Chapter 385: Chapter 264: Sandstorm! Jump into the River!

And following that voice, she turned her head and saw those dark figures one by one turning around and running back!

They jumped into the Black Water River!

What’s going on?

Suddenly, all three groups of people came to a halt!

Something’s not right!

The people ahead are...

"Yueh Xiangnan, what are you doing back here!?"

They’re even crawling, how disgraceful! Are you even soldiers anymore?

Xiao Yu’s voice was somewhat cold...

But their complexions quickly changed~

Because the completely subdued Yueh Xiangnan was now desperately waving his hands, his flashlight flickering rapidly.

He was screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Run! It’s a Sandstorm!"

Is there any mistaking what that means?

Sand plus storm!

It’s the deadly Poison Dragon of the desert!

Yueh Xiangnan and his men were swept over by the storm and quicksand!

Without any time to react, right after Yueh Xiangnan and the other soldiers collectively shouted, Sui Yi and the others could already feel the sand shifting beneath their feet...

It was flowing along the Black Water River behind them...

Only then did Sui Yi and the others realize that when they first arrived at the Black Water River, they vaguely remembered that the riverbed was much lower than the sandy slope beside it, and now...

It had turned into a massive Heavenly Pit!

The quicksand was so powerful that Gong Jiu and the others struggled to stand, if it was a small area of quicksand it would be okay, they could just jump out, but this was a large circular concave sand group, a dead end!

Whoosh!

Sui Yi violently stabbed the Demon Que into the ground, gripping the handle to stabilize his body, while Gong Jiu and the others also simultaneously drew their swords and plunged them into the ground...

But their cheeks started hurting.

"I.. ptooey, ptooey, it’s the sand..." Brother Ma was having trouble talking, as the fierce sandstorm was hitting, a lot of sand got into his mouth, causing him to cough severely in an instant, forcing him to close his mouth.

Their hair whipped wildly, and Sui Yi looked up, and amidst the cutting flow of sand, he could vaguely see the spiraling trajectory in the darkness... a line of dim yellow interspersed with moonlight color, looking quite bizarre yet astonishing.

It was the path of the sand being lifted and spun rapidly by the storm, elongated by the moonlight, with some glittering sand reflecting the moonlight, thus creating such a spectacle.

But no one was in the mood to appreciate this splendor; instead, it was utterly frightening!

"Ah!"

Several soldiers, who couldn’t secure themselves with their short military sabres, were swept away as the quicksand deepened... one after another!

"Quick! Feng Sha, hold onto the fat man! This fat man can’t be swept away~~" Brother Ma was already hugging the massive body of Han Gao, and Feng Sha immediately leaped over to help without any hesitation...

Han Gao was howling in discomfort, dammit, I’m going to be buried by sand...

The longer Sui Yi and the others held on, the closer the retreating Professor Ye and his group were pulled...

"Professor Ye!" Xiao Yu saw Professor Ye, who compared to an average old man was already much stronger, but still couldn’t compare to the young, and at that moment was being swept up by the sandstorm, looking like he might roll to the very bottom any moment.

The group holding hands, including Yueh Xiangnan, couldn’t hold onto him at all!

Whirl!

The old man was swept away...

"Grandfather!" The girl holding onto him didn’t hesitate to let go... and lunged at Professor Ye..

Meanwhile, Xiao Yu’s body suddenly sprang from the sand covering her calves...

Inner Strength!

When Sui Yi saw Xiao Yu unleash her formidable Inner Strength, he wasn’t surprised at all; hers was even more potent than Gong Jiu’s or Flower Demon’s, probably around fifty years’ worth. Now, she was exerting all her force, moving within the rolling quicksand as if skimming on water, and quickly dashing towards Professor Ye...

Whirl!

She grabbed his arm, pulling both the old man and the young girl out of the sand covering them...

Only to feel the sand underfoot suddenly twist!

"Pff, pff, no good, it’s spiral quicksand," the one who had been dug out from the sand spit it out, barely bothering with the discomfort in his mouth, clutching his throat to shout loudly.

The pulling force of the spiral quicksand...

Xiao Yu and the two she had secured were caught in its movement, on the brink of falling into the layer of sand below...

Crack!

Xiao Yu’s arm was grabbed by a slender hand, she turned sharply, and saw Sui Yi.

"Just hold on for a few more minutes and we can make it... as long as we outlast the storm," she said, causing both Professor Ye and the young girl to give her a stunned look.

And then, the storm finally hit!

Blaze, blaze, blaze~~

It was like a ferocious demon with bared fangs hiding within the terrible sandstorm, howling as it tried to swallow them...

As the sandstorm engulfed them all...

The immense suction still proved too much for everyone to bear.
