become a ruin like the catastrophe not long ago.”
Lan Wu was so shocked that he couldn’t speak for a long time. It turns out that there is such an inside story here. At this moment, a muffled buzzing sound echoed in the cave.
Warriv and Gross jumped up at the same time like frightened rabbits. The black sandstorm has arrived.
