Chapter 386: Chapter 264: Sandstorm! Jump into the River!_2

And those high-speed swirling sands...

"Ah! Fuck! My face!" Flower Demon’s cry represented the intense anger of most women whose faces were being scratched!

Even more serious than if a knife had chopped off one of their necks.

"Forget about your face... staying alive... is what matters..." Brother Ma shouted intermittently...

"However many people came, that many must return, I won’t let anyone get away if they die! Absolutely do not let go..." Gong Jiu bellowed, clutching a knife in the ground alongside Flower Demon.

Apart from Gao Yi, there had been eight of them who came... there must be eight to return~~

But even so, they were being pulled up one by one by the huge vortex force...

The knives and swords stuck in the ground were being slowly pulled out...

And the cutting force generated after the sands started swirling...

Was enough to slice a person to shreds!

Doomed for certain!

At the critical moment?

Anyway, everyone heard Sui Yi say,

"Run backwards, jump into the river!"

What?

Those closest to Sui Yi, Xiao Yu and two others, didn’t react at first...

"Those people came out of the water!..." The one who added this line was Wei Feng.

He had decisively drawn his knife and turned to run swiftly toward the Black Water River, aided by the momentum of the sand.

Liang Qing and the others obeyed his command and naturally all ran toward it.

"I know they came from the water, but..." Xiao Yu frowned, then suddenly his eyes lit up: "You mean they came from an underwater entrance, not lurked in the water?"

"Yes, they turned back and jumped into the water before the storm arrived..."

Sui Yi didn’t say much, just glanced at the three, who immediately understood her meaning...

Swish!

Demon Que drawn!

Sui Yi was already moving ghost-like across the flowing sands...

And below, Gong Jiu and the others quickly followed suit.

"Ay ya ya, you guys are really..." Gao Yi yelled, helplessly following them.

"Into the water!" Xiao Yu’s decision was very decisive, Yueh Xiangnan was a bit worried: "But what if the water is poisoned?"

"Certain death or a chance in ten of living, which do you choose?"

"...."

Whir, whir, going against the current of the sand was too difficult, but going with it was too easy!

A big group of people quickly jumped into the Black Water River...

Woosh!

When the turbid and dirty black water mixed with a large amount of sand hit their faces, everyone felt nauseated, but there was no chance for complaints, as they couldn’t open their mouths...

Sui Yi was the fastest swimmer, followed by Wei Feng and the others, who were searching for the underwater entrance.

They had to find an exit before most of the following sand covered them and suffocated them, of course, they also had to consider the time for holding breath underwater, so...

Search, search, search!

Sui Yi had unleashed all her Magnetic Sensation, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, the sound of underwater bubbles trembled in her eardrums...

No, that wasn’t the sound of bubbles!

Sui Yi suddenly turned, her Demon Que flashing a light as she slashed!

Puchi!

The head of the assassin behind her flew off...

Drifting upwards...

It was just where Gong Jiu and the archaeology team were...

When the pitch-black head landed in the hands of a team member, he cradled it subconsciously and took a look!

Wuuwuu! The team member’s face twisted.

Dammit, it was too terrifying!

——————

The assassins were still underwater!

Gong Jiu and the others immediately became alert, splash, splash!

The fight began!

Underwater, some firearms could still be used, but aiming and control were too difficult, so it was mostly close combat with knives and swords!

And soon, Gong Jiu and the others realized that Sui Yi’s advantage lay not only in controlling everything like a specter in the dark night, but more so in her movements underwater...

Like a fish!

Xiao Yu watched her twist and turn, slicing with her sword and kicking and striking the assassins dead one by one. Her heart couldn’t help but be moved. She had seen others with such strength, but they always had traceable origins, whereas someone so young and with an unclear background was extremely rare.

Could it be that she was a top disciple trained by some remaining major sect?

With doubts in her mind, Xiao Yu’s actions did not slow down. Their group of soldiers had better combat abilities underwater than Gong Jiu and the others, given they had trained in all kinds of harsh environments for long periods, even squatting in septic tanks, let alone underwater!

Thus, they could hold their breaths longer, and their movements were swifter. In no time, they were entangled with the assassins in a brutal fight, with severed arms and heads aplenty...

An archaeology team member clearly couldn’t hold his breath for too long. His face turned pale, and he nearly died while struggling...

Someone next to him dragged him, uncertain of what to do at that moment.

Everyone was struggling to survive themselves...

And suddenly!

There!

Sui Yi stabbed Demon Que into someone’s heart, stood on the corpse with one foot, swung her arm upward and pointed in a direction...

Her body moved through the water like a fish!

Wei Feng, who had been paying attention to her, flashed in gaze and quickly followed!

The exit had been found!

Gong Jiu and the others also followed...

A cliff wall, a deep cave entrance. If you weren’t close up, you wouldn’t know it was an entrance...

Even less so... that it was a whirlpool.

————————

Splash!

When Sui Yi popped her head out of the water, she hadn’t even managed to wipe the water from her face before she was stunned by what she saw before her.

She could have guessed that there was an entrance beneath a river in the desert but hadn’t expected the outlet of this entrance to be atop another river, and above this river...

Blue sky, white clouds, and over the vast expanse of yellow sand, there lay an incredibly magnificent ancient city.

About a kilometer away from the river, but with clear and imposing outlines.

The vast city covered at least ten thousand acres.

As far as the eye could see, orderly yellow stone and earthen buildings with distinctive flavors were neatly placed, with the outer buildings being somewhat lower and progressively taller towards the center...

At the very center, she saw towering twin towers and ancient royal architectural buildings.

Uh... was this a combination of a desert tribe and the Central Plains nobility?

Sui Yi frowned.

And... there were people inside.

Many people. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to cast your vote for recommendation, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
