Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 188
Episode 188
“Wow! omg!”
Brielle walked on the sand, breathing heavily.
Zeon and Levin were walking in front of her, and Eloi was walking behind her.
Her face was red from the scorching sun and she was out of breath, but she did not receive any more help from Levin.
Because I know that there will be no progress if I continue to rely on it. So I decided to walk on my own even if I fell in the middle.
From time to time, Levin looked at her with pity, but he respected her wishes and did not extend his hand.
Levin’s gaze turned to Xeon.
Zeon said this morning:
The exact distance is unknown, but they say they are west of Neo Seoul. So we have to go east.
I guessed it after looking at the constellations last night, but they didn’t tell me that.
Elroy muttered behind him.
“that’s interesting. “The dungeon was definitely north of Neo Seoul, but the place we fell was to the west.”
“That’s because the dungeon itself is a place where human common sense does not apply.”
“Is it because someone doesn’t know that? “I’m just saying this out of curiosity, kid!”
“Who is this kid? “Can’t you just have Mandy come out instead?”
“Mandy can’t stand this kind of environment.”
Eloy answered Levin’s question firmly.
The perceived temperature of the hot sand is more than fifty to sixty degrees.
No matter how good an awakened person is, they cannot last long in this environment. Moreover, they were walking on two legs.
If it had been Mandy, she would have collapsed a long time ago.
Mandy looked at Xeon walking in front.
Zeon was walking through this harsh environment without much difficulty.
I felt envious of the sand that seemed to be pushing it around on its own.
‘It’s a truly enviable ability. A man loved by the sand….’
I wasn’t envious of the other Awakened’s abilities at all, but I was very envious of Zeon’s abilities.
At that time, Zeon suddenly stopped.
Elroy asked with a puzzled expression.
“what’s the matter?”
“It’s an oasis.”
“oasis? where?”
She quickly looked around. But the oasis was not visible.
“what? “I don’t have any.”
“It’s not there now, but it will be there soon.”
“What nonsense is that…”
Eloi looked at him with a distrustful expression, but Zeon’s face did not waver at all.
He said.
“There will be an oasis soon, so let’s take a break.”
“yes! brother.”
“huh! “I lived.”
Levin and Brielle believed Zeon’s words without any doubt.
They sat down on the floor and tapped their swollen legs.
“Err! I don’t know.”
In the end, Elroy also collapsed down next to them.
I don’t know if what Zeon said is true, but it’s still nice to have a break.
Levin took out some beef jerky from his backpack and handed it out.
It was jerky made from cultured meat, but it was good to eat while relaxing like this.
They were chewing beef jerky for a while.
Bugle!
Suddenly the sand shifted in front of them.
As if water was boiling, bubbles rose and sand began to be pushed out in all directions.
“what? A real oasis will be created?”
Elroy widened his eyes.
Unbelievably, an oasis was forming in front of them.
The sand was pushed out and clear water filled its place.
“It’s an oasis.”
“Wow!”
Levin and Brielle ran to the oasis, cheering.
I believed in Zeon, but when the oasis was truly created, my reason was paralyzed.
They couldn’t wait to cool off by soaking themselves in cold water.
with a plop!
The two jumped into the oasis almost at the same time.
Afterwards, Eloi also threw herself into the oasis.
The water was surprisingly cold and clear.
It felt like all the heat went away just by soaking my body.
Something strange caught the eyes of the three people playing in the water.
It was a pure white lamp.
It seemed as if the moon was floating in the water.
The eyes of the three people became hazy as they saw this for the first time in their lives.
Not only Brielle and Levin, but even the experienced Eloi were mesmerized by the lantern.
They waded through the current and approached the lantern.
As we got closer, the true nature of the lantern was revealed.
A body as big as a big horned hyena and a huge mouth that takes up more than half of it. And the antenna-shaped thorns on its forehead had large, round pieces of flesh on them.
What they mistook for a lantern was a round sphere attached to an antenna-shaped spike.
As the three approached, mesmerized by the lantern, the creature opened its wide mouth.
Three people approached the creature’s mouth, not knowing that they were in danger of being eaten.
“It’s a sand angler. Everyone, come to your senses.”
bang!
A loud bang erupted along with Zeon’s shout.
Before we knew it, Zeon had jumped in and attacked the magical beast that was trying to devour the three people.
The sand anglerfish, which was greatly shocked, tried to run away into the depths of the water, but Zeon did not let it go.
Zeon approached the maw of the sand at a frightening speed and delivered a powerful blow to the creature’s forehead.
Kuwang!
With the sound of a bomb exploding, the sand maw’s head was crushed.
Only then did the three people who had been possessed by the sand maw come to their senses.
“omg!”
“Wow! What is that?”
“The devil…”
The three people quickly climbed onto the sand and gasped.
Their faces were completely white.
The fact that they were almost eaten alive by a hideous beast sent them into a panic.
At that time, Zeon rose to the surface.
He threw something into the sand.
thud!
The object that fell to the sandy bottom with a dull sound was the corpse of the sand anglerfish that had tried to eat them just moments ago.
