Chapter 209 [Saint of the Sand]

"Gurgle..."

As soon as Shane took a few steps in the desert, a strong feeling of hunger rose from his abdomen, almost swallowing up his reason.

Under the influence of hunger, the sand around him seemed to have turned into some kind of delicious food, with a strong attraction.

"Is this the side effect of [devouring evolution]?"

Shane understood something in his heart.

This instinct of hunger may become the driving force for him to continue hunting deep-sea creatures.

But now, Shane can only take out some reserve dry food from the space ring and eat it whole.

After eating it, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

After eating all the dry food, he was not even 10% full.

His stomach seemed to have become a bottomless pit. No matter how much food was thrown in, there was no reaction, but the hunger became more intense.

"Hiss... [Gluttony] is this feeling?"

Shane suddenly understood the feeling of the steam turbine on the [Black Swan] and muttered to himself.

"Be nicer to Xiao Zheng in the future..."

In fact, there are still many common ingredients in Xia En's space ring, such as dried meat and dried fish.

——Most of the prey that was hunted before were placed in Feiya's space ring.

And the intuition told Xia En that what he wanted to eat now was stronger and fresher meat!

Rustle...Rustle...

Just then, a strange sound came from the desert not far away.

Xia En turned his head and looked.

I saw that the tall sand dune seemed to come alive suddenly, flowing like water.

Seeing this strange scene, Xia En was not surprised but happy, his eyes shining.

"Prey... Found you!"

Relying on the talent of [Blood Power] and some strange instinct, he realized that under the sand dune, there was a creature with extremely strong vitality.

The next moment.

Xia En's body was like an arrow from a string, rushing straight to the sand dune.

At the same time, the blood-colored sword in his hand appeared, and he slashed it down!

Boom!

The wind howled, and the terrible air waves mixed with the yellow sand spread together.

The 4.5 comprehensive quality just after the promotion was fully reflected in this sword.

With just one sword, this tall sand dune was completely blown away, leaving only a gully dozens of meters long.

However, the prey hidden under the sand dune disappeared, leaving only a few dark red bloodstains.

"Humph, you run fast."

Xia En felt the growing hunger in his stomach and said.

"Today, I will eat you!"

...

...

Somewhere in the desert.

A girl in a yellow robe stood up from the sand, shook her body, and shook off the sand on the yellow robe.

However, just such a simple action made the girl pale.

The reason was the two gunshot wounds on her shoulder and lower abdomen.

The secret power of the blood clan remained in the wound, constantly destroying her body.

Before the sandstorm came, although she successfully injured the powerful outsider, she also attracted revenge from the other party.

That guy, risking serious injury, forced himself to attack in the sandstorm and shot himself twice.

"What a crazy woman!"

The girl cursed secretly: "Don't let me meet you again, or I will shoot your eyeballs off!"

Soon, another female native came to her side and asked with concern.

"Saint Lady, are you okay?"

It can be heard that the language they use is still the common language, but the tone and pronunciation are somewhat different from the current common language of the continent.

It is closer to the common language of the continent in ancient times.

The girl shook her head: "I'm fine."

"How are the others?"

The female native looked around and said: "Most people were lost in the sandstorm, only the three of us are still with you."

Not long after, the remaining two natives also came to the girl, waiting for her next order.

"No matter what, let's go back to the tribe first."

The saint thought for a while and said, "With the guidance of the Lord of Light, they will find their way home."

None of the three natives had any objections.

However, just when they were about to leave, the female native's face changed slightly and she looked in a direction behind her.

A strong vibration was coming from there.

The sand in the desert surged like a wave, the sand dunes on the surface kept creeping and deforming, and there were clouds of smoke and dust rising into the sky.

"Damn, it's a giant sandworm!"

Seeing this, the girl also changed her face: "Just at this time..."

The giant sandworm is a special alien creature in [Sand Island]. It is huge, strong, and cruel.

It is covered with a layer of hard armor, and can drill into the sand sea at will and launch a sneak attack from under the desert.

Even for the natives of [Sand Island], the giant sandworm is a very difficult enemy.

Every year, many natives die in the mouth of the giant sandworm.

Under normal circumstances, the girl might not be afraid of it.

But now, several companions were scattered, and she herself was seriously injured and could not use her best archery.

Facing the giant sandworm, it would be very dangerous!

