Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1747 Sandstorm

At this moment, anyone with a brain could see the danger of this sandstorm.

"Retreat! Retreat now!!"

Faced with the scene before him, Joseph could no longer care about the group of snake-men who were fleeing for their lives. Relying purely on instinct, he immediately turned around and led his centaur cavalry to escape in the opposite direction!

We can't risk losing their entire army for a few snake people.

Seeing this, Hilke and Chitose, who were on the outskirts, also dared not linger and turned to leave.

At this moment, none of them knew how far the sandstorm would sweep through, so for the sake of their own lives, they decided to run as far away as possible.

During this time, the Snake King and the Desert Giant Serpent, who had previously run the furthest thanks to their own strength, were suddenly left at the very back of the team due to the change in the situation, which really put them in a difficult position.

At this moment, the Serpent King and the Desert Serpent were completely engulfed in the sandstorm that swept across the sky and earth.

A terrifyingly strong wind, mixed with a large amount of sand and gravel, lashed wildly against their faces, making the Snake King's expression even more grim.

At this point, there was no time to hide anymore; they quickly unleashed their maximum speed and began to flee for their lives.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, ancient chains suddenly flew out from the sandstorm.

Sensing the approaching danger, the Snake King and the Desert Serpent quickly plunged into the sand in an attempt to escape.

Unexpectedly, the chains seemed to have eyes, and they followed closely behind, digging into the sand!
In less than 24 hours, the Serpent King and the Desert Serpent had experienced the night battle, the long retreat, and the pursuit by the centaur cavalry.

They barely rested throughout the entire process, so it's unrealistic to say they're in great shape right now.

In less than a few seconds, the sand exploded with two loud bangs.

Ancient chains pierced through the bodies of the Serpent King and the Desert Serpent, dragging them out of the yellow sand.

At this moment, both the Snake King and the Desert Giant Serpent had expressions of terror on their faces.

They tried to break free of the chains and escape, only to discover that the chains possessed a strange power that was constantly consuming their lives!
At the same time, the chains suddenly tightened, and feeling the obvious force pulling them backward, the panic in the hearts of the Snake King and the Desert Serpent intensified.

As the distance closed, the Snake King looked in the direction from which the chains had flown.

In the sandstorm, the first thing that came into view was two skeletal warhorses burning with soul fire, pulling an ancient chariot and appearing before the Serpent King surrounded by a skeletal army.

Ignoring the skeleton driver, the burly figure standing atop the chariot immediately caught the Snake King's attention.

Beneath the ancient metal armor lay a body resembling a corpse. In the pitch-black eye sockets, no eyeballs were visible; only two deep, eerie blue soul flames burned silently, yet emanated a chilling aura.

If Shi Lei were here, he would definitely recognize them at a glance as members of the Undead Clan!

The snake-man king's heart nearly stopped after just one glance.

"Spare me! I can offer you something better..."

Before he could finish speaking, a thick, dark gray beam of light pierced the Serpent King's skull. The undead general standing on the chariot calmly withdrew his outstretched finger.

During this time, the chains that pierced through the Serpent King's body emitted an eerie light, as if some living creature were feeding on him.

The Serpent King's corpse shriveled up at a visible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a dried-up corpse barely encased in bones.

The giant desert snake, which witnessed the entire process, was terrified out of its wits.

I want to escape, but I can't.

During this process, the undead general's gaze fell upon the desert serpent.

Just as he was about to extend that finger again to end the life of the desert serpent, something happened and the serpent stopped moving.

In the sandstorm, the surrounding skeleton soldiers retreated to both sides, and another skeleton carriage slowly drove forward along the middle road.

Compared to the skeleton chariot where the undead general was located, this skeleton chariot was much larger, with a large amount of gold melted into its metal parts. An ancient canopy supported the chariot, and beneath the canopy sat a figure wearing a golden crown and holding a skeleton scepter.

The body beneath the robe resembled that of the Undead General, like a dried corpse, but the soul fire burning in the dark eye sockets was a deeper and more eerie dark purple!

The general was clad in armor, making it inconvenient for him to perform a salute, but the moment this figure appeared, he still bowed his head and saluted, as if he were paying homage to his king.

The Undying King ignored him, merely extending a withered finger and gently beckoning. The chains seemed to obey his command, and amidst screams, the giant desert serpent was dragged, dripping with blood, before him.

Those eye sockets burning with deep purple soul fire were extremely eerie, as if they could steal souls and spirits. Just by looking into them, the desert giant serpent felt its soul begin to tremble!
Under the control of the chains, the desert serpent's enormous head was dragged directly in front of the Undying King.

At this distance, the desert serpent could swallow the immortal king whole in an instant with just a single opening of its mouth.

But the desert serpent found itself completely unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as the immortal king rose from his chariot and placed his withered hand on his forehead.

In an instant, a muffled 'boom' was heard, and a strange, deep purple flame erupted from his palm, completely engulfing the desert serpent in the blink of an eye!
Within those eerie, deep purple flames, the desert serpent couldn't even scream. Its scales and flesh covering its entire body were quickly burned to ashes, leaving only its skeleton, which crashed heavily onto the desert before it.

But this was just the beginning. In the next second, two blue soul flames suddenly lit up in the empty eye sockets of the skeleton, quickly filling the entire skull and then burning all the way down the spine.

As the blue soul flames flickered, accompanied by a 'crack' sound, the bone serpent twisted its skeletal body and stood up, then obediently lowered its head towards the undead king before it.

Seeing this, the Undying King slowly took a step and stood on top of the bone serpent's head.

The bone serpent immediately understood and lifted the Undying King to stand up.

As they increased in altitude, their field of vision broadened considerably, prompting the Undying King to nod in satisfaction.

At this point, the Undying King paused.

"General, I'm leaving the rest to you. I'm tired, I'm going back to the palace."
