Komatsu's Love Defense

The scorching sun mercilessly burned the red desert, and every inch of sand was dyed a dazzling bright red. There was not a single cloud in the sky to block the view, and the scorching light poured down mercilessly.

The sand was baking under high temperatures, evaporating heat. Hot air was rising from the ground, making it almost impossible to breathe. The heat wave rolled over the desert, distorting the air like a mirage, and the scene in the distance became hazy and ethereal in the heat wave.

The camel walked slowly in the red desert with heavy steps. Its thick feet stepped on the soft red sand, making a subtle "sizzling" sound. However, the camel's eyes began to show fatigue and weakness. It stuck out its tongue and panted heavily, obviously unable to bear the torture of the high temperature.

In this extremely hot environment, A Lu's body was surrounded by rolling heat waves. He felt like he was in a huge steamer, enduring the merciless baking of high temperature every moment.

A'lu's skin was soaked with sweat, but it evaporated instantly, leaving only a thin layer of salt stains. His cheeks quickly cracked due to extreme lack of water, and his originally smooth skin became rough, and even tiny cracks could be clearly seen.

A Lu noticed the abnormal rise in temperature. He subconsciously turned his head and shouted with concern: "Xiao Song, drink water quickly!"

A Lu stared at the saddle on the back of the camel with his eyes wide open, and a strong fear suddenly surged in his heart. Xiao Song, who was originally sitting there, disappeared without a trace, leaving only an empty saddle. At this moment, his heart was filled with fear and anxiety.

A Lu looked around hurriedly, trying to catch Xiao Song's trace in the vast desert. His eyes shuttled between the sand dunes, but he could only see endless red sand and rolling heat waves. He shouted Xiao Song's name loudly, but the only response was the whistling of the wind.

At this moment, the red desert under the camel's feet suddenly began to stir. The originally still red sand dunes surged rapidly, and the sand flew in the wind, forming huge sand vortexes.

The camel became shaky in this sudden sandstorm. Its four legs trembled as it tried to stand firm, but the strong sandstorm made it impossible to keep its balance. Its originally bright eyes now became dim, full of fatigue and despair.

Finally, under the torment of the scorching heat, the camel fell to the ground helplessly, its body undulating slightly with the surge of the sand dunes. At the same time, the red wine camel that Zebra was riding was also affected. Its tall body swayed in the sandstorm, and finally it lost consciousness due to the unbearable heat and fell in the desert.

A Lu immediately realized that the situation was not good. He jumped onto the back of the fallen camel and shouted in panic: "What? Not good! Even camels can't stand this kind of heat!"

Zebula quickly jumped off the camel and stood firmly on the sand. He stared at the sandstorm in front of him and said in a cold tone: "Alu, it's a sand flow, it's very big!"

As soon as the words fell, a huge sand pit suddenly appeared under the feet of Alu and Zebula. The red sand sank down quickly like flowing water, forming a huge whirlpool. The two camels, which were already dying, were also sucked into it by this force and disappeared in the red sand.

Faced with this sudden change, Alu and Zebula did not hesitate too much. With their sharp intuition and reaction speed, they quickly jumped out of the sand flow and landed steadily in a relatively safe area.

Ah Lu turned his head and stared at the huge red sand pit. A nervous expression appeared on his face, and there was obvious worry in his voice: "It's not good, I don't know where Xiaosong went..."

At this moment, Zebra seemed unusually calm. He stared at the rolling red desert not far away. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of mockery: "So that's it... Is this the maze in the desert?"

The heat in the red desert began to evaporate, forming twisted heat waves. Under the cover of this heat wave, a strange phenomenon began to take place above the desert. From a distance, it was a blurry and distorted image, as erratic as the reflection on the water, but with a sense of unreality.

In the center of the distorted illusion, a human face gradually emerged. The outline of the face was blurred and distorted, and it looked extremely strange. The corners of the human mouth slightly raised, outlining a strange smile, which was full of disdain, as if it was mocking everyone who dared to step into this maze.

A Lu stared at the strange face, his eyes full of fear and confusion, and asked loudly: "What...what on earth is that?"

Zebula withdrew his gaze from the man's face. He looked at A'lu calmly and explained in a calm tone: "It was the Mirage. The moment we entered this desert, the Mirage took the little ghost to another place."

[Little knowledge: Mirage, also known as mirage, is a natural phenomenon caused by the refraction and total reflection of light. Its formation is closely related to weather conditions, meteorological conditions, geographical location, geophysics, etc.

Mirages can be seen at sea or on land, and their characteristic is that they appear repeatedly in the same place and at the same time.

A Lu turned his gaze to Zebula beside him, a trace of worry revealed between his brows, and asked anxiously: "Can you find it, Zebula!"

Zebra nodded slightly and closed his eyes. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a confident arc: "It's easy, but that skill consumes a lot of energy."

Zebula slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination. The corners of his mouth slightly turned up, outlining a hint of confidence, and he responded nonchalantly: "Alu, I'll leave those guys to you!"

Before he finished speaking, a low and strange roar suddenly sounded in the desert. In the red sand dunes not far away, hideous and ugly beasts kept emerging. Their faces merged with the distorted faces of the people in the maze, forming a horrifying picture. These beasts had red lights flashing in their eyes and made creepy roars, as if they were going to devour the entire desert.

A Lu's face darkened, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He clenched his fists, felt the power surging in his body, and replied calmly: "Okay... It's finally my turn to play!"

Zebra smiled triumphantly and raised his hands. He opened his mouth and emitted a low and special sound wave: "Echo Locating!"

Zebra was concentrating on sensing the echo of the sound waves. The sound waves spread in the air like tangible ripples and spread in all directions. As the sound waves spread, the entire desert seemed to be vibrating in the sound waves.

Through the echoes of sound and ultrasound, Zebra has a detailed grasp of the surrounding situation. He can accurately sense objects, distances and sizes within a range of tens of kilometers, and can even see the situation underground and underwater.

However, Zebra also knew the cost of this skill. He needed extremely high concentration to maintain the emission and perception of sound waves. When the map was expanded to dozens of kilometers, he would no longer be able to use other special skills.
