Chapter 179 - 164: Don’t Worry, I’m Here
The horde of Red Sand Scorpion Beasts surged rapidly, tumultuous and overwhelming, with red sand reaching up to the sky, stirring the vast desert.
All the trialists’ faces changed color. With millions of Red Sand Scorpions, although these scorpions were only Acquired second or third-rank demon beasts, with such an overwhelming number, even a Martial God would likely turn tail and flee.
"How could so many Red Sand Scorpions appear without any warning?" a trialist asked, puzzled. With such numbers, it was impossible for them to appear without some kind of sign.
Yet there had been no warning, it had come too suddenly.
But at this moment, a Demon Flood Dragon crawled out, raising its dragon head high, and let out a deep roar towards the gateway to the Mysterious Heaven and Earth.
Ye Chen’s expression changed subtly because he sensed an odd fluctuation coming from the gateway of Mysterious Heaven and Earth—it was the fluctuation of Divine Sense, and he had an epiphany.
"Esteemed lords, how should we respond to all this?"
Many trialists looked towards the princes and princesses who were the most powerful among those present and had control over heavy weapons, naturally considering them the core.
"Our current options are either to flee this oasis or to battle," mused the Thirteenth Prince of the Jiuhua Empire, but many trialists paled at the thought. How could they escape?
The Great Desert wasn’t merely a few dozen miles across, but stretched on for thousands of miles, vast and extensive.
This oasis was located at the center of the desert; even if they considered fleeing, escape was hardly guaranteed. Moreover, there was too little of nature’s spiritual energy in the desert. Also, the cost of True Essence was significant. It was better at night, but during the day, they had to circulate True Essence constantly to resist the harsh heat, and within an hour they would be exhausted and weakened.
