In the dim yellow desert, endless sand dunes rose and fell. The air, which had been hot for the whole day, began to cool down because of the evening wind.
On the ground, a yellow sand mouse was running against the wind on the sand with its claws. Not far behind it in the sky, a Desert Eagle with a wingspan of more than two meters was also chasing against the wind.
"Squeak!"
Seeing that it was impossible to get rid of the desperate sand mouse, it suddenly saw a hole in a small sand dune in front of it.
It hurriedly rushed over and dived in without hesitation.
"Squeak!"
When the Desert Eagle in the sky saw this, it folded its wings and fell into the hole like a meteor. It called out reluctantly and stuck its head into the hole.
"Squeak!"
Just as it stuck its head in, the sand mouse's terrified scream came from inside the hole.
The black hole suddenly closed up and down, biting the Desert Eagle's head that had just popped in.
"Puff!"
“-10239！”
A damage value of over 10,000 appeared above its head. The Desert Eagle struggled fiercely, its pair of grayish-yellow wings flapping, filling the air with sand and dust, but it could not break free.
On the contrary, the small sand dune with the hole was revealed because a large amount of sand had been scraped off by its wings.
It was not a real sand dune at all, but a large desert creature that had been buried by the sand because it had been motionless for too long.
"Mutant Sand Turtle (Level 69, Solo-type Commander), Species Code: BSG- 00239, HP: 345000!"
This was a Mutant Sand Turtle that was nearly two meters tall and had a maximum diameter of more than five meters. The turtle shell on its back, which had completely blended in with the color of the desert, looked like it had been corroded by something, leaving a bumpy pit, and the end near its head had been shaved off by a sharp weapon.
However, the broken surface had been completely rubbed until it was smooth and dark, which meant that this scar had been there for a long time.
"Crack!"
The Commander-grade Sand Turtle's mouth closed, and with the amazing bite force of its bony muscles, it directly bit off the struggling Elite Desert Eagle's neck.
"Crack, crack …"
Then, he slowly chewed on it and swallowed the Desert Eagle's head, feathers and bones.
As a Commander-grade monster with high HP, high defense, but poor mobility, it usually used this method of "waiting for rabbits" to come to it in most situations to obtain food.
In this kind of evening, when all kinds of creatures roamed about, there would always be some panicked prey automatically delivered to its mouth.
However, recently, the number of creatures in the vicinity seemed to be fewer than before. It had already been half a month since it ate.
Fortunately, although it was not small, it had been in a dormant state all year round. The energy contained in this Desert Eagle was enough for it to use for at least a month and a half.
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, the Commander-grade Mutant Sand Turtle stopped eating and raised its head warily.
This was because in the middle of a sand dune not far in front of it, a bottomless black hole had suddenly appeared.
Following that, a creature about 1.5 meters tall jumped out.
It was a creature that looked like a giant flea, but it had a pair of very conspicuous, sharp, guillotine-shaped attacking organs.
Under the layer of dark reddish-brown carapace, its body was obviously full of water and even secreted mucus. It was obviously not a native creature of the desert.
However, the Commander-grade Mutant Sand Turtle had a strange feeling that it seemed to have seen this creature before.
"Hiss!"
Its long lifespan made its memory very vague, so it still could not identify the species of this creature.
However, the aura emitted by the creature did not make it feel too threatened, which meant that the creature should be inferior to it in both level and grade.
However, the speed and height of the creature when it drilled out of the black hole proved that it was a creature that it could not catch with its mobility.
Therefore, it just stared at the "giant flea" and let out a threatening roar, warning the creature to get away and not to have any ideas about its prey.
"Whoosh!"
However, contrary to its expectations, something happened.
The creature actually ignored its warning and directly used its two hind legs, which were several times stronger than its forelegs, to run and flap the carapace wings on its back, moving towards its position.
"Hiss!"
The Commander-grade Mutant Sand Turtle let out an angry roar.
An Elite-grade creature, one that was much weaker than it, actually dared to take the initiative to attack it?
If it did not do anything in such a situation, it would really be a disgrace to high-level creatures.
"Hum!"
The Commander-grade Mutant Sand Turtle lowered its head and stuck its bloodstained mouth into the sand under its body. Immediately after, it spat out a stream of high-density Earth Energy.
"Splash!"
The next moment, with its mouth as the center, the sand on the ground turned into a rolling sand wave that rushed in the direction of the running giant flea.
The further it went, the greater the fluctuation of the sand wave, and the more sand it carried.
