"died."

Adhering to the principle of a beginning and an end, now that they have arrived, I can only arrange to send them off as soon as possible.

Princess Luoli's pale and thin lips trembled slightly, looking at the corpses of lizard warriors on the ground outside, and she was speechless for a long time.

"What just happened?" The master didn't respond. The doll was quite talkative.

"The lizard man came, and then fell down again." I described it truthfully, and for the sake of vividness, I also waved my hands.

It explains the simple and carefree and wonderful moments of those lizard people's lives.

"That's it. With a whoosh, he suddenly emerged from the sand, jumped up, and then with a thud, when he landed, for some reason, his head landed first, and he died."

"So why did it hit the ground head first?" The little doll was still asking the question as if it were breaking a casserole. No matter what, it wanted to find a reasonable answer for its still dazed owner.

Having said that, is she too into the drama or is she schizophrenic? I'm a little confused.

"Well..." I pondered for a moment and carefully mentioned a possibility.

"Perhaps they hid in the sand for too long and accidentally suffered from heatstroke?"

"What kind of answer is that?"

"Why not? You see, the sand is not breathable. It's hard to hide in it. And the sun is so big, it must be very hot, stuffy and hot. It's easy to get heatstroke, isn't it? And suddenly you have to do such a high jump.

As soon as he got up, his blood pressure soared instantly, his eyes went black, he fell to the ground, and died on the spot."

I spoke plausibly, but the more I spoke, the more I felt that this was the case. I almost believed it myself, and even got emotional. My eyes couldn't help but fill up, and my voice became choked with sobs.

"In order to rob this business, they have sacrificed too much. Taiji is very dedicated."

"Ji~~~~~~~"

I received a silent stare from both of them. It was obvious that they were not stupid and did not believe my lies. Why is it becoming more and more difficult to fool children nowadays, not only children, but also dolls.

So I turned around and started communicating with Tia.

[Little girl, your daily reserve of dry desert food seems to include something like lizard drying? 】

[Yes, Fanfan, do you want to try it? Although it is a bit hard when you first bite it, the more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes. 】

[No, I mean, these lizard warriors...]

【don't want!】

【They are all lizards anyway.】

【don't want!】

【It’s a waste if you don’t dry it anyway.】

【don't want!】

After receiving three consecutive denials from the Dark Continent version of Mr. Bei, I gave up completely. Speaking of which, is there a race of lizardmen in reality? I haven’t seen or heard of it in all the years I’ve been here. I’ll ask Kai later.

Well go.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong..." When he came back to his senses, he found that Princess Luoli was back to normal. She lowered her head and was thinking about something. The little doll twitched intermittently and kept mumbling.

"What's wrong?"

"Athena thinks there is a traitor in the team."

"What? Are you a traitor?!" I was shocked.

"Why does Mr. Monkey insist that I am a traitor?" The little puppet was unhappy.

"First of all, it's not me, and secondly, it's impossible for Athena. By elimination, it can only be you."

"Mr. Monkey completely misunderstood what Athena meant. Athena wanted to say that someone in the team who shouldn't have appeared."

"I think so. You are already tired and it's time to take a good rest."

"Why can you always pretend to be nonchalant and mercilessly frame your own crimes on others?"

"No, why shouldn't I show up? Haven't I already assumed the role of the dark barbarian uncle? It's not good for you to always go back on your word, right?"

"We just went out for an adventure, right?" the little doll asked, somewhat unanswered.

"Yes."

"The team that just went on an adventure should be a novice team, a rookie team that grows up step by step during the journey. Generally speaking, this is the setting, right."

"Almost, ninety-nine percent of knights cannot do without this upgrade routine."

"So Mr. Monkey doesn't look like a newbie."

Speaking of this, I understood what the other party meant. She disliked me, a player who inherited the level and equipment in the second round, and killed her fun of adventure.

"I am indeed not a newbie. I have been wandering for many years before coming to Horadric. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am a veteran. There is really no way to pretend that I am a novice, but!"

