The monster was incredibly powerful. It unleashed several wind blades, severing the girl with white clothes and black hair beside it. The severed girl then transformed into another girl with the same appearance. Ignoring her own safety, she drew her sword and charged at the monster.
Before long, the monster seemed to be enraged and unleashed dozens of wind blades, shredding all the girls around it into pieces.
At this moment, there were no more girls around the monster. Li Xue's face was pale. She wanted to call for the emperor, but suddenly remembered something and quickly shut her mouth, not daring to make a sound.
After running for a short while, Wang Mu looked back and saw that the monster was chasing after him. He put Li Xue down and hurriedly released a puppet.
The puppet transformed into a woman in white, wielding a long sword, and charged towards the pursuing monster.
Wang Mu didn't even look, and continued to run forward with Li Xue on his back.
"Your Majesty, quickly put me down, and you should escape."
"Lixue, I will not abandon you."
"The Emperor."
"Enough said."
Two lines of tears streamed down Lixue's face. She knew that the emperor would never abandon her, so she could only remain silent.
After running for about twenty minutes, Wang Mu heard roars behind him and knew that the monster was catching up again.
He put Lixue down and released two puppets this time, hoping they could block the monsters behind them.
These were the last two puppets. Now that he had lost all his internal energy, he could no longer quickly make puppets, and setting up ordinary formations would take several tens of minutes.
After the two puppets rushed past, Lixue didn't make him carry her this time. She just said, "Your Majesty, let's run!"
They ran wildly for a while and finally saw no monster chasing them. But the two dared not relax for a moment and continued running forward. They didn't know where they were. The surrounding light was dim, and it seemed that they had reached a corner.
"Your Majesty, what's that over there?" Li Xue said, pointing to a spot.
"It's a teleportation array." Wang Mu was taken aback, thinking that this was truly a stroke of luck. "Lixue, let's go quickly!"
Lixue nodded. The two hadn't run halfway when they heard the monster's roar behind them, knowing that the monster was chasing them again.
The two gritted their teeth and used every ounce of strength they had to finally reach the teleportation array. Fortunately, the spatial energy array was still usable.
The teleportation array in front of us is more than ten square meters in size. It can teleport not only two people, but even the monster.
They didn't care where they were teleported to, as long as they could get rid of the monster. They ran into the teleportation array, and the next second, the spiritual energy array activated, emitting bursts of light.
Seeing that the monster was only a dozen meters away from the teleportation array, Wang Mu quickly took out all the poison powder and threw it around. Fortunately, he had given Lixue the antidote earlier.
The teleportation array activated, and the two disappeared instantly.
Enraged, the monster charged straight to the teleportation array. The poison entered its body, but the monster didn't care and seemed determined to devour them.
Wang Mu and Li Xue flashed to another place, quickly walked out of the teleportation array, and saw a bright spot in front of them, which seemed to be a cave entrance. They assumed it was the exit and ran in that direction.
Just as they reached the cave entrance, they heard a roar from behind, which startled them. They hadn't expected the monster to follow them.
Fortunately, the monster was poisoned and moved a step slower. Only its head and lower part were teleported over, but its lower body was not, and it was immediately cut into several pieces by the spatial rift.
The monster was about to die, and in its final moments, it roared and chose to self-destruct, exploding violently.
Wang Mu quickly shoved Li Xue hard, and he also jumped violently. The explosion of the sand dune behind him sent the sand flying dozens of meters high before falling back down, forming a vortex of quicksand.
Ignoring the pain, he grabbed Lixue and ran. The fine sand flowed beneath their feet, and they could only desperately climb upwards, lest they be buried again by the quicksand.
Wang Mu has no internal strength. If he is buried by the quicksand, he will truly sleep forever beneath this sand.
After running for more than ten minutes, the two finally reached the top of the sand dune, where the yellow sand stopped flowing.
They breathed a sigh of relief, panting heavily, and lay on the yellow sand, letting the large beads of sweat flow down their faces.
Now, after who knows how much time has passed, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, they know they have escaped with their lives.
After a while, Wang Mu laughed loudly, "Haha, we're finally out, we're out!"
Lixue cheered, "Yes, we escaped! Your Majesty, we didn't die!"
"Well, it seems like heaven hasn't forsaken me."
Lixue didn't speak. Thinking of her narrow escape, two lines of tears fell again.
"Lixue, why are you crying?"
Lixue hugged Wang Mu and said, "Your Majesty, I'm so happy, really. I thought we were going to perish at the hands of that monster."
"Lixue, I'm so sorry you've suffered."
"The Emperor."
At this moment, Lixue thought about how the two of them had encountered countless dangers and escaped death several times underground, and she couldn't help but burst into tears and laughter again.
Wang Mu stroked her short hair, a smile appearing on his face, yet his heart ached, and he hugged Lixue to his chest.
After resting, the two prepared to leave the place. Looking at the huge sand pit in front of them, they couldn't help but let out another long sigh.
Wang Mu chose a direction and led Li Xue into the desert.
The endless yellow sand seemed to stretch on forever, but fortunately, the two still had food and water, and even their tent was intact.
However, Wang Mu had lost his internal energy, and even his puppet and poison powder were gone, greatly reducing his ability to protect himself, which inevitably made him worried and anxious.
Fortunately, they didn't encounter any powerful magical beasts on the way. They traveled for three or four days when they suddenly heard the neighing of horses.
Both of them were startled, but with nowhere to hide, they could only stand there and wait quietly.
Just then, a troop of cavalry came running from the sand dunes to the side. Wang Mu, protecting Li Xue, looked nervous and silently watched the newcomers, not knowing who they were.
The cavalrymen rode up to them, dismounted, and knelt down. One of the leaders said, "Your Majesty, we have finally found you."
"Who are you?" Wang Mu asked, pretending nothing was wrong.
“We were sent by His Majesty and His Highness. The day Elder Tingxin’s remnants attacked you, causing you and Lixue to fall into quicksand. They sent thousands of palace guards to search for you. Fortunately, we found you and the princess.”
Wang Mu nodded, but he dared not be careless. Although the other party appeared to be a palace guard based on his attire, he feared that the other party might be a hidden enemy.
He remained calm and said, "We are fine. Although it took some trouble to get stuck in the quicksand, how could quicksand possibly harm us? We are alright, you can go back and report."
"Aren't you coming back with us, sir?"
Wang Mu said, "We've been away from the academy for a while now, and it's time for us to go back."
The leader knew that the two people in front of him were students of the academy, just like his prince. After hearing this, he did not try to persuade them further, but simply said, "Alright, let's go back immediately."
"Alright, please convey my gratitude to His Majesty and His Highness for their concern." Wang Mu said with a smile.
The leader nodded and took out something: "My lord, this is a token from the palace. From here, it takes three to five days to reach the Rordao Oasis, and then a few more days to the east to enter the Illusion Moon Empire."
