Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 173

Episode 173 Ji

-ryeong Lee looked ahead with his arms crossed.

I saw a huge castle in the distance.

A huge castle that clearly shows off its presence even though it is far away.

Lee Ji-ryeong immediately realized that that was the core of this dungeon.

An old castle that suddenly appeared in a lifeless and desolate terrain.

Anyone who looked could see that that was the core of the dungeon.

The problem was the process of getting there.

At first glance, it seemed close, but in reality, it was far away. Of course, the process of getting to Goseong couldn’t have been easy.

At that time, Jello A came to his side.

“how will we do it? Should we set up a base here?”

“I think that would be better. “Because we need time for others to gather together.”

The Pegasus attack team was scattered, perhaps because there were so many people.

In order to properly conquer the dungeon, everyone had to come together.

Jello A nodded as if he understood.

“okay. “I’ll make it as flashy as possible so everyone can see it.”

He returned to the base team and began work.

The structures brought into subspace were erected one after another to create a wall.

A huge wall was built in a circle in the vacant lot.

This is enough to serve as a temporary base. However, it was not enough to satisfy Zelo A.

Jello A shouted.

“Install the wings of the guardian. Everyone come inside the wall.”

At his cry, the awakened people came into the wall. Then, Zelo A took out a huge flag from subspace and placed it in the center.

Huh!

In an instant, an invisible membrane covered the space surrounded by the wall in a hemispherical shape.

“under! “I will live.”

“After all, they are the wings of a protector.”

The awakened people breathed a sigh of relief.

The Guardian’s Wings were an item unearthed in a dungeon.

It is a type of base item that prevents B-class or lower demons from recognizing the space itself.

Since it is not recognized, of course it cannot be attacked.

That wasn’t the only effect.

The hemispherical membrane, which the demonic beast cannot recognize, is clearly visible to the human eye.

Of course, it can be seen and visited from afar.

As soon as the guardian’s wings were activated, dozens of people came. They were the scattered awakened members of the Pegasus raiding party.

Afterwards, the awakened mercenaries also came inside. However, there was still no news about Jeon and Cha Jin-cheol’s group.

Ji-ryeong Lee frowned.

“I guess they fell somewhere far away.”

“It happens often, doesn’t it? “You both have a lot of experience, so you will come back well.”

Zelo A said with an expression that it was no big deal. But Lee Ji-ryeong’s position was different.

“If you do this, the method of attack will change.”

The original plan was to break through to the nuclear site at once with a supply offensive. However, since the power was scattered like this, there was no choice but to make modifications.

Lee Ji-ryeong called the exploration team leader Gesling.

“Gessling!”

“yes! Leader.”

“Before everyone gathers, understand the terrain here. “You can do it, right?”

“Of course, Captain. “It’s not even a day or two.”

Gesling showed confidence.

The exploration team, which included Lee Chi-woo, a Gesling cartographer as a detector, Obroi as a guide, and MacNine as a guardian, performed their mission well even in an even harsher environment.

“Shall we add more people?”

“It’s done. “It just gets in the way.”

The reason the exploration team was maintained at four people for a long time is because they work well together. If other people get caught in it, it won’t run smoothly like foreign matter stuck in a gear.

Lee Ji-ryeong said with a grin.

“okay. “If you encounter an abnormal phenomenon or a large demonic beast, return immediately.”

“okay! Leader.”

Gesling immediately led the exploration team and left the base.

Exploring the dungeon with only four people seemed uneasy, but Ji-ryeong Lee still trusted them.

So far, the exploration team has never betrayed his expectations.

‘Anyway, where did Xeon fall?’

It never occurred to me that Zeon might have been attacked by a demonic beast.

No matter how much mana I spent opening the entrance to the dungeon, I couldn’t imagine being attacked by a demonic beast because of that.

By the time the exploration team returns, preparations will be completed when Xeon and the awakeners from the western sector join.

It was then.

Quad Deuk!

Suddenly, the ground in the area shook.

The earth trembles as if an earthquake has occurred.

Lee Ji-ryeong shouted in an unusual atmosphere.

“Everyone be quiet.”

At that moment, the people inside the base all fell silent. Then they too could feel the vibration of the earth.

Quad deuk!

The earth was rising before their eyes.

‘What is that?’

‘oh my god!’

It was a huge mole that broke through the ground and rose up.

A monster beast of enormous size, approximately twenty meters in length from head to tail.

Its back was made of rock, and every time it moved, a little bit of debris fell, and its blade-like curved claws were larger and sharper than an adult.

The eyes of the giant mole beast barely looked as if they had completely degenerated.

The giant mole that broke through the ground and came up to the ground sniffed its nose as if it were smelling something.

The direction the giant mole’s nose was pointing was exactly the base.

Thump thump!

This guy has approached the base.

A giant mole beast that hovers around the base and sniffs.

Because its eyes had completely degenerated and its protective wings impeded its perception, the giant mole beast could not recognize people. Still, something strange seemed to be happening as the giant mole wandered around the base, sniffing around.

Each awakened person held a weapon in their hand and prepared to attack at any time.

I believe in wings of protection, but I still prepare for any emergency.

Quad Deuk!

At that time, another giant mole beast came up through the ground. Like other guys, it walked around the base and smelled it.

‘Does this mean it’s class D or should it be considered class C?’

It was a type of magical beast that I had never experienced before.

Of course, I didn’t know their names or their abilities. So I’m watching.

