"Quick! Let's go!"
When the monster hit the ruins, a big hole was created, and the monster's huge body rushed out together. A strong light instantly shone in from the slope, mixed with a heat wave. At this moment, the few people couldn't care about anything else. If the monster rushed back again, they would really have no choice but to die.
The hall was already unstable, and the monster's collision just now affected the entire underground. The stone pillars fell one after another, and the huge boulder fragments overhead crashed down like meteors.
"Takji! What are you doing!" Chen Tao stood at the entrance of the ruins and saw the old man Takji running back again. He thought something had happened outside. When he looked again, he saw that the old man turned over several gravel slabs like a monkey. He ran straight towards the ground of the hall.
In a panic, Chen Tao Dingqing took a look and saw that rolling on the ground among the rocks was the night pearl as big as his head! I saw the eyes of the old man from Takji shining brightly as he dodged two falling boulders and rushed inside without looking back. Only the luminous pearl remained in his eyes.
When the monster hit him just now, the luminous pearl originally embedded in the eye of the stone statue was also knocked out. The old man Takji was greedy and saw the huge pearl rolling into the rocks. He had already reached the entrance of the ruins and ran away again. Go back, stumble down to the palace, pick up the night pearl and run out.
"This damn old man is dying!" Haozi crawled out using his hands and feet. Seeing that Takji was risking his life for the night pearl, he was too lazy to care about him and grabbed Chen Tao with one hand and rushed out.
boom......
Another stone pillar fell, and the depth of the hall lost its support. The entire apse collapsed and was instantly swallowed up by the yellow sand.
"Haozi, be careful!" Chen Tao pulled Haozi with great effort, and a large stone beam several meters long fell against Haozi's nose, making both of them tremble.
"Don't stop, go quickly!" Ye Rong was obviously much faster than Chen Tao and the others. In a few steps, she had rushed out of the ruins, turned around and stretched out her hand towards Chen Tao and the others.
"God bless you, wait for me!" Takeji held the luminous pearl and struggled to pull it on the ruins. The ground was shaking all around, and the entire roof of the palace was about to collapse completely, but he held the luminous pearl and refused to let go. Unfortunately, the beads were too heavy and the man could not stand firmly on the ruins. After crawling for a long time, Taji was still more than ten meters away from the entrance of the ruins.
"Damn it, forget about that broken ball, it's important to save your life!" Chen Tao couldn't bear to see Takji buried alive in the rubble, and turned around to pull him away, but unexpectedly a huge boulder suddenly fell down.
"Taozi!"
At the critical moment, Haozi hugged Chen Tao's waist and retreated, and the two of them rolled out of the ruins.
boom.......
There was a loud noise, and the broken stone wall crashed down, causing the sand and dust to hit them so hard that they could not open their eyes.
Chen Tao got up from the ground, spat out a few mouthfuls of sand, and suddenly looked at Takji under the ruins. He couldn't help shouting in his heart, "Oh no!"
Where is the entrance to the ruins? The entire hall collapsed, leaving only a large sand pit a few meters deep in front of it. The sand around it
It is sinking continuously.
It’s over!
Old man Tuckerji is completely finished now! Even if he wasn't crushed to death, he would still be suffocated to death by the sand. The three people present were not Daluo gods, so even if they wanted to save him, they were unable to do anything.
They say you can't be too greedy, otherwise you won't be able to catch anything. In the end, you even risked your own life for that night pearl.
Is it worth it?
The sand beneath them sank faster and faster. Chen Tao and the others did not dare to stop any longer, so they ran outside the ancient city.
The sandstorm outside had long since stopped. It was noon, and the sun was scorching so hot that even the hair on my body was curling up. The three of them looked around, but they didn't see the monster, and they didn't know where it went.
Just as they were thinking, the three of them ran past a broken wall, and a low roar suddenly came from the right.
Ouch... hiss, hiss...
Upon hearing this sound, Chen Tao's hair exploded. The monster was still there! Now they are no longer in the underground hall, and there is no room for them to circle around.
