After solving the problem of the sandscorpions, the trio did not encounter any other creatures along their journey in the Desert. Xuan Ning no longer felt lively . Sha Ya looked pale, perhaps from all the vomiting. Ye Chong could tell that Sha Ya was afraid of him. It was not the first time people looked at him this way. Every time he used alchemy, people would be afraid of him. He was used to it already.
Ye Chong never minded the silence around him. Sha Ya and Xuan Ning thought the Desert was an uninteresting wasteland, but Ye Chong could study his surroundings with great detail and undivided attention.
They must be arriving in the last drought region of their journey. Some of the rocks on the ground would sparkle with a metallic luster. There were more metal ores here. Ye Chong could see that most of them were low quality metal ores. Unless he had access to good extraction technologies, the ores would be useless to him.
