The endless yellow sands are dotted with scattered oases, like emeralds. The Uvaru People live in these oases, sheltering themselves from the harsh environment and obtaining food, water and shelter from them.
From the moment he entered, Logo knew that the world before him was not the interior of the Verdant Courtyard; it was a real world.
The Verdant Courtyard itself should be a key, opening a spatial passage that allows all the contestants to appear in this world.
Otherwise, even Demigod would be far from sufficient to support such a world.
However, the Radiance of the Demigod can envelop this area, preventing the contestants from dying and providing rescue in critical moments.
The vast world and harsh environment make it difficult for athletes to shine brightly here.
Logo wants to make a big splash, so he has to come up with a plan.
An individual's strength is always limited; leveraging external forces is the right approach.
The appearance of the Sand Spirit gave Logo an idea.
The bloodline ailment of the Uvaru People made him fully certain of his plan for the next ten days.
Inside the wooden house, a group of Uvaru People huddled together, their tense eyes fixed on the two people in front of them.
Logo took the freshly prepared powder, mixed it with water, rolled it into a dozen or so pills, then picked up one and threw it to the Uvaru People in front of him.
After examining the dark pill for a moment, the latter gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.
After the pills were taken, there were no immediate effects, which made the other Uvaru People suspicious. Their gazes towards Logo became dangerous, as they thought this outsider was playing a trick on them.
Ten minutes later, the Uvaru People, who had swallowed the pill, clutched his stomach and squatted down. Orange-red flames rose from his body, and his simple clothes were quickly burned to Ashes, leaving him lying naked on the ground.
Strangely, despite being burned by the flames, the creature showed no sign of pain. Instead, it appeared serene, as if it were in an extremely comfortable environment.
This continued for about three minutes until the flames gradually died down. The Uvaru People lying on the ground slowly woke up. The strange patterns that had originally entwined like insects and snakes on his bare skin had almost completely disappeared and were barely noticeable unless one looked closely.
"Kular, how are you feeling?" Kado quickly asked.
Completely unconcerned about his current state, the naked Kular easily sprang to his feet, looked down at his outstretched hands, and exclaimed with ecstatic joy, "Chief, it seems the fire within me has been cleared away. I feel more comfortable than ever before!"
"It's clean? Are you sure?" Kado involuntarily raised his voice, his fingers trembling slightly, hardly believing his ears. Only after confirming with Kular several times did he finally believe it, bursting into tears of joy.
God knows how desperate the Uvaru People have been all these years. Not only are they living in such a harsh world, but the overall potential of their people has also been severely damaged by the Fire Scorch Disease. If this continues, extinction is to be expected.
Originally, Kado had prepared himself to quietly await death, but Logo's sudden appearance brought new hope to the Uvaru People.
The other person actually could cure Fire Scorch Disease.
After the initial excitement subsided, Kado looked at Logo, opening his mouth as if to say something.
Logo raised his hand, stopping Kado from saying what he was about to say.
"I know what you're trying to say, but I don't want to hear it anymore. The pills I've concocted can suppress the Fire Scorch Disease your tribe, but they can't cure it completely. One pill lasts about a year. After that, you must take the pills again, otherwise the backlash from the Fire Scorch Disease will be even more severe than before."
After hearing this, Kado frowned, his drooping fingers curling slightly. "So, once you start taking this pill, you can't stop?"
"That's right." Logo glanced at Kado's clenched fist, a faint smile playing on his lips. "What? You think a single pill can completely cure you Uvaru People?"
"Give me the formula!" Kado stepped forward, extending his right hand. "If you hand over the formula, I will grant you all your requests."
"Hand over the formula? Fine! But not now. I'll hand it over when I leave in ten days."
"Why not now?" Kado's voice deepened, a chill rose in the air, and the other Uvaru People quietly adjusted their positions, creating a tense atmosphere.
