Chapter 19 - Sand Jiao

Aisha and Muhadi were teleported out of the Hall of Dust together. At this time, the day was not over, and the dark red sun was still hanging in the sky, glaring at all beings and illuminating the desert.

This training ended much earlier than the previous one, and halfway through, Tianqin suddenly became abnormal. The various expressions on the face continued to appear and flashed, and smiles, tears, rage, and sorrow appeared like a slideshow. When she finally opened her mouth again, it was the middle-aged man's voice that came out.

"I still have something to do, you get out." Then the two were teleported out.

"What's going on?" Muhadi looked at the dust hall behind him in confusion, "Is that the end?"

"It seems that there is a dispute between several personalities of Master." Aisha explained, "There are rumors about her in my family. It is said that her six personalities do not live in harmony. They have different ideals and concepts. , even the genders are different."

"Usually it is the personality master called Tianqin, but other personalities are not willing to dormant for a long time, and from time to time they want to 'float' to be the master. At this time, disputes between personalities will occur. Although we can't see it , but inside that body, there should be a life-and-death struggle happening right now." Aisha looked back at the hall after saying that.

Muhadi thought that Fatuma should be waiting outside at this time, and after a few chatter, he was ready to leave. Before leaving, Aisha suddenly stopped him and said mysteriously: "I heard from the psionicists in the clan that the training of Tianqin is not that simple, there will be a practical test, and only after passing the test is the real Become a recognized psion, and the loser is death."

"No matter what we are good at, we must strengthen our strength as soon as possible. Take care."

This sentence weighed heavily in Muhadi's heart, and he was thinking about this question on the way back, actual combat test? But Tianqin obviously didn't teach anything? What kind of test is it?

On the way, Muhadi made up his mind that he must find Fahd to learn swordsmanship and fighting, and he could not die in this other world without knowing it.

Fatumai is also riding silently. She looks in a bad mood today. I will kill you if you dare to bother me.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and crossed the sand dunes and a handful of desert plants. The sun was gradually sinking, and no one noticed the small movements on the surface of the sand.

Fatuma first reflected that years of experience in desert survival made her pay attention to the movements around her even when she was absent-minded. "what?"

The desert gave the answer: more than ten meters away, the surface of the sandy land was slightly undulating like waves, the sand grains were chapping, and some kind of monster was lurking under the sand, approaching fast.

"Be careful!" Fatuma reminded immediately, this movement seemed to anger the monster under the sand, its speed was fast, an ugly black dorsal fin broke through the sand surface, and was rushing towards the two of them like a knife dash forward.

Muhadi immediately drew his knife, but heard Fatuma warn loudly, "Don't entangle, let's run!"

Although Fatuma's reaction was correct, it was too late. In the next instant, the monster rushed to a place less than a few meters in front of the horse, and actually jumped from the sand and rushed towards the rider on the horse.

shark? ! Muhadi couldn't help being surprised when he saw the whole picture of the monster. Indeed, this monster looks a lot like a shark on Earth. Its body is very huge, its muscles are gray and gray, and its skin is as tough as leather, showing a kind of horny texture, deep in the eye sockets. Protected by multiple eyelids, the flames of hatred blaze there. Its pectoral fins are large and thick, and it looks strong and powerful, and there are hundreds of razor-like fangs densely distributed in a large mouth.

Some scales on the monster's skin seemed to reflect light, sometimes as white as fresh snow, sometimes as dark as shadows, dotted with the deep dark red of the sun of Athas. When it jumped in the air, the surface of its body rippled like water.

Fatuma lay on his back on the horse's back, avoiding the fatal blow, and quickly pulled out a dagger with one hand and stabbed the monster's abdomen heavily. It's a pity that the "Sand Jiao" has rough skin and thick flesh, and this time it hardly caused any damage.

Muhadi wanted to step forward to help, but helplessly saw that the "Sand Jiao" fell on the sand and disappeared again. Only the wavy marks left on the sandy surface indicated that it hadn't gone far.

"Don't entangle, let's rush out with the help of horsepower, sand worms act in groups!" Fatumai warned loudly.

Before he finished speaking, another monster suddenly jumped out of the sand. This one was aimed at Muhadi. His mouth was wide open, and his small eyes showed undisguised hunger and ferocity. Perhaps the previous training had an effect. Seeing the giant shark rushing towards him, Mohadi was calm in his heart. The machete that had been on the move for a long time immediately slashed at the tip of the monster's nose, and at the same time, he leaned back like Fatuma. Dodging the opponent's attack, the speed is not much slower than Fatuma.

The monster missed a hit, but took a hit on its sensitive nose. Although it wasn't hurt, it became furious. After it fell back into the sand, it didn't dive like the previous one, but turned its head and bit the mount on Muhadi's crotch. The big stallion on the latter's crotch couldn't dodge, and was bitten in the horse's leg. With a pained cry, he knelt forward.

"Damn". Fatumai cursed and approached the horse, "Jump on my horse!"

