Chapter 594

The scorching sun shone on a desert.

It stretched as far as the eye could see.

This place was located to the west of the defensive perimeter, and it was only ten kilometers away from the front line.

Behind them was a lush forest, a mountain peak covered in layers of mountains, and many outposts were built in dangerous places.

Up ahead,

The green grass was getting thinner and thinner, as if a line had been drawn. One side was green, and the other side was yellow sand.

A team of five hundred people, dressed in a uniform battle suit, formed a battle formation, and advanced in an orderly and fast manner.

Soon, they went deep into the desert, and their figures were submerged in the flying yellow sand.

“Chief Instructor, this desert is close to a hundred thousand square kilometers. It is equivalent to half the area of the original Tiannan Province. How can we find our target in such a vast place?”

As he spoke, the sand surface exploded with a bang, and a dark brown scorpion tail suddenly stabbed at a team member in the peripheral battle formation.

It was a desert scorpion!

It was a kind of beast that was commonly seen in the desert environment. It was not strong, but it was good at hiding. If one was not careful, even a high-level Awakened might fall for it.

There was no panic. After reacting, a few desert poisonous scorpions that attacked were quickly killed.

Right now, the elite members of the Survey Corps, the lowest level of awakening was at the peak of the ninth level, and their combat experience was rich. Some beasts’ sneak attacks were not much of a threat.

However, no one felt relaxed.

The harsh environment brought them a lot of trouble.

Strong winds swept through, and the sand that filled the sky fiercely hit every member of the team. If not for their combat suits and helmets protecting their bodies, even if their bodies were tough and tough, they would still inevitably be injured.

In this kind of sandstorm weather, not to mention the difference in visibility, but also the consumption of physical strength was much greater than usual. In addition, there were demonic beasts and beasts attacking from time to time. It was impossible for them to search the entire desert.

However,

When the team members looked at the iron tower-like figure in the front, everyone was extremely confident in their hearts.

Chief Instructor Luo was their faith!

The Garrison Division, the Survey Corps… Every time they graduated from the recruit camp and joined the members of the major corps, they all listened to the Chief Instructor’s teachings, not to mention many instructors in the recruit camp, they were the disciples of Chief Instructor Luo!

Today, Chief Instructor Luo rarely personally took action.

This time, if not for Chief Instructor quietly thinking, they would not be so lucky to follow Chief Instructor on the mission.

In the roaring sandstorm, the figures of the five hundred team members quickly stepped on the sand and quickly passed by.

Luo Zhe was wearing a black heavy armor, and his heavy boots stepped on the sand without leaving a trace.

The reason he personally made a move this time was partly because he was stuck in the bottleneck of breaking through and could not find an opportunity.

Breaking through into the eighth core was too difficult for him.

But since there was a chance, how could he be willing to walk the path of mediocrity?

Another reason was this desert.

Originally, it should have been hidden in the space between layers, like the Star Road, appearing with the revival of the planet. Now on Earth, there were many similar situations.

There were forests, deserts, and lakes. There were also many glaciers that appeared near the equator, and boundless lakes in the desert. The entire Earth had expanded at least dozens of times, and it was still expanding.

And this desert was embedded in the borders of Tiannan Province.

It was as big as half of Tiannan Province, and there were dangers everywhere. Even adventurers were rarely willing to explore such a place… More importantly, it was too close to the defense circle!

Not long ago, a Transcendent beast rushed out of the desert and attacked an outpost, causing more than twenty soldiers of the garrison clan to die. In the end, it paid a great price to repel the Transcendent Level  Sandworm.

It was in the forest environment. In the desert, the threat level of the  Sandworm was higher, and it was also good at hiding. It was difficult to detect.

In the middle of the square formation, a few members were holding a huge energy level detection device that could detect high energy reactions within a certain range.

The perception system of the scouting team or the members with special detection skills,

Use all kinds of methods to detect the surroundings.

Luo Zhe spread out his perception.

The cactus in the distance, the hidden beast under the desert…

Scenes flashed through his mind.

He suppressed his perception power, not daring to be too unbridled, afraid of alarming the extraordinary beast.

Information about the sandworms flashed through his mind.

This kind of beast lived in the desert and could occasionally be seen in other places.

The Digging Sandworms were not considered strong among the beasts. They were generally at the fourth or fifth stage of adulthood. The elites in the group were at the seventh or eighth stage. As for the larger groups of the Digging Sandworms, their leader might have broken through the bottleneck of the high level of awakening.

But that was it.

Compared to the Golden Winged Eagle, Bright Moon Sky Wolf, and other mature beasts that were at the middle and high level, the  Sandworms were not very talented.

