Early the next morning.

Everyone left the hotel, those riding camels, riding ostriches, and those on foot all heading towards the location marked in advance by Lost Grand Canyon.

Due to the different ways of traveling, the speed of everyone is also different. Gale and Borba work in tandem to ensure that the entire team can be taken care of.

According to the way everyone chooses to travel, Ao Li'ao who rides a camel falls behind. In fact, the camel is not slow when running at full speed, but it has the same problem as Orleans and Yun Ji who ride an ostrich.

Ao Li'ao is not very good at riding!

Therefore, in order not to be thrown off, Ao Li'ao had no choice but to move forward with his camel.

Fortunately, riding a camel is quite stable after getting used to it.

Orleans and Yun Ji, who were behind Ao Li'ao, were a little miserable, because as soon as they ran two miles away, they found that Flame Ostrich, who was sitting down, was not easy to control.

Flame Ostrich is very fast and good at running, and has low requirements on terrain. However, if a novice cannot control the direction, it will be easy for him to wander around.

This leads to a problem: the speed is fast, and it is very exciting to run while sitting on it, but the direction is wrong!

So, after fighting left and right, the two women fell at the back.

Located in the middle of the team were the four people who chose to walk. Among them, Yan was running at the front with full power, Xie Yue was following closely behind, and Bao Jingjing and Hu Liena were running together at the back.

However, Yan, who was rushing in front, was not very happy. Instead, he held his breath and continued to increase the Soul Power output and rushed forward.

Looking at the two people in front of him who were about to disappear in a flash, Yan couldn't figure out why Xu Huxiao and that Ghost Child were so fast and skilled when they were both riding ostriches.

It was almost like a human and a bird, and there was no situation that was out of control.

Yan was not convinced, so he increased the output of Soul Power again and rushed forward desperately.

But facing Flame Ostrich, a natural runner, as Power Attack, he still only gets ashes from behind.

Xu Huxiao and Ghost Child at the front were riding birds and whipping their whips, leaving everyone far behind. In fact, it was Xu Huxiao's first time coming into contact with a mount like an ostrich, but thanks to his strong control of power and force in martial arts, it was easy to control a fast Mercedes-Benz ostrich in a short period of time.

And the Ghost Child next to him, that is, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, he can be so fast because this is not his first time riding Flame Ostrich, and it is not his first time to come to Lost Grand Canyon. He was famous in this area in his early years.

While running, Gui Mei, who was playing the role of a book boy, introduced Lost Grand Canyon to Xu Huxiao.

"Master Huxiao, this area of Yellow Sand Lost Grand Canyon is connected to Death Desert. Due to the harsh environment, not only the human settlements are scattered and sparse, but also Soul Beast."

"The Soul Beasts here are generally not big in size, and they are all natural hunters. They are very good at stealth attacks and killings. They are mainly Soul Beasts such as Sand Lizard, Five-Colored Rattlesnake, Killer Bee, Black Demon Scorpion, etc. Most of them are poisonous, and they are nerve paralyzing toxins, which are very effective."

"Therefore, most people rarely go out alone. They always travel with a group, and detoxification pills are necessary when going out."

"If you want to survive in this Gobi desert, the most important thing is one word, ruthless!"

"Be ruthless to yourself and even more ruthless to others, so that you can gain a foothold."

Listening to Ghost Dad's popular science, Xu Huxiao responded from time to time, but when he heard the last sentence, he felt a little awkward.

Shouldn't we be cruel to others and even more cruel to ourselves?

How come it was tampered with at Ghost Dad.

The two Flame Ostrich ran wildly. They were at the front, and Gale was between them and the four people walking, ensuring that both sides could be taken care of.

Borba was at the back of the entire team, looking after the three people riding the camel and the ostrich.

The entire distance was very long. Gui Mei looked at the distance behind him, stretched out his hand, and spread out a small piece of thin black mist, which always filled the area around him and Xu Huxiao to isolate the sound.

Xu Huxiao knows the function of this black mist, so he is not worried.

