Chapter 355: City in the Desert

Everyone rushed to dig at her location and indeed found a stone slab with patterns carved into it beneath the sand. It was hard to tell what it was made of, but it seemed very similar to the marble on the Red Dragon Queen's dome.

"As expected of the Queen's child!" Sect Leader Feng exclaimed excitedly, "Your sense of smell is much more sensitive than ours!"

"Why are you still saying this at this time!" Shu Yu shouted.

"What should we do next?" Xia Wanqing asked.

She hit the stone slab with her dragon scale dagger, but the stone slab did not move at all. She didn't know what material it was made of, but it didn't leave even a scratch.

The sound of the dragon is getting closer!

Xiao Yu smashed the stone slab with the Cangyun Sword, and it made a loud rumbling sound and began to crack. Everyone immediately felt hopeful.

However, Shu Yu lay on the stone slab and said, "No, the ground underneath is too thick. It won't be split open in a short time!"

"It shouldn't be brute force." Xu Chuchu dug away the remaining fine sand on the ground and kept groping.

"Here!" she cried suddenly. "There's a groove here, a shape, a shape..."

The shape is like that piece of jade!

Looking more closely, there are indeed five indentations of different sizes in the groove.

"Embed the jade in!" Master Feng shouted.

"The jade was eaten!" Xu Chuchu shouted.

The dragons are already in the sky, and they are black dragons, forming a huge mass!

"This kid is so disobedient!" Xiao Yu stared at Wu Wu.

Wu Wu was suddenly scolded, and he made two aggrieved "woohoo" sounds. His stomach rumbled and he opened his little mouth, and actually spat out the jade piece, which hit Xiao Yu directly!

"Hurry up, Xiao Yu!" everyone called him.

Xiao Yu picked up the jade and his hands were covered with mucus, not sure if it was saliva or gastric juice. He didn't bother to wipe it off and quickly pressed the jade into the stone slab!

The black dragon swooped down, its wide-open mouth already touching the tops of their heads—

The stone slab cracked with a "bang", revealing an unfathomable hole.

The people, the dragon, and the yellow sand piled up nearby all sank into it.

Then it quickly closed, blocking the dragons outside.

They fell rapidly in the space under the stone slab, followed by endless yellow sand.

Xu Chuchu wanted to change the position of her body immediately, but failed.

In the darkness, a strong arm pulled Xu Chuchu into a familiar embrace.

Xiao Yu protected her under him and quickly released his spiritual power to protect everyone.

Immediately afterwards, the overwhelming yellow sand submerged everything, leaving no chance for anyone to defend themselves.

No one could tell how long they had been falling. The only thing they could think of was that, so deep underground, with such thick sand, even a god would never be able to escape.

…

"Cough, cough!" Xu Chuchu suddenly raised his head from the sand pile and coughed painfully.

Just like a long nightmare, she finally struggled to wake up from the dream and return to reality.

She immediately looked around and found that she was back in the desert. There was nothing around her but yellow sand.

It’s still the scorching sun and the endless sandstorms... The only thing that has changed is that the Black Water River has disappeared.

What about the others? Where's Xiao Yu? Where's her Wu Wu?

Xu Chuchu quickly buried his hands in the sand, used his spiritual power to sense the movements nearby, then rushed to a place a few steps to the west, dug up the sand, and dragged out a person, who was Xiao Yu.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu!" She found that Xiao Yu's heartbeat was normal, but he had no breath, so she quickly sent him some spiritual power.

After just a few seconds of infusion, Xiao Yu woke up with a cough, just like her, looked around, and immediately grabbed her hand.

"I remember I hugged you. Are you hurt?" He asked casually, looking her up and down.

Xu Chuchu then remembered that when the sand fell, Xiao Yu held her in his arms and even forced himself to stand up, leaving her a breathing space under the yellow sand...

That's why she is the first one to wake up now.

"I'm fine." Xu Chuchu only had time to say one sentence, and didn't even have time to look at him for a few more seconds, before she continued to look for other people with Xiao Yu.

Now time is life.

The distance between them was not far, and they dug out Xia Wanqing, Sect Leader Feng and Shu Yu one after another.

The two dragons recovered quickly, but Xia Wanqing took a long time to regain consciousness.

They finally dug out Wuwu.

Maybe because of its small size, Wuwu was buried quite deep, with its head down and feet up, its eyes rolled back, and its tongue hanging out.

This scene scared Xu Chuchu, who thought she had failed to protect her baby.

Fortunately, after checking, Wuwu was found to be in good condition, even better than everyone else. He quickly regained consciousness and was full of life again. He was indeed the Queen's child.

"Thankfully, everyone is alright." Xu Chuchu looked around, puzzled. "I don't know where this place is. We clearly fell into a black hole under the stone slab, so how did we end up back in the desert?"

Could it be that the space under the stone slab is also U-shaped? Even if it is, sand is not water, so it is impossible to blow them up from the other end.

Xiao Yu looked around and shook his head. "There's only yellow sand underground, nothing else."

"There seems to be something over there!" Shu Yu suddenly pointed to the south.

His eyes narrowed, and his dragon eyes could see very far away.

"What is it?" Xu Chuchu asked hurriedly.

"Like, a mountain, or..." He paused, surprised, "A city! It's a city!"

Everyone was excited after hearing this. According to the queen's suggestion, they had to find a city in the desert and then find a person in the city. Now they finally had a clue!

Shu Yu and Sect Leader Feng simply transformed into dragons and flew towards the city carrying the others.

It doesn’t matter if the wind and sand are strong, the important thing is to get to the destination quickly.

The two dragons went up against the wind and sand. Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu set up a layer of protection for their dragon eyes to prevent the wind and sand from flying into their eyes.

They flapped their wings and flew with all their might, and saw the city getting closer and closer.

They could clearly see the city walls, the city gates, and even the flagpoles on the city gates... and then they could no longer get close!

They didn't know when it started, but the size of the city they saw had never changed.

It was clearly flying in a straight line towards the city, but it seemed to be circling around it and could not get any closer.

"It's no use, come down." Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, "We need to walk forward."

Although they were unwilling, everyone knew that Xiao Yu was right.

This is a common method used by high-level physiognomists to protect a treasure or a place. Outsiders cannot approach through spiritual power or external magic tools, and can only rely on their own strength.

That is, the legs.

Of course, if the visitor's cultivation is far superior to that of the defender, it can be easily cracked.

But this city is obviously not as simple as they imagined.
