Chapter 37: ?Fighting at night
After Wang Sheng heard this, he instantly looked north.
There was a fire there, and there were originally two soldiers who were vigil.
However, there is only one person sitting there now.
He just saw the other man go to the water.
Now, after hearing what Chen Cang said, he realized that the other party had been gone for a while.
From the experience of one of his old pawns, the situation seems wrong.
Then, he stood up and shouted, "The situation is not right."
Chen Cang also stood up instantly, clenched the sword in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.
Looking from a distance, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Listen to it again, there is no sound of the little insects, it is terribly quiet.
There were originally eight soldiers in the vigil, but now there are only seven.
The soldier who went to release the water just now did not come back.
As Wang Sheng's words fell, the other soldiers in the night vigil also instantly became vigilant.
Wang Sheng held a torch in one hand and a long knife in the other, and said, "Come on, come with me and have a look."
After Chen Cang and the other two soldiers heard it, they followed Wang Sheng.
Originally the weather was cold, but at this moment Chen Cang felt that it was not cold at all.
With a high spirit, he followed Wang Sheng closely, daring not to be careless.
Ten meters away, they didn't see the soldier who released the water, but they saw that the sand there had just moved.
They walked a little further, but saw some blood.
"No, something really happened, go back!" Wang Sheng immediately stepped back when he saw the bloodstains.
The light of the torches is weak and cannot illuminate the night at all.
They took three steps and two steps, ran back to the camp, and immediately woke everyone up.
Hearing that someone had an accident, how could they still be sleepy.
Everyone was holding weapons, the knife edge was outward, and they looked around vigilantly.
Now, everyone can be sure that the soldier who went to release the water was killed.
The soldier who disappeared just now has the cultivation of the early body quenching realm. To be able to kill him silently, the shot must be amazing.
The most important thing is that even the war horse was not disturbed just now.
Wang Sheng looked at Li Liang and said, "It can't be Steppenwolf, otherwise we will also be attacked. It can make a person die silently, not even a war horse is disturbed, only things that live in the sand."
Li Liang held the sword and said, "It must be a dune beast."
Speaking of Dune beasts, the faces of the soldiers couldn't help but change.
They know that a dune beast has a huge appetite, and one meal is not enough for one person.
It can eat three or four people in one meal.
In other words, if it eats one person, it will definitely not let it go, and it will come back again.
Before Li Liang said he was ready to fight, he saw that the war horse was frightened and neighed.
Then, I saw that the sand to the north moved.
Just like a soil Xing Sun in action, there is clearly something in the sand, and it is moving very fast.
Then, tentacles with thick arms suddenly flew out of the sand and swept towards the crowd.
Even under Chen Cang's feet, an octopus-like tentacle suddenly emerged and rolled towards him.
"Attack!" Li Liang shouted loudly and slashed with a knife.
Although Chen Cang was surprised when the other party ran to his feet, he reacted very quickly.
He slashed down and cut off the tentacle, alleviating the crisis in time.
After the tentacle was broken, the remaining part instantly retracted into the sand and disappeared without a trace.
However, things are not over.
Just as Chen Cang cut off the tentacle that emerged from under his feet, another tentacle emerged from behind him.
Those tentacles were strong, resilient, and terrifying.
Once entangled with it, it will be dragged into the sand and buried alive.
The most terrifying thing is that the tip of each tentacle is an extremely sharp thorn.
Those hard thorns can easily penetrate a person's chest.
Chen Cang had never seen the Dune Beast, but he knew that the Dune Beast was a tentacle monster with hundreds of terrifying tentacles on its body.
Dune beasts use those tentacles to hunt down their prey and then fill their stomachs.
At this moment, the tentacles emerging from the sand, one after another, could not be counted.
Chen Cang performed the wolf-running step, quickly dodging the attack of the tentacle behind him, and then turned around and slashed out.
Click!
He slashed down and cut off the tentacle.
At this time, he heard Li Liang shouting "Protect the war horse".
At this moment, the warhorse was also attacked. Some were even wrapped around tentacles and fell to the ground.
The warhorse bears a huge entanglement force, neighing and struggling.
After Chen Cang heard it, he came to the warhorse at almost the same time as Li Liang, and slashed each tentacle with a knife.
The most terrifying method of the dune beast is that its tentacles can walk freely in the sand, making it unexpected and extremely fast.
Chen Cang slashed out with one knife after another, cut off five or six tentacles, and rescued the two war horses.
"what!"
At this moment, a shrill cry was heard not far away.
A soldier was attacked and a tentacle pierced his body directly.
Another tentacle emerged from the soil, wrapped around his body, and dragged him directly into the sand.
Hearing his screams, everyone felt a chill.
Chen Cang knew that that person would not survive.
The sand under his feet moved, and suddenly two more tentacles came out and rolled directly towards him.
"roll!"
Chen Cang swung the knife and slashed, severing one tentacle with one knife, then flashing outward, then slashing the knife and severing the other tentacle Just as he cut off two tentacles, he saw a The war horse was entangled in several tentacles and had been dragged out for a few meters.
"Chen Cang, save the war horse!" Li Liang shouted.
Because only Chen Cang was the closest to the war horse.
"Yes."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Cang had already stepped out.
He slashed out, almost rubbing the warhorse's neck, and cut off the tentacle wrapped around the warhorse's neck.
Then, he quickly swung the knife, chopped off the other two tentacles, and rescued the war horse.
However, not far away, behind Li Liang, a warhorse was pierced through its neck by two tentacles and fell to the ground, apparently unable to survive.
Seeing this scene, Li Liang was furious.
Training a warhorse is no less difficult than training a soldier. Seeing a warhorse die like this, his heart is bleeding.
He shouted angrily, "Kill this son of a **** for me!"
Dune Beast has too many tentacles, some are cut off, and some will pop up, making it hard to guard against.
Li Liang ordered Chen Cang to protect the war horse and not allow any loss.
Chen Cang cut off some terrifying tentacles, but his expression was very solemn.
The situation is too passive, and it is necessary to find the body of the Dune beast in order to solve it completely.
Otherwise, if things go on like this, the losses will only get worse.
It's a pity that a steady stream of tentacles emerged from the sand, everywhere, and it was night again, so I didn't know where the Dune Beast's body was.
Suddenly, Chen Cang saw three tentacles dragging the dead warhorse away.
Because of the huge size of the warhorse, it was not able to completely submerge into the sand, so it left traces.
At that moment, Chen Cang's eyes lit up.
