Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl - Chapter 502
Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Speculation
The subsequent exploration indirectly confirmed Jiang Xiaobai’s conjecture.
This place really was the backyard garden of some person or power, as they once again encountered a Ling medicine garden!
However, these Ling medicines were not highly advanced, just some common basic ones, but their growth time was truly terrifying.
The efficacy of the medicines had reached its peak. Jiang Xiaobai casually picked a little Ling medicine and stashed it away, continuing his exploration.
He was eager to find the location of Ao Yan and the others, but he had almost covered half of this secret space and could not see any trace of the trio.
Moreover, along the way, although there were many good things, they were not as exaggerated as what Mu Qingyu had said before.
“Now the only area left to search is the east, let’s go and see, if…”
Zhuang Huanling spoke, leaving the rest of her words unspoken.
No one wanted to hear words of defeat.
“No problem, this place should be a secret base of some sect. I guess there must be a main base somewhere that we have not discovered yet. It must be in the eastern area. I estimate that Ao Yan and the others are probably there.”
Jiang Xiaobai spoke indifferently, but he started moving faster.
Arriving at the eastern area, their swift strides came to an abrupt halt.
Because what appeared before them was a ruin!
It appeared to be the area of a large sect!
“As expected, this is a sect’s own secret realm,” Jiang Xiaobai murmured, his heart fluttering with anticipation.
Ao Yan has not appeared so far, so she must be in this area.
Hereafter, the trio began to carefully investigate the area.
From the level of wreckage, it seemed that this place had been abandoned for hundreds of years. The traces of the array, and the materials used to construct the main hall were all severely decayed.
If there were any treasures in this place, it would be a miracle.
However, there are quite a few people here, dozens of whom walked into the area to carefully examine the corners, hoping to find some opportunities.
Everyone became extremely alert when they met and no altercations broke out; it simply wasn’t worth it to fight in this place.
As they ventured deeper into the ruins, they found nothing of value, and Jiang Xiaobai had seen no trace of Ao Yan and the others.
Just when Jiang Xiaobai was puzzled, he suddenly saw someone from a family that had a good relationship with the An Family.
“Brother, have you seen my friends?” Jiang Xiaobai approached.
He had a deep impression of this person. This family appeared to have a good relationship with Mu Qingyu when they were at the An Family’s main hall.
The man also recognized Jiang Xiaobai and rushed to say, “Behind, I came from there. There’s a desert of sand dunes where there’s absolutely nothing, quite clean. I saw your friends there.”
At these words, Jiang Xiaobai’s heart trembled with joy.
No treasure could be more important than his wife.
Jiang Xiaobai thanked the man gratefully and even gave him some Ling stones as a token of gratitude.
He then dashed towards the area behind him and true enough, he saw a large desert. Just as he was about to rush into it, Mo Yu caught Jiang Xiaobai’s wrist.
“Look there.”
Mo Yu pointed ahead.
Looking over, they saw the sands of the dune moving and suddenly a pair of human legs emerged from it, followed by a giant black scorpion, biting into a human corpse as it crawled out.
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai and the others, the scorpion immediately abandoned the corpse in its mouth and charged towards them.
Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes, “So, this place is dangerous.”
A sword swept past, and the black scorpion was instantly bisected.
Without waiting for Jiang Xiaobai to proceed, the sand dune churned again and one by one, giant scorpions emerged from it, becoming a dense swarm.
Jiang Xiaobai and the others were shocked at the sight!
What a joke, there were so many!
Although these giant scorpions were not very strong, their sheer numbers were overwhelming. There were countless numbers crawling out from the sand dunes, not to mention how many more were hiding deep within the dunes!
Looking at the endless sand dunes behind them, Jiang Xiaobai’s brows furrowed in deep worry.
If the situation behind them was similar to this, then the chances for Ao Yan and the others seemed slim!
“We cannot delay any longer, we must hurry in and find them!”
Jiang Xiaobai let out a cold huff. His sword swept forward fiercely, sending out an astonishing display of sword energy.
The terrifying power of the sword could cut even those in the mid-stage of crossing tribulation. Although the scorpions were numerous, they stood no chance.
With a single swing, the sword split the sand dune in front of him in two. Everywhere the sword radiance passed, not a single scorpion survived!
Black fragments of scorpion bodies flew all over the sky, the nauseating stench of blood filled the air.
The scorpions seemed to have been frightened by Jiang Xiaobai’s formidable strength. After witnessing the power of his sword, the remaining scorpions burrowed into the sand and disappeared.
Ignoring the digressing scorpions, Jiang Xiaobai soared into the sky, hoping to find traces of Ao Yan and the others as soon as possible.
As a result, flying in the air attracted more scorpions, and the pace of the heavens and the earth seemed to be restricted as the resistance in the air increased tremendously!
Eventually, even using Wind Evasion, Jiang Xiaobai could no longer fly, and he had to land on the sands, releasing sword radiance as he swept forward.
Others were walking cautiously around here, fearing an ambush, but Jiang Xiaobai was different. He was not afraid of being ambushed, instead, he was worried that there were no scorpions.
Wherever he went, he stirred up the scorpions. They emerged one after another and as soon as they crawled out of the sand, Jiang Xiaobai slaughtered them with his sword.
In this way, after walking for a full half an hour and seeing many bodies of monks but still no traces of Ao Yan, Jiang Xiaobai became even more worried.
Looking at the yet-to-be-explored desert in front of him, his heart clenched in worry.
At that moment, he saw what seemed to be something black behind a sand dune.
Killing all the scorpions who were burrowing out due to the disturbance, he speedily reached the top of the sand dune.
He then witnessed a black castle standing silently in the barren desert not far away.
Upon seeing it, Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes.
Previously, they had passed through the ruins of a collapsed sect. That place was a relic of a sect, but it was already a ruin.
However, the black castle in front of him showed no signs of damage at all, inevitably arousing suspicion.
Remembering the safety of Ao Yan and the others, Jiang Xiaobai decided to stop thinking too much and went straight forward.
He thought to himself, they probably saw this thing and went inside.
The more he thought about this, the faster he moved.
Zhuang Huanling and Mo Yu, who followed closely, watched as Jiang Xiaobai suddenly disappeared before their eyes.
