The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 82: Shadow of ghosts (middle)
Hundreds of thousands of gold coins covered the desert, and the gaps between the gold coins were shining with the light of rubies, emeralds, sapphires, diamonds, pearls and various pure and flawless crystal stones. Jonah picked up a perfect-shaped spherical ruby. , "If you use it to make an attack star array, the power should be doubled...no, triple it."
Fifty yards ahead is half buried a brass pillar, which should be the end of the drill bit, Jonah quickened his pace with surprise: their backpack appeared not far from the drill bit, packed in a ragged rucksack Full of all kinds of things, the astrologer apprentice had never imagined that he would find so many strange things in a backpack at the same time. He pulled out a huge pan and put first aid supplies in the pot.
I used wine to disinfect Danny’s wound, wrapped a bandage, taped it tightly, changed his clothes, and poured half a pot of water. The male Stewart never woke up, but the complexion on his face improved. Jonah and Hannah also put on spare clothes. The astrologer apprentice put on their own shabby but well-fitting robe. The Stewart Patriarch seemed to have a soft spot for red corps, and put on a flaming tight-fitting leather jacket and a long flaming red. Pants and boots,
"Fortunately, we are on the northwest side of Hou Chong, not too far from the passageway where the sailing boat sails." Hannah raised her hand to shade and looked around. "It's now... probably just after 11 o'clock in the morning. The'Bacteria's Wind' should be about to leave the post-worm node. We need to move to the south, return to the sailing boat, and find a way to get the treasure on the boat."
Jonah followed her to the south, and was taken aback: "Well, what is that black cloud?"
About two or three miles away from the entrance of the tunnel, densely packed sand-eaters are emerging from the exit of the tunnel, scattered into the endless sea of sand. At the same time, there are countless flying small black spots, and many small creatures with wings are formed. A black cloud covered the undulating sky over the sand-eater,
Hannah laughed: "Didn’t you say that it’s the mating season? It’s an army of males. As I said before, all the lives of sand-eaters in the endless sea of sand are bestowed by the queen worms, and females eat the sands. The worm is just the carrier of the worm egg. When passing through the long passage in the worm body, the pregnant female worm will give birth to give birth to new life, and the unpregnant worm will be given an unfertilized egg. The born male sand-eaters spread their wings to the sky, and then began to search for females carrying the eggs. If the females agree, they will mate. After that, the males die, and the females carry the fertilized eggs and begin to cruise until they return again. Some females refuse to conceive when they arrive at the post-worm node. For example, our chirping, three days after leaving the post-worm node, the eggs will dry up and lose their vitality, and the males who have not found a mating partner will also be in three days. The queens die naturally. This is the wonderful world of sand-eaters...Sometimes I think that their lives are still very romantic."
"It turns out that this is the case. If the lifespan of the queen worm reaches the end, the sand eater will not be able to reproduce offspring." Jona couldn't help thinking of this possibility,
Hannah froze for a moment, and then nodded: "It should be. If the worms die, the big worms will go extinct, but life is very magical, and maybe a miracle will happen at that time."
The two people looked at the magnificent mating scene, and said for a while, "I will go to the passageway and wait for the chirping out." Hannah Zhenyi stood up, filled the two guns with spare magic spar, and back Picked up "Climb Henry's Prosthesis" and handed "Summer White Cherry" to Jonah: "You are here to guard your brother. This position is the blind spot of the horoscope parade. Generally, no one will come here. Near the worm There will be no desert beasts. After I board the ship, I find a safe place to anchor, and then drive the boat to pick you up. In short, pay attention to safety."
Jona took the magic pistol and nodded: "You know, you have to be careful too."
Hanna turned and strode forward, waving her hand without looking back: "By the way, pay attention to the sun. The direct sunlight at noon will dehydrate you."
The crimson leather boots ran across the yellow sand lightly, and the astrologer apprentice watched Hannah’s tall and vigorous figure rapidly shrinking, and finally turned into a small black shadow in the undulating sand dunes.
Looking down at Danny who was unconscious, Jonah suddenly felt very lonely. The Backworm's Ridge blocked the northeast wind blowing from the other side of the holy river. The calm sand sea was silent, and a lone bird was high in the sky. Hovering, Jonah looked up at the raptor, but his eyes were burnt by the sudden appearance of the sun. The sun gradually slanted to the west, and the shadow cast by the spine of the worm was shrinking. Jonah hurriedly dragged Danny towards the feet of the worm. Only when you get close can you find out that the worms are indeed moving slowly. The part of the granite stone wall embedded in the yellow sand constantly emits fine sand, which shows that this huge object is moving forward with extremely small strides.
