The beloved baby has a space

The land of yellow sand was also known as the land of death. It was said to be fifty or sixty miles long, but with good luck, one could cross it in a day. The children were already traveling and studying, and they were accompanied by many people with high martial arts skills, so naturally they were both skilled and daring.

Unexpectedly, the distance inside was much greater than fifty or sixty miles. The group traveled for ten days and ten nights without seeing a single person. Fortunately, their carriage was large enough to carry enough food to last them for two months.

It's not exactly a delicacy.

Xiao Ayu originally wanted to eat and live with everyone, but Qin Huai, who knew her secret, covered for her in every way, allowing her to take food from her space.

Qin Huai didn't eat anything, just like everyone else.

Ten days and ten nights later, they encountered a group of sand snakes. Although they were not as big as the giant python they had encountered before, they were still much larger than ordinary snakes.

Because they hadn't brought the lamb along, and these snakes weren't exactly docile, they managed to kill the group of snakes after the three of them were bitten.

Tuanzi suggested they bury it on the spot, but Wang Wulang and the others felt it was a waste and secretly roasted and ate it under the cover of darkness.

As a result, Wang Wulang, Wang Qilang, and the Red Serpent were all poisoned by some unknown substance and fell into a coma. With Tuanzi's guidance, Xiao Ayu extracted the antidote from the snake and, together with nutrient solution, rescued them.

After this experience, Wang Wulang learned a profound lesson and realized that he must firmly follow Sister Ayu and never act on his own again.

Later, they walked for another half month, but still couldn't get out of the desert.

However, along the way, they encountered many animals and plants in the sandy area. Based on the distribution characteristics of these animals and plants, Qin Huai deduced that this place was a naturally formed formation. Outsiders thought it was only fifty or sixty miles long, but in reality, it was a vast expanse of yellow sand.

Qimen Dunjia is different from the study of evil spirits, but Dachang doesn't value it much. It's considered an unorthodox discipline. Wang Sanlang knows a little about it, Wang Wulang has barely grasped the basics, and Wang Qilang and Xiao Ayu are still completely clueless.

Qin Huai, on the other hand, had a wide range of knowledge. He led everyone from the initial knowledge to in-depth learning. After studying together for three to five days, Xiao Ayu had a flash of inspiration and found a life-saving entrance to the formation.

Upon entering, they discovered Huangsha City, a desert city comparable to Dachang, with bustling streets and many missing people.

Young Master Ning was discovered among them.

The people here have no self-awareness. It's as if their life trajectories have been fixed, and they do the same things and say the same things every day until they collapse and are buried in the yellow sand.

After arriving in Huangsha City, due to the special terrain, Tuanzi's signal was intermittent and it was difficult to make contact.

The city lord of Huangsha City and his two personal guards are the only ones who remain sufficiently clear-headed and are able to control the hundreds of thousands of people in Huangsha City.

The exact time of the existence of the Land of Death is unknown; it may have existed for hundreds or thousands of years.

The people here have no worries or anxieties because they have no independent thought. Therefore, everyone practices monogamy, and every couple has at least two children.

Moreover, you almost never see single people. When they reach a certain age, they automatically seek out members of the opposite sex, then match up as couples and have children.

If one party is no longer available, the system will continue to automatically match.

Their children are also easy to raise because their thoughts are controlled; they don't cry or make a fuss, have no desires, and grow up simply by eating and drinking.

When the city lord saw Xiao Ayu, he insisted on keeping her, but his daughter was too lonely.

Xiao Ayu disagreed, and even advised the city lord to leave Huangsha City and meet normal people.

The city lord, however, only cared about his own ideas and selected all sorts of good-looking people from the city to make them Xiao Ayu's slaves. Young Master Ning was one of them.

The Wang brothers were injured by two guards while protecting Xiao Ayu, and their will was almost broken by the strange forces within the city. After learning that Qin Huai was Xiao Ayu's future husband, the city lord also threw Qin Huai into the death trap of Huangsha City to test his mind.

After Xiao Ayu tried to stop him, the city lord did not force her but instead showered her with affection, treating her like a daughter.

Finally, seeing that Xiao Ayu's will had been somewhat corrupted by the city's atmosphere, the city lord gave her the only thing in Huangsha City that could keep her conscious, and at the last moment, let her leave Huangsha City.

It was a stone with a sandy feel, which would absorb moonlight at night and glow.

It has a strong anti-interference capability, and can even block the signal of the dumpling by chance.

This item enabled Xiao Ayu to complete the mission, resulting in a further improvement in her physique and a reward of 300,000 points.

Tuanzi said, "This thing should belong to the Source World. I don't know why it ended up here. It's a very ordinary thing in the Source World. For you, it's best if it doesn't fall into human control, and even better, it doesn't end up in the human world."

"Ah, should I give this to the Source World?" Little Ayu asked.

[It can't be delivered now. This cannot be done via time travel; it would cause irreversible damage to the worlds along the way.]

Of course, Tuanzi could take this thing back to the source space, but it would never do that.

It will not leave its offspring unless it ceases to exist.

So, Xiao Ayu put this thing in her space, specially creating a place to bury the stone in the ground.

At that time, she thought that she would just have to wait until she got old and no longer had it, and then the elves could take it back to the source world.

Meanwhile, the city lord of Huangsha City, after giving the items to Xiao Ayu, became muddled and indifferent, repeating the basic routine of a city lord every day.

That young master Ning also followed his previous orders and pestered Xiao Ayu every day, wanting to serve her.

Xiao Ayu barely managed to rouse Wang Wulang and the others from their near-collapse. Just as they were about to leave, Huangsha City was hit by a beast tide.

All sorts of animals were attacking Huangsha City, and they finally understood why there were so many human and animal bones in the city—it was caused by these occasional beast tides.

The city lord has become an intelligent city lord, losing the ability to rule. Little Ayu has been given the influence of the city lord, and the children began to command battles for the first time.

However, even with Qin Huai present, their practical abilities were insufficient, and the city was nearly razed to the ground by the beast tides several times.

Huangshacheng suffered heavy casualties, with nearly 10,000 people lost.

The children were deeply affected and felt guilty, so they devoted themselves to studying strategy and ultimately won by a narrow margin.

As they were about to leave Huangsha City, an even more powerful sand python and venomous scorpion appeared. Everyone fought them seriously, but they were still no match for them.

Xiao Ayu and Tuanzi discussed ways to deal with the situation, but Xiao Ayu was almost hurt.

At the critical moment, the city lord, who had lost his self-awareness, suddenly appeared and blocked the fatal blow for Xiao Ayu.

As he lay dying, the city lord had a moment of lucidity, coughing up blood as he asked Xiao Ayu, "Would you be willing to be my daughter?"