There was nothing I couldn’t do if I wanted to catch them, but I had to figure out how many of those monsters were in this dungeon and what level they

were among them. Fortunately, the giant mole beasts were unable to find the people within their wings of protection and returned underground.

“phew!”

“Shit!”

Only then did the awakened people let down their guard and collapse to the floor.

The tension was gone.

Ji-ryeong Lee called Bronson, the leader of the strategy team, and asked.

“Have you ever seen a magical beast like that?”

“Never. “At least, it’s a magical beast we haven’t seen in the dungeon we conquered.”

“What level does it look like?”

“It is at least D grade, but since it is so large, I think it would be safe to consider it C grade.”

“Same as I thought.”

Naturally, the bigger you are, the stronger your strength and defense will be.

I don’t know what attack skills the giant mole beast has, but its huge size alone is enough to be a threat to humans.

Ji-ryeong Lee touched the tip of his chin with his hand and muttered.

“I can’t even guess what kind of demonic beast the owner of this place is.”

“The exploration team will find out.”

“Tell them to stay calm until then.”

“All right.”

Bronson left with his answer.

Lee Ji-ryeong, who was left alone, muttered.

“Xeon, where are you?”

＊＊＊

Suddenly!

A giant mole demon appeared through the ground.

“It’s a demonic beast.”

“One team enters battle mode.”

Cha Jin-cheol gave the order without delay.

Weeing!

At that moment, ten of the awakened people in the west area stepped forward.

They worked together right away.

One group of awakeners immediately went into battle mode.

Slam! Slam!

With a mechanical sound, their arms and legs changed to be suitable for battle.

The metallic limbs gave off a vaguely eerie feeling.

“Goes.”

One group of members attacked the giant mole beast at the same time.

bang!

Team Leader Il struck the head of the giant mole beast with his fist, but it was no use.

This is because everything from head to tail along the back is made of rock. The hard rock did not flinch even from the fists of the team members.

But it wasn’t that there was no income.

“Defense rating C or higher. “No attack can even cause damage.”

The data obtained while attacking the giant mole beast was being transmitted to the awakened people in the western area in real time.

Data is shared through links.

This was the fear of the awakened people in the western sector.

It was clearly a separate human being, but by sharing data through a link, it was possible to identify the magical beast’s power and respond immediately.

bang! bang! bang!

The group members fiercely attacked the giant mole beast.

Each time, the rock that made up its back was broken and chipped away. However, there were still many rocks left.

“It is very resistant to physical attacks. “I think it will be easier to suppress if there is a magic awakened person.”

Almost all of the awakeners in the western area were mechanized awakeners.

The mechanized awakener boasts as much destructive power as the martial arts awakener. However, it had the disadvantage that its attack power was limited to physical power.

To compensate for their shortcomings, mechanized awakeners attach various equipment.

Grumble!

One of them was the flame that was currently radiating from Captain Il’s arm.

Ultra-high-temperature flames poured into the mouth of the giant mole beast.

Wow!

The giant mole beast ran wild in agony due to the extremely high fever. Then the stomach area appeared.

The members of the group did not miss the opportunity.

bang!

A compressed air bullet flew out from one trillion won’s forearms and exploded into the stomach of the giant mole beast.

A large hole opened where the compressed air bullet exploded, and blood poured out.

“My weak point is my stomach area. Therefore, in order to attack the giant mole beast, you must somehow expose the ship and attack the ship.”

The group of people who received the shared data attacked the giant mole beast’s ship all at once.

The giant mole beast jumped from side to side in pain. However, the western area awakeners were so persistent that they only attacked the ship.

“It appears that there are no special attack skills. In conclusion, if you are careful about his size, he is an easy opponent.”

That was the leader’s judgment regarding the giant mole beast.

Now that we had all the data, there was no reason to delay any longer.

The members of the group attacked even more fiercely, and the giant mole beast soon fell down with a scream.

It was a lighter fight than expected considering its huge size.

“It was no big deal. “If we had a magic beast like this, it would be easy to attack.”

Cha Jin-cheol sneered.

You can tell ten by looking at one.

He used the giant mole beast to gauge the level of these dungeon beasts.

“Hehe! “At this rate, there’s no need for a Pegasus raid.”

“I think we can just proceed with the attack on our own.”

The awakened people of the western district gained confidence and gathered around Cha Jin-cheol.

Surrounded by them, Cha Jin-cheol’s smile grew even brighter.

On the other hand, Zeon was looking at Cha Jin-cheol and the giant mole beast with a serious expression.

The giant mole that had lost its life was drying out at an alarming rate.

My cheeks sank in and my stomach bulged.

Without knowing that fact, Cha Jin-cheol and the awakened people in the western district were happy that they had killed the giant mole beast.

Brielle grabbed Zeon’s sleeve.

With the unique sense of a high elf, he sensed something ominous.

“Xeon!”

Jeon held Brielle’s hand and spoke to Cha Jin-cheol.

“Everyone be careful.”

“careful? what?”

It was the moment when Cha Jin-cheol made a puzzled expression.

Wow!

It appeared with a chilling wind.

A translucent human wearing a robe holding a large scythe.

The guy appeared like a ghost and looked around.

“What is that?”

“Is that a magical beast too?”

The awakened people in the western district were chatting with expressions as if they were seeing something amazing.

At that moment, Zeon shouted.

“It’s the Grim Reaper. Everyone avoid it.”