In the blink of an eye, when it was about to come into contact with the giant flea, the sand wave had already become more than three meters tall, and it was flashing with the light of Earth Energy.
"Whoosh!"
However, the scene of the rolling sand wave engulfing the giant flea did not happen.
That was because it was a flea.
If it did not know how to jump, why would it be called a flea?
The moment before the sand wave reached its body, the running giant flea leaped straight towards the sky. This leap easily exceeded a height of more than five meters, directly avoiding the sand wave below.
When it landed, it landed right next to the Mutant Sand Turtle. Then, the structure on its head that looked like a guillotine with teeth slashed towards the head of the Mutant Sand Turtle.
"Swoosh!"
“-4039！”
On the head of the Commander-grade Mutant Sand Turtle, a wound deep enough to see the bone appeared. Blood instantly gushed out.
"Hiss!"
The Commander-grade Mutant Sand Turtle immediately turned around and tried to bite the enemy's head to death, but it missed due to the agile leap of the giant flea.
"Puff!"
On the other hand, the giant flea swung its guillotine at the chest of the headless Elite Desert Eagle in its mouth, causing its internal organs and blood to scatter all over the ground.
Then, it leaped directly towards the back of the Mutant Sand Turtle, trying to attack its biological weakness.
"Hum!"
With a roar, the shell on the back of the Commander-grade Mutant Sand Turtle flashed, and a layer of khaki-colored energy shield appeared on its body.
"Pa!"
The giant flea that had jumped onto the back of the Mutant Sand Turtle was sent flying by the counterattack ability of the special Earth Energy Shield before it could even stand firm.
"Hiss!"
The Commander-grade Mutant Sand Turtle was enraged. As a high HP defense-type creature that did not have many attacking methods, it actually did not want to fight.
After all, the food that had just been delivered to its mouth was only enough for it to survive for more than a month if it lay on the ground without moving.
Especially recently, for some unknown reason, there had been fewer and fewer low-level creatures around it.
However, since it had been provoked, it had to let the other party understand that even a turtle would bite when it was forced into a corner.
It was a Commander-grade creature, an existence that was second only to Quasi-BOSS and high-level creatures in this desert.
"Puff!"
“-5069！”
The moment the giant flea that was sent flying landed on the ground, a stone spike that was at least a foot in diameter with an extremely sharp tip shot out from the ground and pierced through the stomach of the Mutant Insect that could not avoid it, then came out from its back with a layer of green blood.
However, before the Mutant Sand Turtle could send out a second stone spike or use other means to finish off the "giant flea" —
"Pa!"
In its field of vision, it suddenly felt a black shadow enlarging.
The next moment, the Earth Energy Shield in front of it shook and let out a crisp sound of impact.
The black shadow that was attacking it was shot down by the Earth Energy Shield's rebound effect and was sent flying one meter in front of the Mutant Sand Turtle. Only then did the Mutant Sand Turtle see clearly that it was a "spike" about the size of a human thumb, about 15 centimeters long, with a green mucus at the end.
Before it could react, where did this mucus spike come from?
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …"
The Mutant Sand Turtle felt the black shadow flash continuously in its field of vision.
"Pa, pa, pa …"
The Earth Energy Shield fluctuated violently, making a sound like it was hit by a rare rainstorm in the desert. Spikes with green mucus at the end were sent flying around the Mutant Sand Turtle. In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with spikes.
It had only sent out one Earth Spike, but the opponent was so shameless as to give it a bunch of "Sky Spikes" in return!
Moreover, they were ganging up on it!
The furious Mutant Sand Turtle turned its head and found that a new, unfamiliar creature had emerged from where the black hole had been.
It was a creature that looked like the most venomous "Horned Centipedes" in the desert. It had a snake-like head, but it was covered with some keratin and had a shell with sharp edges. It was nearly four meters tall.
At that moment, this "Horned Centipede" creature was shaking its head and shooting out "Snake Spikes" from under the winged shell on both sides.
The Snake Spikes flew very quickly and hit the Mutant Sand Turtle's energy shield, making a series of loud impact sounds.
Although the Mutant Sand Turtle's Earth Energy Shield was extremely sturdy, it was still falling at a visible speed when faced with the Snake Spikes that were shooting at it nonstop.
It had once encountered a human who attacked it with a weapon that had multiple tubes. Even the metal spikes that the weapon shot out were not as powerful as the Snake Spikes that this "Horned Centipede" spat out!
"Crack!"
