Let's go!

Mo Shang Chen leads the way.

"That... aren't we waiting for the junior brother?"

Du Yan finally asked out loud.

"Whoever of you wants to wait for me, do so. But the sandworm is his doing. You have a right to know this."

Ripples said softly.

"What? Even my junior brother?"

Mu Sheng said in some surprise.

"What's so strange about that? It's just greed."

What did he do?

Mu Sheng asked, refusing to give up.

Liàn Yī stroked her wrists, where a pattern of blooming flowers adorned them. She smiled, a long drawn-out sound, as she spoke:

"I reminded you before, the gold ore here is enough for us to mine, but he wants high-grade or even top-grade gold ore."

Don't tell me you don't know, that kind of ore is only found in the center of the gold sand mine. That place is the lair of the Sandworms."

But...

Mu Sheng still wanted to say something, but unfortunately, a tremor came from the ground the next moment.

"Let's leave here first and talk later. If you happen to meet Daoist Lian, you can ask him directly."

Mo Shangchen's face was a little dark. If he hadn't been so greedy and sought stability, he wouldn't have partnered with the other party. Now, it seems like he would be the unlucky one. He had some doubts about this child of destiny now.

Everyone knew the urgency of the situation and quickly followed Mo Shangchen out of the oasis that had previously trapped them.

After walking for two hours, a lone figure was met with the night in the endless desert.

Mo Shangchen quickly released his flying boat. After everyone boarded, they finally had a chance to catch their breath. Although they were now Yuanying cultivators, the Endless Desert was extremely unfriendly to them. Since entering the inner circle, they had been plagued with disasters.

"Fellow traveler, how far is it to the cave abode of the Nascent Soul cultivator you mentioned?"

The ripples asked directly.

If all goes well, we'll arrive in seven days.

"Won't you miss the time when the grotto appears?"

"No, we are much faster than expected."

Then it's settled.

Liàn Yī finished speaking and turned to ask Du Yàn:

Have you contacted Lianxi Ye yet?

"No, the messaging talisman sent out and returned automatically. There was no reply from the jade slip either."

Du Yan sighed and said.

"We were all digging for gold together, how did Eileen know it was Lian Xiye who caused the trouble?"

Although it was a bit abrupt, it also voiced everyone's thoughts.

"Because I am of high cultivation!"

Then the pressure of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator instantly surged towards Ye Qing. This was the most direct response to a provocateur.

With a "poof," Ye Qing spat out a mouthful of blood. His whole body felt as if it had been slammed to the ground, completely powerless to resist.

Everyone was taken aback, as if they were only just beginning to truly recognize Ripples' identity.

"Friend, do not be angry. He is only concerned about his fellow disciples."

"Not necessarily! Of all these people, he's the one who least wants to come back alive tonight."

With a cold and distant gaze, Lian'er spoke.

As soon as these words were spoken, no one refuted them. Ye Qing asked this question only to show her camaraderie with her fellow disciples and to casually chat with Lian Yi.

Unfortunately, the ripples didn't give him that chance.

Du Yan watched the ripples, her mind replaying their meeting like a movie. She always felt that the other party was putting on an act, pretending to be harmless but actually powerful, just not sure who they were targeting. But one thing was for sure, they were a big shot, someone they couldn't afford to mess with.

"Eileen, my friend, you have already ascended to the divine. I wonder if the treasures in that cultivator's cave would catch your eye."

"My cultivation method is unique, my divine sense surpasses my cultivation level, and it's also one of the family's trump cards. So I'm very interested in the cave abode of a Nascent Soul cultivator. The previous agreement remains unchanged."

Ripple gave Moshangchen a reassurance pill.

"I see."

On the roadside, Chen suddenly realized.

He had never seen this kind of technique before, but he had heard his father talk about it, so he became even more polite towards Lianyi.

And at this time, even the night was sent to the center of the boundless desert by a transmission talisman. He appeared near the core. His arrival woke up a sleeping sandworm.

In the twilight, Lian Xiye, with swift eyes and nimble hands, crushed a teleportation talisman, narrowly escaping his previous location.

After his form stabilized, he discovered on that very night that he was even closer to the sandworm. He gritted his teeth and crushed another teleportation talisman.

In the next instant, he appeared closer to the sandworm. Even Xi Ye was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to use the teleportation talisman anymore. She gripped her sword tightly, ready to fight this sandworm to the death.

The sandworm also found him in the evening, coiling its body and coming beside him, opening a wide mouth full of sharp teeth.

In the evening, Lian Xi subconsciously swung his sword to block the opponent's big mouth. However, the sword light split the sand worm in half.

At dusk, to his surprise, he found that the sword he had unconsciously swung out possessed such immense power. But as the sand worms recombined, he realized that facing him was an image.

It was as if someone had deliberately put it out there to scare him.

Since it was just a phantom shadow, even the evening released itself from tension. After all, a shadow could not hurt him.

But he had relaxed too soon, the sandworm's shadow pounced and swallowed him whole in one gulp, then wriggled with satisfaction before burrowing back into the ground.

The night swallowed him whole, his face a picture of confusion until razor-sharp teeth tore through his robe. Only then did he realize the shadow was truly capable of harming him. He immediately focused all his energy, desperately dodging the teeth within the sandworm's belly.

Just as he had exhausted the last vestiges of his spiritual energy, he was finally flung into the sandworm's stomach.

A foul stench mingled with highly corrosive gastric acid sprayed toward Lian Yè, tearing at his robes that were already ripped and corroded into holes.

Stomach acid still churned, threatening to engulf him in an instant. He gritted his teeth and released the storage box he'd traded for at a street stall, then ducked inside himself.

After sealing the lid, Lian Ye immediately swallowed the Spirit Rejuvenating Pill and then held a mid-grade spirit stone in each hand. He began to recover his spiritual power, coordinating with the pill's effects.

He didn't know how long this storage box could last. He had to recover to his peak, find a way out of the sandworm's belly.

After half an hour, the storage box was already pitted and corroded. Even nightfall had recovered its spiritual energy. He didn't hesitate at all. He took the storage box, put a protective shield on himself, and then started searching for a way out.

On the eve of their escape, ripples and her party of five were speeding towards their destination. Their journey was surprisingly smooth.

Ripple stroked her chin in thought, then looked up at the sky before deciding to wait and see.

"Master, is there anything the matter?"

Duo Duo doesn't understand, so she asks.

" Lianxi Ye should have run into trouble tonight."

"Master, how did you know!"

"This is the inner part of the endless desert. Don't you think it's too smooth?"

"I see! So the master means...we need to help Lian Ye escape, so let us make our way smoothly and rescue him from danger as soon as possible?"

"I can't answer you right now, but we can wait and see, it should be coming soon!"

Just three days after Lian Yi and Duo Duo finished speaking, Mo Shang Chen excitedly told everyone:

"We arrived!"

"Friend on the road, are you sure this is the place? There's nothing here but sand!"
