Everyone on the sandy ground broke into another sprint, and Yang Xiao glanced at two giant insects quickly closing in. With a raise of his hand, he unleashed the One Finger Splitting Earth skill.
With a thunderous boom, the two insects were flipped over but remained unhard. They rolled on the ground and continued their chase.
Then, Yang Xiao and the others dismayed to find that they had agitated another insect from underneath the sand.
Now, three giant insects were chasing after them, continuously spraying white frost. Everyone felt a chill on the back of their necks.
"This damn Gu Bo, tricking out of 20,000 Crystal Coins and now leading us towards death!"
Chen Fei suddenly shouted:
"Huang Wen, why the hell are you running with us? Can’t you fly?"
Huang Wen was also dumbfounded and then realized the situation. With a swoosh, she transford into a giant oriole and flew up into the sky, shooting an arrow at the insects.
From midair, Huang Wen managed to hold back one of the insects with her Fiery Feather Arrow, forcing it to montarily defend itself.
The other two insects however continued to pursue Yang Xiao and the rest.
However, Huang Wen’s interference gave everyone a mont to catch their breath.
Yang Xiao occasionally launched another One Finger Splitting Earth at the chasing insects.
After running for a while, they inadvertently disturbed a fourth insect.
"Can’t you run properly?"
"It’s not exactly our fault, who knows where these damn buried insects are in this darn desert."
"Boss, let’s just go ho. We’ll die of exhaustion out here soon."
...
Suddenly, Yang Xiao had a bright idea:
"Hold on for a bit longer. Run, brothers. If you feel tired, just take a Small Blood Pill."
"Aren’t the Small Blood Pills for healing?"
"They also replenish stamina. I’ve tried it."
While speaking, Yang Xiao popped a Small Blood Pill into his mouth and felt instantly rejuvenated, picking up speed significantly.
Zhao Gang and the others quickly followed Yang Xiao’s lead.
While running, Chen Fei laughed:
"Feifei, you shouldn’t eat that, what a great opportunity to lose so weight."
Feifei was already gasping for air, gave Chen Fei an annoyed look, wishing she could throw Chen Fei into the maw of the chasing insects.
The four insects kept pursuing them. Huang Wen flew alone in the sky, while Yang Xiao led everyone around the Transmission Array. He dared not venture into unknown areas for fear of disturbing more insects, as that would be beyond restitution.
After persisting for another few minutes, Yang Xiao called out:
"Everyone run in a straight line towards the Transmission Array. Keep safe, Huang Wen, no more attacking."
And so, they ran straight, with four insects relentlessly chasing from behind.
Nearing the Transmission Array, Yang Xiao turned around to see the four insects rushing together towards them.
Yang Xiao roared angrily, operating the Sweeping Void technique, and his huge tail whip broke through the air again, cutting across the middle of the four insects.
This was Yang Xiao’s last resort. If it didn’t work, he planned to open the Transmission Array and return.
With a loud bang, accompanied by the screams of the insects, the bodies of the four insects were severed at their waists, their huge bodies crashing down from mid-air, blood spilling everywhere.
Huang Wen and the others finally exhaled in relief, patting their rapidly beating hearts.
The sand was typically filled with a burst of golden light, as the four insects exploded with nurous valuables.
A skill scroll, three soft whip-like weapons, and twelve golden genetic spheres.
"Boss, these insects are too tough, aren’t they?"
"If it weren’t for your Soul Skill, we’d have no way to deal with them."
"It seems that Gu Bo was right; this place really isn’t suitable for us to venture into at the mont."
...
Everyone sat on the sand, panting heavily and chatting.
Yang Xiao also felt that continued like this wasn’t a solution; his Sweeping Void Soul Skill could only be used once every half an hour, and it was too exhausting.
Glancing at the Skill Scroll that burst out from the monster bug, it was labeled with the words "Ice Heart thod".
