"The Vast Flame Sand", "Endless Hell", "Curse Yellow Sand", these different names describe the place of despair behind the endless snow-capped mountains.
This area that Vanessa has set foot on and traversed has various legends in the mouths of adventurers, such as the scorching air waves that swallow up all adventurers, unknown monsters hidden under the sand, and desperate situations that cannot be effectively located through magic. Each one of them adds a color of mystery and death to this desert.
Since the beginning of history, adventurers who wanted to explore the end of the desert have made several attempts, but eventually disappeared into the desert, making subsequent people gradually recognize the idea that the desert is a place of death.
But since Vanessa was able to travel through the desert easily and turn back again, it is enough to prove that this area is far from as scary as described. It is more likely that the people trying to cross the desert here are too weak.
The continent where Yas is located is relatively poor in magic power, and its magic power inheritance is not comparable to that of a prosperous continent. After all, the old Goblin King used a gold rating, that is, a fifth-level level, to make surrounding countries fearful of the underground palace. , dare not be too aggressive, which is unimaginable in Kolai, Porges, Mostana, and Mela.
How much magic can be created in an area with a maximum level of fifth level? You must know that the magic power loss of throwing fireballs all the way starts at level six.
Before officially crossing the snow-capped mountains and entering the vast scorching sand, Lu Yu visited the Kingdom of Yas.
He came to the slave black market where Sigrid had been redeemed, and used a silver coin to get the information he wanted from a slave trader.
"When our slave caravan passed through the forest, we saw many black, wriggling strips. The slime traces they left on the ground were extremely conspicuous." The slave merchant showed his arms and gestured, "Probably bigger than me. His arms were a little thicker, but I didn’t know what it was, so I reported it to the Adventurers Association.”
The forest land mentioned by the slave merchant surprised Lu Yu and Lu Lu. Following the instructions, they actually returned to the dense forest where Lu Yu had just come to this world.
Olga and the others had been farming together with the white wolves in this dense forest for a long time. When they returned again, Lu Yu could still see the traces they had left.
The unattended acres have become overgrown with weeds, and the once-excavated basement has become the residence of monsters. They bared their teeth and made low threatening sounds, their fur stood up on their bodies, and they had already assumed an attack posture, looking eager to try.
"Quiet." Lu Lu stretched out three tentacles, and three fireballs floated next to the briquettes, spinning like satellites.
The sudden burst of magic made these monsters with keen senses tremble. Their ferocious eyes became clear and clear in an instant, and their anger disappeared. They retreated obediently one by one, and finally even lay on the ground like puppies, letting out a slight " "Woo" sound.
Sometimes I really feel that monsters know how to judge the situation better than humans.
The tree hole where Lu Yu met was occupied by a group of squirrels. The leader of this group of squirrels had a pair of extremely fluffy and huge tails. According to Sera's perception, the squirrel king's magic-casting organ was the tail.
"If I remember correctly... we ate a lot of squirrels' winter food at that time?" Lu Yu remembered something.
Lulu added: "I also ate a lot of squirrels. Although they are very firewood, they are very few meats when I don't meet the white wolf."
Discussing the quality of their meat in front of a group of squirrels huddled in a tree hole for the winter was a bit hellish. The squirrel king, who had obviously awakened some wisdom, became uneasy and clenched his sharp little claws tightly on a piece of dead wood.
He was very nervous.
Considering that his fate with the squirrel family has never been severed from Yas to Mela, first the ordinary squirrel, then the little Niba entrusted by Roye, and finally the kitten girl, Lu Yu saw this group of people panicking because of his unexpected intrusion. The restless squirrel felt ripples in his heart.

The message Lu Yu left for White Wolf in the tree hole is still there - Lu Lu turned into a briquette and his own little portrait.
With Lulu's tentacles waving, another rabbit head appeared on the portrait. Finally, Lulu packed the three portraits and drew a circle.
"That's it. Just pretend that Sera was with us at that time."
Sera was about to say something when she suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from outside the tree hole. She thought it was some monster passing by, but the sound of a sticky object rubbing against the leaves stunned the three of them.
