Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Through the thick sand, they could still hear the howling of the wind. It was difficult to tell when it would stop.

"Mo Fan, do you think you're out of your mind? Why are you carrying poker cards with you? We've lost our way, and we don't know where Nanyu is. We're trapped in this godforsaken sand cave. Who would have the mood to continue playing?" Jiang Yu asked Mo Fan sternly.

"So you're not following us no matter what?" Mo Fan asked.

"Yes," Jiang Yu nodded and said, "I'm not, your cards are definitely better than mine."

Jiang Yu threw the cards in his hand away. Even though he was feeling sorry for losing a high-quality Soul Seed Piece, Mo Fan was betting half of a Soul-grade Seed. If Jiang Yu followed, he would surely lose a lot.

If Jiang Yu did not follow, Mo Fan would win. He would take all the Soul Seed Pieces, which amounted to around eight million, almost half a packet of milk powder from Little Flame Belle!

"F * * k me, don't be in such a rush to take the money, show me your cards."

"The king is the biggest!" Mo Fan grinned.

"F * * k me!"

"Damn it, I even threw away a pair of hoops. Mo Fan, aren't you f * * king asshole!"

"Speaking of which, it feels like the sandstorm has weakened."

"Trying to run away after winning? Don't you dare! Deal me the cards, I'm going to win it back! "

The sandstorm was indeed calming down. The team stopped fighting as they assumed that Nanyu might have returned to her original position.

…

After peeling away the thick layer of sand and dust, everyone finally pushed away all the sand and dust that covered them with great effort. Only then did they realize that the sand they were on had become a towering sand dune at some point in time.

"This is insane, the height of the sand has increased by a few dozen meters all of a sudden." Zhao Manting scanned his surroundings. He could no longer recognize where they were standing before.

Faced with this unrecognizable desert, if they hadn't been guarding their own land from the beginning, they would have thought that they had been blown to another desert by the sandstorm!

It was hard to accept that the sand had turned into an undulating sand dune.

The yellow sandstorm was still drifting in the air. A few hours later, the sand finally cleared up. The team was hoping that Nanyu would reappear a kilometer away and send the signal in their direction. However, the surroundings were still empty. There was no sign of Nanyu.

"Isn't it a bad idea to keep waiting?" Jiang Yu was a little hesitant. He glanced at the sand dune and said, "You all saw how powerful the sandstorm was. It could easily recreate a huge desert. The place we're standing at now is different from before. It's possible that we're more than a kilometer away from the exit of the maze. Maybe Nanyu never moved at all, but we're not standing where we should be."

"That's possible too. Otherwise, why can't I see her anywhere? Nanyu was less than a kilometer away from me, but I bet I can't even see her within five kilometers, let alone a kilometer away," said Zhao Manting.

"Let me tell you, a lot of teams that got lost in the desert bewildering world lost their way because of people like the two of you, causing them to think that this kind of waiting was meaningless, so they went far away. I've heard a thing or two about the Sahara Desert. It's said that the only way to identify the location of the maze is to stand still. As long as you don't move, it means you're still standing at the same spot. However, if you move or waver, the maze will really bring you to the desert of death. When that happens, even Super Magicians won't dare to come and save you. You'll be buried in the desert forever, "Jiang Shaoxu said in a serious tone.

They couldn't move, and they were determined not to move. Without knowing the correct way to traverse the desert maze, moving would only cause them to sink deeper. Jiang Shaoxu couldn't let these two weak-willed fellows waver. After all, this wasn't a joke. It was very difficult for people who got lost in the desert maze to survive!

"Let's keep waiting. It doesn't matter if it's raining, thunder, or hail, we can't move. Otherwise, we won't even have a chance to save them," Mo Fan said.

They could tell that Jiang Shaoxu was extremely serious from her words. It was true that none of them had a good idea of how to navigate the maze. Even Jiang Yu, who had the Chaos Element, had no idea how to deal with it, either.

They could only wait, a boring, determined wait. As Jiang Shaoxu had mentioned, once they wavered, they would fall right into the trap of the maze!

…

From day to night, they had unwittingly waited in the same spot for two days.

The past two days had been particularly long and torturous. There had been a few times when someone had suggested taking a walk, but Jiang Shaoxu had sternly rejected them in the end.

As food and water were running out, it was only a matter of time before they became extremely anxious. The more anxious they were, the more difficult it was to maintain their rationality.