After thinking about it, as a senior two-spined ape, I immediately thought of a good excuse.

“According to the setting of , isn’t there always an experienced guide next to the novice at the beginning?”

That's right, this is Wu Fankakashi, also known as the repeater.

"Is that the kind of supporting character who will most likely be killed by the plot after losing use value?" The little puppet clapped his hands and realized.

"..."

Look, is this human language? Although it is absolutely correct.

"Besides, without me as a veteran, how can you deal with those enemies just now by yourself?"

"The artifact...has certain attack capabilities."

After hesitating for a moment, Athena responded hesitantly. Although she had magical talent that no one could match, she couldn't display it because it was too much. It was like having endless wealth but not being able to spend a penny, let alone having any money.

How uncomfortable it is.

Unless she had the idea of ​​dying together, in exchange for the dazzling fireworks, maybe even I would have to deal with it with a headache.

"In any case, artifacts are dead objects. After all, they cannot replace teammates. They will be in crisis soon."

"..."

The other party remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"It seems that other teammates will be arranged as soon as possible." For a long time, the little puppet muttered to himself.

That would be best, I would be happy and free.

"Mr. Monkey must also make arrangements as soon as possible."

Hey hey, what program are you going to arrange for me?!

"Anyway, the first two waves of enemies are arranged to allow new adventurers to adapt to the battle. The next ones will not be so simple, they will become officially powerful enemies."

Are you still coming?!!!

"No one can harass travelers who walk on the desert all year round. They are just like monsters and warcraft. Although they are terrible, many more people die under the stings of bees every year than at their hands.

, their reputation is not obvious, even children will not feel scared after hearing it, but half of the people who die in the desert every year are related to them."

It was still the eerie tone of telling a ghost story for each person. After a pause, and realizing that the atmosphere was in place, the little puppet said quietly in an erratic and strange voice.

"They are...the sandworm army!"

As soon as the words fell, the endless golden sand dunes were covered by a carpet of squirming sandworms. They were large and small, densely packed, and layered on top of each other. It was like a white terror. I'm afraid hundreds of thousands of sandworms appeared out of thin air.

At our feet.

The next second, all the sandworms raised their upper bodies and roared to the sky, and then with a puff, dark green venom mixed with ink-colored intestines and intestines spurted out from their mouths. The spray was called a Qisheng Wen

The champion and staff general kept spraying and spraying, and the round body of the sandworm shriveled up until it turned into a thick skin.

[Fanfan, hurry up, don’t waste it, pick up the sandworm. 】

Under the urging of little girl Dia, I reluctantly picked up hundreds of sandworms and dealt with them on the spot.

[First cut open the stomach, turn the whole inside out, clean the internal organs, and be sure not to rupture the gallbladder, otherwise you will not be able to eat. Oh, you just vomited everything? That is really great. The next step is

Wash, at least ten times, but be careful not to rub off the layer of fat connected to the skin, that is the essence, the fragrant oil secreted after drying...]

The little doll and Princess Luoli watched in amazement as I processed the sandworm corpses one after another. I washed the pia and threw it on the roof of the tent to dry. I washed another pia and continued to dry it. In the blink of an eye, it was clear that

After passing the translucent tent, I raised my head and saw the corpses of sandworms covering half of the roof. The pairs of white eyes refracted the sunlight through the tent, casting a strange and colorful light.

It feels a bit like the laser lights in a disco.

"Something's wrong...something's wrong..."

After I had disposed of the sandworm corpses and the entire roof was covered with sandworm corpses, those pairs of sandworm eyes seemed to be staring deeply at me no matter where I stood, not to mention how festive and energetic they were.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the little doll and Princess Luoli were autistic together, squatting in the corner, mumbling something.

"What...what happened?" The situation was so weird that I couldn't understand it at the moment.

"Wait and see, next time, next time, Mr. Monkey will never let Mr. Monkey succeed easily." The little doll turned around and shouted to me with a little tear in his eyes, as if he had been wronged a lot.
To be continued...