The moment the briquettes floated out of the tree hole, a slug-like black strip pupated quickly. It was so fast that it escaped from the briquettes' sight like a flash in a few seconds.
"Planaria!" Lu Yu shouted in surprise.
Lu Yu's call did not stop the planarian, but seemed to stimulate it, and the slippery soft snot accelerated again.
"What kind of strange reaction is this? Shouldn't you be their master?" Sera asked curiously.
Lu Yu was also confused, but his top priority was to chase after the planarian.
I don’t know how long it took, but the winding traces left on the snow disappeared in front of a cave. Sera released two light balls, which together with Lu Lu’s fire balls formed a wonderful celestial structure - Lu Yu I really didn’t expect to be able to play like this.
The cave is very deep. After entering a certain distance, the ground here becomes moist and sticky, and puddles of translucent gelatinous liquid are all over the rock wall. I smear some with my tentacles. It really feels like snot, which makes Sai La shook her hands in disgust.
Suddenly, the weak reflection made Coal Ball stop in surprise. To be honest, even Lu Yu, who had been dealing with various strange summons all year round, was startled at this moment.
A huge ball of translucent slime hangs at the top of the cave. Black planarians are intertwined and overlapped. Under the light, their eyes reflect a faint red light. The dense red dots make this scene... Added a bit of weirdness.
The "amniotic fluid" suddenly broke, and just when Coal Ball thought that the planarians would break into pieces and fall to the ground, he was shocked to find...the group of planarians were not entangled with each other, because the visual error caused by the refraction of light made him make an error. Judgment...they are a whole!
The planarians that are completely integrated into one are like another self in the world of coal briquettes. They have multiple heads, a large number of hands that are so small that they are almost impossible to detect without careful observation, and their smooth body surfaces constantly secrete sticky liquid to moisturize the skin. The planarian ball that woke up looked like a ball of weeds that started to move with countless legs. It looked indescribably weird.
Lu Yu felt obvious hostility, and magic power began to condense on the planarians.
The communication was ineffective, which made Lu Yu confused.
"Summon the chariot of flesh and blood."
Sera's assist woke up Lu Yu, whose head had not turned around. As the summoning ceremony began, the planarians became visibly violent, just when those whip-like tentacles were about to surge out of the body. , the flesh and blood chariot landed.
The buzz of the whistle resounded through the cave, and the planarian group that had been in an offensive posture a second ago froze instantly, staring at the tentacles of the flesh and blood chariot that kept swinging.
As if doubting its own eyes, the planarian group stretched out a mastermind and moved it close to the flesh and blood chariot. After taking a closer look, it received a blessing from the "God of Wisdom".
"puff".
The tentacles of the flesh and blood chariot rolled the planarians, and Lu Yu even saw their bodies dent heavily at the moment of impact.
"It's passed, don't be so harsh!" Lu Yu quickly reminded.
The flesh-and-blood chariot looked at his tentacles with eyes like gas lights, and shook them doubtfully, as if to say: "This is not heavy at all."
The planarian dumplings hit the rock wall, each head showing a not very smart look. They quickly climbed up, then placed their heads on the ground, and worshiped one by one in a very anthropomorphic manner.
Lu Yu, who had confirmed that he could not communicate with the planarians, asked Flesh Chariot to act as a translator with the attitude of giving it a try. Sure enough, Flesh Chariot, who had already been in contact with the planarians, easily understood what they meant.
The planarians who were scolded by their own God of Wisdom for blaspheming the "Lord" did not even dare to raise their heads. The mucus originally used to lubricate the body was flowing out for free, like a leaking pipe.
In panic, Planaria tremblingly told them that only the patriarch had met the "Lord" by chance, and they could not understand the patriarch's description of the Lord... Moreover, being chased just now reminded them of being hunted by a group of terrifying and savage tribesmen. , so he took this step to protect himself.
During the transmission of the flesh and blood chariot, Lu Yu discovered that the group of planarians were about to cry.
The life of the planarians was not good. The underground palace they lived in collapsed and they escaped and were forced to adapt to life on the surface. They had not yet completed their accumulation and were quickly treated as experience babies by various monsters.