Then, Gui Mei confidently continued to spread to Xu Huxiao all kinds of Soul Beast knowledge about living here, as well as some stories of his own adventures in this Gobi desert when he was young.

"... I think back then, that woman Purple Scorpion and I met at Lost Grand Canyon. We still didn't know each other without fighting. Old Ghost Because of Living Dead Body, as my cultivation deepened, the backlash of the death energy became deeper. I entered Spirit Hall. Apart from my mission, I have been staying in the dark Black Prison almost all year round. This is the first time for Old Ghost that I have been out under the sun for so long, and it is also the first time that I have returned to my hometown. I didn't expect that so many years have passed in such a flash."

"I really miss the old days."

"Do you like Elder Purple Scorpion?"

"Like? Old Ghost I am neither a human nor a ghost. It's a long story. Moreover, that woman has a bad temper, is petty, and wants to beat or kill her at every turn. She is just like a female gangster. Who would like her... Ahem, no, why are you asking so many questions? I didn't say much, Little Ghost, remember you didn't hear anything!"

As he was talking, Gui Mei realized that he had spilled the beans and quickly stopped talking.

Xu Huxiao did not expose him, and said, "It's okay, Ghost Dad, I just asked casually, I won't take it to heart, don't worry."

Gui Mei didn't want to dwell too much on this topic, lest he spill the beans again and reveal more information, so he turned back to Soul Beast.

"Ahem, well, in fact, in addition to these small Soul Beast, there are also some strange large Soul Beast. The Golden Rock Giant Elephant you are looking for is one of them. This is a Soul Beast that migrates with the yellow sand storm. The group, it can be said that they live in the yellow sand storm. Due to their huge size, the elephant group will not be affected by the storm. After the storm sweeps through, the iron and stone deposits underground will be exposed. Golden Rock Giant Elephant feeds on these gold and iron minerals."

"It's not easy to hunt down this kind of gregarious Soul Beast. You still have to find the Elephant King among them that reach Ten Thousand Year, which will be even harder."

"You should have read the information on Golden Rock Giant Elephant. You should know the special nature of its shock. Old Ghost, I am really curious about how you will do it. Even with Old Ghost's help, it will be a bit difficult to successfully hunt it."

"What's more, I can't reveal my strength right now. Just with the two Soul Sages on your faces and a few almost useless teammates, it's impossible to capture them no matter how hard you think."

"Then why are you so confident?"

"Don't tell Old Ghost, you have to rely on those two Soul Sage teachers. Let me tell you, they don't know that your target is Elephant King. They think you are just hunting ordinary Golden Rock Giant Elephant, so they think it's okay."

"If you tell Elephant King about your goal, Old Ghost guarantees that the first reaction of these two people is to ask you to give up."

Xu Huxiao said, "Let's take a look first. I'm not 100% sure, only 70% to 80% sure that it can be successful. If not, I'll get rid of the thunder first, and then let you and elder Purple Scorpion help."

Seventy or eighty percent?

Gui Mei looked at the calm and confident look on Xu Huxiao's face, and knew that he was talking about the least. If 100% means easy, then 70% to 80% means a little difficult.

"Good boy, then Old Ghost I'm going to watch your performance. Okay, it's coming soon, Old Ghost has to remove the black fog and can't speak, so as not to reveal any flaws."

"Hmm."

Gui Mei With a wave of his hand, the black fog disappeared without leaving any trace.

And he and Xu Huxiao were the first to reach their destination, a huge flat cliff.

After the first two miles, there are huge cracks that are criss-crossed and complicated like a spider web. It can't be seen to the end. Deep valleys and mountains alternate between them, and the yellow sand is filled. It is difficult for ordinary people and Soul Master with low cultivation level to find their way once they enter, and it is difficult to survive.

This is Lost Grand Canyon.

······

Two and a half hours later, everyone gathered on the cliff to finish.

The last ones to arrive were naturally Orleans and Yun Ji. At this time, Xu Huxiao, Ghost Child and the four people walking had already finished two roasted ostriches.

