He Comes From the Void

Chapter 37 Human Settlement

The quicksand on the dune squirmed for a while, and suddenly stretched out a terrifying claw.

The arm waved wildly, and the sand dunes began to flow, slowly revealing the human figure buried under the yellow sand.

There were a pair of huge shoulder pods on the back of her shoulders, and the hot sand that had been exposed to the sun transmitted heat into the skin armor, and the heat wave surged on the second skin, forcing her to stand up suddenly.

The chitin armor of the helmet was flipped back, stacked one by one, like an insect retracting its wings into its shell.

Keisha looked at the desert yellow sand in front of her, and an arm sticking out straight from the sand. She froze for a while and finally came back to her senses, reaching out to dig the sand in front of her.

The sand was dug open little by little, revealing a head wrapped in a carapace. As he saw the sun again, Kane's right hand full of desire to survive was finally let go.

"Kane Kane, are you all right?"

How could it be okay, my heart was beating wildly, my brain was buzzing, and my legs were limp. Although he has never done a roller coaster or jumped jumping, he is sure that this is definitely more exciting than those.

Kane didn't want to talk now, just shook his head.

The huge wings are pressed under the body, and there is no response after trying. It is estimated that it has been folded into eighteen sections like a crumpled paper ball. Fortunately, it grew on the skin armor, and he didn't feel the pain.

Keisha reached out to pull him up, but he shook his head and refused.

Because the wings were buried in the sand and pulled on his back, he couldn't lift himself up at all. The quicksand under his body started to flow again, it was the skin armor that was devouring and recovering the wings.

Seeing that Keisha was starting to worry about guessing, Kane also took off his helmet, expressing that he was fine with a calm expression.

"Why don't you look at the sky? Don't look at me." Kane pointed to the sky of Shurima.

Just now they were watching the sky from the well, but now that they have a panoramic view, they realize that the sky can also be like this.

At this time, the sun was still some distance away from the horizon of the desert, and the still scorching sun shone on the stratus clouds, dyeing the entire sky a bright golden color. Kesha was fascinated when she looked up.

Although Kane looked up at the sky, his attention was not there.

He was recalling the feeling of flying, and even though it was a very bad experience, he also vaguely figured out some ways in the process.

These feelings were memorized by the skin armor and shared in his brain. If he climbed to a high place now, he could guarantee a successful gliding performance.

As for flying, it is basically impossible to do it without adding some magic means.

As a human being, his back is not broad enough, his wings are too wide but his back cannot accommodate enough muscles, his strength is insufficient and his body is too heavy, which prevents him from flapping his wings and hovering like a real falcon.

And standing with the wings on his back will definitely lose his balance. Unless he can retract the wings at the moment of landing, he will not be able to land smoothly.

If the muscles are connected to the arms, the problem of insufficient strength can indeed be solved, but since the limbs cannot be free to fight, why not swallow bats and use the wing membrane to fly?

The conclusion is back to the original point - the insect's elytra would be more suitable for Kane's situation.

Kane was completely oblivious to the fact that he was ignoring a low-key but powerful ancient creature.

But having said that, this flight was completely unexpected!

Kane just let the roots throw the two of them to the surface, expecting a moderate fall, but he didn't expect to be thrown to such a high position.

He really miscalculated, panicked the moment he was grabbed by the roots, and his control over the latter weakened a lot, which led to such an accident.

If there is a next time, he must avoid such mistakes. Had it not happened to devour a sand falcon, the consequences might not have been harmless.

In order to prevent Keisha from missing today's sunset, Kane took a step forward this time, and he had no choice but to choose this method.

If the ground hernia on the well wall was allowed to make a way for them to climb up, the soft well wall would most likely collapse directly. It is precisely because these roots hold the sand layer that the well wall made of sand does not collapse.

Moreover, it is impossible to see whether there are buried roots in the sand wall. If you are unlucky when climbing, it will be bad if you encounter one of them.

As for the sudden change of position just before landing, it was a decision he made after he calmed down. At that time, he already knew that he would not die.

Kane didn't know if Kesha's shoulder pods could grow back after being broken, and the armor made him stronger. It would be better to cushion Kesha underneath.

Thinking of Kesha, Kane refocused his eyes and landed on the girl in front of him.

Skin armor will not provide her with excess nutrition, plus high-intensity exercise will burn fat, and there is no condition for accumulating fat. Keisha, who is only twelve years old, lost her baby fat early, and her face tends to mature.

She looked up, unable to see her face. The chin and neck form a beautiful and smooth arc, smoothed by the previous washing, more beautiful than the shining skyline in the distance.

Skipping through the microwave, Kane found that Keisha was sitting on his lap in a duck sitting position, holding his palm with both hands, looking very cute.

And he was buried in the sand with only his head and hands exposed. Those who didn't know thought he was on the beach instead of the desert.

The sunlight from this angle was a bit of an eyesore, and it kept slanting into his eyes to affect him, looking at Keisha shining brightly under the sun.

After recovering the wings, he immediately sat up.

Noticing the suddenly approaching face, Keisha raised an intoxicating arc at the corner of her mouth, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and then leaned forward to rest her chin on his shoulder.

She placed the weight of her heart on him, and continued to look up at the sky with peace of mind. With endless aftertaste, he was willing to use his back to shield her from the residual heat of the setting sun.

Kane swung his head slightly to look around. He found himself in the desert, but not far away was the Gobi Desert. The rock pillars formed by wind erosion stood on the ground, and occasionally the wind would make a splitting echo.

The golden one-eye in the sky began to merge into the horizon, and the golden sunset glow had turned into fiery red clouds.

Keisha still had more ideas, and proposed to go to a high place to watch the sunset.

The two climbed up the huge bare rock, and now the sun is no longer so glaring, and they can look directly at it with the naked eye.

However, while watching the sunset, they also noticed what was below the sun.

In the distance in the same direction as the setting sun, below the horizon, there is actually a large-scale village.

The architectural style of the village is very Middle Eastern. Most of the roofs are domed or pointed. The walls are thick and the windows are small to reduce the temperature difference. It's just that their walls are not white, but golden yellow like sunshine.

With their eyesight, they can see many people coming and going in the market, and the colorful roofs of the roadside stalls are very eye-catching.

Keisha only took one look and couldn't look away.

She said in a daze, "Kane, I want to go and have a look."