Therefore, this desert maze was no longer as simple as a maze. It was more of a test for the souls of the travelers. If a team was not united enough, it was very easy for their united hearts to collapse in such a hopeless wait!

Luckily, Mo Fan's group of five had gotten along quite well. Apart from the occasional chatter, they were still waiting patiently for Mo Fan's return.

"Say, are we really going to keep waiting?" Zhao Manting suddenly said with a twisted expression.

"Of course we are, didn't you hear what Jiang Shaoxu said?" Mo Fan said confidently.

"Can you take a closer look at the sand dune before you answer my question?" Zhao Manting pointed at one of the sand dunes, pointing at the faint gray figures that gradually appeared on the sand dunes.

Mo Fan glanced into the distance and saw a long line of migrating creatures on the sand dunes in the distance. They were slowly climbing over the sand dunes and moving along the path that led to them.

If it was only a bunch of Desert Foxes, they could treat them calmly. The problem was, these Desert Foxes were a lot bigger than ordinary foxes. They were as big as an adult water buffalo!

Their tails were extremely long. Some of them were even a few meters long when they were dragged on the ground. Some of them had their tails curled up and swaying, like furry snakes.

The fangs and claws of these foxes were fairly sharp, too. It was obvious that they were not friendly creatures. As for their green eyes? The glow they emitted indicated that they were extremely hungry and restless!

"Sandfear Fox!" Jiang Yu's heart skipped a beat when he recognized the creature right away, despite being an expert on animals.

In other deserts, this kind of Sandfear Fox was basically a lone ranger. With their strength, it was not a problem at all for them to carve out a territory that belonged to them. However, there was a whole group of Sandfear Foxes in front of them, and they seemed to be in a state of migration. This was too unbelievable!

The Sandfear Foxes were the kind that would often invade someone else's territory and force the demon creatures to leave, yet here they were, hugging each other tightly while migrating …

"Are they easy to deal with?" Mo Fan asked.

The Sandfear Foxes were migrating in this direction. Judging from their hunger, they would definitely fight them no matter what. Most importantly, they couldn't move at the moment!

"They're not easy to deal with," Jiang Yu said with a long face.

"Why don't we make way for them?" Zhao Manting suggested.

"Make way for them? They're just a bunch of demon creatures. We can kill them all and get some fox meat for ourselves!" Mo Fan cursed.

Mo Fan was a battle-maniac. He was already bored out of his mind in the desert. Not only would he be able to improve his spells, he would also be able to acquire more Soul Remnants. If he was lucky, he might even find some rare bones, claws, or skin. He could even sell them for some money. Why not?

"Let's fight, we won't move away from this place," Jiang Shaoxu said firmly.

Mo Fan, Jiang Yu, Mu Ningxue, and Zhao Manting went into position, ready to welcome the Sandfear Foxes.

If they were sensible, they would simply walk past them. None of them would provoke one another. If they were not sensible, they could forget about migrating, as this place was going to be their burial ground!

"Err … aren't there a lot of them? Why do I feel like they aren't migrating?" Jiang Yu said softly after some time.

More Sandfear Foxes kept appearing from behind the sand dunes. The initially long line was now extremely long.

On top of that, the Sandfear Foxes were not moving forward in a straight line. They gradually split into a few groups and spread out across the sand dunes, like a group of soldiers who had occupied the top of a hill and were preparing for battle.

"Aren't they trying to surround us?" Zhao Manting said.

The Sandfear Foxes gradually spread out across the sand dunes in front of the group. They were staring at Mo Fan and the others, but for some reason, it felt like they were not only targeting Mo Fan and the others.

On top of that, the Sandfear Foxes were not in a rush to attack. Instead, they were in a standoff, which made the group even more confused. Based on the behavior of demon creatures, they would pounce at the humans like rabid dogs when there were too few of them. There was no standoff at all!

"By the way … aren't any of you going to turn around?" Mu Ningxue suddenly said.

"Turn around? What are you looking at? Fuck me!! Before Mo Fan could finish, he suddenly discovered scarlet figures covering the sand dunes behind him!

Mad Scorpions!

Scarlet Mad Scorpions!

The group was fully focused on the Sandfear Foxes, as if they were facing a formidable foe. After all, their numbers were terrifying, yet they did not expect so many scarlet scorpions to appear behind them …