The sudden appearance of a Transcendent rank leader made Luo Zhe have no choice but to think about the reason.

The sandstorm shrouded their vision, and the light was a little dim.

The team of the Survey Corps walked in the desert for several minutes, but they did not find the figure of the  Sandworms. Instead, they had destroyed several desert scorpion nests.

In this desert, there seemed to be many strange beasts like desert scorpions, sand mice, sand sculptures…

Hiding in the sandstorm, they attacked the scouting corps from time to time. The team members were determined, but their physical strength inevitably slipped a lot – the potion could not complete the consumption of this aspect.

Suddenly,

Luo Zhe raised his eyebrows and placed his palm on the hilt of his sword.

“Alert.” he said in a low voice, continuing to restrain his aura.

The team members focused.

In a split second, the energy level detection device in the middle of the square formation lit up with a red light, flashing and flashing. The sound became more and more urgent.

“It’s, it’s coming!”

The sand under their feet was stirred like water waves, forming a huge sand vortex, wanting to swallow everyone.

The already prepared members of the Survey Corps jumped outside the sand vortex. The heavy energy level detection device was also carried by one of them. They stepped on the vortex and kicked up dust, arriving outside the range in a few steps.

The sand rotated faster and faster. The vortex sank like a big mouth.

Rumble!

In the midst of the sandstorm, sand and sand splashed up dozens of meters high.

A huge beast sprang out from under the sand and stood upright like a building.

It was like a bug that had been magnified countless times. It had rough yellowish-brown skin. Its mouthparts opened and closed, and its tentacles danced. It looked extremely ferocious and ugly.

It was not a demonic beast.

Instead, it was a native beast.

The rising sandwormroared, and layers of sound waves spread out. A terrifying aura was released.

It knew that these two-legged beasts had walked out of this desert for the first time a few days ago. It was careless and was injured by the weapons of these two-legged beasts.

But now, this was the desert.

And it was the overlord of this desert!

Even two-legged beasts had to die!

The Sandworm King roared, and a huge pillar of fire spewed out, shaking the sand at the same time. Layer after layer of sand crashed forward like waves.

“Blood – Slash -“

The blood-colored light blossomed, and the giant pillar of fire was split apart by the blood-red sword energy.

The blood-colored sword energy continued to slash upwards, but it was already more than half as dim as before.

The Digging Sandworm King panicked. Its long body twisted, quickly falling down, avoiding a little, but it was still slashed a few meters long wound by the sword energy, and blood sprayed out.

How could the two-legged beast be so strong!

In its eyes, Luo Zhe, who was the same as the others, raised his sword again and soared into the sky.

[Break through the air]!

An even larger white sword light slashed out, sweeping past like light.

A line of blood appeared on the upper half of the  Sandworm King. With a hong sound, its head was cut open and fell heavily. Red and green blood organs fell.

The rock worm king’s huge body struggled, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Boom!

The sand was separated like water, and half of the rock worm king’s body drilled into the sand.

It was not dead yet!

Even though it had yet to reach the second rank, the characteristics and vitality of the Sand Worm King had caused it to lose its head and remain alive!

Waves of invisible fluctuations spread out.

The sand surface surged, and countless  Sandworms that were several sizes smaller crawled out from under the sand and pounced towards Luo Zhe and the others from all directions.

In the distance,

As if it was a passive alarm, more and more demonic beasts gathered, and a black Mana Tide rushed over.

Humans, sandworms, and demonic beasts fought each other.

Boom!

Luo Zhe finally released his aura without holding back. He stomped on the ground, and the sand surface was stepped into a deep pit, and gravel exploded.

He followed the Sand Worm King’s aura and slashed out with his sword.

The sand dune collapsed and turned into a sand valley.

Under the countless gravel, one could see the shattered body of the Sand Worm King.

Luo Zhe leaped and blew away the sand. With another flick, he cut open the abdomen of the Sand Worm King. He dug in and groped around before coming out. His body was still clean, and in his hand, he was holding a yellow, cobblestone bead.

He looked at it for a while and put it away.

When he returned to his original position, the battle was nearing its end. The menacing Great Mana Tide was completely killed, and the sandworms scattered and fled the moment the Sandworm King was completely killed.

The huge head of the Sandworm King was not far away. Several members had already gone forward to dig for Origin Crystals. There were also some who were collecting valuable materials from the magic beasts and the sandworms. The other half of the members were still holding their weapons and on guard.

In the wild, no matter what the situation was, they could not relax their vigilance.

Luo Zhe asked and learned that only a few people had suffered light injuries in the battle just now.

At this time,

A squad leader stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and finally said,

“Chief Instructor, I feel a bit strange. It seems that the soul force I just absorbed has become less.”
