The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 88: The Tail of the Giant Beast (Part 1)


Before the body and mind wake up, the soul of the astrologer apprentice suddenly discovers the fact that he is constantly falling into a coma, missing one key event after another, and splitting his life into incoherent memories with disappearing memories. Color pictures,

The salty desert wind filled his mouth, and Jona woke up with a cough, and just moved his hands and feet, he was tumbling by the strong wind blowing in his face, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." No matter how far away, there was a fierce dull pain from his waist. A pillar-shaped object stopped his impulse. The astrologer apprentice danced awkwardly with his hands and feet and fell to the ground. Against the wind, he tried his best to stabilize his body. He leaned on the pillar and opened his eyes with difficulty.

"Damn...what is this place."

Jona’s eyes widened, and grains of sand immediately penetrated into his eyelids, causing pain in his eyes.

The golden-yellow Matlaketili hangs diagonally in the sky. The sun should look like four or five o’clock in the afternoon. Of course, he is still in the endless sand sea. The sunlight illuminates the endless stretch of sand dunes, except for the blue sky and yellow sand. There is no other color that disturbs the simple color scheme of the desert. There is no worm, no sailing boat, and no Tantuha natives. This is a deserted sea of ​​sand. The only life that exists is the confused Jona himself,,,, plus Unidentified object moving at high speed under him,

Judging from the oncoming wind, he was galloping in the desert at a crazy speed of forty or fifty knots. Jonah looked around in fear. It was a strange and uneven place, and the ground under his feet was covered with high and low. Short bulges and pits, many sharp tops and thick bottoms pierced into the sky at various angles. Behind him is also such a conical column. The material of the root thorns, ground and giant thorns is dark brown, hard and elastic, not stone or metal. When touched by hand, the rough scaly surface seems to carry a certain temperature.

"Ghost...Ghost Bahamas." Jonah retracted his finger like an electric shock. The speed, look and touch remind him at the same time that he is in a dangerous place, an extremely dangerous place,

The most terrifying legend of the endless sea of ​​sand, a black object cruising like a ghost in the desert. It has the most majestic volume, fastest speed, most powerful attack power and most brutal personality in the entire desert area. No one Can see the true face of the ghost Bahamas, sand-eaters, man-made objects, or beasts. Numerous mysterious and mysterious speculations have been passed on among the desert residents. Since the ghost of the Bahamas suddenly appeared in the endless sand sea a hundred years ago, regardless of the Tantuha bonfires The ancient ballads on the side are still the bedtime stories of Tocharo merchants’ babies swaddling babies. This ghost that unscrupulously attacks any object on the way forward has become synonymous with death and destruction, and imprints the shadow of terror on the endless sand sea forever. Every new life is imprinted. Subconsciously,

The ghost of the Bahamas is named after its ghostly image and the name of the small desert city that was completely destroyed when it first appeared. It does not follow the 8-character parade route of the sandworm. Observing the movement trajectory of the ghost Bahamas in awe, I found that it seems to be drawing an extremely complex ancient pattern on the entire endless sand sea. Every line left by the ghost in the desert for nearly a hundred years is this complicated pattern. Part of it, no one knows what it wants to paint, and no one can predict the movement of the ghost Bahamas. They can only watch the sand dunes, large insects, buildings and human bodies torn into pieces again and again. Even the big sand waterfall has not been able to slow down. Its speed is half a minute. What will happen if the ghost Bahamas meets the worm? This question is the deepest fear in the soul of the Tantuha. Fortunately time flies, the path of the ghost never coincides with the worm node,

The naturalist Raquel Rossena, who has been tortured for his life by the legendary "phytophobia", recorded the trajectory of the ghostly Bahamas in his posthumous work "Memoirs of Rossena". Each node of the trajectory represents one In the tragic accident, Rossena spent a lot of energy to find the exact location of these accidents from the folk tales, songs, historical records and relics of the endless sand sea, and drew this shocking trajectory map, although many parts of the pattern are lack of information. It is blank, but in any case, this is the most detailed and thorough research record that mankind has done on the ghost of the Bahamas. Before figuring out what this picture did, the naturalist Rossena died of chronic malnutrition. His research did not find a successor, because the age of sailing has arrived, and the endless sea of ​​sand has entered the era of glorious plunder of the king of sand pirates. Scientists from Tocharo were looted by the Zawi bandits and lost the magnifying glass and telescope. , Walking stick, sundial, changing underwear, and the courage to continue to explore, I can’t continue my predecessor’s career,

The above information comes from "The Geographical Survey of the Southern Continent". After half an hour of hysteria and half an hour of futile calls for help, Jonah resignedly took out the big book in the deerskin bag and found the chapter about the ghost of the Bahamas. Read it,

"Ghost Bahamas..." After reading a paragraph, the astrologer apprentice desperately closed the book and looked up at the sky: "Why did you take me away and trap me in this ghost place again,... Betrayer Segles, this is another fateful arrangement, right? Why separate me from my partner every time? Is the prophesied me destined to move forward alone, tell me why this is?"

