What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

Liu Bo, carrying Wei Xiaoran, rolled rapidly to the side across the ground. They only came to a stop when their backs hit a protruding black rock.

Dust fell from the sky.

Liu Bo pushed himself up from the ground with one hand, his dark blue combat suit now completely turned grayish-brown.

He raised his hand, wiped the mud and sand off his face, looked at the large crater created by the boulder next to him, and patted his chest.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey—"

"My goodness, that was close! I was almost crushed into a meat patty."

Liu Bo let out a long breath, lowered his head, and carefully laid the unconscious Wei Xiaoran flat on the rock.

Not far away, Li Lan and the others, who were stuck in quicksand, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Wei Xiaoran had been successfully rescued.

Liu Bo straightened up and turned to look at Li Lan.

"Hey you guys, what's going on here?"

Liu Bo pointed to the dark underground space around him, his face full of doubt.

"What are they doing, digging for coal underground in broad daylight? Why are they all buried in the sand?"

Li Lan gave a wry smile and shook her head.

"We were ambushed by the Yellow Sand Ratmen."

At this point, Li Lan suddenly remembered something and turned to look in the direction of the pink Blood Rhinoceros corpse.

"By the way, where are those yellow sand ratmen?!"

The voice just fell.

"squeak--!"

A series of sharp, piercing screams came from behind the huge pink corpse.

The leader of the Yellow Sand Ratmen poked his enormous rat head out from the hind legs of the Blood Rhinoceros.

It glanced at the ice crystal spear stuck in the belly of the Blood-Splitting Rhinoceros, then at Wei Xiaoran lying unconscious on the rock in the distance. The fear in its beady eyes gradually subsided.

"This human girl is really strange, squeak—"

Then, he turned to look at Liu Bo, who was standing next to Wei Xiaoran.

"I really have to thank you for saving my life, squeak."

"As a reward, I've decided to eat you first, squeak."

Having said that, a glint flashed in the eyes of the yellow sand rat-man. It raised its two front paws, covered in withered yellow scales, and swung them upwards sharply.

Behind it, a dozen or so early-stage Flying Realm Yellow Sand Ratmen stood upright and raised their paws in unison, making the same gesture as their leader.

"Buzz—!"

The quicksand vortex, which had briefly stopped due to the collapse, started spinning wildly again!

The yellow sand on the ground seemed to come alive instantly, turning into a boiling swamp once again.

Holy crap!

Liu Bo's legs went weak.

The once-hard ground instantly turned to sand, and his legs sank in. The yellow sand climbed up his calves and was over his knees in the blink of an eye.

He shouted, and the Yuan energy in his Qi Sea surged wildly as he tried to pull his legs out of the sand.

However, the moment his internal energy came into contact with the yellow sand, it vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

The surrounding sand grains, having absorbed the elemental energy, spun even more violently, generating a strangling force that tightly bound his lower body.

"This sand absorbs elemental energy?!"

Liu Bo's eyes widened. "What's going on???"

He hurriedly reached for the storage device hanging on his waist. As long as he took out the teleportation scroll and tore it open, he could return to the resort!

However, the same situation as that at Beijing Martial Arts University occurred.

The yellow sand covered the area around the waist where the stored Yuan Qi was located, and any fluctuation of Yuan Qi would be completely absorbed.

The transfer scroll can't be retrieved!

Now he can't escape!

"It's over, it's over, I'm really going to die here this time!"

Liu Bo was sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Do you have any ideas?"

"The historical and cultural foundation of the martial arts academy in Beijing is surely far superior to that of our rural hometown, isn't it?"

Looking at Liu Bo's flustered state, Li Lan sighed, her tone tinged with helplessness and bitterness.

"If you hadn't suddenly appeared, we would be out of trouble by now."

Li Lan pointed to the Bloodthirsty Rhinoceros that was strung together.

"This desolate desert can lock away Yuan Power. Among the nine of us, the only one who can threaten that peak Flying Realm Yellow Sand Ratman is Xiao Ran."

Li Lan's gaze fell on the unconscious Wei Xiaoran.

"She activated the Soul-Shattering Spell, drawing upon the power of the laws to condense that ice spear, which could have killed her in one strike."

