Jiang Yuan pointed behind everyone, five kilometers away, at a black skull-shaped hill isolated in the silver desert.

"The soul-eating insects over there are the farthest away. Let's hurry up and run to that hill. The ground there is hard, so we shouldn't make any crying sounds when we step on it!"

Some people worry: “Is this… okay?”

"Let's just try to hide from it first!!!"

"Yeah! Don't waste time! Run!"

Saving their lives was the most important thing, so all the players ran towards the hill.

Jiang Yuan reminded: "Also, don't get too close to each other when running! Otherwise, the sand will be too stressful, and the cries will gather together, attracting more insects!"

"it is good!!!"

Although the distance is a bit far, fortunately most of the players in the game have strong physical fitness and sufficient physical strength.

A team of several thousand people dispersed in the blink of an eye and fled from the spot.

Jiang Yuan followed behind to provide cover, worried that the woman holding the child would run too slowly, and was about to help, but the woman said:

"Thank you, Commander Xiao Jiang. That's okay."

She bent down and put the child on the ground. The little girl, holding the pacifier in her mouth, got on all fours and crawled away at the speed of light. She quickly jumped to the front of the crowd, leaving Jiang Yuanxiang far behind.

Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded: ...

The woman explained sheepishly, "When I was pregnant, my family bought a lot of high-quality pearls and jade from Mi Qiu, which over-supplemented me. Now the child is normal outside, but as soon as he enters the game, he acts like he has activated cheats."

Jiang Yuan: "Well... this child has a promising future."

But the horse will die if you try to climb the mountain, especially in the desert.

The hill looked quite close, but it was really hard to run over it.

In addition, the desert has great resistance, the sand is slippery, and the ground is shaking. Many people are not used to running in it, and they slip and fall accidentally, dragging a group of people with them.

Jiang Yuan followed behind like a sheepdog, constantly helping up players who fell or fell behind.

There was an old lady who could not run any longer, so the young executive picked her up and carried her to her destination ahead of time.

But just after putting the old lady down, Jiang Yuan looked back and saw a gangster with a crew cut who pushed the aunt in front of him away and ran away.

"Wow ah ah!"

The aunt was about to stand up when her body trembled and she fell back.

"what happened?"

Not understanding what was going on, she tried to stand up again, but fell back down again.

This time half of his body was sunk into the sand.

Soon, she realized that it was not that she couldn't stand up, but that the sand beneath her was shaking more violently, making it impossible for her to get up.

The players who had safely reached the hilltop were pale as they pointed at the circular hole behind her and said in horror:

"A soul-eating worm has arrived!"

“Help…Help…Ah…!”

With death looming over her head, the aunt's eyes were filled with tears and she couldn't even move.

Just as she was about to sink into the sand and die on the spot, a black figure jumped out like lightning, picked up the aunt, carried her on his back, and fled from the trap as quickly as possible.

It’s Jiang Yuan!

But the next second after he left the trap, a dragon-like creature suddenly jumped out from under the huge collapsed sand pit, with its huge mouth wide open, rushing straight into the sky.

It is obviously the soul-eating insect that my junior student mentioned.

Through the sand and fog, the monster looked like a long dragon-shaped caterpillar at first glance.

But when the sand had almost stopped shaking, the players took a closer look and were all horrified.

The monster was dark gray all over, with no face or eyes. Its entire head was a mouthpart, like a crater, and the mouthparts were densely packed with layers of sharp long teeth.

But what is even more disturbing is its fur.

Those were not real hairs, but countless long worms that looked just like it, constantly stretching and retracting in the holes on the mother's body, opening and closing their mouthparts, sticking out their fangs, also thirsting for food.

This is simply a cryptic nightmare.

"This is a queen insect! It's covered with soul-eating mouthparts!!!" Not far away, a junior student shouted:

"Don't let it touch you!!!"

Jiang Yuan said: "Okay!!! Hide somewhere safe!"

He carried the woman on his back, dodging left and right. The ground shaking intensified again, and two huge soul-eating insects jumped out from the sand behind him.

Three giant insects shot out of the sand like springs and swooped down towards Jiang Yuan.

