Chen Qiansong, accompanied by three Grandmaster, relentlessly pursued the direction in which Liu Yihang and Wang Dali's auras had vanished.
However, the more the four pursued, the more desolate the place became.
However, they wouldn't give up so easily. This was a great opportunity to show off in front of the commander, and they wouldn't let it slip by so easily.
Liu Yihang and Wang Dali, who were not far from them, were exchanging telepathic messages as they fled.
"Patriarch Liu Family, if we go any further, we'll be entering the desert. Should we continue?" Wang Dali asked.
"Not continue? What other options do we have? We can only use the desert terrain to shake them off. If they catch up, we'll all die," Liu Yihang said helplessly.
Wang Dali sighed silently. In fact, he hadn't wanted to come to help before, but since the alliance had been formed, it would be morally wrong for him not to come.
Moreover, he still harbored a sliver of hope that someone would step in to restrain Lu Tianheng, and then they could help Ji Qiang stall for time.
At the very least, he believed that if he wanted to escape, he shouldn't have any problem.
As it turned out, Lu Tianheng had no sense of martial ethics at all. Not only did he come to pursue them personally, but he also brought so many people to ambush them.
Fortunately, Ji Qiang acted decisively and led them to escape first, which allowed them to get here.
But the journey ahead is extremely dangerous, because in the desert, the greatest enemies are not people, but the natural environment and Exotic Beast.
Leaving aside the natural dangers hidden in the desert, the Exotic Beast lurking there are not to be trifled with either; these Exotic Beasts are unlike Exotic Beast in the forest.
The most abundant species in the desert is the Sand Devouring Serpent, which is the largest group of snakes living in the desert. This snake not only contains highly venomous snakes, but also moves extremely fast in the sand. Most importantly, it also has wings on its back.
If you are bitten by it, it is almost certainly a matter of life and death, because there is no antidote for its poison.
It could be said that this snake is the soul-summoning messenger for all warriors who dare to enter the desert.
However, in order to escape the pursuit, Liu Yihang and Wang Dali had no choice but to take the risk.
After all, if they hadn't escaped, they probably wouldn't have had a good ending either.
They didn't know whether Ji Qiang and Ji Xingfeng had escaped Lu Tianheng's pursuit.
However, they are currently preoccupied with their own problems, so they don't have the time or inclination to worry about these things.
"Patriarch Wang Family, we've been forced into this situation, so let's pray for the best! Hopefully, we can still get out of here," Liu Yihang sighed helplessly to Wang Dali.
Wang Dali nodded without saying anything more, after all, the fate of those going there was unknown.
Afterwards, Liu Yihang and Wang Dali resolutely walked out of the forest and stepped into the desert together.
The edge of this desert meets this vast forest, creating two distinct shades of yellow and green.
The view from the air is quite impressive. If Confucian scholars and those in their Calligraphy Studio saw it, they would probably be inspired to compose a poem.
However, Liu Yihang and Wang Dali were not in a very good mood.
They encountered Sand Devouring Serpent only after entering the desert for about thirty miles.
Then, the two activated their energy shields and began fighting the Sand Devouring Serpent.
Liu Yihang took out his short gun, which transformed into a long spear with a flick of his wrist. With a casual swing, he sliced a Sand Devouring Serpent in two.
Wang Dali drew his broadsword from his waist and slashed forward, leaving a huge gash that cut the three Sand Devouring Serpent in two.
When Chen Qiansong and the other three sensed the energy fluctuations coming from ahead, they were overjoyed. They hadn't expected that Liu Yihang and Wang Dali, whom they had been unable to catch up with, would be blocked.
Although they didn't know whether the two people fighting were Exotic Beast or humans, judging from the fluctuations in their spiritual energy, they must be in considerable trouble.
The four of them were completely unaware of the changing scenery beneath their feet as they plunged headlong into the desert.
The four had only been in the desert for a short time, when they were at least ten miles away from the two ahead of them, when they were attacked by Sand Devouring Serpent.
Faced with the attack of the Sand Devouring Serpent, Chen Qiansong was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why there would be Sand Devouring Serpent here.
Liu Changxing, who had come with them, immediately shouted, "Everyone be careful, this is Sand Devouring Serpent!" After shouting, he immediately activated his Yuan Qi shield and attacked the Sand Devouring Serpent.
The remaining He Chu and Jiang Congyue also reacted quickly, immediately activating their Yuan Qi shields and retreating into the forest while attacking the Sand Devouring Serpent.
Because they knew that fighting the Sand Devouring Serpent in the desert was like using their own weaknesses to attack the other's strengths.
You should know that these Sand Devouring Serpent are like fish in water when they swim in this desert, and their attack power can be greatly increased.
The four fought and retreated, heading towards the edge of the forest.
Fortunately, the four of them hadn't gone too deep into the desert, and soon they were almost at the edge of the forest.
The Sand Devouring Serpent seemed to be in a panic, launching continuous suicidal attacks.
"Watch out!" Chen Qiansong shouted.
A Sand Devouring Serpent pierced through the attack barrier and bit He Chu's left arm.
He Chu was quite decisive; he simply swung his weapon and chopped off his left hand.
The Sand Devouring Serpent flew over, biting He Chu's left arm, and began to bite it. In no time, it had completely devoured He Chu's left arm.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a scream came from Liu Changxing's mouth. It turned out that another Sand Devouring Serpent had bitten his right leg.
This time, Liu Changxing wasn't so decisive. After all, losing an arm is a big difference from losing a leg.
However, Chen Qiansong, who was standing nearby, helped him by cutting off his right foot and then carrying him into the forest.
The remaining three also followed into the forest.
However, don't assume you're safe once you enter the forest; the Sand Devouring Serpent continue their pursuit.
However, in the forest, the speed of the Sand Devouring Serpent was not much of an advantage as they fled at full speed.
After chasing for a while, the Sand Devouring Serpent realized they couldn't catch up and retreated from the forest like a tide.
Chen Qiansong and his three companions fled far into the depths of the forest before finally stopping, panting heavily. They never imagined that their pursuit of just two people would result in the injury of two others without catching them at all.
Chen Qiansong looked at the four men, noticing He Chu missing an arm and Liu Changxing missing a leg. He wondered how he would explain this to the commander when they returned.
However, judging from the attack on the four of them, Liu Yihang and Wang Dali must have also encountered Sand Devouring Serpent. The four of them alone could not withstand the attack of the Sand Devouring Serpent.
It is estimated that they will also perish in the snake's mouth.
