Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws

Whether it was Beloberg or Ssangyong Castle, all the professionals they sent had nothing to gain.

But the strange phenomenon in front of me still continued.

This situation left everyone confused.

Even Lu En also fell into deep thought.

"It seems that the quicksand snake is not that easy to catch. Before entering the real quicksand snake gathering place, it was blocked by a sandstorm." Colonel Henry said with a bitter smile.

His words of joy in suffering actually made everyone feel a little better.

Renn on the side also shrugged and said: "Sandstorm, what we saw is at best a breeze, but even so, its power cannot be underestimated. It is difficult to imagine how terrifying a real sandstorm would be."

Henry nodded, "But this is enough to highlight the preciousness of this gathering place of desert snakes. If the snakes can be caught too easily, I would be a little uneasy."

He raised his hand to cover the light of the alchemical sun in the sky and looked into the distance: "After we solve the problem here, we will have a wonderful harvest and relief. Look! I can even see those desert snakes in the distance. Restless, catch them sooner or later.”

All around, professionals from the two forces were busy.

It lasted for more than three hours, but there was still no result.

Lu En, on the other hand, has been meditating for a long time.

He stood on the bow of the boat, his eyes fixed on the quicksand below.

"Colonel Luen, what are you thinking about?" Henry came to his side, "Don't be too impatient. You can't rush when studying this kind of thing. Take your time. We can go back to the cabin and have a rest."

Lu En did not answer him directly, but made a silence gesture, his eyes still lingering on the quicksand below.

Henry was a little confused by Lu En's movements. He followed Lu En's gaze and couldn't see anything except the chaotic flow of balanced quicksand.

But Lu En's eyes gradually became excited.

"Found it." Lu En took a deep breath, and his whole body became visibly relaxed.

"What did you find?"

Luen looked at Henry, "The triggering conditions of the sandstorm."

Hearing this, Henry was shocked, and then hurriedly asked: "Tell me quickly what are the triggering conditions for a sandstorm? Why is it so difficult for so many of us to discover it?!"

Lu En did not show off, pointing to the quicksand below: "Actually, I have been wondering why so many of our professional staff cannot discover the triggering conditions of sandstorms. Even I myself cannot observe similar conditions from any angle. To the existence of array patterns."

"But what you said before just reminded me."

"Why don't I remember what I said?" Henry was confused.

Lu En said: "You said before, when you look at the desert snakes in the distance, they seem very impatient."

"So, what is the relationship between this sentence and the triggering conditions of the sandstorm?" Henry still didn't understand.

Lu En smiled and said: "Actually, it's very simple. I think we think things are too complicated. The reason why we can't find any formation pattern or barrier is because there is no such thing! "

"Not at all!" Henry's voice was a little loud, attracting everyone else's attention. Castretto, Liard, Henry and others, including Lincoln from Double Dragon Castle, all gathered around.

Lu En explained to everyone what he had just discovered, "Actually, there is no such mystery here at all. The reason why passing a certain place will cause hurricanes and sandstorms inside is because there are many pairs of eyes staring at us under this quicksand. ”

"As long as we cross their cordon, they will relatively transmit information to cause hurricanes and sandstorms, blocking all external enemies."

"To put it bluntly, there are sentries under the quicksand."

"These sentries are extremely hidden. They usually don't move and are even more difficult to detect. I carefully observed the quicksand in the past few hours and finally found clues about the other party."

After hearing Lu En's words, everyone let out a sigh of relief and became relaxed, then became a little depressed.

What's relaxing is that they finally found a solution to the current predicament, but what's frustrating is that they didn't expect the enemy's defense to be so simple, yet they spent so much time on it.

"I see." Castretto scratched his head, "We think the monsters are too smart! Does that mean that as long as we kill the monsters below, we can successfully enter the gathering place of the desert snakes?"

"It's most likely so, but how to catch these guys and kill them is a difficult problem."

Colonel Henry on the side also took over the conversation at this time: "Balance Quicksand itself has no lethality, but is a mild substance, but it has the effect of balancing other substances and amplifying abilities. Those monster sentries buried underneath , they just need to push their own abilities, and balancing the quicksand will become their natural boost.”

