The little-eared mouse had never seen a jasper crystal before. Luo Xinglan recalled it carefully before saying, "Jacquard crystal is a crystal-clear stone, the color is like the finest jade."
After she finished speaking, the gerbil army all shook their heads:
“Never!”
“I haven’t seen it either!”
"It sounds like it's beautiful!"
"What is that?"
"..."
Luo Xinglan was a little disappointed.
Even the gerbils don't know where the jade crystal is?
So how should she search for it?
The next moment, a fat gerbil suddenly said, "I remember, I've seen that kind of stone!"
Luo Xinglan immediately asked, "You've seen it before? Where have you seen it?"
The fat gerbil pointed forward with its paw: "Just keep going straight and you'll find it, but..."
At this point, a look of fear appeared on its face.
Luo Xinglan: "Just what?"
Fat gerbil: "There are lots of monsters there!"
Luo Xinglan: "Monster? What monster?"
Fat gerbil: "I don't know either, but they're horrible! They kill other gerbils!"
Luo Xinglan was silent. What kind of monster was it?
No matter what, she had to go.
She told Jiang Ruobai and the other two about the dangers they might encounter ahead.
Finally, he said, "Jiang Ruobai is still weak, so you should stay here and don't go. Sun Zexia and Jiang Mingze, you stay and take care of him. I will go by myself."
Even she didn't know what dangers lay ahead, so she naturally wouldn't rashly let everyone go with her.
Sun Zexia was the first to disagree: "Xiao Lanlan, you're going too far! I'm not a coward, how can I let you, a girl, rush to the front while I cower in the back? Let Jiang Mingze stay and take care of the boss, I'll go with you!"
Jiang Mingze immediately said, "Whoever's old should take care of it themselves! I'll go with Sister Lan!"
Sun Zexia: "Hey Xiao Jiang, you've gone too far! Didn't my boss just save you? And now you're just going to ignore whether he lives or dies?"
Jiang Ruobai: "Sun Zexia, shut up. I don't need you to take care of me. Come with me."
Luo Xinglan, Sun Zexia, and Jiang Mingze all said in unison, "No, you stay!"
All three knew that there were dangers ahead.
Jiang Ruobai looked at Luo Xinglan and said, "Didn't you just say that my actions put a lot of pressure on you? And now you treat me like this?"
Luo Xinglan instinctively retorted, "Our situations are different!"
Jiang Ruobai's dark eyes stared straight at her. "What's the difference? We came here together, so of course we have to go back together. No matter what lies ahead, we must face it together. Don't worry about my body. I'm just weak and can't use my professional skills. As for the Red Tassel Spear, I can still use it and won't hold you back."
His words left Luo Xinglan speechless, and in the end, she could only agree to let everyone go together.
The little-eared mouse dismissed the army of gerbils, ran in front to lead the way, and the group walked forward.
Along the way, Sun Zexia was very curious about the little-eared mouse and kept asking questions.
Luo Xinglan was getting annoyed by his questions. At first, she patiently answered them, but later she simply shut up and stopped talking.
Sun Zexia is really too noisy.
After walking for more than half an hour, apart from one sand dune after another, the scenery was no different from the place we had just been.
Sun Zexia muttered to himself, "Is there really a jade crystal ahead? Did that fat gerbil just get it wrong?"
Luo Xinglan: "Let's walk a little further and see."
The direction should be correct.
Because the direction the fat gerbil pointed was the same as the direction she intuitively felt.
The group walked a little further, but found nothing but endless yellow sand.
Luo Xinglan's intuition became stronger and stronger, the jade crystal should be nearby!
She glanced worriedly at Jiang Ruobai, who was in a weakened state, and suggested to the others, "Let's rest for a while, replenish our strength and water, and then continue searching."
After all, there is a potential threat in this desert—some unknown monster—so it is important to stay in top condition.
The group did not refuse Luo Xinglan's suggestion and found a sand dune nearby to rest and recuperate.
Sun Zexia pulled a bottle of water from his backpack and gulped down a few gulps before wiping his mouth and saying, "Xiao Lanlan, do you think this jade crystal is buried in the sand? How about we dig it out?"
There was nothing but sand in this place, and he couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation than this.
Luo Xinglan pondered for a moment: "Buried in the sand? Perhaps this is really possible..."
Her intuition was never wrong.
But there's nothing here but sand, so there's only one possibility: the jade crystal is buried under the sand.
However, there is too much sand here. How can we find the jade crystal accurately?
Sun Zexia's eyes lit up: "Right, right? I told you so, didn't I? Why don't we dig around and see?"
As he spoke, he immediately reached out, scooped up a handful of sand from beside his feet, and threw it out.
The next second, something strange happened.
The sand he casually threw out did not fall back to the ground, but instead remained in the air strangely.
At the same time, the sand on the ground rose up and continued to gather into the air.
Everyone was shocked; something was definitely amiss! They immediately drew their weapons and went on high alert.
Soon, the sand gathered more and more, and countless grains of sand actually coalesced into a humanoid monster.
Everyone was stunned by what they saw.
Luo Xinglan concentrated and saw clearly the information about this humanoid monster.
Sand Monster: Ordinary Monster
HP: 500
Strength: 30
Agility: 30
Luo Xinglan paused, realizing it was just an ordinary monster. Could this be the monster the gerbil had mentioned?
Before she could think it through, Sun Zexia chuckled and shot an arrow through the sand demon's head.
The sand monster fell to the ground with a loud bang, its body turned into countless fine sands, and then it returned to calm.
Sun Zexia put away his crossbow and muttered to himself, "This is the monster from the high-level desert? It's so weak! I thought it was some powerful monster, but it's so trash!"
Jiang Mingze warned, "There are even monsters like sand demons. It seems this desert is not simple. We need to be careful."
Sun Zexia clapped his hands and smiled smugly: "I can take down any of these little sand demons, one by one, or two by two. I can take down as many as there are. You don't need to lift a finger. Just relax and leave it to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw everyone looking at him with strange expressions: "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you believe me?"
Luo Xinglan's lips twitched slightly, and she pointed behind him: "Sun Zexia, your sand demon... has arrived."
Sun Zexia asked in confusion, "Huh?"
Looking back, I was immediately horrified!
