My place is on fire

Gao Yaling can now be said to have a strong army and a powerful force.

With the help of Sasha and the summoned sandman, her efficiency in obtaining points increased several times faster than before.

In addition, after she took the Wind-Fixing Pill, her attributes restrained the elite sand people, and she can now easily kill elite sand people with more points.

From the initial escape, to the later active attack, to now, the refresh speed of the elite sand people can no longer keep up with Gao Yaling's killing speed.

puff!
A water curtain sword accurately hit the core of an elite sand man, killing it instantly!

[Ding! Congratulations on killing an elite sandman and getting 100 points! ]

The elite sand man in front of him instantly turned into a pile of yellow sand.

At the same time, Gao Yaling saw that the sand man she summoned also died together with an elite sand man.

So, she simply [Summon Sandman] and re-summoned the sandman she had just killed.

Hula~
The elite sandman who had just turned into a pile of loose sand instantly stood up from the ground and condensed into a human form again.

The sand person summoned this time was actually a female sand person with obvious female characteristics, which is quite rare.

[Ding! Your pet Shasha killed an elite sandman, and you got 100 points! ]

After Shasha killed the last elite sandman, she also gave Gao Yaling 100 points.

After all the sandmen were dealt with, the scene suddenly became quiet and the noise of the rioting wind gradually subsided.

Sasha also changed back into human form and walked to Gao Yaling with graceful steps, like a warrior who had won the battle.

When Sasha saw that the sand person next to Gao Yaling was actually a female sand person with the same impressive figure as herself, she raised her head as if she was competing with the other party in figure.

Whether they are ordinary sand people or elite sand people, their IQs don’t seem to be very high. They usually act and attack according to instinct and rarely show their emotions.

But Shasha is different from the other sand people. Although she cannot speak human language, she can express her emotions in her own language and has her own joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.

Although she is nominally Gao Yaling's pet, Gao Yaling has always regarded it as her companion and friend.

"Not bad, Shasha. Here, let me give you some Shajing to replenish your strength~"

As Gao Yaling spoke, she casually threw a yellowish-brown sand crystal to Shasha.

"Chirp, chirp~"

Sasha stretched out her hand and took the sand crystal that Gao Yaling gave her, with a happy expression on her face.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the whole thing into his stomach, then looked very satisfied.

For Shasha, sand crystal is not only the best supplement for restoring physical strength, but it can even enhance its strength.

Although the performance in enhancing strength is not very obvious, the progress will be obvious over time.

Moreover, Sasha and Gao Yaling's advancement processes are somewhat different.

Gao Yaling only needs to work hard to practice the art of guiding cosmic energy to advance.

Shasha doesn't know how to practice, so if she wants to advance, she can only rely on eating sand crystals.

To advance from the current stage to the next stage, thousands of sand crystals are needed.

It does not produce sand crystals itself, so it is highly dependent on Gao Yaling.

It is all fed by the sand crystals that Gao Yaling explodes.

The chance of elite sandmen dropping sand crystals is much greater than that of ordinary sandmen.

At this moment, Gao Yaling can produce about ten sand crystals every day.

But it is enough for Sasha to consume at most 3 pills a day, so she can save up 7 pills.

Wide in and narrow out, Gao Yaling now has hundreds of sand crystals in her backpack, and she has almost achieved sand crystal freedom.

But along with that comes a problem.

Although sand crystal may seem small in size, it is very heavy. One piece of sand crystal weighs about 1KG.

Hundreds of sand crystals weigh 100KG, which is quite a burden!

Whenever Gao Yaling was fighting, she would throw her backpack aside and would pick it up again when the battle was over.

"It would be great if I could have a storage ring like Master's!"

When Gao Yaling thought of the magical storage ring in Luo Xuning's hand, she began to envy him again.

"How come the master has so many strange and wonderful things? I really wonder if he is from Earth."

"Could it be that he is a superhero from another planet who came to save the Earth?"

"By the way, I have been on this Ape Planet for more than half a year. I don't know how Master and the others are doing now, or what experiences they have had."

"Could it be that they have completed their mission and returned to Earth, leaving me here alone?"

