“What’s going on?”
The people around the woman quickly turned their heads to look, but before they could see clearly what was happening, the woman was dragged swiftly to the left and disappeared.
By the time the people around her reacted, the woman had vanished without a trace.
“Ah…”
Just as everyone was still wondering what kind of creature it was, another scream sounded, this time from a man.
Just like the woman before, after a scream and a fall, the man was dragged away, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
“Damn it! Let me see what the hell you are!” Another man shouted angrily.
As soon as his voice rang out, he stepped towards the direction where the man disappeared.
“Noah Hunt, it’s dangerous, come back!” Nelson Morris’s voice sounded at the same time.
However, the man had already disappeared from sight.
“Ah…”
Less than ten seconds later, Noah Hunt’s screams came from the right, lasting less than three seconds before abruptly stopping.
“Everyone, don’t move around, form a circle!” Billy said in a deep voice.
“Okay!” About thirty people responded simultaneously and acted accordingly.
Just as everyone took their positions, four scorpions, whose skin was almost indistinguishable from the yellow sand, crawled out from the direction they were heading.
They were called scorpions just because of their appearance, but in terms of size, they were far from it.
These four scorpions were about four to five meters long from head to tail, and their pincers emitted a chilling aura like giant iron tongs.
Three of the scorpions still had some flesh and blood residue on their pincers, obviously the remnants of the three men and women dragged away earlier.
With their appearance, everyone also sensed their level; without exception, they were all fourth-rank divine beasts.
Coupled with their inherent toxicity, the three men and women had no chance to struggle after being attacked.
“Scorpions?”
Seeing the four big guys not far away, many people couldn’t believe it.
They had never seen such large scorpions!
“Are the animals in this Forbidden Phantom Valley all mutated?” Judge muttered to himself before shouting.
“Prince Nelson, take everyone back!” Billy frowned slightly and drew the Blood Fury Blade from his body.
If they were just ordinary fourth-rank divine beasts, dealing with them wouldn’t be too difficult.
But facing poisonous creatures like scorpions, even a fourth-rank Divine Realm cultivator might not have the upper hand.
“Okay!” Nelson Morris responded and led everyone to retreat.
“Billy, I’ll stay to help you!” Ivy drew the Phoenix Sword and kept a close eye on the four giant scorpions in front of her.
Although her body couldn’t withstand poison like Billy’s body which was ‘immune to all poisons’, ordinary toxins wouldn’t affect her much.
“No need!” Billy responded, “You retreat with them and watch the left and right sides!”
“Okay!” Ivy didn’t stick with her idea.
“Honey, be careful!” Harleen shouted at the same time.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine!” Billy responded.
Just as he finished speaking, one of the giant scorpions sprang up from the ground and lunged straight towards Billy.
At the same time, it sprayed a large amount of venom from its mouth, all aimed at Billy.
The next moment, a blood-red blade aura shot out swiftly.
The giant scorpion seemed to sense the danger, but even if it wanted to dodge consciously while in mid-air, it was of no use.
Hiss!
The blade aura flashed through the middle of the giant scorpion’s body, and immediately it was cut in half and fell to the ground, spraying a large amount of poison, emitting an exceptionally foul smell.
Seeing their companion killed, the other three giant scorpions not only showed no intention of retreating but instead simultaneously attacked Billy.
“Boss, be careful!” Azure Dragon and others shouted at the same time from a distance.
At the same time, Billy launched another attack, his wrist continuously flipping as the Blood Fury Blade drew countless blade auras and attacked.
Prince Nelson, trees, and yellow sand were all swept up into the air, and occasionally one could even see the shadow of a giant scorpion.
Obviously, a tornado had swept through this desert.
The fierce wind raged, the yellow sand filled the sky, obscuring the sun, and the ground shook.
From the commotion, it seemed to be a level stronger than the tornadoes seen outside.
“Quick, let’s go!” Billy shouted loudly.
Everyone obviously sensed the danger. Their faces changed, and they quickly flew in the sky to avoid it.
However, due to the significant impact on their teleportation speed, they couldn’t possibly dodge it.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the tornado swept in, lifting everyone, including Billy, into the air.
Billy tried to use his power to resist the impact of the wind, but it was of little use. His body spun with the wind.
Thud!
After nearly twenty minutes, Billy felt himself thrown out by the wind and then crashing heavily onto the hard mountain ground.
Although he had defensive aura protecting him, the powerful impact still made him very uncomfortable, and his blood churned in his chest.
A few minutes later, as he recovered a bit, Billy stood up.
At this moment, the visibility around him had dropped to about four to five meters. All he could see was yellow sand, almost to the point where he couldn’t see anything even if he stretched out his hand.
And the tornado continued to move forward, with Billy following by instinct.
However, at his current speed, he couldn’t possibly catch up with the tornado’s teleportation speed.
Facing such extreme conditions, Billy could do nothing.
For him now, besides waiting for the wind speed to decrease before finding Harleen and the others, there was no other way.
He tried shouting around a few times, but even when he used his power to increase the volume, it was still difficult to surpass the howling wind.
As time passed, after about an hour or so, the fierce wind in this space finally began to calm down slowly.
After all the yellow sand in the air had fallen, the visibility inside the space was much higher than before the wind, and one could see a range of two to three hundred meters at a glance.
At this point, Billy also saw clearly where he was, in a dried-up depression.
Then, Billy climbed up from the depression.
Looking around, apart from the ground ravaged by the tornado, he saw no trace of anyone.
“Harleen, Casey, Ivy, Azure Dragon…” after taking a deep breath, Billy shouted loudly again, but there was no response.
Helpless, Billy could only walk aimlessly forward.
As he walked, he released his spiritual power to probe the situation around him.
