"Switch defense. Earth Mage Tian Zhisha will assist, and Bai Mo, you will be the main defender." Lingling made the decision immediately.
Originally, the high-level third-grade Sky Sand was enough, and the two high-level third-grade earth mages should be the main force for everyone to cross the high-sky sandstorm this time.
But there is always a but!!
But Heavenly Sand is also sand. When the wizard first summoned it, it appeared in the form of a circle of sand and dust.
This magic can be easily blown away by the strong wind of the sandstorm at the beginning.
It was for this reason that Lingling chose Bai Mo, who had never been a defensive mage, as the main defender.
Bai Mo's earth-related effect allows the sand and dust he summons to be of any weight he wishes, and not easily blown away, but he is not yet able to summon the sand of heaven.
But for everyone, as long as it is a high-level defense, it is enough. Bai Mo has a soul seed level rock element, a high-level one-level magic variation, and an earth element field, which is enough.
"Hold on, the sand wall inside the high-altitude sandstorm is usually only more than a thousand meters thick. We are almost halfway there." After making the arrangements, Lingling did not forget to cheer people up.
"only?"
Bai Mo curled his lips. The entire volume of his level 5 wind disk was only a hundred meters, but it was enough to kill a whole nest of little demons.
A thousand-meter-high wall of wind and sand, what a powerful force that must be.
If he could create such a strong wind, the Parthenon of the Holy City, the Holy Court, would help Sahara and blow it directly! Just blow it hard and bury these things in advance.
Isn’t it beautiful! ?
Let’s get back to the topic. During the 500 meters they walked just now, Bai Mo had already mastered the defense by cooperating with the four mages.
"Back off!"
A circle of silver light spread out from Bai Mo until it enveloped everyone.
At the same time, the outermost area of light also shattered.
The sandstorm blows in one direction, but inside the sandstorm, the wind is chaotic, so when the strong winds from all directions carry heavy and thick sand and hit the retreating defense shield.
Bai Mo only felt that his head was being hit by the huge hammer, again and again, trying to break the defense supported by his will.
However, the ability of the retreat to repel attacking objects is completely useless at this time, and will only cause the space defense itself to vibrate continuously.
When everyone saw Bai Mo open up the space magic defense, they all paused in their tracks. When they saw Bai Mo moving forward, they followed him.
Stereotypes are difficult to change, and the impression given by domestic space mages is that they are weak.
Defense? The Space Department has no defense at all!
This also led to everyone secretly muttering in their hearts when they saw Bai Mo using space defense.
However, Bai Mo had no intention of caring about these things. He was using 100% of his willpower to maintain the protective barrier and fight against the wind and sand outside.
“Huff, huff, huff~~~!”
The fierce sandstorm roared, and he felt like a giant slapping him again and again. The sound of the wind was dull and huge, it was the giant's long breath and its angry roar.
Angry at this tiny human in front of him, who actually tried to block its power and refused to submit to it.
"Oh~, that's it."
With a sneer, Bai Mo adapted to the attack rhythm of the sandstorm. He was not moved at all. It was just some pain. He had experienced more painful things in Mogao Grottoes.
Even not long ago, he had cut off his own soul, so the mental shock transmitted by the sandstorm's striking magic was nothing.
However, maintaining the space magic defense is also a huge drain on mental strength. When the time was close to one minute, Bai Mo immediately sent a signal.
"rock!"
In an instant, the dark golden field expanded, and the two earth mages immediately followed. The earth constellations lit up, and layers of sand and dust quickly appeared under the amplification of the rich earth element in the earth field.
With Bai Mo's space barrier blocking the way, the wind in the sky could not blow away their dust.
"Thousand-layer armor!"
"Thousand-layer armor!!"
Two dull growls were heard as the two earth mages worked in perfect harmony, taking charge of the team's defense and already developing a high-level two-person combination skill.
Then, pieces of sand and gravel fell down and stuck to everyone, forming a set of yellow armor piece by piece.
The armor was a typical heavy armor that covered all parts of the body, even the eyes were covered with a thick layer of stone armor.
A group of stone men held hands, letting the strong wind and thick sand blow on their bodies, making tinkling sounds, and walked forward.
Bai Mo led the way, and to his surprise, although the armor looked thick, it did not feel heavy when worn on him.
