Even without her reminder, the other Magi present had already recollected their absent-minded pace from before.
One can loosen their guard occasionally in the Limestone Wasteland, but if they chose to do the same in the Golden Desert, they were foolish and seeking for death! Those magicians who were able to advance into a rank 1 Magus were seldom such people.
“Awoooooo!”
Just then, Lancey’s steed let off a howl. Its huge claws were raised and its sharp claws at tip slashed down with a cold glint of light!
*Pat*
Suddenly, a black scorpion with the image of an eye appeared in front of where the wolf was. It was patted down by the sharp claws of wolf as it continuously writhed its body and hissed.
*Ka-Cha* The Seated Lupin Wolf dropped its jaws and opened its gory mouth as it placed the scorpion into its jaws. The razor sharp mandible continued to chew, bringing along the snapping sounds of the scorpion’s bones being crunched.
“Such a life form can be settled by the Seated Lupin Wolf. However, dangerous creatures such as the Kary Vultures must be dealt by us personally!”
Lancey slighted nudged her steed forward and said to the Magi behind her.
“This is…”
Where the Seated Lupin Wolf had attacked earlier, it sent a huge amount of sand flying in the air and Leylin spotted several grains of gold within it.
He reached his hand forward and grasp a handful of gold sand in his hands.
In the middle of the normal grains of sand, several golden grains were mixed in with it. Its weight was also heavier than the others by a large margin.
“Golden sand?”
Leylin looked at the gold which seemed to be alluring and was somewhat speechless.
“Golden Desert, this here is the real Golden Desert!”
“If it was the secular world, it will definitely cause chaos. A pity, however…”
With a look of contempt, Leylin flung the gold sand back onto the ground.
To magicians, only the magic crystals, the ingredients which could stimulate the spiritual force and the various advanced information was considered to be the real currency!
As for the gold belonging the secular world, apart from its uses as an ingredient, it was no different from regular metals.
Moreover, the Golden Desert was situated inside the Great Canyon Margaret, an area forbidden to regular humans. To traverse it also required the employment of the highly expensive Seated Lupin Wolves.
Thinking of the cost of excavation would already frighten the kings in many dukedoms!
Leylin only felt some pity regarding the golden sand, but he very soon regained his composure.
The A.I. Chip’s detection had been activated by him all along as his eyes surveyed the surroundings. In the Golden Desert, one must always be on alert.
The six giant, icy-blue wolves seemed to be six small boats in the Golden Desert as they continuously plodded on.
After the sky gradually darkened, the temperature in the desert also dropped.
At this moment, the Seated Lupin Wolf gave off warmth; their furs also turned back to black, as if storing the heat from day time.
“Today, I shall stand guard during the night!”
After Leylin had built his tent, an official Magus present among them all, said so.
There was a total of 6 in the group. Leylin, Lancey, the old leader, and the huge bloke and two others who remained silent most of the time. The one who spoke was one of these two.
These two Magi had grey robes on at all times, and seldom spoke. Their personality was also extremely antisocial. Up till now, Leylin managed to exchange two sentences with only one of the two.
“We will count on you!” Lancey did not look too good, her face appeared tired as she went into her tent.
During the day, she had used her spiritual force to scan the surroundings for any activity going on. Now, she urgently needed to rest and meditate to recover her spiritual force.
As Leylin had the A.I. Chip to help with his tasks, his mental state was still doing fine. Yet he still put on a false impression of being weary.
“Are you not going to rest awhile?” Leylin appeared in front of one of those official Magi and casually spoke to him.
“I need not rest. I have these. Come out, my little babies!”
The Magus on night duty gave a deep laughter as his pair of arms performed a strange gesture.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* A layer of Earth element particles continued to emanate from his body.
