Sword and Magic and Taxi

　　 sand, endless sand. They are climbing up all the time, trying to swallow everything. From the gaps in the clothes, from the openings of the boots, from the mouth, nose, and ears. Before Zhao Mai and his party climbed up the sand dunes, they smelled of sand all over.

　　The reserve grain is basically unable to walk in this environment. Its foot pads step on the sand without protection, and sooner or later it will emit the smell of barbecue. Zhao Mai stuffed it into his backpack and stayed with the flower pot. The hot environment here is too harsh for the two little creatures.

　　 This will increase the load, but Zhao Mai has decided to live and die with everyone. His only current plan is to find a shelter for three months, and at the same time find a way to dig out the car. The environment here is neither suitable for survival nor for cultivation, and he does not want to stay.

　　 Climbing up the sand dunes is a very difficult thing. The soft sand always takes Zhao Mai to sit on the slide, constantly trying to wrap his legs and flow down. He stepped down heavily, most of his strength was used to make the sand pit, but the ascent distance was very short, sometimes even one step further, but two steps back. Obviously only a vertical height of more than forty meters, it took him more than half an hour to go up.

　　 Looking around, it's hard not to feel desperate. The endless yellow sand, layered black shadows, countless sand dunes are everything on the ground. The huge sun on the pale sky emits a never-ending red flame, the air is ignited, and it expands and makes a strange sound, seemingly repeating the word "death, death, death". There are no trees, no grass, no objects that can move except sand and wind. The force of nature here is simply oxygen in a vacuum, water droplets in the flame, Zhao Mai can't release a spell.

　　 Their only hope is a mountain range in the distance. Maybe it will be harsher there. No one can be sure, but there will definitely be different, and change means life. Since there is no reference object, the distance is difficult to estimate. The only certainty is that it will never be reached today. Zhao Mai leaned on his knees, gasping hard with his mouth closed. He wanted to recover his strength, but also to take this opportunity to cheer for himself. "Giving up is death." He knew this very well.

　　According to the height and direction of the sun, let's assume that the mountains are a bit northerly in the west. In an unfamiliar world, the direction, time, and season cannot be confirmed, and the experience of other worlds cannot be used to deal with this world. But if he can communicate with the Force of Nature, then Zhao Mai has a way to figure out most of the situation. This is also the purpose of his going to the mountains to take a look.

　　 "It's over there, let's go." Zhao Mai pointed his finger, Bucher nodded, and said nothing. Both people covered their mouth and nose with cloth strips, and used headscarves to shade their eyes. If possible, they use only one eye at a time, open and close them and take turns rest, trying to reduce the volatilization of water.

　　 The sand dunes that climbed up in an hour rushed down in ten seconds. This is their rare and only happiness. After that, I shake the sand hanging on my body. The road is still far away and I need to walk slowly.

　　 Zhao Mai looked at the phone while walking. The phone has a function to open the map. The maps of the places you have been are bright, the ones you have seen but have not been are gray, and the ones you don’t know are black. Relying on the shiny walking trajectory, Zhao Mai can determine the relative position of himself and the starting point, correct the direction of advancement, and avoid deviating too much when walking around the sand dunes. They can't keep climbing over the sand dunes, as that would consume too much energy. The best way is to walk along the top of the dune, avoiding up and down movement as much as possible.

　　 A nail-sized spider drilled out of the sand, desperately chasing Zhao Mai, trying to hide in his shadow. It seems that even local creatures can't stand the hot temperature and ruthless sunlight. This is the first creature Zhao Mai has encountered, so naturally he will not let it go. He wanted to come over from Butcher with two crossbow arrows as chopsticks, and picked up the little reptile from the ground.

　　 It has eight spider legs, a swollen belly, and a pair of scary teeth. This little thing is very aggressive, constantly trying to bite the dagger that Zhao Mai stretched over.

　　 "Its bite is poisonous, do you see the droplets on the dagger, it is leaking from its mouth." Zhao Mai turned the little thing back and forth, looking carefully. Although the spider was fierce to him, Zhao Mai was quite happy. At least he saw the creature, indicating that this is not a barren dead place.

　　 You can feel the unique natural force here from the small things. If you savor it carefully, there is a very primitive and element-oriented feeling, which is completely different from Glarion. There are many natural creatures in Glarion, so the natural force is more of circulation and system. This spider is accustomed to living in isolation, the force of nature is extremely conservative, but it has a faint breath of water.

　　 At this moment, an even larger breath of the same kind quickly approached, and Butcher also issued an alarm to make Zhao Mai be careful. The dunes seemed to be alive suddenly. The yellow sand bulged up and then flowed along the steep slope. In the space below, a larger spider was sneaking over.

　　 Maybe this kind of raid works for other creatures, but it doesn't make sense for Zhao Mai and Butcher. The food reserve also screamed, rushing out of the backpack, ready to fight.

　　 The sand suddenly stopped shaking ~www.NovelMTL.com~ and then exploded suddenly. A crocodile-sized spider opened its mouth, and a pair of scimitar-shaped teeth cut across. Zhao Mai slammed down with the spear blade of the giant tooth beast, pierced the monster's mouth all at once, and slammed it to the ground. Butcher rushed forward, about to cut its head.

　　 "Wait a minute, I have an idea, don't kill it!" Zhao Mai shouted, "I sensed the force of nature!"

　　 The force of nature exists in all living things, and this spider is no exception. Unlike Glarion, the creatures here have preserved more force, which seems to be in response to the extreme natural environment here. Only when we are rich can we exchange more. Those who are poor in the Force will naturally continue to collect and store while reducing consumption.

　　 Zhao Mai first tried to communicate with this giant spider wildly, hoping to domesticate it. It is obviously more adaptable to the desert environment than people like itself. If it can be used as a mount, it will definitely save a lot of energy. Even if it cannot be domesticated, it will be a life-saving move to be able to communicate and take everyone to find the water and oasis in the desert.

　　 The spider was struggling, Zhao Mai continued to comfort him, but little effect. No matter how Zhao Mai explains, there is only one instinct in the spider's mind, and that is predation. It struggled harder and harder, but Butcher was about to be overwhelmed. "Whatever you are going to do, hurry up!"

　　 There is no choice but to kill it. Butcher swung his sword and cut off the spider's head, while the rest of it trembled. Zhao Mai put his hand on the spider, and then using the method taught by Wadsworth, he began to mobilize the force of nature and cast water. The spider kept trembling, and its body quickly deflated, and its moisture was drawn out by Zhao Mai~www.NovelMTL.com~Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at~www.NovelMTL. com~ mobile phone users please go to read.
