The moment Chen Lin entered the Sand Sea, he knew he had underestimated the danger here.
The so-called grains of sand were not solid matter, but individual particles of energy containing highly corrosive rule power.
And they were transparent.
They were difficult to detect with either the naked eye or perception.