Logo, however, seemed completely oblivious to all of this. His tone remained as calm as ever, carrying a unique ethereal quality, as if he were drifting down from the distant heavens. "These are my conditions. Answer me as soon as possible, and remember, this is your last chance."
Upon hearing this, Kado's expression changed slightly. He keenly sensed that this outsider was becoming impatient, and if he continued to argue, things might fall apart.
He wasn't confident he could capture him; Kado sensed a chilling danger emanating from his opponent.
Moreover, even if they force Logo to stay, they might not be able to obtain the pill formula, and if that fails, their last hope will be completely dashed.
The future of our community is in our own hands; this decision is of paramount importance.
It's a risky gamble to kill this guy who's trying to blackmail the Uvaru People with pills.
Or should we submit and become their loyal hound...?
To be honest, this choice wasn't difficult.
The future of our community, even if there is only a one in ten chance, should never be gambled on.
Kado released his grip and knelt on one knee. "My lord, the Uvaru People will become your sword, clearing away obstacles and paving the way for you."
The leader's actions also influenced the other Uvaru People, and a large group of them knelt down, offering their loyalty to the tall and imposing figure, even though this loyalty was only temporary.
Outside, in the plaza, witnessing the scene appearing on the giant projection, the scene was completely silent, all eyes fixed on Logo.
"This is Survival Battle to be interesting, the contestants are turning into big bosses," a spectator muttered to himself.
A similar voice came from beside him, "To concoct a pill for the bloodline ailment of the Uvaru People in such a short time, and to be able to control the Sand Spirit, this guy named Logo is too amazing! It's like he knows everything."
His words drew many nods of agreement.
However, this statement also sparked another debate.
"Do you think this means they knew the details of the Survival Battle in advance and prepared accordingly?"
"That's right, he's from Gendaya People. I checked the records and found that this Logo is also Royal Court court. The organizer of the Martial Arts Tournament is the Gendaya Royal Court. It couldn't be easier for him to cover it up."
"Very likely, otherwise how would you explain his various bizarre behaviors?"
"That's outrageous! If that's true, isn't the Gendaya Royal Court cheating and fooling us?"
Conspiracy theories are always easy to gain support, especially when others achieve what one cannot. An emotion called jealousy takes root in the heart, prompting a Destruction urge to destroy that unattainable thing.
The audience's emotions shifted from initial skepticism to anger, gradually turning into a sense of widespread indignation.
Of course, members of other hostile forces are certainly involved in fueling this situation.
The discussions and doubts grew louder, Royal Court keenly noticed this, so he immediately ordered the two hosts to clarify the situation.
Since Aziz, being Gendaya People, couldn't personally intervene, Maliya spoke up this time.
Her emerald green dress fluttered gently in the air, like a willow branch drooping in the wind. As the beautiful Elf Race woman smiled slightly, the entire square seemed to brighten, and the eyes of many spectators were drawn to her.
Immediately afterwards, a soft yet penetrating voice echoed out, and her explanation could be divided into two parts.
First, there's Logo himself. Naturally, we'll introduce Logo's alchemical talent to set the stage for his amazing feat.
When a person's excellence is deeply ingrained in people's minds, then it seems natural for them to do things that are incomprehensible to ordinary people.
To further prove this point, Maliya even brought out some alchemical products made by Logo, some of which were already quite famous in the market.
For example, a multi-functional alchemical puppet is not only inexpensive and durable, but also has excellent functions in all aspects. It has been rated as the champion product among similar products and is gaining more and more popularity, with its market share soaring rapidly.
However, no one knew that this multifunctional alchemical puppet was designed and made by Logo. When Maliya announced this news, it caused an uproar.
Many people then realized that Logo actually possessed such a high level of alchemical talent.
In this way, it all makes sense that he used special fluctuations to control the Sand Spirit or quickly prepared pills to treat the Fire Scorch Disease.
A person of extraordinary talent, capable of accomplishing unexpected things—isn't that a perfect match?
The second aspect of Maliya's explanation concerns the Gendaya Royal Court itself.