The three natives around her quickly realized the urgency of the situation, and the female native immediately said: "Saint Lady, you go first!"

"We will cover you!"

The girl bit her lip and said with a firm look: "No!"

"We, the Yongyue clan, have never had a precedent of a saint abandoning her fellow clan members and escaping."

As she spoke, she pulled out the dark yellow long bow from the mark on her chest, preparing to face the rolling yellow sand coming in this direction.

The eyes of the three natives were moved. They said nothing more and just silently guarded the girl.

As the giant sandworm moved, a small sandstorm swept over.

Not only that, the desert beneath the four of them seemed to have turned into a quicksand whirlpool, pulling them down towards the center of the whirlpool.

Most people would not be able to stand firmly on this kind of ground and would be swallowed up by quicksand in an instant.

After all, the four of them are local residents of [Sand Island] and have long adapted to the desert environment, so naturally they will not be panicked by this.

The girl opened her eyes wide, trying to find the giant sandworm in the yellow sand.

In her current state, she can only shoot one more arrow at most.

She must kill this sandworm with this arrow!

At this time.

The quicksand beneath his feet suddenly spurted upward, and an extremely ugly head emerged from under the desert.

Rather than a "head", it was more like the end of several large split mouths, like a blooming flower of flesh and blood, filled with densely packed sharp teeth.

The brain, eyes, nose, ears...these organs simply do not exist in this ugly sandworm.

In an instant, the girl opened her eyes wide, drew her long bow, and was about to shoot into the sandworm's mouthparts.

The three natives also felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, preparing to block the sandworm's mouth with their bodies.

What the four of them didn't expect was.

The giant sandworm had no desire to attack them. It just took a deep breath and then plunged into the quicksand.

Until the sandworm's body was completely submerged in the desert, several natives were still in a daze.

The giant sandworm has a cruel temperament and is extremely aggressive.

Seeing that they were alone, there was no reason not to launch an attack, right?

"How is this going?"

The female native looked confused and asked, "Doesn't this sandworm dislike us?"

Another native guessed: "Is it coming out of the desert just to get some air?"

The girl recalled the actions of the sandworm, feeling a bit hasty and panicked for no reason, and couldn't help but murmured: "Why do I feel... it seems to be running away?"

"Is there something chasing it?"

The female native's heart skipped a beat.

This giant sandworm alone is already an enemy they cannot deal with. What could be the existence that can make the sandworm flee in panic?

The girl breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, we are safe, for now..."

Before she finished speaking, suddenly, another gust of wind howled past them.

"Why are you here again! Hasn't the sandstorm subsided yet?"

The girl turned her head and was about to protect her body with her yellow robe, but her pupils suddenly narrowed.

Because she saw...

In the middle of the sandstorm caused by the strong wind, there was a figure, running towards him at an extremely fast speed.

In other words, it was the arrival of that person that caused this sandstorm!

"……How can it be?"

However, the man in the sandstorm did not notice the existence of these four people at this time.

All he could see was the plump and attractive sandworm.

This strong wind came and went away just as quickly.

A group of four people saw the strong wind heading straight for the sandworm.

And soon, a bloody sword light instantly spanned a hundred meters and fell directly into the desert.

The entire desert seemed to be quiet because of this sword.

Immediately afterwards, the sand sea began to shake - it was the giant sandworms struggling desperately underground.

A large amount of yellow sand was thrown into the air and fell down one after another.

The unlucky group of four happened to be within the bounds of this yellow sand, so naturally they couldn't escape.

…

…

Not long after.

The girl crawled out of the sand with difficulty and took two quick breaths.

In the situation just now, even she couldn't help but eat several mouthfuls of sand.

The girl rubbed her shoulder. The wound seemed to hurt a little more, and she couldn't help but muttered.

"Unlucky, unlucky, unlucky..."

"My luck today seems to be really not very good."

Just as she was muttering in a low voice, she suddenly smelled a unique smell of meat and couldn't help but swallow softly.

She went out in a hurry today and hadn't had enough lunch yet.

The girl looked in the direction of the scent, but couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw the lee of the sand dunes not far away.

A man was sitting by a campfire, where a grill had been set up.

There is a large ball of milky white meat on the grill. As it is constantly turned and grilled, the meat is fragrant and gradually takes on a golden color.

What really surprised the girl was that next to the man, there was a fat sandworm corpse.

It was the giant sandworm that was raging earlier!

