Chapter 627 Return

627 Return

"Get on the cube, I'll carry you all out," The Dusking Sun said.

"I'll take you up on the offer then," I replied.

Once the entire group went inside the cube, the Sun flew ahead of us, and his bird grabbed the cage as we all went flying out of the Dark Garden.

As we were moving, I noticed a gigantic ditch in the far distance, that seemed to lead even further down.

Somehow, the Sun realized that I was intrigued with that ditch.

"I wouldn't think of going there, not at your level right now, it's a death sentence," he said, the words spoken into my mind directly.

I replied back, with difficulty of course since my Divine Sense could barely reach out of the barrier protecting our limited Qi.

"How so? I thought you were sitting in the centermost area of the Dark Garden," I said.

"I was, but that's only the top level, there are multiple levels below this region, with beasts and monsters far more fearsome than what lives above. Sometimes these monsters come out to hunt and go up, and whenever that happens, many lives are lost," He added.

"I see," I replied.

"Just so you would know, the parasite that entered my body, came from there. I was roaming about and exploring the depths of the Dark Garden, and was met with a pretty annoying foe. One of those black lizards managed to scratch my skin, which by itself is close to a miracle. And his claws were doused with the parasitic agent... annoying little pests," he said.

"Wait, when you say black lizard, does it have obsidian scales, with thorns on the back, double sets of claws, and a nasty sparking looking mouth that sometimes shoot lightning?" I asked.

"Seems that you met one of its kind before... which is strange, since there shouldn't be any of them here in the upper floor of the Dark Garden..."

I replied back using Divine sense. "Good to see you back. Nothing happened though, just keep a watch on me from now on," I replied.

Not long after, you could feel the clouds high above us churning. The Dusking Sun was right, it feels like an incoming sandstorm, and from the looks of things, it's going to be ugly.

"We need to move fast buckle up," I said and pressed the pedestal on the cube, forcing it to shoot forward like a shooting star.

The soldiers sloped down on the ground, and some even began laughing.

"What's wrong with them?" I asked Old Fu as I was trying to drive this piece of junk.

"They finally managed to get away from one of the Suns. The fear in their heart was probably too great for them to control for so long." Old Fu said.

"What's wrong with being next to a Sun, he is only human," I replied.

Old Fu smiled, "Indeed, he is but a human, but he is a scary and powerful human, not to mention some of these guys joked around taking his body and selling it. Anyway, now that pressure is gone, they are feeling relaxed, although most of that pressure was mainly due to you," he said.

"How come, what did I do?" I asked looking a bit annoyed at the group that was smirking like idiots.

"You're probably the only sane? Maybe insane man who'd talk so casually to a Sun as if they were your peer. Hell you even opened a hole in his head and poked around with it. They're going back home with a lot of stories to tell, that I can assure you of," he said.

"Well, good to hear that, but looking at what's behind us, going back is not going to be as easy as we might think," I said.

Old Fu's eyes turned to see the entire horizon... upside down.

A gigantic, tidal wave of sand pushed by immensely powerful winds was rushing towards us. The sand wave was big enough that it reached the rims of the skies themselves...

"Well, I hope you can increase some speed..."
