511 Black sandstorm Part 1 (2/2)

Lex observed the flying rock ants, then said worriedly, ”This is bad. Since there are so many rock ants, it must mean there was rain.”

”Let's take a detour then,” Saleen suggested. There were actually no roads in the desert, one could only change their direction of travel. Lex nodded helplessly. There might be a torrential rain up ahead, which would cause a huge number of fish beasts to hatch. A young fish beast already had a tough exterior shell, they would become a food bank for the rock ants.

If there were no accidents, ten percent of the fish beasts would survive. After the battle with the rock ants, these fish beasts would mature.

Lex felt strange. No matter how weird this environment was, the mages should still be able to hear the sound of thunder even if they could not detect that there was a downpour.

The team veered east, they turned an additional twenty degrees and carried on moving, but they heard a humming sound in the distance.

”Sandstorm!”

”Viscountess, it is too huge, we won't be able to avoid it!”

The mages then realized that danger was just a stone's throw away. In at most one or two minutes, the sandstorm would descend upon them.

Lex exited the war chariot, taking out several items from the God's Ring.

”Jola, use your strongest attack to bust a hole in the ground!” Lex had also lost her composure in the face of an oncoming sandstorm. It would be fine if the sandstorm only lasted for a short duration, but if it lasted for a long time, the magic war chariots might not be able to hold out.

This time around, Jola did not seek Saleen's opinion. He simply took the new spear from Wild Bear and leaped dozens of yards into the air. He then ducked and stabbed the ground.

With a boom, a huge crater, with a diameter of half a yard and a depth of dozens of yards, appeared in the ground. The cutting edge of the Sword Aura was not seen.

After that blow, Jola became wobbly, he then tossed the spear aside. The swordmasters ignored him, they quickly went to Lex. A steel chain, which had an anchor-like metal piece on one end, was tossed into the crater. The swordmasters then expertly assembled the items which Lex had taken out from the God's Ring.

A metal house was swiftly constructed. The four corners of this house had chains attached to them. These chains were in turn connected to the one in the ground. At the bottom of the hole, that anchor-like metal piece sprung open and countless of metal wires shot out. At the same time, dozens of openings appeared, blasting flames outwards.

The flames were melting the black sand, so that the black sand would fuse into one with the metal wires.

Wild Bear dragged the fatigued Jola into the metal house. Lex stored the magic war chariots while Saleen stored the skeletal warhorses. Then they proceeded to seek shelter in the house.

The width and length of the metal house were the same at six yards. The space in the room was even smaller while the walls were half a yard thick. Once everyone entered the house, the house seemed a little packed.

Placed in the middle of the metal room was a circular table, and atop the table was a fixed disc. The mages rotated the disc, drawing the chain underneath into the middle of the house, causing the house to sink into the ground.

Boom!

A thunderous crashing sound filled the air, as the metal house began to vibrate vigorously. Afterwards, the house gave off a noise similar to a war drum, as though there were infinite arrows pounding against it.

The faces of the mages turned pale, this sandstorm was much scarier than any of the ones they had come across. It must be noted that Lex's metal house weighed about one-hundred-thousand pounds, and the chain underneath was still cemented deep underground by magic. Be that as it may, the metal house still shook violently following the assault by the sandstorm.

If a mage wielded a Magic Shield at this point in time, they would definitely be sucked into the sandstorm, moving with the wind. In the sandstorm, the black sand particles would strike the Magic Shield, which meant that there would be thousands of hits occurring every second. It was entirely possible that these grand mages would fully deplete their magic chords in a minute.

Those swordmasters would not survive either. Other than the horrifyingly immense air pressure produced by the sandstorm, the sand particles could also penetrate their magic armor too. When a mage wanted to cut metal, many of them would use water and sand to create a waterjet to spray against the metal.

The Spirit Snake Armor might be sturdier, but the sand particles' attack frequency was too tough. It was akin to having tens of thousands people attacking a single target at the same time. Even if the attackers were very weak, the Spirit Snake Armor might not be able to put up a defense when all their powers were combined.

Even the four demons were appalled. They never expected the Myers mainland to have such a horrifying environment. No matter how strong a demon's recovery ability was, they would still be ground to death alive.

Bain finally showed himself. At this point in time, given his powers, he would also not be able to survive in the desert. There was nowhere else to hide in the metal room. Bain stood beside Lex, looking pale as a sheet. Saleen did not need to look, he could identify Bain through his aura. Saleen had fought with Bain in the past, so he was very familiar with Bain's aura. If it was any other person, they would have surely regarded Bain as a mere low grade assassin.