Place Danny in place, Jonah sat beside him and looked around boredly. The ocean of gold coins under the direct sunlight was amazingly bright. The astrologer apprentice rubbed his eyes and suddenly remembered the wonderful experience in the cave, the one in the jar. The naked girl inside actually flew up, read the Elvish seal on the stone pillar, and then returned to the glass jar. What was going on, he opened the deerskin bag and poured the contents onto the robe. In addition to his own miscellaneous items, there are three things he took in the mysterious storage room, a bottle of star dust, which he used a little when making the attacking star array; a heavy book with a cowhide cover, this The two items were taken from Erlan Dantlier’s storage shelf, except for the title page, the book has not been read; a glass jar containing a naked girl, the lid was screwed on by him, and the girl closed Without moving his eyes, it looks like a lifelike doll,
Jonah curiously raised the glass jar and looked at it carefully. The girl hiding in it was about the size of his finger. Three pairs of transparent wings were folded like a layer of veil covering the body, with a delicate waist. With the plump **** and slender thighs, Jonah blushed with the figure of a pocket girl, but he still couldn’t help rotating the glass jar, looking for clues to this wonderful creation,
"Hey, you found the little boy." Suddenly a voice rang in his ear, and the astrologer apprentice turned his head abruptly, and saw Danny's big face close at hand, so scared that he almost threw the jar out. ,
Except for his pale face, the male Stewart looked full of energy, not as if he had just been seriously injured. This amazingly resilient guy grabbed the jar from Jona’s hand and hugged it in his arms, grinning. : "Goods friend, it's not good for you to be like this. Little boy is the mascot of'Bacteria's Blast'. If you sneak her away, you will be lucky."
"You, you are all right." Jonah pointed at the other person in shock, "Don't move, the wound will bleed."
"Come on." Danny snorted: "Apart from the best cook, deck sailor, sniper, and swordsman in the endless sea of sand, I'm still the most resistant person. You can ask my uncle sailors. , Who didn’t appreciate my recovery ability, hum."
"Do you remember what happened just now." Jonah shook his hand in front of his eyes to confirm that the other party was in normal spirit.
"What's the matter of fighting with the undead of Yagu, oh yes, there is a guy who is very powerful, unlike ordinary undead warriors, where is he, has he destroyed him?...Speaking of which, where are we now? "Only then did Danny Stewart notice the changes in the surrounding environment, and looked around confusedly, "That's not a mating cloud formed by males, we came out,...ahhhh, gold coins."
Jonah covered his eyes and sighed. With his toes, he could guess what Danny would do now. There was a scream, and the male Stewart plunged into the sea of gold coins and swam. , Put the best gems of various colors in his arms with both hands, turned his face to pillow on the gems, showing a relieved look: "Now it’s worth my death... Wait, did I say this once? ."
"The enemy seems to have disappeared." Jonah picked up the glass jar that Danny had dropped. "Hanna went back to the entrance of the passage and was ready to greet the chirping out. Later, she would pick us up in a small boat. What happened just now Many things, let’s talk to you slowly when you have time... After all, what's the matter with the girl in this jar, is Xiaoguai her name."
"The boat can’t hold many gold coins, so you can only pick up gems and get it...The boat carrying the boat is a small bug called the pseudo-sandworm. They can only grow up to five yards long and have a short lifespan. , But there is no such abominable habit of figure eight parade..." Danny lay on the treasure and kept calculating, "It takes about six to eight trips to complete the loading. By the way, a fishing net is needed to filter the gold coins out of the sand. , To waste a gold coin is to waste several bottles of gold-labeled cactus wine, to waste a symbolic dancer, to waste a wonderful life..."
"Hello," Jonah said with a headache, "answer my question first."
"I don’t know what her name is. She stayed in that jar and hidden deep in the storage room since I remembered her. I have helped her by this name since I met her once, although She can't move or speak, but she always feels that there is some special fate between us..." Danny waved his hand,
The astrologer apprentice said strangely: "But she flew out of the jar in the cave just now and spoke."
"Oh,...what." Danny jumped up, his eyes staring out of his eyes: "She is alive, I always thought she was a doll or something."
"Yes, she came alive, and she also chanted an Elf language." Jonah raised the jar, "Look, the text on the bottle cap also looks like Elf text, is there any connection?"
Danny patted his forehead: "Elvish language, how come I didn't expect it, although I haven't learned this unfamiliar language, but I can still understand it in a dictionary." He said, he hurriedly I ran to the backpack and rummaged, then ran back excitedly with a dictionary, and sat down beside Jonah with a plop, "Let me see, let me see."
