Candice's arrival has raised the tension to another level, but Candice is even less interested in participating in the battle between El Haisen and Senor.

"Everyone, since you have come to Aru Village, don't try to use force here."

"It's not a threat, but a benign advice. A big sandstorm is coming. If you don't want to be swallowed by the sandstorm, you can only take shelter in Aru Village."

"If anyone dares to use force next, he will not be welcome in Aru Village. It looks like this is not your first time in the desert. I don't need to explain the power of the sandstorm, right?"

After Candice finished speaking, as if to confirm her words, the sand swept by the strong wind came towards them with a force that could blow to the sky.

The sand hit their faces like a slingshot. Seeing this, Elhaisen and Senor put down their weapons.

Candice led them to the home of the village chief of Aru Village, where they temporarily avoided the sandstorm. It was also at this time that Elhaisen and Senor had the opportunity to sit down and have a good chat, but the atmosphere was still tense.

Ying asked Candice about the Red King's mausoleum. After all, Candice was a descendant of the Red King, and she might have read books that recorded this matter.

Candice was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this traveler was so concerned about the Red King's Mausoleum.

"Can you tell me why you are looking for the Red King's Tomb? I will give you different answers based on your purpose. Some answers can save you, while others will put you in an irretrievable situation."

Ying took a deep breath, and then told Candice why she came to the desert and what happened in Xumi City.

Candice couldn't help but frown after hearing this. Although she had her own intelligence network, she had no idea about this matter. This only meant that the news might not have had time to get out and was intercepted in Xumi City.

"So the person you're talking about is trapped in the Red King's Tomb, right?"

Ying nodded, and Candice sighed. She didn't want to bother with these troubles at all.

"It is said that the Red King's Tomb was built by the Red King for the Flower God. After the Flower God passed away, the Red King could not bear the blow of losing his lover. So he built this palace under the command of a mysterious demon god and rested here with the Flower God."

"There are countless traps in this mausoleum, and there are countless quicksand traps. For hundreds of years, countless adventurers and treasure-stealing groups have wanted to enter it to take a peek at what's inside.

"But as expected, all of them were left in the Red King's Mausoleum. According to what you said, your companion was trapped in the Red King's Mausoleum a month ago. Not to mention the traps inside, but there was no supplies for a month..."

Candice did not continue to speak, her meaning was already very clear. Even if Yang Ming was not killed by the mechanism or trap.

Ying shook her head, saying that they might starve to death due to long-term lack of food supply.

"Most of the space in his Eye of God is filled with food, so you can rest assured about the supplies."

"As for traps and mechanisms, they are child's play for him. Even if he can't dismantle them, avoiding them won't be a problem."

"I can be absolutely sure that he is still alive. What I need now is a way to enter the Red King's Mausoleum, and how to get out after entering?"

Candice was a little surprised that Ying actually believed that the man was still alive.

"I really don't know where you get your confidence from, but it's good to have confidence and hope."

"I know the way to enter the Red King's mausoleum, and that is to enter directly from the main gate. Because over the past few hundred years, countless people have tried to enter from other directions, but without exception, they were discovered by the mechanism before they even started digging the hole."

"There are a large number of source energy structures guarding the main gate. We can either bypass them, defeat them head-on, or lure them away. There are only three ways."

"As for the way out, sorry, I don't know. Because I have never been in there. All I know is that in recent years, adventurers and treasure-stealing groups would rest in Aru Village before entering the Red King's Mausoleum."

Ying was a little surprised. You just watch them dig up your own ancestors?

"Didn't Aru Village try to stop it? After all, when facing unknown dangers, we should always warn them."

Candice gave a helpless smile and then said.

"Remind, why didn't you remind me? But do you think that just reminding me can dispel the adventurers and treasure-stealing groups' covetousness for the Red King's Tomb?"

"Besides, Aru Village doesn't have the strength to stop them. It might have been possible in the early years, but as the policies of the training academy have become more and more stringent, the daily necessities that Aru Village can obtain are getting less and less."

"Most of the young people in the village have become mercenaries or gone to live in Xumi. Most of those who remain are the elderly, the weak, women and children."

"Given the current situation of Aru Village, do you think we have the strength to stop them from moving forward?"

It was at this time that El Haisen and Sero came over, and Sero came in front of Katie and spoke to her.

"The Red King's Mausoleum is an important landmark building in Xumi. No one is allowed to enter without permission, let alone steal the treasures inside."

"If something like this happens, you can report it to the Magistrates' Court and ask them to send a disciplinary officer to handle the matter."

"In the name of the Disciplinary Officer, I will definitely clean up the treasure-stealing group that has set its sights on the Red King's Mausoleum."

After hearing what Seno said, Elhaisen and Katie laughed at the same time.

Ying and Senuo just stood there in a daze, they didn't understand why the two were laughing.

After Elhaisen chuckled twice, he said to Seno.

"Your Excellency, the Grand Disciplinary Officer, Aru Village has similar petitions every year. Guess why your Disciplinary Officer has not received any of them?"

"That's because the official in charge of handling the matter thought that the desert petition was unimportant, so he put it aside and forgot about it."

