Chapter 212 Desert Journey
The scorching, silent world gradually picked up a breeze, and sand and gravel swirled up and hit the mask. Luckily, I was wearing this thing, otherwise my face would have been dented by now.
You can feel the sand and gravel hitting your clothes like fine rain and tiny swords. If the creatures here don't have thick skin, they can be riddled with holes.
The rhythmic footsteps stirred the creatures underground.
Rong Yi could see the surging on the sand out of the corner of her eye. Several creatures were swimming around her on the sandbed, looking for what they thought was the most suitable time to give her a fatal blow.
Perhaps because it had been many years since they had seen creatures walking so openly on the sand, the underground creatures did not immediately emerge.
As we approached a rocky area, the surrounding noise became more noticeable.
Rong Yi gripped the Blazing Melt and spun it beautifully.
bass--
Its smooth, sun-reflective brown shell leaped from the sand, its powerful front claws lunging at Rong Yi, intending to cut her in half.
With a single upward slash, Rong Yi split the foreleg in two, causing it to fall onto the sand. Other creatures leaped out, and Rong Yi nimbly weaved through them. In less than two minutes, the ground was littered with fallen foreleg shells.
Some were cut in two and dragged under the sand by their companions.
In Rong Yi's view, these were all supplies she was going to sell, so how could she let them take advantage of the situation? She immediately killed them all and left them behind!
With a few easy kills, the underground creature that had been secretly watching silently left. This was a ruthless character that couldn't be messed with; it had the audacity to swagger around on the sandy surface.
The targets were all seventh-tier dark venomous scorpions. Not only were their shells extremely hard, but they also contained potent venom. Extracting them would yield valuable items, and the shells were excellent for refining weapons. They were all put on the market.
According to the terrain map provided by the system, Rong Yi can walk in a straight line to avoid walking in circles.
About an hour later, we saw another hollowed-out stone pier.
Seeing creatures inside suggests a recent fight. One of them was devouring the one that had died in battle. Upon seeing Rong Yi, it abandoned its food and fled through a hidden exit on the other side of the stone pillar.
When Rong Yi saw the dead little thing, it was about the length of her arm, covered in scales, and completely dead.
Its body was covered in wounds from being bitten, yet only a little blood flowed out. The blood was blue and very noticeable on the brown stone.
Upon testing, it was found that the internal organs of a sixth-tier creature were still valuable for alchemy, so it was collected and put on the shelves.
After another day of walking, we collected quite a few creatures and finally put the collected stardust on the market.
The outside world was in an uproar. The long-lost Crimson Tyrant had re-entered the system and was selling supplies. Although the rank wasn't very high, they were all rare and valuable items.
The system hosts who were following her immediately started buying her things.
Adventure System Host: [Red Blood, which world with such abundant resources did you run into? I'm so envious.]
The host of the Medical Saint System: [I love Crimson Blood so much! I bought an ugly thing, but the internal organs are really useful!]
Host of the Weapon Sect System: [Long time no see, Star Sand! Crimson Blood actually managed to get so much. As expected of a big spender on adventures. When it comes to scarce resources, you have to look to her interface.]
Adventure System Host: [Crimson Blood is powerful, but she's caused trouble. Headquarters is looking for her, and if they find her, she'll likely be imprisoned. I've heard that in more serious cases, they might even strip her of her system binding.]
Life System Host: [Although I've heard that Crimson Blood has a bad temper, I haven't heard of him doing anything that violates headquarters rules. How about I spill some beans?]
Adventure System Host: [She almost destroyed a world, but the system she was bound to blocked it in time, and then she disappeared, as you all know. But now she's back online.]
Environmental Protection System Host: [No wonder I didn't see the wanted poster]
The host of the Recycling Golden Finger System thought: [If Crimson Blood is unbound, where will I buy rare resources in the future? Is there anyone who can fill in for me?]
Host of the Myriad Realms Inn System: [Coming to watch out of admiration]
Chef God System Host: [+1]
The host of the Academic Prodigy System: [+ID Number]

After walking for three days in the vast desert, she hadn't seen anything but yellow sand. Rong Yi had only ever heard of snow blindness, and she felt like she was about to get sand blindness herself.
So much so that when she saw the swarm of worms on the monitor, she excitedly drew her knife and wanted to charge.
However, the other side charged faster than her.
A red-skinned worm, four or five meters wide and with most of its body still underground, burst out from under the yellow sand and stood tall, "looking down" at Rong Yi.
Compared to it, Rong Yi was like an insignificant ant, easily crushed.
The mouthparts have rings of sharp teeth that extend deep into the body.
What was most intimidating about it was not its size, but the fact that Rong Yi could feel the energy around him draining away. If he were to fight this red-skinned worm, he would soon find that his body could not absorb any energy and would naturally be defeated by it.
This is the fate that other creatures would face, but not Rong Yi.
His fighting spirit surged, and his molten form changed, transforming into a long slashing blade.
The proboscis swarmed in, but Rong Yi leaped forward like a cannonball, charging towards the giant worm. With a scorching grip, he easily sliced open the worm's outer skin, which few creatures on this planet could penetrate.
The red-skinned worm was incredibly resilient. Even with a gash in its body, it still turned to attack Rong Yi. However, some of its internal organs fell out from the gash and landed on the sand, emitting a faint earthy smell mixed with a floral fragrance—a difficult-to-describe odor.
In short, it wasn't the fishy smell Rong Yi had imagined.
The system automatically scanned the organ and identified it as belonging to a ninth-tier creature, which could be used to refine precious elixirs.
The creatures here are a treasure trove from head to toe.
Seeing that its prey was small but stronger than itself, the red-skinned worm ignored its wounds and tried to burrow back under the sand. Rong Yi couldn't let the energy stone he had obtained get away so easily, so he immediately drew his sword and chased after it.
After a great deal of effort, they managed to cut off half of the worm's body, but the rest burrowed back underground and couldn't be retrieved.
The severed piece tried to go back down, but Rong Yi went up and took it away.
As the worms struggled, they dropped chunks of flesh and organs, attracting creatures from the ground to emerge, resulting in another bountiful harvest.
The system automatically disassembles the worm's body, selling the outer skin, flesh, special mucous membranes, and organs separately.
Knowing that the Crimson Tyrant had returned, many hosts kept an eye on the interface, buying anything that was listed, regardless of whether it suited their needs.
[Red jade sandworm! Its larvae are a delicacy; eating them can enhance one's potential!]
I know that the improvement isn't just a little bit, but a huge leap.
[The adult insects are fine, but could you please put some larvae on the shelves, Red Blood? I'll buy them all.]
[The person above is shameless; this level of quality item can only be purchased once per host.]
The Red Jade Sandworm hasn't been available on the hosts' interface for many years. Whether you encounter it or not depends entirely on luck. It's already rare, and it randomly lands in different worlds, so many adventurous hosts haven't seen it for years.
The Crimson Tyrant, when he makes a move, shakes the entire world.
A powerful host would be willing to go bankrupt to buy a larva of a Red Jade Sandworm.
Fortunately, the headquarters adhered to the principle of protection, prohibiting any location from being located in any dimension. Coupled with the self-protection of the world's consciousness, the Red Jade Sandworm would have been extinct long ago.
