Continuing to detour along the lighter quicksand area, it took Zhou Chen another half an hour to cross this area and head towards the next skeletal road sign.
The two foreign youths behind him followed closely, as if their injuries were not serious and their physical strength was relatively abundant.
The three of them continued to walk more difficultly in the yellow sand for an hour, and when their physical strength dropped a lot, the next wave of monsters appeared.
The monster that struck this time was not the desert knife worm before, but a group of small monsters that looked more like scorpions.
Each of them was the size of an adult's hand, with a pointed tail, running fast on the sand. When they rushed from the sand in the distance, the scene looked a little scary.
"I'm afraid there are not thousands of this number... I can only escape..."
For this kind of mass monster attack, Zhou Chen currently has no good way, and escape is almost the only choice.
Since the little scorpion monsters appeared from the side, he chose to run forward, so that he also hurried away when he escaped.
However, Zhou Chen ran desperately for a while and discovered that although the scorpion monsters were small in size, they were very fast. Even if he ran on this desert with all his strength, he could hardly get rid of them completely. shorten the distance.
"Persevere...I don't believe that this little monster has better endurance than humans..."
Zhou Chen thought in his heart while running at this time, he was planning to compete with the little scorpion monsters behind him to the end.
Suddenly, when he was running, he found that the seemingly normal sandy ground he was stepping on was very soft and directly caused his body to sink in.
"Oops! It's quicksand!"
In fact, Zhou Chen had always paid attention to the quicksand areas during the run, but the quicksand he stepped on this time did not look much different from the normal sandy areas, which caused him to accidentally fall in during the high-speed running.
In the process of sinking his body, he quickly took out his shield and iron rod, intending to escape with these two tools.
This is actually feasible, because he is only two meters away from the normal sandy soil area at this time, and he has not sunk too deep, as long as he supports it with a shield and pulls it with an iron rod for a few times, it will basically be able to Return to the normal sandy position.
The only problem is that the scorpion army behind is coming, and he must quickly get out of this predicament, otherwise it will be very dangerous.
Just when Zhou Chen used a shield and iron rod to pull himself out of the quicksand, he saw that the two foreign youths behind had already rushed over.
The young man in the suit saw Zhou Chen half-trapped in the sand, and was trying to figure it out, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"Friend! Don't worry! I'll help you!"
As he spoke, a wooden iron-pointed spear appeared on his right hand, and then quickly stab Zhou Chen!
Zhou Chen was not surprised to see that this person said that helping himself was actually trying to kill himself, because he had never believed in either of them.
I saw that he lifted the shield decisively and resisted the opponent's spear attack.
Seeing that Zhou Chen had blocked the sudden stabbing, the young man in the suit immediately retracted his spear to stab the ground, and quickly ran away with another foreign young man beside him.
Because the group of scorpion monsters behind them was about to catch up, they didn't have more time to deal with Zhou Chen. It would be better to leave Zhou Chen to the monsters behind to deal with it, maybe it could create some breathing time for them.
And because Zhou Chen had just lifted the shield to resist the attack, his whole body moved a little further into the quicksand, and even his body sank to his waist quickly, making it difficult to move for a while.
He looked at the scorpion group that was already approaching here, feeling a great deal of pressure.
At this critical moment, he forcibly controlled his mood, placed the shield lightly on the quicksand, and then used his full strength to lift the right leg in the quicksand so that his right leg was as close as possible to the surface of the quicksand, and then he lifted it again. Lifting his left leg and leaning forward, he made himself almost lie on the surface of quicksand.
After this step, he relied on the assistance of the shield and his own strength to crawl out of the quicksand area like a swim.
This way of getting out of quicksand was known to him when he watched popular science videos in his previous life. It worked well, but it took a long time.
When his iron rod was inserted into the normal sand near the quicksand to get up, the scorpion monster group was only two or three meters away from him.
Zhou Chen didn't panic at this moment, he quickly crawled back to the normal sandy area, then got up and fled.
While escaping, he also activated his passive corpse poison.
This time he escaped with a burst of 200% of his strength, and his speed reached an unprecedented peak. However, he was too close to the group of scorpion monsters, and he had to bypass the quicksand area, and soon bursts of thorns came from his body. Pain: The little scorpion monsters at the front have caught up with him.
At this time, Zhou Chen didn’t dare to deal with the scorpion monster who had caught up with him, because that would inevitably slow down his escape speed and let him be overwhelmed by more scorpion monsters behind him. Now he can only hope that the corpse poison on his body can Solve them.
The race against time seemed extremely long. When Zhou Chen ran sweaty and not far behind the two foreign youths in front of him, he felt a lot less stinging on his body. Turning his head, he found the group of scorpions behind him. Guai I don't know when they have fallen behind by a large amount. Some of them are still catching up, but a larger part has already penetrated into the nearby sand, and it seems that they have given up.
"This level seems to be over..."
Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and then in the next second another mass of evil spirits rose up in his chest.
"The two foreigners in front must die!"
His own iron rod suddenly appeared in his hand, rushing forward with a wolf-like aura.
At this time, the two foreign youths in the front also discovered the latter situation. They were not afraid to see Zhou Chen rushing over fiercely.
The young man in the suit directly took out his spear and prepared to attack Zhou Chen, who was approaching. His partner, who was injured in his left arm, also had a short knife in his right hand, reflecting a few rays of cold light in the desert sun.
"You are also equipped with a spear!"
Zhou Chen, who was quickly approaching them, saw that the young man in suit suddenly turned back and stabbed himself with a spear, and his steps accelerated again. When he saw his figure sway, he avoided the spear's stabbing by a few millimeters. Then, he He stretched out his left hand and grabbed the front end of the spear. With a strong pull, his right hand inserted the iron rod into the chest of the young man in the suit who had been pulled over.
But his iron rod changed its tricks halfway, and turned to the side, because another white young man with a short knife attacked at this time.
The white young man's body is more agile. He quickly backed away to avoid Zhou Chen's stick, and then immediately went around Zhou Chen's back, preparing to perform a backstab with a short knife.
