140: Chapter 140: Weeping Sand Rain, There is a Cloud Made of Sand
Congratulations, you have obtained: Energy Cube!
Energy Cube
Realm: True Immortal
Item Description: A luminous body like the sun, radiating glorious holy energy, nourishing angels.
"Master, this is it!"
Anna carefully inspected it, confirming it was the one from their city.
"Here, take it."
"Thank you, Master."
Lin Mo didn't waste words, casually giving the item to her.
Anna excitedly threw herself into Lin Mo's arms, her soft wings unconsciously unfurling and gently brushing his arm.
The warm sensation against his chest made Lin Mo pause slightly, then he abruptly retreated two steps like a startled fawn, his cheeks flushing:
"I... I'm sorry, Master, I overstepped..."
She frantically straightened her disheveled clothes, her pure white wings trembling uneasily.
Lin Mo covered his chest.
He thought to himself, "Ball-carrying collision, it seems I'll have to give her a good punishment when we get back."
"It's him! He stole the Energy Cube from the Holy Light Tower!"
"You all go and take him down!"
"I'll go report to the Eight Great Generals!!!"
"Right, right, I'll go notify the city gate guards, we'll catch him like a turtle in a jar!"
When the main force guarding the tower arrived, they saw several corpses on the ground, freshly crushed into paste by Lin Mo.
They turned and ran.
Everyone still spoke with righteous indignation.
But.
The crowd hadn't run far when an overwhelming yellow sandstorm obscured the sky.
The sky suddenly began to rain "yellow rain", and the soldiers discovered in horror that what landed on their hands were not raindrops, but clumps of wriggling yellow sand.
These sand grains moved like living things between their fingers, and in a blink of an eye, they enveloped their entire arms.
"Sand?"
Just as everyone was momentarily stunned.
The sand clumps suddenly tightened, emitting a grating "creak" sound.
The soldiers' arms instantly twisted and deformed, the crisp sounds of breaking bones rising and falling. "Ah—!"
Piercing screams tore through the sky, and over a dozen soldiers simultaneously fell to their knees, their limbs twisted into grotesque braids by the sand clumps.
After witnessing the power of the falling yellow earth, the maimed soldiers ran even faster.
This was no longer an ordinary enemy.
Running Man! Activate!
The people below the tower were like a swarm of ants, scurrying in all directions.
Some directly hid in houses, some burrowed into cellars.
Others even used Female Angels as human shields... "My Lord, currently my strength cannot cover every corner of the entire city..."
"It's alright, it will be soon..."
Lin Mo glanced at the Honor Points in his hand.
It was completely enough to upgrade Dilireba.
He had originally intended to upgrade Dong Xiaowan first.
Now he had temporarily changed his mind.
He hoped she wouldn't mind.
"Evolve!"
"Dilireba" has reached the Earth Immortal Realm, evolving into a Venerable Celestial Maiden.
The next moment.
Dilireba was upgraded by Lin Mo using Honor Points.
Her realm broke through.
Her attributes surged geometrically!
In an instant, the entire Tianqian Pass was enveloped by a sky-obscuring sandstorm.
The yellow sand, like a living entity, was all-pervasive, drilling into every street crevice and seeping into every building's doors and windows.
The soldiers hiding in cellars and secret rooms watched in horror as fine sand continuously poured in from vents and brick cracks.
The dust formed countless tiny vortices, precisely wrapping around the limbs and necks of every soldier.
Armor screeched an ear-splitting "squeak" under the grinding sand, and in a blink of an eye, it was twisted into scrap metal.
Even the deepest command post was not spared; yellow sand surged in like a tide, crushing the officers hiding inside into meat paste.
The entire city groaned under the ravages of the sea of sand, and the ground actually sank by a full three feet.
On this day, all the soldiers in the entire city felt the terror of being dominated by yellow sand... Battle Fortress, Central Command Eagle's Nest, Wolf's Den.
Round Table Conference... General Sheng Hui. Zu'an suddenly swung his battle-axe, a cold glint flashed, and the Round Table split into two with a crash.
His eyes bloodshot, he glared at the other seven generals:
"Creation Saint God's supplies for recruiting Lin Mo, do you dare to monopolize them?"
The axe blade slammed heavily into the ground, sparks flying, "Not a single penny of my share can be missing!"
"A defeated general dares to demand supplies?"
First General Blade of Holy Judgment, Augustus, sneered as he stood up, his silver armor gleaming with a cold light.
"A good-for-nothing who fled at the sight of Lin Mo, what right does he have to demand a reward?"
Zu'an's face turned ashen, and he slammed his battle-axe into the ground:
"Nonsense! You seven old geezers want to monopolize it?"
He scanned everyone menacingly,
"If I'm short a single penny today, I'll immediately go before Creation Saint God and accuse you of embezzlement!"
No sooner had he spoken.
Third General Shadow Strike, Night Owl, suddenly flashed out of the shadows, a cold glint from the dagger in her hand, directly piercing Zu'an's back.
Zu'an's eyes widened, and he looked down in disbelief at the dagger tip protruding from his chest.
"You're going to complain, and you still expect to live?"
Augustus sneered as he wiped his saber,
"Pass down the order, General Zu'an died heroically, killed by Lin Mo.
The entire army must take the General as an example and defend Battle City to the death!"
For the remaining Seven Great Generals.
Lin Mo, no matter how strong he was.
He could only be a straggler.
For the elites of their Knight of the Round Table.
He was simply not taken seriously.
As for the supplies Creation Saint God sent down to recruit Lin Mo, it would only be valuable if the brothers divided it up.
They couldn't let outsiders benefit from their wealth... "Everyone, guard strictly, how dare Lin Mo provoke an attack, we must strike him head-on!"
Blade of Holy Judgment, Augustus, rearranged his orders again.
"Hmm? Who didn't close the window, why is there so much sand..."
After getting rid of Zu'an, everyone realized that so much sand had entered the room.
But.
The person who said to close the window also realized the problem.
The Eagle's Nest, Wolf's Den was a completely enclosed combat conference room.
Where would there be windows?
The "rustling" sound grew louder and louder, and everyone suddenly looked up, only to see yellow sand continuously seeping out from the cracks in the four walls, spreading like a living thing within the conference room.
The ceiling also began to drop sand, and the entire room seemed to be swallowed by yellow sand.
"Something's wrong! Let's go out and see!"
The next moment, everyone realized the problem was definitely not simple.
Indeed.
The exit door couldn't be pushed open.
It seemed to be locked from the outside.
"Who on earth is behind this?!"
Augustus roared, his holy sword slashing out a brilliant light, and the door shattered in response.
However, outside the door was not a corridor, but quicksand pouring down like a waterfall.
"How is this possible?!" The generals turned pale with fright.
When did this sealed command post become a quicksand trap?
There was quicksand.
Could it be that they had already fallen underground?!
They completely didn't understand what was happening.
However, if the quicksand in front of them wanted to kill these people, then it would be underestimating the great generals under Creation Saint God...
