After passing through the portal, Bai Ye and the soldiers felt a strong dizziness, as if their souls were instantly taken away and resettled in a completely new world. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a vast black desert.

The sand in the desert was a deep black, as if it could swallow up all the light. The sky was also pitch black, with no stars, no moon, only endless darkness. There was an oppressive and mysterious atmosphere all around, which made people feel terrified.

Bai Ye and the soldiers stood close together, their eyes full of vigilance and curiosity. They knew that this world was full of unknowns and dangers, and they had to stay vigilant at all times to survive in this world.

At this moment, they suddenly heard a low roar. The sound was getting closer and closer, accompanied by the shaking of the ground, as if some huge monster was approaching them.

Bai Ye immediately signaled the soldiers to get ready. They all drew their weapons and stared at the front. After a while, they saw dozens of giant scorpions emerging from the darkness. Their bodies were huge, more than ten meters long, and their shells were shining with a black luster, as hard as steel.

The giant scorpion's tail was raised high, with a sharp hook at the end, flashing cold light. Their eyes flashed red light, as if they could see through everything. They approached step by step, and the ground trembled slightly under their feet.

The soldiers looked at these giant scorpions, and fear surged in their hearts. They had never seen such huge creatures before, and they didn't know how to deal with them. However, Bai Ye remained calm. He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Don't panic, keep your formation, and prepare for battle!"

After hearing this, the soldiers adjusted their mindsets and stood in position according to Bai Ye's instructions. They held their weapons tightly and looked at the giant scorpions with firm eyes.

Bai Ye knew that although these giant scorpions were huge, they were not invincible. The key was whether they could stay calm and play to their strengths. He whispered to the soldiers, "The shells of giant scorpions are extremely hard, and it is difficult for our weapons to cause damage to them. However, their eyes are their weak point. As long as we can hit their eyes, we can make them lose their combat effectiveness."

The soldiers had a clue when they heard this. They began to look for opportunities to attack the giant scorpion's eyes. However, the giant scorpions were not fools. They seemed to have noticed the soldiers' intentions and became more alert and ferocious.

A giant scorpion suddenly attacked, its tail slashing at a soldier like lightning. The soldier reacted quickly and dodged sideways, but the hook on the tail still left a deep scratch on his armor.

Seeing this, Bai Ye immediately shouted, "Everyone be careful, the giant scorpion is starting to attack!"

Hearing this, the soldiers focused more on dealing with the giant scorpion's attack. They nimbly dodged the giant scorpion's tail and claws, while looking for opportunities to attack its eyes.

However, there were so many giant scorpions that they kept attacking from all directions, making it difficult for the soldiers to cope. Bai Ye watched the soldiers struggling to cope with the attacks of the giant scorpions, and he felt anxious. He knew that if they could not find a breakthrough as soon as possible, the soldiers would run out of energy and eventually fall into despair.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a solution. He shouted to the soldiers: "Everyone listen to my command. Let's form a circular formation and surround the giant scorpion in the middle!"

The soldiers immediately took action after hearing this. They quickly adjusted their positions and formed a tight circular formation. The giant scorpions looked at the soldiers' changes and seemed a little confused, but they did not stop attacking.

Bai Ye watched the giant scorpions constantly attacking the circular formation, secretly feeling lucky. He knew that this circular formation could effectively resist the giant scorpions' attacks, while also allowing them to maintain their physical strength and look for opportunities to counterattack.

Sure enough, a giant scorpion showed a flaw when it attacked the circular formation. Its eyes showed a slight gap, and Bai Ye immediately seized this opportunity. He jumped up suddenly, and the sword in his hand stabbed at the giant scorpion's eyes like lightning.

"Puff!" With a light sound, the tip of the sword pierced through the giant scorpion's eyes, and bright red blood gushed out. The giant scorpion let out a shrill roar, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

The soldiers watched Bai Ye successfully defeat a giant scorpion, and they were excited. They began to actively look for opportunities to attack the giant scorpion's eyes. After a while, several more giant scorpions fell to the ground under their attacks.

However, the number of giant scorpions was still large, and they did not retreat because of the fall of their companions. Instead, they became more ferocious and crazy, constantly attacking the circular formation.

Bai Ye looked at the soldiers' tired faces and wounds, and a sense of guilt surged in his heart. He knew that all this was caused by him. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Everyone hold on, we can't give up!"

Hearing this, the soldiers gritted their teeth and continued to persevere. They knew that as long as they could hold on, they would be able to find a breakthrough and defeat these giant scorpions.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew across the desert, bringing a moment of coolness. The giant scorpions seemed to be affected by the gust of wind, and their attacks became somewhat chaotic.

Bai Ye seized the opportunity and shouted to the soldiers: "Everyone rush out with me and attack their eyes!"

The soldiers responded after hearing this. They followed Bai Ye and rushed towards the giant scorpions like a gust of wind. Their weapons drew cold rays in the air and hit the giant scorpions' eyes directly.

The giant scorpions were caught off guard by the sudden attack and roared miserably. Soon, several of them fell to the ground under their attack.

However, the giant scorpions did not give up. They reorganized and began to fight back more fiercely. Bai Ye and the soldiers kept dodging the giant scorpions' attacks while looking for opportunities to fight back.

The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides were exhausted. However, Bai Ye and the soldiers did not give up, and they continued to fight the giant scorpions with their firm will and courage.

Finally, in a fierce battle, Bai Ye found a perfect opportunity. He suddenly jumped up, and the sword in his hand stabbed at the eye of a giant scorpion like lightning. This time, his sword accurately penetrated the giant scorpion's eye and directly pierced into its brain.

