Chapter 249: Chapter 249- Swallowed In One Go

The aftermath of the clash didn’t die down for a long while. When it eventually did, Mar-Yue was seen looking at Sol who was relatively fine with a shocked look on her face.

"H-How were you able to block that?"

Sol swallowed the bit of blood that came up his throat as he walked towards Mar-Yue.

If he had taken off his bracelets then he could have easily handled Mar-Yue’s punch, and even though he could handle it somewhat with his base power despite not having an elemental Aether Energy that could reinforce his strength, Mar-Yue having all of her acupoints open and being someone who was truly a Quasi-Spiritual Realm cultivator caused his internal organs to rattle a bit. That was adding to her Fire Aether Energy that reinforced her fist strike.

After Sol stopped in front of her, Mar-Yue looked at him and asked.

"You have all of your bones refined as well?"

Sol nodded.

"Can you keep your end of the deal?"

Mar-Yue went silent at that, then she muttered softly.

"I don’t have it?"

"...What did you just say?"

Sol asked after a passed, he thought he must have heard wrong.

Mar-Yue face scrunched up and she looked at Sol before yelling.

"I said I don’t have it! I used both of them! Why wouldn’t I use them? I definitely used them!"

Mar-Yue then turned her head away, but Sol followed her gaze.

"Hey, I really need the Deep Autumn Flower."

"Ugh, I said don’t have it."

Mar-Yue then turned away again, but Sol followed her gaze once more.

"But you said you would give it to me if I withstand your punch and I did. Do you just not want to give it to me?"

Mar-Yue turned away again and didn’t answer Sol, but Sol continued to follow her line of sight.

The two spun in circles with Mar-Yue not wanting to meet his gaze, and Sol insistent on her holding up her end of the deal.

Finally, Mar-Yue felt so stressed by Sol’s insisting nagging, and sad expression she said.

"Fine! If you want it so badly then I can just ask Father to get one for you. Now will you stop pestering me?"

Mar-Yue pushed Sol away so she couldn’t see his desperate expression.

"How long would it be if you asked your Father to get it?"

"I don’t know. When the dimension opens I’ll ask him to get one."

"When the dimension opens? It’s in the Barbarian Race’s Dimension?"

Yoon-Jae asked as he came up to the two, his face scrunched up into a frown.

"That’s what I said."

Yoon-Jae turned to Sol and explained.

"The Barbarian Race’s dimension is not like the one in Jianghu, it only opens a few times during the year."

Sol got nervous when he heard that, and he turned to Mar-Yue and asked.

"When will the dimension open?"

"I don’t know."

Hearing this, Sol turned to Mar-Dule who approached them.

He shook his head and said.

"It opens at irregular intervals, so I don’t know."

They all then turned to Mar-El who also approached them.

She shook her head and then said.

"I just came back to the tribe, so I don’t know as well."

"Damn it, why does no one know?"

Sol was starting to get angry and a bit agitated.

Yoon-Jae placed a hand on his shoulder to calm him down.

"Well, only Father and the Elders can go inside so they’re the ones who would know."

That confused Sol a bit, but he didn’t get time to ask since Mar-Yue looked at him and said with a frown.

"Why are you getting so upset? With that attitude, I wouldn’t have given it to you even if I had it."

Sol glanced at Mar-Yue before he paused and collected himself.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you when I’m the one asking for the Deep Autumn Flower."

Mar-Yue watched as Sol bowed towards her as he apologized. She was quite taken aback by how quickly he apologized.

The frown that was on her face and the bad impression she was developing towards Sol disappeared.

"Why are you in such a rush? Is it that important you get the Deep Autumn Flower?"

"Big sis, Sol’s pet beast is dying and he needs the Deep Autumn Flower to save him."

"Oh."

Mar-Yue said as she glanced at Sol; a hesitant expression appeared on her face but she quickly hid it.

However, Mar-Dule was close to his sister. When he saw this he said.

"Big sis, do you really not have one of the Deep Autumn Flower? I know how spiteful you can be. Just because you didn’t get Sol to be your punching dummy, it’s going too far if you-"

BANG!

Mar-Dule spurted blood out of his mouth as Mar-Yue’s fist connected to his left side and sent him flying.

"Ah! You broke two more of my ribs!"

Mar-Dule cried out as he clutched his side.

"That’s what you get. I said I don’t have it, so I don’t have it! So what if he doesn’t become my punching dummy? They’re plenty more here."

Mar-Yue glanced around at the youths who were in the surroundings.

"Huh? What am I doing here? I’m supposed to be training!"

"Yeah, that’s right!"

"I uhh... left my unfinished food back at the table, I’m going back to finish eating."

"Me too!"

"Me as well!"

"Wait for me!"

Immediately, all the youths’ without a second thought dashed off.

Mar-Yue huffed when she saw that.

"And you all call yourself men. Why show off those muscles if you aren’t going to use them?"

Mar-Yue then brushed off her spotless white dress and then turned to Sol.

"I definitely held back with that punch, next time I won’t."

She then turned to walk back to her tent, while a limping Mar-Dule made faces at her as she went.

"Wait, how can I meet your Father?"

Sol decided to ask for the Deep Autumn Flower himself.

Mar-Yue turned around to respond, but before the words could leave her lips, a voice suddenly boomed throughout the entire tribe.

"SANDSTORM!!!"

Mar-Dule’s expression suddenly changed, and he raised his head and roared.

"SANDSTORM!!!"

A few more bellows were heard coming from all over the tribe.

Then without hesitation, the ground began to shake as people started to dash out of their tents.

Mar-Yue and Mar-El had already made a move and dashed off.

Mar-Dule was right behind them, but he suddenly remembered Sol and Yoon-Jae.

He stopped and then turned around to pull both of them.

"RUN! AND DON’T STOP!!"

Sol and Yoon-Jae were quick on the uptake and their figures blurred as they followed Mar-Dule and everyone as they rushed out of the tribe.

"Mar-Dule, what’s going on?!"

Sol asked, and without looking back Mar-Dule yelled.

"Look behind you!"

Sol and Yoon-Jae looked behind them, and their expressions changed when they saw the horizon in the distance was completely blacked out. But this darkness was moving towards them, and it was extremely fast.

"Wha-What is that? A sandstorm?"

"Yes, and if you don’t want to get buried then speed up!"

Sol’s eyes flashed and he used his Heavenly Steps to increase his speed, however, he immediately realized that was a horrible idea.

Bang!

Sol suddenly face-planted into the ground.

The sand was like the nemesis of Movement Skills.

Bang!

Yoon-Jae suddenly face-planted as well behind him.

Mar-Dule stopped and turned around.

"Fuck! I forgot to mention you can’t use Movement Skills, you can only use your physical strength. Quick, quick, get up, get up!"

Mar-Dule reached Sol and helped him up, he went to get Yoon-Jae but it was too late.

The ground behind Yoon-Jae some distance away suddenly rose up and rapidly approached him.

Mar-Dule’s face changed.

"YOON-JAE DODGE!"

"Huh?"

Yoon-Jae who was getting up felt the ground beneath him tremble. He immediately reacted by leaping up, but Mar-Dule smacked his forehead.

At the same time, a large mouth sprouted from the ground after Yoon-Jae in the air.

The body of a large sandworm was revealed and with nowhere to go in the air, Yoon-Jae practically presented himself on a silver platter for this thing.

The sandworm happily swallowed its free meal in one go.
