Chapter 98 One person is missing
Chapter 98 One person is missing
After Ling Yunxiao walked up to the stone statue, he raised the axe in his hand and lightly chopped at the stone statue in front of him.
The golden sunlight reappeared on the stone statue, but it did not hinder the axe in the slightest. The giant axe fell and sliced the stone statue in half as easily as cutting tofu. After the stone statue was split in two, it fell to the ground and turned into dust and fluorescent light, which slowly drifted towards the people in the oasis.
Cheers soon erupted from the crowd, and the group looked in the direction of the sound.
They soon discovered that the people who were originally sick and weak had recovered their health, and their complexions had become much rosier.
"La, the pure sunlight you left behind has ultimately chosen to protect us..."
Hafula regained his senses through the fluorescent light, and once again knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face, bowing deeply to the sun in the sky.
After the pure sunlight completely disappeared, everything around gradually changed. The oasis was replaced by golden stone bricks, and everyone had returned to Sun City. At this moment, Sun City was shaking and was obviously about to collapse.
Wang Mian quickly enlarged the pixel particle ship, and Hafula and Aman led everyone into the ship.
Ling Yunxiao walked into the driver's seat, picked up the contact phone, and after confirming that there was indeed a number saved in it, he dialed it.
Soon, a clear and cheerful female voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of laughter in it.
"Hello, little Wangmian! It's such a surprise that you contacted me so quickly. What's up?"
"Hello, President. I am Ling Yunxiao. On our way to pursue the Egyptian wind god Xiu, we destroyed Sun City and discovered a human circle of the sun god. We have now rescued the people, but we need to return to Great Xia and we don't know what to do with them."
Could you please contact headquarters to see if we can take these people back, or what we should do?
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by what seemed like an exclamation from someone: "Young people these days..."
The president's voice came again, having recovered somewhat.
"Leave it to me! Dealing with the human circle issue is within the purview of the Upper Evil Society. This phone has a special connection with us. We should be able to arrive in about three days. Just wait for us where you are."
"I'm sorry, one of our companions is missing, and another needs rescue. We can't stay here any longer. Could you leave this ship here and wait for us while we leave first?"
Hearing about the team's current situation, Jinian breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. Thankfully, they didn't wipe out Sun City unscathed; they lost two members, presumably their two strongest members are now in trouble.
"Hmm... Do you know how to sail? Connect your phone to the radar coordinates, activate autopilot, and I'll lead a team to meet you there."
"We're in the desert now, there's no seawater!"
"The pixel boat has wheels and can travel on both land and water. As long as you know how to drive, you can drive it out."
"Hmm... I don't know how, I'll go out and ask..."
Ling Yunxiao held the phone and shouted into the crowd. Unexpectedly, the person who would eventually set sail was the high priest Hafula, who had spent his entire life in the desert.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Hafra casually pressed a few buttons and switched the boat to autopilot mode.
"In Egypt, the high priest is the most learned person. Khafre was always extremely diligent and eager to learn, so it is normal that he was able to fly airplanes, ships, and trains."
Aman smiled and explained to the crowd, who were once again filled with astonishment. Huh? Aren't priests all charlatans? They actually have real skills?
Perhaps it was because everyone's gazes were too direct, but Hafra actually understood what they meant. He walked into the driver's seat with a complicated expression, ignoring everyone else.
Leng Xuan accepted the lone boat given to him by Ling Yunxiao. The lone boat rapidly expanded several times over, eventually transforming into a size capable of carrying several people.
After the group boarded the lone boat provided by the fish gills, Leng Xuan tested it and found that it could indeed travel through the desert. He waved goodbye to Aman.
Oman's eyes widened like saucers. This lone boat didn't seem like it could possibly cross the ocean!
The next second, Leng Xuan's divine domain unfolded, and the lone boat left afterimages on the water's surface, departing from Sun City at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye of Oman.
Yang Jian sat at the bow of the boat, unleashing his three-pointed, double-edged halberd, the golden blade pointing eastward. That was its indelible connection to the Heavenly Court, and also the path home for the group.
"Return to Great Xia, travel horizontally all the way, and try to completely cover all of Garuda King's flight routes."
"Understood. I will take a zigzag route to cover as much of the sea area from Sun City to Great Xia as possible."
The Zhong Kui Demon-Slaying Sword hung above the lone boat, and everyone on board unleashed their spiritual power. Compared to Old Wu in Daxia, they were more worried about Han Shaoyun, who was adrift at sea.
Seven days later, the group arrived at the east coast of Great Xia.
The group looked dejected. As soon as their phones regained signal, Ling Yunxiao dialed Wu Tongxuan's number.
"Old Wu, has Garuda King brought Han Shaoyun back?"
"No! Where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back? Did something happen to Han Shaoyun? Where are you?"
“We’re on the east coast. If you’re not too far away, come and meet us. We won’t be landing. Han Shaoyun and Garuda King went back to Great Xia to provide support eight days ago. We were delayed in Sun City for a day. When we realized that the two of them might not be able to come back, we started searching back home. However, we’ve been searching for seven days and haven’t found any news at all.”
"I'm nearby, wait for me."
Ten minutes later, a purple beam of lightning descended from the sky, and Old Wu stood on the beam and waved to the group.
"Come up, all of you. I was fighting Hela on the shore of the North Sea. If Garuda King brings Han Shaoyun back, he will probably land on the North Sea side. Garuda King is a bird after all, and you will have a hard time finding traces of them in the sea.
Upon hearing this, the group immediately felt that what Old Wu said made a lot of sense, and they all jumped onto the Thor Pillar.
After greeting the others, Bu Li looked at Wang Mian.
"I've never been to Sun City, but I can give you a general direction."
Wang Mian immediately went to Bu Li's side, and the two of them together controlled the Thunder God Pillar to fly towards Sun City.
Three days and three nights later, the group stopped in front of the collapsed Sun City.
Because of Ling Yunxiao's addition, the group hadn't slept for three days and three nights, and their faces looked terrible.
"Go back to Great Xia and search again!"
