Mo Fan and the others had completed their mission. They purposely stayed away from the maze to set up tents to rest and treat their wounds so that they would not be affected by the sandstorm.
When they asked Nan Jue why he had suddenly left his post, Nan Jue explained how he was suddenly ambushed.
"I saw a monster. Its entire body was covered in floating sand. It looked like a Sand Demon, but it spoke a language similar to a human's. Its eyes were similar to a human's, but they were filled with resentment and viciousness. It felt like a vengeful ghost. Its movement and flight were accompanied by strong sandstorms. I was chased for a long distance by it, but strangely, it didn't kill me. It kept chasing me until I was worn out, "Nan Jue recalled the scene with lingering fear.
The creature's aura was fairly strong. Nanyu strongly believed that if the creature wanted to kill her, it would only need to raise its hand and direct the sandstorm at her. However, it did not do any of that. It was only driving her away with a grudge.
"Is there really such a strange thing in this world?" Zhao Manyan said.
"Are you sure it was speaking in a human language?" Jiang Yu asked seriously.
"It was, but I'm not sure which language it was speaking," Nan Jue said.
"Could it be an Elemental Evil Spirit?" Jiang Yu wondered.
"What's an Elemental Evil Spirit?"
"Do you remember the monk at Yanming Temple? The Vessel Demon Spirit that used to be inside your goddamned wooden clapper?" Jiang Yu said.
"How could I not remember? Its aura was similar to a vengeful spirit!"
"After the monk died, his soul resided in a powerful vessel, which turned him into a demon spirit. If the soul of a dead person resided in a place filled with strong elemental energy, it might turn into an Elemental Evil Spirit. I believe the thing Nan Jue saw was most likely an Elemental Evil Spirit, a Sandstorm Evil Spirit. It also explains why we and the others were caught in a sandstorm. It's obvious that the Sandstorm Evil Spirit is active around here! "Jiang Yu explained.
After stumbling into the Vessel Demon Spirit at Yanming Temple in Japan, Jiang Yu purposely searched for information regarding demon spirits and tormented souls. P >
Nan Jue subconsciously glanced at Mofan and whispered to Mofan, "Speaking of which, isn't Little Flame Belle's mother, the Fire Witch, Jiang Feng an Elemental Evil Spirit too?"
Even though they possessed the bodies of demon creatures and possessed powerful sorcery, they still behaved like humans. As Jiang Yu had mentioned, they were a bunch of Elemental Spirits. They used to be a bunch of human Magicians. Their souls had found a new place to stay after they died, and were reborn in a different way in this special place!
…
Either way, someone had already taken over the job. They did not have to worry too much about it. With the help of the Super Mage who was familiar with the desert maze, even if they stumbled into the Sandstorm Vengeful Spirit, they would still be able to handle it.
Mofan lay in the tent and started counting his loot from the battle.
After killing so many Warrior-level demon creatures, Mofan had obtained five Warrior-level Soul Essences from the Little Loach Pendant. Mofan used the five Soul Essences to strengthen the Stars of his Lightning Element without any hesitation.
With two more Soul Essences, his Lightning Strike would evolve to the fifth-tier. Its power was not to be underestimated.
Mofan was about to meditate when he suddenly heard a strong gust of wind outside the tent. An unusual aura lingered in the air.
Mofan and the others immediately came out of the tent. They were shocked to see a huge cloud of yellow dust in the direction of the desert maze. The thick sand was rolling up into the sky like a landslide. Their hearts skipped a beat when they saw it!
"Such a strong sandstorm, I feel like it's coming our way," said Jiang Yu in astonishment.
"Let's go, let's go!"
The group immediately retreated in the direction of the Mediterranean Sea when they realized they were in danger.
They ran at full speed for at least twenty to thirty kilometers. What made their hearts palpitate was that the sandstorm was getting closer and closer!
The sandstorm was a few times stronger than the ones before. It felt like it was going to devour the whole place.
"Look!"
The sky in the direction of the Mediterranean Sea was still blue, but the sky in the direction of the Sahara Desert was gone? It was a yellow sandstorm.
At the top of the gigantic wave of sand and dust, a proud and arrogant figure could be seen!
As Nan Jue had described, the figure was surrounded by floating sand particles. Its eyes were filled with strong hatred and restlessness. The sandstorm was its doing, as it was like a commander standing in the middle of an army of sand. In other words, the sandstorm was a part of it!
Nan Jue was astounded when she saw the figure standing at the top of the sandstorm.
