The hard rock under your feet has become a sandbank again. I don''t know whether those stones are covered with fine sand, or they have become dust after tens of thousands of years of wind and sun in this short few steps. The team of four left behind a few parallel footprints on the sandbar, which looks quite elegant.
When the footprints are far away from their feet, they start to seep out of the water. When the water fills the footprints, a series of bubbles will emerge from the bottom, forming a column in succession. It''s like living creatures in the sand under the footprints, or the footprints attract them.
This situation did not appear for long before it attracted attention. Cheese began to deliberately take some curved route when leading the road. He was trying to observe the footprints behind his back in this way. The fog in the sky has eased, and after it has been known that the source of the steam is steam gushing from the rock, this phenomenon can not be said to be totally unreasonable.
It''s just that, generally speaking, the fog should disperse evenly, and the present situation can only show that there is some force forcing the smoke to flow outward, wrapping it up. But this still can''t explain the abnormal situation at the foot, with the intention of grey robe, his team members have gradually noticed.
The "gadagada" sand was pushed out of the footprints, and the original regular edges were destroyed and turned into Canyon like depressions. It can be seen that some insect like limbs push out the fine sand. The frequency of these tiny limbs is very fast. In fact, the sound is very small. If not here, there is not even a gust of wind except for cheese. I''m afraid the sound of sand pushing will not be so easily detected.
In fact, the most sensitive eyes and ears of the team are not cheese and weia. These two mages have been influenced too much in the laboratory, and their sensory sensitivity is much slower than those who have been living in nature for a long time. So the first person to point to the things in the footprints was Juni.
It may be due to the influence of animal disease. The sense organs of the young apprentice are different from those of ordinary people. For example, in addition to hearing the sound of sand pushing, the first person to see the small things was him.
Eunila took tutor''s grey robe and whispered a few words in the latter''s ear, expressing what she saw as much as possible. Cheese listened to the heart of a bit of care, told Yoni not to speak loudly, one by one will see and hear to tell the other two people. At the same time, their steps can not be broken.
The reason to be so careful is that grey robes don''t know how things under the sand will react if they stand in one place for too long.
It''s not far from what they''re looking for. Combined with the habits of the worm''s offspring, at worst, those tiny limbs may actually be part of its body. If you start it now, you will probably spend too much energy dealing with these unimportant organs before the decisive battle begins. But whether it''s curiosity or a retreat, it''s better for them to figure out what those are.
"Can you push the sand away? Just a little bit. " Cheese made a few simple gestures to Viva to illustrate his idea. Her plastic energy spell can be very fine in element control, which is very suitable for this situation.
The female mage nodded and pretended to be unsteady and staggering. She bowed forward and caught a few grains of dust in her hand. Lolo made a gesture to help her, in fact, in order to block the magic light in his eyes. Of course, it''s a steady step for a female mage. She pushes Lolo away and shakes her hand. It seems that she has shaken the sand from her hand. She has actually finished casting.
In the small puddle not far from them, the sand sloped on all sides like a pool of broken dykes, and soon drained away, disappearing under the sand grains, revealing a few thin limbs. Those thin limbs froze for a moment, it seems that they have not made clear the current situation, and are still confused why the top of the head has become dry.
Several people quietly walked into the footprints and saw the owner of the slender limbs crawling out of the sand to examine the problem. It looks like a hermit crab by the sea. The so-called slender limbs are also its forelimbs and pincers. However, different from the common hermit crabs, although only a head is exposed, several people can see the humanized light in the eyes protruding from the trunk.
Its image immediately reminds cheese of what Rosa had mentioned before, and also brought back some of his sea friends, shell people, from lost heart Bay. It''s a group of crustaceans that are described as having non human intelligence and can communicate with humans in a nonverbal way.
Cheese didn''t see the shell people with their own eyes, because they didn''t follow Lothar north. In the count''s words, the cold water in the North would hurt the shell man''s fragile body, so they only gathered in the southernmost ports of the grey lion and lived in seclusion. So, is this creature with humanized eyes in front of you, is it a shell man, or a variety of shell man? Or is it actually the pawn of evil gods?
It was also the first time for Weiya to see this magical creature. She saw that the other party did not seem to realize that she had become the focus of the group, so she cast the magic again, raising the sand under the footprints from the depression to a sand column rising from the ground.
The living crab like creature was lifted to the height of human knee in confusion. The little guy still didn''t understand the situation. He looked around with two eyes in an incredible state. At this point, cheese intuitively can be sure that it will not be a creature related to evil spirits, because all living creatures that have been contaminated by the existence of the outside world will not have such a natural state.But this does not mean that it has no danger. This is the base established by the offspring of worms. It can live quietly here. It and its peers must have something special. If they are really neutral creatures living here, they should be more careful. Even if they can''t help, it''s better to set up new enemies for themselves. Thinking of this, cheese reached out a little to tell Viva to stop playing with it.
Just at this time, the hermit crab finally found out that it was becoming an ornamental for four human beings. Its eyes swept over several people''s bodies, and then, of course, retracted its head and claws back into the sand, revealing only a spiral shell in the sand. It seems like it''s out of fear or shyness, but soon they find out it''s not right.
Because at their feet and not far away, a large amount of sand has been turned, and under the footprints which have been dug out for a long time, many similar creatures have been drilled out one after another, which makes the originally open sand bar more lively.
However, interestingly, although there are a lot of uplifts on the sand, only those who really get out of the ground are those who climb out of their footprints. Other hermit crabs seem to be trapped under sand grains by an invisible net, unable to break through this layer and enter the air world.
"They seem to be trapped below." Perhaps sensitive to biological movements, Lolo was quick to detect anomalies in the sand. Out of curiosity and kindness, she reached out to the nearest sand dune and released a hermit crab.
The claws of the hermit crab were so close to her fingers that if it wanted to, it would have left a scar on the dancer''s hand. But the imaginary attack didn''t happen. The hermit crab quickly climbed out of the ground after confirming that it had left the sand, leaving the passage open to other members of its kin.
"Interesting. It looks like some kind of curse that they can''t get out of the sand on their own
