After discovering the function of the bead, Lin Qian immediately understood. It seemed that this thing was a product similar to the magic beast crystal core. Although the creatures here were strange, they were not strong. Fortunately, they were not strong.
Lin Qian initially thought things were going to get bad when faced with the sudden appearance of the creature, but now it seems that he worried too much.
The storm continued to howl and rage all around, sweeping up the desert and mixing more and more sand with it. The area was completely covered by a violent and chaotic sandstorm.
If Lin Qian didn't have a spiritual energy shield that could protect his eyes from the sandstorm, he wouldn't be in such a bad mood. Although the sand was blown into his fur, making him a little uncomfortable, Lin Qian still didn't plan to spread the spiritual energy shield all over his body.
Currently, its spiritual energy shield only extends to its head, protecting its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose from wind and sand intrusion. This method minimizes the consumption of spiritual energy.
After all, compared to its enormous body, the tiger's head is quite small.
Although Lin Qian now has income from the yellowish-brown crystal cores as a source of spiritual energy reserves, he is still conserving his spiritual energy.
In fact, Lin Qian's spatial artifact contained a lot of spirit stones and spirit liquid. He didn't need to prepare other supplies, but he definitely prepared a lot of supplies to replenish his spiritual power.
Not only Lin Qian and his family had tigers, but the giant panda mother and cub, as well as all the spirit beasts that entered, also had reserves. This can be considered as pre-battle preparation, after all, they were going to an unknown world, and it is never too much to be careful.
Lin Qian has spiritual markers as punctuation marks for its progress, so even though its vision is now all gray and yellow and it can't see the surrounding scenery at all, it still won't lose its way.
Yes, as long as those two markers are not swept away by the storm to within a radius of 10,000 meters, it will not lose the perception of the markers.
It must be said that the preparations it made beforehand were quite useful.
Without the spiritual marker, it would probably have lost its way long ago.
Even if the wind and sand can't harm it for a while, it will still be at a disadvantage in the long run.
Compared to the power of nature, the individual strength of living beings is still weak, and this truth remains unchanged even in a different world.

To the west of the storm, the leopard squad leader was wandering aimlessly in the sandstorm. Its physical defense was quite good, so like Lin Qian, it chose to protect only its head with a spiritual energy shield, letting its body resist the power of the storm.
Unlike Lin Qian, it could not sense the presence of Lin Qian and its other companion. It could only sense the markings within a 1-kilometer radius around its body.
Lin Qian and the others had anticipated being separated upon entry and had even made plans for it, but the actual situation was ultimately unpredictable.
Although the leopard quickly calmed down from its initial panic, it was still somewhat frightened by the endless sandstorm around it.
"Whoosh—"
The howling wind felt like sharp blades, cutting into the leopard's body. Fortunately, the wind wasn't strong enough to break through its physical defenses. Although it could feel some pain, it wasn't seriously injured. The leopard was currently out of danger.
Suddenly, two figures gathered around it, startling the leopard!
Its reaction to the challenge was swift; it immediately retaliated with a claw strike!
With a "whoosh!", the closest figure in the yellow sand was scattered by it and instantly swept away by the wind and waves.
The leopard struck again immediately after its successful attack, but it was only a second too late. Another figure in the yellow sand retreated instantly, turning into sand and being swept away by the storm.
Seeing this bizarre scene, the leopard instantly became extremely vigilant. If it were a tangible enemy, no matter how troublesome or powerful, it would always find a way to deal with it.
Whether you fight or flee, there will always be an opportunity.
But right now, this strange thing has no face or shape. It seems to be made of sand that can disperse in an instant. How can we play with it?
Although horrified by the strange figure in the yellow sand, the leopard felt slightly relieved remembering the feeling of killing it with a single claw; this thing's defense didn't seem to be that great...
After scanning its surroundings warily, the leopard looked at its spoils: a yellowish-brown crystal core, its first gain in this realm.
Leopard is no stranger to crystal cores, a cultivation resource. As the captain of a combat squad, it hunts countless beasts every day, making the refining of crystal cores a piece of cake.
With this discovery, the leopard felt much better. Although it was just an ordinary low-level crystal core, it had a better understanding of its potential.
These strange creatures, like monsters and mutated beasts, are probably different from normal living beings, and there are differences in their strength and power.
With this guess, the leopard breathed a sigh of relief but also became more vigilant.
It easily countered a low-level being, but if it encountered a high-level one, this thing would be difficult to defend against due to its unpredictable appearance.
With sandstorms all around, it's a perfect storm for the other side. It's like their home ground, and now that they're isolated and helpless, they can't afford to be careless!
Behind them, Lin Qian, who was closely following, was unaware that the leopard was heading in the opposite direction, and that the leopard had already dealt with a minor problem.
Lin Qian and the leopard are now less than 5 kilometers apart, their positions are much closer.
This is also why Lin Qian, having identified his target, kept running forward, while the leopard, being cautious and alert, did not move quickly, thus preventing a "you flee, I run" situation between the two positions.

On the other side.
In the eerie red forest, Xiao Mo picked up the red crystal core, his brows furrowing slightly.
