Chapter 316 Obstruction

"Nan Jue has finally appeared! We're saved!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed excitedly.

"Let's go, let's go quickly! What if these two groups also have monarch-level demons behind them, and they attract these demons? Then we'll be in trouble!" Jiang Shaoxu hurriedly said.

With a clear direction, the six people no longer needed to hold onto that position. They would not interfere no matter how fiercely the two major clans fought there.

Soon, Lin Chen and the others discovered that the sand in front of them was a pure golden yellow, indicating that they had emerged from the terrifying desert maze.

Lin Chen and his group of six saw Nan Jue, and also saw several unfamiliar mages appear beside Nan Jue. Those mages stood there watching Mo Fan and the others arrive.

"Are you all alright?" Nan Jue asked hurriedly after seeing Lin Chen and the others come out.

"We're fine, but how come you suddenly disappeared? You've been gone for days, we were so worried about you," Jiang Yu said.

"I was targeted by a monster. Its entire body was covered in floating sand, making it look like a sand demon. However, it spoke a language similar to that of a human, and its eyes were filled with resentment and venom, making it seem like a vengeful ghost. Strangely, it didn't kill me; it just kept chasing me until I was exhausted."

Nan Jue still feels lingering fear when she recalls what happened.

"Are there really such strange things in this world?" Zhao Manyan said.

"Are you sure it speaks a language similar to humans?" Jiang Yu asked seriously.

"That's right, but I don't know which language it is," Nan replied.

"It should be an elemental spirit." Jiang Yu said, and began to explain the concept of elemental spirits to everyone. Simply put, it is the soul of a dead person that dwells in a place filled with powerful elemental energy, in which case an elemental spirit may appear.

"No wonder we and the group that went missing before all encountered sandstorms. It's probably this desert vengeful spirit that's behind it." Although it was just a guess, Jiang Yu's tone was very certain.

"Have you seen anyone else?" After Lin Chen and the others finished talking, a female mage from the group that came with Nan Jue asked.

"No, I only saw fragments of their tent, about five or six kilometers away from here. I made a mark there, and you should be able to see it when you get close," Lin Chen replied.

"I hope they can be like you, sticking to a certain coordinate and not wandering around," said the super-level mage Devon.

"Your mission is complete. Now we'll take over. We'll go in and check the situation, but we hope you can rest here for now and not go too far. We might need your help later," the female mage continued.

Lin Chen and the others nodded, but in order to avoid being affected by the sandstorm again, they deliberately moved away from the maze area and rebuilt their tents.

These past few days, they've been on tenterhooks during their rest periods, fearing they might wake up and find themselves nowhere to go. Now they can finally rest in peace.

Lin Chen had barely crawled into the tent when he heard the howling of the wind outside, and an unusual atmosphere permeated the air.

Lin Chen and the others immediately left the tent and were shocked to find that in the direction of the desert maze, the sky and earth were covered in yellow dust, and the thick, rolling sand looked like a mudslide that was sweeping into the sky, which made them tremble with fear!

"Such a powerful sandstorm, it feels like it's coming this way," Jiang Yu said with a look of horror.

"Get out of here! This sandstorm is coming towards us!" Lin Chen shouted.

Lin Chen quickly summoned Garurumon, enlarging its size. Once everyone had jumped onto Garurumon's back, Garurumon immediately propelled itself forward, running like an arrow released from a bow.

In the blink of an eye, they had darted hundreds of meters away.

Garurumon raced for over thirty kilometers toward the Mediterranean Sea, but the raging sandstorm never stopped, following closely behind.

"Look!" Jiang Shaoxu shouted loudly.

At this moment, the sky is still blue towards the Mediterranean, but towards the Sahara Desert, it is a completely yellow, rolling dust storm.

At the top of the towering sandstorm, a proud figure can be seen!

Just as Nan Jue had described before, its entire body was shrouded in suspended sand, and its pupils were filled with intense resentment and restlessness.

Clearly, this sandstorm was its handiwork. It was like a commander standing amidst a vast army of sand, guiding the sand to sweep towards Lin Chen and the others.

Looking at the figure at the very top of the sandstorm, Nan Jue was filled with even greater shock: "Lin Chen, tell Garurumon to go faster, those sandstorm wraiths behind us are about to catch up."

"Holy crap, there's no escaping now!" Zhao Manyan's pupils widened, his face showing a look of panic, and he shouted in a terrified voice.

"Garurumon, you take them and go first. I'll hold it off for a while," Lin Chen instructed.

Lin Chen leaped off Garurumon, and at the same time, a figure emanating a terrifying aura appeared behind Lin Chen, stopping him as he landed rapidly.

Jiang Shaoxu and the others, riding on Garurumon, looked back at Lin Chen, but only saw a blurry, enormous body before their vision was obscured by the sand and dust in front of them.

The Sandstorm Wraith, hovering above the sandstorm, sensed MetalGreymon's presence and let go of the fleeing Garurumon and his gang, manipulating the sandstorm to sweep towards MetalGreymon.

MetalGreymon clenched its right hand, protecting Lin Chen within it, using its strong body to withstand the sandstorm's attack. At the same time, the cannon launcher on its chest opened, and two Ultimate Destruction Cannons containing terrifying energy were fired from them, accurately shooting towards the Sandstorm Wraith hovering above the sand.

"Bang!"

With a huge explosion, the sandstorm spirit also suffered serious damage. The sandstorm suddenly stopped, and the sky returned to clarity.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, MetalGreymon flapped its six wings and disappeared from the spot with a "whoosh," flying towards the Mediterranean Sea at an extremely fast speed.

The Sandstorm Wraith, recovering from the dizziness of the explosion, was about to chase after MetalGreymon when it discovered a terrifying energy coming from behind it. Clearly, during the time it was attacked by MetalGreymon, the group behind it had launched a counterattack.

The Sandstorm Wraith let out a furious roar in the direction where the Machinedramon had left, then turned and charged toward the Sahara Desert.

Are you alright?

When Lin Chen reappeared in front of Mo Fan and the others, they rushed forward and asked him what was wrong.

"I'm fine, but they probably won't make it out alive. It seems the sandstorm's vengeful spirits were just waiting for them," Lin Chen said.
