Monarch of the Dark Nights - C231
After entering the secret realm of the Blood Tiger Hall, the first thing that entered his sight was a boundless desert. Looking around, other than the high and low dunes, there were no other colors other than yellow sand. Naturally, there were no buildings.
However, from the way that the Hall of Blood and Tiger spoke, it seemed as if the military was in the middle of a meeting. Yun Tu was unfamiliar with this secret realm, so he didn’t know which direction to go.
However, the surroundings were deathly silent. There were no dangerous creatures!
He hurriedly used his strength to move to the side, but the sand under his feet scattered and with a force from his legs, it was impossible for him to directly sink down. Normally, with a sudden jump, he would only be able to move a few meters, but this whirlpool had a radius of at least a few dozen meters, and it was still expanding, and if this continued, he wouldn’t be able to reach the range of the whirlpool!
In times of crisis, an idea struck him. He shook out a long chain in his hand and used the chain to hit the yellow sand. He could finally borrow some of the counterforce.
In a few seconds, with the aid of the chain’s counterforce, he executed a skillful action that was like a dragonfly skimming over the water. Finally, he leaped to the side, about ten meters away from the whirlpool.
Almost every time he entered the secret realm, there would be a small wave of danger, but it wouldn’t be too hard to deal with it accurately. After Yun Tu escaped from this first yellow sand vortex crisis, the flowing yellow sand within that zone would also slowly become silent again, and when he felt that the first wave of danger had finally passed, he began to move forward towards a sand dune that seemed slightly higher than a kilometer or two ahead.
Since there was no direction, he could always see further into the higher areas first. This was a conventional way of thinking!
The vast expanse of yellow sand was at least half a foot deep with a single step. Although this distance of one to two kilometers might not be far, it was still difficult to walk on. It took half an hour for Yun Tu to finally reach the sand dune.
After climbing onto the sand dune, he felt that the entire dune seemed to be slowly moving.
It was strange that the sand dune would move slowly in the desert. He did not pay much attention to it in the beginning. However, he took out his telescope to carefully study the environment of the secret realm.
The yellow sand beneath his feet moved again, and the sand dunes moved faster and faster. At this moment, it was as if he was riding on a giant sand truck, and the entire car began to shake.
This dune is strange!
As this thought rose in his mind, one dark red sand scorpion after another emerged from the loose yellow sand in the surroundings.
The head of each of them was the size of a soccer ball, and its green eyes were glowing with a phosphorescent light. Including the long stinger on its tail, its body was actually more than a meter long.
Yun Tu’s guts were not small, but when he first saw this disgusting thing, the fear in his heart involuntarily rose!
Once again, he pulled out the long chain. At this moment, more than a dozen sand scorpions appeared from nowhere. Only god knows how many more of these things were hidden within the continuously flowing yellow sand!
The iron chain swept out, smashing the heads of the two Sand Scorpions that were close by. A foul stench spread, causing him to become inexplicably manic. Immediately after, he began to chase after the sand scorpions as if he had gone mad.
The yellow sand beneath his feet was too loose. Yun Tu’s speed was not fast on the sand dunes and his killing efficiency was not high. The dozen or so sand scorpions that came out were not yet cleared, but more and more sand scorpions were coming out.
A sand scorpion crawled out from beneath his feet and launched a sneak attack at his crotch. It was almost impossible to guard against!
He quickly moved, dodging the poisonous hook under his crotch, and then used his boomerang to kill the sand scorpion. The shocked Cloud Diagram finally woke up. This was not the way to fight the sand scorpions; finding a way out of this encirclement was the right way!
It was too late to escape. There were more than a hundred of these sand scorpions in the surrounding area. They were creatures from the desert, so they could come and go as they wished, even if they were hidden in the yellow sand on the surface of the sand dune. They were much faster than Cloud Diagram.
Whether it was the surface or the sand scorpions hidden under the sand, which were constantly being overturned, the speed of Cloud Diagram’s escape from the bottom of the hill was finally somewhat increased. However, as the speed of the sand dunes increased, the number of sand scorpions also increased, densely packed together as they continued to rush towards Cloud Diagram, the pressure on him still continued to increase.
Could it be that a single mistake would cause his halberd to be broken?
He still had too many things to do. After battling bitterly for half an hour and feeling that the strength of the strengthening agent had started to decline, he was still able to avoid rushing down the strange sand dune as he had planned.
Just as Yun Tu was about to lose all hope, he suddenly saw a team of three people appear in the valley in the distance.
The mystic realm’s gate should have been opened. This group of people should have just entered the secret realm!
It was similar to the situation with Yun Tu when he entered the secret plane. Once they entered the secret plane, they encountered a yellow sand whirlpool, but the three who were prepared earlier were clearly more experienced than Yun Tu. They all wore long sled beneath their feet and easily escaped the dangerous whirlpool with the support of their balance sticks.
