Chapter 349 – Falling into the Sea

After the third lock was successfully unlocked, he could only leave it to Sapphire.

Originally, Shao Xuan thought he would be able to get the results in a short time. However, after unraveling the third lock, Sapphire went into a sleep-like state. It had no reaction to the outside world, under a state similar to hibernation.

Shao Xuan was not at ease. He planned to wait longer, but he heard the Jinjiawei’s movement.

Shao Xuan had some admiration for the obsession of those chasing him.

This was already the tenth day. In addition to looking for food and a short rest, the rest of the Jinjiawei’s time was in pursuit. Not only those Jinjiawei, even what they’re riding that look like camels or horses also have excellent patience. They were cold and heat resistant, could carry weight and last for a long time running. As for Shaqi City and Skywheel City who had been following closely behind the Jinjiawei, they were being left the farther away they had chased.

Seeing that Sapphire still has not moved, Shao Xuan chose not to carry it while running away. After all, those people and beasts chasing him were not after the beetle. Lifting Sapphire, he placed it on the sand dunes and dug the sand around Sapphire to cover it.

The Bi Luos identified that their target was Shao Xuan, therefore, for other things aside from Shao Xuan, they did not care at all and ignored.

The team chased Shao Xuan, bringing up a burst of dust. The Bi Luos issued a sharp crying sound, flapping its wings and pointing its long nose straight at Shao Xuan.

When the dust dissipated, the place was restored to its original appearance. The violent wind scraped the sand from the sand dunes to other places. Soon, there was no sign of movement.

Shao Xuan felt like he had found this dead end on his own.

Escaping to the left, he’d face the jurisdiction of Shaqi City, to the right was the position of Skywheel City. Moreover, he was now able to see some minimal growth in the numbers of Skywheel City.

Shao Xuan also could not determine what he had been thinking, running this way in a daze. Waiting for a miracle, only to find that he had stupidly put himself in a dead end. He knew that he should not be negligent of his escape. The desert was so huge, that even if he took a detour to the back of those Jinjiawei, then he could still find a chance to run back and break open this situation. However, after he had a run up, Shao Xuan felt his consciousness being controlled, directly making him run forward.

There were birds flying in the sky. It was not the wild birds in the desert, but the domesticated birds of the people of Skywheel City. There were even people on the backs of the birds.

Although Skywheel City has not launched a fierce large-scale war with other cities and only had a small friction with Shaqi City, they were also affected by the tension in the desert. Every day, there were long-distance patrol teams out to search. Now, Shao Xuan had encountered these Skywheel City patrol team.

On the right, there was the Skywheel City patrol team with an ambush. Behind was the pursuit of the Jinjiawei, while in front, was a cliff by the sea.

Normally, it would be the time for a normal person to run to the left. However, Shao Xuan actually ran straight ahead.

At the moment, Shao Xuan felt his legs were not like his own, uncontrollably running straight forward. His mind did not think of other stuff, until the moment he jumped. Shao Xuan suddenly woke up. Unfortunately, he had already jumped…

“I’m an idiot…”

Jumping from a height, he fell hard into the blue sea and sank.

Shao Xuan felt as if someone was dragging him down as he continued falling straight under water.
