Chapter 124 Ancient City Illusion
At this very moment, in the vast desert...
One group of people was leading the charge, another group was chasing in the middle, and there was also a group of enormous centipedes.
They have thousands of legs, are entirely black, and have two fangs that gleam with black light. They exude a certain oppressive feeling that sends chills down your spine!
These giant centipedes move extremely fast in the desert!
Like a rapidly advancing army, it was chasing after two groups of people ahead.
"You little brat, stop right now!"
"Don't run if you dare!"
"Hey Lao Han, are you out of your mind?"
"Don't you even know what's behind you? Only a fool would stop and go to their death with you."
"Kid!"
"Hand over the Desert Mandragora at once!"
"What desert datura? I didn't see it!"
"Holy crap, I, Zhao Mingdeng, saw it with my own eyes as you swept through the crowd and reached out a hand towards that desert datura!"
"You're talking nonsense! I just wanted to grab a handful of sand to keep as a souvenir."
"Boy!"
"Did you kill Wang Heng, a disciple of my Wang family?!"
"no!"
"Don't even think about denying it, the clan elders have already announced your face!"
"Then why the hell did you even ask?! Are you fucking stupid?"
"You...you, you're infuriating!!!"
"..."
The people leading the charge were Lin Que and his group. As for how they ended up in the desert, that has to do with being teleported out of the Void Tree.
Previously, when Lin Que and the others were inside the Void Tree, the teleportation array inside the Void Tree was immediately triggered after the star sand inside the tree was completely collected.
Then everyone was teleported out.
However, to Lin Que and the others' surprise, after being teleported out, they found themselves in a place that was no longer the original dense forest.
Instead, it miraculously appeared in the vast desert.
After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Que and the others came to their senses. They figured that the Star Sand of Opportunity in that dense forest had already been harvested by them, so they were teleported to the next location.
While this is the speculation, the specifics remain unknown.
Then, just as Lin Que and the others were about to get up and leave, they suddenly sensed something wriggling beneath the desert.
This put everyone on high alert!
Before long, the wriggling figures beneath the desert began to emerge one by one.
It turned out to be a group of giant centipedes, completely black, with even their eyes being pitch black, in front of their enormous heads.
It extended two black, gleaming fangs and stared intently at Lin Que and his companions.
The knowledgeable Fairy Cai Li immediately recognized the centipedes.
Just like the Void Mantises before them, these centipedes were also seventh-tier ferocious beasts!
Named: Black Jade Centipede!
However, these ferocious beasts are far more terrifying than those Void Mantises. Not only are they enormous, but their entire black exoskeleton is also incredibly hard.
Moreover, the environment in which this group of black jade centipedes is currently located is the desert, which is most advantageous to them.
This is something Lin Que and his group simply cannot contend with.
With no other option, the group had to flee for their lives.
What Lin Que didn't expect was that he would run into old acquaintances while fleeing for his life, although most of them were enemies.
That's why the scene described earlier happened.
"what!"
"Help...help me!"
"Pfft!"
Just then, shouts rang out from behind!
The series of shouts drew everyone's attention, and they saw that some cultivators with low cultivation levels had been caught up by the Jade Centipede.
In the blink of an eye!
A streak of dark light flashed, and the sharp fangs of the Jade Centipede instantly pierced through the cultivators running at the back.
Seeing this, everyone's running speed doubled again!
"What should we do now?" Fairy Cai Li said helplessly. "There is no way out in this desert."
"When our spiritual energy is exhausted, it won't be long before we are caught up by that group of black jade centipedes."
"Hehehe, that's right~!" Lin Qing'er laughed at this moment, and even had the leisure to tease Lin Que: "Good little brother, hurry up and think of a way!"
"You're the one my sister trusts the most."
"I'm sure you...wouldn't let your sister die here."
"Right?"
In response, Lin Que simply shrugged and said, "What can I do? I'm even more anxious than you are."
"You guys are just being chased by a bunch of centipedes, but I'm being chased by a bunch of centipedes and a bunch of enemies at the same time."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing'er was somewhat surprised!
He exclaimed in surprise, "Little Lin, it seems you're quite adept at causing trouble!"
"What, are all the righteous and demonic paths your enemies?"
Lin Que coughed twice: "Cough...cough cough!"
"so far so good!"
Just as everyone was pondering how to get rid of the group of black jade centipedes, someone with sharp eyes spotted a magical scene in the distance.
And he shouted it out!
"Look!"
"An ancient city has appeared ahead!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze towards the distance.
After taking a look, Lin Que frowned and muttered to himself.
"It's just a mirage..."
as predicted!
In the distance, where the sky meets the earth, an ancient city emerges.
The appearance of this ancient city reveals that, although it covers a relatively large area, it exudes a sense of profound history and vicissitude.
Seeing those dilapidated city walls, it's as if they've endured millions of years of wind and frost.
Strangely, the silhouette of the ancient city swayed slightly in the void, just as Lin Que had said, like a mirage.
What is a mirage?
Lin Qing'er and Fairy Cai Li looked puzzled, since they had never heard of the term "mirage".
I thought Lin Que had made some new discovery.
Lin Que said to the two of them, "A mirage is just like a so-called illusory scene; it's merely a descriptive term."
“Look at that ancient city. It’s shaking violently in the void. Doesn’t it look like an illusion?”
"what?"
"It's true."
After observing carefully, the two women realized that it was indeed the case!
"Do you think this might just be a normal illusion?" Lin Qing'er tilted her head and asked the two of them.
"Maybe... wait!" Lin Que was about to confirm when he immediately realized something was wrong!
The illusory ancient city gradually solidified in the void and stopped shaking.
This caused Lin Que to open his eyes wide!
The mirage...it actually came true?
Then he said to the two women, "Strange! The illusion has actually come true!"
"no solution anymore!"
"Let's go, let's head towards that ancient city."
After saying that, the three of them took the lead and rushed towards the ancient city.
Lin Que couldn't care less about anything else. After all, if he kept running, he didn't know when it would end, even though this ancient city was quite strange.
But there was no extra time to think about it.
Even the people behind them did the same, taking off at full speed and running wildly towards the ancient city.
After a while...
"Hoo~!"
"Finally we're here."
"Look! Those centipedes have stopped!"
Just as Lin Que and his group stepped into the ancient city, a miraculous scene unfolded!
The black jade centipedes that had been chasing the group just moments before suddenly stopped.
It's like... like there's something terrifying in the ancient city.
It terrified them...