The aunt was so scared that she rolled her eyes, but Jiang Yuan held her and ran steadily towards the hill.

The thug worriedly said, "He...he won't attract all the bugs here, right?"

Someone heard the thug's hidden meaning, that he wanted everyone to drive Jiang Yuan away together, and said dissatisfiedly:

"What a beast you are talking about. If you weren't so afraid of death, would the young lady have fallen down?"

The gangster muttered: "..Tsk...what does it have to do with me?"

In the darkness, a gaze stared at the gangster quietly, as cold as a knife, making the gangster with a crew cut feel inexplicably creepy.

"what happened?"

He rubbed the back of his neck.

On the other side, Jiang Yuan felt a hurricane coming from behind. He leaned over to help, protecting his aunt as she rolled three times on the sand and successfully rolled into the solid ground of the Black Hill.

Seeing that the three giant insects were about to hit him, the gangster said in fear again:

“It’s over, it’s over!!! I told you! They really attracted the bugs here, ahh ...

The other players also looked unhappy and hid in the tunnels deep in the hills.

At this moment, several deafening roars were heard from the rolling sand waves.

“Bang bang bang bang bang wu ...

“Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-woooo ...

“Bang bang bang bang bang wuu ...

The three giant soul-eating insects suddenly slammed on the brakes about ten meters away from the black hill, turned 180 degrees collectively, and after a few loud thuds, burrowed back into the sand.

The cries were deafening, and the sand waves surged towards the hills like a tsunami, setting off a sandstorm that covered the sky.

A few minutes later.

The soul-eating insects went away and did not return to the sand, and gradually disappeared from view.

The players escaped from many dangerous situations and only breathed a sigh of relief when the dust settled.

"Phew, finally, I managed to escape..."

"We survived, we survived! Husband, we really survived!!!"

The aunt who was saved by Jiang Yuan burst into tears and expressed gratitude:

"Thank you, thank you, Executive Officer Xiao Jiang!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's what I should do."

He wanted to get some tissue to wipe his aunt's tears, but when he felt his pocket he remembered that this game was a little special and they didn't bring anything with them.

Although he was safe for the time being, he still felt a little uneasy.

The positions where the soul-eating insects turned around just now were very consistent, almost in a line.

Not only is it neat, but it is also very urgent.

It may be because the place he chose is particularly safe. The ground below the hill is hard and it is not convenient for them to drill.

But there is another possibility.

It is here that there is an existence that even the soul-eating insects fear.

I shouldn't be that unlucky...

Jiang Yuan made a secret estimate in his mind.

But no matter what, the players got some time to rest.

Taking advantage of the free time, Jiang Yuan continued to complete his work as an executive, counting the number of people and making plans for the follow-up.

But just when he was halfway through counting, several crisp sounds suddenly came from above the players.

“-Tatta--!”

“Tatta!”

“Tatta---Tatta!!”

Is that the sound of horse hooves?

But there are only players here, where do the horses come from?

Everyone turned around and saw more than a dozen tall gray-white figures appearing one after another above the dark stone wall behind them.

This group of people who suddenly appeared, riding on tall horses of which only skeletons were left, wearing heavy cloaks, and covering their faces with worn skull masks, had various long swords and short weapons buckled on their leather belts. They were fully armed, murderous, and extremely dangerous.

They were gray from head to toe, just like the gloomy desert.

The clothes were covered with cracks, holes, and burn marks from knives and axes. They looked weathered, like a group of ghost knights who had been baptized by war and came down from an ancient battlefield.

The cruel appearance was creepy and majestic, exuding a frightening aura that frightened everyone so much that they dared not speak for a moment, let alone act rashly.

The players were afraid, but when Jiang Yuan first saw this group of people, his eyes lit up and he secretly admired them:

So...so handsome!

Their attire was considered particularly cool among all the game characters he had seen.

This group of mysterious people looked down at everyone against the dim light, as if they were looking at a group of ants.

After looking at each other for a moment, they exchanged glances.

Then, one of them pulled the reins, and the bone horse kicked and took two steps forward.

"You damned bastards, stand at attention! Stand still!"

The man cleared his throat and announced loudly:

"The Wandering Knights have arrived! Hand over all the valuables you have!!!"
