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

Huo Ming held his breath in the void, a glimmer of hope rekindling in his eyes:

"Fight! Start fighting now! It would be best if we all died together!!"

However, at this critical moment...

Inside the hidden whale in the sand sea, inside the pink cake castle.

"Ring ring—ring ring—!!"

A sudden, urgent communication ringtone.

Suddenly, a frantic sound came from the exquisite little bag inlaid with gemstones on the waist of the adorable little girl.

The little girl took it out and looked at it.

The name flashing on the screen,

Her delicate face instantly lost all color!

"Little whale! Let's go! Hurry home!!"

The little girl almost screamed as she transmitted her message to the hidden whale in the sand.

"Too late! Daddy's really going to turn you into pickled fish!!!"

The three words "pickled fish" seem to carry some indescribable terror.

"roar……?"

Just as the Sand Sea Whale was about to launch a fatal attack, its massive body suddenly stiffened!

The anger in those enormous eyes dissipated, replaced by fear!

It was a fear that made it tremble more than the face of death!

Its enormous body trembled slightly.

Then, the hidden whale in the desert did something that left everyone completely baffled.

It abruptly closed its enormous maw, which was gathering energy, and let out a low, anxious growl.

Then, without looking back, it swung its massive body, which was tens of kilometers long, and sped off towards the deepest part of the Yellow Springs Desert as if its life depended on it!

Their speed was so fast that it was impossible for anyone to keep up with them!

After all, if we don't run now, we'll really turn into a steaming bowl of "pickled fish"!

Compared to that, this "minor injury" is nothing at all!

"They...they left??"

"How did this big guy... get away??"

The sudden escape of the sand sea whale left everyone present stunned.

One second they were at loggerheads, locked in a life-or-death struggle.

The next second, the once invincible desert overlord actually... escaped?!

"It must be afraid of the boss! It's been beaten by the boss and it's terrified!"

"Our leader is awesome! He scared away that terrifying monster with just his aura!!!"

After a brief moment of surprise, even more enthusiastic cheers erupted on the Hidden Dragon Flying Boat!

Miao Tiaojun, Xuanyuan Tai, and the others danced with joy, their adoration for Lu Chen practically reaching the heavens.

In their view, this is undoubtedly the best proof of their boss's domineering presence!

Only Lu Chen frowned slightly, watching the huge silhouette of the Sand Sea Whale disappear rapidly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

He clearly felt that the other party's killing intent was real, so why did they suddenly run away without looking back?

"That bastard! Useless trash! He's disgraced all demons!!!"

In the void, Huo Ming trembled with rage, his face turning ashen.

I almost couldn't resist rushing out and yelling at the Sand Sea Whale!

The "lose-lose" situation he had been waiting for, the "reap the benefits" he had been fantasizing about...

All of it vanished like a bubble with the inexplicable escape of the Sand Sea Hidden Whale!

"Damn it...damn it!!!"

How could Lu Chen be so lucky?!

Even a brainless beast like the Sand Sea Whale would desert in the face of battle?!

Huo Ming gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment.

What methods did Lu Chen use?

Not only can it burst out of the belly of a hidden whale in the sand, but it also scares the whale away?

This makes absolutely no sense!

He stared at the two airships that had restarted their journey ahead, his eyes so dark they seemed to drip water.

"It seems that in the end, I'll have to do it myself!"

Huo Ming's eyes were filled with resentment. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and took out the special communicator from his pocket.

He quickly typed in a message and sent it to the cult members who had been lying in wait somewhere in the desert:

"Proceed as planned. The target, Lu Xun, is still alive and is moving towards the designated location."

Soon, a reply came from the other end of the communicator:

"What?! He actually escaped from the belly of the hidden whale in the desert?! Is this guy really that powerful?!"

The other party was clearly also shocked by the news.

That was a place where no one had ever survived according to records!

"I don't know what kind of bizarre method he used to cut a hole in the belly of the sand sea whale and escape!"

Huo Ming himself felt that what he said was somewhat absurd, but it was a fact he had to admit.

"And now? Aren't the hidden whales of the desert hunting them down?" the other party pressed.

Watching the disappearing figure of the Sand Sea Whale, Huo Ming's evil fire surged again, almost crushing the communicator in his hand.

"Don't even mention it! That beast, I don't know what possessed him, after being injured by Lu Chen, not only didn't he seek revenge, but he also ran away like he'd seen a ghost, without looking back!"

"Is that so?"

The person on the other end of the communicator was filled with astonishment.

How could a dominant monster like the Sand Sea Whale actually abandon its prey and run away?

This is simply unheard of.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense!" Huo Ming interrupted impatiently.

"Proceed according to plan, get everything in order, and wait for them to step into the trap! I'll be right there!"

After saying that, he hung up the communication and his figure once again merged into the void, like a cold and venomous snake, following the two flying boats ahead at a distance.

Ahead, Canglong piloted the flying boat, cautiously moving forward under Lu Chen's instructions.

Behind them, Liu Yanyan's palace-like magical artifact followed closely, so close it seemed they might collide at any moment.

Having survived the life-or-death crisis inside the belly of a hidden whale in the desert, they finally understood.

In this deathly desert, to escape Lu Chen's sight and act alone is tantamount to suicide.

The three women wished they could stick to Hidden Dragon's flying boat and seek the most direct protection.

However, judging from Canglong and the others' indifferent attitude, they clearly wouldn't let them board the ship.

They could only clung to the back like three pathetic tails.

The Gem Mask Airship has been completely destroyed.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoqiao could only squeeze into Liu Yanyan's palace magic treasure.

"Why?" Her brows furrowed beneath the mask.

Why didn't Lu Chen come to save me?

"Why don't you protect me with your life like those slaves who kneel at my feet?"

Her mind raced, trying to find a plausible explanation for her "queen fantasy":

Is it because you're shy?

In such a dangerous situation, he was too embarrassed to express his concern for me?

Or is it a lack of self-esteem?

I feel that while his own abilities are not bad, compared to my status as Queen,

There's still a world of difference between them; they dare not approach rashly, for fear of being looked down upon by me.

The more she thought about it, the more her thoughts drifted, and she even started to imagine things.
