Aru Village does have some specialties, such as desert scorpions, which have delicious meat and one is bigger than Paimeng.

Dolly said that if it could be cultivated, it might be a good idea.

Candice said that many people in Aru Village have tried to breed desert scorpions, but they simply cannot keep them alive.

Xiangling wanted to bring some desert specialties back to Liyue and let the villagers taste the exotic food.

At the entrance of the village, several people were arguing.

The thin middle-aged man: "You have already promised me, how can you promise others?"

The tall and burly man said: "I've already said that going to Fontaine is on the way. We have two people, so it's no problem even if we protect both of you separately."

Candice: "There seems to be some disagreement, everyone."

"Candice, you came at the right time. The mercenaries in your Aru Village have no sense of contract..." said the middle-aged man.

Candice: "Mr. Nachtigal is going to Fontaine, and my friends are also going to Fontaine, so why not go together.

Let me introduce you to Mr. Lingkong, the adventurer from Liyue, and Ms. Xiangling, the cook. This is Boss Dolly.

Mr. Gabriel is one of the founders of the Gilded Brigade, the largest mercenary group in Xumi. This is his daughter, Miss Jade. Both of them are also senior mercenaries in Aru Village.

And this is Mr. Tirzad, the archaeological expert."

Lingkong: "The Gilded Brigade, I know, I've fought with them, nice to meet you, Mr. Gabriel."

Gabriel: "Young adventurer, the desert is not a nice place."

Nachtigal: "If you guys can protect me, I won't hire them."

Lingkong: "It just so happens that Boss Dolly also wants to go to Fontaine, so you two can go together."

"I heard that you Liyue people all know martial arts." Jade is a tall girl with healthy-looking wheat-colored skin and big, bright eyes.

Lingkong: "Who said that? How can you believe such a rumor?"

Jade: "You must be good at martial arts."

Lingkong: "What's the difference between martial arts and no martial arts? Jianghu can't just be about fighting and killing. We also need to be considerate of human relationships. Violence can't solve problems."

Xiangling was speechless. What the hell was this? Was this human language? After downloading the voice translation system using the Dream Seed, Xiangling could roughly understand what they were saying.

Jade: “That seems to make sense.”

Tirzad: "Let's go. It's better if we have so many people. The more people we have, the less likely the bandits will dare to rob us."

"Don't be in a hurry, go into my Chen Ge Pot first, and I'll lead you for a while." Lingkong took them to the bandit's lair where they had been last time.

There are no more bandits here, only some corpses buried in the yellow sand.

Lingkong: "I remember this is also a mausoleum, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Tirzad: "We have already checked this place, and there is nothing to see. Let me look at the map. We should be at this location. We need to go in this direction to get to the destination. Once we get here, we will save a lot of distance."

Gabriel: "This direction will lead us through a belt of quicksand, which is very dangerous."

Tirzad: "This is the shortest way. Don't tell me you are afraid of danger."

Gabriel: “I’m worried about your life.”

Tirzad: "So why did I hire you? Just to protect me?"

Nachtigal: "This direction is still on the way to Fontaine."

Lingkong: "It seems we can still travel together for a while longer."

When walking in the desert, the most important things are sun protection and water.

The local desert people apply a special sunscreen that feels cool when applied to the skin.

Lingkong gave it a five-star rating. Xiangling had originally regretted following Lingkong into the desert, but after applying sunscreen, she felt much better.

Lingkong: "Everyone be careful, there seems to be something under the desert."

A huge insect opened its bloody mouth and came towards everyone to bite.

A sword energy came from the air and cut it in two.

Gabriel: "It's a sandworm. Let's go quickly. The dead sandworm will attract other sandworms nearby."

The crowd walked quickly for a while.

Tirzad panted and said, "I am so tired. You can't even deal with sandworms. What's the use of you?"

Nachtigal and Dolly both have camel mounts, which can be said to be the easiest.

But Tirzad didn't have it, he couldn't afford it.

Gabriel: "We don't fight monsters like sandworms if we don't have to. It's pointless and a waste of time."

Lingkong: "We have run so far, we are out of the hunting range of the sandworms."

Jade: "Who killed the sandworm? Was it you?"

Lingkong: "Xiangling, my chef friend in Liyue, is good at turning various creatures into ingredients. Sandworms are also an ingredient."

Xiangling said: "Hey, don't flatter me. I really don't know how to eat sandworms."

Jade doubted whether that thing was really edible and said she would hunt one down to try it when she had the chance.

Tirzad: "What's going on? The ground is sinking."

Jade: "It's quicksand!"

The quicksand quickly submerged everyone's shoes, and everyone fell into a huge pit.

Because there was soft sand underneath, no one was injured.

Tirzad: "Now we've fallen in, how are we going to get out?"

The huge pit was more than ten meters deep, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Unless they could fly up, they would be trapped in a desperate situation if they fell into it.

Gabriel: "I have long said that walking in a straight line is dangerous."

Tirzad: "I'm so pissed off. It's useless."

Lingkong: "Who dug a trap here? It's so wicked."

Xiangling: "Who would dig such a big trap? There's a big hole there."

Lingkong: "Let's go in and take a look? Maybe we can get out from here."

Tiergard: "There is no telling what danger lies within."

Nachtigal: “It seems we have no other choice.”

Lingkong took the lead and entered the cave first. He had a mining lamp in his hand, and the dark cave became much brighter.

The cave is cold and damp, and there are various small animals such as lizards and frogs.

The long cave seemed to have no end. Several girls felt a little uncomfortable and started to find topics to talk about.

Finally, they reached the end of the mine, where a stone gate stood before them.

Jade: "Archaeologist, do you know where this place is?"

Tirzad: "I can't tell. We'll know once we get in. The mechanism here should be like this."

With Tirza's operation, the door slowly opened.

Lingkong: "Great, tomb robbing has suddenly begun."

Xiangling: "Not at all."

Dolly's eyes lit up: "It can't be an ancient tomb. If it is an ancient tomb, there must be antiques. I want to personally identify the cultural relics in it."

The energy lamp suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire building space. The first thing everyone saw was the huge statue.

Tirzad: "It's a jackal. People in ancient times believed that jackals were mythical animals that guarded tombs, and jackal statues could deter tomb robbers."

The triangular machine was suspended in mid-air, and after a series of complex operations, it began to accumulate power.

Tirzad got closer to observe: "Could this be an energy construct from ancient times? It's still usable. This is very rare."

"Be careful." Lingkong grabbed it.

A laser passed by and tore a hole in Tirzadede's clothes.
