A week had passed, and the ruins exploration team was almost done with their preparations. Just yesterday, Sirona had returned to the base. It was said that she had found all the items needed to break the seal of the ruins, and was ready to deal with the problem of the seal at any time.
This afternoon, Kanzaki finally led a group of adventurers out of the desert. Kanzaki's team of nearly three hundred people, together with various large and small mechanical devices, formed a long line as they headed into the depths of the desert.
At this time, Kaede Sato was sitting in the off-road vehicle driven by Hughes, and then followed the team comfortably. However, he had to leave the off-road vehicle from time to time and then take shifts with some trainers who were patrolling around the team.
After leaving the oasis where they had adapted to the temperature, the group entered the desert not long after. Soon, they once again felt the harsh environment of the desert. Even though they kept drinking water, the water in their bodies could not be retained, causing them to constantly feel thirsty.
It could not be helped. Although it was very difficult to walk in the desert under the scorching sun, the desert at night was far more dangerous than during the day.
Therefore, in consideration of the safety of most of the explorers who did not have much ability to protect themselves, Kamiyo insisted on walking in the day.
"Pikachu ~ ~"
Although Pikachu was wearing a hat, his fine hair made his body temperature rise rapidly under the scorching sun. He had just left Hughes' air-conditioned vehicle not long ago, and he was already so hot that he could not stand it. At this time, he was lying on Kaede Sato's shoulder like a dog.
"Who told you not to enter the pokeball? You're dying of heat. Hang in there, the sun is going to set soon. I think we'll reach our destination by then."
When Kaede Sato saw Pikachu's expression, he immediately teased Pikachu a little. He then took out a water bag and let him drink a few mouthfuls of diluted gemstone grade energy cube salt water to replenish his water and salt.
After drinking the diluted gemstone energy cube, Pikachu's mental state quickly improved. He then stood on Kaede Sato's shoulder and looked around energetically.
Soon, he found something that he was interested in. Then, he focused on admiring the beautiful scenery not far away. He looked extremely fascinated. If it wasn't for the Hidden Dragon using its tongue to pull him back, he probably would have flown over unknowingly.
It was inevitable that the huge group would alert the wild elves living nearby. Some of them were not to be trifled with and were extremely violent, such as the hippopotamuses and rock werewolves.
(Due to the influence of globalization, species that were originally unique to various parts of the world have begun to appear in other places. Just like the thunderbolt bomb in a certain episode of the anime, it was abandoned by a human trainer in a town that originally had no thunderbolt bombs. Not long after, a large number of thunderbolt bombs and naughty thunderbolt bombs appeared in this town.)
The hippopotamuses were fine since they usually didn't like to move around. They would not pursue once they left their territory.
On the other hand, the rock werewolves were different. Not only were these stubborn desert wolves that lived in the desert powerful in numbers, they would never stay in the same place for too long. They would follow closely behind their prey whenever they encountered one, and would swarm them the moment they noticed that their prey had let down their guard.
Most of the group of almost three hundred people were ordinary humans who had little ability to protect themselves and untrained elves with low combat strength. They were undoubtedly a juicy piece of meat for desert wolves like the rock werewolves.
Not long ago, the expedition party had encountered a pack of over five hundred large rock werewolves.
Although Kamiyo and Sirona immediately realized that something was wrong and tried to chase them away, the desert wolves kept sending scouts to follow the party closely. Now, they couldn't chase them away even if they wanted to.
Most of the people who had experience traversing the desert knew that the pack of desert wolves had set their sights on the expedition party that had ample supplies.
As a member of the escort party, Kaede Sato naturally couldn't just sit by and watch. He immediately took the initiative to cut off the little tails that were following the party.
This time, the rock werewolves that were following the party were all in their daytime form. They moved very quickly in this form, and most of their special traits were to pull sand. Once they used Sandstorm, their movement speed in the desert was unmatched by any elves on land.
"Awooo …"
One of the rock werewolves that was following the expedition party saw Kaede Sato walking toward it from a distance. Its eyes immediately showed a hint of vigilance, and when Kaede Sato was less than twenty meters away from it, the rock werewolf seemed to sense danger. It immediately howled and used Sandstorm to retreat without hesitation.
In an instant, a miniature sandstorm appeared around the rock werewolf. Then, the werewolf's movement speed skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from Kaede Sato's sight under the cover of the miniature sandstorm.
"That's really vigilant. It's not sloppy at all. It's really good at executing orders."
Kaede Sato said dispiritedly when he saw the rock werewolf retreat without hesitation.
His original intention was to capture a rock werewolf as a mount, but it was a pity that these wild elves were too vigilant. Not only were they excellent at escaping in the desert, it was almost impossible to catch up to them.
"These hyenas of the desert are very cunning. They never fight a battle they don't have a chance of winning, and they have great stamina too. Just you wait, they'll definitely come back once we leave."
"Judging from their habits, I'm guessing they'll only attack when we're at our most tired. We have to be alert tonight."
A tanned man came to Kaede Sato's side and handed a clean snow pear to Kaede Sato. He then ate the pear in his other hand while looking at the rock werewolf that was following closely behind the party.
The tanned man's name was Ruger. He was a trainer from the Alliance who had recently come to escort them. Just like Kaede Sato's current identity, he was a civilian trainer.
Therefore, when he learned that Kaede Sato was also a civilian and heard of Kaede Sato's deeds in the oasis, the straightforward man quickly became good friends with Kaede Sato. In recent days, he would drag Kaede Sato out for drinks and meals almost every night.
Ruger had been to many places and was very knowledgeable. He was also very powerful and was a trainer who was almost at the pinnacle of the Heavenly King realm. When Kaede Sato fought him in private, the little elf who relied solely on Zhe Ping's identity had always lost more than he won.
Even the usually rebellious Dark Wood Liang didn't dare to speak rudely in front of Ruger for fear of being beaten up after suffering so many defeats at his hands.
Kaede Sato didn't hold back either. He used his spiritual power to divide the snow pear into three portions. After eating one portion, he gave the other two portions to the Pikachu and the Hidden Dragon on his shoulder.
The snow pear was just taken out of the fridge. On such a hot day, one bite of the iced snow pear would instantly reduce the heat in one's body by more than half. It would instantly rejuvenate one's spirit.
"Capture the ringleader first. As long as Mr. Kamiyo and Miss Sirona defeat the wolf King, these desert wolves would be scattered like sand. When the time comes, taking care of them would be a piece of cake."
Kaede Sato said nonchalantly as he finished the snow pear in his hand.
However, despite his words, his eyes were staring at the direction where the rock werewolf had left. There was a serious look in his eyes.
