Chapter 269 Desperate Situation
"When can we get out of here?" Sunflower Xiaokui shouted at the top of her lungs.
No one could answer his question;
First, nobody knows when they'll be able to get out; second, in this weather, anyone who dares to open their mouth will get a mouthful of dust.
The only consolation is that these creatures, the wooden ox and the flowing horse, are not affected by wind and sand because they lack organs like nostrils for exchanging information with the outside world.
No matter how the wind and sand blew, the wooden ox and flowing horse always maintained a steady speed.
"This can't go on," Peashooter Feng Qi said, turning to look at Zombie Tu Shan.
Since Nut Wall Daifuku dared to lure them here, it must have already planned to bury them all in this hellish place.
These sandstorms alone cannot kill them;
No matter what awaits them, they cannot remain helpless here.
"Give me a minute," the zombie Tu Shan said without delay, sitting cross-legged on the wooden ox-horse.
The zombie Tu Shan closed his eyes and released all his consciousness.
The current zombie Tu Shan no longer needs to use his consciousness to maintain and control other zombies; he can simply release all of his consciousness.
The zombie Tu Shan's idea was simple: any living being would be detected by his consciousness, and the direction in which he could detect the most living beings was definitely the way to survival.
Peashooter Feng Qi and Sunflower Xiao Kui looked at the zombie Tu Shan with tense expressions;
They are all military generals; only the zombie Tushan can do this kind of mental work.
After a long while, the zombie Tu Shan slowly opened its eyes;
"Well, Master, have you found anything?" Sunflower Xiaokui looked at the zombie Tushan with anticipation.
The zombie Tu Shan shook his head wearily;
"Didn't find anything?" The Peashooter's brow furrowed so deeply it could crush a mosquito.
"No, my consciousness has extended at least ten kilometers away, but I haven't found any life forms," said the zombie Tu Shan, looking somewhat dazed.
"This is troublesome," sighed the Peashooter Wind.
This outcome was actually expected by Peashooter Wind Rising;
Apart from Huangsha City, the Chenfeng Desert is already sparsely populated.
Finding detectable life forms in the Shenfeng Desert is like finding a needle in a haystack.
As for how Nut Daifuku could run into Pea Shooter Wind and his group in such a vast, windy desert;
It's just that the nut wall daifuku was incredibly unlucky;
"Pea's consciousness is too depleted, I need to rest well, I may not be able to help much for the time being;" Zombie Tushan rubbed his forehead;
"I understand," said the Peashooter Feng Qi, sitting opposite the zombie Tu Shan with his back to him.
"Look, what's that?" Sunflower Xiaokui pointed ahead;
Not far ahead, a sand dune suddenly collapsed, revealing a dark hole with countless huge teeth densely packed around its edge.
The dark opening suddenly closed, swallowing the entire sand dune whole.
“That thing seems to be alive,” Peashooter Fengqi said, his face turning somewhat grim.
The sand dune was tens of meters high, but when you fell into that dark hole, you only occupied less than one-tenth of the hole.
“There are signs of life below,” the zombie Tu Shan added weakly.
"Run!" Peashooter Wind yanked hard on the reins of the wooden ox and flowing horse;
If that hole is the creature's mouth, it's unimaginable how big its entire body would be.
Such a large creature, even if you tied the four of them together, it probably wouldn't be enough to fill the other's teeth.
But no matter how hard the Peashooter pulled on the reins, the Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse remained motionless in place.
"Damn beast, do you want to stay here and wait to die?" Peashooter Wind was so angry that he cursed.
“No, it seems like something is tangling around it.” Sunflower Xiaokui gently patted the head of the wooden ox and flowing horse to soothe its emotions.
The Peashooter only noticed it when the wind picked up;
The wooden ox and flowing horse were not still; some black vines had already tightly wrapped around its limbs.
These vines not only restricted the movement of the wooden ox and flowing horse, but also gradually pulled them down the sand dunes.
"Get off the wooden ox and flowing horse quickly, or these ghostly things will drag us down with them;" Peashooter Feng Qi held Sunflower Xiao Kui in one hand and pulled up the limp zombie Tu Shan in the other, then turned around and jumped off the wooden ox and flowing horse.
The blind carnivorous plant groped its way behind the sunflower, Xiao Kui;
The wooden ox and flowing horse are beyond saving; staying with them is just waiting to die.
Just after the zombie Tushan and the pea shooter Fengqi jumped off the wooden ox and flowing horse, the black vines that were originally wrapped around the wooden ox and flowing horse seemed to sense something.
The black vines suddenly tightened;
The massive bodies of the wooden ox and flowing horse were instantly pulled underground into the sand;
Sunflower Xiaokui stared wide-eyed at the huge hole that was shrinking in place.
If they had come down a step later, they would probably have been dragged down into the quicksand along with the wooden ox and flowing horse.
"Let's go!" Peashooter Wind Rising didn't even look back, grabbing Sunflower Xiao Kui and Zombie Tu Shan and running in the opposite direction;
Behind them, more and more black vines emerged from the quicksand, spreading continuously in all directions;
"What the hell is this thing?" Zombie Tushan tugged at the hem of Peashooter Fengqi's clothes while frequently looking back.
In the distance, a huge hole was still opening and closing, swallowing up the surrounding quicksand, while dense vines kept sprouting out from the center of that hole.
It gives people goosebumps;
"Help me!" The Peashooter's hand suddenly loosened, and before he could react, the sunflower he was holding in his right hand had been wrapped around his feet by a thick vine.
The vines tightened their grip, and in just a moment, Xiao Kui was pulled more than ten meters away.
Without the slightest hesitation, the man-eating flower turned and rushed towards Xiao Kui, who was being dragged away.
The carnivorous plant opened its huge mouth and bit into the end of the black vine;
The black vines, which were originally shrinking and retreating, were dragged to the spot by the man-eating flower;
However, the good fortune did not last long. At the same time that the carnivorous plant bit into the black vine, two thicker black vines sprang out from the sand next to it.
The two newly sprouted black vines, as if they had their own consciousness, bypassed the entangled sunflower and swept straight towards the carnivorous plant opposite.
Two black vines bound the carnivorous plant into a large "X" shape, then hung high in the air, swaying incessantly.
But no matter how much the black vines that sprouted from behind shook, the carnivorous plant kept biting the vine that bound the sunflower and refused to let go.
