Otherworldly Desert Dust

The crimson whiskers swayed, a sharp dragon horn, a pair of eyes dripping with blood!

The terrifying head of the Yin Dragon emerged from the neighboring street wall, locking its gaze on Wu Hen and Yu Yu, who were sprinting frantically down Old Commerce Street!

The Yin Dragon’s whiskers had a tremor perception of the surrounding space, allowing it to sense powerful vibrations around it.

The stronger the vibration, the more formidable the prey!

Wu Hen’s vibrations had long been detected by the Yin Dragon, but he hadn’t been among the top escapees.

But Wu Hen’s speed increased rapidly, acquiring two Yuan Yous in succession, and slaying the Ghost Bride, numerous Butchers, and the Cloth Bag Ghost Woman; his scent grew more potent, surpassing other high-level ingredients!

Because of this, it abandoned the pursuit of small fries, stealthily closing in on this fattened big fish...

"So thirsty, it’s been a long time since I had hot blood."

"This human drank the bride’s wine, marinated in it; his flesh and blood must be delicious."

"Brothers, a bit more effort, the wine-scented blood is coming!"

The Yin Craftsmen holding the Dragon Lamp wore rustic smiles, much like village uncles celebrating a festival, despite a night of hard work, just for that bowl of hot wine and cold dishes afterward!

The Dragon Head Craftsman, wearing a white tank top, raised the dragon head first with a high shout.

Quickly, the Dragon Neck Lamp Makers and Dragon Claw Lamp Makers also exerted their strength, bringing the entire upper body of the Yin Dragon to life.

Following behind were the Dragon Chest, Dragon Spine, Dragon Waist, and finally, the Dragon Tail...

The blood-red Yin Dragon instantly soared to the eaves, and the lamp craftsmen, each like martial arts experts, even scaled walls, leaping onto the continuous rooftops!

"Crack, crack, crack~~~~~"

Tiles were trampled, dozens of Yin Craftsmen’s eyes filled with frenzy, staring at Wu Hen and Yu Yu fleeing down the old street.

The blood-colored Yin Dragon they held danced in the air above the buildings, opened its mouth, and exhaled a terrifying breath of death onto the street!!

This death breath transformed into a horrifying bone-slicing wind, overturning the low buildings, and anyone hiding within those structures would be rendered into a bloody mess upon contact with this bone-slicing breath!

"Run! Run!"

"As long as it doesn’t catch you, it’ll enter energy-saving mode!"

Yu Yu flailed anxiously, desperately telling Wu Hen that if they survived this, they could proceed with their grand plan!

Wu Hen almost crawled on all fours, despite his Second Rank Physique enabling him to run fifty or sixty meters per second, he just couldn’t shake off the Yin Dragon behind him!

If it weren’t for the varied heights of buildings inside Yinzhou City and the narrow alleyways and high walls, he wouldn’t have been able to escape the Yin Dragon’s pursuit on a plain.

"No, you’re still thinking about the next step, let me survive first!" Wu Hen retorted, exasperated.

The original plan was to disrupt the Yin Dragon from capturing high-level ingredients; if it failed to capture its prey, it would inevitably decompose and enter a weaker form...

Who knew that in the blink of an eye, he would become a high-level ingredient? Disruption was no longer necessary, surviving alone was effective interference!

The problem was, how to survive???

The Yin Dragon was too fast, and its casual breath was lethal; being caught was only a matter of time.

"Little Yi, Little Yi, turning into Divine Boots is no use..." Wu Hen said.

Little Yi was also trying hard, but it didn’t know how to help its host.

"Flying Rope, it has to become a clawed flying rope!" Wu Hen instructed Little Yi.

Little Yi quickly understood Wu Hen’s intention, swiftly moving from his feet to his right hand.

Black jade fungal filaments appeared on Wu Hen’s right wrist, intertwining to form a claw rope that could be launched!

"Biu!"

Wu Hen extended his orchid fingers, though he wasn’t sure why he made this gesture.

The Flying Rope shot out, instantly grabbing the tip of an observation tower!

The filaments rapidly contracted, pulling Wu Hen up, making him soar to the top of the tower like Spider-Man!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~~~"

The horrific bone-slicing breath swept across the old street, turning many people who were still fleeing into skeletons in an instant.

Clinging to the observation tower, Wu Hen stared in horror at the incoming Yin Dragon!

"That tavern sign!" Wu Hen quickly instructed Little Yi.

Filaments sprouted from his right hand again, transforming into a flying rope that anchored to the tavern sign on another street!

Without waiting for the flying rope to fully secure, Wu Hen leaped, holding Yu Yu, using the falling force to fling himself to another street like a pendulum!

"Boom!!!"

The Yin Dragon’s massive body crashed into the observation tower, turning the towering Yinzhou tower into white foam that scattered down.

The tower couldn’t stop the Yin Dragon’s ferocity; it continued to rampage, smashing every obstructing building along its path without slowing down.

