A few seconds later, Ye Zhihan was enveloped by a ghostly sandstorm. Just as he had imagined, the hideous shadows within the sandstorm were the wandering ghosts of the desert. Fortunately, he had hidden the human girl, Mingluo, in the pool of shadows early on, or she would have perished instantly.

Ming Luo hid in the shadows, watching Ye Zhihan struggling to fight against thousands of ghosts alone, feeling very uncomfortable. The man outside seemed isolated and helpless in the sandstorm that covered the sky. The strong wind blew the sand and scratched Ye Zhihan's handsome face. The ghosts stretched out their hands ferociously and wrapped them around his strong body, as if they wanted to make Ye Zhihan one of them.

In the darkness, Ye Zhihan's pair of ice-blue eyes flashed with indifference. After seeing the ghost, he understood the situation clearly. It turned out that this was the true appearance of the Ghost Desert. The sandstorm was just a foil, and the ghosts demanding lives were the main subject.

Unfortunately, these ghosts encountered Ye Zhihan, who was the man who was best at shadow magic in the entire Suma continent. In addition to being extremely offensive, shadow magic was most convenient for avoiding damage and hiding traces.

"Ye Zhihan, you hide in the shadow too!" Ming Luo was not idle while hiding in the shadow. She thought about it over and over again, and finally came up with the most brainless method, which was to just invite Ye Zhihan in.

Ye Zhihan smiled knowingly. This girl looked frail, but she was quite alert in times of crisis. No wonder she, with no other abilities, had managed to hold her own against the Face-Controlling Spider for so long. He had been battling the shadows for so long, precisely to master their combat techniques. Seeing the ghostly black fog growing thicker, he also planned to temporarily avoid its attack. Mingluo shared his thoughts on this point.

Ye Zhihan used his shadow spear to pierce the two ghosts that were entangled with him, and then he retreated into his own shadow. The space in the shadow was very strange. Originally, Mingluo and Yumianzhu each had a corner that was quite spacious, but after Ye Zhihan, a grown man, came in, the entire shadow space seemed to become much more crowded.

Ye Zhihan's eyes were shining, appearing very dazzling in the pure darkness.

Mingluo rubbed her eyes and quietly moved closer to Ye Zhihan. Then she lowered her voice, fearing to disturb the ghost outside, and said, "Why didn't you come in earlier? It looks so dangerous outside..."

"I want to test the power of the shadow." Was he concerned about himself? Ye Zhihan's vision in his own shadow was excellent. He couldn't help but laugh at the girl in front of him wearing baggy men's clothes and looking a little scared. His clothes really weren't suitable for girls.

"Is that green shadow in the sandstorm..." Ming Luo was most afraid of ghosts. She looked at the terrifying ghost shadow whizzing past her head and the dark green mist in the black shadow, and felt her blood was about to freeze.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. They have no independent consciousness." For Ye Zhihan, who is good at shadow magic, he can be regarded as their natural enemy. This level set by Elder Suma is probably tailor-made for him. As long as he wants to leave, these ghost shadows can't restrain him at all.

Mingluo shuddered silently, her hairs standing on end. She muttered softly, "Ghosts are the scariest when they have no consciousness..."

The face-controlling spider nearby suddenly struggled violently after seeing the overwhelming sandstorm outside. It tried hard to get in front of Ye Zhihan, and made faces to signal them to help it free itself.

Ye Zhihan frowned slightly and casually untied the shadow rope on the spider's mouth. Ming Luo immediately retreated behind Ye Zhihan.

"Huh~ I'm finally relieved. You'll never be able to get out of the Ghost Desert like this. Sooner or later you'll be trapped to death in the sandstorm!" The sound of the Controlling-Faced Spider, like a broken gong, rang out again, making Mingluo want to kick it.

"I am very familiar with the gatekeeper of this level. I will take you to see her, and it will be easy to pass the level then!" the Face-Controlling Spider continued.

Ye Zhihan sneered, completely disdaining its words.

The evil-minded Face-Controlling Spider that peels off people's faces suddenly becomes kind and helps them pass the level?

No matter how Ming Luo thought about it, he felt it was impossible. This monster was full of evil intentions and was probably going to do something tricky again.

"Do you know how to pass through this desert?" Ming Luo decided to get some information from the face-controlling spider first, while Ye Zhihan looked at the face-controlling spider coldly, his eyes like a knife.

The spider had to bow its head under the eaves. Since the Controlling-Face Spider was willing to speak, it had to at least show some sincerity. So the young Controlling-Face Spider revealed to Ming Luo and the others the method of crossing the desert: follow the direction of the quicksand on your own, and you can get out of the desert predicament.

Although it sounds ridiculous, this is indeed the fastest way. This is how it slipped out of the desert, and it is the only one who knows this method.

"How do you, a spider-riding creature, know how to cross the desert?" Ming Luo asked again.

"My sister is Talisa, the Daughter of the Desert, and I am her younger brother." The Face-Controlling Spider responded positively. It had to try its best to gain the trust of the two, and then bring them to Talisa, so that it could find a chance to escape.

"Talisa... why does this name sound so Soviet?" Mingluo complained silently in her heart. After seeing the expectant face of the face-controlling spider, she felt more and more that something was wrong. This spider must have bad intentions.

Ye Zhihan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the name Talisa. He had heard of this name before, but he really couldn't see what the relationship was between the Face-Controlling Spider and Talisa.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Ming Luo asked vigilantly.

"I'll take you to find my sister. She loves me very much. I'll ask her to help you pass the level! By the way... can you let me go too?" The Face-Controlling Spider answered confidently.

"What's going on with these ghosts outside?" Ming Luo became even more confused when she saw how confident he was.

"This is the ghost sandstorm controlled by my sister. She is the gatekeeper of this ghost sandstorm. All contestants need to pass her test. She must have sensed that a contestant had entered the desert territory, so she released the ghost sandstorm." The Spider-Controlling Spider answered flatteringly.

"Since your sister loves you so much, if she throws you out, the ghost sandstorm should stop, right?" Ming Luo said slowly as he stood behind Ye Zhihan, his dark eyes flashing with a cunning light.

Hmm? This plot was far different from what the Face-Controlling Spider had expected. Its original intention was to trick them into leading it through the quicksand to Talisa. As Talisa's younger brother, it could naturally escape their clutches under Talisa's protection. Perhaps its sister could even avenge him and defeat them.

Although the Face-Controlling Spider always complained that Ming Luo's baby face did not suit its aesthetic taste, this face was still pretty and lovely after all. It just happened to have lost the puppet spider girl controlled by its face, so it used Ming Luo's face to compensate itself.

By then, when my sister defeats these two, won’t Mingluo just let it deal with it?

She was making plans in her mind, but the Spider-Controlled Spider was still slapped in the face. Mingluo was not a fool. She didn't believe that the monster who wanted to eat her the day before yesterday would suddenly be kind and help her and Ye Zhihan pass through the Ghost Desert.
