[The host has not yet reached the system space expansion conditions. ]

"Tsk..." Bai Yueyue sighed helplessly.

Long Hao turned around and said in a deep voice: "Everyone speed up and try to retreat to the vicinity of the forest before the sandstorm arrives."

"Yes!"

Adong let out a long breath, his thick black nails on the pads of his feet gripped the sand tightly, and he walked hard with his head down.

Although the black bears were very strong, it was still a bit difficult for them to pull such a large cart of stones as high as a mountain. Anin used his spiritual power to strengthen his whole body and walked to the front of the team in one breath.

The wind in the desert was getting stronger and stronger, and the yellow sand in the air was getting denser and denser. Visibility decreased and everyone had a mouthful of sand in their mouths.

If it weren’t for Bai Yueyue’s system navigation, I’m afraid everyone would have lost their way long ago.

Long Hao tried his best to use his wings to protect Bai Yueyue behind him. Although his huge body could withstand the strong wind, it could not stop the yellow sand that penetrated every pore.

"Ahem, system, exchange for a dust mask..." Bai Yueyue squinted her eyes. Fortunately, her eyelashes were long and the sand was stuck on them, otherwise she would not be able to open her eyes.

[Items have arrived! A small sandstorm eye has been detected three kilometers in front of the host, and it is still growing. It is recommended that the host find a sheltered place to take shelter temporarily.] The system reminded.

As expected, what Long Hao said came true. There really was a sandstorm ahead!

"Everyone stop!" Long Hao swung his tail and then crawled on the ground, using his huge body to block the front of the team and try his best to lead everyone to avoid the wind and sand. Fortunately, the structure of Long Hao's body is smooth scales and will not be covered by sand.

But Adong and Kaxiu were not so lucky. Although they were blocked by Long Hao, the pervasive yellow sand had already blown deep into their hair because of their hair. No matter how they shook it off, it was not clean, and their bodies became heavy.

"Lord Long Hao, Madam Yueyue! We can't breathe when the sandstorm gets strong! What should we do?" Aren is from the black bear tribe. He has lived on the edge of the forest all year round and knows how terrible desert sandstorms are.

Getting lost is a small matter. The most terrifying thing is that the yellow sand will block your mouth and nose and make it impossible to breathe. Once you fall down, the overwhelming yellow sand will bury you, and you can only wait for death.

"Everyone, change back into human form first. This is a dust mask. Everyone put it on immediately. It can prevent sand from entering the respiratory tract. Look for any mounds or other places nearby that can block the wind!" Under the cover of Long Hao's body, Bai Yueyue slid down from his back and let the mask fall down.

"Long Hao, you should wear one too!" Bai Yueyue raised her hand and patted Long Hao's tail and said loudly.

The wind and sand are too strong and the sound will be carried away.

"No need for now. I'll block the wind for you." Long Hao shook his head and raised his claws to grab Bai Yueyue under his belly to protect her. "It's too late to look for sand dunes now. The wind is getting stronger and stronger."

There was no shelter nearby, and if she rashly transformed back into human form her body wouldn't be big enough, and Bai Yueyue would be in trouble.

Bai Yueyue bit her lip and thought for a moment: "Everyone pull the wheelbarrow to the side, then move together and circle out an area in the middle for us to hide in."

"good idea!"

"it is good!"

Everyone hurriedly put on dust masks and instantly felt the air was much fresher. Their Madam Yueyue always had some good things to come up with.

Adong took the lead and stepped forward. He pushed the wheelbarrow with his strong arms and moved down a few stones to block the bottom. The others followed suit and quickly connected the carts together.

The four wheeled carts formed a square in the middle. Everyone transformed themselves into human forms and hid inside, barely able to squeeze in. Since the wheeled carts were loaded with heavy enough stones, they could remain motionless even when the wind was strong.

Long Hao pulled out an animal skin and covered Bai Yueyue's head with it, then held her tightly in his arms. Bai Yueyue leaned obediently against Long Hao's broad and strong chest with her fists clenched.

No matter what time, the world in Long Hao's arms always makes Bai Yueyue feel safe.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." Adong seemed to have swallowed a mouthful of sand and coughed violently twice under the dust mask.

"Are you okay, Adong?" A Ren raised his hand and patted Adong on the back.

"It's okay, I just accidentally inhaled some sand, cough cough... I'll be fine in a while." Adong waved his hands. He had to be fine. Ayun was pregnant with his baby now, and he had to go back to take care of her.

——I don’t know how long it took

The orcs were huddled together, leaning on the wheeled carts on their backs. The whistling wind in their ears came one after another, and it gradually became weaker and weaker.

"The wind seems to have stopped?"

"Yeah, the sound is lower."

"The sun is shining!"

Hearing the noise, Bai Yueyue grabbed the animal skin on her head and looked around. The sun had already come out again and the sandstorm had indeed passed.

Because Bai Yueyue had been protected in Long Hao's arms with animal skins, she remained fair, tender and clean.

On the other hand, although the wheelbarrow blocked the way, the people were half buried in the ground! They crawled out of the sand in a miserable state.

Kasu held the wheelbarrow and took off his straw sandals to pour out the sand. A'nin and A'dong were busy patting their hair. They were all covered in dust, which showed the power of the sandstorm!

Long Hao was not much better off. Apart from his mouth, nose and eyes covered by the dust mask, his silver-white hair was covered in sand and the sides of his face were also covered in dust.

"Haha, Ahao, you've become darker~" Bai Yueyue couldn't help laughing, and raised her little hand to dust off Long Hao.

"But we've suffered a great loss. Fortunately, the sandstorm was not very strong this time, otherwise we would have been buried together with these wheeled vehicles." Long Hao stood up, patted his head, and shook his hair vigorously.

"Is it so horrible?" Bai Yueyue smacked her lips.

[Sandstorms are very common in the desert, but most of them are small sandstorms like today. Large sandstorms can directly replace a layer of soil in the desert, and even turn sand dunes into flat land. You can see its power. The most terrifying is the desert tornado. If you encounter it, you can probably restart.] The system explained.

"emmm——"

Long Hao nodded, indicating that he was satisfied with the system's explanation.

"I see... then let's hurry up and get back to the forest. I don't know how the birds can survive in such a harsh environment. It seems that there is nothing to eat here." Bai Yueyue climbed back onto Long Hao's back and muttered.

"The birds live on the trees. The trees are huge and very wind-resistant, and their height prevents them from being buried by sandstorms. The main source of food in the desert is insects and ants. After the sandstorm, many insects will rebuild their nests, and then the birds will have food.

However, the bird tribe still relies on the giant ape tribe for most of its food source.”

"Giant ape tribe?"
