Jiang Shiyuan steeled herself and cast a spell of "Harmony between Man and Nature" on herself.

Without the support of the forbidden power, the giant sand palm scattered in all directions with a gust of wind. Jiang Shiyuan fell from mid-air following the force of the blow, trying to adjust his posture so that he wouldn't fall too badly, since it would be very troublesome to heal if he lost an arm or a leg.

She faced the earth, tilted her head back and stared intently at the ground, the wind whistling in her ears. Just as she mentally prepared herself, closed her eyes, and activated [Song of Forgetfulness] in advance, waiting for the intense pain, she felt a lightness in her body.

The next instant, the monkey mask collided with the rabbit mask on her face. She instinctively hugged Lin Qiye's neck tightly and met his worried eyes.

"Wow……"

That's why people say the hero saving the damsel in distress is so heartwarming. Jiang Shiyuan rested her head on Lin Qiye's shoulder, her cheeks warm and her heart pounding, letting Lin Qiye lead her behind the ancient tree demon.

She was somewhat relieved that they were wearing relatively thick clothes, otherwise Lin Qiye would definitely have felt her unusual heartbeat.

Lin Qiye asked with concern, "Are you alright? Why is your face so red?"

Could it be because he was suffocated by the sand just now? He helped Jiang Shiyuan remove her mask, his well-defined knuckles stroking her cheeks, which were still covered in sand, and then her already flushed cheeks...

Lin Qiye felt the warmth from his palm, and his fingers trembled.

Jiang Shiyuan turned her face away uncomfortably, spitting out a few mouthfuls of sand towards the open space with a flushed face. "The sand is all in my mouth, what's the point of touching my face?"

Lin Qiye was taken aback, withdrew his hand which still retained some warmth, and asked helplessly, "Then I can't exactly reach in and pry it open, can I?"

Jiang Shiyuan: "Let's talk about how to deal with Huang Sha Man..."

Continuing to discuss this topic would be inappropriate, and she always felt that Lin Qiye was taking advantage of her without her realizing it.

"Molly is here." Lin Qiye's expression shifted slightly as he turned to look at the sand wall behind them.

Jiang Shiyuan walked over and used her skill to melt away a section of the sand wall.

Molly remained in her slashing stance. Upon seeing Jiang Shiyuan, she quickly put down her katana, frowned, and pointed at the sand-drenched man fighting Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan. "Shiyuan! That man is the one we encountered when we entered the mist!"

If it weren't for the captain risking his life to clear a path for them, they would have died at the hands of this man today!

“Yes, we know, but he’s too cautious. He doesn’t come near us at all, so we can’t kill him.” Jiang Shiyuan looked at Lin Qiye. “Can your Rubik’s Cube switch the space he’s in?”

“It is possible, but…” Lin Qiye frowned, “at most, it can only succeed once when he is off guard.”

"Let me help you!"

Molly stared at the man in the yellow sand, gritted her teeth, and charged toward the center of the sand circle. She plunged her katana into the ground and poured all her mental energy into [Myriad Phenomena in Motion].

The ground began to tremble violently. Not only the house beneath Huang Sha Man's feet, but even the sand walls themselves began to shake violently, and then—collapsed with a crash.

Another one appeared. The man in the yellow sand floated from the ruins into the air. Looking at the five people below him, he already had the intention to retreat.

Although his skill level was higher than everyone else's, he did not gain much advantage in the battle just now. Continuing to fight like this would not yield any results, and he might even suffer an unexpected defeat.

Just as he was hesitating, a silver Rubik's Cube appeared in Lin Qiye's hand without him noticing. The Chaos Cube began to rotate, and the space where Huang Sha Man was located was instantly shifted to Lin Qiye's vicinity.

His body was shrouded in the darkness, and he simultaneously slashed at the man with his two swords.

Huang Sha Nan sneered, his body about to turn into a sky full of sand and gravel. Just then, a wave of water with tremendous force rushed straight towards him, forming a body of water at his feet.

The man in the yellow sand, who was completely submerged in the water, paused in his movements and was unable to break free for a moment. Moreover, for some reason, there was an icy power in this water that made his movements sluggish.

"Pfft-"

The shield summoned by Huang Sha Nan was pierced by Lin Qiye, and Lin Qiye's twin blades plunged straight into Huang Sha Nan's body, causing him to spit out a large pool of blood. Only after Jiang Shiyuan's skill finally disappeared did he get rid of the strange waters beneath his feet and stare at Lin Qiye in horror.

He was actually injured so badly by a few minor 'river' realms!

At this moment, he finally made up his mind to leave. The snake woman was dead, and the whereabouts of the three black boxes were unknown. They must have fallen into the hands of the other party. If these five people could not defeat him, they would definitely use the contents of the black boxes. Although he was a member of the Church of the Ancient Gods, he did not need to sacrifice himself for such an unknown team.

Just as the sand-man's body turned into sand again and swept towards the horizon, a hurricane blew the sand back, and Baili Pangpang descended handsomely, saying, "Trying to run? Did you get my permission?"

"Hmph, next time..."

The man in the yellow sand, who had reappeared, had a gloomy face and was full of anger. He had only taken advantage of his unpreparedness. How dare an ordinary person without any forbidden energy shout at him? He must be tired of living!

He condensed yellow sand into his palm and pinched Baili Pangpang, but he didn't choose to let the sand slowly fill the other's facial features, because he knew that the other had the ability to make his sand ineffective, so...

Baili Pangpang's body was slammed to the ground by a tremendous force, and the body of the yellow sand man began to turn into sand. At the same time, a large amount of yellow sand began to emerge from under the feet of Jiang Shiyuan and the others.

The road, which had already become loose due to Molly's "Omnipresent Motion," began to turn into sand, gradually transforming into a huge quicksand trap that showed signs of swallowing all five of them.

In the blink of an eye, Baili Pangpang and Molly were swallowed up by half their bodies, while Cao Yuan, who was not far from them, was left with only his head.

"Don't struggle! The more you struggle, the faster you'll sink!" Lin Qiye reacted immediately and shouted a reminder to Baili Pangpang and the others. He also told the ancient tree demon to move closer so they could have a foothold when they went up.

Jiang Shiyuan used the [Harmony of Heaven and Man] technique to temporarily escape the surrounding quicksand, but the ancient tree spirit was also trapped by a large amount of yellow sand and it would take some time for it to get over. So she was buried by the yellow sand again.

She could teleport to a place without yellow sand, but she couldn't defeat the sand man by herself, so escaping wouldn't help.

Baili Pangpang summoned Yaoguang, attempting to pull her away from the quicksand trap, but failed. "No! The suction force of this quicksand is too strong!"

Seeing that the five men were buried in the sand, Huangsha Man began to weigh his options. Even if he couldn't kill the Phoenix Squad, taking these five heads back would still be a great achievement.

But he immediately rejected the idea. His intuition told him that staying here would lead to a bad end, so he gave the five people a sinister look and chose to leave.

Seeing that he was about to escape, Jiang Shiyuan decisively cast [Luo Shen's Descent], along with a sky full of ice spikes, barely managing to keep the man in the yellow sand.

"Seven Nights, Rubik's Cube! Keep him here!"

Jiang Shiyuan used [Unity of Heaven and Man] again, and took advantage of the moment he was freed from the quicksand trap to leap towards Lin Qiye.

"Crash..."

Lin Qiye soaked in the water and hugged the mermaid Shi Yuan tightly, feeling that his worldview had been refreshed once again.
