The actual sound waves did not spread out, but instead converged directly, transforming from the mouth into a huge, almost tangible white beam of light, which was then unleashed upon the Beast Giant.

brush! !

The speed of this sonic beam was incredible. The normal speed of sound in the air is over 300 meters per second. In some situations, it can be even faster. The speed of the sonic beam far exceeded the speed of normal sound. In the blink of an eye, in less than a second, it traversed the entire village and appeared before the Beast Giant.

The Beast Giant saw the Mountain Lord and the beam of light that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth, hurtling towards it. Without a second thought, it drew a thick iron rod from its back and prepared to smash the beam of light down.

This impact will definitely collide with the beam of light.

Strangely, the sonic beam veered off course before even touching the iron bar, bypassing it and striking the giant's chest instantly. The entire beam resembled a sharp spear. The beast giant's defenses were exceptional; its hide was renowned for its toughness even among black iron-rank monsters, and ordinary magical weapons couldn't even pierce it.

Previously, when desert army ants bit down, they would only bite off a single hair, without causing any damage to the skin.

Before this sonic beam, its body hair was instantly vaporized, and then its skin was forcibly pierced, mercilessly penetrating its chest and back. In less than a few breaths, a gruesome hole was left in its chest, a shocking sight. Moreover, the beam itself was composed of sonic waves; as it pierced the chest, the sonic waves began to spread throughout the giant's body, causing a second round of destruction.

Tiger King's Divine Power - Tiger King Sonic Cannon!
With a single attack, he fully demonstrated his power as the village's sacrificial spirit.

The Beast Giant let out a scream, but did not die on the spot.

Its size was so large that this potentially fatal injury was not so deadly. It merely showed signs of being severely injured, let out a miserable cry, and then turned and ran wildly into the distance. Its movements were so fast and its agility so great that it was even faster than an ape.

They ran away in the blink of an eye, leaving only their backs in the distance.

Clearly, knowing the power of the sacrificial spirits, they had no intention of fighting the village to the death.

"They ran away! They just ran away like that! What will happen to Old Liu? Old Liu was captured by that beast giant."

Qi Lin was dumbfounded. They were on the back of the Dragon King and had arrived at a very fast speed, but they did not expect that the giant would choose to turn around and run away so decisively, without any of the recklessness of a giant.

"The Tiger King in the village is so powerful! Giants are already very strong, but the Tiger King is even stronger than giants. He is an absolute top-tier existence among the Black Iron rank. Are all the sacrificial spirits this strong? Even giants couldn't withstand that beam of light. If it came for us, we would probably perish instantly."

Hu Youni's eyes flickered.

That blow left a very deep impression on her.

"Being able to stand tall in the Ruins of Return and exist for so long is definitely not just a matter of luck, but rather a testament to its own strength. The Spirit Sacrifice is the village's greatest source of confidence and one of its strongest trump cards. Shihu Village is indeed capable in this regard."

Ji Tianhao said in a deep voice, "As for Liu San, I'm afraid he's probably in grave danger."

"I just saw him being held in the giant's hand. When he was hit by the Tiger King's attack, the giant tried to throw him into the basket. In the pain, his body swayed and he didn't fall into the basket. Instead, he was thrown into an empty space, which must have landed in the desert outside. With that kind of force, he could have really died if he had been thrown out like that."

Just now, his eyes were still closely focused on Liu San's situation. It was truly lucky that he hadn't been carried away by the giant in the basket, but the actual situation was probably not so optimistic.

"I don't know if this old Liu is lucky or unlucky. Let's find him first. Even if he's dead, we should at least be able to find his body since he wasn't taken away by the giant."

Qi Lin shook his head.

Being pinched by a giant and then thrown out like that, the impact on the ground could break bones and even lead to death.

Without hesitation, Long Jun rushed out of the village and quickly searched in the direction where Liu San had been thrown.

We hope to find him as quickly as possible.

With a precise direction and based on the judgment of strength, the Dragon King can quickly lock onto the corresponding area; the Dragon King's speed is incredibly fast.

"Look, there's a sandpit over there. Did Liu San make it?"

Hu Youni suddenly pointed to a sand dune in front of her and clearly saw that something had smashed a crater into the dune.

"Go up and have a look."

Ji Tianhao nodded, and the Dragon Lord quickly headed towards the sand dune.

Upon reaching the sand dune, the Dragon King simply slapped his claw, causing a large amount of yellow sand to collapse and quickly separate to both sides, thus clearing the area around the sand pit.

