On the outskirts of the storm border, the Aksen caravan trudged along with difficulty.
The camel's extraordinary endurance began to show signs of being unsustainable here.
The Aknisens have taken out small transparent devices and input magic power into them, allowing a thin film of light to cover themselves and the camel skin.
Here, with the stone and sand on the ground, it is difficult to find a solid foothold under your feet, and every step feels like you are stepping on sand.
Suddenly, a storm that shouldn't have appeared in this area swept in from afar and arrived in an instant, putting the caravan in trouble in an instant.
“Woo~~Woo~~~Woo…”
There was a burning white blur in the fierce wind, and the force of space seemed very chaotic here.
“Boom…” “Moo~~~”
A seemingly solid rock under the feet of a camel was crushed at once, and the camel lost its balance as it stepped on empty air.
"Moo~~"
The huge and heavy camel was actually blown to the ground and rolled.
"Help!!!" "Help us!!!"
Axen above was yelling wildly, hoping that his companions could help him.
This is not simply being blown down by the wind. At the edge of the storm, the violent winds caused by the force of space have no fixed direction and it is very likely to be swept to deeper depths.
It’s still considered good that he can’t come back. On the more exaggerated side, it’s not impossible that he will be crushed by the force of space.
On the camel beasts nearby, more than ten Axnisen's magic power fluctuations surged at the same time.
“Pah~” “Pah~” “Pah~”…
More than a dozen animal whips flew out at the same time, some missed, while others directly entangled several Aksens who were rolling. Two of the whips entangled the camels, almost pulling the whip owners who were sitting on other camels away.
"Moo~~"
"Stand up quickly!!! Flower forehead!! Stand up quickly!!!"
On the fallen camel's neck, an Aksen was slapping the camel's colorful head.
"Hu Lun!!! Grab the whip quickly, we can't hold on any longer!!!"
"You can't save Hua Forehead!!! We don't have that much power!!!"
"Moo~~~"
The camel roared wildly and tried to stand up.
“Woo~~~Boom~~”
An ore full of some kind of metal rolled over from a distance and hit the camel's head heavily, causing a special storm to stir around it.
All of a sudden, the animal whips tied around loosened, and several Aksens were dragged out, only to be caught by their quick-eyed and quick-handed companions behind them.
The Aksens on the backs of the fallen camels were pulled back to the camels they were riding by their companions using whips.
The camel on the ground had lost the help of the whip to stabilize it, and the heavy blow had already knocked it unconscious, so it rolled over and was blown away without any resistance.
"NO!!!! Help me!!! NO!!!!"
"Hu Lun!!!!" "Catch Hu Lun!!"
At this moment, several whips were flying towards the retreating camel, but the closest one was several meters away. If Hu Lun dared to jump out from the camel to grab the whip at this juncture, he would probably be blown out of sight within half a meter.
All the other Aksens on the back of the flower-forehead camel were rescued by their companions while holding their whips. Only Hu Lun and the flower-forehead camel were blown farther and farther away in the storm, and were swept away to the depths of the storm's boundary.
This sudden large storm lasted for more than half an hour. When it finally subsided, all the Aksens in the caravan were covered in dust.
They lost a camel and a companion.
This situation is like ordinary humans being washed away by a torrent of flood. The probability of Hu Lun and the flower-forehead camel surviving is very slim.
…
In the storm, Hu Lun could only hold on to the camel's neck tightly. They were already deep in the storm's boundary. With his magical vision, all he could see was white.
The magic power in their bodies is almost exhausted. By then, not to mention the dangerous unstable cracks, the storm mixed with the force of space alone will be able to tear them apart.
“Woo~~~Shua~~~Hu~~~”
The storm suddenly had a strange suction force, like a boat on the water encountering a whirlpool.
"Space crack!"
This thought flashed through Hu Lun's mind. This phenomenon was what the caravan was looking for. The appearance of the crack was like a broken sink, and there would be this feeling of suction.
Hu Lun and the flower-forehead camel were involuntarily swept towards that direction by the storm, but even if he could be independent, Hu Lun would not give up this chance to survive.
However, this feeling of inhalation was not continuous, but intermittent, sometimes long and sometimes short, which gave Hu Lun a bad idea.
But it didn't have time to think about it. The tearing sensation became stronger and stronger, and he and Hua E'e soon reached the position where the spatial force was the strongest.
A feeling of palpitations suddenly came over Hu Lun. Without even thinking about it, the palpitations immediately moved from his forehead and neck to his back.
