Chapter 207 Searching for the Helix Nebula

Ning Xuan knew that although the new energy seemed to be able to compete with the fire energy, it was actually not the case at all.

The fire spirit Suzaku was suppressed by the rules of this world and could not condense into shape, which also caused the power of fire energy to be greatly reduced.

It is precisely because of this premise that the new energy that had been suppressed in the past can emerge at this time. However, she has not been practicing for a long time, but the new energy is growing so rapidly. This is actually not a good thing.

However, now that things have developed to this point, we have no choice but to resolve it.

Just as Ning Xuan was immersed in refining potions and practicing, the dust storm period of the red sand sea finally ended.

Inside the command center of the safe zone, Ning Xuan watched through the surveillance screen as the red sea of sand shrouded in the dust storm gradually calmed down, transforming from a chaotic land covered in smoke and dust into a beautiful picture of a golden sand and red sea.

Although there is only a small piece of the picture on the outermost edge, it is enough to glimpse the scenery inside the sand sea.

The power of nature is amazing, and the scenery of nature is even more fascinating.

"Marshal Yun, the Red Sand Sea is too dangerous. I have sent out three exploration teams, but no news has been sent back. There are thirty people in the three teams, and none of them has returned." Qiao Yu said disapprovingly when he knew that Yun Han wanted to explore the Red Sand Sea with Ning Xuan.

Before, Yun Han asked him to find out the news about the Red Sand Sea. Although he didn’t know the reason, since it was Yun Shuai’s order, he still carried it out without hesitation.

But the red sand sea is like a tomb. People go in but never come out.

"Ms. Ning, we can only monitor the situation in the outermost section. The red sand sea is so large, and we don't know what's going on inside. It would be very dangerous to go in rashly. You might as well wait until we investigate more deeply and have a more comprehensive understanding before exploring." Seeing that Yun Han ignored him, Qiao Yu went to persuade Ning Xuan again.

Ning Xuan waved her hand. "Thank you for your kindness. We have already made a plan and it is not easy to change it."

Qiao Yu wanted to persuade him again, but Yun Han suddenly reached out and pressed his shoulder.

"Go down and prepare what I need." Yun Han didn't want Qiao Yu to talk any more, so he quickly sent him down.

"Yes." Qiao Yu looked at Yun Han's face and didn't dare to say anything more.

After Qiao Yu left, Ning Xuan and others began the next discussion.

Since they are going to enter an extremely dangerous place, they must of course be adequately prepared.

During this period, through various channels, Ning Xuan's team accumulated at least ten magic weapons left over from primitive civilizations.

Among these magic weapons, all defensive, storage, and auxiliary magic weapons are bound through blood, while offensive and even flying magic weapons are bound through the energy generated by blood.

In the past few days, Ning Xuan found a thumb-sized flying boat. This flying boat is powered by Ning Xuan's blood energy. It is only the size of a thumb when not in working state. Once activated, it can instantly become a large flying vehicle of about ten meters.

Except for Ning Xuan, everyone else had made their own preparations. No one fell behind, and even the little fox had to enter the red sand sea with them.

The next day, Ning Xuan walked towards the red sand sea known as the realm of death as planned. Everyone was shocked at the endless sand and gravel in front of them.

Looking up, the land is as vast as the ocean, with different shades of ochre-red reflecting a metallic luster under the sun. The sand dunes in the distance present various shapes, some of which are like the backs of giant beasts, piercing the sky with sharp angles that defy common sense, and each ridgeline is very sharp.

They explored the red sand sea in the beginning in order to get generous rewards from the authorities, but now, Ning Xuan planned to take a gamble. She felt that the only thing that could solve the problem of new energy in her body was the legendary Spiral Nebula.

It is said that the Spiral Nebula can improve genes and bloodlines. Since her new energy is suppressed, wouldn't the problem be solved by simply raising the level of new energy?

Ning Xuan and her group had just entered the red sand sea when a sandstorm suddenly arose. The sandstorm came without any warning. The sky, which was clear a second ago, suddenly became heavy with leaden clouds, and the charged sand particles formed a scarlet web in the air.

"Everyone be careful, these grains of sand are charged." Lin Mo shouted.

As if to confirm this statement, the next second, an electric current came over and enveloped everyone in the group. "Ah," screams of pain rang out one after another. After a period of chaos, Zhang Nan pointed at Chen Nan and laughed, making fun of his hair that had become a mess.

In fact, everyone has the same hairstyle.

When everyone has a big afro, image doesn’t matter anymore.

The sandstorm did not bring them any danger, but something troublesome happened: they lost their way.

The vast sea of sand is like a maze, and it is impossible to tell the direction.

Fortunately, Zhang Nan has a natural sensitivity to the external environment. Under his leadership, Ning Xuan and his group quickly walked out of the sandstorm area.

Zhang Nan's boots crushed a piece of weathered unknown bone, and the tiny white flakes mixed into the red sand. He raised his hand to signal the team to stop, and his eyes through the goggles scanned his watch: the electronic compass used for positioning was spinning wildly.

"The magnetic field is abnormal." He pulled off his scarf, revealing his cracked lips. "Everyone check your equipment. There may be something here."

The exclamation interrupted his words. Wang Teng, who was walking in the front, suddenly sank half of his body. The quicksand was like a monster with a huge mouth, swallowing up his chest in an instant.

"Don't move! Don't use force, just relax." Lin Mo threw out the climbing rope and said, "Hold on! We will pull you up."

Lin Mo's calmness greatly alleviated Wang Teng's panic.

Wang Teng's sinking speed slowed down, which should have been exciting, but at this moment everyone was staring at Wang Teng's neck - three blood-red fire scorpions were climbing up along his collar.

Di Youlin's saber flew through the air, and the back of the saber accurately slapped the poisonous fire scorpion away, resolving the crisis Wang Teng was facing.

He grabbed another rescue rope and jumped into the quicksand area, intending to pull Wang Teng out. However, he felt a sticky sensation on the bottom of his military boots, which made him realize that this was not ordinary quicksand - there was clearly some kind of colloid flowing underneath.

"Back off! Everyone, disperse!" Zhang Nan commanded everyone to retreat. Suddenly, dozens of moving bulges appeared on the sand. These bulges were not sand or dust, but black waves formed by tens of thousands of desert army ants. The "bridge" they built with their bodies was extending, and it was unknown where it would lead to.

This kind of creature lives in groups. Its individual combat power is not very strong, but there are many of them. There is no need to fight against them unless it is absolutely necessary.