"And our artillery and the like may not be very effective against the creatures under the quicksand. It may not be easy for our extraordinary beings to fight these monsters in the quicksand. After all, these quicksands flow like sea water. ."

"We have tried to step into the quicksand before, but we were unable to stand firm due to the fluctuations of the water. Moreover, the monsters under the quicksand can drag people into it at any time. Anyone who steps into it will die without knowing how. Dead."

At this time, Major General Lincoln from the Double Dragon Castle next to him said: "We dragonborn can fly for a short time, but unfortunately it won't last long. If we face the quicksand directly, even we will not dare to set foot in this area."

Casrito spread his hands, "I found the problem, but I didn't expect that how to solve it turned out to be a difficult problem, but no matter what, we have to overcome the difficulties in front of us."

Colonel Renne said at this time: "How about I take a group of people to go down and test the water first. The previous explorers said that quicksand is difficult to step on, which is not necessarily the truth. It must be considered based on the actual situation."

Henry did not refuse, but nodded slightly and said: "Be safe."

Colonel Lane selected 15 people from the extraordinary people to follow him to the Balanced Sand Sea.

The dragonborn of the Double Dragon Castle took a short flight, preparing to respond in the air.

Everyone's eyes were on the 16 people heading to the Sand Sea. The whereabouts of these people determined whether they could successfully break through the barrier in front of them and enter the gathering place.

Colonel Renn jumped off the deck, and the extraordinary ones behind him followed.

After landing on the sea of ​​sand, Ren's entire figure seemed to be shaky and unsteady.

The situation of the extraordinary beings behind him was even more exaggerated than him.

The moment a few people landed on the sand sea, the surrounding sand sea became more turbulent like ocean-like waves.

When the waves reached everyone's feet, they became extremely chaotic, and some extraordinary people even fell directly into the sand.

Suddenly, a pair of invisible hands stretched out from the sea of ​​sand and dragged the fallen transcendent to the ground.

Everyone only heard a little whimpering, and the breath of the extraordinary person completely disappeared.

Colonel Renne was the first to react in time. A thunderous spear appeared in his hand and plunged straight into the sea of ​​sand.

After a blinding flash, dark red blood emerged from under the sand.

As Colonel Renne's strange item spear was recalled, a monkey-like creature was strung on the spear.

His abdomen had been pierced by a spear, and his whole body was scorched black, without any breath of life.

Everyone was slightly surprised when they found the monkey's body.

The monkey looks extremely ugly, with a stooped and thin body, only about 30 centimeters.

But its arms are actually 1.5 meters long, and its ears are on its hands.

The mouth is divided into 8 parts, each of which has countless fangs. From its mouth, you can still see the remains of the corpse of the previous transcendent.

In other words, the extraordinary beings he had dragged down into the sea of ​​sand had been swallowed by it.

Just a few seconds after Colonel Ren retracted his spear, the nearby sea of ​​sand suddenly became restless, seemingly because of the monkey's death.

The waves of the sand sea became more frequent, and the extraordinary people on it were somewhat unsteady.

And pairs of hands extended from the surroundings, trying to drag people into the sea of ​​sand.

The Dragonborn, who had been flying in the sky, quickly picked up the people on the sand sea and returned.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to the deck.

Thick dark clouds had already gathered in the sky, blocking the blazing sunlight from the Alchemy Sun.

"Fortunately, we came back in time, and fortunately we didn't actually cross the warning line, otherwise we would have been engulfed by hurricanes and sandstorms at this moment."

Even though Ren was happy to take the exam, he was still a little frightened at this time, so he said two things in a row.

And the monkey corpses he brought back have become an important resource for everyone's research.

This is a brand new species that has not been seen before, which arouses everyone's curiosity.

While various professionals were studying the monkeys, Renn said little.

Of the 15 people he named to enter the sand sea, two of them were damaged in just a few minutes. He also felt a little guilty about this.

After more than ten minutes of research, all the data on this monkey has been sent to everyone.

