Chapter 375: Chapter 259: Earth Dragon_2

There was one, and soon there was a second, a third...

Screams layered upon screams as one person after another was covered by Earth Dragons...

Gong Jiu’s hair stood on end, subconsciously feeling something was wrong underfoot. Glancing down, she saw an Earth Dragon as thick as a thumb crawling onto her leather boot...

It was about to burrow into her boot...

Gong Jiu reflexively reached for the short knife at her waist...

It was too late!

A flash of cold light!

Thud!

That Earth Dragon was flicked away by a pebble,

"Everyone, jump onto the walls! They have no bones and suck at climbing..." There were hardly any Earth Dragons near Sui Yi, partly because Demon Que’s Sword Qi was too fierce, cutting through swathes with each strike, and her speed was also too fast, leaping effortlessly among the broken walls.

Wei Feng was almost the same.

It was also because these two had killed most of the Earth Dragons...

Hearing this, Gong Jiu and the others quickly jumped onto the broken walls. Han Gao had a bit more difficulty, unlucky as he was, surrounded by higher walls with his body size...

His surroundings were already densely packed with Earth Dragons!

"Damn it! Why are they all targeting me... Just because I’m a bit fat!" Han Gao wanted to cry but had no tears, his expression turning somewhat fierce amidst the crisis of death...

All living creatures rarely resist fire, and the Fire Guns on Han Gao and the others’ waists were immensely powerful, yet they could only disperse a part of the Earth Dragons around them.

All of a sudden, his arm was yanked fiercely... His hefty body of nearly a hundred and eighty or ninety pounds was flung onto the wall. On the other side, he watched as Sui Yi cut swathes through the air with her knife...

A three-meter-wide arc of Sword Qi sliced out...

Whoosh!

A swath of Earth Dragons was cleanly swept into pieces, their remnants falling five or six meters away.

Han Gao exclaimed, "Cool!! Miss Sui, you’re my goddess!"

"Let’s go!" Sui Yi paid no mind to the fat man’s adoration, instead dragging his colossal body, moving nimbly atop the broken walls...

Before long, the entire group had leaped out of the building complex. As those Earth Dragons crowded and crawled out of the buildings, they saw herds of camels pacing restlessly in fright...

Feng Sha and his companions were struggling to control these camels...

"Quick, get over here! We can barely hold these camels anymore..."

Originally heading towards Feng Sha, Sui Yi and the others changed their expressions in unison! Brother Ma cursed, "What the hell, stop pulling, forget the camels! Look at those damn ants behind us!!"

Ants!

Feng Sha and the others glanced back and saw a large white cloth covering more than twenty square meters on the Huang Sha about ten meters away...

"No wonder these camels seemed possessed!"

The camels were too slow; they couldn’t outrun the Acacia Ants and Earth Dragons and would be caught and devoured alive within minutes.

The group hastily abandoned the camels and ran for their lives...

A frantic escape!

But where to flee?

"Obviously, we run back!" Gao Yi had barely spoken when Han Gao covered his mouth...

"That way!"

Sui Yi led the direction! Based on individual strength and the map’s location, there were no objections...

In the midst of their mad sprint, Wei Feng glanced at Sui Yi, "Is this how the map was drawn?"

"No"

"Then you..."

"The direction opposite the walls and the direction they’re trying to drive us away from are not the same..."

The direction they faced as they stood against the wall was consistent with the direction they were supposed to guard.

So, the true secret location is inside!

Wei Feng narrowed his eyes and took a long look at Sui Yi, "It seems that bringing you along was indeed a very wise choice.

"Bringing along?"

"Alright, I mean cooperating."

Sui Yi stopped talking; the Earth Dragon and the Acacia Ant pursued fiercely behind them. Fortunately, their group was physically fit, and they could run fast. Even Han Gao, who was usually the slowest, managed to burst into a sprint when fleeing for his life.

As they ran and ran, the wind and sand enveloped them, and the sky began to darken...

Given the subsequent reappearance of the Acacia Ant’s horror, they really didn’t dare to stop easily until evening arrived...

A lake of no small size appeared before everyone, and the sight of it shocked them all.

Had they actually stumbled upon an oasis?

Well, it seemed not to be an oasis.

The lake was entirely black, profoundly so.

"That’s Black Water River!"

"It’s the River of the Heavens... the River of the Abyss of Death."

Gao Yi suddenly raised his hands and cried out, then, under the intense gaze of Gong Jiu and others, he brought his legs together and knelt respectfully, his hands scooping up a handful of Huang Sha sand, palms pressed together, bowing with arms outstretched...

He continued to bow several times until the sand had slipped through his fingers.

"Feels like performing a shamanic dance," murmured Han Gao and the others inwardly.

However, now that they had arrived here, it seemed the destination...

Gong Jiu and others’ eyes flickered. After exchanging silent glances with Sui Yi, they all looked at Wei Feng and his companions.

They had a map, but clearly, they knew nothing about the secrets behind it.

At least, they had no idea what was actually at the end of this secret location...

Wei Feng definitely knew!

"Can’t run any longer... Let’s take a break," Wei Feng halted, turning his head to look at the ragged group behind him.

Running themselves ragged meant if danger emerged again, they might actually be done for.

Moreover, they were already at the River of the Heavens. In Gao Yi’s words, they had almost reached the Abyss of Death.

Of course, they had to adjust their condition...

And...

Wei Feng locked eyes with Sui Yi.

Then subtly averted his gaze.

In the chaos of their hasty escape, it was uncertain what their losses were, but now it was time to count heads...

"There are still fifteen left," said Liang Qing indifferently.

Fifteen, meaning nine people were dead.

In contrast, not far away Gong Jiu declared heartily, "We actually didn’t lose a single person! What luck!"

This was an inside joke—

Wu Gu and others had grim expressions on their faces.

Liang Qing, as always, was expressionless, and Xiao was as impassive as ever...

The only one with a smile was Wei Feng. He gently wiped his Fire Gun with a handkerchief, slowly saying, "It seems having more people isn’t necessarily a good thing. If you’re going to bring someone, bring the elite... It’s just as well the deadweight is gone."

At these words, Sui Yi’s brows lifted, and she glanced at Wei Feng.

Just then, Wei Feng also looked over with a smile and asked, "Miss Sui, would you like to take a bath?"

With just that one sentence, he shattered the somber post-disaster atmosphere they had created. (To be continued.