Obviously, under the adjustment and control of the two earth mages, this set of armor has long gotten rid of the shortcomings of ordinary armor.
A sandstorm swept through, but a team of stone-armored men advanced at a steady speed.
Ding ding dong dong!!
The sound of sand and dust hitting the armor was endless, but Bai Mo had to listen.
The armor blinded their eyes. Even though they had the direction, they had no control over the extent of the damage to their defenses.
Therefore, Bai Mo needs to pay attention to the armor at all times and listen to the damage status of the armor.
Only he can do this.
“Crack!!”
A loud shattering sound came into his ears, and in the waves of detection covering his entire body, he felt the position of the heart guard on his chest shattered directly.
"Space barrier!"
A silver light flashed, and Bai Mo immediately set up defenses, expanding the space barrier to surround everyone.
After hearing his clear magic command, Wu Xuan and others immediately realized that the rock armor could no longer hold, so the two earth mages immediately removed their armor.
"Should be out soon."
Lingling looked at the tiny light hidden in the sandstorm ahead and made an immediate judgment.
"How about I use teleportation to take you out?"
The scene in front of him was no longer dark, but it was still gloomy. A little light came through, as if it was an illusion, but Bai Mo knew it was not.
"No, the sandstorm's attacks are too intense. It's easy for you to teleport us away, but when you appear again, the swirling sandstorm will instantly turn us into a sieve. You know the power of the sand and dust." Lingling rejected it.
"I have reached the third level of advanced space system, and can perform two stages of displacement."
"No, we still have to get out of the space. This is a bit risky."
Lingling still shook her head. If it was just her, Bai Mo, Ding Yumian and her sister, she would have taken the initiative to let Bai Mo do this from the beginning.
But now she is the commander of the entire team, and the people of the Xuandu Hunter Group trust her very much, so she cannot let this trust down.
Lingling doesn't want to take any risk.
"I think Brother Bai's proposal is feasible. The Xuandu Hunter Group is a group of hunters. How can we avoid taking risks?"
At this time, Wen Du who was behind said, "It's already daybreak, we shouldn't be far from the outside, maybe Brother Bai can get there in an instant."
"I think Lao Wen is right."
Wu Xuan also smiled. He was very satisfied and surprised that Lingling, the little girl, was cautious as a team leader, and he also understood where this caution came from.
After Wen Du made his statement, he also expressed his own opinion that being blindly cautious would not last long. When necessary, as hunters, they never lack the spirit of fighting hard.
Having a heart as fierce as a tiger and a keen nose for roses are the qualities that allow them to stand at the top of the Kyushu Hunter Group.
"good!"
Since both of them agreed, Lingling would naturally not refuse. However, she did not give the order immediately, but said:
"Master Earth Mage, prepare the Thousand Layers of Armor. After everyone puts on their defenses, Bai Mo will use Instant Move."
A khaki light flashed, and as soon as Lingling finished speaking, the two earth mages put on armor for everyone again.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Mo opened the door of space and put everyone in the team in.
When the Space System reaches the third level, one can master the technique of continuous displacement, which is mainly related to the stability of the stars. The casting of high-level magic will disturb the stars, so there is a gap between magic releases to adjust the breath.
In an instant, they were eight hundred meters away, and when they reappeared, the sky in front of them had turned yellow and white. The sandstorm from the outside hit their armor, and before they could react, the light of space that lit up had moved them again, to a clear sky.
After their feet touched the ground and they no longer felt the wind and sand, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back, the high sky desert was already on the eastern horizon.
"Huh! Finally it's out."
After a long breath, Bai Mo looked around. The sky was exceptionally clear after the fierce sandstorm, and the outline of the Tianshan Mountains in the far north could be seen at a glance.
"We can't stop yet, let's get out of here!"
Lingling's urgent voice sounded, and although Bai Mo didn't understand, he walked forward first. With him leading the way, everyone else followed.
"I feel like there's a lot of stuff under our feet!"
At this moment, Ding Yumian also spoke.
"Yes! Use magic to run quickly. Before a sandstorm comes, some creatures in the desert will go into the sand. They are not like humans who have difficulty moving underground. Once the sandstorm is over, they will climb out again!"
Lingling spoke very quickly, keeping her eyes on her feet at all times.
