"Bang", an extremely faint sound of landing sounded, and wearing a black cloak, a short half-length emerged from the shadow.

Marca Jaylen, who was half kneeling on the ground, looked up at the faint starlight, and stabbed into the sand like a knife, grabbed a handful of fine sand from the lower layer, gently twisted it at the tip of her fingers until the fine sand fell, and put his fingers under his nose and smelled it. Then he frowned and shook his cloak, and escaped into the shadow again.

"Sand, sand, sand." The monotonous footsteps make people drowsy.

Under the night, the desert was empty, with only a group of eight people trekking forward in this deserted lonely world.

The temperature was getting colder and colder, and water dripped into ice. The boots slashed on the sand, making a creaking sound. The cold wind was cold and squeaked, wrapped in fine sand and dust. The whip whipped the face and body. The cold wind and sand ruthlessly penetrated into the collar and hem, like a knife, cutting repeatedly on the skin.

No one spoke, the team was moving forward in silence, and even the dwarf who made a living by complaining closed his mouth. The power of the sandstorm was obvious to all. Mobak dared not make any sound now. If it interfered with Saff's hearing, it would be impossible to detect the second round of sandstorms that could appear at any time in time, it would be a death-free redeem.

A half footprint suddenly appeared out of thin air on the sand, and then the figure of the half-hearted man and the darkness were recognized.

"Boss." Marca Jaylen lowered her voice and said, "I have seen all three directions, all the same."

Keeping the speed unchanged, Shuer leaned over and grabbed a handful of fine sand in his hand. The fine sand on his palm was no longer golden in the daytime, but turned black and as dark as ink.

Since leaving the secret room and returning to the ground, everyone has actually discovered that the yellow sand on the ground has turned into black sand. No wonder the sandstorm seen in the eyes of the mage is black. It turns out that it is not an illusion.

Originally, everyone was considering whether this black sand would be blown from a distance with a sandstorm, but after walking for five hours and a hundred kilometers in a row, the unchanging black sand was always under his feet. Soul asked Makajren to explore in three directions. Unexpectedly, the result was exactly the same.

"Are they all black?" Shuer said thoughtfully, "There is only one possibility. This is the yellow sand we stepped on during the day. I don't know the principle, but it turns black at night. Moreover, this black sand gives me the feeling...Militi, look."

"It does feel like the sand of souls." The low temperature made the necromancer tighten his clothes, "No wonder there are so many wild necromancers here."

Soul Sand is a special specialty of Pavatiga. Its appearance is pure black fine sand, and it is relatively rare in a dark place where it is illuminated for no more than 200 hours a year. They are filled with dark energy inside, and are excellent undead magic spell casting materials, which are very expensive.

The biggest characteristic of Soul Sand is the affinity of the undead. Where there is Soul Sand, wild undead can be easily born. People believe that Soul Sand awakens the dead. This is of course a wrong conclusion. The undead mages can clearly say that Soul Sand does not have the function of awakening the dead, but it can indeed make it very simple to awaken the undead.

"You try?" Shuer pointed to the sand on the ground.

"I tried it just now. It does have the characteristics of Soul Sand, but it cannot be manipulated by humans and cannot be used as spell casting materials."

"That's a pity."

What a pity. If it could replace the real soul sand, it would be fine to dig dozens or hundreds of kilograms of sand before leaving, and everyone would just sit at home and count the money for the rest of their lives. There was no need to take risks again. It seemed that fate was cruel and would not fall out of thin air. Such a great benefit would be.

"It's yellow sand during the day, and it turns into black sand at night. There's such a strange sand." Shul said with a smile, "Sand that changes color, outrageous strong wind, undead who can fly with the wind, and a mysterious heart of water. This projection in another world is really interesting. I don't know what else is waiting for us."

"Boss, I know." Marca Jaylen said in a low voice, "When I went out to investigate just now, I discovered something strange."

"Well, valuable?"

"It's hard to say." The halfling thought for a while and shook his head, "It's quite valuable, it's a bone."

"That's very interesting." Having bones means having creatures, no, it means having creatures once, from which you can find many problems, and it does have the value of wasting time for it, "Sav."

"A little over a quarter, less than one third." The shy female swordsman whispered with her head down, "Our progress has exceeded expectations. According to the current progress, we can reach the first departure point in three days."

The team was indeed very fast. I was lucky tonight. I didn’t encounter a terrible sandstorm again, nor did I see anything other than black sand. I had been trekking for more than five hours, and I didn’t even stop and rest. This was the current progress.

