Gongjia Ren's eyelids twitched as he stared at the beast that was much taller than him. He felt a chill run down his spine and into his brain.
A large crater had appeared in the sand that had exploded in front of him. The flying sand blurred his vision, and sand fell from all directions like a torrential rain. The beast had appeared too quickly for him to dodge. All he could do was crouch down, not daring to move. He hoped the beast would focus on the sand lizards. As soon as it shifted its gaze away, he would immediately burrow into the sand and play dead!
Although he did not know if playing dead would work against a beast like this, he had no other choice. He did not have the energy to run, let alone escape. The sand lizards were flipped over by the giant worm. All five sand lizards ran for their lives as if they had seen their natural predator. The few of them were no match for the worm.
The rest were no better off than Gongjia Ren. Earlier, they thought Gongjia Ren's domineering aura had scared the five sand lizards away. They did not expect an even more powerful one to jump out of nowhere. Their faces paled even further as they tried to control their breathing, afraid that they would attract the giant worm's attention. They dared not wipe away the sand that flew into their eyes. They could only blink hard and crouch down to reduce their presence. Their eyes were focused on the movements of the giant worm, thinking about what to do next.
There were five Sand Lizards just now. Even if each of them faced one, the one with more wouldn't have a chance to escape because the Sand Lizards had enough time to finish off the others and chase after the remaining one. Now, a big worm had scared the Sand Lizards away. Although it looked very powerful, there were six of them. Would there be a chance for some of them to escape? Even if they could escape, would they have the energy to do so?
They looked at each other, understanding each other's intentions.
When the giant worm suddenly chased after one of the sand lizards, they immediately crouched down and dug a hole in the sand to bury themselves.
This method was effective against some beasts in the desert, but it was completely useless against others. They didn't know if the big bug would discover them, but they could only do this. They didn't have the strength to run. If the cover of the sand didn't work, they could only accept their fate and wait for death.
They could hear booming sounds coming from the sand, as if wooden stakes were smashing down. An invisible pressure filled the surroundings, and the originally difficult breathing became even more careful.
After the whooshing sound of something breaking through the air, another boom sounded on the sandy ground. The strong wind blew a large amount of sand, and the feeling of it falling on one's body was like dense rain. They didn't dare to look up. They could only rely on their hearing to determine what was happening outside the sand.
The big bug was hunting the sand lizards. Just now, it sounded four times in different directions. Did it mean that the four-legged sand lizards had been killed?
With the sudden collapse, he could even feel the sand covering his body becoming heavier and heavier, making it harder for him to breathe.
The sand was still shaking. Although it was far from them, this distance was not enough to get them out of danger. Every time they took a careful breath in the sand, they felt as if their throats and lungs were being ground by the sand. It was extremely uncomfortable. The scorching sand on their backs felt as if it was going to cook their entire backs. They did not dare to use their strength to resist, so they could only endure it.
Just as they were counting the sounds and anticipating that the big bug would chase after the sand lizards, they suddenly realised that not only was the sound not moving further away, it was actually getting closer!
Now, their slightly relieved hearts were in their throats again.
Especially Gongjia Ren. He could tell that the sound was coming towards him. There were two sounds, one in front and one behind. The one in front was probably the sand lizard, and the one behind must be the big bug.
Motherf * cker, why is the sand lizard coming this way?!
Gongjia Ren cursed the sand lizard in his heart a few times but could not change its direction.
Boom!
There was another explosion of sand, stirring up a strong gust of wind with the roar of a desert beast. The sand and dust on the ground flew in all directions like blooming flowers. Gongjia Ren, who was closest to the explosion, was not spared even though he was sprawled on the ground. The wind and sand came crashing towards him like a violent gust of wind. Gongjia Ren felt like someone had punched him in the back. He couldn't help letting out a muffled groan as his body was flung high into the air by the force of the impact. Then, he crashed to the ground. However, the noise was muffled by the giant worm's pursuit of the sand lizard so no one knew what happened to Gongjia Ren.
Gongjia Ren felt his stomach churn. He almost vomited out the little bit of blood and meat he had eaten earlier. His body, which had not recovered, was now in a worse state. It was difficult for him to even stand now. He wanted to bury himself again as soon as possible but his arms felt like they were chained to a boulder. It was difficult to even move, even the sound of bones cracking could be heard.
In Gongjia Ren's blurry vision, he saw the blue figure with its two scythe-like forelimbs nailed to the sand lizard's body. The sound of sharp weapons slicing through hard armour and flesh rang clearly in Gongjia Ren's ears.
Everything finally came to a stop.
The flying sand landed on the sand with a soft thud, then gradually quieted down. The atmosphere was still tense.
Crunch crunch crunch. It was the sound of sand being kicked up by the big bug as it walked across the sand.
The danger had yet to pass. The people in hiding continued to hide, not daring to come out. They did not even dare to lift their heads.
However, Gongjia Ren was having a hard time. He saw the big bug walking towards him with a sand lizard nailed to one of its forelimbs.
Am I going to die?
Gongjia Ren's consciousness began to blur as he watched the big bug approach. However, he was much calmer than before. Perhaps he knew he could not escape so he gave up on the idea of escaping and waited for death to come. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Then, he closed his eyes.
The people hiding in the sand listened to the sounds outside the sand. After some strange noises, they finally left.
When everything returned to normal, they carefully lifted their heads and shook off the sand on their bodies.
"It's finally gone!"
"I almost suffocated to death!"
"It's so hot! I'm so hungry! "
"Are they all here? Are they all still alive? "
"Eh, where's Da Ren?"
"Da Ren! Where are you? "
They shouted a few times but did not get any response. Panicking, they ran towards where Gongjia Ren was and dug in the sand for a long time. All they found was Gongjia Ren's simple stone hammer. He was nowhere to be seen.
It wasn't just Gongjia Ren. The five sand lizards were nowhere to be seen. There were only some blood stains and scales.
"Could it be that the big bug took the desert beasts and Da Ren away?!"
