Chapter 165 The Wind Is Hot, Time to Run
Actually, the Sahara's labyrinth is quite easy to distinguish. The sand within the labyrinth is different from other sand. When you see red showing through the golden sand, it means you are getting closer and closer to the labyrinth.
They chose the sand dunes as markers, and then released a magical signal every five minutes to ensure that no one went astray and no one disappeared inexplicably.
Of course, when they entered the Sahara Maze, Lu Jie also released vines as thick as a calf to ensure that everyone could retreat quickly in case of unforeseen circumstances.
"Old Lu, I'll stand here. The rest of the way is up to you," Mo Fan said to Lu Jie.
Behind Mo Fan was Mu Ningxue, who was already standing on a sand dune 500 meters away.
The distance doesn't matter, as long as it's no more than a kilometer.
Anyway, there were a lot of them, and they only did a cursory search.
It would be best if we could find the missing African national team, but it's not a big deal if we can't, since they did come looking for them.
Lu Jie was the last baton carrier, and besides being brave, he was also the strongest.
Just then, the long-dormant sign-in system went online.
[Ding! Host has checked in. Congratulations on obtaining the Wood Wind Eagle Armor!]
[This package includes a Wood Light and Shadow Stone, a Wind Eagle Summoning Device, and a Perfect Wood Bloodline. Would you like to claim it?]
Lu Jie's spirits lifted. Holy crap, it's the Wind Eagle Armor summoned by some prince of the Sky Realm!!
"Holy crap!" Lu Jie thought excitedly, but he didn't claim it immediately.
What if some unexpected energy fluctuation occurs when receiving it? Wouldn't that alert the powerful demons of the Sahara?
He said he could escape quickly, but others might not be able to.
Moreover, the Wind Eagle Armor is a kind of dimensional reduction attack in this world, such as the Zen Meditation Seal and the dimensional reduction seal.
Especially the meditation mudra; didn't you see that when Wu Dongshan and Li Nan first met in armor, they were chatting while using the meditation mudra?
As for the many people saying that the meditation mudra is too energy-consuming, in Lu Jie's opinion, that's just because Director Kai Yi thinks the meditation mudra is too overpowered.
So they banned it, otherwise they'd suddenly unleash a Zen Meditation Seal in the middle of a fight, and who could withstand that? Unless they already possessed time-related abilities.
Otherwise, you'll have to obediently accept the punishment of the meditation mudra.
The wood-style vines continued to extend forward, and Lu Jie followed the direction in which the vines stretched.
After walking about 500 meters, Lu Jie looked back. The wood-style vines remained in a straight line, and Mo Fan's shadow was faintly visible amidst the swirling sand.
After searching the area, Lu Jie did not find any trace of the African National Government team.
So he continued to delve deeper, and Mo Fan, who was behind Lu Jie, couldn't help but get anxious as he saw the magical signals Lu Jie was releasing going deeper and deeper.
"Damn it, if you can't find it, you can't find it. Why keep going deeper in?" Mo Fan couldn't help but curse when he saw this.
He looked back at Mu Ningxue and found that they were in a straight line, so he started walking forward.
On the other side, Lu Jie continued to venture deeper and discovered a sand fox in addition to the sand.
"Finally, I've encountered some locals." Lu Jie immediately activated his senses and discovered something like tents in the distance.
He walked over there, swept away the sand covering it, and pulled a green tent out of the sand pile.
The tent appeared to be severely damaged, riddled with holes and torn to pieces.
The surrounding sand also contains food, water, and medicine that hunters need when they go out.
Judging from the extent of the sand burial, Lu Jie deduced that someone had been here not long ago.
Or perhaps these things were swept here by strong sandstorms.
Lu Jie set up the tent and released a magical signal, hoping that the lost people would have some sense and come back.
That's all he can do. It's right to take money to solve problems for others, but he should only do so if he can ensure his own safety. Otherwise, he might not be able to save his own life. If he takes money but can't solve the problem, he might even lose his own life.
Following the wood vines back, Lu Jie found Mo Fan and said, "Let's go. Luckily, we had the wood vines to guide us, otherwise we would have gone completely astray."
Mo Fan nodded, and then followed the wood vines to Mu Ningxue. In the same way, they went to Mu Nujiao, Jiang Shaoxu, and Jiang Yu.
The last two to remain were Nan Yu and Zhao Manyan, but they did not release any magical signals.
Everyone's expression immediately changed; something had happened!
So they continued along the Wood Release vines, and thankfully Lu Jie would make the vines take root at each marker to prevent them from veering off course due to unforeseen circumstances.
They hadn't gone far when the Wood Release vines connecting them disappeared. Lu Jie placed his hand on the broken Wood Release vines, and plant-type magical energy surged out, causing the broken vines to continue extending straight forward.
The group continued forward, and soon they saw golden sand, indicating that they were about to leave the outer edge of the labyrinth.
After they finally emerged from the maze, before they could even catch their breath, they saw a sandstorm sweeping towards them from not far away. The swirling sand and dust startled them.
"Get out of here!" Mo Fan shouted.
The others hurriedly ran away into the distance.
The swirling sandstorm seemed to be carrying something, and it even uttered a language similar to that of humans, with eyes that were almost identical, filled with resentment and hatred.
It kept chasing after Lu Jie and the others, but it didn't attack them; it just drove them away.
The world was covered in yellow dust, and the thick, rolling yellow sand looked like a mudslide sweeping into the sky, making people tremble with fear at the sight.
"Damn it, the sandstorm is still chasing us!" Jiang Yu looked back and couldn't help but scream.
"Run! Stop talking so much nonsense!" Mo Fan summoned the old wolf, which carried Mu Ningxue and Jiang Shaoxu, and they ran very fast.
Mu Nujiao then spread her wings of wind and flew forward with Lu Jie.
Jiang Yu could only summon a random beast and have it carry him around.
Soon, they bumped into two people on the road, Zhao Manyan and Nan Jue.
Before the two could even greet Lu Jie and the others, they saw the endless yellow sand and turned to run without a second thought.
After all, they had just encountered this thing before, and if Zhao Manyan hadn't had the winged magic tool, they would have been finished long ago.
It chased, they fled!
No one knows how long they ran, but finally they reached a place where they could see the sea.
However, the sandstorm did not stop, and even after hitting the ocean, it showed no signs of abating, and the nearshore area was soon covered with a layer of yellow sand.
The group, sitting atop a water beast summoned by Jiang Yuxin, were deeply shocked by what they saw.
This sandstorm directly filled the near-shore area, which is equivalent to the Sahara expanding its territory by adding a portion of its landmass.
"Holy crap, what the hell is going on?" Zhao Manyan couldn't help but curse.
They almost died inside this thing just now, and now it's happening again.
"Damn it, I'll never come to the Sahara again, it's too damn scary!" Mo Fan patted his chest and said.
After drifting on the sea for an unknown amount of time, they finally reached land.
Looking back, the nearshore area covered by yellow sand had become a small yellow dot.
"Let's go, follow the coastline, and meet up with the captain and the others in Egypt."
