Ayan and the others went all the way west, passing through the battle area between monsters and the town's guarding army, and arrived at the edge of the desert hinterland of the Cursed Land.

Ayan squinted his eyes and glanced restlessly at the dim world not far away.

"Oops! It looks like a big sandstorm is coming soon!"

Ayan muttered, and saw that the surroundings were covered with patches of sand and dust blown up by the strong wind.

Fine gravel whistled in the wind, and visibility was poor on the dunes.

You can vaguely hear the lightning and thunder in front of you, as well as the noise of fighting in Kalia Town behind you.

It was already afternoon, and Ayan couldn't tell the direction clearly. He could only rely on the faint rays of the sun in the dark clouds to continue moving towards the west.

Ayan and the others continued walking for more than two hours, when suddenly a group of figures appeared in front of them, walking slowly in the desert.

"Great! Aka, Alan, let's go over and ask!"

Ayan patted Alan on the back, and then they galloped past.

When they got closer, both Aka and Alan stopped and did not get closer, and began to make bursts of hissing sounds from their mouths.

Ayan felt a little puzzled, so he shouted loudly towards the group of figures.

"Hi, hello! May I ask..."

At this time, before Ayan could finish speaking, he immediately stopped shouting.

Now the figures in the group are clearer, gradually revealing rotten skin and emaciated bones...

…That’s not a human being at all, but a group of thieves, mummies and humanoid skeleton warriors!

Ayan stared at the group of monsters in stunned silence. He really didn't know what power was driving those stiff empty shells.

In the Monster Illustrated Book of Richardon City, there is no specific description of these things at all. It just says that they were once elves and humans, but are now dead unknown monsters.

At this time, they seemed to be wandering aimlessly in the desert!

Ayan took a breath, and then accidentally sucked the dust into his mouth.

"Cough cough cough!" He began to cough violently.

The group of monsters seemed to have heard Ayan's voice, and some of them turned around and moved quickly towards Ayan.

"Aw...aow...aow..."

They can actually make terrifying low moans from their mouths, which is chilling.

"Aka! Be careful here!" Ayan shouted hurriedly.

Aka immediately flapped his wings, whipping up waves of whirlwind and blowing towards the group of monsters.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Those didn't stop moving, Aka continued to desperately create small sandstorms, trying to prevent those monsters from approaching.

But those thieves, mummies and humanoid skeleton warriors seemed not to be afraid of the sand attack at all, and three or four of them ran straight towards Ayan quickly.

"Boom! Boom!"

Alan was frightened, screamed twice, and then took Ayan and fled two steps behind him.

At this moment, the group of death monsters seemed to have heard the noise, and they all turned around and surrounded them.

Now there are all kinds of vague figures nearby, and these monsters have surrounded them.

The visibility in the desert was getting lower and lower. Ayan and the others couldn't see the monsters clearly, so they couldn't take the initiative to attack.

Only when those monsters get close to attack can their movements be seen clearly.

Therefore, Aka and Alan have been roaring, always on guard against sneak attacks by monsters.

...What should I do?

……

By the way, I also have new weapons!

Ayan turned sideways and lowered his head, quickly took out the red snake-shaped dagger from his waist, and held it in his right hand.

Ayan shouted immediately.

"Aka, come here, come closer!"

"Chirp?" After hearing the call, Aka turned around and tilted his head, as if he didn't understand what it meant.

But in the blink of an eye, Aka walked to Ayan's side obediently.

At this time, Ayan patted Alan underneath him again, and then shouted: "Don't be afraid, I'm going to fight back! This time I will protect you!"

Then, Ayan quickly placed the dagger between his eyes, in front of his forehead, between his eyebrows, so that the tip of the blade pointed straight at the dark clouds in the sky.

Ayan raised the dagger high and at the same time concentrated on reading loudly:

"Intermediate level sage 'Red Flame Long Snake'!"

In an instant, a burst of crimson fluorescence rushed into the air and exploded instantly!

The crimson fluorescence immediately pierced the dark space and illuminated the surroundings, and those strange skeletons appeared in front of them.

Those monsters were illuminated by the fluorescent light emitted by the red snake dagger, and they began to become very anxious and kept making unpleasant low sounds.

"Aw...aow...aow..."

Suddenly, a thief mummy rushed towards Ayan.

"Hmph! I'm not afraid of you!"

Ayan shouted, and then swung the raised red snake dagger in the direction of the monster.

"Sssssssssss!"

In an instant, a long flame ignited on the edge of the dagger, and it rushed straight towards the thief mummy.

The blazing flames immediately knocked down the monster and then ignited its entire body.

The thief mummy kept rolling on the ground, and the monsters surrounding it became panicked.

"Look at how good I am!" Ayan seemed excited.

At this time, Ayan held the red snake dagger tightly, raised it high in the air, and waved it in a circle towards the blurry figures around him.

A long flame like a giant python instantly burned around Ayan, forming a huge ring of fire.

"Sssssssssss!"

Those monsters that continued to approach were instantly roasted by the blazing flames, making bursts of whining sounds.

"Uh...uh...uh..."

The huge ring of fire began to spread around as Ayan kept spinning and waving.

The thieves, mummies and humanoid skeleton warriors could only start to retreat step by step and flee in all directions.

Ayan felt that the palm of his hand holding the red snake dagger was filled with a heat flow, and this heat flow flowed along the palm of his hand and into his body.

And the holy law spirit ring on the index finger has now turned deep red!

At this time, Ayan saw a big gap in the circle surrounded by monsters.

So Ayan quickly greeted, "Aka, Alan, let's go that way!"

