PFC Chapter 394 Tumbleweed
Chapter 394 Tumbleweed
On Lilith's side, while other teams were fighting fiercely, the black-haired boy had nimbly climbed to the top of the stone pillar, but what he didn't expect was that there was nothing on the small platform above.
This extraordinary result surprised Ian a little, but he didn't waste any more time and turned around to prepare to climb down.
"boom--"
The unlucky Yellow Team was held tightly by the White Team from the very beginning and was extremely depressed at the moment. A magician girl standing behind the guardian found the right opportunity and chanted quickly. A huge fireball condensed quickly, making the already dry air even hotter. Then, the fireball with a huge flame tail smashed towards the opponent's back row.
Although the opponent's magician reacted quickly and blocked it with shield magic, the fireball exploded with a loud noise, and the sparks still splashed on many people around, causing the opponent's formation to collapse.
The explosion made Ian, who was climbing, couldn't help but look sideways. This glance made him notice something strange even though he was at a high place!
In the distant sand, the sand began to flow slowly like living things, as if it was gently arched up by something, gradually forming a vague long outline, approaching the two teams in fierce battle at a fast speed.
——There’s something under the sand!
"Lilith!" When he realized this, Ian almost subconsciously called out the name.
Lilith, who was standing under a stone pillar and watching the battle in the distance, looked up blankly. But at the same time, a scream came from the sidelines. Some timid people even ran away from their seats. Lilith saw Ian's stern expression, and before she could react, she heard a loud noise coming from the distance.
The Yellow Team and the White Team, who were in a fierce battle, suddenly felt the light in front of their eyes dim, and a black shadow broke out from under the sand, and its huge body rushed towards them with a cloud of dust.
There are unknown monsters hiding under the sand!
"Don't be afraid, dear audience. Our protection is safe enough. No matter what kind of monster it is, it is impossible to break through the boundaries of the stadium and run into the stadium. This is part of the game." Rebecca glanced at the audience who were making a fuss and tried to comfort them perfunctorily.
"It's a sandworm. I was lucky enough to see this creature when I was traveling in the desert." Instructor Hurst found an opportunity to show off. "Our dwarf friends have great confidence in the children. They even brought this king of the desert to the competition field."
Instructor Hurst's words were of no help to the players in the competition. The monster was covered with rough scales, each of which was the size of a palm and polished by sand to a shiny sheen. Its triangular head twisted and turned, and its densely packed teeth protruded from its jaws. Disgusting mucus flowed between its teeth, and it headed straight for the place where the last sound was made.
The White Team, which had taken the initiative to attack, had the widest front line and had no time to return to defense. They saw a guardian being swallowed up in the direction of the fireball explosion and disappeared from the field in an instant. A white light flashed on the sidelines, and he appeared outside the field with the fear and confusion of dying on his face... He was eliminated.
The field fell into deathly silence for a moment, and the giant sandworm hit the target with one strike, sinking into the sand like a swimming snake. The sand began to ripple again, like a boiling black ocean, making it impossible to judge the direction of its next attack.
The original battle situation has been overturned. The White Team has changed from the position of pursuers to the pursued. Everyone quickly retreated and tried to stay together. The Yellow Team followed suit, gathering together while keeping an eye out for the traces of the monster under the sand.
Unexpectedly, the situation could get even worse. A strong wind suddenly blew up inside the closed arena. Everyone was afraid of the monsters below, but they couldn't open their eyes because of the wind and sand when they wanted to keep an eye on them.
"Oh my God! Is this ever going to end?" Although the monster was not on Lilith's side, the sudden blowing sand and dust felt like a slap in the face. Lucas couldn't help but wail, but was suddenly slapped in the face by something.
Lucas:?
"What is that?!" He covered his face in confusion and turned around, only to see a black ball bouncing away in the wind. It flew to the edge of the field and disappeared immediately.
"It looks like... tumbleweed?" The wind and sand were so strong that Lilith could only look out through her fingers and said uncertainly.
The same situation was happening between the White Team and the Yellow Team. One guardian's heart was beating like a drum. Since he couldn't open his eyes, he kept waving his sword. Then he heard a crisp sound and something was cut by his sword.
Bright magic fireworks soared into the sky with a shriek, illuminating the guardian's stunned face and forming a beautiful figure in the sky -
10!
"Team Yellow gets 10 points! Oh, did we finally get something?" Instructor Hurst's voice sounded at the right time, "Congratulations—"
"boom!"
Before Hurst could finish his congratulations, the sandworms heard the noise again, broke out of the ground, and rushed towards the fireworks. But thanks to the loss suffered by the White Team before, the players of the Yellow Team had been warned. At the moment the fireworks exploded, someone had already reacted and picked up the guardian who was cutting the tumbleweeds and dodged to the side.
After the sandworm was unearthed, the location it was aiming at was indeed the location where the fireworks exploded!
The fishy mouth almost touched the guardian's scalp. The sand was smooth and the only way to dodge was the stone pillar behind him. The members of the yellow team climbed up while fleeing, but the sandworm really stopped chasing them, shook a few times like a snake, and dived into the sand again.
"It can't see! It determines its position by sound!" Someone finally reacted and shouted to his teammates. Moreover, this stone pillar seems to be a safe zone? !
Lilith also realized that in this competition, the scare box was not placed anywhere in the field, but was hidden in the tumbleweeds, appearing intermittently with the strong winds in the field!
"sulfuric acid!"
There was a flash of silver light, and it was Lilith drawing her sword. She cut a large piece of cloth from the hem of her robe, covered her face with it and tied it tightly to resist the surging sandstorm. Most of her delicate features were covered, but her eyes looked even more scorchingly bright.
"Need I say more, friends?" Lilith's voice came from behind the towel, with a determined look in her eyes.
"Got it! Let's get to work!" - Bobby also drew his sword and was ready!
Their target has appeared - it is the tumbleweed that keeps rolling into the field from the wind and sand above their heads. What they want is hidden in it!
The audience on the sidelines discovered that the Red Team, which had taken action first but had been stagnant, finally started moving again and headed towards the vent where the tumbleweeds appeared in the field!
