However, in order to make himself appear more sociable, Ruan Yu secretly mobilized the power of fire, which made himself flushed and sweaty.

But it only appeared that way on the surface. In fact, she didn't feel any heat or discomfort at all.

"Master Alchemist, can you still hold on? How about I give you some divine power?" Several mercenaries came over and showed their goodwill to Ruan Yu.

Since I don’t know Ruan Yu’s real name, I can only address him as “Master Alchemist”.

"Let each of us cross some of it."

"Okay, I agree."

"I agree."

"Thank you very much." Ruan Yu pursed her dry and pale lips and looked at them with gratitude.

The mercenaries waved their hands: "That's nothing, we are injured and we have to trouble you!"

Cheng Qian felt very uncomfortable when she saw that the lickspittles who used to surround her and try to please her were now trying to please other women.

Bitch, you can be so proud! I wonder how long you can be so proud!

Cheng Qian cursed viciously in her heart.

The temperature continues to rise.

Fortunately, the barrier had already been set up. Although it wasn't a very effective barrier, it could at least protect against some of the high temperatures.

Everyone's condition improved significantly.

Cheng Qian took out the ice water that she had prepared early in the morning from her space ring. Just as she was about to take a sip, it was snatched away by the captain next to her.

"Why didn't you take out this thing earlier?"

After the captain drank half of it, he threw the canteen to the deputy captain.

The deputy captain drank the remaining water.

Poor Cheng Qian's throat was so hot that it was smoking. The water was hers, but in the end she didn't even get to drink a sip.

Cheng Qian felt so wronged that she wanted to cry. Although she hated the captain in her heart, she didn't dare to show it on the surface.

After all, she still has to rely on him, right?

"Anything else?" After a while, the captain was thirsty again.

Cheng Qian quickly shook her head. She only brought two pots, and she had to keep one for herself.

Unexpectedly, the captain had already seen through her intention and extended his hand: "Hand over the ring."

"..." How could Cheng Qian agree?

What he got in return was a beating: "You're so hesitant! You won't even drink a drop of water!"

"I didn't, Captain, I didn't." After being beaten, Cheng Qian became much more obedient. She curled up in the corner and cried bitterly.

I didn't dare cry too loudly, otherwise I would be beaten even more severely.

Ruan Yu watched all this in silence.

In some ways, Cheng Qian is quite pitiful. However, there must be something hateful about pitiful people, and this saying is absolutely correct when applied to Cheng Qian.

Should!

In the end, Cheng Qian's space ring was still stolen. Not only was the ice water inside gone, but also the money and treasures she had accumulated over the years were taken away.

"You're my woman now, so aren't your things mine? Why are you putting on such a deadpan face? Who are you showing it to?!"

The captain was very angry.

Especially after breaking his leg, he became even more angry.

Before Cheng Qian was around, he could only feel angry. Now that he has Cheng Qian, he can beat her whenever he is unhappy, and he feels much better.

"Yes, they're all yours." Cheng Qian agreed, but she hated him in her heart.

Even the hatred towards him was far greater than that towards Ruan Yu.

Ruan Yu knew nothing about this.

She kept an eye on the deputy captain's movements. From time to time, he would step out of the barrier to test the temperature outside.

It was not until the evening that the temperature slowly dropped.

Just when everyone thought they could move forward, yellow sandstorms formed into whirlwinds and came from all directions.

"Quick, get back to the barrier!"

Someone yelled.

In a group of people, there are always those who run slowly.

One of the mercenaries stood there for a second too long and didn't have time to run into the barrier, so he was pulled in by a black tentacle that stretched out from the wind and sand.

"Ahhh...!"

The mercenary screamed twice, his voice was intermittent, and then there was no sound.

Everyone who witnessed this scene had different thoughts.

"That sandstorm monster is here again!"

"What should we do? What should we do? Should we go back?"

"Yeah, it's so hot during the day that it's hard to move, and at night there are man-eating sand monsters that make it impossible to leave!"

The tall twins drew their swords, swung them a few times, and the swords flashed. The heads of the mercenaries who had just left while discussing the matter were already on the ground.

"Anyone who dares to mention the word leaving again will suffer the same fate as them!"

The remaining mercenaries looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

The team originally had only twenty or thirty people, but they were killed again and again by the deputy captain. Now, including Ruan Yu, there are only twenty people left.

Ruan Yu estimated that within five days, everyone would be dead.

"You, come here." The deputy captain wiped the blood off the sword and put it back into the hilt.

Then he pointed at the mercenary who knew how to set up formations.

"Deputy Captain, what do you want to call me for?" The formation master was extremely frightened, but he had to step forward.

He was trembling and didn't dare to go too close. Finally, he stopped five meters away from the deputy captain.

"Is there any way to make the barrier move?"

With just one sentence, everyone instantly understood the deputy captain's intention.

He wanted to create a mobile barrier so that everyone could move forward within the barrier!

Everyone looked at the formation master expectantly.

The array master's face was bitter. Wasn't this embarrassing for him? His array attainments were not yet so profound!

"No, no."

"Say it again?" The deputy captain didn't want to hear such an answer, so he drew his sword and pointed it at the formation master.

The formation master was so scared that he peed his pants, his pants were soaked and dripped onto the sand under his feet. "Deputy Captain, I really can't do it."

"If you don't know how, then find a way to learn it!" The deputy captain's sword brushed past the formation master's neck.

A shallow blood mark was left on his neck.

After a while, the formation master felt the pain in his neck.

He was so shocked that he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Yes, yes! I will try my best to find a way!"

In this way, everyone stayed in the barrier for another night.

During this period, the deputy captain left the barrier several times and walked into the wind and sand.

He always came back injured.

Ruan Yu used the pupil technique to clearly see that what was in the wind and sand was not a monster at all, but a sand beast.

Sandmon can use sand to transform into various objects. The black tentacles that everyone saw were exactly what it transformed into by imitating Octopusmon.

The sand beast itself does not have much combat power, but with its unpredictable shape-changing skills and the wind and sand surrounding it, it usually creates the illusion of being very powerful to the enemy.

It's time to leave.

Ruan Yu stood up and walked towards the edge of the barrier.

"Where are you going?" The captain walked out of the tent and saw her.

"Captain, I...I want to go to the bathroom." Ruan Yu made up an excuse.

"I'll go with you so I can provide some protection for you." The captain was just thinking of an excuse, and here he came up with one.

Ruan Yu rolled her eyes to the sky.

She knew exactly what this guy was thinking.

The tall twins were away, so they killed the cripple.