The sound was blown away by the wind as soon as the sound exited, and the ghost Bahamas galloping at a speed of fifty knots turned the air into a hard wall. Even if Jonah moved behind the giant thorns to hide from the wind, he still swayed. , Like a tumbleweed wandering everywhere without support,

The sun has slanted to the west, there are no clouds on the horizon, and no sunset glow. Just now, the sky and the earth were still full of bright red sunlight. The next instant, Matraktiri fell into the distant horizon, and the endless sea of ​​sand was enveloped in the night. Jonah tied himself to the giant thorn with a belt and curled up as much as possible. The feeling of cold, hunger and thirst gnawed his soul like a monster. The rumbling wind made him unable to think. At this moment, he really I really feel the fear, the fear of loneliness, the fear of the future, the fear of death,

"If... if I were the chosen one, then I would never die here alone, on the ghost of the Bahamas..." The astrologer apprentice gritted his teeth, clenched Syrahfauna, and lit The illuminated star array at the top of the staff, the glow of firelight shining on the back of the ghost Bahamas, if there are witnesses watching from the side, you will be able to see the giant galloping in the night leaving a bright red streamer in the dark sand sea,

Light gave Jonah a brief comfort. He tried his best to throw the horrible thoughts into his mind, warming his cold hands with a breath, and observing the back of the ghost Bahamas with the light of the illuminated star array, without a doubt. , The ghost of the Bahamas is not a man-made object, but a living creature. The back skin of this monster is covered with ugly pits and giant thorns. It looks like a battlefield experiencing a fierce battle.

From the perspective of Jonah, I can’t see the head and tail of the behemoth, nor can I guess what it looks like. After thinking about it for a long time, the apprentice astrologer finally made up his mind to explore. Sitting and waiting for death is the worst idea. Walking on the back of a horror behemoth is the second worst idea, but at least, you can see a glimmer of life,

Jonah untied his belt and fastened his robes, buckled his hood on his head, supported his body with a stick to leave the hidden place, and walked slowly towards the leeward direction. The wind blowing from behind immediately made him sway, Jonah Staggering forward as much as possible, while secretly rejoicing that the attack of the ghost Bahamas did not bring him new scars. He checked his whole body just now, except for some abrasions and bruises on the Backworm’s Spine. A new wound, how this monster threw himself on his back unscathed, this question made him puzzled,

Twenty or thirty yards away, the terrain dropped significantly, jumped down a slope, and the wind was immediately weaker. Jona was relieved to sit on the ground and gasp. His judgment is correct. If he was just now The position is at the center of the back of the behemoth, then heading towards the leeward direction, that is, heading towards the tail of the beast, there should be a descending arc. This is a standard feature of vertebrates. The giant beast with temperature is indeed not a cold-blooded sand-eater, but a warm-blooded higher vertebrate. What kind of vertebrate can grow to this size? The largest vertebrate mentioned in the "Geographical Calculation of the Western Continent" It is a close relative of the Earth Traveling Dragon, a half-dragon creature named "Ebenezer Mountain Monitor", the largest can reach 30,000 pounds in weight, and can eat one acre of cabbage for a meal. The behemoth in front of Na’s eyes is two laps larger than the "Racing Star" catamaran carried by the giant sand-eater Leiden sisters, and at the same time, it can maintain a surprisingly high forward speed. The impossible,

Jonah rummaged through the buckskin bag and found some drier cake residue. He greedily poured the cake residue into his mouth, chewed slowly, reluctantly swallowed the precious food, and rested for a few minutes. He decided to move on. The night has come, and the night temperature in the desert has dropped rapidly. If he does not find a safe haven, his physical strength will be quickly lost until he loses the last precious heat and becomes a cold corpse.

The astrologer apprentice increased the output of the illuminated star array. Light and heat are two manifestations of the same energy. It is not difficult for the illuminated star array to release appropriate heat. Although the body warmth cannot stop the physical strength from passing, at least Giving Jonah the motivation to move forward, he gritted his teeth and continued to move forward—
