On the desert.
Gu Qing Shan was quickly flying away, putting some distance between himself and the gigantic creature behind him.
— — -it was a giant covered entirely in frost.
Boundless frost exuded from its body, spreading across the desert in every direction, freezing everything into an austere white color.
The giant stood motionless, but its head was already in the sky.
Its cold and emotionless expression, as well as its towering figure, could be clearly seen even from the edge of the desert.
"This … why does it look exactly the same as the giant that Shroud transformed into?" Gu Qing Shan was silently shocked.
He didn't have time to think any further.
The frost was quickly spreading across the desert, freezing everything in its path.
A heavy-armored Bugman was a bit too slow and was instantly frozen into a pile of ice not too far away from Gu Qing Shan.
The Bugman struggled for its life, but couldn't escape in the end.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at it and sped up.
— — no one could tell how powerful the frost was, or if they could escape from it.
If they didn't speed up, they would be frozen in place.
Even if they were flying, they would need to avoid the frost that was constantly spreading through the air, otherwise, they would be frozen as well!
Gu Qing Shan had basically used all of Li Jiu's strength, perhaps even 'exceeding' himself a bit to quickly avoid the frost on the ground.
Other than him, there were also a few lucky ones who didn't manage to enter the oasis in time.
These people were all madly running for their lives.
Fortunately, the 'Destroyer of All Things and Living Beings' didn't notice these ants on the desert.
A series of low explosive sounds erupted from its mouth.
— — -there were countless Sequences, Bugmen, and dragons in the oasis that it had devoured.
Crack crack crack crack!
The giant's mouth began to move.
It was chewing.
Chewing.
Chewing, chewing, chewing — —
All of a sudden, the sounds of attacks stopped.
Gulp!
The giant swallowed everything in its mouth.
There were no longer any sounds in this world, everything had returned to silence.
The giant stood still and uttered a long low growl.
The food just now seemed to have satisfied it.
…
As Gu Qing Shan was running, he suddenly noticed that something wasn't right.
— — Why did I have to run for my life?
"Come out, pig of darkness!"
He shouted, and a sturdy back immediately lifted him up, carrying him as they continued to run forward.
The Dark Wild Boar specialized in charging and sprinting, its speed was no slower than Li Jiu's!
Gu Qing Shan heaved a sigh of relief. She sat down on the pig's back and kept her guard up.
The wild boar was in charge of running, while he was in charge of keeping watch.
This was the safest way to advance.
He looked behind him and saw that the frost was getting further and further away from him, and it was covered by the endless sandstorm in the distance.
Ji!
The sound of an insect could be heard.
A winged insectoid flew through the sandstorm and caught up to Gu Qing Shan.
"Speed up. The assembly point should be in the southwest direction."
It flapped its wings and quickly flew past the Darkness Boar, flying forward.
Gu Qing Shan opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, the other party had already disappeared.
He stiffened and muttered to himself, "So fast …"
A line of crimson text quickly appeared in the void of space:
[Your Darkness Boar has been infected with the Level 3 Insectoid Neurotoxin – Paralysis]
[The Darkness Boar's motor system has been corroded, its running speed will be reduced for the next period of time]
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
Just now, that insectoid gave me a heads-up, silently attacked my mount, then ran away.
"That won't do, I have to report this to the Era civilization"
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the War Order UI, only to see that it was still grey.
When she looked down again, she saw that the Demon Emperor's tentacles on her left arm were all in a dormant state.
Their communication had been cut off by the Apocalypse.
The tentacles were also ordered not to attack the allied forces.
— — no wonder they dared to act so recklessly!
Gu Qing Shan scoffed, then searched through Li Jiu's personal storage room and found a few antidotes.
He didn't know how effective these antidotes would be, so he took them all out and put them in his palm, placing them next to the wild boar's mouth.
"Come, eat them" Gu Qing Shan said.
The wild boar ate all the antidotes in one gulp.
A few moments later.
A line of crimson text appeared:
"Your mount has already recovered."
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
That's good.
But the next time I run into an insectoid — — -
Sha!
A figure came running from behind.
Gu Qing Shan put on the Thunder Fury Gauntlet and glared at him full of killing intent.
A man in a robe appeared from the sandstorm and loudly shouted: "Don't attack! He's one of us! "
As Gu Qing Shan focused his gaze, he noticed that the other party was giving off an indescribable aura that gave him a sense of familiarity.
