The entire corridor was overwhelmed by the huge body of the sand snake, and countless clods of earth fell down in a flutter, and everyone followed the tail of the sand snake closely while dodging.

"Boom-" There was a loud bang, and there seemed to be a collapse of the soil layer ahead, and a large amount of dust squeezed through the gap between the sand snake's body and the cave wall. Chu Yunyi hurriedly raised the wind gust and protected everyone inside.

After the dust cleared, everyone was horrified to find that the sand snake was gone, and there was only a dark and empty Yongdao cave in front of everyone.

Cui Tianxiao walked forward and asked, "Where did you go?" ”

Just as he was about to walk forward to take a look, Chu Yunyi shouted: "Ah Xiao, come back!" ”

The sand snake drilled through another giant corridor, which was much larger than the body of the sand snake, which formed a space that could be returned, and at the moment the sand snake was turning around.

The orange body of the sand snake appeared in the corridor again, but unlike just now, this time it was the head of the sand snake that was facing them.

The entire head of the sand snake was occupied by a huge mouthpart, wrapped by three valves, and at this moment, the three valves opened like orchids, revealing the abyss-like esophagus inside and the teeth arranged in a ring like a crusher, and bit towards Cui Tianxiao.

The sudden change made Cui Tianxiao too late to escape, and he could only watch the mouthparts of the sand snake envelop him.

Just when Cui Tianxiao closed his eyes in despair and waited for death, a rope was thrown out from behind and wrapped around his waist. In the next second, Cui Tianxiao was pulled back by a strong force, dodging the abyssal giant mouth of the sand snake.

Pulling Cui Tianxiao back to the team in time, Li Xing grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, pushed him forward, and shouted: "Run!" ”

The four of them ran forward desperately, and Chu Yunyi tried his best to manipulate the airflow to help several people increase their speed to the maximum.

Although everyone is already fast, the sand snake has the advantage of size, and a slight move forward can shorten the distance between the two infinitely.

The sand snake does not have eyes or nose, but it can sense its surroundings by relying on the tactile cells distributed on the soft epidermis of its head.

The more the four of them ran, the louder the movement, the more they attracted the attention of the sand snake. The sand snake's mouthparts valves flickered one by one, and began to actively devour four small things that dared to poke its ass.

A huge suction force came from behind him, and Li Xing turned around, just in front of the abyssal giant mouth of the sand snake, and the heat hit his face with a strong body odor, which was simply suffocating.

Li Xing frowned in displeasure, she didn't know if this was the only adult sand snake alive, Li Xing didn't hurt it, he was unwilling to bear the karma of extinction of the population, but it didn't mean that the sand snake could threaten her safety unscrupulously.

The monk should be decisive in killing, and the most effective way to deal with the threat is to eradicate it!

Li Xing no longer showed mercy, and with a single move, the three thousand lotus appeared behind the four of them with a scorching wave of hellish karmic fire, instantly turning into a wall of fire and blocking the sand snake.

"——!"

Feeling the scorching heat that burned everything in front of him, the sand snake stopped in fear. But the simple body structure makes its reflex arc particularly long, the head has stopped, and the tail end is still moving forward.

Under the effect of inertia, the head of the sand snake unexpectedly had an accident, and it was scorched by nearly a third of the three thousand lotus.

If it were replaced by other star beasts, it would have died a long time ago after being so seriously injured, but the simple structure of the sand snake's body also made its vitality extremely vigorous. Still, the sand snake let out a high-pitched roar, its deformed mouthparts and valves trembling like chaff, and the grinder's teeth gurgling.

The three thousand lotus in Xiao Lu's hand transformed into a fire phoenix, flapping its wings and hovering in front of the sand snake's head, making a silent mockery at it.

Star beasts all have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the sand snake has no heart to chase the four humans at all now, and there is only one thing left in his mind, escape!

Seeing the sand snake's fear, Sanqianlian swooped down on it playfully, and the sand snake immediately gave up its intention to go backwards.

I saw that it raised its head as best its might, opened its deformed mouthparts valve, bit the soil layer at the top of the tunnel and swallowed it into its abdomen, like a shield machine, escaping upwards at maximum speed.

