It was life force; it seemed they had found the right target. Sang Qingxiao reassured, "Just a little bit, nothing more."
Old Vine whispered anxiously, "Are you sure? You know my situation; it's the most precious thing I have and cannot be wasted. If not, I won't go in. I'll wait for you outside, keeping my distance."
"Don't you have a familiarity with that thing? Don't you want to see what it is with your own eyes?"
"Surely it's not anything good! Nothing can compare to my body!"
Sang Qingxiao let him be and continued on.
When she reached Dune, she stopped in her tracks.
There was a formation!
Sang Qingxiao swept her foot across the edge of the sand, revealing a dry, cracked ground beneath a thin layer of sand.
Bending down for a closer look, she spotted a thin black line. She knew that this was the color of blood that had been exposed to air for an extended period.
The others helped to clear away sand on both sides, sweeping several hundred meters in each direction. They roughly determined that this line drawn with blood followed the edge of Dune and extended inward with additional lines.
It was definitely not anything good; that thing used it to siphon life force.
Sang Qingxiao picked up another handful of sand and examined it closely; it was ordinary sand used to cover these lines.
Qi Xiaomian also held a handful in his hand; it was sand from the Desert, which could not possibly come from the south. Moving so much from the northwest would not be easy.
Perhaps their opponent had a spatial device, or maybe they were a mage skilled in spatial techniques—spatial techniques were indeed a godsend for escape, so they needed to be cautious.
Li Cu said unhappily, "Xiaoxiao, I feel like my life force is being drained even more. Once we kill it, will my life force return?"
"It will."
"Then does that mean the further we go in, the more it gets drained?"
"Don't worry."
In the blink of an eye, Sang Qingxiao had already covered them with runes but intentionally left a gap to give it a little taste, just in case they startled it into fleeing.
"We're already here! What does it matter if we startle it?"
To prevent it from escaping and taking away the secrets of this place as well.
Sang Qingxiao led the way while calculating the formation beneath the sand. If all went well, that thing should be located within the formation; even if they couldn't find its physical form afterward, the secrets of Dune would surely lie within the formation.
The scenery in Dune was surprisingly similar to that of the Desert; the sun in the sky did not resemble that of the south either. Its scorching heat was visible to the naked eye, surrounded by a halo of fire as if it were burning itself.
The sun over the Desert was just as harsh, casting a panoramic view that was truly grand. Qi Xiaomian's face grew serious. Sang Qingxiao glanced over, feeling that he seemed overly earnest; it appeared that he had his own purpose for this journey.
There were hardly any pedestrians along the way. After all, who would choose to tread on this dangerous Dune when there were more pleasant sights to enjoy in the south? It wasn't exactly a complete panoramic view either, as they didn't see the unique flora and fauna of the Desert.
Qi Xiaomian remained silent, deep in thought. At that moment, Xiao Ye made a couple of sounds and wriggled his body. Misha, being observant, quickly picked up on what he meant.
The Silly Beast was nearby. Which direction? East. Yet they still needed to continue heading south through the formation.
