781 Chapter 781 “The Sphinx is Here!“
"Let's go out of the land first, hurry!" Long Ao Zhen shouted as he dragged Li Shi Ying with him. He just saw a few human running toward their place and his instinct told him that they also had to run. Those humans must be a fellow cultivator so for them to run like their life was on the line…
It shows how serious this sand storm is!
"Yeah let's go!" Li Shi Ying nodded her head in agreement and quickly gave everyone speed talisman to be used. She was afraid of the sand storm but at a time like this, one had to be calm to survive. She can't freeze on the spot and become a burden to everyone!
They had just walked for a few minutes from the entrance so their chance of survival would be the highest among these people here, right? It would be alright.
Li Shi Ying and the others had just about to run away from the sand land when they saw the entrance was suddenly closed with a thick wall of sand. The wall appeared out of nothing and trapped the people inside the land. There's no way out anymore!
The sound of the sand moving could be heard loud and clear adding the fear to anyone who sees the wall in front of their eyes.
"What the?!" Li Shi Ying subconsciously shouted in response. The girl stopped running when she saw the huge wall 10-20 meters high appeared in front of her. She couldn't believe it that a sand wall suddenly appeared in less than a second!
"This must be the work of that sphinx! She's trapping everyone here just what's going on? Usually, the sphinx won't bother anyone if no one bothers her" Di Yu squinted his eyes as he tried to find a way out from the land. The sand wall was surprisingly thick even though it's supposed to be made of mere sand.
The Sphinx must imbue a lot of spiritual energy inside the sand wall to make it this hard.
"Don't tell me someone already got the cactus?" Li Shi Ying suddenly stumbles upon this particular thought. The only thing that could make the sphinx goes crazy enough to trap everyone inside the land would only if someone stole the cactus she guarded!
"If that's true then this is bad. Not only we lose the cactus we also can't go out! Big sis let's try your teleportation talisman" Di Yu had checked the wall and upon noticing that he couldn't destroy it with his power, the boy quickly asked Li Shi Ying to activate the teleportation talisman.
They had to get out no matter what. Having Long Ao Zhen using his aura alone won't be enough since Jiu Wei said the sphinx was immune to mythological beast's aura.
This means they could only beat her if Long Ao Zhen turned into his dragon form. His power won't be too strong in his human form after all. But imagine having a dragon suddenly appeared here won't that cause commotion?
Long Ao Zhen might get punished again!
"It's no use! Somehow I can't use the teleportation talisman" Li Shi Ying face gradually went pale when she can't activate the teleportation talisman. There must be a disturbance here. The Sphinx might use the same method as Xi Xue to prevent anyone from entering her territory using teleportation.
"Damn it...your highness can you break this wall?" Di Yu gritted his teeth as he asked Long Ao Zhen to try breaking the wall. The sand storm was getting closer and his feeling told him that the sphinx was also behind the sand storm for whatever reason.
"I can't. My strength isn't enough to even make a hole here. This beast must already be at the very top of the beast hierarchy. Added to the immunity against sacred beast aura...this beast might be the strongest beast I ever saw"
Long Ao Zhen shook his head and sighed. He could easily break the wall if he was in his dragon form but his human form restricted half of his power. Who knows that the sacred beast they faced now would be this strong?
The legend that said this beast could beat 4 sacred beasts all at once might not be a mere legend!
"Oh my...what should we do then?" Li Shi Ying kneaded her temple when she knew even Long Ao Zhen couldn't help them. Should they let this dragon fight the sphinx? Who the hell stole the cactus anyway? Now they couldn't do anything other than surviving!
"Let's make a barrier and wait for the sphinx to come. We still need the cactus so might as well risk it all to ask the sphinx if she knows who stole it from her" Long Ao Zhen pulled Li Shi Ying closer and covered the girl's eyes with his palm.
The sand might get into his bunny's eyes and hurt her. He couldn't let that happened.
"Uh okay, barrier it is" Li Shi Ying felt her cheek slowly became hotter than before when she felt the man's hand on her eyes. The girl let Long Ao Zhen do whatever he was doing as she activated the metal barrier she had in her storage space.
Somehow...getting protected like this by this man...felt familiar. She couldn't remember any of it but the feeling was there. It was warm and comfortable. She felt super safe as if nothing in this world would be able to harm her with this man protecting her.
"The Sphinx is here!" Di Yu who was silently watching the couple spreading dog food, suddenly shouted making both Li Shi Ying and Long Ao Zhen looked up.
