In the huge scorpion ant colony, the snake swam forward tremblingly. Yun Nian even thought it looked like it was about to faint.

But the final result was that after waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, the snake finally crawled to the end, twisted an exaggerated arc on the sand dune, and then disappeared.

"It looks like it could work, do you want to try it?"

Yun Nian retracted his gaze and looked at the two men standing beside him.

Although Langya looked solemn, he nodded. As for Zuo Mingyuan, he looked eager to try.

"Let me go first. I know more about the desert than you do. If I really get hit by the scorpion ants, remember to leave quickly and don't go in recklessly."

He looked very nervous, his big muscles twitched for a moment, and then he raised his foot and stood on it carefully.

As soon as he stepped onto the sandy road, the middle of the road sank a little, and the scorpion ant seemed to slide towards the middle.

"Back off!"

Yun Nian took a step forward, grabbed Langya's sleeve, and pulled hard, but it didn't move. Fortunately, Zuo Mingyuan also reacted and hit him in the chest with the back of the knife, knocking him back.

The place where the wolf fang had just landed had been completely occupied by the scorpion ants. If it had not retreated in time, it would have been bitten.

"You forgot that the snake is too light and you are too heavy. The sand will sink in."

Yun Nian frowned and looked at the shadows at the edges, thinking for a while.

"Langya, you can only go last. If you go first, this road will be filled by scorpion ants. There must be something on the surface of the sand in the middle, so these scorpion ants will avoid it and gather together again after the surface sand sinks."

It seems that only she or Zuo Mingyuan can go first.

"Sisi, how about I carry you over there?"

Zuo Mingyuan stretched out his hand, his eyes sparkling, but Yun Nian gently slapped it away.

"The two of us together are almost heavier than Wolf Fang. How do you expect him to leave?"

He scratched his head, feeling a little frustrated.

"Then I'll go first. I'm good at martial arts, so I should be able to get there quickly. I'll meet you on the other side when the time comes."

Zuo Mingyuan jumped easily after he finished speaking, his toes touching the sand, and floated lightly. In just a few breaths, he had reached the other side and waved to Yun Nian.

"Qinggong is really useful..."

The girl said this with some envy, but when she thought of the scene of Zuo Mingyuan practicing Qinggong under the stick, she felt that it would be good not to practice.

She stood alone in the middle of the passage, picked up her skirt, stepped over the small scorpion ants on the edge, and stood in the middle of the ant colony. Zuo Mingyuan was ready to attack at any time in front of her, while Langya was looking at her feet nervously.

Surrounded by poisonous and man-eating scorpions and ants, Yun Nian found that his heartbeat had also become somewhat faster. The "thump" and "thump" sounds beat along with his eardrums, as if his soul was trembling.

"Be careful and go slowly."

She whispered to herself,

Standing in the middle of the scorpion ant colony, I heard the sound of their rapid crawling, which was like the sound of nails scraping on a porcelain bowl, making my scalp numb and my hair stand on end.

There seemed to be curved lines appearing in front of her eyes, connecting to form circles.

But she didn't stop, but kept walking forward. The sand sank slightly under her feet, but not much, so the scorpion ant didn't slide down.

"Susu!"

"Susu!"

The continuous voices were like some mysterious spell, lingering in Yun Nian's ears. She had clearly seen the road under her feet and was sure that she was walking in a straight line, but in a trance she saw Zuo Mingyuan shouting something at her.

"..."

"Sisi!"

"right!"

She finally heard the urgent voice, and when Zuo Mingyuan was about to come over, she twisted her body to the right.

When Yun Nian reached the other side in this situation and looked back, cold sweat suddenly broke out.

The footprints she left behind were crooked and almost stepped directly into the ant colony. No wonder Zuo Mingyuan was so anxious.

Before she recovered from her shock, Langya had already rushed over, and countless scorpion ants gathered behind him, as if they were devouring him.

By the time he came over, the passage that the person had passed through had finally completely disappeared and could no longer be seen.

"It's over, how are we going to get back afterwards?"

Zuo Mingyuan pressed his head, but saw Yun Nian glance at him.

"We can go slower on the way back and find the end of the scorpion ants. I don't believe they can cover the entire desert!"

It sounded like that. Langya continued to hold Yun Nian up. She sat lightly on his arms and did not bring him much pressure.

After reaching the top of the sand dune, there is another downward passage, but the difference is that here you can already see the shadow of the mummy lying on the ground.

The mummies looked as if they had lost control at the same time. They fell crookedly, one on top of the other, with their heads stuck in the sand. It was worrying whether they could catch their breath.

However, mummies should not be necessary.

The three of them walked quietly, slowly approaching their target. Perhaps because of the presence of the mummies, there was no sign of any border guards, and there was deathly silence everywhere.

"According to the route on the map, we will go around from the left. There will be a gap behind us. That was Ke Luo's food supply line. Now that they have used a lot of mummies, they don't need much food."

Zuo Mingyuan took out the map. They had already walked halfway, but the sun was still hot, as if it was not going to set.

"We are too conspicuous during the day, so we have to wait until night to act."

Yun Nian looked at the marked point, and a light seemed to flash in his eyes.

"For now, let's avoid those monsters for now, then find a nearby place to hide and wait until the sun goes down."

As she said this, Langya took her running across the desert at a brisk pace. He dodged the seemingly peaceful sand dunes, and the sand behind him suddenly sank after he passed by.

If Zuo Mingyuan came alone, he would certainly not be able to do it so quickly. Just judging the quicksand would take a lot of time.

"Here we are. How's this place?"

Langya gently put Yun Nian down. The dry and tangled thorns in front of them blocked their figures.

Yun Nian observed carefully and could just see the enemy's camp from here. Soldiers with weapons were patrolling lazily.

"right here."

She gestured to Zuo Mingyuan, and the three of them sat down beside the thorn bush, relaxing their tense bodies a little.

"Susu!"

A strange sound was heard, and at this moment a black shadow rushed towards Yun Nian.