The giant scorpion let out a deafening roar, then fell to the ground. Its body twitched a few times, then it became completely motionless. The other giant scorpions seemed a little frightened when they saw this scene. They began to retreat and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Bai Ye and the soldiers looked at the giant scorpion corpses scattered all over the ground, and they felt an indescribable excitement in their hearts. They knew that they had finally defeated these terrible creatures and successfully took the first step out of the black desert.

They supported each other to stand up, with smiles of victory on their tired faces. They knew that this was just the beginning, and there were more unknowns and dangers waiting for them ahead. However, they believed that as long as they could maintain unity and courage, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

Bai Ye looked at the soldiers, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that these soldiers were his most precious treasures, and they were brothers who had experienced the test of life and death together. He whispered to the soldiers, "Everyone has worked hard. Let's take a rest and then continue on."

The soldiers nodded when they heard this. They found a relatively safe place and sat down to rest. Although their bodies were exhausted, their hearts were full of strength and confidence.

During the rest, Bai Ye began to think about the next plan. He knew that this black desert was just an obstacle on their way forward, and there were more unknowns and dangers waiting for them ahead. He had to make a careful plan to ensure their safety.

He whispered to the soldiers, "This black desert is full of unknowns and dangers. We must be careful. Next, we will split into several groups and take turns to be on guard and find food. At the same time, we must keep in touch at all times to ensure that we can support each other in time if any danger occurs."

The soldiers all agreed with what he said. They knew that Bai Ye's plan was out of concern and protection for them. They began to act according to Bai Ye's plan, some were responsible for vigilance, and some were responsible for finding food and water.

The days of traveling in the black desert were full of hardships and dangers. Not only did they have to face the harsh natural environment, but they also had to be vigilant against possible dangerous creatures. However, Bai Ye and the soldiers did not give up. With their firm will and courage, they moved forward step by step.

One day, they found a mysterious ruin in the desert. This ruin looked very old, as if it had existed for thousands of years. Its walls were engraved with mysterious runes and patterns, which made people curious and awed.

Bai Ye looked at these runes and patterns, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart. He remembered that they had encountered similar runes and patterns in previous explorations. These runes and patterns seemed to hide some mysterious power and secrets.

He whispered to the soldiers: "This relic may hide some important secrets or clues. We must explore it carefully and see if we can find any useful information."

The soldiers nodded when they heard this. They began to enter the ruins carefully and began their exploration. They carefully observed every corner and detail, fearing that they would miss any important clues.

Deep in the ruins, they found an ancient stone chamber. The walls of this stone chamber were engraved with complex runes and patterns, and it seemed to be a mysterious ritual site. In the center of the stone chamber, there was an ancient altar with a dazzling gem on it.

This gem was very similar to the one they had seen in the temple, but it was much larger and more dazzling. It emitted a soft and mysterious light, as if it contained some powerful power.

Bai Ye looked at the gem and felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. He knew that the gem might be closely related to their mission. He whispered to the soldiers, "This gem might be the key clue we have been looking for. We must carefully take it down and study its secrets."

The soldiers nodded when they heard this. They began to approach the altar carefully, preparing to take down the gem. However, at this moment, they suddenly heard a low roar. The sound became louder and louder, accompanied by the shaking of the ground, as if some huge monster was approaching them.

Bai Ye immediately signaled the soldiers to get ready. They all held their weapons tightly and stared at the front. After a while, they saw a huge creature emerging from the darkness. Its body was huge, like a giant scorpion, but there were many differences. Its shell shone with a black luster, as hard as steel; its eyes flashed red light, as if it could see through everything; its tail hovered in the air like a giant dragon, with a sharp hook at the end, flashing cold light.

This was a creature they had never seen before, and its appearance made them feel a strong sense of fear and uneasiness. Bai Ye and the soldiers' heartbeats suddenly accelerated, and they stared closely at the unprecedented huge creature in front of them. It approached them in a slow and threatening manner, and every step was accompanied by a slight tremor on the ground.

"Prepare for battle, everyone be careful." Bai Ye's voice was low and firm, he tried to stay calm to deal with the impending crisis. The soldiers quickly adjusted their positions to form a defensive formation, their weapons flashing coldly in the dim light.

The eyes of the giant creature were like burning flames, staring at them, as if to suck their souls into the endless darkness. Its tail was waving in the air, and every swing was accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, and the sharp hook seemed to be able to tear everything apart.

"Attack!" Bai Ye gave the order, and the soldiers immediately launched an attack. The swords, spears, bows and arrows in their hands flew towards the giant creature like raindrops. However, those seemingly sharp weapons could only leave shallow scratches when they came into contact with the shell of the giant creature.

The huge creature let out a deafening roar and began to fight back. Its tail swept like lightning, and a soldier was hit hard before he could dodge. He was thrown several meters away, and his life was in danger.

"Everyone be careful, its shell is extremely hard, we must find its weakness!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, trying to guide the soldiers to find a breakthrough point. However, the giant creature's attack became more and more fierce, and the soldiers could only cope with it.

At this moment, Bai Ye noticed that the eyes of the giant creature seemed a little different. Although they were flashing red, at certain moments, they would reveal a faint blue light. He was moved and guessed that this might be the weakness of the giant creature.

"Attack its eyes!" Bai Ye shouted loudly. Upon hearing this, the soldiers adjusted their attack direction and locked their targets on the giant creature's eyes. Their weapons once again rained down on the giant creature, and this time, the target was more clear.

After continuous attacks, one of the giant creature's eyes was finally hit. It let out a shrill roar, and its entire body began to tremble violently. Bai Ye seized the opportunity, jumped up, and the sword in his hand stabbed at the other eye of the giant creature like lightning.