"You're a dragon!" Gu Qing Shan blurted out.
The man froze, then asked in surprise: "How did you know?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I don't see any Insectoid characteristics on you, nor do I sense any Sequences on you, so you must be a dragon"
"Smart one!" the man praised.
"That's strange, if you're a dragon, why don't you have vertical pupils?" Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
The man appeared a bit awkward, but reluctantly answered: "Sometimes, to confuse the enemy …"
He peeled open his eyelid and took off a thin pair of contact lenses.
"So that's why, do you think I'm an enemy?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
His body gave off layers of lightning.
The man's eyebrows twitched and hurriedly said: "It's not like that — — I thought we'd run into an Apocalyptic monster, who knew it was one of us!"
"Ah, is that so" Gu Qing Shan lowered her fist.
"Yes, that's the case" the man replied.
The two of them fell silent.
Gu Qing Shan remained cautious.
The man quickly thought of a strategy to deal with it.
The wild boar continued to run forward while the man followed closely behind.
The atmosphere was a bit tense …
The man thought for a bit, then said: "Sequences, your Sequences have been cut off by the Apocalypse, so I'll kindly remind you — — - 3000 miles to the Southeast, the allied forces are preparing to gather there and fight against that Apocalyptic Giant"
"Southeast? Very well, thank you for telling me "Gu Qing Shan nodded.
The man smiled: "We're all on the same side, no need to be so polite"
He looked down at Gu Qing Shan's hands.
Only to see that Gu Qing Shan's fists were flickering with lightning, in a state where she was ready to unleash a powerful attack at any moment.
The man smiled and said: "This — — brother, you seem to be a bit worried about me"
Gu Qing Shan also smiled and sincerely replied: "Brother Long, it's not that I'm worried about you, it's just that there are too many monsters in the sandstorm, not to mention the frost chasing after us. I have to be prepared to use my full strength at any moment to kill those monsters that tried to attack us in a single strike"
After saying so, the lightning aura around Gu Qing Shan's body increased a bit more.
The man opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
— — -originally, he wanted to use Dragon Hex, but the other party looked like he was ready to risk his life at any moment. As soon as he noticed anything amiss, he would immediately unleash a killing blow.
This is a desperado.
Wouldn't tricking someone like him be the same as asking for trouble?
The man smiled and nodded to Gu Qing Shan: "I'll be going first, remember to gather"
Sha — — -
He turned into a dragon and hurried on his way.
It wasn't until this dragon had flown out of sight that Gu Qing Shan silently sighed in relief.
"Both of them have ulterior motives … the alliance is probably only a temporary measure of convenience"
He muttered to himself and patted the dark wild boar.
The dark wild boar immediately changed its direction and headed towards the gathering point.
Time slowly passed.
Gu Qing Shan passed through a tall sand dune and finally saw the gathering point.
The Sequences, Insectoids, and Dragons had all gathered into their respective armies and began to prepare for war.
After watching for a while, Gu Qing Shan was about to head forward to meet up.
Suddenly, a leader of the Dragon Race army jumped out with a megaphone in his hand. As he walked toward the Insectoid army and the Sequencers army, he shouted, "Listen up! When we fight, we Dragons will take the vanguard, your two armies will support us from both sides! "
The Dragons will take the vanguard?
Is there such a good deal?
Hearing that, the Insectoids and Sequences hurriedly agreed.
Gu Qing Shan stood on top of the sand dune and listened, only to see lines of crimson text appearing in front of her eyes:
[Large-scale Legion Dragon Hex: Fervor has been activated!]
[You and your pig have heard this Dragon Hex and been struck by this Dragon Hex]
[Fervor:]
[Concealment Legion Dragon Hex, Causality Law Hex]
[Activation condition: The number of Dragons must reach the level of an Army]
[Effect: Allies will gradually fall into a state of Fervor without regard for their own safety, actively taking the vanguard of the Dragons and taking damage in place of the Dragons]
Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through and couldn't help but feel speechless.
— — -even their own people are being manipulated, that's enough.
But in the end, the three Arts aren't really on the same side at all.
"Brother pig, let's retreat"
Gu Qing Shan whispered.
— — -if we stay, we'll become meat shields for the Dragons.
The wild boar grunted, turned around, and ran towards the other side of the desert.