Hearing this, everyone's faces became nervous. They suddenly felt that what they were stepping on was not sand, but an oil pan. Their feet kept jumping and they ran very fast.
But this desert had long been thoroughly understood by the demons that lived here, and the few people were like prey in the eyes of wild beasts. It was too late to run away.
Rustle, rustle!!!
A faint crackling sound was heard, and black and red centipedes, two or three meters long, emerged from all directions and swam towards the crowd.
“I’ll go!”
Bai Mo's feet slipped, and he used the ground waves to step on the poisonous rock centipede that was about to crawl out from under his feet.
"Watch your step!!"
Almost at the moment of his reminder, exclamations were heard from the mouths of the people running.
"ah!!!"
A shrill scream came from the mouth of a hunter mage, but the hunter mage failed to dodge in time and had his calf cut off by the sharp mouthparts of the rock poison centipede.
"Damn it!"
The wizard cursed loudly, his eyes wide open, looking at the poisonous centipede that had eaten his calf. Lightning flashed in his hand instantly and fell fiercely on the poisonous centipede.
However, the shell of this rock poison centipede is made of thick rock, and the thunder of the thunder hunter is of no use at all.
"I'll do it!"
"Don't hurt the insect heart. The heart of the rock poison centipede can detoxify." Lingling saw that everyone was about to use the fire system and reminded immediately.
"Don't worry, don't be sad!"
Wen Du grinned grimly, his palm was golden red, and he raised his hand directly to grab the head of the poisonous rock centipede and burned it with the scorching heat in his hand.
The hunters around were fighting against the poisonous rock centipedes coming from all directions, and Wen Du immediately took out the insect heart and fed it to the Thunder Mage, whose half body had turned into sand.
After realizing that the poison was gone, Bai Mo immediately reached out and pulled, and the starlight spread, opening a space portal.
Enshrouded in diamond-colored light, the group immediately disappeared from where they were and appeared more than a mile ahead.
As soon as Pu landed on the ground, all the earth mages in the team launched ground waves, solidifying the sand under everyone's feet.
"How is it, are there any monsters down there?"
Turning around, Bai Mo asked Ding Yumian.
"No."
"Okay, I'll take a look at what's going on around me."
With a slight nod, Bai Mo hooked his fingers, and the sound strings detected out, clearly detecting any movement within a radius of seven or eight kilometers.
After discovering that there was really no danger, everyone moved forward immediately.
It is said that outdoor teams like to have sound and mind mages as teammates. There are really a lot of troubles that can be detected and avoided in advance by these two types of mages.
Or make preparations in advance to reduce casualties.
Under the guidance of Bai Mo and Ding Yumian, the group advanced all the way and did not encounter any unavoidable difficulties like the tribal war.
There are really a lot of old coins in the desert. Some creatures can not only control their own movements, but also their mental emotions.
If they didn't take action, they wouldn't be able to find out at all. Therefore, even with the detection of Bai Mo and the others, they still experienced a lot of battles.
As we moved forward, some plants such as cacti gradually appeared on the originally empty sand.
To be honest, because the demons in the desert are extremely good at hiding, they were still a little wary when they saw these cactus-like plants.
"Is that really a cactus? Could it be some demon transformed into a cactus?"
Wen Du looked at a green plant a hundred meters away, feeling a bit suspicious.
"It shouldn't be. It looks like a normal cactus." Lingling took a look and was a little scared. She continued:
"As long as we don't get too close, there shouldn't be any problem."
"Lingling, have you seen the old general on the stage?" Bai Mo asked.
"You're the one with all the flags on you. I'm just telling you the truth." Lingling rolled her eyes. "We have to go there anyway. Just don't get close. Just be careful."
After saying that, she glanced at Ding Yumian.
"There are slight mental fluctuations, just like ordinary plants."
Ding Yumian thought for a moment and continued, "If we really think it is a demon, we can strike first."
"That's not necessary." Lingling shook her head.
No one had this idea. They had just experienced many sudden attacks from monsters in the desert and were subconsciously cautious, but they were not yet to the point of being paranoid about everything.
After entering this desert where cacti grow, everyone did not encounter any sudden attacks, so they felt much more relieved.
The calm environment made us move forward faster. (End of this chapter)
