Chapter 1164 - Palace, Tunnel (2/2)
The two doors, which were never sturdy to begin with, were completely crushed.
“Young Wu, open the tunnel!”
Jin Xiangyu no longer had the coquettish air she usually had. She shouted and had her employees rush into the kitchen.
At that moment, everyone received a system notification.
“Ding!
“You’ve encountered the black sandstorm, a phenomenon that appears once every fifty years!
“It is rumored that once the black sandstorm passes, the desert palace will show up. Once you get through the black sandstorm, you will be able to see the desert palace.”
“Follow Jin Xiangyu!”
At the moment he received the notification from the system, Silver Wolf was just in time to see Jin Xiangyu and her employees rush into the kitchen. He quickly sent a signal to Knife, Bar, and Thunder.
Whoosh!
The party simultaneously chased after Jin Xiangyu.
“The inn has been destroyed!”
“Jin Xiangyu ran!”
“Hurry! If you want to live, enter the tunnel!”
Right when the party entered the kitchen, they heard chaotic shouts ring from behind them.
Phantasmal Shadow and the rest might have seen Jin Xiangyu and Silver Wolf’s party enter the tunnel, but the Wind Assault Tower members were more concerned about Wu Kuo and co, who had followed the young man in white, Evil King, and the others to head to the ruins of the former Dragon Gate Inn.
Right now, the elites from the ruins had all returned to hide from the disaster, but Wu Kuo and his company were nowhere to be found. They were incredibly worried.
“Wu Kuo!”
“Hurry up and send a messenger pigeon over!”
Phantasmal Shadow did not panic like the others.
Since the white-clad young man and the other elites in the dao of heaven did not show up, there might be some sort of secret in this. Phantasmal Shadow forced herself to remain calm and waited in the inn. More people headed into Jin Xiangyu’s tunnel, but the people from Wind Assault Tower stayed back with grim determination to wait for Wu Kuo.
Boom!
Wu Kuo led two people and rushed in a pathetic manner.
“‘m…’ere…”
“‘urry up ‘n go!”
Wu Kuo and the other two had their mouths and noses filled with sand, and their bodies were covered in wounds as well. Right after they rushed in, the first thing they did was to grab Phantasmal Shadow and the others.
Phantasmal Shadow’s expression changed.
“What about those people?”
“Bah! Let’s go! Those lunatics stayed at the ruins and didn’t come over! I reckon they’re already swallowed up by the black sandstorm! We have to leave! If we don’t, it’ll be too late!”
Wu Kuo spat out the sand in his mouth and hastily urged Phantasmal Shadow to take action.
Phantasmal Shadow might still not be able to give up on the fortuitous event by the elites in the dao of heaven, but when she saw that the practically substantial tornado outside the inn had almost drawn close to the stable in the inn and countless horses neighed in panic while they were dragged up to the sky, she knew that even if she went over right now, she would die. She gritted her teeth and gave her order.
“Let’s go! We’re entering the tunnel!
“Open the path!”
Boom!
Before Dragon Gate Inn was destroyed, the ruins of the former Dragon Gate Inn was already trampled about so badly by the black sandstorm that it had already disappeared without a trace.
A huge tunnel that was so deep that the end could not be seen appeared from under the ground at the place where the seven elites in the dao of heaven originally were. Then, together with the chains connected to the door of the tunnel, the tunnel was slowly buried by the yellow sand that filled the air.
“Ding!”
When he was in the dark environment, Happy suddenly heard the clear sound of the system notification. “You found the tunnel to the ruins.”
Thud!
Thousand-faced Human Fox brought an item out of his sleeves and flung it in the air. A red spark quickly started burning brightly before it turned into flames to illuminate all that was in the rather wide tunnel.
“Master! Master, are you alright?
“I’m fine. Where’s Osaya?”
“I’m here.”
Happy patted away the dust from his body and quickly activated his spirit sense to locate Osaya, who clung to a high spot with just one hand.
It was rather surprising.
At the moment the chains appeared on the empty area of the ruins, one of Martial Paragon Bi Xuan’s followers followed his order and yanked at the mechanism. The entire ruins sank underground. The seven elites in the dao of heaven, including the hundreds of elites nearby were all affected. Everything within a circular area of 328 feet that did not have anything that could serve as platforms for them to jump sank.
Since Osaya was in the dao of heaven, she was in a slightly better condition. She did not end up covered in dust.
“Gusu’s Blue-robed Hero, you’re skilled indeed. Even if this happened, you remained safe…”
Osaya floated down and saw that Happy was covered in dust. She could not help but smile.
Happy did not care about Osaya’s teasing words. He looked around and said to Thousand-faced Human Fox, “Ten Thousand Years, this might be the tunnel leading to the desert palace. Be careful and check whether there are any traps here.”
