Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 98 Desert Perils

When they arrived at the western border sea, they were greeted by a dazzling golden sea of ​​sand, with the scorching sun baking the earth.

Wen Xingyu said worriedly, "There seems to be nowhere to hide here, and danger is probably everywhere."

Before he could finish speaking, the sand suddenly sank, forming a series of quicksand whirlpools.

Huan Yuechu shouted, "Everyone, scatter and run! Don't get caught in it!"

They ran for their lives, but suddenly a group of sand scorpions sprang out of the sea, their stingers raised high, gleaming with a deadly blue light.

Xu Yan nimbly wielded her sword, its blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

With each swing of his sword, he precisely deflected the sand scorpion's sharp pincers and venomous stinger.

On the other side, Huan Yuechu closed her eyes tightly, her hands constantly forming hand seals, mobilizing the meager spiritual power remaining in her body, and using all her strength to create a wind barrier to temporarily block the surging quicksand.

However, despite their best efforts, their strength seemed so insignificant in the face of the endless stream of enemies and the harsh environment.

Before long, they gradually became exhausted and eventually could not withstand the onslaught, their vision went black and they fainted.

Just then, the previously clear sky suddenly darkened, and a patch of dark clouds quickly gathered.

Immediately afterwards, a huge desert eagle swooped down from the clouds.

It spread its wings, which were big enough to blot out the sky, and brought up a gust of wind as it pounced straight at the two unconscious people.

In the blink of an eye, at the crucial moment, Xu Yan used her last bit of consciousness to throw the crystal ball in her arms into the air.

Instantly, the crystal ball emitted a dazzling light, transforming into a solid light shield that firmly protected the three of them.

The Desert Eagle couldn't stop in time and crashed into the light shield, bouncing back a long distance.

Wen Xingyu stood in the boundless desert, gazing into the distance. She could see faint golden light shimmering beneath a tall sand dune in the distance.

The mysterious light shone brightly in the sunlight, as if beckoning to her.

Wen Xingyu's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "Could this be the place where the Spirit Pearl we have been searching for all this time is?"

Thinking of this, her heart began to beat faster, and her eyes became even more ardent.

However, this desert was fraught with danger and full of unknown risks, but Wen Xingyu couldn't care less about that at the moment.

She took a deep breath and ran towards the sand dune without hesitation, kicking up a cloud of sand with her feet.

Just as she was running, she suddenly heard a rustling sound behind her.

Wen Xingyu turned around and her expression changed drastically. She saw a group of ferocious sand scorpions rapidly emerging from the sand, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on her.

Meanwhile, several enormous sand eagles circled in the sky, their sharp talons gleaming coldly, seemingly ready to swoop down and tear her to shreds at any moment.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Wen Xingyu showed no sign of backing down.

She gritted her teeth and continued to sprint forward, engaging in a thrilling chase with the relentless sand scorpions and sand eagles.

As Wen Xingyu ran, she drew her soft sword from her waist, turned around, and swung it forcefully at the sand scorpion swarm, splitting several sand scorpions in half.

But the sand scorpions behind them were not afraid and continued to approach rapidly.

A desert eagle in the sky seized the opportunity and swooped down. Wen Xingyu rolled on the ground and narrowly avoided it.

As they approached the dunes, the ground suddenly shook, and a giant sandworm burst forth from the earth, blocking their path.

Wen Xingyu stopped abruptly, a resolute glint in her eyes.

She held her soft sword horizontally in front of her, preparing to deal with the giant sandworm's attack.

Influenced by the crystal ball, Xu Yan was the first to wake up and saw that Wen Xingyu was in danger.

Xu Yan murmured a few words to the crystal ball, and the crystal ball shot out several beams of light that wrapped around the sandworm, making its movements slightly slower.

At this critical moment, Wen Xingyu's eyes were sharp as she kept a close eye on the sand worm's every move, knowing that the opportunity would be fleeting.

She took a deep breath, gathered all her strength in her legs, and seized the moment when the sand worm relaxed its guard, then suddenly leaped up!

The soft sword in his hand moved like lightning, carrying a sharp sword aura as it pierced straight towards the sandworm's head.

In an instant, a shrill scream echoed through the sky.

The sandworm, suffering such a severe blow, was in unbearable pain. It writhed its massive body wildly, and its huge head swung violently.

Because the distance was too close, Wen Xingyu had no time to dodge and was thrown far away like a falling leaf.

Seeing Wen Xingyu in danger, Xu Yan was extremely anxious, but he knew he must not panic.

So he gritted his teeth, flashed forward, and engaged in a fierce struggle with the enraged sandworm.

He was agile and nimble, constantly dodging the sandworms' fierce attacks and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Just as Xu Yan was fiercely fighting the sandworm, Huan Yuechu also woke up.

Upon seeing the scene before her, she immediately joined the battle.

Huan Yuechu formed hand seals and chanted incantations. A flame appeared out of thin air and swept towards the sandworm.

The sandworms, scorched by the flames, became even more agitated.

Xu Yan seized the opportunity to jump onto the sandworm's back and plunged her sword into the sandworm's body.

The sandworm struggled more and more violently, but gradually lost its ability to resist.

On the other side, Wen Xingyu, who had been thrown far away, endured the excruciating pain and quickly got up from the ground.

She didn't bother to check if she was injured; her gaze was fixed on the sand dune not far away.

Because she knew that their target for this adventure was likely hidden there.

Taking advantage of the moment when the sand worm was temporarily held back by Xu Yan, she exerted her strength again without hesitation and ran towards the sand dune at top speed.

Just then, she was pleasantly surprised to discover a hidden entrance to a mechanism at the bottom of the sand dune!

This discovery invigorated her, and without much thought, she immediately set about solving the puzzle before her.

Wen Xingyu carefully examined the mechanism and discovered that it was covered with ancient runes.

Based on her past experience, she attempted to interpret and manipulate the runes, gently tracing her fingers across them and pressing specific combinations.

Suddenly, a hidden door slowly opened, letting out a soft golden light.

But then suddenly a melodious flute sound came from the distant sky, as if it were right next to my ear.

Wen Xingyu was filled with doubt. How could there be the sound of a flute in this desolate desert?

As soon as the flute music started, the sand scorpion and the sand eagle vanished without a trace.

As the sound of the flute grew closer, they saw a figure in a white robe appearing and disappearing in the distance.

The white-clad figure gradually became clearer. This person was tall and upright, with a resolute and cold face, and exuded a powerful and mysterious aura.

It turned out to be a handsome man.

He held a jade flute in his hand, his eyes cold and aloof.

The man slowly asked, "What brings you all here so rashly?"
