Chapter 324 I'm Talking About Brotherhood in the Jianghu.
"No wonder this place is listed as a forbidden area."
Although Xuan Mo's expression was solemn, he calmly stroked his chin, looking knowing. "Besides the terrible weather and the terrifying black sandstorm, this terrifying soul beast called 'Death Army Ant' should also be one of the reasons..."
At the same time, unlike Xuan Mo, "Damn it! I didn't expect to have such bad luck this time. First, a black sandstorm, and now we've run into Death Army Ants!"
Dong Tianchi and his men were completely unable to calm down. Looking at the Death Army Ants, which were as big as finger joints, cold sweat poured out of their mouths.
Because once trapped by these Death Army Ants, unless you have wings, no matter if you are a soul beast or a soul master, you will never be able to escape from their jaws.
Amid the noise, Ma Hongjun also learned from Dong Tianchi and the others how terrifying this soul beast was.
So when he saw that Xuan Mo remained unmoved, he quickly got up and walked towards him.
"Brother Mo, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? Retreat first, then think of a solution!"
Seeing this, Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun called out to Dong Tianchi and the others, then retreated at lightning speed.
At the same time, they observed their surroundings and considered their strategy.
"Look! There's an even bigger sand pile!"
Hearing this, everyone looked in the direction Verus pointed, and saw that right where they had just been, suddenly, a large number of Death Army Ants surged out of the sand pile.
In an instant, they covered the corpses of the Black Sand Dragon and the Desert Rock Python. Moreover, not long after, two skeletons were pushed out of the sand pile by the Death Army Ants.
"Damn! That's all that's left?!"
Ma Hongjun exclaimed, feeling a chill run down his spine.
And people like Dong Tianchi and the others, after seeing this chilling scene, widened their eyes and even their breath froze.
Those who had been observing the battle knew just how terrifying the scales of the Black Sand Dragon and the Desert Rock Python were.
During the initial clash, both Dong Tianchi and Ma Hongjun had expended considerable effort to break through their scales.
Even Xuan Mo had only managed to destroy the two soul beasts' internal structures and shatter their brains using a technique that attacked from a distance.
But now, in less than a breath, the corpses of the two soul beasts had been completely reduced to skeletons.
"Fatty, set them on fire first!"
Upon hearing Xuan Mo's command, Ma Hongjun immediately unfurled his fire wings and took to the air, activating his fifth soul skill.
"Phoenix Meteor Shower!"
In an instant, flames burst forth.
In the eyes of Dong Tianchi and the others, streaks of fire rained down upon the Death Army Ants' swarm, instantly creating a blazing sea of fire across the Gobi Desert.
But before they could even catch their breath, the sea of fire erupted with an even greater commotion than before.
Amidst the acrid smell of burning, a gaping hole was torn open in the sea of fire, and then, with a sudden "bang," a massive swarm of Death Army Ants poured out.
Leading them were over a dozen Death Army Ants the size of lambs! Their mouthparts were far more ferocious and terrifying than those of ordinary Death Army Ants.
Clearly, these giant Death Army Ants leading the swarm and tearing through the fire were all at the ten-thousand-year cultivation level.
"Not good! Quick, we have to get out of here!"
Seeing the dire situation, Dong Tianchi and his companions hurriedly retrieved flying soul tools from their storage soul tools.
After all, the last resort to evade the Death Army Ants' attacks was to fly high into the sky, away from the ground.
However, for a Soul Master to fly, besides possessing a flying martial soul, they needed to break through to the ninth ring of cultivation before they could even begin to traverse the air for extended periods.
Therefore, as mercenaries, Dong Tianchi and his group had naturally prepared for this situation in advance.
However, just as Dong Tianchi and the others had equipped their flying soul tools, and the tools, infused with soul power, rapidly emitted two beams of white light, propelling them upwards, Dong Tianchi froze, staring at Xuan Mo and the other man.
"Big brother, what are you trying to do?!"
At this moment, Verus had clearly noticed Dong Tianchi's unusual behavior. Knowing his older brother well, he immediately understood Dong Tianchi's intentions.
"We can't abandon these two young brothers."
"Big brother!"
While he understood, Verus couldn't comprehend Dong Tianchi's actions. In this situation, there was no time to concern himself with Xuan Mo and the other man, strangers he had just met.
"Brother, you already did more than enough by reminding them about the sinking sand and the black sandstorm. Why bother with them now?"
Before Verus could finish speaking, Dong Tianchi reprimanded him, "I've been wandering the martial world for many years, relying on brotherhood and loyalty. Otherwise, why would you brothers follow me?!"
"But this flying soul tool isn't superfluous…"
"No need to say more."
Dong Tianchi interrupted Verus, piloting the flying soul tool towards Xuan Mo and the other man.
At this moment, Xuan Mo was watching the ant swarm gradually approaching, but which Ma Hongjun had barely managed to block.
However, thanks to his mental power, he had heard every word of Dong Tianchi and the others' conversation.
Actually, Xuan Mo felt no displeasure at Verus's words; on the contrary, he agreed. If it were him, his previous actions would have been sufficient when encountering strangers.
But what surprised him was that Dong Tianchi insisted on taking the two outsiders away, defying everyone's objections. This surprised Xuan Mo.
Dong Tianchi didn't seem like a mercenary to him; he seemed more like a wandering swordsman.
At this moment, Dong Tianchi flew to Xuan Mo and said urgently.
"Brother Xuanmo, you and Brother Ma should leave with us quickly. Brother Ma has a flying martial soul, so don't worry. But you can't fly, so I'll take you away."
Upon hearing this, Xuanmo looked up at the flying soul tool carrying the burly man Dong Tianchi, who was already swaying precariously, and was immediately alarmed. Then…
"Thank you, Brother Dong, but I have my own way."
Xuanmo felt a surge of gratitude, but he still had reservations about Dong Tianchi taking him flying. So, he shouted to Ma Hongjun, "Fatty! Throw the rope! We're retreating!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun immediately understood Xuanmo's meaning and sprayed another line of fire ahead, temporarily blocking the ant swarm's progress.
He then took out a hemp rope, tied one end around his waist, and threw the other end to Xuanmo.
Clearly, he had already planned to take off.