Yang Xiao handed it to Chen Fei and asked:
"Since you’re an Ice Elent cultivator, see if this is helpful to you?"
Upon reviewing it, Chen Fei said:
"It should be helpful. This Ice Heart thod can enhance the Extre Cold Energy of Ice Elent cultivators and increase the attack damage of Ice Magic."
"Then I’ll give it to you."
"Really?"
Chen Fei was overjoyed, knowing that if she had to wait to reach Yang Xiao’s level and kill monster bugs to obtain Ice Heart thod, who knows how long it would take.
"Boss, you’re really kind!"
Suddenly, Chen Fei leaned in to give Yang Xiao a kiss, pecking on his face and giggling without any hint of sha.
Yang Xiao didn’t expect Chen Fei to be so bold, and was dumbfounded on the spot, but he was also accustod to these "shaless" girls teasing him with affections.
Feifei, watching from the side, couldn’t take it anymore and said with jealousy:
"Chen Fei, why don’t you just dedicated yourself to the boss!"
Chen Fei giggled, lifting her head proudly, "Mind your own business!"
Yang Xiao could only helplessly roll his eyes at both Chen Fei and Feifei, coughed dryly, and said:
"Alright, let’s move those snake ats into the Transmission Array."
"Boss, what about these monster bug corpses?"
"I’m not sure if these bug corpses are edible; I’ll take a piece back to Gu Bo to check."
So, Yang Xiao took a half of a monster’s body along with its head and dragged it into the Transmission Array.
Everyone moved a pile of snake at to the Transmission Array, pressed the button to return to Nanmu City, and a flash of light appeared, and everyone returned to Nanmu City.
Following Yang Xiao, they entered a shop, and old man Gu Bo saw Yang Xiao dragging a huge monster bug corpse and laughed:
"Hey, not bad, you killed a sand worm as soon as you entered the desert, this creature is a great tonic."
"A tonic?"
Yang Xiao was startled.
"Yes, these sand worms are at least in the Enhanced Gene Stage, their at is tender, rich in collagen, and contains powerful energy. Compared to the Genetic Spheres they drop, their at can provide more Evolution Energy, and you can absorb Evolution Energy by eating at, don’t miss out on this, it’s great stuff!"
Gu Bo spoke, even licking his tongue, looking very greedy.
Yang Xiao instantly turned and rushed back to the Transmission Array.
"Where are you going?" Huang Wen called out.
"I’m going to bring back the other sand worm corpses left on the sand."
"I’ll go with you."
Huang Wen imdiately rushed over, a bit worried since the Monster Level in the desert was too high for Yang Xiao to handle alone.
Long Yongjun and others also wanted to follow, but Yang Xiao waved his hand,
"No need, let Gu Bo identify the Skill Books and the Weapons and Equipnt we found, I’ll be back soon."
With that, Yang Xiao pressed the Transmission Array button and disappeared.
Just after Yang Xiao and Huang Wen appeared in the desert, they were both petrified.
A giant monster, more than ten ters tall, was gaping and greedily devouring the corpses of sand worms on the ground.
Possibly sensing the activation of the Transmission Array, the monster suddenly stopped, turned its head, and looked towards the Transmission Array.
Yang Xiao and the monster locked eyes, feeling a chill in his heart.
The monster resembled a tiger from Earth, but was more than ten tis larger, and it had a pair of long protruding teeth, like swords, similar to the prehistoric giant beast, the Saber-Toothed Tiger.
The monster and Yang Xiao glared at each other for a few seconds, then with a sudden roar, it pounced towards them.
Instinctively, Yang Xiao pressed the Transmission Array’s halo button and imdiately disappeared.
Yang Xiao and Huang Wen returned to the Transmission Array in Nanmu City, both of them pale-faced, their hearts still pounding rapidly, with Huang Wen holding tightly to Yang Xiao.
"Damn, is this desert basically a Monster Park?"
