Chapter 727 Sand Golem
"Oh? Xiaoyun, tell me quickly!" Jiang Feng urged.
"The ancient ruins discovered by the old witch Theodora in the desert were originally a wealthy elegans city."
"I don't know when or for what reason, the local natural environment has undergone drastic changes. Wind and sand have continued to devour fertile fields and fertile fields. Desertification has become more and more serious, and it is no longer possible to provide sufficient drinking water and food for urban residents."
"Many residents abandoned the city and settled further away from the desert."
"But there are still a few residents who are not willing to leave their homes and try to use various means to resist the sandstorm."
"These means include planting a large number of plants to prevent wind and sand, and artificial precipitation to make the dry sandy land moist and fertile again."
"The tall tower we are in now is the academic center of the city. All research work on desert control is carried out here."
"Judging from the results, the elegans' sand control project... unfortunately ended in failure, and in the end they had to abandon this ancient city."
"In a world with magic, is it not that difficult to control sandstorms?" Jiang Feng asked doubtfully, "Even in the real world without magic, current technological means alone can turn large areas of barren desert into fertile farmland. ?”
"Sister Feng! You have to know that the city-states of the elegans are too small compared to our country, with a total population of only a few thousand, and they simply cannot organize enough manpower to fight against the sand invasion."
"The magic of the eladrin is indeed very powerful, but the desert that is constantly eroding their homeland also contains supernatural powers that destroy life. There are countless evil monsters in the desert that are madly besieging the city of the eladrin. In this case It’s not easy to sustain it for hundreds of years.”
"Well, that's a sad story."
Jiang Feng sighed, left the empty bookshelf, controlled the magic light ball, and walked towards the other side of the hall.
"Huh? What is that..." She stopped suddenly, looking surprised.
"What's wrong?" Gao Fei turned around and looked over.
In the corner of the hall, there is a desk.
Under the light of the light ball, you can see several scrolls and a thick book with a golden cover on the table.
All these books emit strong magical waves!
What surprised Gao Fei even more was that next to the desk, standing against the wall, was a figure about 12 feet tall. The whole body was made of fine yellow sand. On the rough face, two decorative eyeballs carved from obsidian shimmered slightly. Light.
Behind this yellow sand giant, there is a closed iron door that leads to nowhere.
It seems that the yellow sand giant's mission is to guard the books on the desk and the iron door behind it.
Full of curiosity, Gao Fei opened the astrolabe to investigate the strange yellow sand giant.
"Sand Golem... Oh, challenge level 10! Is it so powerful?!"
Gao Fei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The challenge level of the Sand Golem is much higher than the average level of our adventure trio. Do you want to fight with this guy?
Gao Fei is a level 8 magic thief, Jiang Feng is a level 8 Templar, and there is also a level 7 weapon master Xiao Ma. From a common sense, the game designer is unlikely to ask the three of them to challenge the level here. Level 10 Sand Golem.
Of course, if he had to fight, Gao Fei felt that he still had a chance of winning, but he just had to take more risks.
With the idea of leapfrogging to challenge a powerful enemy, Gao Fei was about to continue checking the reconnaissance information provided by the astrolabe, when the sand demon opposite seemed to suddenly wake up, slowly turned around, and looked this way.
The obsidian-carved eyeballs projected two cone-shaped beams of light, which shone on Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Ma Yun, as if they were scanning.
Gao Fei suddenly felt a numbness in his scalp, and quickly retreated, putting some distance between himself and the sand golem, and getting ready for battle.
At the same time, all three people received system prompts.
Main mission update: Escape from the archives as soon as possible and avoid the pursuit of the sand golem!
"MMP! I knew it would be like this!"
Gao Fei cursed secretly, and immediately used "Mage's Hand" to remotely open the door behind the sand golem.
There are two doors in the hall.
One of the doors has been opened, leading to the way Gao Fei and others came.
This retreat, the only exit is the window of the tower.
However, as long as they exit the window, the system will judge that everyone has given up on the adventure and will regard the mission as failed.
Since this road is blocked, the only way to escape is the door behind the sand golem.
If the sand golem had been blocking the door, Gao Fei and the others would have no choice but to attack the sand golem head-on.
Fortunately, the sand golem didn't seem very smart. After noticing the intruders, he immediately strode over and tried to arrest them, unintentionally exposing the door behind him.
While Gao Fei was busy remotely unlocking the lock, Jiang Feng also activated the "Spider Silk Ring" and threw a large piece of spider web at the approaching sand golem.
The sand demon statue was covered by the "Spider Web Technique" and stopped for a moment. Its strong body suddenly collapsed and turned into countless tiny grains of sand.
"Ah? What's going on..."
Jiang Feng was taken aback and quickly opened the astrolabe to check the details of the sand golem.
However, except for the challenge level, no other details can be displayed.
System prompt: Interfered by the confidentiality barrier in the archives, any detective spells and abilities are suppressed!
"No... the entire city has been abandoned, and all the confidential documents in the archives have been taken away by the eladrin. What else is worth keeping secret? They are clearly trying to embarrass the players!"
Jiang Feng was angry and funny.
At this moment, the pile of yellow sand on the ground started to squirm, as if it were a living thing!
The tiny grains of sand pass through the holes in the spider web and squirm on the ground.
When they were far away from the area covered by the spider webs, the yellow sand gathered again, rising slowly from bottom to top.
It first condenses into a thick pillar of sand, then differentiates into limbs, trunk and head, and the outline of the face gradually becomes clearer.
It seems that a pair of invisible and skillful hands is shaping this pile of yellow sand into a human shape.
In the blink of an eye, the "activated quicksand" transformed back into the form of a sand golem. In this magical way, it easily escaped from the spider web trap set by Jiang Feng.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Ma Yun quickly used the "Secondary Activation Technique" to temporarily inject life into a bookshelf and placed it in front of the sand golem to prevent it from approaching Jiang Feng.
The sand golem glanced coldly at the activated bookshelf, then calmly raised its thick right arm and slapped the bookshelf to pieces!
"Wow! It's so violent!" Xiao Ma exclaimed, "The strength attribute of this sand demon is no less than 24 points by visual inspection!"
There was a metallic sound behind the sand golem.
Immediately afterwards, the closed iron door slowly opened back.
