Chapter 39: CH 38

The location of this asteroid was quite well hidden, without any mark on the star map. If they hadn’t followed in, perhaps this place would have been subconsciously ignored.

The battleship that followed the starship slowly landed on the ground.

The climate of this planet was quite bad. The yellow sand was long and vast, and there were strong winds blowing from time to time making the sand and dust rise, and the existence of the oasis couldn’t be seen at a glance.

As soon as Ji Xingjue stepped out of the battleship, a handful of sand blew on his face. He spoke while spitting, “It doesn’t look good to set up a lair in this kind of place.”

Another wave of yellow sand rolled up, Qi Qing came to block in front of him in time, and tilted his head: “En?”

“Since they have chosen this kind of suffering place, it is clear that most of the elites of the Holy Order don’t have much time to enjoy life. They want to put an end to humanity—well, at least the desire to destroy the Empire and the Alliance is real.”

Ji Xingjue’s analysis was clear and logical. No longer letting Qi Qing shield him from the wind and sand, he stepped forward in three or two steps, and walked side by side with him. “Since approaching this planet, the magnetic field has been disturbed, and my signal can’t be sent out. Is the locator you gave that friend still useful?”

Qi Qing had already sent a signal, and said lightly: “Probably.”

“This may not be good,” Ji Xingjue rubbed the dirt off his Adam’s apple, his face didn’t seem to show much fear, “Then let’s proceed with caution.”

Qi Qing narrowed his eyes: “They just disappeared in front.”

There was not a single thing presenting in the front, just a whirlpool of quicksand, flowing slowly with the wind.

Ji Xingjue bent over to pick up a stone and threw in. Watching the stone engulfed by the whirlpool, he paused: “I have a small idea, which is to be more adventurous.”

He smiled at Qi Qing: “Does Lord Marshal dare do it?”

Qi Qing withdrew his observation gaze, and slightly raised the tip of his brow, revealing an arrogance that could not be concealed. “Why don’t I dare?”

He then approached the whirlpool: “I’ll go down first, and send you a message when I get there.”

Ji Xingjue’s hands were fast, he grabbed Qi Qing’s hand and clenched it with a face full of smiles. “That’s not good, leave me alone, I’ll be afraid.”

Qi Qing: “…”

‌

Qi Qing was a little stiff, glancing at their palms joining together, and pursed his lips: “…As you wish.”

The moment they approached the whirlpool quicksand, a suction force came, and the support under their feet was completely lost, and the two suddenly fell straight down below!

Qi Qing pulled Ji Xingjue closer to him with his backhand, and protected his head. The process of falling was very short, and after a while, the two of them fell into another unfamiliar world.

This was an underground palace.

Ji Xingjue fell on top of Qi Qing while being protected by him. He shook his head, propped up on his chest, and sat on his body, before blinking and looking around: “Eh, there seems to be no one here ah.”
