Chapter 555 Ambush on the Way

Across the boundless desert, Chen Yu was driving his car, listening to music with a look of complete contentment on his face.

On the car’s computer screen in front of him, information related to Sky Sand City was continuously being displayed.

It was said that this city had existed for over a thousand years, having been built by the nobles of the Ma Empire who migrated there.

Because it’s located in the heart of the desert, they seldom had any disturbances and were able to prosper for a thousand years.

However, in recent years, the people there had become a bit overbearing, not only robbing passing merchants but also extending their reach into the surrounding cities.

Many cities and powers had reportedly had a large portion of their assets seized by the people of Sky Sand City.

Chen Yu was engrossed in the material when he suddenly felt like he had hit something.

He hurriedly pressed the brake, got out to check, and saw a human-shaped object lying not far away!

Chen Yu couldn’t help but frown, could he have hit a person?

He immediately released the system to scan and discovered that what lay there was nothing more than a scarecrow made of straw.

Just as he was about to get back into the car, a sudden shout of war cries erupted from around him.

A large group of people riding sand bikes rapidly approached and soon surrounded him completely.

“This kid really has the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard to dare wander around near our Sky Sand City. He must not want to live!”

“Hey, kid, leave all the valuable things you have in the car, and perhaps we can spare your life.”

“Better leave the car itself too!”

…

A group of men burst into hearty laughter, believing that Chen Yu was like a lamb to the slaughter, ready for them to carve up at will.

At the front of the group, a burly man jumped off his sand bike, holding a large knife and walked straight up to Chen Yu.

“Young man, I don’t want to make things difficult for you. Just do as we say, and maybe you can keep your life!”

Chen Yu glanced at the gang in front of him and noticed they indeed were well-equipped. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably end up dead right there.

Moreover, the big leader was incredibly muscular, his muscles looking as solid as rocks.

Just as Chen Yu was planning to deal with them, he suddenly spotted an exceptionally beautiful jade token on the leader’s body.

“Is that token an entry pass to Sky Sand City?”

The leader glanced at the token at his waist and then burst into laughter.

“That’s right, with this token, one can freely enjoy themselves in Sky Sand City. Are you interested in it?”

Chen Yu nodded and suddenly closed the distance to the big man, grabbing his shoulder.

The surrounding people, seeing this move, became tense, and they all gathered around with their weapons at the ready.

But as they drew near, a blue-white electric light suddenly flashed by, shocking and stunning them to the ground.

Chen Yu smoothly took the token from the leader’s waist.

“Just what I needed. I was planning on visiting Sky Sand City for a couple of days. Thanks a lot!”

Before the leader could react, Chen Yu tapped him on the forehead.

After the bulky man fainted, Chen Yu took several key items from him, put them on himself, and strolled towards Sky Sand City.

Less than an hour later, Chen Yu was outside Sky Sand City.

The place was a bit different from what he had imagined, the outer walls were tall and thick, resembling ancient fortifications, and were reinforced with an additional layer of steel-reinforced concrete.

Even some of today’s heavy weaponry might not necessarily be able to break through it.