The three of them looked up and saw a shady spot with a broken wall. The monster was curling up and opening its four-petal mouth towards the three of them. Its scarlet tongue kept trembling, and its sharp barbs were shining in the sun. It's shocking to see. After roaring, the monster's big mouth suddenly bulged, and a stream of hot black water mixed with an indescribable stench sprayed towards the three of them.
"careful!"
Chen Tao, who was walking at the back, quickly tightened the clothes of Haozi and Ye Rong. The three of them rolled down the sandy slope and hit the door of another broken house in the ancient city.
Chi...
The black water sprayed onto the stone wall beside him, making a corrosive sound. It was mixed with a stench that sent people straight to their foreheads.
The three of them got up in embarrassment and ran outside without looking back.
This ruins is not very big, but its area is comparable to three or four schools. It is estimated that it used to be a small city-state in the desert. Over the years, it has been exposed to wind and sun, and the yellow sand on the streets has piled up on the roofs. A night's storm blew out the entire ancient city that was originally half-buried. Only a lot of yellow sand was piled up in some dead corners, with dead branches and bones blown in from nowhere.
The three of them hid behind a hidden broken wall and stared around vigilantly.
"What should we do? Our equipment and camels are with that monster. We have to find a way to get them back!" Chen Tao said worriedly.
"Take it? How do you take it? Are you going to use it as a snack for that thing?" Haozi took a sip, looked at the stone wall and said in the distance: "Old man Takji is finished. Now he even has no equipment and camels. Let's just wait. They will be dried alive and mummified, and then they will be dug out and put on display in a museum after 1,800 years."
Ye Rong bit her lower lip and frowned slightly: "Chen Tao is right. We must get back all the equipment and camels. We have to find a way."
"That thing doesn't seem to be following." Chen Tao looked at the bare houses behind him, but there was no sign of the monster.
"When we came out of the ruins, it didn't jump out to attack. Instead, it hid in the corner and attacked! This four-legged beast is really cunning. It's an ambush.
Waiting for us to take the bait! "Haozi picked out the sand in his ears and kept cursing.
"No..." Ye Rong suddenly stopped, "It shouldn't be a sneak attack!"
"What do you mean? If you don't make a sneak attack, are you waiting for love?" Haozi retorted.
"Did you notice just now that that thing seemed to be hiding in that corner? If it wanted to attack us, how could we have a chance to escape from the ruins!?"
"You mean, that thing is scared?" Looking at the scorching sun above his head, Chen Tao's mind was agitated.
This monster has been in that hall for who knows how many years. There must be a certain reason for hiding deep underground for a long time. Maybe he is really afraid of the sun.
"Let's go back and take a look!"
Thinking in his mind, Chen Tao turned around and walked towards the place where the monster was. For safety reasons, the three of them did not go directly to the main road. Instead, they walked back bit by bit along the wall. Their eyes were full of vigilance, for fear that the thing would accidentally come out of the corner and hurt someone.
The sun is rising higher and higher, and the surrounding temperature has also risen sharply. Even the shadows are much smaller than before. The three of them braved themselves and sneaked back to the main hall. The big pit in between them had been completely buried by the sand. Worried about the quicksand below, the three of them went around from the other side, hiding behind a collapsed wall and secretly looking at the wall where the monster was.
Chen Tao was indeed deceived. The thing was indeed afraid of light. Its huge body curled up in the shade of the corner, and its big mouth split into four parts kept roaring, and its voice was full of fear.
The sun was rising higher and higher. After the broken wall, Chen Tao and the other three were exposed to the sun and their necks felt hot for a while. Looking at the monster again, as the shaded area for him to take shelter was getting smaller and smaller, he seemed to be getting anxious and moaning. Yelling, he stretched out his paws several times to try to escape, but retracted as soon as his paws touched the sunlight.
"Damn you four-legged beast, Master Hao, I'm going to fight you here today, let's see who can survive the other!"
