Shao Xuan ran out along the underground passage. The underground palace behind him was quickly collapsing, and the sound of falling stones was incessant. The place of collapse was getting closer and closer.
Shao Xuan pulled open the stone slab and drilled out. Suddenly sensing something, he tilted his head to the side.
An arrow shot from behind, almost brushing past Shao Xuan's hair. His longer hair was cut off by the tip of the arrow, and his ears and the side of his face were in pain from the strong wind brought by the arrow.
Bang!
The arrow shot into the sand not far from Shao Xuan. The sand on the sand exploded, and a sand-colored flower bloomed.
Without even looking back, Shao Xuan propped himself up and flipped over.
The sharp whistle-like sound rang out again. The arrow tore through the air, instantly traversing a distance of tens of meters, and shot into the place where Shao Xuan had been. The sharp arrow with a cold light almost brushed past Shao Xuan's waist and nailed into the sand, blowing up a nearly one meter deep sand pit.
He didn't even have time to catch his breath. The moment he landed, another arrow came right at him.
Shao Xuan jumped up, turned around, and pulled out his sword. With a clang, he pushed away the arrow. Instead of retreating, he dodged and rushed towards the direction of the arrow.
At this moment, Shao Xuan focused all his energy on the archer.
It was a person wearing a cloak. Her face was covered with a cloth, and her appearance couldn't be seen clearly. Her long hair was blown by the wind, and probably because of the long desert trek, it had lost its former softness and looked a lot more messy. The dust-stained cloth fluttered in the wind, and he could vaguely see a curvaceous figure. Under the cloak, there was some low-key metal armor that didn't shine as brightly.
It was a woman, and her status wasn't low. To be able to wear metal armor, she was most likely a slave owner from the three major cities.
The Archer's eyes were fixed on Shao Xuan. Although Shao Xuan was still more than 50 meters away from the Archer, he could still feel the Archer's cold gaze, just like the murderous and chilling arrowhead pointing at Shao Xuan.
The other party held a strong bow, similar to the one Shao Xuan had seen in Dao Ji's hands. He could feel the power of such a bow from the few arrows he had just fired. The difference was that the arrow shot by the other side was more threatening than the one shot by Dao Yu.
Whoosh!
Another one!
With the vibration of the bowstring, the arrow spun at high speed in the air, creating a sharp whistling sound as it rubbed against the air. Like a meteor, it shot towards Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan quickly avoided the arrows that were shot. A sand lotus bloomed on the ground, and each time the place where it exploded was very close to Shao Xuan.
Ignoring the sand that exploded and splattered in all directions, Shao Xuan locked onto the archer, including her every tiny movement and every look. He judged where the other party would shoot in the next moment, and then made a judgment to avoid the threat of the arrow.
At this moment, Shao Xuan's pupils were filled with the archer's shadow and the arrow's shadow.
Seeing that Shao Xuan was getting closer and closer, the other party didn't have many arrows in her hand. She directly threw the bow aside and pulled out a nearly four-finger-wide double-edged sword. With a flick of her wrist, she drew a beautiful arc to meet Shao Xuan.
The blade of the sword brushed against the blade, splashing a series of sparks.
The sword that stabbed towards Shao Xuan's chest was pushed away by a strong and fierce force.
Buzz —
The sound of metal vibrating was accompanied by a chill that made one's scalp feel like it was going to explode.
Bang!
The ground trembled, and the two people separated. Shao Xuan hurriedly retreated ten steps.
A giant beast ran in front of Shao Xuan. Every step it took seemed to cause the ground to tremble, and its thick hooves stepped on the ground, splashing countless sand.
It was this giant beast that had just stepped on the surface of the underground palace, and it had trampled hard. This heavyweight giant beast stood up and then stomped down hard.
The curtain of sand that had been raised was forcefully split by the biting cold blade. Shao Xuan glanced to the side.
At this time, the place where the underground palace was located had collapsed by more than half. Looking over there, there was a very obvious huge pit.
Shao Xuan looked at the person and the beast not far away. He had never seen this giant beast in Beast City, but he could see that it had been enslaved. The person who had enslaved it was the woman in the cloak next to it.
The other party's sword reflected a very dazzling light under the scorching sun, but at this moment, it was no longer attacking. Instead, it stood there quietly.
The other party was standing on a sand dune, and Shao Xuan was standing at a lower position. Therefore, when the other party looked at Shao Xuan, it was looking down.
The giant beast in front of Shao Xuan was swinging its thick hooves, as if waiting for its master's order to start trampling again. However, its goal was no longer the underground palace, but Shao Xuan, the little guy.
Shao Xuan raised his eyebrows. He heard the sound of approaching quickly, and it was still behind him.
Ga la ga la! Ga la ga la!
Behind the dune, a huge snake head emerged.
The snake turned over the sand dune and came towards Shao Xuan, but it did not get close. It stopped nearly fifty meters away from Shao Xuan.
It was this giant snake that was shaking its tail that was making a rattling sound.
However, Shao Xuan's main attention was not the huge rattlesnake that suddenly appeared, but the person standing on the snake's head.
"Shi Shu?" Shao Xuan did not expect to meet Shi Shu here.
"We meet again." Shi Shu's tone sounded like a friend that he had not seen for a long time. If it were not for the current situation, it would be easy to be regarded as a friend.
The visitor was not good. This was what Shao Xuan thought at the moment.
"Why are you here?" Shao Xuan asked.
"For a slave." Shi Shu seemed to mention it casually, very casually.
"Dao Yu?" Shao Xuan's heart moved. "Dao Yu is one of your people?"
"Not exactly."
"He's dead." Shao Xuan said.
"It's better if he's dead. I'm going to die." Shi Shu seemed to be more inclined to a dead Dao Yu. "The dead are more obedient."
After that, Shi Shu turned his head and said in a chatty tone, "However, since we meet here, you might as well come with us."
"What if I don't go?" Shao Xuan looked at Shi Shu, paying attention to the cloaked person on the other side to prevent a sudden attack.
"You refuse?" When Shi Shu said these three words, although it was a question, it carried a hint of irrefutable meaning.
Indeed, now Shao Xuan was surrounded by enemies, two slave owners and two giant beasts. The situation was indeed very bad.
Shao Xuan did not make a sound, and the other two did not speak, waiting for Shao Xuan's reply.
Suddenly, Shao Xuan smiled, breaking the deadlocked atmosphere at the moment.
"I refuse."
Shi Shu was about to speak when his eyes focused, looking at a place.
At Shao Xuan's feet, a blue creature drilled out from under the sand.
It was a beetle.
Then, there was a rustling sound —
A black beetle drilled out of the ground, as if to report, rushing out.
The yellow sand was quickly occupied by black beetles. Not only around Shao Xuan, but further away, including behind Shi Shu and the cloaked person, there were black beetles, like a black wave surging.