"It's him?"

After seeing the other person's face, the girl thought for a moment and soon remembered the young man's identity.

Isn't this the outsider being chased by that crazy woman?

But he didn't seem so strong before, right?

"Are you hiding your strength?"

The girl guessed in her heart: "The adults in the clan have said that outsiders are very insidious and cunning, good at hiding their own strength, and full of bad intentions."

"Yes, this guy should be that kind of person!"

Thinking of this, the girl looked at the young man with alert eyes.

Inexplicably, another thought flashed through her mind -

"But this guy is pretty good-looking..."

Pooh, pooh, pooh!

What's the point of looking good!

After all, he's just a despicable outsider!

As the girl's mind was fluctuating, the three natives who followed her also crawled out of the sand.

Soon, they all found the young man enjoying a feast next to the sand dunes, and they couldn't help but show a vigilant look.

The female native leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered: "Saint Lady, what should we do now?"

"Do you want to take action?"

The girl shook her head: "We are not his opponents."

Even the giant sandworm died without any suspense. With their current combat power, taking action is to die.

The female native asked again: "Then... do you want to escape?"

The girl's face was a little bitter.

When dealing with the sandworms before, the man did not pay attention to them.

But now, she clearly felt that the young man's eyes fell on them from time to time, and he had obviously discovered them.

In this desert without any obstacles, once you run away, it is only a matter of time to be caught.

You can't fight, and you can't escape.

This is why the girl is in a dilemma.

After hesitating for a moment, the girl gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go and ask him what he wants!"

"I helped him just now. At worst, we can just fight him."

The three wanted to persuade him, but they couldn't think of a better way, so they could only follow the girl and walk towards the young man.

However, the closer they got to the young man, the stronger the smell of meat became, with a strange smell they had never smelled before.

The girl suppressed her greed and asked with a stern face, "Hey, outsider over there, you..."

Xia En raised a string of fragrant roasted sandworm meat and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"

"...Ah?"

The girl was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"You want to bribe me with it? I, Sha Jingjing, can't just be a string of roasted meat..."

"Gurgle..."

The sound of stomach peristalsis from the girl's abdomen interrupted her solemn words.

Even though her face was mostly covered by her robe, the slightly red skin on her neck still showed her restless mood.

"Ahem."

Xia En coughed twice and said as if nothing had happened.

"Really not eating? Just consider it as my repayment for your arrow."

With his current perception, he naturally heard the conversation between Sha Jingjing and other natives and recognized their identities.

In the mouth of the vampire Twilight, she seemed to be called——

[Saint of Sand]! ?

Such an opportunity to build a good relationship with the natives, Xia En would certainly not miss it.

That's why this conversation took place.

"Hmph, don't underestimate me! You outsiders are insidious and cunning. You must have poisoned this barbecue!"

Sha Jingjing said with great backbone: "Even if I starve to death, I will not eat anything from you!"

Xia En sighed: "Oh, that's a pity, these spices are all good things."

"Not to mention [Sand Island], even the islands under the jurisdiction of the Federation can't buy them."

As he said, Xia En ate happily.

"Spice? What is that?"

Sha Jingjing smelled the good smell and couldn't help asking her fellow tribesmen around her.

The female native next to her whispered: "It is said that it is something that makes food more delicious. It seems to be more precious than gold outside the island!"

"Saint, this guy doesn't seem to have poisoned..."

Sha Jingjing's brain turned.

If this outsider wants to kill her, she can't escape anyway. If she eats one more piece of his barbecue before she dies, wouldn't it be a profit for her?

If the outsiders don't want to kill her, isn't it a win for her to eat a few pieces of barbecue for free?

Thinking about this clearly, the girl's mindset instantly became open-minded.

She stretched out her hand and said generously: "Give me a skewer!"

...

...

After a while.

Sha Jingjing held a piece of barbecue and ate it with oil dripping from her mouth, like a little cat.

"Hmm, it smells so good!"

However, Xia En's attention fell on the top of Sha Jingjing's head after she took off her hood.

There, a pair of furry dog ​​ears stood up, as if listening to the slightest movement around at all times.

The true identity of this [Saint of Sand] is actually a sub-human! ?

Not only that, the three natives next to her also have similar characteristics.

At this moment, Sha Jingjing said: "Don't get me wrong, we are not the sub-humans you outsiders say."

"But the noble Moon Song Clan!"