"It shouldn't be like that, it shouldn't be like that, it definitely won't be like that, I'm just thinking too much!"

"Time on the Planet of the Apes flows 10 times slower than in a balloon."

"When I first entered the dungeon, I was told that I could stay here for 10 years."

"The cosmic energy here is so rich that even after completing the mission, I will definitely not be willing to leave so easily."

“I will definitely stay here for the full ten years!”

"Master and the others will never give up on me, they will never, they will never!"

Gao Yaling still has great confidence in Luo Xuning and her fellow brothers and sisters, knowing that they will definitely not give up on her.

He reached into his backpack and took out the 'Spiritual Compass' that he had exchanged before. The only needle on it was still pointing to the east.

Gao Yaling knew that her current route was correct, but she was delayed for some time by the Sand City and the treasures inside it.

"Huh? It's been so long and no sandman has come up yet?"

Gao Yaling looked in the direction of the huge pit. More than ten minutes had passed since the last wave of sand people were cleared out and killed.

Before, a new sandman would crawl out of the giant pit every three minutes or so, leaving Gao Yaling no time to breathe.

The interval this time is obviously much larger than before.

"Let's go, Shasha, let's go to the front and take a look."

Gao Yaling waved her hand and walked towards the edge of the huge pit with Shasha and the sandman she had just summoned.

Standing at the edge of the huge pit, Gao Yaling looked down into the pit. Just like before, there was still no sight to the bottom.

The light became dimmer as you went down, until even the golden light in the center of the giant pit could no longer illuminate the surrounding environment.

After waiting for a long time, the sandman still did not refresh.

"It's time to explore down there. Sasha, go get my bag for me."

Gao Yaling took a deep breath and turned to look at Shasha.

Sasha nodded obediently and went to help Gao Yaling get her bag.

After all, the bag contains her own food rations, if she is not proactive, who will?
In human form, Sasha is over two meters tall, very sturdy, and very strong.

The 100KG backpack was a piece of cake for it, and it quickly helped Gao Yaling carry it to the front.

Gao Yaling opened her backpack and checked it. There was a large bag of barbecue inside, enough for her to eat for about 5 days.

There is a Water Curtain Sword to replenish water at the water source, so there is no need to worry.

"OK! No problem. Let's go, Shashasha, and go to the bottom of the pit to see what treasures there are!" Everything was ready. Gao Yaling took a deep breath and prepared to continue exploring downwards.

"Chirp, chirp~"

Sasha shouted happily twice, then stretched out her arms towards Gao Yaling.

Gao Yaling and Sasha had a very good understanding of each other. She took a few steps forward to Sasha and naturally gave her her back.

After Sasha picked up Gao Yaling from behind, she jumped off the edge of the huge pit, used herself as a skateboard for Gao Yaling to ride on, and dived down with her to the bottom of the huge pit.

The edge of the giant pit is a huge slope like a big bowl. It is not straight up or down, but it is very suitable for sliding.

Blah blah blah, blah blah, blah blah--!

Gao Yaling sat on Shasha and slid down. Due to inertia, her speed became faster and faster.

It quickly accelerated to a speed of 100KG/hour, but this huge pit seemed like a bottomless abyss.

After sliding down for more than two hours, the speed remained unchanged. The scene in front of us was nothing but yellow sand. There was no change at all.

"This pit is too big..."

After sliding down for more than an hour, Gao Yaling still couldn't reach the huge pit. She couldn't help but feel nervous.

Gradually, the vision inside the pit began to become dim.

Even though Gao Yaling's eyesight had been greatly enhanced after she learned thermal vision, she began to have trouble seeing.

yah~
Two blazing gazes probed downwards like two lasers, but the pit was still bottomless and no one could see the bottom!

At this moment, Gao Yaling suddenly began to hesitate.

It's easy to go down the pit, but it's hard to get out!

What if I can’t reach the bottom of the exploration and can’t go up even if I want to? That would be a big trouble!

"I was careless. I should have learned the flying skills before going down to explore. I was too impatient!"

"Let's explore downwards for another hour. If we still can't reach the bottom, this exploration will be temporarily ended. Let's return to the surface first!"