Although the planarians gradually awakened some power during this process and were able to fight on par with ordinary monsters, and seemed to have a tendency to quickly surpass them, they still seemed a bit weak compared to races that had truly mastered wisdom.
After the people who witnessed the planarians brought the news back to the country, the adventurers took action against them. After hearing in the capital of Yas that the slime balls of the planarians could be used as medicine, he felt something was not good.
The numerical disadvantage of the planarian group gradually emerged. In order to protect themselves, they had to live dispersedly. The planarians living in higher-risk areas even imitated the "God of Wisdom" and spliced all their bodies together to possess A stronger body to cope with various challenges.
Lu Yu lost his temper after hearing this, and he only felt helpless and sympathetic.
Sensing Lu Yu's emotional changes, Flesh Chariot also took the initiative to reach out and touch these extremely aggrieved believers.
"Ask them, is this form permanent or temporary?"
Just after Flesh Chariot finished asking, the planarians spewed out a large amount of mucus again, and the connected bodies were slowly peeled off one by one. After a while, the planarians that were originally crowded together turned into separate individuals again. This Lu Yu was amazed by the picture.
Under the leadership of this group of planarians, Lu Yu was able to see the planarians hiding in other areas. The planarians were so happy to see the God of Wisdom and the Lord coming that they actually killed their own heads in front of Lu Yu. Cut it down.
Literally chop it, and then the new head controls the body, using its thin and short hands to hold up the old head.
Some planarians, with the help of their companions, cut off the strongest middle part of their body, keeping it active and sending it to the flesh and blood chariot.
The three of them were a little dizzy. Flesh Chariot was a little confused when he saw that the planarian leader was even taking the lead in doing this. He had to take the initiative to extend his tentacles to stop the planarian leader from "coming to see him".
This eye-opening sacrificial activity for Coal Balls was interrupted early due to the stop of the flesh and blood chariot, but the planarians looked disappointed, as if they were secretly sad that they could not offer more sacrifices.
Lu Yu clearly sensed the psychological fluctuations of the flesh and blood chariot - he was not interested in eating slime dumplings, but he could only eat them because the planarians were looking at him expectantly, as if he could be eaten by the God of Wisdom. What a supreme honor.
Cheche, whose consciousness gradually became complete, also learned how to treat these children who worshiped him devoutly, at least not to embarrass them who tried their best to express their faith, so... he struggled to send the bodies of several planarians into the original In the drill bit that stirs flesh and blood.
The taste is so weird!
Sera counted the number, and found that the planaria group now only has 572 members. For a group that can complete the dual reproduction methods of asexual and fission reproduction like the Mugu people, this number is undoubtedly very small.
Hearing the disappointment conveyed by the "Lord" in the flesh and blood chariot, the planarians lowered their heads again.
"Very hungry..."
This is the reaction of the chariot of flesh and blood.
The planarians have not been able to have a full meal for a long, long time. Ever since they were captured by adventurers as medicinal materials, they have been hiding. This kind of fearful life has passed for a long time, and the planarians, who are increasingly lacking in energy, simply cannot It is unable to reproduce effectively, let alone improve its own body and complete its evolution.
Lu Yu sighed, and the planarians trembled.
Lu Yu did have the idea of bringing the planarians back to the Dawn Territory, but then he gave up the idea. He wanted to know how this group of people who believed in his summons and regarded themselves as their "lord" were outside the Dawn Territory. , what kind of path can be taken.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. If you want others to stop coveting you, the easiest way is to make them pay a greater price. Considering that it will still take some time for the planarians to become stronger, Lu Yu asked distressedly how to start. Do Lu and Sera have magic or skills suitable for planarians to use?
As long as they are given a taste of fear in the next adventurer attack, the number of people who dare to attack planarians in the future will inevitably decrease significantly.
"How about we change our thinking?" Lulu suddenly suggested.
"Change your thinking?"
Lulu suddenly shook his tentacles and said with a naughty smile: "Do you think I look like a planarian dumpling now, do I?"
Lu Yu suddenly realized.
Isn’t it natural that the owner of a planarian looks similar to a planarian?
