Nan Jue proposed using her vibration-altering instruments to cross safely, and the team set off toward the valley, where the Condensation Evil Bead reacted even more strongly.

• Jiang Yu told Tang Miao that a ruined ancient city near Hami City showed strange Wind and Lightning phenomena, but stone Element Spirits in the Gobi Valley had stopped the team from reaching it.

• Guan Yu reached the front of the group and asked what they should do, but he did not step into the valley.
