After exchanging beast mates, those crazy S-rank beasts are all vying to be my pets.

Chapter 50 Kidnapping
Bai Mingchen looked at her with a puzzled expression, "Ineffective?"

Sang Tian briefly recounted the events of the previous night to the five people.

"So it seems that your spiritual spring water can only heal external injuries, but cannot restore your spiritual power."

Qingzhi realized that Sang Tian's fatigue and drowsiness were most likely caused by excessive mental energy depletion.

Without access to the cloud, they cannot monitor the female's spiritual power.

"Excessive depletion of mental energy?" Qing Zhi's comment made Sang Tian realize that she had overlooked her mental energy. Now that she had superpowers, excessive consumption would indeed damage her mental energy.

"Well, don't use your powers until the mission is completed. You only experience these symptoms when your mental energy is severely depleted."

Sang Tian understood; it seemed her superpowers weren't extraordinary.

As darkness fell, a strong wind began to blow across the desert, whipping up sand that threatened to get into people's eyes.

Qingzhi was close by, and instinctively raised her hand to shield Sang Tian from the wind and sand.

"Wu Lanyuan was right after all." Bai Mingchen's lips curled into a cold smile as he narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. "A sandstorm is coming soon."

Sang Tian looked up and followed his gaze, only to see a shocking scene.

A massive cloud of rolling yellow sand swept toward them, the wind picked up and howled, and the air was thick with the fishy smell of fine sand mixed with sand.

The tent was swept away by the strong wind, and the sand and dust lashed against Sang Tian. A powerful force was pushing her backward, as if it were about to blow her away at any moment.

Li Su hugged her waist tightly, holding her close in his arms.

In this kind of weather, no one dares to speak; to speak would mean getting a mouthful of sand.

Just as Shen Jinxi finished taking precautions, the sandstorm quickly engulfed them.

Shen Jinxi wore goggles and a mask, but it did not affect her vision or speech at all.

"Xiao Xi, how did you know there would be a sandstorm? You even prepared everything in advance?!" Zuo Ya shouted, her voice drowned out by the wind.

Shen Jinxi couldn't hear what she said clearly; she couldn't see her lip movements through the mask, but she could vaguely tell that Zuo Ya was speaking.

She waved her hand, signaling Zuo Ya to stop talking to her.

Sang Tian also has these things in her space, but the sandstorm is too strong right now, and she doesn't even dare to open her eyes, let alone go to the cloud space to retrieve equipment.

Five beastmen formed a circle around Sang Tian, ​​protecting her in the center.

Sang Tian felt the wind lessen, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that she was surrounded. Her heart skipped a beat, and it would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved.

She didn't dare to delay and hurriedly summoned her spatial storage to retrieve the goggles and mask she had prepared.

Even after putting on the necessary gear, the sandstorm continued to grow stronger.

Without the cloud and due to the strong wind, the six could only rely on tacit understanding and eye contact to move.

Bai Mingchen raised his chin, indicating that he should continue walking forward.

Qingzhi shook her head in refusal, pointing to her heart as a hint for Bai Mingchen to read her thoughts.

"There might be A-level beasts ahead. If we advance rashly now, what about her?"

Bai Mingchen was worried. They were very close to Shen Jinxi now, and if they waited for the A-level alien beast to come to them, she might intercept it, and they were worried that they would become the passive party.

Both of them had their own concerns.

Sang Tian grabbed Bai Mingchen's wrist and pointed at herself like Qing Zhi did, "Is it my turn? Hurry up and read mine, hurry up and read mine."

Bai Mingchen nodded at her, a smile appearing in his eyes behind his goggles.

How long will this sandstorm last?

Bai Mingchen couldn't tell Sang Tian the result, as it usually took at least two hours, during which time they also had to be wary of the alien beasts. They were used to sandstorms and could even use this natural advantage to attack.

During a sandstorm, visibility is reduced to within five meters, providing the best opportunity for the alien beasts to attack.

Bai Mingchen placed his hand on the back of her neck, closing the distance between them, and leaned close to Sang Tian's ear.

His voice was moderate, not daring to be too loud, "At least an hour. Do you think we should move forward or rest where we are? Qingzhi said there might be an A-level alien beast waiting ahead, but Shen Jinxi is very close to us, and I'm worried she might do something underhanded."

The wind was very strong, and Sang Tian could barely hear it. For what she couldn't hear, she extracted keywords and guessed the meaning herself.

Even through the mask, she could clearly feel Bai Mingchen's lips moving, and felt warmth through the mask near his ear.

As he spoke, it was as if a feather had brushed against her heart, causing a tingling sensation deep within.

After Bai Mingchen finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and waited for Sang Tian's decision.

Sang Tian beckoned him to lower his head.

Bai Mingchen was charmed by her playful actions and leaned closer again.

"Keep going."

Sang Tian shared the same idea as Bai Mingchen: she didn't want to stand still. Taking advantage of the current obscurity and the fact that Shen Jinxi and the others couldn't see her, she decided to move to a different location. Perhaps that would be better than staying there, since she was just eating sand anyway.

After Sang Tian finished speaking, Bai Mingchen nodded in agreement and signaled the others to continue walking forward.

Sang Tian felt the hand on her waist tighten. She pressed her whole body against Li Su and touched his cold skin. A chill ran down her spine. Was this man trying to protect her or assassinate her?

Li Su felt the person in her arms trying to struggle and escape, so she reluctantly loosened her grip. The scene from just now kept replaying in her mind, and her lungs were filled with anger.

With someone blocking the wind in front, the road wasn't as difficult as Sang Tian had imagined.

After walking for nearly ten minutes, Bai Mingchen, who was at the front, stopped and stared at the figure in front of him.

The man turned around, revealing a black scorpion pattern on his left cheek. His eyes were completely black, with no whites, and his gaze was empty and fierce as he stared intently in the direction of Sang Tian and the others, showing no fear of the sandstorm.

Upon seeing the man, Bi Jingyan suddenly became agitated, pointing at him and asking in bewilderment, "I killed this man once!!!"

Everyone was taken aback, but quickly realized that Bi Jingyan had thrown a tantrum on the first night and only returned in the latter half of the night, so he must have gone out to kill the alien beasts to vent his anger in the first half of the night.

"Then why didn't you say earlier that there was an A-level alien beast?" Sang Tian asked him at the top of her lungs.

"I did not notice."

Sang Tian was speechless. Thinking about it, this man really had a bad temper. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had done something wrong to make him so angry.

Bai Mingchen looked at Wu Lanyuan, signaling him to join him, while the other three stayed behind to protect Sang Tian.

Wu Lanyuan agreed, but Bi Jingyan disagreed and insisted on going along, determined to kill the other party again.

So the three of them rushed forward, exchanged glances, and had a feeling that whoever grabbed it first would be the winner.

Upon receiving a notification from the system, Shen Jinxi knew that Sang Tian and the others had begun their operation, and she quickened her pace.

The others didn't understand what she was trying to do, so they could only grit their teeth and follow along.

Shen Jinxi walked up to Bai Jie and came close to her, but their posture was completely different from that of Sang Tian and Bai Mingchen. They looked more like masters giving secret orders.

"You know how to dig tunnels, go and take Sang Tian to the location of the quicksand."

Shen Jinxi revealed the location of Sang Tian and Liu Sha, intending to use Bai Jie's special ability to take them away.

She doesn't need Sang Tian's life right now; what she wants is to lure the beast away from its lair, so that once Bai Mingchen and the others have weakened the monster to the point of near death, she can go and reap the benefits.