Seeing that the sand snake had escaped, Ye Qingting's hanging heart fell to the ground, and he turned his head to look at Li Xing, who was holding his shoulders and calmly "manipulating Yuan Huo".

Ye Qingting sighed, everyone is a Tianjia-level Yuan Ling, but in terms of ferocity, he is really not as good as Li Xing!

How old Li Xingcai is, she will get stronger and stronger in the future, and to be a friend and teammate with her, you have to adapt to this feeling of self-esteem being rubbed often.

Everyone waited for five minutes before the last tail of the sand snake fully entered the corridor, and Li Xing threw out the rope and tied it to the scales of the sand snake. After testing the sturdiness of the rope, Li Xing nodded with satisfaction.

"Everyone, keep up, this time it shouldn't dare to run around."

After speaking, Li Xing's body was dragged by the sand snake, and he entered the corridor like an elevator. The other three grabbed the rope in turn and hung it under Li Xing.

The Three Thousand Lotuses hovered at the feet of everyone, not only responsible for lighting, but also to deter the sand silkworms and the star beasts that tried to sneak up on them.

——————

Ruoye Desert.

It was early in the morning, more than eight hours after the disappearance of the four students.

At this time, the desert should be the darkest and most peaceful of the day, the good dreams of the sun planet beast are in full swing, and the night planet beast enjoys the feast, licks its hair, and prepares for the dawn.

But today was different from the past, the seventeen makeshift camps were brightly lit, the planes came and went, and the light of the teleportation array pierced the darkness one after another.

The shouts of humans, the sound of slogans, the deafening sound of huge machinery, completely broke the silence of the desert. The fluctuations of elemental power emanating from the powerful primordial spirit made countless low-level star beasts tremble.

As the temporary head of the rescue team, Wang Shun needs to constantly travel through the 17 exits to convey orders and assign tasks. At this moment, he had already joined Chu Baili, and the two of them came to the largest exit number nine together.

Eight hours of high mental tension, even if it is a Tianjia-level Yuan Ling person, he can't bear it, Wang Shun's eyebrows show two deep vertical lines, and his headache is cracking.

Chu Baili clasped his hands in his sleeves and rubbed them anxiously.

"Wang Shun, there is no news yet?"

Wang Shun shook his head: "Not yet." ”

"Have you found any other sixteen exits?"

"Not either."

"Alas——!"

The wrinkles at the corners of Chu Baili's eyes and eyebrows were much deeper, as if he was ten years old.

The accident of the military academy Dabi had already been reported back to the Elders' House, and Ji Jingtang sent Chen Luxi and Xiang Wuya to assist Chu Baili in thoroughly investigating the matter.

With the strong participation of the two elders, except for the First Army, the other three legions all sent the most powerful interrogators.

After a thorough investigation, the Xiyuan competition team is really not clean. So far, a total of more than 60 people involved have been arrested, all of whom are leaders and cadres in important positions, and even the deputy head of the competition team has been arrested.

The deputy team leader is the highest-ranking of these people, and is undoubtedly the target of interrogation.

According to him, a mysterious person began contacting him ten years ago. At first, he was just asked to do a little harmless favor within the scope of his authority. If he can do it, the man will pay him a very good amount, but even if the deputy leader refuses, the man will give him a thank you gift.

According to the deputy team leader, this person is very measured, which makes people completely disgusted, and his way of bribing is very safe, and professionals can't find any clues. Under the temptation of money, the deputy leader fell.

After actually becoming the partner of the mysterious man, the deputy team leader also asked the person's identity, but he has always been tight-lipped and always wears a mask when meeting the deputy team leader. He rarely gives orders to the deputy leader, and at most three times a year, all low-risk tasks.

In this competition, the person just asked the deputy team leader to deliberately ignore the flag area in the final acceptance link.

The deputy team leader thought that since there were no abnormal reports in the previous inspections, it didn't matter if the final acceptance was not reviewed, so he agreed.

It wasn't until the East Window incident that the deputy team leader realized how much of a mistake he had made.
