Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

At dusk, a steel warship slowly landed on the Gobi Desert in the glow of the sun, and the plasma stream set off a man-made sandstorm.

When the dust settled, on the bridge of the "Trojan Horse", a calm and handsome black young man got up and walked to the porthole to look out the desert scenery.

The "Great Desert" is immersed in the fiery red sunset, and the rolling sand dunes move slowly with the wind in a degree that the naked eye cannot detect, like a giant beast that chooses to devour people.

Yin Jian suddenly had a subtle sense of immediacy in front of him, and he pondered for a long time, and finally remembered that when he participated in an archaeological internship on Planet Zo-three years ago, he had faced such a desolate, silent, and lifeless landscape all day long.

However, he knew in his heart that seeing may not be believing, just as Xiaobai and her people are sleeping in the depths of the Z-o3 Great Desert, this "Heavenly Desert" is not a forbidden area for life, at least for nearly a thousand years, the Tromurs and the Desert Zerg have regarded this barren land as their hometown, and they have fought for territory.

The Celestial Desert is the last stop of the "Trojan Horse" on its round-the-world journey, and the destination is the "Mirage Tower", the last fortress of the Tromurs, this legendary tower that can sneak into the desert and shuttle is the highest crystallization of alchemy.

Bartman and his people were very cautious and would never reveal the trajectory of the "Mirage Tower" to outsiders, so Yin Jian could only wait for them to take the initiative to come and contact him.

Picking up the "Atlas of the Circle" and opening it, the nine alchemy runes were neatly engraved on the fish and goose notes, Yin Jian was not worried about being released by the old man Baartman, the inheritance of these warlock empires was worth any risk for the old guy.

As he was pondering, the rhythmic footsteps of Captain Vincent came behind him, Mr. Captain had lost both legs in the war with the pirates, and although the prosthetic limbs could be realistic in appearance and function, the texture was different from flesh and blood.

"Your Excellency, please look at the direction of seven o'clock, it seems that something is unusual."

Yin Jian looked in the direction suggested by Captain Vincent, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

At the end of the gaze, on the horizon where the remnant sun and the yellow sand are intertwined, a column of black smoke rises. This situation is quite in line with the artistic conception of the ancient poem "The desert is lonely and the smoke is straight, and the sun sets on the long river", but Yin Jian knew in his heart that this phenomenon is rare in the desert, and it is usually not a good sign.

"Captain Vincent, I need a small sand dinghy, please prepare it for me right away." Where the smoke rises, there must be a fire, and Yin Jian is worried that the Tromurs are in trouble, so he decides to go to the scene of the fire as much as possible.

"Your Excellency, I admire your adventurous spirit, but it is safer to sail the ship over for safety."

"Take it easy, Mr. Captain, this desert will not be more dangerous than the Magic Mountain." Yin Jian smiled and patted the old man's shoulder, "I have a hunch that our dwarf friends are in trouble, if we don't rush to the place of the accident, I'm afraid it will delay the big thing." ”

"Alright then, Your Excellency, I hope that a qiē is as you wish, and if there are any signs of abnormality, please be sure to inform the mothership." Captain Vincent reluctantly saluted him and turned to leave.

Five minutes later, a 20-meter-long "sand boat" rushed out of the flight deck, fell on the sand with a "bang", bounced twice and then regained its stability, and its butt was smoking, and it sped in the direction of the rising smoke.

The sand boat is a small vehicle specially used to carry out scientific research tasks in desert areas, which can carry 50 people, and looks like a large "hovercraft", except that it is not driven by air currents but by ion motors, and it is much faster than that of a hovercraft.

Yin Jian sat in the driver's seat and skillfully operated the sand boat to fly close to the ground. At this moment, his three personal maids were also engrossed in sitting in front of the console, General Cao was in charge of monitoring the tactical radar, General Liu was in charge of maintaining communication with the mothership, and General Ju set up a 6mm cannon and searched for suspicious targets through the guò scope.

The sand boat swept past the sand dune, and the plasma stream flung the yellow sand stream behind the tail, at this time, Yin Jian suddenly turned the rudder to the left on a whim.

rumble

A fireball exploded close to the starboard side of the sandboat, causing a violent jolt. Yin Jian hurriedly turned off the engine and looked out the window vigilantly, the long yellow sand spread out in front of him, mixed with bits and pieces of dazzling blood, except for the whistling wind outside the window, there was no sound, but there was a suffocating sense of crisis quietly coming.

"Xiaocao, what's there?" Yin Jian asked in a deep voice.

General Grass stared at the radar interface and shook his head slightly: "There is no high-energy signal within ten kilometers around, and the biological search mode has not captured suspicious signs......"

Yin Jian sighed, the radar scanning range of the sand boat's scientific expedition is limited, in this case, it is still more reliable Dao Technique, and in a flash, he released the Great Yan Divine Technique, and sure enough, a large number of red life signals appeared at a depth of ten meters in the sand layer in front of him.