Scholars who specialize in exotic beasts and warcraft named this monkey the long-eared sand monkey.

According to their judgment, the long-eared sand monkey has an extremely wide hearing range in the sand sea and can successfully detect any sound within 10 kilometers around it.

But as soon as they leave the sand sea, their hearing and various attributes will decline rapidly.

As sentinels where desert snakes gather, they lurk in the sea of ​​sand. Once they hear anything unusual or find anything crossing the cordon, they will immediately emit a sound of a certain frequency, causing a hurricane, which will drive the equilibrium quicksand. Together they form a sandstorm.

But the specific source of the hurricane is still unclear.

"Although I don't know how the long-eared sand monkeys control the hurricane, at least I know that they are causing trouble, so as long as they are dealt with, we can go deep into it through the current location."

"We still have to send people down to exterminate them." Ren said, "But based on the feeling I just stepped into the sea of ​​sand, it would be difficult for ordinary extraordinary people to stand firm on the sea of ​​sand, let alone the elusive Long-eared Sand. The monkeys are fighting. They have a strong ability increase under the quicksand, which is not something ordinary people can deal with. "

Lincoln said, "How about we hunt them from the air?"

Ren shook his head, "The long-eared sand monkey is buried very deep and cannot be found in the air. Not to mention that the balanced quicksand, as a precious alchemical substance, has high strength. Can your attack penetrate the thick layer from the air?" Thick sand layers are a problem."

"The only way to kill these long-eared sand monkeys is to use yourself as a bait and actively wait for them to attack on the sea of ​​​​sand to reveal flaws, so that you can easily cause fatal damage to them."

No one questioned what Ren said.

It's just that it's a bit embarrassing to ask extraordinary people to act as bait.

The performance of these long-eared sand monkeys just now was seen by everyone. Even Sequence 7 extraordinary beings are no match for the opponent's environment.

He was just dragged into the desert and died in less than 5 seconds.

How to choose the right people to step into the sea of ​​​​sand is a difficult question.

"Okay, I'll go down again." Ren volunteered, "It's just that the selection of other extraordinary people must be more careful. Ask if anyone has the confidence to go. The rewards will definitely not be stingy after returning! "

Everyone nodded in acquiescence.

But at this time, Lu En spoke, "I'll go down."

"Colonel Luen." When he spoke, everyone was a little surprised.

In their eyes, although Rune is said to have extraordinary strength, after all, he is still at Sequence 6.

And currently he is still an important protector of the moving people and the leader of this mission.

Putting the coach in a dangerous situation is generally something no one would do.

They all wanted to persuade him, but Lu En waved his hand, "These sand seas are not difficult for me. I need to carefully choose the extraordinary people who will accompany me down. They are the most important. I can't do it alone." ”

Seeing that Lu En insisted on doing this, the others had no choice but to obey orders, but were ready to rescue them at any time.

Half an hour later, everything was ready and 50 extraordinary people went down with Lu En.

25 of them were picked from Double Dragon Castle and 25 were picked from Beloberg.

51 people jumped off the deck, and everyone was extremely nervous with their hearts in their throats.

Their eyes mainly fell on Lu En.

When everyone's footsteps landed on the sea of ​​​​sand, the entire sea of ​​​​sand became more violent, like a real sea, with turbulent waves.

Having learned from the past, the sand sea will not let go of those who provoke it again, and the long-eared sand monkey below wants to avenge its dead companions.

In a bumpy world, everyone is like a small boat in a storm, rising and falling crazily as the waves come.

If you are not careful, your boat will capsize and you will die.

The speed of the quicksand nearly doubled, and countless whirlpools began to appear.

The extraordinary beings used their own characteristics and were finally able to barely stabilize their bodies without falling.

But the long-eared sand monkey's simple test and some external interference were added, and seven or eight extraordinary people were dragged into the quicksand.

"This situation is ten times worse than when I went down before." Ren was on the deck with a solemn expression.

He looked down at Lu En, his eyes worried, but he suddenly frowned tightly.

"Something's wrong. Why do I feel that Colonel Luen is not affected by the sea of ​​sand?"
