Gobi Valley

After arriving at the Gobi Valley, Tang Miao noticed a significant change in the geology. It was no longer the dry, orange-yellow color, but instead had a reddish tinge, and the entire Gobi Valley appeared dark red!

In fact, the formation of this Gobi Valley is quite spectacular.

Mu Nujiao and Tang Miao were both visiting for the first time, and they were quite surprised by what they found!

The vast land is divided into two layers. To the west, it rises abruptly, revealing a continuous cliff parallel to the horizon. The cliff is like a majestic city wall, blocking the originally flat terrain and seemingly dividing it into another world.

The high-altitude ground was scorching hot rock, intensely baked by the sun, with astonishingly high temperatures. Even Advanced Mage felt as if they were walking on flames, making it absolutely impossible to pass through. Of course, for someone like Tang Miao, who possessed Soul Grade flames, it was naturally no problem.

The only area with a slightly normal temperature is the long canyon, where sunlight cannot reach, and the temperature is much lower than the upper land. The Ruined Ancient City are on the other side of this entire raised high landmass, an ancient sacred land that is almost isolated from the world and protected by the scorching Longping Mountain. This kind of place, which has never been explored by anyone and is even difficult for Demon Beast to enter, is the most likely to give birth to treasures of heaven and earth!

This is the main reason why they have been lingering here for so many days.

Upon hearing Guan Yu's question, Nan Jue looked at everyone and replied, "There are only three Elemental Instrument in total, and they are spaced one hundred meters apart. Therefore, we need someone to lay the Elemental Instrument forward and someone to retrieve them before we can continue."

Ai Jiangtu stepped forward and said, "Then I'll go first!"

Nan Jue nodded in agreement. "Yes, the stone elementals ahead aren't too strong. Your Space Element magic shouldn't alert them."

Although there are three Space Element mages here, only Tang Miao and Ai Jiangtu have reached the high-level Space Element. Mo Fan is only an Intermediate Level Space Element mage.

However, Mo Fan still asked, "Can't we just use our thoughts to send this Elemental Instrument forward?"

Nan Jue shook his head and said very seriously, "No, this Elemental Instrument needs to be manually calibrated. Different Elemental Instrument require different frequencies. Otherwise, the Elemental Instrument will become useless."

Mo Fan shrugged and had no choice but to abandon the idea.

Lu Yilin then retorted disdainfully, "All you do all day is cause trouble."

Mo Fan seemed to have a long-standing feud with him? He immediately retorted, "Preschooler, are you asking for trouble?"

Lu Yilin immediately retorted angrily, "What did you say?!"

Nan Jue looked at the two of them and scolded, "Alright, stop arguing! If you two don't want to go in, then stay here."

Lu Yilin's eyes flashed coldly, then he let out a cold snort. But he didn't say anything more.

Mo Fan, on the other hand, wouldn't stoop to the level of such a person, since he was extremely interested in the treasures inside.

After stopping the two, Nan Jue buried a spinning Elemental Instrument at the entrance of the Gobi Valley, adjusted it manually, and waited until the Elemental Instrument started flashing green light before signaling Ai Jiangtu that they could set off.

Ai Jiangtu directly constructs constellations, radiating a mysterious silver glow.

The space trembled, Ai Jiangtu vanished from his spot, reappearing without warning a hundred meters in front of the Gobi Valley.

"Crack! Crack!!"

Almost as soon as Ai Jiangtu landed on the orange-red earth of the Gobi Valley, eerie sounds immediately arose from both sides of the stone walls. Stone faces began to emerge on the walls, becoming increasingly three-dimensional, until their entire heads detached from the stone walls...

Upon witnessing this astonishing scene, Mu Nujiao instinctively covered her mouth with her hand. Looking at the numerous large heads emerging from the stone wall, one could tell just how many of these stone elements were present...

She couldn't imagine how they could possibly get through a place like this...

Tang Miao, standing beside her, patted her bottom and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, everything'll be fine."

Mu Nujiao turned around, somewhat embarrassed and indignant, and said through gritted teeth, "Even if you're trying to comfort me, you don't have to pat me on the back!"

Jiang Yu, the encyclopedia, explained to Mu Nujiao and Tang Miao, who were gritting their teeth, "These are Moon-Forbidden Stone Demon from the Stone Element, each with the strength of a Lesser Warrior. They dislike moonlight. We originally planned to use the moonlight to our advantage at night, but unfortunately, this Gobi Valley is too narrow, and since we're in the Southern Hemisphere, the moon's trajectory makes it difficult for moonlight to reach this area. No wonder so many Moon-Forbidden Stone Demon inhabit this place."

Upon hearing Jiang Yu speak, Mu Nujiao immediately regained her composure. She decided not to argue with Tang Miao anymore; after all, he was thick-skinned, but she wasn't!

Jiang Shaoxu, that little vixen, also came over. Seemingly noticing Tang Miao standing next to Mu Nujiao, she asked with a hint of doubt, "Tang Miao, are you and Miss Mu very familiar?"

"That's because she knows my strengths and weaknesses, and I know her depths."

Upon hearing Tang Miao's words, Mu Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu simultaneously cursed.

At the same time, Mu Nujiao also distanced herself from Tang Miao. Jiang Shaoxu said disdainfully, "Can't you be a little more gentlemanly?"

Tang Miao was about to speak when Nan Jue interrupted her.

Seeing that the Moon-Forbidden Stone Demon were about to awaken collectively, she hurriedly said to Ai Jiangtu, "Quickly adjust the frequency and rotate it to the corresponding geological needle!"

Ai Jiangtu hurriedly followed suit, adapting the Elemental Instrument to the geological conditions of the surface so that it could transmit Earth Wave back to the first Elemental Instrument at the valley entrance.

The Moon-Forbidden Stone Demon had half its body pulled out of the stone wall, but the Elemental Instrument hadn't even started to work. Seeing that it wasn't as simple as it seemed, everyone started to have second thoughts.

"This thing is unreliable!"

"Quickly, save Captain Ai!"

"..."

Furthermore, several people had already begun preparing to go and meet Ai Jiangtu.

"It's green!"

At that moment, Ai Jiangtu suddenly shouted.

Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao, Mu Ningxue, and Jiang Shaoxu all looked at Tang Miao in unison, yet with a puzzled expression...

Fortunately, their attention was all on Tang Miao, and they didn't notice the other two girls...

Even so, Tang Miao felt a chill run down his spine, but he didn't dare utter a single word... At this moment, he was genuinely a little panicked...

Fortunately, Nan Jue suddenly spoke up, "Press it down together!"

This finally drew the girls' attention to one side.

Tang Miao was already starting to regret it... Why did she have to push herself so hard and help Mu Nujiao get a substitute spot? Wasn't this just shooting herself in the foot?!

After all, Mu Nujiao is not Mu Ningxue!

But then again, what's the use of regretting it now?