But Liu San was nowhere to be seen in the sandpit.

Only a rag was found in the sandpit.

"The color of this piece of fabric is the same as the clothes Liu San is wearing. Judging from the torn marks, it must have been torn apart when his body rubbed against the sand during the fall. The shredded fabric is here, so how could Liu San not be here? Only a few minutes have passed, how could he have disappeared?"

Qi Lin stared at the tattered cloth, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and a shadow of gloom crossed his eyes. "Expand the search area and look again. Since we can see fragments here, it means that Liu San really did crash here. Why he's not here now is unknown. The Ruins of Return are full of unknowns, and no one can say for sure what might happen."

Ji Tianhao paused for a moment, no longer optimistic about the possible situation Liu San might encounter. Now he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

Whether Liu San lives or dies depends on his own fate.

“Listen, there seems to be some noise over there. It sounds like someone is playing music.”

Just then, Su Yue pointed in a direction and said.

There was a hill over there, and it seemed that you could hear a strange piece of music from there. The sound was very loud and had a strong penetrating power. All around, a large number of mummies kept emerging, and you could even see sand worms. As if they were startled by the music, they all crawled out and gathered in the direction from which the music came.

This situation is clearly unusual.

"Should we go over and take a look? This situation is clearly unusual. Perhaps Liu San's disappearance is related to this music."

Hu Youni looked curious and eager to try.

"The Ruins of Guixu are full of danger and unknowns, especially at night. We don't know what will happen. Whether we go or not, let's vote and decide together."

Ji Tianhao nodded, glanced around at everyone, and spoke.

The nights in Guixu are too dangerous. No one knows what might happen. Unless absolutely necessary, no one wants to wander around. It's risking your life.

“In this Ruins of Return, where is there any safe place? Even in the villages, the giants treat us like cabbages in the field or herbs in the medicinal garden, grabbing us whenever they want. I understand now, there is no truly safe place in this Ruins of Return. If you just cower in when you encounter danger, you'll just be waiting to die. I think we should go and take a look.”

Qi Lin took a deep drag of his cigarette, his eyes unfocused yet resolute.

Today's experience has completely shattered my previous illusion of peace.

In this desolate place, where is there peace and stability, where is there any absolute safety?

The only way to achieve peace is to continuously become stronger.

"I agree. By the way, Brother Hao, how strong is your Dragon Lord's defense? Can it withstand the sonic beam emitted by the Tiger King earlier?"

Hu Youni's eyes darted around as she asked.

"The Dragon Lord was forged from a rare treasure, so as a natal puppet, it has inherited some of the original treasure's abilities. It has a huge advantage in defense. It should be able to withstand the sonic beam just now without any problem."

Ji Tianhao immediately stated with certainty that he still had extremely strong confidence in his defensive capabilities.

Of course, any sense of security is relative; no one dares to claim absolute safety in the Void.

Even a tortoise shell shield isn't a panacea.

"I think you can go take a look."

Su Yue also gave a positive response.

After agreeing to everything, without hesitation, the Dragon King continued to stride forward in the direction from which the sound came. His massive body, six meters in diameter, stood on the sand without sinking into it, leaving no footprints. He moved as if walking on flat ground.

The power of the earth's veins has long been an instinct for the Dragon Lord.

Soon, they crossed another sand dune, which was much higher than the previous one, reaching over a hundred meters in height. Upon reaching the top of the dune, under the moonlight of the Golden Sands Moon, they were struck by a breathtaking sight.

All one could see was a vast number of mummies, dried corpses, and a large number of sandworm monsters rapidly converging. At a glance, there were probably no fewer than several thousand or even tens of thousands of them. This number was likely more than that, and the first sight of them was quite a shock to the mind.

Many of them were beings on par with the mummy pharaohs we had encountered before. Their overall aura was extremely eerie.

But that wasn't the part that shocked them the most.

What was truly shocking was that they saw a car.

A train.

Moreover, this train was clearly larger than a normal passenger train, and the thickness of its outer armor was immediately apparent; ordinary bullets wouldn't be able to penetrate it. The music we heard earlier was clearly coming from this train.

The music, whose origins were unknown, was something Ji Tianhao had never heard before, and it seemed to contain some kind of special, mysterious power.

The train was entirely black; without moonlight, it would easily blend into the darkness, invisible unless you got close. The train consisted of six carriages, perched on the sand, a truly colossal structure.
