Chapter 165: Sandstorm (5)
Closer to the center of the sandstorm, the stronger the storm's attraction, the more restricted the divine essence is.
A group of demigods closely following Gras all had extremely solemn expressions.
This is simply a gamble, a gamble of life and death.
If they win, they can escape the pursuit of the Crystal Beast group and survive; if they lose, they will either be torn to pieces by the storm or buried in the mouth of the Crystal Beast, with no place to bury their bodies.
This gamble was one that nobody wanted to take, but they had no choice because most of them had no other options.
Looking at those terrifying green crystal beasts, even a few upper-ranking sub-gods had no choice but to closely follow behind Gracias.
For an upper-ranking Lesser God, the possibility of easily escaping from this vast Crystal Beast horde is also very small; even a top-ranking Lesser God would choose to temporarily retreat.
As a member of the hunting squad, abandoning teammates and escaping alone is also a very shameful thing in the cultivation world.
If it weren't absolutely necessary, nobody would be willing to do this.
"Everyone keep up, don't fall behind." Glass said in a low voice.
"Support each other a bit more. Trust me. I can take you out safely."
Claire constantly observed and analyzed the storm's movement while continuously changing the team's route.
As for the wounded Laiting, Grass handed him over to the upper-ranking assistant god Dongfeng beside him. He directly ignored Dongfeng's astonished gaze.
After all, Dongying was also a high-ranking demigod. It was natural that he could easily detect the use of relatively advanced alchemy medicine to heal injuries by Laiting.
Dong Feng's mouth opened involuntarily and then closed again. This was not the time to ask questions.
At this time, Grass needs to concentrate all his energy on analyzing the team's route. After all, he can't completely entrust the fate of the hunting squad to luck. The last chance at survival still has to be fought for by himself.
Grass led the hunting party into the sandstorm, constantly weaving in and out along the edge of the storm.
The hunting party did not get too close to the storm center, and was several kilometers away at its closest.
This distance was already at the limit of what a mid-tier deity could withstand, and if they were any closer, even a mid-tier deity would be unable to resist the storm's suction. This was not something that Gras could afford to consider.
The lower-ranking angel Hatenkou was handed over to the higher-ranking angel Freyr for care.
Although he knew that Tian Xin was not simple and might be able to withstand the strong suction of the storm, at this time, Ge Las did not dare to let him take risks.
If it's a bad one, Tianxin will be swept away by the storm, and there won't be any chance for regret.
Seeing Tian Xin take out the precious fifth-grade healing potion for Lantis to use without saying a word, Gulas already considered him a friend. Gulas didn't want anything unexpected to happen to Tian Xin, or else things would be hard to explain to Lantis.
The hunting party slithered through the storm like a snake.
Graus led the way, with Tien Shinhan and Frieza bringing up the rear of the group.
Tian Xin was originally at the back of the team. With the care of the upper-ranking god Ferre, Tian Xin didn't move forward much either.
It's all the same to Tian Xin.
For Grass, as long as Tianxin doesn't fall behind, he's at ease.
As for Tian Xin's position in the team, whether it is a bit forward or backward, Gulas would naturally not care.
Since Tian Xin doesn't care, Ge Las doesn't care, then Frey will care even less.
Frey used his elemental powers to help Tianxin resist the storm's suction while secretly manipulating his magical communication ball.
Apart from Tian Xin, no one else noticed Frey's small action.
Maybe even if it's discovered, nobody will pay too much attention to it.
After this storm is over, it should be time for the next one to begin, might as well get it over with early, heaven.

Bang.
A yellow crystal beast that was running suddenly stopped abruptly, and the yellow crystal beast following closely behind did not stop in time. The two yellow crystal beasts collided with each other and rolled into a ball.
"Squeak."
Two crystal beasts quickly climbed up and made dissatisfied noises towards each other.
Looking at the sandstorm in the distance, the two crystal beasts retreated a few steps in terror.
For sandstorms, these crystal beasts have an instinctive fear, and even green crystal beasts are no exception.
If it weren't for the green crystal beast in front of them, the two yellow crystal beasts would have definitely run away.
The farther away from sandstorms, the better.
Dozens of green crystal beasts at the forefront stopped and gazed far away at the hunting squad that had entered the sandstorm.
Many ferocious green crystal beasts crushed the stones beside them into powder.
These green crystal beasts seem to be thinking about whether to follow in or wait for the hunting party to leave.
"Hiss."
A green crystal beast let out an impatient cry and then quickly left with a group of yellow crystal beasts.
There is always a second one after the first one.
The hunting party has been in the sandstorm for a while, and no one has come out yet. The sandstorm is getting closer, and some green crystal beasts have chosen to leave.
Even if the storm's destructive power on the green crystal beast wasn't too great, there was no green crystal beast that wanted to be swept up by the storm, flung out, and then heavily dropped down.
Most of the green crystal beasts chose to leave, some green crystal beasts chose to keep a distance from the sandstorm and continued to watch.
However, a green crystal beast in the shape of a tiger stopped for a moment outside the sandstorm and then chose to enter the storm alone, continuing to hunt down the small team.
————————————
"I didn't expect Gelas to let Xiaosan take care of that Qiantian, this is a rare opportunity."
"Let Xiao San find an opportunity to take that Tian away, but don't let Grass and the others suspect anything, make it look like an accidental coincidence." He De said calmly.
Hed is now somewhat annoyed, he didn't expect Grass to be so bold, leading the hunting squad into the sandstorm, trying to use the sandstorm to shake off the crystal beast's pursuit.
Although Grass's chances of success were not great, Hurd did not want to wait any longer.
"I don't know why this green crystal tiger followed, but I think it's related to the one that Grass and the others killed before. Tell Sanzi about this, if he can make good use of this green crystal tiger, it will be a great opportunity, let him seize it well, don't disappoint me."
The situation of the hunting squad, Xiao San, also known as Upper God Frey, was all transmitted back to Klayce for further instructions.
Take away the question of heaven, this is undoubtedly the best time.
If this opportunity is missed, it will continue to wait and see how long it will take.
As for Grass's hunting squad, they can still follow from behind, and without asking Tian, they can act more freely, Hei Da thought to himself.
"Yes, Lord Hert. Xiao San will absolutely not disappoint you." Klaes hastily replied.

A man in black looked at the distant scene, furrowed his brow, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
He took out a magic messaging ball with a flick of his hand, sent a message, and then stood still in his original position, unmoving, as if everything before him had nothing to do with him.
