Bai Ya's collapse left everyone worried and furious—not only because he was well-liked, but even more because they were terrified.
They feared that they themselves would become the next Bai Ya, falling unconscious and left to fate.
But Zhen Jin's actions made everyone understand: this Young Knight before them possessed true knightly virtues!
The sand dunes stretched endlessly, rising and falling.
Without a Stretcher, Bai Ya had to be carried on people's backs in turns.
Before long, everyone relocated to the far side of another sand dune.
Sensing the movement, the scorpion swarm burrowed out of the ground. After following the group to the new location, they burrowed back into the sand.
"After they burrow into the sand, it seems they can't directly move to another location underground," Cang Xu analyzed.
That was good news, but not good enough.
If everyone had mounts and could move fast enough, perhaps they could use this chance to shake off the scorpion swarm and escape them.
But the reality was that the group was exhausted, and their speed was utterly inferior to the scorpion swarm's. On top of that, one injured person lay unconscious, greatly slowing everyone down.
After noon had passed, before evening arrived, Zhen Jin led the team onward once again.
The scorpion swarm quickly appeared behind the group.
The Silver Gun Scorpion came charging through the crowd and once more engaged Zhen Jin in a fierce battle. After fighting for a short while, it retreated of its own accord again.
Zhen Jin watched it withdraw helplessly, with no way to stop it.
The cracks in Blade Spider Edge had widened considerably. Zhen Jin had no idea how much longer this weapon could hold out.
Without it, the situation would become dreadful. Ordinary iron swords and blades posed no threat whatsoever
