The group concealed their forms and quietly descended from the courtyard skywell, while simultaneously each pressed a night vision charm to their bodies.
Directly beneath the skywell, layers of bones buried under the yellow sand, both from the demon beasts and the Human Clan. A gigantic locust, as big as an average human, sprawled regally on a pile of these bones. Its body was a reddish-yellow, with two scythe-shaped antennae swaying atop its head, casting a faint green gleam along the blade edge.
Meanwhile, on the deep cavern's stone walls, water continually oozed out, slowly accumulating downwards to form a clear spring. Beside the springwater grew seven or eight pale white flowers, six of which had matured, emitting an extremely rich medicinal fragrance.
The pale white flowers were known as Sand Spring Flower, a unique Spirit Grass in the Black Wind Desert and a main ingredient for Core Formation Stage elixir Spring Eruption Pill.
