After hours of slaughter, a gigantic sandworm struck the ship with a powerful attack, leaving Song Chi facing a formidable new threat.

• Song Chi found a century-scale sandsea storm surrounding the ten-thousand-meter boulder and gave up on approaching it after the storm's gravitational field threatened the Cangqiong.
