After a long pause, Tang Qingyun cleared her throat and said, "This is not our starship."
“They have eyes, they saw it all.”
Their starship was a generous donation from Monet; it was of good quality, high-class, and looked brand new.
One thing is certain: Monet's starship is a small, privately owned starship with a maximum capacity of only six people, excluding all facilities.
Carrying seven vehicles is considered overloaded, and if caught by the Star Airlines Management Center, you will face a huge fine.
The ship that just landed is clearly a medium-sized starship, with a crew capacity more than ten times greater.
A starship of this type starts at a price in the hundreds of millions.
Xiao Ningzi won a lot of prize money, but she wouldn't spend that much to buy such a flashy but impractical starship for them.
Therefore, this starship can only belong to Xiao Ningzi's friend.
that is--
"This starship looks so high-end and luxurious, how come it doesn't have a positioning system installed?"
Qi Wenyuan asked, puzzled, "It could have landed near us, so why did it land a hundred miles away? Could it be that the positioning system malfunctioned?"
How would they know that?
After all, they weren't on the starship.
But that's not important. What's important is—
“We have to go pick them up. It’s so hot right now. If we don’t go, they’ll have to walk back on their own.”
"Whether we get lost is another matter, but encountering sandworms would be really bad."
Without sufficient practical experience and a deep understanding of the weaknesses of sandworms, encountering a large-scale insecticidal attack is no joke.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly turned serious.
"Old Tang, you and Old Zhang stay here. The rest of you come with me."
At a command, Qi Wenyuan pulled out his dilapidated, rattling sand motorcycle from his spatial storage, mounted it, and started the engine with a thunderous roar, heading towards the location where the starship had landed.
Jiang Xunchu and the others immediately followed.
So Tang Qingyun and the others who stayed behind could only watch as a group of men rode away at breakneck speed on a sand dune that was about to fall apart, kicking up clouds of yellow sand.
Meanwhile, Sang Ning and his group had already descended the ladder from the wide-open hatch.
The sweltering heat made me sweat uncontrollably, and even the temperature-controlled protective suit I was wearing didn't seem to help.
Mu Tao took a deep breath, the scorching air filling his nostrils, and exclaimed, "This is truly a planet as passionate as fire."
Sang Ning's lips twitched slightly as she reminded him, "Please manually adjust the temperature of your thermostat suits first, otherwise I'm worried you won't be able to withstand it."
She glanced at the temperature display on her personal terminal; her body temperature had reached an astonishing 62 degrees Celsius.
This temperature would be absolutely deadly in Sangning's native world.
However, interstellar humans are physically strong, and even pure-blooded humans like Sang Ning and Gu Shiqian have become accustomed to this temperature.
After all, Gu Shiqian had lived in such an environment for nearly two hundred years.
Sang Ning's native home has been where he lived for nearly twenty years.
You have to get used to it, otherwise you would have died long ago.
Emmanuel and the others couldn't get used to the heat, and upon hearing her reminder, they immediately adjusted the temperature of their thermal suits manually.
Soon, the body temperature dropped.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; they were finally feeling better.
Monet asked in bewilderment, "How did you survive in such high temperatures?"
You'll get used to it.
Gu Shiqian glanced in the direction and called out, "Let's go back."
"Okay!"
For those visiting the desert for the first time, the scenery is quite beautiful.
First of all, it is desolate enough that as far as the eye can see, there is only yellow sand and the blue sky.
White clouds drift in the sky, and the contrast between the desolation and the vast sky evokes a sense of sadness and pain.
Secondly, the sound of the sand underfoot as you move your feet creates a subtle noise within the tranquility, a very peculiar feeling.
Just as Emmanuel and his companions were experiencing the vastness and desolation of the desert, Gu Shiqian and Sang Ning suddenly stopped.
"Watch out, danger!"
Before the words were even finished, Sang Ning and Gu Shiqian simultaneously took out their special large cleavers from their spatial storage.
Emmanuel and his group, "..."
A group of people simultaneously pulled out their weapons.
The high-tech energy weapons and the large machetes in Sang Ning's hands looked like products from two different time periods.
The sense of incongruity was overwhelming.
"What happened?"
Emmanuel gripped his guns with both hands, keeping a watchful eye on everything around him.
“There are sandworms coming this way.”
Sang Ning lowered her voice and reminded them, "Listen carefully."
Emmanuel and the others took a deep breath and listened intently to the sounds around them.
immediately--
Everyone's pupils contracted as they heard a rapid rustling sound.
It sounded like something was moving quickly, making a sound as it moved the sand.
The group's eyes lit up instantly.
Philoia took a deep breath and exclaimed excitedly, "So, we're going to have to fight the sandworms to the death as soon as we arrive?"
Sang Ning, “…not that bad.”
It's really not that bad.
"I really enjoyed this welcoming ceremony."
Sang Ning, “(Speak)!”
Sorry, she didn't really like it.
Gu Shiqian's forehead was covered in black lines as he reminded him, "The sandworm's weaknesses are the nodes of the third segment, the gap between the two carapaces at the mandible, the white soft carapace on the abdomen, and the second node of the tail."
"When you fight the sandworms, prioritize attacking these weak points."
What if we can't attack it?
Luo Tianya asked the question sincerely.
After all, sandworms are quite large, and given their height, it's not certain that they can attack their weak points.
Gu Shiqian took a deep breath and said rather irritably, "Then use your speed to dodge the sandworms' attacks, and Xiao Ningzi and I will handle it."
"I'm fine."
Sang Ning chimed in, and Mu Tao and the others also said they had no problem with it either.
As novices about to face the sandworms head-on, Mu Tao and his companions were genuinely unconfident that they could accurately strike the weak point in one go, after all, the sandworms weren't stupid.
It's still alive; it can move.
It's impossible to stand still and let them attack our weak points.
Therefore, given their limited combat experience, their primary goal is not to kill as many sandworms as possible, but to ensure their own survival.
They do have that much self-awareness.
"They're here!"
Sang Ning offered a reminder.
Suddenly, the yellow sand around them shot into the sky.
And right there in the towering yellow sand, sandworms leaped up from the sand.
Its dark, shiny carapace and hideous appearance caused the pupils of everyone who saw the sandworm to shrink.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
The weapon in his hand was fired, and beams of white light shot out from the muzzle of the energy gun.
It landed silently on the sandworm, piercing through its body.
A hole the size of a bowl emanated a strong, fishy smell.
However, because the attack did not hit a weak point, the sandworm did not die; instead, it became enraged due to its injury.