She recounted the Royal Court's past Martial Arts Tournament, stating that the Royal Court has always maintained fairness and impartiality under any circumstances. Even in the first six tournaments, when they were publicly humiliated by people sent by the White Wolf Kingdom, the Royal Court did not resort to any underhanded tactics, which demonstrates the Royal Court's conduct.
How could an organizer known for its fairness possibly cheat? Absolutely not.
After the two points were explained, the doubts and criticisms of Logo immediately subsided.
Those who secretly stirred up trouble and incited public opinion have also quietly fallen silent.
Meanwhile, unexpectedly, Maliya's earlier introduction of Logo made many viewers even more curious about his identity as an alchemist, and those who were bored began to dig deeper into Logo's information.
The information that was made public was insignificant, but the alchemical products registered under Logo's name certainly attracted a lot of attention.
Many viewers were astonished, never expecting that some of the alchemical products they frequently used were actually designed and produced by Logo.
What was even more unexpected was that none of Logo's alchemical products were of poor quality or low cost.
In this way, the previous doubts actually gave Logo a free publicity boost, especially in the alchemy product sector.
Logo, of course, knew nothing of this.
At this moment, he is leading a hundred-strong elite team, including Kado and Kular, towards the northwest to install "radar."
After a hearty meal, Logo's energy and spirits were fully restored. Facing the rolling sandstorm, the group traveled for an hour until the sandstorm gradually subsided, and suddenly a majestic and towering peak came into view.
"This is it, the highest point in the world," Kado said respectfully, pointing to the giant peak before him.
Logo nodded slightly and stepped forward, with the Uvaru People following closely behind.
The group first walked up the mountain path, and then the terrain became increasingly steep.
Because flying is difficult in this world, one can only slowly climb upwards.
"My lord, please be careful. If we go any further up, we will be entering the territory of that Mountain Python. It has the combat power of Tier Eight, Unrivaled defense, and has lived here for hundreds of years. It is not restricted by the terrain at all. Do you think we should be cautious..." Kado said cautiously, following behind Logo, while observing Logo's expression.
Unfortunately, Logo's face was like a bottomless abyss, unfathomable and unfathomable, making it difficult for anyone to discern his thoughts.
Without saying a word, Logo continued climbing.
Seeing this, Kado gritted his teeth, asked no more questions, and led the group of Uvaru People to follow Logo.
Time passed, and about ten minutes later, the group of one hundred people reached the top of the mountain.
Here stands a massive stone nest containing five enormous snake eggs.
"Huh? This Mountain Python actually laid eggs. I didn't expect that." Kado's eyes lit up when he saw the snake eggs. The offspring of Tier Eight Mountain Python, if raised well, will be the foundation for the clan's survival in the future.
Logo glanced at the snake eggs but ignored them, his gaze drawn more to a small tree at the edge of the nest.
"A sapling of the Sand Sun Tree. I didn't expect to find one here. It seems to have been transplanted here on purpose." Logo's eyes flickered as he looked at the small brown sapling in front of him.
The so-called Sand Sun Tree, in short, is a four-star plant. The fruit it bears is a Rare and Legendary material, and is extremely valuable.
"The Mountain Python shouldn't have the ability to transplant the Sand Sun Tree. It seems this is an extra reward from the competition? I can't believe my luck has run out again."
The survival stage is the longest, and in addition to various dangers, it also involves investing various resources and placing the area in dangerous locations.
The more dangerous a place is, the Rare and more precious its resources tend to be.
In Jedi, one could even find Transcendent resources of Epic scale.
The Mountain Python is Tier Eight Transcendent beast, and its lair is obviously dangerous, so placing a Sand Sun Tree there is quite appropriate.
Logo reached out to take the Sand Sun Tree, but just as he was about to touch the sapling, a shrill sound of wind breaking rang out, followed by a 30-40 meter long, brownish-yellow snake tail lashing down from above, causing the air to vibrate and produce a deafening explosion.
"Be careful, sir..."
