Xinxia's Psychic Spell could only last for two kilometers. (There are still three to four kilometers left. Doesn't that mean the team is going to be surrounded by the White Sand Giants?)
Ling Ling frowned. She did not expect the team to deviate from the path they had taken to cross the Drifting Sand River. They were now faced with a tricky problem.
"We can just charge forward for the last two kilometers. We'll be safe once we reach the shore. With our current speed, it won't take us long to cross the two kilometers," said Zhang Xiaohou.
Mofan slapped Zhang Xiaohou on the head and scolded, "Didn't you see what happened just now? Those White Sand Giants were like an impenetrable wall when they showed up, enough to form a sand castle."
"Indeed, it's unrealistic to charge forward with brute force. We need to discuss this further," said Zhao Manyan.
"The number of creatures in the Drifting Sand River isn't unlimited. They will only gather from a few kilometers away when they sense something approaching. In other words, if we can somehow divert their attention elsewhere, we can still move forward without using the Psychic Element's Pacification."
"The problem is, how are we going to divert their attention? Are we going to do what Ling Ling did and toss the bloody organs far away? I don't think these White Sand Giants are that stupid," said Chen Ying.
After some discussion, the team came up with a plan.
That was to have someone with high speed and high dodging ability leave the group first. That person would alert the White Sand Demon Soldiers within a radius of a few kilometers. Once the main group had successfully moved forward for a certain distance, they would think of a way to rescue that person.
However, it was extremely dangerous. The person who broke away from the team might not even have the chance to escape, and would die miserably in the middle of the encirclement.
However, the team could not come up with a better plan. They could not afford to stop moving forward. Xinxia's energy was being depleted, too. Without realizing it, the team had moved another kilometer forward. Without a better plan, they had no choice but to let Zhang Xiaohou take the risk.
"I don't think it's realistic to send someone to divert the attention of the White Sand Giants. That person is going to die for sure. However, since the White Sand Giants we'll alert are all the creatures within a few kilometers, we should think of a way to disperse them. If all the White Sand Demons are gathered together, we won't even have a chance to fight back. However, if we split them into a few groups … Those with great speed and agility can divert the attention of the White Sand Giants. Those with strong defense can also divert the attention of the White Sand Giants and waste their time.... and those with strong combat ability can eliminate the White Sand Giants in front of them as quickly as possible, to clear the path....................................
Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard the wise man's words.
Instead of risking a person's life to divert the attention of the White Sand Demons, it was better to utilize the strength of the entire team.
If they split the White Sand Demons into a few groups, it would be a lot easier for the team to deal with the White Sand Demons. However, it was an arduous task for everyone. They could not afford to make any mistakes. If someone made a mistake or died in the process, the rest of the team would most likely die, too.
The number of White Sand Giants that each person could take on was limited. As a matter of fact, the number of White Sand Giants that each person could take on had already exceeded their limit.
Either way, it was the most feasible plan. The more White Sand Giants gathered together, the more White Sand Giants would appear. Their sand sabers were incredibly powerful. Unless everyone was a defensive Magician, they would have a hard time fending off the attacks.
…
"Then I'll go and do some work first. Make sure you're on time. I woke up all the White Sand Giants in the surrounding area. You guys just have to wait to collect my corpse, "Zhang Xiaohou said nervously as he stood at the edge of the group. There were beads of sweat on his forehead.
Zhao Manyan said in a serious tone, "Don't you worry, if you're in that situation, we won't have the guts to collect your corpse."
Zhang Xiaohou silently gave Zhao Manyan the middle finger.
"Everyone else, hurry up and stay in your positions. The White Sand Giants are still in a dormant state. You can move around as you wish. It's going to be troublesome if you split up after the Psychic Spell loses its effect," Ling Ling reminded the team.
Xinxia was also giving the team time to react. She raised her hand high in the air. When she lowered her hand, the Psychic Spell would lose its effect. When that happened, the team would have to focus all their attention to take on the White Sand Giants!
The team was split into five groups.
Zhang Xiaohou was the furthest away from the team. Zhao Manyan was around five hundred meters away. Mofan was standing in another direction, around seven hundred meters away from Xinxia. Chen Ying and Mofan's Swift Star Wolf were standing in the front.
Xinxia and Ling Ling were in the middle of the team. With her Psychic Spell, she should be able to suppress the White Sand Giants in a huge area. If the team was on the verge of collapsing, they could just stick close to her. That being said, it would only increase the burden on Xinxia.
…
"I shouldn't have come in such a hurry. I should have taken the armor from Huo Tuo first. It would have been easier to deal with these White Sand Giants," murmured Mofan as he stood on the white sand.
The area within a few hundred meters was covered in white sand. It looked clean and beautiful, but when he thought about how many corpses were buried under the sand, and how the White Sand Giants that would kill without blinking their eyes would appear at any second, Mofan could feel his hair standing on end!
Mofan glanced at the furthest spot. Zhang Xiaohou was standing there alone. The guy looked like a criminal who was about to be executed on the execution ground. He was extremely nervous.
After all, it was only a plan. It was hard to tell if it could be executed safely.
Everyone's gaze shifted to Xinxia's position in the middle. When Xinxia slowly lowered her hand, everyone's heart skipped a beat!
Their breathing became extremely slow. Their legs began to spasm uncontrollably. However, it was only an illusion caused by the wind blowing at them.
The setting sun was hanging on the white horizon. The last ray of light that gave everyone a sense of relief disappeared into the darkness. At the same time, Xinxia's fair and slender right hand descended.
