1293 Here Comes the Sandstorm (1/2)
”Xiaobei! Have you lost your mind? We can't make it to the Black Desert without water!”
Luo Puti's mind was reeling with a million worries.
Finding Black Desert was at the top of her priorities. She had to find her parents. Without water to pull through the journey, her plan would just vanish into dust.
”Silly wife!” Chen Xiaobei smiled. ”I've told you before. Serious though, when it comes to this, your IQ is basically non-existent! Trust me will you. Since when have I ever lied to you?”
”I...” Luo Puti opened her mouth to speak but panic set in.
Zhuo Qunfeng advised, ”Mr. Chen, maybe you should just humble yourself before elder Shixiong. You know... say some nice things to him and once his anger had died down, he probably won't find ways to trouble you anymore!”
”Say nice things to him?! More like dislocating his bones!” Chen Xiaobei growled.
Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding'ao were all out to kill Chen Xiaobei.
And based on Chen Xiaobei's past behavioural patterns, those who attempted to kill him would most likely end up defunct.
If it wasn't for the fear of the expedition being plugged, Chen Xiaobei would not have just stopped at merely sending the Crimson Wolf Spider to bite the two bastards; he would have also sent them on a hellish ride.
”Er…”
As he realized Chen Xiaobei had made his final decision, Zhuo Qunfeng made no further comment. He would never want to experience having his bones dislocated ever again in his lifetime.
”Xiaobei! What is it that you're thinking? Tell me now!”
Luo Puti was getting antsy.
”Silly girl! Have you forgotten the time I brought you around flying?”
Chen Xiaobei turned his palm over to reveal a golden bracelet.
”Oh!” Luo Puti smacked her temple. ”No wonder! I really am silly!”
”Hah!” Chen Xiaobei laughed.
”What are you laughing at? Stop it! I swear I'll beat you up if you're not gonna stop laughing.”
As the two dissolved into laughter, a sudden gust of wind clouded the blue skies.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Far ahead in the horizon, the wind whipped up the yellow sands to form a giant sand wave that wasa about a few hundred meters tall.
The sky was now shrouded by the storm; dark and sober.
As the gale thrusted powerfully, the sandstorm rolled towards the expedition group.
The sand under their feet began to wobble, and streamed over their soles like a rapid!
If they remain where they were standing, they would be completely buried in less than a minute.
They would be trapped under the mountain of sand, imprisoned forever.
”Is… is this the sandstorm? God, it's frightening!”
”That's strange! It's still noon! We haven't even reached the mark on the map! How could there be possibly a sandstorm now?”
”What should we do? Elder Shixiong! What should we do now?”
The group began to scream in panic.
All of them had heard of the petrifying and haunting sandstorm. Now that they were facing one themselves, they completely lost their nerves.
Even Luo Puti was beginning to freak out. ”It's over. If this really is a sandstorm, then this expedition is over.”
As usual, Chen Xiaobei was stolid as ever. ”Don't be afraid. This sandstorm is not too big. The force of the wind is only about 100,000 combat power. Nothing to get all panicky about.”
Right after he said this, Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding'ao stood up.
”Everybody! Please don't panic! This sandstorm is not major! Watch me push away in one move!”
Zhou Xiaokun had a conceited look on his face as he stepped forward, and charged towards the incoming sandstorm.
