Chapter 1016 Exterminating Sandworms
Yunxi's intrusion caused the men and women besieging the giant earth dragon to instinctively take a step back, but they still gripped their weapons.

The giant earth dragon also noticed Yunxi on its body and felt threatened. It then did a 360-degree turn, trying to crush Yunxi under itself, which drew gasps from the surrounding crowd.

At this moment, Yunxi, who was standing on the giant earth dragon, did not fall off because the dragon flipped over. Instead, she saw the dragon's skin covered with needle-like spikes and felt its deep malice. Without hesitation, she swung her stick.

Thanks to Yun Xi's efforts, six stars of the Seven Star Deadly Staff have been lit up. Even without the support of its master, its destructive power is first-rate. So when Yun Xi's staff fell, the Ice Soul Pearl automatically exerted its power, freezing the fine needles on the surface of the giant earth dragon. A thin layer of ice instantly covered the writhing earth dragon.

The area struck by the Seven Star Deadly Staff instantly collapsed, accompanied by a "rustling" sound. The giant earth dragon twisted into a concave shape, with half of its body sinking into the sand.

Yunxi used the force of the attack to leap up, flipped in mid-air, and landed on the head of the giant earth dragon again, followed by the second blow.

This attack was fueled by the weight of the Death Staff itself and the strength of Yunxi. The Yao Guang Star on the staff also flickered, secretly sending a burst of heavenly lightning power into the head of the giant earth dragon. The earth dragon trembled uncontrollably twice, and then began to desperately burrow into the sand, clearly trying to escape.

Yunxi naturally wouldn't agree. She wanted to use the killing of this giant earth dragon to make contact with the local natives, and she couldn't let them get away.

So she used the Seven Star Deadly Staff to lift the earth dragon into the air, then aimed carefully and, as the giant earth dragon fell, swung the Deadly Staff directly, shooting it into its open mouth, piercing its body, and flying out from its tail.

With a loud "thud," the giant earth dragon crashed straight onto the sand, raising a cloud of dust. Its body twitched twice and then lay still.

Yunxi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Menglanjun, who had watched the whole thing, had already dragged the Seven Star Deadly Staff that Yunxi had shot over. Yes, he dragged it over because he couldn't lift it at all. In the end, Yunxi took the initiative to go over and catch the Seven Star Deadly Staff with one hand, and then put it back into her storage bracelet.

At this moment, a man and a woman stepped out from among the people who had previously besieged the giant earth dragon. They went straight to Yun Xi and politely asked:

"Gentlemen, did you come here from the heart of the Green Desert?"

Yunxi nodded and said:

"Yes, but we seem to be lost. We can't seem to find our way out of the desert. We heard some noise here, so we came to check it out. We didn't expect you to be hunting."

She didn't know what to call the giant earth dragon, and afraid of saying the wrong thing and arousing suspicion, so she paused and pointed to the giant earth dragon, which had stopped moving.

The woman then replied:

"These are sandworms, a unique insect species found only in the Green Desert. Every part of them is valuable. We only dare to hunt one or two on the outskirts when they enter their dormant period."

The sand worms in the heart of the desert are more numerous and stronger. You were able to emerge safely from there because you happened to encounter them during their dormant period; otherwise, you would never have met us.

Yunxi had already learned about the giant earth dragon in front of her from their conversation, so she said:
"It seems my friend and I are quite lucky. Since I helped kill this sand worm, could you please take us away from here?"

The man and woman exchanged a glance, seemingly reaching an agreement, and then looked at Yunxi and said:

"Okay, but you must follow instructions and not drag the team down. The Green Desert is full of dangers and can kill you at any time."

"it is good."

Yunxi readily agreed, and then she saw the two of them instructing their subordinates to begin dissecting the slain sandworm. Menglanjun pretended to be very interested and watched the entire process of disposing of the sandworm's corpse.

Yunxi then went to try and get information out of the woman leading the team:
"I wonder what your name is?"

The woman replied with a smile:

“My name is Shui Yuntan, and yours is…” “You can just call me Ranxi. That’s my friend Lan Jun.”

Shui Yuntan said with certainty:

"You are from another world. We haven't seen any people from other worlds here for a long time."

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and said:
How did the water leader determine that we were from another world?

“You can tell from your clothing, attack methods, and combat strength.”

Yunxi did not deny it; she continued to ask:

"You mean there were other people like us who came here before? How did they leave?"

Shui Yuntan looked at Yunxi and said:

"Yes, but that was a long time ago, before I was even born. But according to my ancestors, none of these people were able to leave this place. They all ended up staying in the Shatuo Kingdom and joined the royal family to serve the royal family."

Yunxi raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any further questions.

After the sandworms were decomposed, Shui Yuntan led her team back. They all had their own means of transportation, which were Bactrian camels, but the other party was clearly wary of the two of them and did not offer them any transportation.

Meng Lanjun was a little angry. It was Ranxi who killed the sand worms. These people took advantage of the situation, but they were not even willing to give up a camel. He was going to ask them to give him one, but Yunxi stopped him.

"Lan Jun, there's no need to waste your abilities on this. Let's leave first. There's no need to expose your strength when we haven't figured things out yet."

Meng Lanjun then solemnly agreed.

A moment later, Shui Yuntan brought food to the two of them and offered to explain:
"Ranxi, camels are a very important asset for us. We are not very familiar with each other, so we dare not lend them to you easily. Please forgive us. However, we will try to slow down our pace so that you can keep up."

Yunxi took the food, merely curtsied, indicating that she understood and wouldn't insist.

After Shui Yuntan left, Yunxi put the food into her storage bracelet, not intending to eat it, while Menglanjun's eyes, hidden under her veil, flashed with a sharp light.

Then Shui Yuntan and the male leader waved to signal the start, while Yunxi and Menglanjun lagged behind at the back of the group, following at a leisurely pace and never falling behind.

After walking for half a day, the group set up camp to rest for the night and set off again early the next morning.

This time, Yunxi borrowed a tent from Shuiyuntan. The two of them casually chose a spot far away from the main group, set up the tent, and rested.

In the middle of the night, Meng Lanjun quietly left the tent and returned to see Yunxi a quarter of an hour later with a gloomy expression.

"Ranxi, they have ill intentions and want to sell us out. Should we still go with them?"

Yunxi, who had been feigning sleep, suddenly opened her eyes and asked in a deep voice:

"Lan Jun, what have you found out?"
