Fortunately, it didn't take long before Lu Chen encountered Xiao Hei coming his way. Upon seeing Lu Chen, Xiao Hei was pleasantly surprised and said, "Master, it's great to see you're all right!"
"Let's go!"
Lu Chen didn't waste any words, he simply flicked his sleeve, and Xiao Hei dove into it!
Following that, he used the spear in his hand as a pole, pushed forcefully against the ground, and his whole body shot upwards!
He hadn't mastered Artifact Control for flying, and at this critical juncture he didn't dare to try it rashly, for fear of becoming buried in the earth, never to emerge—which would be a serious problem!
After leaping up, Lu Chen turned the spear around and thrust it into a crack, then with a fierce effort, he pulled himself up and with his other hand reached through the quicksand to grab onto the edge of the crack.
Once he felt secure, Lu Chen then started to climb upwards against the flow of the quicksand.