"Next time, wait until you have exchanged for the flying skill before coming down."

Soon, Gao Yaling made a decision and gave her final bottom line.

However, although she said she regretted it, she actually did not regret taking this risk in her heart.

The elite sandmen and sandmen that crawled out of the giant pit stopped refreshing, and the sandmen in the city had basically been killed by her.

I want to accumulate more than 20 points on the ground, but I don’t know how long it will take!
Even if this exploration fails, Gao Yaling will come down again after going up!
Crash, crash!
After sliding down for about an hour, there was still no sign of reaching the bottom, but Gao Yaling's heart was about to sink to the bottom.

"If there is still no change in the last 100 numbers, we will return and make adequate preparations before coming down again."

This time, Gao Yaling only brought enough food for five or six days, so she didn't dare to go too deep.

It would be so funny if we starved to death on the way!

"100...99...98...97..."

When the countdown reached 38, Gao Yaling suddenly saw a ray of light appear below!

The light is very conspicuous in the dim environment, just like a ray of sunshine in the dark night!
“Finally, there is a change!”

"Fortunately I didn't give up!"

After seeing the bright light below, Gao Yaling finally put her heart back into her stomach, secretly thanking herself for not giving up too early.

This is the reward for persistence!

Crash, whoosh--!

After sliding down for more than an hour, Gao Yaling's eyes suddenly opened up and her vision became clear.

When Gao Yaling saw the scene in front of her, her mouth opened in surprise, with a look of disbelief!

At the bottom of the sand pit, there is an underground city that is very similar in shape to the sand city on the ground!
Moreover, the scale of this city seems to be extremely large, not smaller than the cities on the ground!

Standing on a high vantage point, Gao Yaling can overlook the entire city.

Unlike the sand city on the ground, which is full of yellow sand and dilapidated scenes.

The city is surrounded by greenery and the buildings look very new. What surprised Gao Yaling the most was...

With her eyesight, she could even see countless people walking on the streets of this city!

"It's actually a human city!"

Gao Yaling exclaimed, and suddenly became a little excited and excited!
It has been more than half a year since she came to the Death Desert of the Planet of the Apes.

Every day I deal with all kinds of monsters, and every day I fight, fight, and fight.

She hadn't seen a human for a long time and felt like she was isolated from the world.

Today, she suddenly saw humans, even though these humans were not from Earth, she felt very close to them!

Blah, blah, blah--!

After sliding down for more than an hour, Gao Yaling's vision became wider.

She saw that outside this city was also a vast desert, just like outside the sand city.

In the desert, monsters were running around everywhere.

There were countless tornadoes of all sizes.

Gao Yaling was naturally very familiar with these tornadoes, as they were the reason why she had killed thousands of elite sand people during this period.

What is strange is that whether it is the monsters in the desert, the sand people, or the elite sand people, they all only move within the scope of the desert.

These monsters and sand people, as if they were abiding by some agreement, would never set foot in the oasis where the city was located.

Crash, whoosh--!

After sliding down for more than an hour, Gao Yaling finally reached the bottom of the pit and her feet were back on the ground.

The direction where she landed was in the northwest of the city, surrounded by huge stone tablets.

The shortest of these stone tablets is hundreds of meters high, similar to the more than 30-story buildings in the community.

The tallest ones are over a thousand meters high, standing above the ground and rising into the sky.

When I came down from the height, I didn't feel how tall they were, but when I stood under these stone tablets, I realized how majestic they were.

"Shasha, please return to your original form first."

After hearing Gao Yaling's words, Shasha turned into a pile of sand on the ground with a crash.

Then, a mini version of Sasha, only the size of a palm, flew out from the loose sand.

This is Sasha’s original form. She could directly fit into Gao Yaling’s backpack and was not as conspicuous as she is now.

This strange city ahead is, after all, a human city.

As a sand person, Shasha had better keep a low profile to avoid arousing hostility from others and causing a disturbance.

I know nothing about this city, so it's better to keep a low profile.

After Shasha returned to her original form and got into Gao Yaling's backpack, she started walking towards the city. (End of this chapter)