The reason why Xu Huxiao chose to ride an ostrich is because Orleans said that the meat of Flame Ostrich is firm and delicious. You can have a barbecue when you go somewhere.

Of course, these two ostriches were bought, not rented.

It turns out to be really delicious.

I feel pity for the last three people who arrived. Their punishment, Gale, had been carried out an hour ago, which was to send their respective mounts back after arriving at the place, and then run over on their own.

In fact, the duo riding the ostrich and Ao Li'ao riding the camel did not arrive at all on the next trip, because the road ahead was rugged and the camels could not reach it, and riding an ostrich requires high operating skills.

The three of them tried their best to drag their mounts for two miles, but when they couldn't get there, Gale followed them to take their mounts back to the city and then back again.

Of course, Gale didn't help with the whole process, the three of them completed it by themselves.

This came and went again and again, until the three of them were so tired that they almost foamed at the mouth.

Fortunately, when they finally arrived, Xu Huxiao left a leg of roasted ostrich meat for them. With Bao Jingjing and Black Crystal Abalone recovering their physical strength, after resting for twenty minutes, the three of them were back to their best condition.

But all three of them secretly made up their minds that they would never make their own decisions again and would only listen to the teacher's instructions.

This is Gale's mistake-based teaching. You are not afraid of making mistakes, but if you miss it once, it will definitely leave a deep impression on the students.

However, this is also a matter of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.

"After this lesson learned on the road, I hope you can understand that when making decisions, always think about whether you have the ability. Huxiao and his book boy have this ability, so their choice is right and deserves praise."

"You three don't have this ability, but you still want to be playful and show off. That's a wrong choice and you should accept criticism."

"Little Ao, Little Liang, Yun Ji, hunting Soul Hunting beasts is not a game, nor is it a trip. Because you are all children of a rich family, you are protected by me and Teacher Borba, and you have the opportunity to try and make mistakes. Ordinary Soul Master do not have this preferential treatment."

"However, you must remember that you are already mature Soul Master who are about to be promoted to the Advanced Soul Master Academy. You must treat the profession of Soul Master with awe, read more, and learn more. Otherwise, when you are alone in the mainland in the future, you will suffer a lot, and sometimes even make wrong choices, and your life will be in danger."

"Okay, I won't say any more. The following sentence applies equally to all of you. Regardless of whether you are strong or not, you all need to be in awe. Endless learning is our lifelong pursuit at Soul Master. I hope you will learn from it in the following experiences. Do you understand?"

Gale spoke sincerely, and after the instruction was completed, everyone nodded in agreement. Orleans, brother and sister, and Yun Ji also accepted it humbly. They put away the playful look in their eyes and became serious.

So does everyone else.

Indeed, because Xu Huxiao was here, their journey was so easy. Whether they were fighting against Hundred Beasts, Golden Seven Sons or Heaven Dou Team, they all passed easily, so much so that their cultivation became a bit of a joke.

Now Gale's lesson has awakened them.

"Now let's let Teacher Borba arrange the next actions."

Borba looked at this team and felt dissatisfied. Moreover, he always had the interception plan in mind and had no extra thoughts to teach with peace of mind.

So, Borba shouted to gather.

Everyone lined up obediently and reported the numbers in order.

Borba said, "Now that the destination has arrived, I will give full authority to Orleans for all subsequent actions, and Orleans will go out."

Orleans took a step forward and said, "Here."

"Orleans, as the captain of the team, although you were willful and made mistakes in the early stage, as a captain, you must shoulder the responsibility of the captain. The following operation to hunt Soul Beast will be fully organized and responsible for you. Do you understand me clearly?"

"Listen clearly!"

After saying that, Borba and Gale no longer care.

Orleans looked at everyone and mentally transformed into the role of a captain. She knew that playing is based on strength. If you don't have strength and only know how to play, you are mediocre and stupid.

No one wants to hang out with mediocre idiots.

She took out Map, asked her teammates to sit down together, glanced around and said:

"From now on, we will strictly implement division of labor and cooperation to ensure that Huxiao can capture his favorite Soul Beast."

"Next, I start assigning."
