Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert Chapter 165

Episode 165

The next morning, the Pegasus raid team left the Magic Stone Mine.

A look of fatigue was evident on the faces of the people leaving the magic stone mine.

Most of the attack team played aimlessly as if last night was the last day on the world. The effects will appear on the day of departure.

Still, Ji-ryeong Lee didn’t say anything.

This is because I know that the moment I go out into the desert, I will be mentally armed even if I don’t want to be.

When entering the magic stone mine, there were thirty vehicles, but when leaving, the number had increased to forty.

This is because the vehicle carrying the awakened people in the western area also joined them.

The sight of as many as forty vehicles speeding through the desert at once was a spectacular sight.

As the vehicle moved, dust rose like a cloud.

Mandy also joined the vehicle in which Xeon Brielle Levin was riding.

Mandy said, sinking deeper into her chair.

“It’s good. “It was very uncomfortable to go with other people.”

The position of supervisor was a position that caused discomfort to others.

It couldn’t have been pleasant to figure out their trends and report them to city hall. Therefore, most people rejected or avoided the supervisors dispatched from city hall.

Mandy asked Xeon.

“Anyway, do you know what type of dungeon it is?”

“I don’t know either. “They said they couldn’t figure it out because it was buried deep in the sand.”

“The Pegasus raid team is also amazing. “It’s hard to detect a dungeon buried deep in the sand, but we found it.”

“Let’s see if there is an excellent detectorist.”

“that’s right. Rumor has it that the Pegasus raid team’s detectorists have excellent dungeon detection abilities.”

“Then there will be many scouting offers.”

“That’s why the Pegasus raid team also takes special care of him.”

“Do you know someone?”

“But since I’m a supervisor, I know at least some personal information.”

All raid teams in Neo Seoul must submit their personal information to City Hall.

In Neo Seoul, the personal information submitted by the raid team is classified and stored as top secret.

The supervisor was naturally entitled to view it.

“The person leading the Pegasus Exploration Team is a man named Gesling. In addition to being a detectorist, he is also a leader. Under this man, Lee Chi-u, the dungeon map maker, and O’Broy’s guardian, MacNine, the guide, form a team.”

“guardian?”

“I’m a martial artist. “It plays a role in protecting the exploration team with its outstanding combat capabilities.”

“okay.”

“Anyway, these four people are all outstanding awakeners. That’s why Lee Ji-ryeong also said that he cares about them very much.”

“I guess so.”

Zeon shook his head.

Finding a dungeon in the desert was never easy.

The probability was like finding a needle in a so-called sandy beach. It was the dungeon exploration team that dramatically increased this probability.

A raid team with an excellent exploration team had a higher chance of finding and attacking more dungeons.

Naturally, Lee Ji-ryeong had no choice but to cherish them.

Mandy, looking at the side of Zeon’s face, suddenly had this thought.

‘for a moment! Many dungeons are buried in sand. Finding such dungeons is the job of the dungeon exploration team, and this man…

is the only sand wizard in the world.

Of course, he had excellent sand control and even proved his abilities in the fight against Balrog.

Although it has just woken up and its strength has been greatly weakened, it is still a disaster-level demon beast.

A person capable of subduing such a magical beast would naturally be able to easily find a dungeon sleeping deep in the sand.

‘How many dungeons did we find and conquer?’

My curiosity was sky-high, but I couldn’t bear to ask it out loud.

It was then.

Zeon, who was looking out the window with an indifferent expression, suddenly opened his mouth.

“There is a watchman.”

“yes? What do you mean? “A watcher.”

“There’s someone hiding in the sand dunes over there, watching this procession.”

The place Zeon pointed to was an unusually high sand mountain.

At first glance, the sand mountains in the desert don’t seem that high, but in reality, many of them are over hundreds of meters high.

The sand mountain that Zeon pointed to was one of those places.

The sand mountain, hundreds of meters high, was shining golden in the sunlight.

Mandy frowned and glared, but saw nothing.

“There’s a watcher over there?”

“yes!”

“Really?”

“There are two people in all. Oh, it’s gone now.”

Those caught by Zeon’s senses disappeared.

It was clear that he had used the stealth skill or escaped this area.

If I had been a little closer, I would have been able to catch their movements as they escaped. However, the buggy was moving away at a fast speed and their movements were also stealthy, so they ended up missing the trail.

Levin asked.

“Brother, could it be him from yesterday?”

“Maybe…”

“The atmosphere has been unusual from the beginning.”

Mandy joined the conversation between the two.

“Yesterday?”

“Ah, Levin said he saw a suspicious person yesterday.”

“Are you a suspicious person?”

“It’s hard to explain in words, but they say he was a person who didn’t fit in with the mine.”

“is it so?”

Mandy frowned.

In anything, the first time is important.

If such impurities were present from the beginning, there was a high probability that more obstructions would appear in the future.

“Could it be a scavenger?”

“Maybe.”

“With such a large number of people moving around, will scavengers be targeting them?”

There are a whopping 370 awakened people and over 40 vehicles.

It was a force large enough to wipe out even a fairly large demon beast in an instant.

No matter how much the scavengers lost their heads, they would not be able to touch this level of troops.

“I guess I just went to see the season. “There’s nothing to worry too much about. The scavenger group is probably only about a dozen people.”

Scavengers were people who were strong enough to survive in a desert where not a single blade of grass grew. However, even so, it was not easy to form a large group in the desert where it was difficult to find food.

