After hearing Ming Luo's words, Ye Zhihan immediately understood and threw the spider with a broken voice like a copper gong out.
Just now, when he was testing the waters in the ghostly sandstorm, he'd noticed the ghosts' movements were incredibly stiff, relying solely on sheer numbers. He'd deduced that someone must be manipulating them, and that what the Face Controlling Spider said might be partially true. Rather than letting him and Ming Luo come to him, it would be better to use the Face Controlling Spider to lure the Desert Girl into the trap.
"Ahhhhh, let me go back!" As soon as the Face-Controlling Spider came out of the shadow space, it was entangled by the ghosts in the ghost sandstorm. Thousands of ghosts stretched out their terrifying black hands and kept pulling the poor young spider.
Although the Face-Controlling Spider has a close relationship with the Desert Girl, it is at best an immature spider demon, a vegetable spider that doesn't even have a puppet. Now asking it to withstand the ghost sandstorm summoned by the Desert Girl alone is like throwing a lamb into a pack of wolves.
"Please let me go back! Wuuuu, you won't be able to pass the level even if I die. My sister will not let you go!" The Controlling Face Spider cried bitterly. The cocoon it had worked so hard to make was torn to pieces by the ghost's hands in a short while, and it was about to be dragged into the thick black fog by the ghost.
Just as Mingluo saw its miserable face and felt a little moved in his heart, what happened next made Mingluo cautious.
Because the Desert Girl really appeared.
The ghostly shadows around the face-controlling spider gradually faded away, and the black shadows and sandstorms that covered the sky also disappeared. Only yellow sand was left flying in the wind, reflecting golden light in the sunlight. On the sand dunes not far away stood a slim woman with wheat-colored skin.
"Sister Talisa, it's me!" The Face Controlling Spider looked at the woman on the sand dune with joy. It took advantage of Mingluo and Ye Zhihan not coming out yet and immediately ran towards Talisa, the daughter of the desert. Fortunately, it was nearby when Talisa released the ghost sandstorm, otherwise it would have been torn to pieces by the ghosts before its sister arrived!
By the time Mingluo and Ye Zhihan emerged from the shadow space, the Face Controlling Spider had already leaned against Talisa and burst into tears. Even though it was a ruthless monster, it was still an ignorant child at heart. Seeing the elders who could protect it, it naturally cried out in grievance, "Sister, these two people want to kill me! They threatened you to show up!"
The desert girl named Talisa softened her expression when she saw the pitiful appearance of the face-controlling spider. She gently stroked its hair and motioned it to lean back. Then the tenderness in her eyes turned into violent rage, and the yellow sand around her rushed towards Mingluo and the others like a raging wave.
When Ming Luo first saw the woman named Talisa, he was shocked by her stunning beauty. She had healthy skin and a plump figure, and a pair of golden eyes sparkled in the desert style. She looked like a snake girl from the Western Regions, beautiful and dangerous.
"Oh, it's really dangerous!" Yellow sand like a tall building flew in Mingluo's face, and her face was scratched by the sharp sand. Ye Zhihan immediately put the girl into his shadow pool. Then, ink-like black shadows surged around him, and the black shadows turned into sharp swords and rushed straight towards Talisa.
As the lord of the desert, Talisa was not afraid of Ye Zhihan's shadow sword. With a wave of her hand, the sand turned into a solid sand shield that the shadow sword could not penetrate at all.
However, just as Talisa summoned her sand shield, Ye Zhihan transformed into a swiftly advancing black shadow, instantly closing in on her, and on the verge of a successful attack...
Talisa glared, then dodged into the yellow sand beneath her feet. Walls of sand appeared, attempting to trap Ye Zhihan. Fortunately, Ye Zhihan was agile, transforming into a black shadow and deftly dodging the sand walls.
After missing the attack, Talisa rushed out from the desert, leaving a long sandstorm behind her. The desert on the ground was also unstable. Under Talisa's influence, a large area of quicksand vortex appeared in the desert, as if to swallow everything.
Hiding in Ye Zhihan's shadow, Mingluo secretly felt lucky that she was hidden within the shadow space, otherwise she would have died outside without knowing how. This wasn't some desert monster, it was a god who could freely use the power of nature, right?
While watching the fight between two god-level figures, Ming Luo was secretly worried about Ye Zhihan. He didn't expect that the following fight would be too fast and fierce. Ming Luo could only see the fast-moving black shadows and the attacks of various shadow swords, as well as the drastic changes in the desert terrain. He couldn't see the specific location of Talisa and Ye Zhihan. The two of them moved so fast that they didn't even leave her with an afterimage.
Although Mingluo wanted to help Ye Zhihan in his shadow space, as an ordinary person without any abilities, she was powerless. Seeing that Ye Zhihan's speed was gradually slowing down and falling into a disadvantage, Mingluo kept twisting a strand of hair, trying to think of a way to solve the problem.
This face-controlling spider is really the villain who complains first. It is obviously the one who wants to kill them!
Fighting against Talisa, who was like the god of the desert, even Ye Zhihan, who was more agile than ordinary people, gradually felt the strain. He now relied entirely on the mutual restraint between his ability attributes to avoid Talisa's attacks, but in the face of powerful hard power, he was still at a disadvantage.
"You bullied my brother and deserve to be punished. Even if Elder Suma personally told me to treat the cross-border contestants well, I will not forgive you. Elder Suma, I'm sorry!" Talisa's golden eyes were filled with anger. She saluted to the blue sky and then rushed towards Ye Zhihan.
Talyssa, entrusted by Elder Suma to guard the desert during the Crossing Overlander Trials, was merely serving as an examiner. She had originally intended to be lenient with the contestants when they met, but now these two clueless brats and a bratty girl were threatening her own brother, so don't blame her for being rude. As for Elder Suma, she could apologize to him afterwards. She knew she wouldn't blame him if she explained the whole story.
Hearing this, Ming Luo had an epiphany. This was the space created by Elder Suma based on the real environment of the Suma Continent. Elder Suma was the real "boss". Moreover, it seemed that Talisa respected Elder Suma very much and seemed to be willing to abide by the rules, so there should still be room for things to turn around.
Thinking back to when Mingluo first arrived in the forest, she was caught by the face-controlling spider. At that time, it seemed to have said something like, "That hateful old man warned me not to attack the contestants." The old man should be referring to Elder Suma. So it was the face-controlling spider who violated Elder Suma's rules first. She was obviously the victim and should not pay for the face-controlling spider's greed!
