In no more than the time it took to eat half a meal, Xiao Hua's figure, having fled underground, flew out from another spot, with no trace of anything unusual on his face. Without pausing in the slightest, he shot skyward again and headed in another direction!
He searched for most of the day, yet as the sun set and a curved moon rose, Xiao Hua still failed to find the entrance to Chao Tian Que. The moonlight was ethereal, faint as smoke. The entire golden desert had withdrawn its bright luster, revealing only a dim yellow hue in the night! Yet the desert ground remained scorching hot. The sunlight absorbed during the day now slowly spread through the darkness along with that dim yellow glow; even in the pitch-black night, wisps of heat could be seen rising!
"Damn it, that fellow Tun Tian couldn't have deceived this Xiao, could he?" Xiao Hua stood in midair somewhat blankly, gazing over the endless dim yellow expanse as he frowned in thought! At that moment, a spike as thick as a fist emerged from the dusky sand, silently extending into the sky and striking toward Xiao Hua's back!
As the spike emerged, a yellow sand scorpion several hundred zhang in size appeared from within the sand! Its entire body was composed wholly of sand grains, and it made no sound whatsoever as it moved.
Seeing the enormous spike close to within barely ten zhang of Xiao Hua, it suddenly stabbed like lightning toward the center of his back. Xiao Hua abruptly turned around, his brows faintly furrowed, and sneered, "Damn thing!"
With a swing of Xiao Hua's fist, an invincible fist wind instantly sealed off dozens of zhang around him. Boom... With a deafening blast, the huge spike was blasted into powder
