Chapter 1650: Escape From the Sandstorm
But the strange thing was that every time they were about to lose their target, the thing would stop for some reason. It wasn't until it saw a few more people that it looked frightened and continued to rush forward.
This scene made several people feel weird, but they also secretly rejoiced, and they followed closely.
It wasn't until about a stick of incense passed that a few people were surprised to find that the wind and sand in front of them were getting less and less. The scene that was originally Huang Mengmeng's sight became clearer, and they could even faintly see the sky outside. The scorching sun hanging above!
This discovery made several people overjoyed, and they hurriedly speeded up.
However, the next moment, the expressions of several people suddenly changed!
"No, that thing is trying to escape!"
Li Nanxi suddenly shouted and wanted to change direction and chase after him.
Because he found that the strange thing that brought them out did not continue to fly forward, but instead turned back to the wind and sand in the sky.
"Forget it, stop chasing us. You can't catch us. We finally got out. Be careful not to get stuck in again!"
At this time, Li Canghai's slightly helpless voice came out.
At this moment, Bai Chenjin's uncle and nephew also had expressions of pity on their faces, but they had no intention of chasing them and continued to fly forward.
"But…!"
Li Nanxi had already flown a certain distance, but after hearing this, she stopped angrily and wanted to say something with a look of reluctance.
"I know what you mean. I also want to catch that thing, but I can't help myself. Don't let the small thing cost you the big thing."
Before Li Nanxi could finish speaking, Li Canghai waved his arms to interrupt his words.
He naturally knew the importance of that thing. If he could catch it, he would no longer be afraid of being trapped in the yellow sand in this hopeless sea.
It's a pity that the thing moved too fast in the wind and sand, and he was really powerless. Unless the thing escaped from the wind and sand before, there was no chance of catching it.
"This..., well, my grandson is not thinking clearly."
Li Nanxi's face looked uncertain for a while, then finally sighed, then turned around and flew back.
Li Canghai shook his head slightly and continued to fly outside.
In the following time, the four people moved forward quickly. After a while, they successfully escaped from the yellow sand storm and returned to the calm desert.
At this moment, several people felt the joy of surviving a disaster. They raised their heads and stared at the blue sky, with smiles on their faces.
"Brother Bai, do you recognize what that thing was just now?"
After a few breaths, Li Canghai turned around and asked confusedly.
"I can't see it clearly and I didn't recognize it. It must be some kind of ferocious insect unique to this place! But I haven't seen it in the classics before!"
Bai Chenjin frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head, but there was also doubt in his eyes.
Because he had read information about the Hopeless Sea before and knew that there were indeed some insects here, but there was no introduction to the thing just now.
"Well, I've never heard of such a thing in Hopeless Sea, but Brother Bai, don't you think it's strange! That thing gives me the feeling that it's deliberately luring us out!"
Li Canghai nodded silently, and then asked with a frown.
As soon as these words came out, Bai Xifeng and Li Nanxi also looked puzzled and couldn't help but think deeply.
"This... is unlikely. In my opinion, this thing is probably mentally retarded. It only ran away out of fear before, but it understood that once it escaped from the storm, there was a possibility of being caught, so it turned back. ”
After Bai Chenjin was silent for a moment, he shook his head again and explained with slightly narrowed eyes.
"Brother Bai misunderstood me. What I meant was, haven't you noticed that it often has to wait for us when it is escaping!"
Li Canghai smiled bitterly when he heard this and hurriedly corrected himself.
"Haha, in that yellow sand, even our consciousness is blocked, how can that little thing see too far away? I think Brother Li, you are overthinking!"
This time Bai Chen smiled and explained without thinking. It was obvious that he had already considered this issue, because he could clearly see that the little guy looked frightened every time he saw them.
"Uh...! Haha, maybe I'm paranoid, but that's right. It's just a vicious insect after all. How could it save us for no reason?"
Li Canghai was startled when he heard this. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded in agreement!
At this moment, the other two people also suddenly realized.
"Okay, let's go. Now the astrolabe works again! Hurry up and find the ruins!"
Not wanting to talk nonsense, Bai Chen took out a palm-sized compass. After looking at it carefully, a smile appeared on his face. As he spoke, he followed the compass's guidance and flew toward the southwest!
"good!"
After the other three looked at each other, they also stood up and flew over there with smiles on their faces.
…………
After a while...
In another desert not far away from here, Wu Fan and Ling'er were standing side by side at this moment, with no joy or worry on their faces.
"Master, they are gone! To the southwest!"
Ling'er sensed it carefully, then turned around and said.
"Well, let's go there too! I hope they won't waste any more time."
Wu Fan nodded indifferently, and as he spoke, his body emitted light and flew away at high speed.
Ling'er didn't waste any time and turned into a white shadow and followed him.
But before he had gone far, Wu Fan felt something in his heart, and suddenly stopped and looked to the right rear.
At this moment, a crystal clear light flashed over there and flew towards this side. It was as fast as lightning and almost arrived nearby in the blink of an eye.
Then the light faded, revealing a giant scorpion-like insect with a body length of more than ten feet and a body like ice.
This insect had three pairs of wings as thin as cicada wings on its back. It looked extremely ferocious and terrifying. The hooked tail sting behind it flashed with cold light, as if it could penetrate any hard steel.
As soon as this giant insect came nearby, it rushed straight to Wu Fan.
But Wu Fan was not afraid of this. Instead, he smiled and reached out to touch the giant insect's head.
Strangely, this insect was also extremely docile, looking very enjoyable. It kept rubbing its head against Wu Fan's body and making a "hissing" sound.
"This time you have made a great contribution. There will be rewards for you in the future. Go back!"
Wu Fan touched it twice, then retracted his palm and looked at the giant insect and said with a smile.
"Hiss...!"
The giant insect seemed to understand human language. After calling twice, it flew into Wu Fan's spirit beast bag.
Yes, this insect was one of Wu Fan's four soul-eating scorpions, and it was this soul-eating scorpion that led Bai Chenjin and the other four to escape the sandstorm.
The method Wu Fan mentioned before was actually to use the soul-eating scorpion to rescue those people. After all, this insect was extremely fast and its body was unusually hard. It was not afraid of the sandstorm at all, but was like a fish in water there.
In addition, this insect and Wu Fan were in tune with each other, so they were not afraid of getting lost in it. It was easy for them to run out.
In addition, the identity of the soul-eating scorpion was a fierce insect, and it had never been revealed outside, so there was no need to worry about being discovered by others. This made it the best candidate.
"Hurry up, Master. Those people are far away!"
"Okay!"
