And, what role did it play?
‘I feel that the secret should be underneath this grinder…’
Alex said to Phoenix, “The endpoint of this flowing divine blood is the start of this predicament.”
Phoenix sighed. “However, we are no different from ants right now. We simply have no way to explore it. Besides, we still don’t know how to get out.”
“That’s true.” Alex said, “But, I remember Sinless City is underneath the expanse of desert in front of the gate of the Pantheon Tomb… Could it be that the place where the sky split open just now is where the Pantheon Tomb is located?”
Unfortunately, he had no way to communicate with the Pantheon Tomb now. Everything had turned out to be a dead end.
It was then that Phoenix saw someone approaching silently on the other side of the grinder.
At a glance, it was the Undead Queen.
Clearly, her cultivation was also under restriction. Moreover, what was unluckier was that she was walking with a limp as if she had a broken leg. Her goal was probably that half Five-clawed Golden Dragon.
“It’s the Undead Queen!”
“It’s really that devil! Haha! Take her life while she is ill!”
“I’ll go kill her!”
Alex was overjoyed. He immediately picked Phoenix up and rushed down.
Phoenix said, “She is shivering and is crippled now. Don’t ever let her drink the dragon’s blood. Otherwise, she will most probably recover from her leg injury and restore her mobility in a short time.”
“Alright!”
There were many ancient buildings in this gigantic city. After searching around, Alex found a decent hiding place next to the vast grinder. He hurriedly took Phoenix’s hand and ran inside… After half a minute, he held a large broken jar and rushed toward the Five-clawed Golden Dragon. He feared that the sandstorm would bury it, and the dragon’s blood could no longer be found. It just so happened that a broken jar was inside that building.
He instantly rushed over and filled it up before running back. Right after he ran back, the sky turned dark suddenly. The surroundings had really become pitch-black.
He had no cultivation and the primordial eye, so he could not see anything. After calling out to Phoenix twice, he found her by following the voice.
“How was it?”
“I got a jar. There’s nothing I could do about the rest.”
Phoenix took his hand and sat down on the side. “This hellhole is too weird. It’s really unbearable. In order to prevent the Undead Queen from sneaking over, we should take turns to rest. I have just taken a nap. It’s your turn to sleep now. I’ll keep watch.’”
Alex nodded. He unreservedly laid down and pillowed his head on Phoenix’s lap right away.
