Chapter 134 The Sandstorm Arrives
Having a venomous shadow scorpion for transportation is quite convenient, as it saves them from walking as much as possible. Therefore, the direction that Su Yu was urging the people in front of her to flee was the same direction that the other five exploration team members had located.
Anyway, the poison needle's effect lasts for a relatively short time, and the people in front were busy escaping, so they didn't have time to notice anything amiss.
After passing this section of the road and the poisonous needles stopped, Su Yu and the rest of the exploration team jumped off the Shadow Scorpion and helped Su Yao's team eliminate the swarm of Shadow Scorpions.
However, the exploration team needed to hurry on their way, so they left behind a small venomous shadow scorpion and had Asa ride it back with the two wounded men.
The two sides rested briefly on the spot and roasted two venomous scorpions to fill their stomachs.
Su Yao sat in the middle of her companions, holding a scorpion shell filled with scorpion meat in her hands. Her gaze would unconsciously drift to the two people in the Ghost Market from time to time, especially to Feng Jiu.
She was almost certain that something was wrong with this guy, but she just couldn't get any information out of him. She was so frustrated that she wanted to hang him upside down and make him spill all his secrets.
Normally, if it were just a chance encounter, it wouldn't matter to her what kind of background the other person had, and she wouldn't even bother to see them. But Feng Jiu had appeared three times in such a short period of time, right under her nose, so it was no wonder she was curious.
Su Yu calmly put down the scorpion shell she had just finished eating, looked up to meet A Yao's gaze and pique her curiosity again, when a wall of people appeared in front of her.
It was that kid named Chang Zhi who sat right between him and A Yao's line of sight.
Chang Zhi smiled and said to Su Yao, "Boss, the smoke from the fire was drifting in my direction just now, it was too choking, I'm moving to another spot."
Su Yao: "...Mm."
Su Yu: ...I'm starting to have murderous thoughts.
Chang Zhi felt like he had thorns in his back. Although his back was to Su Yu, he keenly sensed that Su Yu's gaze was anything but friendly, and even dangerous.
So he became even more determined to stay in his seat and once again affirmed in his heart the effectiveness of Tong Yunqi's hit-and-run technique.
This Feng Jiu is definitely no good.
Then we absolutely cannot let the boss continue to have contact with him.
As the strategist, it was his duty to help the boss eliminate dangerous individuals.
Su Yu took a deep breath, turned around and saw that Bu Wei had also finished the scorpion meat in a few bites, so she got up to say goodbye and prepared to continue to the location of those five unlucky guys.
Strangely enough, the life tablets of these five people at the camp were all lit up, but their locations only moved for a short period after the sandstorm ended, and then remained motionless.
In the best-case scenario, they may have found a safe place to stay.
As the two were saying their goodbyes, the sky gradually darkened.
A distant, phantom-like sand dune trembled and vanished in an instant.
Upon seeing this, Bu Wei's expression changed drastically. He grabbed Su Yu's wrist with one hand and, while taking something out of his storage ring, shouted to the group of Southern Crossing disciples, "A sandstorm is coming!"
After shouting this, he immediately used his spiritual energy to activate the defensive artifact that the exploration team used in the Stormy Sand Sea, covering himself and Su Yu.
Su Yu quickly understood the situation the moment he spoke. When Bu Wei activated the defensive artifact, Su Yu used a special rope to tie the two of them together around the waist to prevent them from being separated.
However, Su Yao's team on the other side did not have these special magical artifacts, and their countermeasures were simple and crude, copying Su Yu and Bu Wei's countermeasures.
Lanmo's natal magical artifact is a long whip with excellent resilience and the ability to extend. At this moment, it serves as a rope to bind the waists of the six people.
Tong Yunqi's natal alchemy furnace reappears as a defensive magic weapon, but this time the lid is also on.
The danger level of sandstorms varies and is equally difficult to predict.
If you're lucky, you'll encounter a small storm that even a Nascent Soul cultivator can disperse; if you're unlucky, you'll encounter a giant storm that even a Body Integration stage cultivator can't disperse.
So everyone kept quiet and kept to themselves.
Including Instructor Wushi, who was crouching at a distance observing his disciples, he himself was naturally carrying a defensive magic weapon.
They had only been hiding for a short while when the sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds hung low and approached the ground, making it dark and gloomy, and the wind howled like a mournful wail. The sand dune that had disappeared was shattered in the gale and merged with it into a giant sandstorm.
Unfortunately, they encountered a massive sandstorm that even the combined energy level couldn't handle.
Su Yu silently tightened the rope again.
Buwei had already taken out a shovel and started digging in the sand, and was giving advice to the newcomers: "There are no rocks to cover us here, so let's dig deeper so we won't get swept away."
Su Yu nodded and did as instructed.
But the giant sandstorm swept in too fast and arrived in front of them in an instant. The sand, trees, and boulders it carried constantly crashed into the magical artifacts that were protecting them, making terrifying collision sounds.
The defensive artifact, which resembled a safe house, suddenly moved.
Su Yu's expression darkened slightly: "Abu, the defensive artifact has just been activated."
“I saw it,” Buwei, a veteran exploration team member, knew the power of sandstorms. His face was ashen, but he remained calm. He then took out two more specially made ropes to reinforce the connection between him and Su Yu. “We might be swept away in a moment, so it’s best not to get separated.”
The defensive artifact moved again.
To facilitate the exploration team's observation of the outside world, the defensive artifacts provided to them are transparent, like a large sphere enveloping the person.
Bu Wei frowned and looked outside, but felt more and more that something was wrong.
He found the giant sandstorm strangely familiar.
Logically speaking, it should be impossible for two sandstorms to occur exactly alike.
Su Yu asked, "What's wrong?"
Buwei said in a serious, low voice, "This sandstorm is shaped like a pen holder."
Su Yu was a little confused: "Is there a problem?"
Buwei's expression darkened further: "The projection stone that showed the situation of the first team earlier showed that the sandstorm they encountered had the same shape as this."
“This is impossible. Who could control such a massive sandstorm?” Buwei murmured.
At this moment, the defensive artifact moved again, this time with an even greater amplitude than before.
Su Yu spoke in a faint, lifeless voice: "Abu, stop thinking about it now, we're going to heaven."
"Huh?" Buwei snapped back to reality, then was swept up into the air. "Ah—"
"Holy crap—"
"Help! I'm still young, I want to live!"
"I haven't squandered my family's fortune yet—!"
At the same time, the alchemy furnace next door, which contained six disciples from the Southern Crossing, also went up into the sky. From inside came the energetic and chaotic howling of the young people, as well as the muffled thuds of their bodies rolling and crashing inside the furnace.
Su Yu emptied her mind, her eyes gradually becoming vacant, as she and Bu Wei tumbled together inside a transparent sphere-like defensive artifact. They were connected by specially made ropes, like the two ends of a double meteor hammer.
The system Xiao Qi, which had been hiding, suddenly appeared and spoke softly in his mind:
Su Yu is currently feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
Xiao Qi coughed twice, mimicking the way the character spoke in the storyline:
He said, "How could someone with his high-class image get involved in such a heaven-defying event!"
Give the comedic parts to the main characters, don't use relatives!!