If Cloud Diagram also had one of those sand-sled, it would be easy to break out of the Sand Scorpions’ encirclement, but right now, the group of people were too far away. Even if Cloud Diagram yelled out, the other side wouldn’t be able to hear them, so he could only pray that the other side would look in his direction.
It was a pity that after the three of them left the danger zone, the three of them did not even look in his direction before leaving together in another direction. The glimmer of hope that had just risen in Yun Tu’s heart was extinguished.
Fortunately, since the secret realm had been opened, there was usually not just one group of people entering. His speed was restricted, and as he fought bitterly, he was also waiting for someone to come his way.
Fortunately, not long after, another group of people appeared, and their equipment was the same as the group in front of them, they were all on sled. Although they weren’t heading in the direction of the cloud map, a young man unconsciously looked in their direction and found that Yun Tu was in danger.
The young man looked in the direction of the cloud map, then looked at the map in his hands and said, “Big brother, sister-in-law, quickly look. Why is there someone who seems to have run into the scorpion dune by mistake?”
The young man’s sister-in-law also lifted her head and looked in the direction that Yun Tu pointed at!
The leader of the three, with a swing of his staff, quickly slid across the sled towards where Yun Tu was.
Perhaps the strength of this group of three was far inferior to Cloud Diagram’s, but they had maps, guides, and specialized equipment, so their speed was at least ten times faster than Cloud Diagram’s. In just a few minutes, they had reached the bottom of the moving hill.
Strangely, the trio arrived at the side of the hill. Although they were only about ten meters away from the sand scorpions, the sand scorpions did not attack them!
But right now, Yun Tu didn’t have time to think about all this. Seeing the three of them coming over, Yun Tu who was in the middle of a crisis said loudly, “Warriors, please help us out. We will definitely thank you afterwards!”
The three of them stopped at a nearby hill. The leader of the group hesitated for a moment before shouting: “Brother, you look very unfamiliar. You seem to be very strong. Which guild are you from? Tell me your name first?”
“My name is Cloud Diagram, I have only one. This is my first time entering this secret realm, so I’m not familiar with the environment. I hope that all of you can help out. I’ll definitely thank all of you after this!”
He didn’t know which guild the other party was from, and didn’t dare to randomly announce the name of the guild. If he mistakenly announced the name of the guild, then the other party would be in deep trouble. Furthermore, he didn’t dare to say that he was an outsider, so he could only pretend to be a resident of Qi County! Fortunately, the other party did not pursue the matter.
Now that the Blood Legion has been annihilated, the Qi Feng Society is calling for everyone to set up the rules once again. If you accept our rescue, this time you will have come to this secret plane in vain. If there is any danger, you have to listen to my commands.
Who would have thought that the secret realm in Qi County would have such a human-like rule? With life and death at the forefront, Yun Tu naturally loudly agreed and once again stressed that other than this, there was also a heavy reward!
After the agreement was reached, the elder brother took off the sled beneath his feet, and the younger brother picked it up. The staff instantly rushed up the moving sand dune, and as soon as it was within the range of the sand dune, the two sand scorpions quickly attacked him.
This time, the Cloud Diagram was able to clearly see that the sand scorpions might have suffered some sort of restriction that prevented them from leaving the sand dune. Only when someone accidentally bumped into them would they group up to attack.
In terms of the sand scorpion’s individual strength, it was estimated that it was only at the first level of strength. The reason why Yun Tu was unable to break out of the encirclement for a long time was because his movements were too slow from being stuck in the yellow sand and he was also surrounded by the sand scorpions so it was extremely dangerous. However, the young man was far stronger than Yun Tu, but because he was stepping on a sled, he did not sink into the yellow sand below his feet.
Yun Tu knew his intention was to deliver the sled that his big brother had taken off to him. With Yun Tu’s power, as long as he stepped on the sled, it would be easy for him to break out of the encirclement. However, the sand scorpions around Yun Tu were very dense, so when he was about 200 meters away from Yun Tu, seven to eight sand scorpions attacked the young man.
At this time, in addition to the few sand scorpions that were originally following him, he was suddenly surrounded by more than a dozen sand scorpions. With his level 2 strength, this was already the limit of what he could deal with.
“Bro, I can only help you up to this point!”
He fought back with one hand and then threw the sled in his other hand in the direction of Cloud Diagram. Then, he turned around and charged towards the foot of the sand dune!
The sled flew over a hundred meters, one end deeply embedded into the yellow sand. It landed about a hundred meters away from the Cloud Diagram. Although there was still some difficulty to rush over, there was hope.
After a few more minutes of bitter fighting, Yuntu finally arrived at the pair of sled.
There were no more surprises, and a minute later he was on the sled and out of the moving sand dune.
