Chapter 346: Sandstorm

Chen Fan lifted an Eighth Rank Hell Ghost Scorpion into the air.

He immediately unleashed his self-created Crazy Dance Whip Technique, whipping it frantically against the ground.

Inside the Hell Ghost Scorpion, Tamon was both shocked and furious!

Chen Fan's combat power simply overturned his understanding!

Although he was protected by a meat cushion, he still felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart from being tossed around.

"Sever the tail!" He gritted his teeth and hurriedly ordered.

The Hell Ghost Scorpion's tail detached instantly, and its body was flung away.

The moment it hit the ground, the Hell Ghost Scorpion burrowed into the earth and disappeared!

The remaining Tabuluo Tribe members saw this and also drove their Hell Ghost Scorpions to flee underground.

Chen Fan used the Thunder Eye Technique to probe the ground, only to find that the opponents had already vanished!

"They must have escaped! Truly troublesome!" Chen Fan sighed: "But these Ghost Scorpions are really strange; they don't have a shred of affection for their own masters."

Diana lowered her head, pouting, and did not speak.

"What's wrong? Beautiful," Chen Fan bumped her shoulder and asked, puzzled.

Diana looked up at him, her eyes slightly red; she had truly thought Chen Fan was dead just now, and the sudden sense of loss and sadness that had welled up in her heart left her feeling dazed even now.

"Don't play dead again in the future." After Diana said this, her mood remained low; she picked up the scabbard she had tossed on the ground and walked forward on her own.

"Why is this beautiful girl acting so inexplicably?" Chen Fan touched his nose, feeling confused.

Not long after the two left, the Tabuluo Tribe members emerged from beneath the sand once again at the site of the original battle.

Tamon looked in the direction the two had departed, his expression extremely gloomy!

Ten minutes later, Chen Fan and Diana were only fifty kilometers away from the Khufu Pyramid.

But at this moment, they were forced to stop in their tracks.

Ahead, dust filled the air, yellow sand blotted out the sun, and a terrifying sandstorm stretched for dozens of kilometers! It completely blocked the path forward for the two.

"Chen Fan, this sandstorm is very unusual! It is definitely not naturally occurring!"

After standing still for a moment, both of them revealed grave expressions.

The sandstorm in front of them was not moving forward, but spinning frantically in place at an extremely high speed!

"Let me take a look!" Chen Fan said, brushing his finger across the center of his brow.

The next moment, a purple vertical pupil appeared between his brows!

Faint flashes of lightning appeared within the vertical pupil!

"Eh? Chen Fan, what kind of technique is this?" Diana asked in surprise.

Chen Fan did not answer her, but stared unblinkingly at the sandstorm in front of him.

The Void-Breaking Eye was quietly activated, greatly enhancing his vision!

His gaze pierced through the obstruction of the sand bit by bit, looking toward the interior of the storm.

But the closer to the center, the greater the density of the sand, and his gaze lost its effect after penetrating only a hundred meters or so.

"It's no use! I can't see clearly!" Chen Fan rubbed his sore vertical pupil and said quickly.

"Shall we go in and take a look?" Diana drew her Long Sword and looked ahead vigilantly.

"Let me try again!" Chen Fan was unwilling to give up and utilized the Thunder Eye Technique.

However, even though his consciousness reached a thousand meters deep, there was still only sand filling the sky, and he could not see any other sights.

"Could this really be a naturally formed sandstorm?" Just as the two were speculating.

A barely audible shout came from within!

"Hand over the Other Shore Flower, and I may spare your life!"

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Fan and Diana felt their hearts jolt!

"Other Shore Flower? Isn't that exactly what Mo Wuya is looking for?" Diana grabbed Chen Fan's arm, feeling somewhat nervous.

Chen Fan, however, placed a finger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet.

Chen Fan focused all his attention on his ears, listening carefully to the movements coming from the sandstorm!

Sure enough, there were sounds of fighting inside, and there were quite a few people!

Chen Fan could not hold back and said: "Beautiful, I have to go in and check the situation; I suspect Mo Wuya is inside!"

"I'll go with you!" Diana hurriedly grabbed Chen Fan.

Chen Fan shook his head slightly and said: "You wait here; I might move to seize the Other Shore Flower, it's too dangerous for you to go in."

Diana's face showed worry, but she still nodded; Chen Fan was right—if a conflict broke out, Chen Fan would inevitably be distracted if she were present.

"Then be careful! Safety is the most important thing."

Chen Fan nodded and walked toward the sandstorm; the moment he stepped in, he felt a powerful tearing sensation.

Chen Fan gave a soft snort, covered his whole body in Thunder Armor, and continued deeper while bracing against the tearing sensation.

However, after going five kilometers deep, he found it difficult to take another step!

The surrounding wind and sand cut against the Thunder Armor like sharp blades, emitting a sizzling sound.

"To be able to unleash such a terrifying sandstorm, this person's strength definitely exceeds the Eighth Rank Peak!"

Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should continue deeper.

After pondering for half a minute, he put the Hidden Soul Bead around his neck, opened a Space Gate behind himself, and only then gritted his teeth and pushed forward against the wind and sand!

After going another four or five kilometers deeper, he finally caught a faint glimpse of several figures engaged in a struggle.

Chen Fan dared not continue deeper, so he immediately leaned down and lay flat, observing slightly.

It seemed to be a group of people besieging one person!

"Could the person being besieged really be Mo Wuya?" Chen Fan felt a moment of worry.

His strength was insufficient; he dared not approach any closer!

But soon, a voice full of exasperation rang out, making his heart jolt.

"I merely took one of your Other Shore Flowers; is it really necessary to deploy three Eighth Rank Peak experts to hunt me down?"

"It's Mo Wuya!" Chen Fan's heart began to pound; Mo Wuya's voice was highly distinctive, and although Chen Fan had only spent half a day with him, he still recognized it.

For a moment, Chen Fan's thoughts raced; he certainly did not want Mo Wuya to die on the spot.

But after thinking it over, he realized he was powerless; he definitely could not get close to that battlefield!

The power of the sandstorm was enough to shred him to pieces!

"Old man, you have to hold on!" Chen Fan could only pray silently.

But soon, his hanging heart died completely!

After the struggle continued for a few minutes, it ended with a figure falling to the ground, unable to rise.

"It's over!" Chen Fan's heart sank to the bottom of the abyss.

At this very moment, the surrounding sandstorm seemed as if a pause button had been pressed, instantly falling back to the ground.

Chen Fan's body was also completely covered and buried by the sand and soil.

Even though he was buried underground, he dared not move a muscle, fearing he might alert those people.

Not long after, the sound of rustling footsteps came from above his head.

Chen Fan immediately suppressed even his own heartbeat!

Several people walked over his head, accompanied by the sound of conversation.

"Almost let that old guy get away; it's a good thing we caught him."

"Mm, take him back and hand him over to His Highness to deal with. If he is willing to serve His Highness, he might be spared; if he is unwilling, hehe, refining him into a dried corpse to cultivate the Other Shore Flower wouldn't be bad either..."

Not until the voices had completely faded away did Chen Fan scramble out from underground.

He shook the sand off his body and, instead, let out a sigh of relief.

"Listening to those people's conversation, Mo Wuya shouldn't be dead yet... As long as he's not dead, there's still a chance to save him."
