Chapter 50: Did they send her to the sandy area?

After chatting for a while, her mother reminded her to be careful and not to eat unfamiliar things.

Before hanging up the video call, Yuanyuan pouted at the screen and gave it a big kiss: "Goodnight, Mom. I'll miss you! See you in seven days!"

After hanging up the video call, Yuanyuan put her phone away. "Dad, I'm ready. You have to take good care of my mom."

"Know."

………

Yuanyuan lay on the bed wearing a custom-made lightweight protective suit. The little snake on her forearm sensed her unusual mood and gently rubbed its head against her. The cool touch made Yuanyuan's tense nerves relax slightly.

The little wolf in its arms pricked up its ears, listening carefully to its surroundings. There were several unfamiliar scents in the room, making it uneasy.

Zhang Cheng and his two companions stood to the side, also dressed in compact combat uniforms. Their equipment on their backs was minimal yet complete. Their faces were expressionless, but the turbulent emotions in their eyes betrayed them.

Zhang Cheng glanced at his luminous watch and whispered, "Ten minutes left, do a final check on the emergency equipment."

Chen Youwei nodded immediately, rummaged in his pocket a few times, and nodded again to indicate that he hadn't forgotten anything.

Finally, he pulled out a few mini signal devices from his pocket. "These are the latest locators. Yuanyuan also has spares in her space. Even if the signal is interrupted after crossing over, we can still maintain short-range contact through the built-in chip."

Su Xue quickly opened her backpack to check, "Nothing was missing."

Yuanyuan stared at them with wide eyes.

Su Xue bent down to tidy up her stray hairs and then patted her head.

"Don't be nervous, no matter what happens, we're here for you."

Yuanyuan nodded, "Aunt Su, I'm not nervous!"

Gu Zheng took a few steps forward, looked down at Yuan Yuan's seemingly calm face, and felt a strange emotion welling up inside him.

"Remember, if you get separated from your uncle and aunt after arriving in the Beast World, find a safe place to hide and contact them using the signal device, understand?"

Yuanyuan blinked. "I know, Dad. I'll bring you pretty flowers when I come back."

Gu Zheng pinched his little face, "Just take care of yourself."

Time ticked by, and the hands of the watch gradually pointed to twelve o'clock.

The three of them reached out and placed their hands on Yuanyuan's, forming a small protective circle around her.

Everyone unconsciously slowed their breathing, their eyes fixed on Yuanyuan, who was surrounded by them.

[Preparing for departure, please get ready, host!]

Just then, a familiar mechanical voice suddenly rang in Yuanyuan's mind.

At the same time, a white light enveloped Yuanyuan's entire body.

The three special forces soldiers held their breath, their sharp eyes observing the changes around them, ready to deal with any emergencies.

However, the white light only flashed for a few seconds before it suddenly began to shake violently.

Yuanyuan's smile froze, her brows furrowing. [Warning! The host body has not obtained permission for multiple people to teleport simultaneously. The teleportation channel is temporarily closed.]

"What's wrong, Yuanyuan?" Zhang Cheng noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice.

Chen Youwei, standing beside her, also stopped smiling and looked at her with concern: "Yuanyuan, is something wrong?"

Yuanyuan was also confused. "System, why did it shut down? I was able to travel through time smoothly before!"

[The host's current points are only enough to support a single person's journey.]

Once the host completes the initial ten tasks, the "bring others along" permission will be unlocked.

"The initial ten tasks?"

[Yes, host. Current mission progress is 5/10. You only need to complete five more missions to freely travel through the Beast World and unlock the permission to bring others along.]

Yuanyuan nodded to indicate that she understood.

It's actually quite difficult.

The system will tell her the exact location for the first three times, but she will have to find the herbs herself after that.

They only gave a general location when asked.

Before I could tell anyone, everything went black and I disappeared from the room.

When they reappeared, humans had already entered the beast world.

He opened his eyes, looked around blankly, his face full of disbelief, which then turned into confusion and bewilderment.

I closed my eyes because I couldn't accept it, then opened them again.

The surrounding environment remains unchanged.

Beneath the endless yellow sand, she, a five-year-old girl, appeared so small.

"System, where did you send me?"

Is this still the world of beasts?

[Confirmed to be the Beast World Desert.]

"..."

Looking at the barren desert, Yuanyuan felt like cursing Tong. "You want me to find herbs in the desert?"

She's just young, she's not stupid.

This barren desert has not a single tree, let alone any medicinal herbs.

Isn't this making things difficult for a little girl like her?

Within minutes, she became somewhat dehydrated from the sun.

He quickly took out a bottle of mineral water from his spatial storage and gulped it down.

[Due to the host's improper operation, the data is unstable, and the transmission location has deviated.]

"..."

Yuanyuan had just finished filling half a bottle of water when she heard the system's words. She immediately frowned, squatted down on the sand, and poked at the scalding sand: "Isn't this a bit too extreme?"

They took her directly from the primeval forest to the desert.

The little snake hissed as it coiled around her sweaty wrist, its tail tip gently brushing against the back of her hand.

The little wolf lay at her feet, tongue lolling out, ears drooping, clearly exhausted from the sun.

Yuanyuan quickly poured the water she had half-drunk into the little snake and the little wolf.

[Host, don't worry. The location of this journey has deviated from the expected one. I have applied for compensation from the God System.]

This mission only requires finding one herb to complete; the tribe's coordinates are already marked in your mind.

The system's voice carried a rare hint of apology.

It feels so guilty to make such a small child walk in the desert!

When Yuanyuan heard that all she needed to find was one kind of herb, her mood improved.

He brushed the sand off his pants, picked up the little wolf, and said, "Let's go! Let's set off!"

She had only taken two steps when the soles of her feet were burned, causing her to pull back. She grimaced and jumped up and down a couple of times.

The little snake crawled up her arm to her neck and used its cold body to cool her down.

With the little snake's physical cooling effect, she finally felt less dizzy and pulled out a sun hat from her spatial storage to put on.

They continued their journey, walking and hopping along the way.

The person and two pets slowly moved towards the direction marked by the system.

The desert sun was like a fireball, making her cheeks flush red and her hair stick to her forehead.

"I can't take it anymore!"

She couldn't take it anymore after walking for less than twenty minutes.

Ignoring whether it was hot or not, he plopped down on the sand, took out a wet wipe to clean his face and hands, and muttered, "This lousy place doesn't even have a tree."

Just as they were complaining, they heard footsteps in the distance, along with rough shouts.

Yuanyuan's heart tightened, and she quickly hid the little wolf and snake behind her back. She also shrank her neck and moved behind the sand pile next to her, only showing her two round eyes to look out.

Three tall men were walking towards them from a distance. They were shirtless and only wearing animal skin skirts around their waists.

At first glance, his arms were full of firm muscles, and his skin was a dark bronze color.

Are they the orcs from the Zasha tribe that the system mentioned?

Or is it a stray animal?

The man in the lead had the sharpest eyes and immediately spotted the small head behind the sand pile.