"result……"

Li Lan looked at Liu Bo, her lips twitching.

"You descended from the sky with a Blood-Splitting Rhinoceros that appeared out of nowhere, and managed to block that ice spear."

After hearing this, Liu Bo froze on the spot.

He turned his head, looked at the completely dead pink Blood Rhinoceros, and then at the ice spear stuck in its belly, his mind buzzing.

So, his sudden appearance from the sky has turned him into a shield for the alien race?

Did you ruin someone's hard-earned ultimate move?

A wave of speechlessness washed over Liu Bo, and he opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Just then.

"Hehehe..."

A piercing, eerie laugh, like sandpaper rubbing against glass, echoed through the empty underground space.

"So many delicious humans, my little ones, time to eat!"

"Squeak squeak squeak—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the rat-man leader pressed down hard with both front paws.

"Boom!"

The spinning speed of the desolate sand dunes instantly doubled. The yellow sand rubbed against each other wildly, producing a deafening roar.

Liu Bo felt his body sink as sand washed over his chest.

The intense pressure caused his bones to crack, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.

"Eat me?"

Liu Bo gritted his teeth, stiffened his neck, and shouted, "I haven't showered for days! Aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea?!"

The rat-man leader ignored Liu Bo's insults.

It opened its gaping maw, large enough to swallow an adult water buffalo, and took a deep breath.

The dozen or so early-stage Flying Realm ratmen around them also opened their mouths in unison, following their leader's actions.

"call--!"

A sudden gust of wind arose.

The yellow sand underground transformed into columns of earthy yellow sand, pouring into the mouths of the rat-men like a dragon sucking up water!

As the sand flowed away and the suction increased, the people trapped in the sea of ​​sand were uncontrollably swept along by the sand current, rapidly sliding towards the rat people's gaping mouths.

"I can't hold on any longer!"

Liu Bo was covered in sweat, desperately trying to pull himself up on the sand with his hands, but he couldn't stop his body from sliding down.

Li Lan closed her eyes and sighed in despair.

They've used up all their cards.

His elemental power was locked, and he couldn't retrieve the teleportation scroll. Now, he could only watch helplessly as he became food for the alien race.

"I killed even the Blood-Splitting Rhinoceros of the Nine Heavens Realm!"

As Liu Bo watched the rat's gaping maw getting closer and closer, and smelled the nauseating stench, he cursed angrily.

"In the end, he's going to become a rotten apple?!"

"What a pathetic way to die!"

More than a dozen rat-men opened their mouths at the same time, and the yellow sand flowed away faster and faster.

Fifty meters.

Thirty meters.

Ten meters!

Liu Bo could even see the bits of meat left between the rat-man leader's teeth.

The fear of impending death made his heart pound wildly in his chest, almost bursting out of his ribs.

"It's all over, it ...!"

Liu Bo waved his hands wildly at his sides, trying to grab something.

"I didn't even leave a suicide note!!"

His hand rummaged around in the pocket on his left breast.

Sudden.

His right hand touched a hard plastic cylinder in his pocket.

Liu Bo suddenly stopped moving.

What is this?

He used his fingers to pull the thing out of his pocket.

A small, transparent plastic medicine bottle contained a dozen or so dark brown pills that looked like sheep droppings.

A white paper label was affixed to the bottle: [Powerful Croton Bean].

This is the white light item that he smashed out of the jar shop this morning when he was so confident that he would activate the golden light.

I was so disgusted with it at the time that I just put it in my pocket and completely forgot about it as soon as I turned my back.

Liu Bo looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, then looked up.

Ahead, the leader of the yellow sand ratmen, a peak-level Flying Realm cultivator, was opening his blood-red maw.

"Huh?"

To accelerate the inhalation of yellow sand, its throat was completely open, like a huge bottomless pit, with the surrounding air and sand constantly pouring into its mouth.

吸？

You like smoking, right?

Liu Bo was stunned for two seconds.

Then, the corners of his mouth gradually turned up, finally forming a wicked grin.

He stared at the gaping, blood-red mouth that reeked of a foul stench.

"I'll give you something extra!"
