Chapter 132: Ready to Go
The sandstorm was lessening, and the howling winds were weakening, making it easier to see figures running around in panic, being entangled by sand snakes, and hear the desperate screams of fear.
"Stay strong, we must stay strong!" Gu Fan tried to remain calm, but every now and then, when a sand snake streaked past them not far away, it pushed his nerves to the limit.
They didn’t know how long the sandstorm had lasted, and standing still was becoming unbearable. Their legs were now buried in the sand, and it was a struggle to move.
"Are we really doomed to be buried alive in the sand, even if the sand snakes don’t eat us? Do we have no other choice?" Just when Gu Fan felt helpless, thankfully the sandstorm finally ceased.
They checked the time and realized the sandstorm had lasted for six hours. After the storm, all traces of life seemed to have disappeared, except for them struggling in the sand.
Using his height advantage, Gu Fan was the first to free himself. Without resting, he quickly dug out the sand around Lin Xi, rescuing her.
Su Hui was capable enough to free herself without help, but it left her completely exhausted. She could only sit on the ground, panting. It was indeed a thrilling experience.
After rescuing Lin Xi, Gu Fan couldn’t dig anymore. He looked at Du Jun and Qin Jia, who were still trapped in the sand, desperately in need of assistance.
At that moment, familiar shouts rang out, bringing Gu Fan immense joy. Upon turning back, he saw that it was Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin. Astonishingly, everyone was there and alive.
They had relied on the mountain to withstand the sandstorm. As they remained still, they did not attract the attention of the sand snakes.
Ouyang Jin, who was riding a massive camel, deterred the sand snakes. His herd of fifteen camels running around scared the snakes. Even one snake could get crushed under their weight.