Aka and Alan reacted immediately and ran together in the direction indicated by Ayan.

"Chirp!", "Chirp!"

After that, they ran all the way, leaving those monsters far behind, and those terrifying figures gradually disappeared into the sand.

The big sandstorm seems to be more violent now, the sun has completely disappeared, the surroundings are dark and dark, and it is impossible to tell the direction.

Fortunately, Alan himself can emit a faint blue light, which can barely illuminate a nearby place.

Now Ayan could only half-cover his eyes, holding the red snake dagger tightly in his hand, and carefully directed the movement forward.

Ayan knew in his heart that they were lost.

After a while, as they were walking, Alan seemed to have kicked something under his feet.

Ayan looked down at the ground and saw that it was a damaged dark brown stone tablet with words he didn't recognize engraved on it.

“Why does this text seem like I’ve seen it somewhere before?”

Ayan pondered for a moment, looked up and looked around, and found that the ground was covered with scattered dark brown stone monuments.

But Ayan had never seen this kind of dark brown stone.

"Aka, Alan, let's take a look further!"

Then, they continued walking forward, and Ayan gradually discovered that in front of them was the gate of an ancient ruins.

Now the wind was blowing hard outside and the dust was flying. Ayan could only cover his eyes and patrol the area with his head lowered.

Soon after, everything outside was completely engulfed by a sandstorm, and they had no choice but to slowly walk into this ancient ruins.

This ancient ruins is different from the one near the previous monster hunting place.

The previous ancient ruins were built of granite, but the dark brown stone on the ground just now was used here.

Walking further inside, this should be a corridor of ancient ruins. There are many small stone statues and stone pillars, as well as some well-preserved stone tablets.

As we walked further in, the wind noise became much quieter, but some gravel would still fall from the roof of the ruins from time to time.

Ayan looked up and saw a lot of big spider webs on the roof, with some big centipedes stuck to them.

"Gudong!" This time a large stone fell down and hit the ground.

Ayan jumped off the unicorn Alan, bent down and picked up a slightly larger dark brown stone.

He held the stones in his hands and looked carefully, and found that there were actually many pores on the surface of these stones.

"Where did these stones come from? These pores... no wonder the sound insulation effect is so good."

Ayan was talking to himself as he put the dark brown stone into his small satchel.

"Hey, let's take some back. Maybe we can exchange them for something delicious! Aka Alan, don't you think so?"

Alan seemed to not understand what food was, and kept walking in place.

That's right, soul beasts don't need to eat...

"Chirp..." Aka next to him made a deep voice, tilting his head as if he didn't believe it.

"Boom!"

"what!"

Suddenly, there was a collapse sound and a scream from deeper in the ancient ruins.

Although the wind was still roaring on the roof, the two noises just now were very obvious.

At this time, Ayan and the others immediately became alert.

Ayan made a stop gesture towards Aka and Alan, and ordered softly.

"Shh! Aka, Alan, you wait here, I'll go inside first to see what's going on."

Then, Ayan held the red snake dagger tightly and walked quietly towards the direction where the noise had just been made.

Ayan walked slowly inside and reached the end of the corridor, where a dim light and some noisy voices gradually appeared.

Ayan continued to get closer and found that there should be a side hall of ancient ruins in front of him.

Now Ayan was hiding behind a stone pillar, carefully exposing half of his face, and looking in the direction of the light.

Ayan took a closer look and saw that under the dim candlelight, a man was pressing down on a huge fallen stone statue. There were two men beside him who were struggling to lift the huge stone statue.

"Uh, it hurts. Big brother and second brother, please help me!"

"Hey, second brother, lift this thing as hard as you can, third son can't hold it anymore!"

"Boss Sa, I have used all my strength. This stone statue feels like it has been sealed. It cannot be lifted at all!"

"San'er, you should hold it back with all your strength, you should lift it up immediately!"

Under the candlelight on the ground, the three men had dark skin and wore strange clothes. One of them had a large machete on his waist.

Aren't these the three black traders from Youla Continent whom Zizi and I met in the heavy rain before?

At this time, the fatter one among them, the Youla man, comforted him.

"Boss Sa, we'd better find someone to help. The two of us can't move this stone statue."

The tall and thin Youla man asked.

"This thing is indeed heavy... But brother, listen to the wind on the roof. There is a big sandstorm outside. Where are you going to find help?"

"Uh...uh..." The Youla man lying on the ground kept screaming in pain.

That Youla's face looks very childish, and he should be only a little older than Ayan.

Ayan leaned against the stone pillar and continued to eavesdrop on the conversation of the three people, while the screams continued.

Now Ayan is very confused, why not help them? But…

However, Zi Zi was chased by them before and Zi Zi said that they were not good people!

Ayan kept thinking and thinking, and suddenly the hand holding Shizhu accidentally slipped.

Ayan was very nervous now. He didn't stand very firmly and lost his balance. He stumbled forward a few steps and fell heavily to the ground.

"Gudong!"

At this time, the two Youla people who were carrying the huge stone statue suddenly heard the sound of falling to the ground and were startled.

Boss Sa turned his head and looked in the direction of Ayan.

"who is it!"

Ayan climbed up from the ground with difficulty, quickly hid the red flame dagger, and then patted the dust on his body.

Looking at the three Youla people in front of him, Ayan smiled awkwardly and waved to them.

"Haha! Hello!"

When Sa Laoer saw Ayan, he suddenly looked overjoyed.

"Hey! Boss Sa, isn't this someone here?"

At this time, Boss Sa shouted at Ayan in panic.

"Hey! Are you a human or something..."
