Qin Fengming directly ignored the expression of the cultivator surnamed Gu. This time, he merely wanted to rely on the others to lead the way, so he naturally had no opinion to offer regarding the choice of route.
"Travel east along the valley, then circle around the Red Sand Desert to enter. Although this route will be considerably longer, the danger will be greatly reduced. Besides, by the time we cross the Red Sand Desert, the Crimson Refined Ant swarm should have reached the edge of the Scorching Sand Mountain Range. What do you all think?"
Yu Shihai was shrewd and experienced. Instead of directly making the decision as the cultivator surnamed Gu had suggested, he proposed a route and asked everyone for their opinion.
When the others heard Yu Shihai's words, no one spoke for a moment.

It is called a Sandwing Rat, and it has a venom sac in its abdomen that can spray poisonous mist. That poisonous mist can cling to our bodies and is difficult to dispel with magic power. Is this really true?"
The eyes of Elder Li, who had spoken, gleamed as he looked at Yu Shihai without glancing at the cultivator surnamed Gu.
Qin Fengming had consulted some ancient records and knew a little about the Red Sand Desert. He also knew of the Sandwing Rat mentioned by Elder Li. It was a demonic rat that lived in groups and possessed a pair of Membrane wings, allowing it to fly extremely fast.
