"Looks like you're not ready yet." Hu Bayi teased Luo Li, while Shirley Yang also smiled with an inexplicable look in her eyes.

Luo Li ignored the joke and looked towards the outskirts of the camp. "During the day, I sensed some movement beneath the desert. I couldn't tell what it was, but it was clearly coming towards us. Pay attention."

Luo Li's words made Shirley Yang and Fatty Wang look a little doubtful, but Hu Bayi's face suddenly became serious. After the trip to Jiuzhou, he had a good idea of Luo Li's strength and naturally knew that the other party would not attack without reason. With Luo Li's strength, he was afraid that he would not make a mistake in sensing.

"What's going on under the desert?" Shirley Yang looked at Luo Li in confusion. She couldn't help but be confused. She was also a powerful cultivator who had broken through the realm, but she didn't sense anything along the way.

"This desert is full of dangers. I don't know what they are specifically, but you should still be vigilant and remind those people." Luo Li shook his head. He didn't know what it was, so he just speculated in his heart.

"Sand army ants? Or sand scorpions?" Luo Li was a little confused. He and Hantina were at the end of the team, so he could vaguely feel the movement underground, but the other party had been under the desert and had not shown up.

"Okay, I'll ask everyone to be careful." Hu Bayi replied to Luo Li, and then immediately went to the camp where the mercenaries were and reminded them to be vigilant.

After everyone returned to their respective tents, they were still vigilant. However, two hours had passed and there was no movement as Luo Li described. Shirley Yang's suspicion of Luo Li deepened a little. She shook her head and lay down. She chose to rest and recover her condition. After all, she had to continue her journey tomorrow!

Late at night, the starry sky of the desert is extremely beautiful. The sky is full of twinkling stars, and the little starlight shines on the yellow desert, covering the desert with a layer of silver gauze.

Everyone had gone to bed at this time, except for two mercenaries who were still keeping watch.

Suddenly, with the help of starlight, the two mercenaries saw a large number of bulges appearing in the sand outside the camp, and they were getting closer and closer to the temporary camp. The two men stood up immediately and shone the searchlight over there.

With the help of the light, the two men could see more clearly what was happening on the sand outside the camp. Then a large number of scorpions emerged from the ground and rushed towards the camp.

"Enemy attack!" One of them fired two shots into the sky in an instant. The harsh gunshots were particularly clear in the middle of the night, waking everyone up instantly.

Luo Liben hadn't slept at all, so he rushed out immediately. Seeing the dense desert scorpions outside the camp, he even developed claustrophobia.

He took out his Uzi without hesitation and opened fire at the attacking sand scorpions.

The bullets hit the other side, instantly smashing the bodies of these sand scorpions into pieces, and green blood splattered everywhere.

The rest of the people also quickly rushed out of the tent and rested in the desert. They were still wearing their clothes, so they moved quickly.

After more than ten people came out of the tents, the situation in the camp was temporarily stabilized.

"What is this thing!" Shirley Yang looked at these sand scorpions with a sense of disgust. Girls have a natural aversion to these little bugs.

"Sand scorpions are a type of scorpion that lives in the desert all year round. Severe cold and high temperatures have little effect on them. Their tails are highly venomous. Even an adult will feel pain for several hours if stung." Hu Bayi, who was quite knowledgeable, recognized the species of these scorpions and spoke them out very quickly.

"And this is just the lowest level. To be able to organize such a large-scale operation, there must be someone like the Scorpion King." Hu Bayi's face looked a little ugly. He encountered this kind of thing on the first day, so naturally he would not be in a good mood.

"Moreover, there is something wrong with these sand scorpions. According to ancient records, they are very afraid of loud noises. Generally speaking, they will quickly flee after hearing the sound to avoid being hunted by natural enemies. But now, our gunshots are so fierce, and they still dare to attack!" Hu Bayi was a little confused. This was inconsistent with the records in his sect's ancient books.

"There's nothing to be confused about. The environment has changed a lot now. What used to be their natural enemy may not be their natural enemy now. It's understandable that their temperament has changed." Luo Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and no one knew what was going on in his mind.

Hu Bayi waved the cold bronze magic sword and cast one spell after another to solidify the sand around the camp, making it easier for everyone to move.

"Damn it, these things' main target is not us, but the camels." Fatty Wang suddenly discovered that a large number of sand scorpions passed by them and rushed towards the place where the camels were resting.

"Oh no! The camel's vitality is too strong. I'm afraid this is the reason why the sand scorpions attacked. Plus, the camel has little ability to resist. If these sand scorpions get close to it, I'm afraid it will suffer heavy losses." Shirley Yang's eyes also flashed with sadness.

Camels are very important in this mission. Not only can they lead everyone across the desert, but their huge size also allows them to carry a lot of supplies. If something happens to these camels, I'm afraid everyone will have to return home tomorrow.

"The Eight Trigrams protect the world, and the universe is reversed!" Hu Bayi watched this scene coldly, and the cold copper magic sword in his hand instantly pointed a few times in the void, and then a yellow Eight Trigrams formation covered the position where the camel was.

Originally, these sands were the home ground for the sand scorpions and would not hinder their movements at all. But now, with the formation of Hu Bayi's magic circle, the sands became a cage for them. Their speed suddenly dropped, and they felt as if they were carrying a heavy object.

Hantina looked at Hu Bayi's methods with some surprise. This strange ability really broadened her horizons, but she did not stop her movements. The gun in her hand continued to shoot at the scorpions on the sand.

What puzzled her most was Luo Li's exceptional marksmanship. Even a rank-breaking expert like her couldn't kill as quickly as Luo Li. Even with a submachine gun like an Uzi, he managed to fire down these sand scorpions, which were no bigger than a fist, without missing a single bullet.

Although his momentum was not as great as Hu Bayi's, the casualties he caused were more than the total number of people in the entire camp.

"Don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend." Luo Li could naturally feel Hantina's gaze and joked.

There was no trace of worry on his face. Just kidding, these things were not even a piece of cake for him.

"Who is obsessed with you? Shame on you." Hantina withdrew her gaze and muttered.