"Time, Marca Jaylen."

"It's three o'clock in the morning of Pavatiga." The halfling paused and continued, "The night time here is about the same as Pavatiga. The length of the night cannot be determined, but from the perspective of the sun measured in the afternoon, there should be little difference."

"It's almost dawn." Shuer knew that there was no need to make everyone so tired on the first day, so he simply made a decision, "Let's lead the way, let's go over and see what you mentioned, and then camp and rest there, and walk the rest of the road tonight."

"Hu", the person who secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart was Kelly, and it didn't matter to everyone else. With everyone's physique, this level of trekking is nothing, just over a hundred kilometers, but since Kelly took the initiative to get off from Moria behind her, she felt that her feet were almost worn out, especially walking on the soft sand, and even following the speed of others, she needed to do her best to achieve it.

It is difficult to locate reference objects in the desert. Everyone got lost without surprise. It took a long time to find the discovery objects, but this is just a small episode. It’s good to find it in the end, and the process is not important.

When I got closer, I realized that no wonder Makajren thought it was quite valuable. It was not just an ordinary bone, but a giant bone. Three white and round bones were curved towards the sky, and the top of the bones were pointed, so they could be used as spears.

Without getting closer, Shuer made a few gestures and his teammates responded with thumbs up.

As the formation changed, Mobak stood in front alone, stopped step by step, slowly approaching below the bone, and the others scattered in fan shape and followed behind, Sav and Makajren on both sides, and the others were in the middle, always keeping five meters away from him, which is the best reaction distance.

But obviously I was overthinking. I walked to the bottom of the bones without any signs of any change. Moreover, everyone's sensing was normal, which means that this should be safe.

"This is a rib." Standing beside the bone, Shuer tried hard to raise his head, revealing the ground was eight meters high, and then the part buried under the sand was just a rib, the size of this creature when he was alive...

"Moriya, send me up." Shur suddenly rushed towards Morriya, leveraged the force on her raised arm, flexibly jumped high, landed lightly on the top of the ribs, and stepped steadily at the tip of the bone.

As soon as he got up, Shuer was obviously stunned for a moment, thought without saying a word, and then slid down his ribs, the expression on his face was indescribable.

"The information is not collected completely, Makajren." Shur shook his head with a smile, "Let's go, come with me, there's something more interesting over there."

"Boss, I'm here to check the Black Sand, not to collect information. Okay, okay, I know I'm wrong, I really just looked from a distance and didn't collect information in full." Knowing that I was in a disadvantage, Marca Jaylen just muttered a few words casually, and was kicked by Mobak in the back and followed Shuer's footsteps.

It is indeed more interesting here, because after walking hundreds of meters and bypassing a sand dune, what everyone sees is an obvious artificial building, yes, it is five houses.

The shapes of black houses are all four-sided cones. I don’t know how big it is, because most of them are buried under the sand, with only the conical top exposed to the sand surface about three meters. However, judging from the distance between the tips of the cone, the side length of each house should not exceed thirty meters.

Looking at the five strange houses from afar, Shuer slowly paced with his eyes closed, hesitated for a while, and suddenly opened his eyes: "Kelly, choose one, don't ask why, choose one."

"Ah?" The female priest who had always been calm and had no emotional ups and downs actually showed a look of surprise and looked at Shul blankly.

"Pick whatever you want, hurry."

"Then...just this." Kelly pointed to the building closest to everyone.

"Very good, everyone, the alert level is raised to four, and I'm ready to start checking the buildings." Shur shouted, "From the integrity, it is obvious that these buildings can withstand sandstorms, and the main body should be ten meters below the sand surface, and find a way to enter the interior. If it is feasible, I'll rest here during the day and search nearby."

"Moriya, Mia, you two stay here with Kelly to help, wait, the candidates change, Saf and Morriya stay, Mia, follow in. It's still the same, you two watch and listen to each other, once you find signs of sandstorms, immediately enter the building to hide."

"clear."

"Start preparation, take action after thirty seconds." Check the combat supplies on your body to ensure that all equipment is in the best condition.

"There is no entrance, Mobak is preparing to force the wall to break. Mia, is there any way to temporarily prevent the sand from entering after the wall is broken, but can people outside come in?"

"It's easy, but it only lasts for two hours."

"Enough, prepare the spell."

"Boss, there is no need to break the wall. I can see that there is a secret door at the top, which should be a reserved emergency passage."
