Chapter 853: Making a Useless Phone Call

In the midst of the chaos, Elsie grabbed Motra and asked, Are you sure this giant scorpion isnt being raised by the enemy?

Motra replied, Our Desert Kingdom people cannot raise such a large scorpion. Its truly a monstrous creature, not an ordinary insect.

Elsie said, But this giant creature is not attacking the enemy. Its only targeting our people.

Upon hearing this, Motra was slightly surprised. Hmm? Youre right. If its a monster, it should be attacking all humans indiscriminately. But this scorpion only focuses on our people. Could it really be a scorpion raised by the enemy? I wonder what they fed it to make it grow so big.

Elsie responded, Damn it, asking you is pointless.

As they were talking, they suddenly saw the Sand King burst out of the ground once again, knocking dozens of Westwind Warriors flying. However, this time it didnt immediately dive back underground. Instead, it started waving its long scorpion tail, which emitted a faint magical glow at the tip, shining with a greenish hue.

Elsie finally confirmed, Thats not an ordinary scorpion. Its a monster. Its about to use magic. Normal scorpions dont use magic. Everyone, get out of the way! Its going to unleash a devastating attack.

After shouting these words, Elsie quickly raised his own staff and began chanting a defensive magic spell.

The Sand King continued to shake its tail, evidently preparing for a powerful magic spell of its own.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

Almost simultaneously, Elsies magic and the Sand Kings magic were both fully prepared. Then, almost in an instant, they were unleashed at the same time.

Normally, when two spells are cast simultaneously, they take effect simultaneously. However, Elsie used a defensive spell, which instantly applied to everyone, while the Sand King used an offensive spell. There was a slight delay from when it was released to when it hit the enemy. As a result, Elsies defensive magic coincidentally intercepted the Sand Kings magic a moment before impact.

Just as Elsies Magic Defense Resistance Group Buff was applied to the soldiers, a ferocious seismic wave suddenly burst forth from the Sand King. With a loud roar, an area with a radius of several dozen meters around it violently shook. Furthermore, the shockwave continued to spread outward.

The soldiers closest to the Sand King were instantly thrown into the air by the tremors. As the shockwave propagated outward, the soldiers were continuously flipped over, tumbling in all directions. Nearly eight hundred Westwind Warriors fell almost instantaneously, with the Sand King at the center.

The Sand King also wanted to burrow underground and give chase, but as soon as it dug a little into the ground, it hit a landmine. With a loud explosion and a muffled rumble underground, sand shot up high. The Sand King took a heavy blow underground, feeling frustrated. Angrily, it continued digging forward, but after a few meters, it hit a second landmine. Another explosion sent up another column of sand.

The Sand King had had enough. It finally gave up the pursuit.

Led by Elsie, the Westwind Warriors retreated south.

Robb held Suofa in his arms as they navigated through an incredibly complex underground maze.

This was the lair of the giant Ants, creatures the size of humans, so their underground tunnels were quite spacious. Walking inside didnt feel cramped for humans.

However, Suofa was reluctant to walk on the ground.

She claimed, I hate insects. Robb certainly wouldnt expose her for secretly crushing two scorpions. He pretended not to notice and let her continue to be afraid. After all, how could he rightfully keep holding her in his arms if she wasnt scared?

The two of them navigated through the underground tunnel, making several turns. Robb said, Weve arrived at the location marked on the map.

Suofa quickly looked ahead. With the unique night vision ability of an assassin, she saw an ant nursery with many large white ant eggs. Next to these eggs was an immensely gigantic ant queen. The queen lay on a large black stone, staring at Robb and Suofa, the unwelcome guests, with fierce eyes.

Suofa pointed at the black stone and asked, What kind of mineral is that?

Robb took a closer look and shook his head, sighing, Its nothing remarkable, just black iron. Its average at best. It seems like this trip was a waste.

Suofa couldnt help but laugh and cry. Not only was it a wasted trip, but we also wasted our efforts. Look, the ant queen seems to be planning to attack. I think even you would have a hard time dealing with that thing.

Wow! Robb barely had time to let out a sarcastic exclamation before a thick and bright magical laser shot out from the ant queens eyes.