She was even more astonished than the last time she saw the Sandstorm Evil Spirit. Only a Ruler-level creature could possess such an aura. Even an ordinary Ruler-level creature would not be able to devour the sandstorm within a few dozen kilometers!
The group kept running until they were able to see the sea.
The sandstorm did not stop. It did not weaken even when it came into contact with the sea. Soon, the surface of the sea was covered in sand!
The coastline was supposed to be a beautiful sandy beach, but due to the sandstorm, the entire coastline was pushed deeper into the sea. It felt like the Sahara Desert had expanded further because of the sandstorm!
"Holy crap, what kind of monster is that? It's absolutely terrifying."
On the Mediterranean Sea, Mofan and the others were astounded when they saw the sandstorm riding on the back of a water beast that Jiang Yu Summoned.
The sea was filled up, and the desert was pushed further away because of the sandstorm. It was all because of the Sandstorm Evil Spirit!
They could still remember the creature's eyes filled with hatred and disdain in the yellow sky …
"I'm afraid … they won't be able to make it out alive, right?"
Jiang Shaoxu said in a deep voice when he saw the desert extending all the way to the sea.
"I think so. Luckily, we chose to leave."
"It's too scary, I'll never go back to the Sahara Desert again. Even that Super Mage is going to die too."
It was hard to tell if they were lucky, or if the people who went to rescue them were unlucky. The giant sandstorm that the Sandstorm Evil Spirit had summoned had devoured everything, including the relatively safe spot that Mofan and the others were at. It even reached the Mediterranean Sea in the distance.
Judging from the furious roars and roars of the Sandstorm Evil Spirit, the people that were caught in it were most likely dead.
…
This trip could be said to be a first-hand experience of the terror of the Sahara. At this moment, no matter how high the price was, the few of them would never set foot in that desert again.
Regardless of whether it was the dispute between the tribes or the Sandstorm Vengeful Spirit, they had all been traumatized by it.
Mofan and the others followed the shoreline of the Mediterranean Sea to Egypt, to regroup with the original team.
After arriving in Egypt, the advisors gave them the rewards they were supposed to receive. The African Magic Association also sent a few groups of people to interrogate them about what had happened in the Sahara Desert.
Judging from how nervous they were, it seemed like neither the students who had fallen into the sandstorm, nor the team led by the Super Mage had made it out alive.
It made sense now that they thought about it. The Sandstorm Evil Spirit seemed to be waiting for Devon and the others to arrive. It suddenly burst into rage and covered the sky …
"It seems like the Super Mage called Devon is most likely related to the Sandstorm Evil Spirit when it was still alive," Nan Jue said.
It had been a few days since they left the Sahara Desert, yet the sandstorm was still lingering in their minds.
"(Sigh), we sent people to rescue them, but they ended up causing a bigger disaster instead," Jiang Shaoxu let out a sigh.
"How strong do you think the Sandstorm Evil Spirit is? I think it's the strongest creature in the world!" Zhao Manyan said.
"I think it's above average among Ruler-level creatures," Mofan said.
"Why is that?" Zhao Manyan asked.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Mofan. Their thoughts were the same as Zhao Manyan's. The Sandstorm Evil Spirit in the Sahara Desert was definitely one of the strongest creatures in the world. It could devour a few dozen kilometers of land and bury ten kilometers of sea … if it was not the strongest creature, what was the real King of Ruler-level creatures?
"I've seen the strongest creatures among Ruler-level creatures. The Sandstorm Evil Spirit should be a level lower than them," Mofan said calmly.
"Don't try to fool us, we're serious about it. I don't think there's anything stronger than the Sandstorm Evil Spirit in the world."
"If that's what you think, you're completely wrong. Let me put it this way, there are at least two creatures in our country that are capable of defeating the Sandstorm Evil Spirit!" Mofan said.
"Which two?"
Mofan wore a mysterious smile. However, when he saw Mu Ningxue looking at him curiously too, as if she was trying to tell him the answer with her eyes, Mofan could no longer keep up the act.
"I can only tell you that one of them is in Hangzhou, and the other is in the Ancient Capital."
"Hangzhou? Don't tell me you're talking about the Skyscraping Snake that showed up in the city? I heard that it was able to defeat the Silver Skyruler of the West Ridge like it was a primary school kid. I might believe it if you're telling me that the guardian in Hangzhou is stronger than the Sandstorm Evil Spirit. However, the other one that showed up in the Ancient Capital … don't tell me you're talking about the strongest Undead Ruler that almost uprooted a city — the Mountain Zombie? "Jiang Yu was brimming with excitement as he talked about it.
"Are they really stronger than the Sandstorm Evil Spirit?"
"Definitely!"