Therefore, most scavenger groups consisted of dozens to a hundred people.

It was impossible to attack the Pegasus raid with that much force. Rather, they will be annihilated in an instant before they even get close.

Zeon nodded at Mandy’s words.

“I guess so.”

“You have to go a long way, so get some rest. “I need to close my eyes too.”

Mandy sank deeper into her chair and closed her eyes.

＊＊＊

“Why did you ask to get out? “I could have looked further.”

“It didn’t feel good.”

“What does it feel like?”

“It felt like something was scanning my whole body.”

Aslan unconsciously frowned at the woman’s answer.

The people who were watching the Pegasus raid just now were Aslan and the woman.

They were watching the Pegasus raiding party from afar.

This was to determine the exact size.

But suddenly the woman grabbed Aslan by the back and retreated several kilometers.

In the meantime, he had to be dragged around like a piece of luggage.

I couldn’t formulate the words that came out naturally.

“What the fuck are you talking about? “There’s nothing.”

“I definitely felt it.”

“Oh really…”

“If you say one more word, I will rip your mouth off.”

“Huh!”

Aslan quickly closed his mouth.

As we walked together, I forgot for a moment, but the woman was an assassin.

A high-level assassin who cannot even be compared to Aslan.

This was not someone he would dare to challenge.

If you offend her, you could lose your life without even feeling it.

In fact, I have seen several people die like that.

The woman’s name is Duduyan. He was a B-class assassin.

Duduyan said.

“Let’s go back.”

“Why do we need to collect more information?”

“It doesn’t feel good. “I’ll go back and report like this.”

“okay. Shit!”

Aslan nodded as if he had no choice.

They boarded the Bactrian camels that had been prepared in advance.

The evolved Bactrian camels were the scavengers’ best means of transportation.

No matter how long it runs in the desert, it never gets tired, and the mane on its neck can detect the presence of other demon beasts like a radar and avoid danger.

Because of this situation, scavengers must ride Bactrian camels.

“let’s go!”

They rode through the desert on Bactrian camels.

The Bactrian camel headed to its destination at breakneck speed.

After a long ride, they arrived at a place where numerous tents and a herd of Bactrian camels were lined up.

Outside the tent, people were sitting in groups of twos and threes eating something.

At first glance, there were over tens of thousands of tents, and the number of people outside was several times that number.

It was surprising that even though there were so many people, there was no loud noise.

Duduyan and Aslan passed through the crowd and headed to the center of the group.

There was a fairly large oasis in the center, and a particularly large tent was pitched in front of it.

In front of the tent, like other tents, there was a bonfire burning, and unidentified meat was being cooked on top of it.

A large man was sitting in front of the bonfire, tearing at meat, and a sturdy woman was next to him, carefully slicing the meat. And children were playing noisily around them.

In some ways, it seemed peaceful.

Aslan and Duduyan approached the man.

“Leader!”

“I’m home. Urtian!”

The man raised his head at the sound of their voices.

He had a strong manly appearance. The man’s face was covered with tattoos of unknown meaning. But what was more noticeable than the tattoo was the pointy ears.

The man was not a human, but an elf.

A male elf called Urtian opened his mouth.

“You both worked hard. Let’s eat some of this together. “The sandmaw fish is amazing.”

The meat cooked on the bonfire was sand maw.

The woman who served Urtian immediately cut up the sandmaw’s meat and placed it on a plate. And handed it to the two people.

“Eat, Aslan. Duduyan.”

“thank you. “Deborah.”

“I will eat well.”

Aslan hungrily ate the meat on his plate, and Duduyan took off his robe’s hat. Then her appearance was revealed.

Exceptionally pitch-black skin, black eyes reminiscent of black crystals, and pointed ears.

She was also an elf.

However, it was much darker and blacker than a typical elf.

So her colleagues called her Dark Elf.

The two of them were also hungry, so they enjoyed the sandmaw meat.

Sandmaw was never an easy monster to catch.

It was a rare species caught only once every few years.

Urtian said as he looked at the two people eating sandmaws.

“I was lucky enough to catch it. “I gave enough to the others, so please eat to your heart’s content.”

“thank you. Urtian.”

“Anyway, how about this expedition? “I heard it’s quite large.”

“There are 40 vehicles mobilized and nearly 400 awakened people.”

The one who answered was Aslan.

“So many awakened people were mobilized? “It looks like a big dungeon was discovered somewhere, right?”

“It seems so. “Since so many people have been mobilized, there will definitely be plenty of food and supplies.”

“okay?”

Urtian looked interested.

At that time, Duduyan spoke cautiously.

“Why don’t we just skip this looting?”

“why?”

“I don’t feel good.”

“okay?”

It was then.

“It’s not possible. The limit has already been reached. “If we don’t secure food this time, there will be people who starve to death.”

Someone approached me with a counterargument.

It was a man who appeared to be in his mid to late thirties.

Unlike Urtian, he was human.

Urtian looked at him.

“Cormac!”

“Captain, we need food. Right Now.”

The man called Cormac spoke emphatically.

Urtian chuckled and looked at Duduyan.

“Did you hear? The Red Storm needs food now.”

“Urtian!”

“So tell me everything you’ve found out so far.”

The voice of Urtian, the leader of the Red Storm, a large scavenger group combining elves and humans, contained an irresistible power.
