bring it up proactively before you ask about it. The Dashuai said that if you have any questions, you can go ask him directly.“I know, go and take twenty lashes yourself! You are my personal guard, no...As the lid of the box was opened on Lianxi Night, a large amount of sand rushed into the box. Du Yan immediately waved her sleeve to sweep the sand away. After a few people probed their divine sense, they found that they had been buried in the sand.

At dusk, Lian Xi held the box and slowly moved it upwards. It took a full minute for the box to emerge from the sand. The next breath, a layer of frost formed on the surface of the box, clearly indicating that the desert temperature at night was very low.

The ripples are a demon cultivator, her body is already strong, plus she has fur naturally, and at this time she has transformed into a thick fur coat to wear, so she doesn't feel cold at all.

Du Yan had told a few people that they were going to the endless desert, so naturally they all prepared accordingly. Each of them had put on an extra thick woolen coat, but the quality was obviously not comparable to Ripple's.

Du Yan's gaze lingered on Lian Yi's white thick wool coat, the envy in her eyes was undeniable. She leaned towards Lian Yi and smiled, saying:

"My friend, your robe is truly beautiful, not a single stray hair on it."

Ripples said casually:

"This was given to me by my grandfather. It seems to be made from the fur of a seven-tailed white fox."

"Hiss!" A gasp of air came, let alone today's cultivator families, how many could refine a robe with the skin of a seventh-order monster.

Mo Shangchen's eyes flashed. When he left Mo Shang City, his father had sent him a message, warning him to be careful of Eileen. Even if he wanted to do something, he shouldn't drag Eileen down or use her as a scapegoat. Otherwise, he would surely end up shooting himself in the foot.

Although he messaged his father asking for a reason and didn't get a clear answer, he now seems to understand. The family behind the other party has a powerful influence, something his father, as the ruler of this city, can't handle. If he truly did harm Eileen, his father probably wouldn't be able to save him.

Well then, he would just respect the other party. Anyway, all he wanted was to borrow the other party's good luck. After figuring this out, he raised his hand and released a small flying boat, inviting everyone onto it, because the sand beneath their feet had already started to move.

Liri was the last one to board the flying boat. She mainly wanted to feel the direction of the flowing sand.

Mo Shangchen saw that everyone had boarded the flying boats, so he activated his defenses and then let the sand push the flying boat forward. Everyone remained on the deck, watching the direction the quicksand was moving in.

"Greetings, fellow traveler. Is this the right direction"

Du Yan asked, "If the direction is wrong, they will have to walk back during the day, which is a waste of time."

"At the moment, it seems we're heading in the right direction. As long as the quicksand doesn't change course tonight, we should be able to save at least a day's worth of travel."

On the path ahead, a compass is in his hand. It's calculating directions and confirming that the current direction is correct.

But the ripples weren't so optimistic. The endless desert was called one of the Eight Great Dangers of the Cultivation World for a reason: its quicksand, like a living thing, could always give you an unexpected "surprise."

Just as Mo Shangchen's voice faded, Lian Ri felt the flying boat shake slightly, and then the quicksand changed direction.

"Fellow traveler, the shifting sands have changed direction."

At twilight, Lian Xi sighed helplessly.

Mò shàng chén yǎn pi jiao le jiao, zhòu méi shuō dào:

Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!

"It seems our luck isn't very good today. We should all take turns resting for a bit. Tomorrow, we need to speed up our progress."

Mo Shangchen had considered this situation before setting out, so he kept a level head and allowed himself plenty of time to enter the depths of the boundless desert.

"You guys go rest first, I'll hold the first post."

Ripples said to Dust on the Distant Road.

In the evening, I wanted to team up with Lianyi and boost our friendship points. However, Mo Shangchen thought it was better to spread out our luck, so he spoke up:

Then, I, Eileen, will form a group with one of you. The remaining four of you should divide into two groups, with one group taking the first half of the night and the other taking the second half. Another group will remain on standby in optimal condition, ready to intervene if anything happens. We'll rotate shifts every night.

Okay, no problem.

Everyone agreed. In such a dangerous place, it was important to have a backup plan for anything.

When evening arrived, and he saw there was no more chance, he led the way back to his cabin to cultivate. Improving one's cultivation was the most important thing.

Ripples stood on the deck, gazing at the flowing sand in a trance. To her eyes, these things were alive, she just didn't know what secrets those tiny grains of sand held.

"Elaine, you don't need to research this any further. These sand grains' peculiarity has already attracted the attention of powerful cultivators. It's just that they found nothing and left the boundless realm. After leaving this place, these sands will no longer move on their own."

Mo Shangchen saw the ripples and was interested, so he explained.

"It is indeed a little curious. I had only seen it in the jade slips before, but seeing it in person is quite different."

Ripples smiled and said.

Soon after, the two of them saw skeletons emerging from the sand. Some belonged to humans, some to beasts. In just a few breaths, these skeletons were buried back into the grains of sand and vanished without a trace.

"It seems like quite a few people have died here. We need to be more careful."

Someone whispered softly on the dusty path.

Late at night, Mu Sheng and Ye Qing were on watch. Lian Yi returned to her cabin and after setting the restrictions, released Duo Duo from the spatial pocket:

"Dodo, in two nights, I'll let you out. You help me investigate what's under this desert."

Yes, master.

Dodo happily agreed and immediately added:

"Master, did you find anything"

"Currently, there isn't anything. Just some suspicions, so I want you to scout it out. My divine sense can't penetrate these sands."

Ripple explained.

"Understood."

Then, the flower swayed its leaves and said.

After the flying boat stopped, everyone started walking again. This time they were luckier than the first day; they didn't encounter sand worms, but they did meet some red-tailed sand scorpions unique to the desert. A few people teamed up and solved them. The scorpion's stingers became their spoils of war, and the scorpion meat became their rations.

It took them ten days of traveling like this before they slowly approached the edge of the inner circle. From here on, the number of various monsters and beasts they encountered would increase, and the chance of meeting sandworms would also rise.

So Mo Shangchen suggested taking a day's rest before moving on, and everyone agreed.

The ripples are prompting DuoDuo to continue her exploration down into the desert floor, hoping for a discovery today.

One hour later, cries for help echoed in Lian Ri's sea of consciousness:

"Master, help! I've been found by sandworms, they are chasing me!"

"How could you be so careless It's such a big sandworm! You're at the fifth level, can you be more courageous"

"The sandworm is too ugly, I really can't stomach it."

All of them were crying.

If you don't shut your mouth, you'll end up in the sandworm's belly.

Even ripples are speechless.

"Yes!"

After a few breaths, everyone felt the tremor from beneath their feet. Mo Shangchen's face turned grim as he said:

"It's a sandworm, scatter!"

The moment he finished speaking, a sandworm crawled out of the ground. But this time, its appearance was rather unusual. The sandworm was wrapped in a brown vine, and red flowers bloomed all over it.

Both sides seemed to be engaged in a struggle. The sandworm was twisting and writhing with all its might, trying to rub off the vines that were wrapped around it, but every time it rolled, the vines tightened further.ed up in jail is because his family is wealthy enough to get him off the hook.