"Is he really forgetting or just pretending to forget? That's unknown. We need to ask the person who classified the memorials."

After listening to Elhaisen's words, Seno fell silent for a rare moment. He returned to his seat silently and sat down to drink tea.

"Okay, you should have heard what Elhaisen said just now. Now let's talk about how to rescue Yang Ming from the Red King's Mausoleum."

Elhaisen nodded, and the three of them began their plan. Seno was isolated, after all, he couldn't help with this matter.

Even if they want to help, the most they can do is clean up the source energy structure and other military activities.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Seno is not smart. On the contrary, the fact that he can become a senior disciplinary officer at such a young age is enough to prove that he is not an ordinary person.

The reason why I didn't discuss it with him was mainly because I was afraid that he would stubbornly believe that the Red King's Mausoleum could not be entered without the authorization of the Ministry of Education.

Not only can they not help, but they also cause trouble, which is what they fear.

"Now that we have finished discussing this, I will go and prepare dinner for you. After all, the sandstorm will not stop in a day or two, so you can stay in Aru Village for the time being."

"Don't worry. Aru Village often provides relief to travelers who are lost in the desert."

"Although the three of you entered the desert on purpose, you were caught in a heavy sandstorm, so you can be considered half victims."

After that, Candice went downstairs to prepare food. Elhaisen looked through the screen window and saw that the wind and sand outside were very strong. Even the windowsill was full of sand.

"What a strong sandstorm! The Sumeru Desert and the forest are two completely extreme climates. The desert is hot and dangerous."

"The forest is quiet and peaceful. Xumi is ruled by two gods, which brings two extreme weather conditions to Xumi."

Ying and Paimon were a little confused. Why was Elhaisen talking to himself over there? Of course, as a courtesy, she did not go up to interrupt him.

"Your Excellency the Disciplinary Officer..."

Elhaisen, who was originally looking out the window, suddenly spoke to Seno who was sitting next to him.

Seno was a little surprised and looked at Elhaisen coldly.

"Don't look at me like that. What I'm going to say next is related to the interests of the three of us."

"My employer is this traveler. You should know her. She is a famous person recently. She exchanged some information that I was interested in with me and hired me to go to the Red King's Mausoleum to rescue someone."

"So until my cooperation with her is complete, she and I will advance and retreat together. According to what you said, he may not be your opponent. But if I add that I don't have the confidence to deal with both of us?"

"It is true that you are powerful, but if you take us down by force without regard for the consequences, you will most likely be severely damaged. And what does it mean to be severely damaged in the desert? I don't need to explain it in detail."

If you are seriously injured in the desert and are not treated in time, you will either be dried up by the scorching sun or frozen into a corpse by the sub-zero temperatures at night.

Or you might encounter a monster and be swallowed by it, either of which is something no one wants to see.

The same was true for Seno, so after a brief thought, he decisively chose to cooperate with Elhaisen and Ying.

"The moment our cooperation ends, I will attack you without hesitation. If you, Traveler, try to stop me, you will be the enemy of the entire Disciplinary Office."

After hearing this, Paimon felt that Taino was very ruthless and wanted to take action against Elhaisen as soon as the cooperation ended.

"Seno, Elhaisen just hid some knowledge of the gods. Do you want to fight him to the death? In my opinion, this is not a big mistake. I often hide things too."

After hearing Paimon's words, Seno turned his head and looked at Paimon and spoke word by word.

"There is no order without rules. Rules are rules. If anyone can break the rules, then what is the meaning of the rules? So once you break the rules, you should pay the price for it."

"If everyone hides the knowledge of God like El Haisen, can you guarantee that there will be a few people who will be able to resist spreading it like El Haisen did?"

Elhaisen interjected after hearing this.

"Are you praising me? That's rare, Mr. Disciplinary Officer."

After being refuted by Seno with reasoned arguments, Paimon scratched his head in embarrassment and hid behind Ying.

At this moment, a roar of a wild beast suddenly came from outside. The three looked at each other and rushed out at the same time.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw Kaitis fighting a beast. The beast was very aggressive and exuded a dark aura.

Ying is very sensitive to the power of the abyss, and this wolf is obviously a monster from the abyss. Candice can easily deal with one or two of the wolves, but more and more wolves keep coming out of the wind and sand.

"This is a monster from the abyss. Let's stop watching and go up to help."

Kaimeng said anxiously. Of course, as soon as she finished speaking, Senor rushed into the battlefield like an arrow from a bow. He swung his spear and pierced the heads of the demon wolves one after another.

Elhaisen and Ying also joined the battle. In the windy and sandy weather with extremely low visibility, Seno almost stabbed Elhaisen with several shots.

El Sea Cucumber also passed by Seno's brow with a few swords away. Of course, the visibility was low, but it was not an obstacle for masters of their level.

Besides, it was impossible to wipe it just right every time. The two of them even almost came to blows. If the two monsters hadn't passed through them, they would have really come to blows.

After a long battle, the sandstorm gradually died down. As the sandstorm died down, the monsters in the sandstorm also gradually retreated.
