Xinxia’s Psychic Spell could only last for another two kiloters, yet they still had another three to four kiloters to go. Didn’t that an they would eventually be surrounded by the White Sand Giants?
Lingling frowned, as she did not expect the path they were taking was straying away from a straight line. The situation suddenly beca extrely tricky.
“Should we just rush out from this place for the last one or two kiloters? We should be safe if we reach the banks. One or two kiloters won’t take us much ti if we run at full speed,” said Zhang Xiaohou.
Mo Fan slapped the back of Zhang Xiaohou’s head and scolded him, “Did you forget what happened just a short ti ago? The White Sand Giants line up like an impenetrable wall. It’s like a sand fortress.”
“That’s true, it’s not realistic to try and barge our way out. We should co up with a plan,” said Zhao Manyan.
“This Drifting Sand River does not have unlimited demon beasts, it’s just that those within a few kiloters will gather rapidly when soone is trespassing into their territory. That ans, if we could sohow bait them to sowhere else, we can proceed on without the Psychic Elent: Pacify Spell for so distance.”
“The problem is, how can we lure them away? Don’t tell we’re simply throwing so bloody organs far away like what Lingling did. I don’t think these White Sand Giants are that stupid...” spoke up Chen Yi.
—————-
After discussion, the group ca up with a plan.
They would send soone fast with high evasion away from the team to wake all the White Sand Demons within a few kiloters, and after the demon beasts were a certain distance away, they would find a way to regroup with that person.
However, the plan was extrely dangerous. The person away from the team would not even have the chance to escape from the surround, and would die a horrible death to the demon beasts.
The group could not think of a better plan. They did not stop moving, as Xinxia’s energy was still being expended. The party had traveled another kiloter. Without a better plan, they had no choice but to let Zhang Xiaohou take the risk.
“I think it’s not feasible to only let a single person be the bait. The guy is dead for sure. Since we’re going to wake up all the White Sand Demons within a few kiloters, we might as well spread them apart. We won’t stand a chance if they gather together, but if we could split them up by letting soone quick kite them around, and soone with high defense to keep them occupied for so ti, and those with high damage can eliminate the White Sand Demons as quick as possible to clear a path. Sister Xinxia’s Psychic Spell can hold so of them off, too; that way, we’ll conserve more of her energy,” said Lingling.
Everyone nodded when they heard the proposal from the party’s brain.
Instead of placing soone’s life in danger as the bait, they preferred to face the situation as a whole by utilizing the party’s strength.
It would be easier for everyone to deal with the White Sand Demons once the Demons were split up, but everyone had their specific role in the plan, and not the slightest mistake could be allowed. If soone died or made a wrong move, the others would most likely suffer the sa fate.
Everyone could only take on a limited number of White Sand Giants at a ti. As a matter of fact, the number of White Sand Giants assigned to each mber of the party had already exceeded their limit.
Either way, the plan was the most achievable one they could think of. The closer they stayed together, the more White Sand Giants were going to appear. Their white sand sabers were too powerful to defend against, unless they were all defensive Magicians.

“I’ll be heading off then. Please keep an eye on the ti. If not, once I wake all the White Sand Giants up, it’s my corpse that you’ll be retrieving,” said Zhang Xiaohou nervously, his forehead covered in sweat while standing at the edge of the party.
Zhao Manyan replied sternly, “Don’t you worry. If that’s what happens, we won’t have the guts to retrieve your corpse, either.”
Zhang Xiaohou secretly gave Zhao Manyan the middle finger.
“Everyone, head to your spots. The White Sand Giants in this area are still being pacified, so you can still move around freely. It will be too late once the effect wears out,” Lingling reminded them.
Xinxia was trying to earn more ti for the party. She raised her hand high up in the air, and when she placed it down, it was the signal that her Psychic Spell’s effect had worn out. At that ti, everyone would have to focus on fighting against the White Sand Giants!
The team was split up into five groups.
Zhang Xiaohou was the furthest away from the rest of the party. Zhao Manyan was around five hundred ters away, while Mo Fan was in the opposite direction from him, around seven hundred ters from Xinxia. As for Chen Yi, she was standing in the direction the party was moving, with Mo Fan’s Swift Star Wolf.
Xinxia and Lingling were right in the middle of everyone. With the Psychic Elent, Xinxia was able to hold a large area of the White Sand Giants off. If anyone from the team could no longer hold their ground, they could move closer to her to guarantee their safety, but it would increase Xinxia’s burden.

“I shouldn’t have co in such a rush. If I waited until I’ve got the armor from Huo Tuo, it would be a lot easier to fight these White Sand Giants,” mumbled Mo Fan, walking across the white sand.
Everyone within a few hundred ters was filled with the white sand. It seed to be clean and elegant, yet when he thought of the countless corpses lying under the ground, and the White Sand Giants that could appear in any second and kill without hesitation, he could feel his hair standing on end!
Mo Fan glanced into the distance, where Zhang Xiaohou was standing. The guy was like a criminal standing on the execution ground waiting for his death, extrely nervous.
After all, they had only co up with the plan, they had no idea if it would work.
Everyone shifted their gazes toward the center, where Xinxia was standing. As Xinxia slowly lowered her hand, they could feel their hearts tightening!
Their breathing slowed down, as they could feel a spasm in their legs, yet it was only the touch of the sand drifting in the wind.
The sun was hanging on the horizon, its last hint of calming rays withdrawing into the darkness. anwhile, Xinxia’s pale and skinny right hand dropped to her side.
Like a goddess of light who had abandoned the land, handing it over to be ruled by evil and slaughter... no one knew what was going to happen next!