Yu Yu bit her lip, seeing the Yin Dragon always keeping a biting distance; there was nothing she could do but pray that her Spider-Man brother moved faster.

"Little Yi, you can fly quite far, right?" Wu Hen asked.

Little Yi confirmed affirmatively.

The Flying Rope could shoot up to a hundred meters, but there was nothing a hundred meters away!

The Yinzhou power was also conserving computing power; if there were no other Spirit Awakeners opening the way in front, the cityscape of Yinzhou wouldn’t be displayed.

Even a skilled housewife can’t cook without rice; Spider-Man can’t leap around in the countryside!

The further the Flying Rope could shoot, the faster Wu Hen could move, giving him a chance to shake off the Yin Dragon.

"Over there, over there." Yu Yu, aligned with her brother, seemed to understand his dilemma, continuously pointing in one direction.

Without thinking much, Wu Hen released a fifty-meter-long flying rope, leaping over a Liu building...

Behind the Liu building, there was still little street scenery, and the buildings erected by Yin Ant had a delay; looking around, Wu Hen couldn’t find a point to launch the fungal flying rope!

Just when he thought his sister was blind, Wu Hen saw a towering ghost two hundred meters away!

Stone Lion Ghost!!

This Stone Lion Ghost initially stood quietly at the gates of a mansion, like most stone lions, but as it consumed more people, it grew bigger.

Now, it was tall like a small city tower; no one dared to approach it anymore!

No wonder the surrounding scenery disappeared; even wise Spirit Awakeners stayed hundreds of meters away when they knew the Stone Lion was a Stone Ghost!

Without buildings to hook the claw, borrowing the ghost to fly was a good idea!

Not bad, my sister indeed had wisdom just slightly inferior to mine.

Wu Hen immediately extended his hand, launching the fungal flying rope!

The long fungal filaments, like steel cables, precisely anchored onto the towering, majestic Stone Lion Ghost.

The Stone Lion Ghost remained motionless in a fake nap, inactive without nearby humans.

Its blood-stained mouth and rather foolish nature were known to the entire Yinzhou City; it still stood there self-deceivingly, waiting for prey to approach.

Suddenly, it felt something flying toward it!

Two young humans, their unique fragrance made the Stone Lion Ghost instantly excited.

There were indeed dumb humans!

Here came someone delivering themselves into its mouth! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Stone Lion opened its stone eyes, intending to swallow the incoming meat in one bite!

However, the two moved so fast that by the time its teeth gap opened, they were already above its head...

The Stone Lion Ghost froze, unsure how to eat something on its head.

"Roar~~~~~~~~~"

A blood-red Yin Dragon followed closely, lunging terrifyingly at the Stone Lion!

The Stone Lion was so scared its eyeballs rolled out, despite its robust size; it was still a skinny dog compared to the Yin Dragon!

The Stone Lion hurriedly lay flat, transforming into a large stone dog.

The Yin Dragon’s dozens of lamp craftsmen’s dirty feet heavily stomped on the Stone Lion’s head, using it to spring back into the air!

Clearly, the Dragon Dance Lamp Makers were furious; if not for this interfering lion dog, they would have already caught their high-level ingredient!

"Smack!!"

The Yin Dragon flew past but still swatted the Stone Lion with its tail.

The Stone Lion Ghost felt extremely wronged; it had peacefully squatted here, bothering no one, yet got trampled and slapped!

Being a Yin Ghost was tough!

...

"Brother, over there, they’ve lured it to Old Commerce Street!" Yu Yu excitedly pointed, signaling Wu Hen to escape toward the specified location.

Wu Hen glanced at her; this mute girl, almost speaking.

"I heard their signal; stop waving your hands in my face!" Wu Hen said exasperatedly.

Fortunately, Little Yi was a fully automatic three-dimensional device; otherwise, carrying this legless girl, he wouldn’t run fast.

Using the Stone Lion Ghost, Wu Hen had distanced himself from the Yin Dragon.

The Yin Dragon had been gliding and exhaling evil breaths, chasing him across dozens of streets; its energy was likely running out, and he just needed to lure it to Old Commerce Street!

Glancing back, he saw the Yin Dragon not flying anymore, obediently weaving through street scenes.

Wu Hen, mastering the hooked rope wall-climbing technique, even slowed down a bit, giving the Yin Dragon a chance to catch up, or it might abandon him for other prey.

"Wu Hen, our people have evacuated from Old Commerce Street; just lure the Yin Dragon in!" Fei Ying’s voice echoed from the old street.

Wu Hen smiled slightly.

The Vulture Party, all of you are going to die!

And you, Yin Dragon.

Enjoy chasing me?

In a while, I’ll skin you, pull your tendons, and show you my prowess!

"Slurp~~"

Little Yi was already licking its mouth.

Even without the Black Divine Death Sword, it would savor a sumptuous dragon meat broth!

The Yin Dragon of Cangxia Crown Realm, so spicy and fragrant!