"Sure enough, it's a 'ghost spider,'" Yin Jian's mouth curled slightly, clapped his hands and said, "Girls, cheer up and get ready to live."

"Oh yes" General Ju, who had too much energy, was the first to jump, completely unable to tell that he had just experienced the pain of breaking melons last night.

General Liu gave the news of the interception of the sand boat to the mothership, and immediately took off his headphones and turned his head to ask Yin Jian: "Master, 'Ghost spider, what is it, it sounds terrifying.'" ”

"'Ghost spiders, a category of alien insects, have a low psionic rank and a large number, and are usually used as cannon fodder by the master mothers." Yin Jian explained to the three girls, "The combat power of ghost spiders is not worth mentioning, but they have two very terrifying talents, one is that they can lurk in the depths of the earth, converge life signals to evade radar reconnaissance, and the other is that they contain high explosives in their bodies, and the self-explosion power is not inferior to anti-armor machine mines, in addition, ghost spiders can also sense the enemy's position through a slight vibration from the surface, and once they enter their garrison area, they will explode on their own." ”

Speaking of this, Yin Jian pointed at the huge sand pit caused by the explosion just now, "There are many variants of ghost spiders, some can release poisonous gas after explosions, and some are sprays of acid, this kind of explosion we encountered is like a big fireball, it should be a ghost spider with fire limit attributes, the most destructive one, then we have to be careful, if it is blown up, most of the sand boats will not be able to carry it." ”

Tap the green button, and the ion jet of the sand boat suddenly intensifies, lifting the hull into the air.

General Liu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and said happily: "If you fly, you don't have to be afraid of those self-detonating spiders." ”

Yin Jian shook his head, and said with a solemn face: "The sand boat is at most five meters above the ground, if it is an ordinary mine array, of course it can be safely passed, but it is a pity that those 'ghost spiders' are very cunning, not only waiting for the rabbit, but also taking the initiative to attack, at a height of five meters, they can completely use spider silk and strong jumping power to make suicidal attacks."

As if to verify his prediction, General Grass suddenly exclaimed: "The radar has scanned a large number of life signals and is surrounding the sand boats"

Yin Jian smiled indifferently: "Those little spiders really can't help it, Xiaocao, you and Xiaoliu go out to escort the sand boat, just release the Jiamu Gangfeng or the Bagua Xunfa to blow the ghost spiders away, Chrysanthemum Sister, control the machine gun, if there is a fish that slips through the net, kill it immediately." ”

The three generals agreed in unison and saluted him in unison.

The hatch opened, General Grass and General Liu flew out, standing back to back on the roof of the cabin, while visualizing the Bagua Xunfa, instantly summoning one hundred and six whirlwinds, lifting all the sand around the airship, and many red spiders with heads and feet the size of a millstone flew into the air with the sand, and were immediately hit by machine guns, exploding one after another.

Some of the ghost spiders burrowed through the whirlwind blockade from deep in the sand and emerged directly from beneath the sand boats, trying to spew out their silk and stick to the sand boats. Yin Jian started the plasma engine in time, and the sand boat spewed out a blue tail flame, which flew out in an instant. The spider silk fell into the air, and the ghost spider that jumped into the air also sprayed into the high-temperature tail flame, and exploded on the spot. By the time the smoke cleared, the sand boats had already flown out ten miles away, leaving these "living mines" far behind.

Escaping from the tracking of the "ghost spider", General Liu and General Grass returned to their posts.

During the flight, Yin Jian felt a little heavy. The sand boat flew in the direction of the black smoke rising, this path was exactly the same as the bloodstain, the blood of the zerg was blue, and this bright red blood was mostly from the Tromurians, those dwarfs were the target of the "ghost spiders", and it was not known if they would be able to hold out until the moment they arrived......

Ten minutes later, the sand boat arrived at the place where the black smoke had risen.

Through the telescope, Yin Jian saw a yellow iron-hulled ship nearly 100 meters long stranded on the sand, the hull was fusiform, and the tail was equipped with an angle-shaped digging drill, and the streamlined armor reminded him of a submarine, but the place where this "submarine" swam was not the sea, but the soft desert.

Comparing the pictures of the Tromur "Sand Submarine" provided by the Tactical Light Brain Database, Yin Jian confirmed that the stranded iron-hulled ship was the means of transportation for the old man Baartman to and from the immigration base, and if nothing else, he himself was on board at this moment.

The Sand Submarine was in terrible condition, with a large opening in one-third of its hull, billowing black smoke, and to add insult to injury, it was being besieged by a swarm of giant red scorpions.

These terrifying large reptiles are five meters long and covered in a thick chitin carapace. The Tromolan warriors guarding the sand submarines are generally about a meter tall, fair-skinned, with soft black and a pair of large feet that are easy to run in the desert, and are using a primitive rifle to stop the red scorpion from approaching, and the bullet hits the red scorpion carapace with only a tiny scar, as if burned by a cigarette butt.
