He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Just then.

"Buzz—!!!"

A deep tremor came from below without warning!

The sand grains danced, and a heart-pounding sense of oppression swept over them!

"not good!"

Zhu Qingqing's expression changed drastically as she caught a glimpse of something in Lu Chen's hair. She finally remembered and immediately sent an urgent telepathic message to Lu Chen:

"Husband! Run!"

Get out of here at all costs!

This is not a ruin!

This is a 'hidden whale in the desert'!

The monstrous predator of the desert, enormous in size, and we were right next to its jaws!

"What? Whales hiding in the desert?"

Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat. Although he had never heard of this beast before, Zhu Qingqing's panicked warning...

The terrifying tremor beneath his feet made him instantly realize the impending danger!

However, it was too late.

Lu Chen hadn't even uttered the word "leave" yet,

The "scene" below has undergone a dramatic change!

The entire "ruin city" came back to life!

The yellow sand surged outwards like a tsunami, spreading wildly to both sides.

A gaping maw suddenly emerged from the sea of ​​sand!

The enormous mouth opened at an angle exceeding 180 degrees.

The interior is made of sharp teeth like mountains.

Each one shimmered with a dark metallic luster.

The stench instantly filled the space for miles around!

The sunlight was completely blocked, and the sky seemed to have turned into night!

The abyssal maw rose at an unimaginable speed, with an overwhelming momentum, its target being the three flying ships!

"ah--!!!"

"No--!!!"

Liu Yanyan and Wang Xiaoqiao screamed.

A tremendous suction force swept over.

They simply didn't have time to make any effective adjustments.

The magnificent palaces, magical artifacts, jeweled masks, and flying boats swirled like leaves in a storm.

Sweeped along by an irresistible force,

It tumbled and plummeted toward that bottomless maw.

On the Hidden Dragon Flying Boat, everyone's face was deathly pale.

"Hold on! Unleash your full power! Stabilize the airship!!"

Hidden Dragon's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his fat face, as he pushed the control lever to its limit.

The tail of the airship spewed out blazing flames.

Trying to fight against that terrible suction.

Miao Tiaojun, Xuanyuan Tai, and others also desperately poured their spiritual power into the protective array of the flying boat.

However, their resistance seemed so insignificant in the face of a dominant species like the sand sea whale.

The airship rocked and spun violently, the light from the protective shield flickering wildly, emitting a creaking sound as it struggled under the strain.

Inside the ship, everything that wasn't properly secured was being thrown around wildly, crashing against the bulkheads with a clattering sound like billiard balls.

"oops!"

Holy crap!

Xuanyuan Tai and Miao Tiaojun, the two largest in terms of weight,

Like two giant balls, they kept hitting the bulkhead, making dull "thump-thump" sounds.

The impact made me see stars and feel dizzy.

Lu Chen's expression was also extremely solemn.

Without the slightest hesitation, his mind raced: "Expand the domain! Mark it!"

In an instant, a ghostly green light swiftly enveloped everyone inside the Hidden Dragon Flying Boat.

It even covered the flying boats of Liu Yanyan and Wang Xiaoqiao, which were not far away!

The familiar green runes flashed across everyone's bodies.

Ensure their safety.

The next moment, a feeling of weightlessness came over me, and endless darkness swallowed everything.

The three airships, along with everyone inside, were swallowed into the giant maw without any resistance.

Outside, the hidden whale in the sand sea had finished swallowing and closed its huge mouth with satisfaction.

Its enormous, breathtaking body slowly emerged completely from the sea of ​​sand.

The "ruins city" that everyone saw before,

It's just a small area on its back near the tail fin!

Its true size is tens of kilometers long, resembling a mountain range moving through the yellow sand!

"roar--!!!"

The hidden whale in the desert let out a deafening roar, the sound waves stirring up towering sands.

It was quite pleased with this "delivered dessert," and after a slight sway, it prepared to dive into the depths of the sand to enjoy it slowly.

"Hahahaha!!!"

"God help me!!"

In the void, Huo Ming could no longer contain himself; his figure materialized, and he let out a hearty laugh.

"Lu Chen! No matter how high your talent or how strange your strength, you are still an ant in front of this level 230 desert overlord!"

There has never been a case of anyone being swallowed by a hidden whale in the desert and coming out alive!

This time, you will surely die...

However, his maniacal laughter came to an abrupt halt.

Because the dark eyes of the hidden whale in the sand sea, larger than a giant villa, suddenly turned.

It locked onto the "little bug" in the air.

Being stared at by that gaze, Huo Ming felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, enveloped by the threat of death!

He knew all too well how terrifying this monster was!

"roar--!"

The sand sea whale was annoyed by the buzzing of this "fly."

A violent surge of energy,

The next moment, a terrifying suction force that distorted space suddenly erupted.

It precisely covered the location of Huo Ming!

The suction was so strong that the space collapsed!

Huo Ming's expression changed drastically, and his hair stood on end!

He dared not linger any longer; a burst of red light erupted from his body.

He unleashed his most powerful spatial escape technique.

The figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

They appeared in a disheveled state thousands of meters in the air.

"puff--"

The space where he had just been was torn open into a black hole, filled with terrifying power.

High in the air, Huo Ming was panting heavily, still shaken, his back soaked with cold sweat.

"That beast... its senses are so sharp! I almost fell for its trick!"

He felt a chill run down his spine.

Even someone of his level would be severely injured, if he had been hit by that attack.

"Ring ring... Ring ring..."

Just then, the communicator in his arms rang.

He calmed his breathing and answered the call.

An impatient voice came from the other end of the communicator:

"Where are they? Have they reached the designated rendezvous point? We've been lying in ambush on the edge of this godforsaken desert for days!"

Huo Ming's lips curled up, his tone filled with barely suppressed excitement:

"I guess you won't need to do anything."

The target group had just been swallowed whole by a level 230 'Sand Sea Hidden Whale'!

"I'm inside that monster's belly now!"

"A whale hiding in the desert?"

The other party was silent for two seconds, their tone tinged with suspicion.

Are you sure?

How could such a dominant monster appear in the outer area?

"And we might as well swallow them whole?"

"Absolutely true! I saw it with my own eyes!" Huo Ming affirmed. "It seems even the heavens are on our side; the mission is much simpler than we imagined."

"..."

The person on the other end of the communicator silently processed the good news.

After a moment, the voice rang out again:

"In that case, let's go back first. This desert is simply uninhabitable."

"Go and explain to those above."

"Wait!" Huo Ming's eyes flickered, and out of caution, he called out to the other person.

"Stay a few days longer before you leave!"

Wait for my message at the base!

Once I have confirmed Lu Chen's death,

"Once the Hidden Whale in the Sand Sea has finished digesting, you can take the artifact back to report!"

"..."

The person on the other end of the communicator was furious at Huo Ming's request and was internally cursing him.

It's important to know that the mortality rate for being swallowed by a hidden whale in the desert is 99.9%.

Letting them stay is just a waste of their time, isn't it?

This damn desert is completely barren; let them eat dirt!

After a few seconds of silence, under pressure from his superiors, the other party still replied curtly with a single word: "Fine!"

The communication was disconnected.

Huo Ming put away the communicator and turned his gaze downwards again.

The sand sea whales have calmed down again and are swimming slowly in the sand sea.

They began their daily "eating" routine.