"Tear~~" "Moo..."
At this moment, Hu Lun felt a chill under his feet, then his head became dizzy and he instantly lost consciousness.
…
The cool water splashed on Hu Lun's face. His head felt heavy and he wanted to open his eyes but he couldn't muster even the slightest bit of strength.
The touch of the body made it feel that Hua Forehead should be there too, which made Hu Lun feel a little relieved, and then he fainted again.
Hu Lun, whose magic power was exhausted and spirit was drained, didn't know that eight tall figures were carefully surrounding him in the distance.
These figures are intelligent humanoid creatures, as can be seen from the clothes they wear and the metal weapons they are equipped with.
Concealment and weapons are things that are likely to appear when a group-living intelligent race emerges and develops to a certain stage of civilization.
Cover the body with clothes, or make something to supplement the lack of defense of vital parts of the body, and make weapons to deal with natural enemies and dangers.
Then the original leaders of the gathering for survival gradually gained more and more power, classes began to emerge, and as productivity gradually increased, people became increasingly dissatisfied with the status quo in their understanding of interests and enjoyment.
The transformation of social systems and the direction of civilization development...
It can be said that the development of intelligent civilizations from barbarism to the establishment of institutions is mostly inseparable from such a process.
Of course, if a race has outstanding talents, then the direction of civilization development will also change, and it will move in the direction of leveraging its own advantages, such as the demon race of Saladin the Weaver and the gray spirits of the Magic Rune.
These eight intelligent creatures are relatively strong, with well-proportioned bodies. Their average height is about 1.7 meters, and their skin color is close to whitish copper. Some fine natural lines can be seen on their skin, which may be related to their ancestors.
Its appearance shows the common facial features of ordinary creatures, with a significantly collapsed nose, relatively large earlobes and the entire ear forming a rounded triangle shape.
Although they are obviously different from humans, they cannot be considered ugly overall. Unless these eight cautious guys are the best looking in their group, the rest of the lesbians are probably very ugly at best.
If we talk about the biggest difference between them and humans, ignoring the combined influence of other details, the most obvious thing is that there is a spine-like ridge on the top of the skull, which makes one of the bald humanoid creatures look particularly weird.
But those with hair are much better, and their hair is thicker than that of humans, and several levels thicker and denser than that of Aksen, which has a natural shaping effect.
If we follow the naming habits of human scientists, without more information, we will definitely name it Ridgetops Man.
At this moment, the eight people from the Ridgetop tiptoed towards Aksen step by step. Even though the other party looked like a tiny guy, they did not dare to relax at all.
Several had already drawn their weapons, a type of metal weapon in the shape of a sword with a handle and a wooden stick with a metal headed spear.
"What the hell was that? Did it kill this giant monster?"
A young female voice sounded, she was protected in the middle by the team.
"I don't know, but this thing is wearing strange clothes. Could it be some alien race that we haven't discovered yet?"
An elder answered in a low voice, as if afraid of waking Hu Lun by the river.
"But it's impossible for it to kill this huge unknown beast. The wound on the monster is too smooth, and there are no weapons nearby..."
He looked at the camel beast. This huge monster had been dismembered. Only its huge body could be seen. The storage box on its back had disappeared, as had its neck and head. The blood that had flowed out had dyed half of the water in the forest river red.
It was when they were camping that they saw the blood in the river and followed the river to find this place.
"Let's control it first. Who knows, it might be some unknown barbarian. If we present it to the city lord, we should be able to get some rewards!"
Several people on the ridgetop communicated with each other and began to find the ropes they carried.
"Well, take the beast's body with you, it might be worth a lot of money."
“That makes sense!”
Several people tied up Aksen and planned to move the camel's body together.
"Ready, get up!" "Hoo~" "Get up!"
Grabbing the corner of the camel's body, several people on the ridge tried to lift it up, but found that the body did not move at all.
"Try again! Get up!"
Everyone worked together again, their faces turning red.
This time the camel's body finally moved, but after just a little movement, the few people couldn't bear the weight and gave up.
Obviously, the body density of the camel is very high, and its weight is far more than just its surface volume.
"Chop it up and take some meat back!"
“Good idea!”
"Yes, it would be stupid to bring the whole thing back with you!"
The older man drew his knife and slashed hard at the base of the camel's front legs.
"Bang~"
His fingertips ached and his arms felt numb, as if he had chopped on dozens of layers of thick leather armor. A white mark appeared on the camel's skin, but other than that, the knife had no effect.
“No way…”