“Wow!”
“Ah-oh!”
“You mean we jumped into a place with a guy like that?”
When I saw the true nature of the sand maw, I became even more disgusted.
Zeon said as he got out of the water.
“Sand anglerfish. As you can see, it is a magical beast that works miracles in a desert without any moisture.”
“So, that demon called the Sand Maw created the oasis?”
“that’s right! “It usually swims in the sand, but sometimes it creates an oasis like this to attract prey.”
“What kind of demon…”
Eloi trembled as if she was afraid.
Although her personality was half-hearted, she was also a woman, so just looking at the corpse of a sand angler made her sick.
“Even though he looks ugly, he is useful in many ways. “In particular, its belly skin is soft and tough, so it performs best when making robes.”
“So…”
Just as Deioden had taught Zeon all those years ago, Zeon was also teaching them.
Brielle suddenly stopped retching and looked at the sand maw with bright eyes.
“If it’s made from real sand anglerfish belly skin, will it perform better?”
“It’s awesome.”
“Then give it to me. “I will make you a robe.”
“Do it that way.”
“Aww!”
Brielle cheered.
Zeon peeled off the sand maw’s belly skin and handed it to Brielle.
Brielle cherished the sand maw’s belly skin like a precious treasure.
As Zeon pushed away, he dismantled the sand maw.
Levin watched his work with a curious expression.
Zeon dismantled the sand maw into bite-size pieces and laid them out on the floor.
“There is very little to throw away when it comes to sand anglers. Among them, this gallbladder is the highlight. There is no medicine better than this for strengthening muscles and bones. “Who wants to eat it?”
“You want me to eat that? Wow! I do not want to.”
“It’s okay for me too.”
The women, Elroy and Brielle, clearly expressed their refusal.
Zeon’s eyes turned to Levin.
“Do you really like that?”
“You’ll be surprised after you eat it.”
“Then I will eat it.”
Levin answered with a stern expression.
I realized this while conquering this dungeon. It means that I am still lacking a lot.
I had to become stronger.
To become stronger, you could eat more than this.
Zeon said, handing over a large gallbladder.
“Eat everything.”
“You want me to eat all of this?”
“okay!”
The gallbladder Zeon ate before was several times larger than this.
Probably because it lived longer than the sand anglerfish I just caught.
Levin looked tired, but soon began eating with a determined expression.
Like all gallbladders, the gallbladder of the sand maw was extremely bitter.
The good news is that you don’t have to chew hard. This is because the moment it entered my mouth, it melted like ice cream.
I didn’t feel full at all.
Thanks to this, Levin was able to eat a huge amount of gallbladder.
“This all goes into it? that’s interesting.”
Levin also looked at his stomach in disbelief.
It was then.
Suddenly, a tremendous heat rose up in my stomach.
“Ahh!”
Levin rolled on the floor and screamed in great pain.
Brielle asked cautiously.
“Is that okay?”
“are you okay! If you sleep well and wake up, you will feel better. In the meantime, let’s just eat meat.”
“huh!”
Zeon took out a pot from subspace and put the sand anglerfish meat that had been disassembled a little while ago.
It was an item that was enchanted with magic and became hot even without fire.
Eloi asked, squatting down next to Zeon.
“Are you really going to eat this?”
“Even though it looks like this, it’s pretty delicious.”
“I live so long that I end up eating all sorts of things. The Sand Maw… But what happens to the oasis when the Sand Maw dies?”
“In a few days, it will disappear without a trace.”
“Then it won’t happen again?”
“A new pup will be born soon to replace it. “They always lay their eggs in advance.”
“I see.”
Elroy nodded at the fact he didn’t know.
While traveling with Zeon, I learned a lot of things I didn’t know before.
Probably no one in Neo Seoul knows that such a magical beast exists.
Zeon knew many secrets of the desert that most people did not know.
Suddenly, I wondered how many secrets existed in that small head.
Cheek!
Meanwhile, the sand monkfish meat was cooking in the pot.
Zeon took out some spices and sprinkled them on the sand angler fish. Then the smell became more fragrant.
“Wow!”
“The smell was crazy.”
The two women couldn’t come to their senses from the fragrant smell.
Zeon handed them some cooked sand angler fish.
Brielle and Elroy stuck their noses in their plates and ate hungrily, without caring who would go first.
The food Levin brought in his backpack was delicious, but nothing compared to the freshly roasted meat.
“ah! it’s good. “I can’t believe this hideous thing is this delicious.”
“I guess this is why you shouldn’t judge just by looking at the outside.”
Brielle and Elroy patted their bulging bellies and smiled with satisfaction.
“Ugh! Hehehe!”
Even then, Levin was screaming and rolling around on the floor.
Zeon looked at Levin while chewing sand anglerfish meat.
It was a pain he had already experienced.
The pain that feels as if your entire body is being torn apart and disintegrated will dominate your entire body. However, it was clear that once this pain passed, Levin’s body would change significantly.
‘Be patient. Because this pain will make you grow more.’