Muhadi did not recruit, but quickly dismounted and tumbled on the sand. At this time, the third sand scorpion, which had been lurking for a long time, also jumped out of the sand. It had been hidden behind the two of them before, and even Fatuma didn't find it. Muhadi saw it jumped out of the sand and headed straight for Fatuma. With a loud shout, the machete swung out and slashed on its pectoral fins. But its enormous power overturned the horse the elf girl was riding.

The elf girl jumped off her horse and ran to Muhadi's side. Three sand dragons swooped on the two injured horses, killing the two poor beasts almost instantly.

The way sand worms eat is far from beautiful. Their teeth have no molars, so they can only bite but not chew. I saw a sand dragon bite the injured horse fiercely, and then spun its body violently, tearing off a huge piece of meat. Broken organs and blood were scattered all over the floor.

The two seized the opportunity to run as fast as they could, but they couldn't run far. The three sand worms finished the horse, and they chased after them like a shadow, and circled around the two of them.

"This is good, one could have escaped, but now we are all trapped here." Fatumai said so, but he didn't seem to be very depressed.

"I left you here. After I go back, will the tribesmen be able to get around me?" Muhadi and the elf girl stood back to back, took a defensive posture, and answered casually.

"You still have some loyalty."

The surrounding sand worms were about to move, and finally, the largest of them couldn't hold back and launched an attack again.

Due to its huge size, the sand dragon slammed directly into the middle of the two, trying to separate the two, and then smashed each of them. At the critical moment, Fatumai staggered half a step to the right, and Muhadi staggered half a step to the left.

Sand Jiao leaped between the two, Fatuma took out the dagger on the left, and gave the monster a backhand, but because his body was still unsteady and unbalanced, the tip of the dagger only slipped shallowly on the tough outer skin of the opponent. Pass.

"Done!" Fatuma cursed vulgarly.

Calm down, Muhadi told himself, there must be some way.

Another sand crocodile tried to take advantage of it, and this time Muha's knife left a scratch on it.

Sensual deception! Muhadi suddenly remembered the word, and the training content of Lyra came to his mind.

Although the sand scorpion has eyes, when the sand is low, it must not rely on visual positioning, it must rely on other senses, and then think of the chasing sound that accompanies the sand swarms, the answer is almost ready to come out.

"Listen!" Muhadi shouted excitedly.

"What?" Fatuma asked suspiciously. Now that the sand worms jumped up and attacked one after another, she couldn't handle it.

"This monster is located by hearing!" Muhadi shouted, more and more certain in his heart, the positioning mode of the sand worm should be similar to that of the bat on the earth. The difference is that because they are ambush under the sand, the sound waves will be damaged when they pass through the interface between the sand and the air, so the sound waves emitted are of great power and low frequency, so that they make an audible clapping sound. "We're going to interfere with their hearing!"

Fatuma had some doubts in his heart, the sand dragon is a very rare monster, especially in the Tyre area, it is very rare, and there may not be one for decades. They prefer softer sand, so generally stay away from the sandy Tyre plains. It is precisely because the sand worms are rare that no one has communicated their weaknesses. Do these monsters really rely on hearing?

There was no hesitation in the situation, Fatuma chose to believe, "What to do!"

"Is there anything that makes noise!"

"There are only two psionic energy stones!" The so-called psionic energy stones are small crystals infused with psychic energy. Anyone with knowledge of psionic power can use it, but it is not limited to being a psionic talent. It is similar to a consumable magic scroll, but Atas has a special status in magic, so magic scrolls are rare, but psionic stones are rare. Not a lot.

The two psionic stones mentioned by Fatumai happened to be infused with first-order psionic power to imitate the sound, which was often used in the war of the tribesmen in the desert to scare the other side's mounts.

Fatuma flashed a pounce sideways, and the huge shark snout passed by a few inches away. A psionic energy stone was thrown out, and the stone fell to the ground and shattered immediately, and a huge noise was released, as if filling the sky and the earth.

Sha Jiao's movements slowed down, but he was still staring at the two of them. Am I mistaken, or is the sound not enough to mislead the monster? Muhadi was puzzled, and then immediately understood that the sound of the psionic energy stone fell on the sand, and the sound wave propagated under the sand attenuates very quickly.

"Use it for me!" Muhadi shouted at Fatuma, who threw out the spirit stone and was almost bitten by the sand worm who had been watching for a long time.

Mohadi received the spiritual stone, inserted it into the ground desperately, and then issued an order to activate it.

In an instant, the sand seemed to be shaken, and the three sand dragons seemed to have gone crazy, no longer attacking, but tumbling aimlessly. One of them even rushed to the two of them recklessly. Fatuma was quick-witted and inserted a machete into its exposed abdomen.

"Let's run!" Muhadi knew that Sha Jiao had been subjected to too much noise all of a sudden, and was temporarily deaf. If he didn't run now, how long would he wait.

Fatuma agreed, grabbed Muhadi's hand, and ran fast.
