Under the scorching sun, a young man wearing a sun hat was walking in the desert. Beside him was Pikachu, who was spitting out its little tongue to dissipate the heat with an uncomfortable expression. He did not seem to have any other companions.
This young man was naturally Kaede Sato. He was now undergoing a tough special training in the desert, and he was also looking for the Phantom Tower that was being teleported.
It had been three days since the end of the support operation. The sandstorm came and went quickly. It only ravaged the oasis for one night before moving on.
In the past few days, the base had been busy rebuilding, and the expedition had been delayed again because of this.
In order not to waste time, Kaede Sato decided to cultivate in the desert for a period of time. Just yesterday, he saved a person who almost died of thirst in the desert, and then he got the news of the Phantom Tower from this person.
Unfortunately, he had been searching for half a day in the area indicated by the person on the map. All he could see was a vast sea of sand. He could not even see the shadow of the Phantom Tower.
Under the scorching sun, the billowing heat waves came with the wind, making the creatures walking in the desert feel the heat even more deeply.
Kaede Sato took out a water bag from his backpack and drank a big mouthful. He then gave Pikachu, who was about to get a heatstroke but was unwilling to go back to the Pokeball.
"Half a day more. If we still can't find it, we can only return. I have a bunch of Water Sprites with me. The remaining water can only last for one more day."
Kaede Sato said helplessly as he weighed the bag in his hand, which had little water left, and then looked at the empty desert nearby.
He had given nearly half of his water to the pedestrian who had almost died of thirst. As a result, he had begun to run out of water. If he couldn't find an oasis to replenish his water supply, he would have to return the next day.
The desert under the scorching sun looked vast and dead, but in fact, it was full of life. At the same time, it was also full of fatal danger.
Kaede Sato walked very slowly. Every step he took was very steady, and each step left a deep footprint in the sand.
Suddenly, he stopped because a small part of his foot that had just stepped into the sand had sunk into it.
In the next second, he suddenly exerted force with his other foot and jumped back a short distance. At this time, a Giant Jaw Ant suddenly opened its mouth and drilled out from the sand where Kaede Sato's foot had sunk.
Due to Kaede Sato's timely retreat, the Jawed Ant that was waiting below could only bite the air with its big mouth. However, its amazing bite force still caused a slight vibration in the air.
The Giant Jaw Ant did not give up just because of the failure of its sneak attack. It began to quickly activate its sand burrow feature, causing the sand within a radius of ten meters to begin to sink with it as the center. In just a few seconds, a huge sand burrow in the shape of a hole quickly formed.
Kaede Sato was now in the sand burrow created by the Giant Jaw Ant. His feet had also chosen to sink into the soft sand, and his body began to slowly approach the Giant Jaw Ant in the center of the sand burrow.
However, Kaede Sato did not have much fear on his face at this time. Instead, he looked at the Giant Jaw Ant in front of him that was fully activating the sand burrow feature to hunt for its prey.
The Giant Jaw Ant was obviously very dissatisfied with Kaede Sato, a prey that did not show any signs of panic after falling into its trap. Before Kaede Sato completely fell in front of it, it immediately jumped out from the center of the sand burrow and then viciously bit at Kaede Sato's head.
An evil aura spread out from its big mouth, and the Giant Jaw Ant used its crushing move on Kaede Sato.
Unfortunately, before the Giant Jaw Ant could successfully bite Kaede Sato, a rapid miniature water stream suddenly shot out from Kaede Sato's chest and accurately hit the Giant Jaw Ant.
As a ground elfin, the Giant Jaw Ant's special defense was very weak. When it was hit by the rapid and rapid miniature water stream, it immediately let out a scream and fell to the ground.
At the same time, a small pentagon-shaped elfin began to emerge from Kaede Sato's chest. It was Hai Xingxing that was previously hidden by the protective camouflage. The water gun that defeated the Giant Jaw Ant was released from its gem core.
Among Kaede Sato's group of water elfins, other than the Water Arrow Turtle that could barely move around in the desert for a long time, Hai Xingxing was the only water elfin that could reduce the evaporation of water as much as possible by shrinking down.
In the past few days of battle, Hai Xingxing had been Kaede Sato's main elfin. After many battles, its level had been raised to 41, and it was not far from level 42 where it could automatically learn Psyche Reading.
In Kaede Sato's previous plan, once Hai Xingxing learned Psyche Reading, he would use the best quality water stone to smoothly evolve it into a gem starfish. By then, he would have another Esper elfin.
"Come out, Giant Swamp Monster. Feel around and see if there's anything good in this sand burrow."
After Kaede Sato defeated the Giant Jaw Ant, he released the Giant Swamp Monster and said to it with a smile.
Danger and opportunity coexisted. Although the Giant Jaw Ant was a very dangerous elfin in the desert, it was also one of the few elfins that could collect good things in the desert.
If they were lucky, the people in the desert could often find some treasures in the sand burrows that they created to live in and hunt.
Hearing that, the Giant Swamp Monster immediately stuck its body where the Giant Jaw Ant came out from. Soon, its eyes lit up and it quickly used its hands to dig out the sand beneath it.
After a while, the ground around it was littered with the bones of some unknown creatures and some trash. Finally, the Giant Swamp Monster picked out a dozen sand grains that emitted a yellow glow from the sand.
These sand grains were the treasures that were hidden in the sand burrow of the Giant Jaw Ant, and they were the raw materials used to create the soft sand that was used to enhance the ground element.
Of course, the reason why the Giant Swamp Monster was able to find these treasures in the endless sand was because the Giant Swamp Monster had outstanding control and affinity with the energy of the ground.
When the Giant Swamp Monster found these precious sand grains, the Giant Jaw Ant had recovered a bit of its stamina and then regained its consciousness.
When it saw the treasures in the Giant Swamp Monster's hand, its eyes suddenly turned red. It immediately let out a strange cry, and then, a blinding white light emitted from its body.
