Free Web NovelMingxi’s guess was correct; Yue Ling Suiwan was indeed suspecting if Mingxi had died as soon as she entered.
She was currently sitting cross-legged within a semi-circular defensive barrier, which was divided into nine distinct color blocks.
These nine color blocks represented one-tenth of the energy converted from the total harvest of the nine support offerings over these four days.
However, among the nine blocks, there was none belonging to Mingxi.
She even disregarded the dumbfounded expressions of the other candidate successors, kneeling on the ground and prying at the seams at the bottom of the defensive barrier, terrified of missing even a trace of purple!
Yet, there was nothing!
There was no purple energy feedback representing Mingxi, the support offering!
“...She couldn’t have died. If she had died, that Gu Guai Zhen Guan would have gone berserk long ago, but there’s been no sound yet. So, does she have no harvest at all?
But it’s been a full four days. She couldn’t possibly have /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ failed to even get a single wild fruit, could she?”
The lowest standard for resource conversion was ordinary wild fruits, containing no energy. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Although the defensive energy that could be converted was minuscule, a mosquito’s leg is still meat.
Now, there wasn’t even a mosquito’s leg.
If Mingxi wasn’t dead, what kind of despairingly unlucky person must she be?
Candidate successors would not know the types of blessings and Curses randomly obtained by support offerings; communication within the Mystic Ground was inherently impossible.
Especially under these special assessment conditions.
“Ow... Jie jie...”
Watching the monsters outside the defensive barrier, clawing and constantly pouncing, attempting to destroy the barrier, Yue Ling Suiwan took a deep breath, re-energized herself, and commanded her Beast Tamers to resume fighting.
But the confusion and disappointment in her eyes were almost overflowing.
Meanwhile, the Mingxi who was causing this disappointment was currently howling at the sky:
“Oh, heavens! Even a quicksand pit would be good!”
Yes, she had wandered in this Mi Gu Desert for four days and hadn’t even stepped into quicksand. Initially, she walked cautiously, fearing she would fall into quicksand.
Later, she found that this place, let alone quicksand, didn’t even offer a chance to leave anyone alive.
Finally, Mingxi started walking freely, and nothing happened.
Perhaps the heavens heard her heartfelt plea, and after another day, the lonely unlucky Mingxi suddenly felt her feet sink.
“Eh?”
She quickly grabbed the Bright Crystal from her head and hugged it tightly, looking at her continuously sinking body with a very astonished expression.
“Is this me having a jinx, or is it a word of power?”
“Guwo?”
Do you want me to swallow all this sand for you?
Bright Crystal had also been educated about the threat of quicksand to humans.
Although its feelings for its woman were not deep, she was still its Beast Tamers no matter what.
Moreover, it didn’t want to be jointly beaten down by those Golden Yuanbao guys for not protecting her well.
Those beasts had no martial ethics at all. It was already a bit overwhelmed just dealing with Golden Yuanbao alone, and they actually attacked six against one!
Every time it was when Mingxi, this woman, was training in the gravity chamber!
Insidious, cunning, fierce, malicious.
Mingxi, this foolish woman, always secretly slandered it as a little fierce beast, when clearly those six were.
It infuriates me!
The bond between Mingxi and Bright Crystal was indeed not very deep, so she didn’t sense its current inner vexation.
She thought for a moment, then shook her head, “Let’s see the situation first.”
She had been trapped in this desert for four days, and if she didn’t find a way out soon, she suspected she wouldn’t be able to leave this endless river of yellow sand until the competition ended!
Falling into quicksand was indeed very dangerous, but with Bright Crystal, her life wouldn’t be in danger.
So, what harm was there in taking a risk?
We magnificent adventurers call this being pushed to the brink of death to find life.
“Shasha sha...”
The sand quickly seeped downwards. Mingxi could feel her feet losing their grip more and more, along with a strange pulling force.
“Puff!”
As the sand layer sank faster, the sand quickly submerged Mingxi’s head. She had already put on goggles and portable oxygen tanks for herself and Bright Crystal.
Although after reaching S-level physical ability, she could hold her breath for a long time, if she could cheat, why would she suffer unnecessarily?
Once inside the sand, all that was left in her vision was sand, and her body continued to sink.
She held Bright Crystal tightly, worried that a slight loosening of her grip would separate them forever.
A physically separated forever.
Within the Mystic Ground, there was no need to worry about one’s imagination running too wild; truly anything could happen.
For instance, at this moment, Mingxi quickly noticed a change in the sand around her.
The yellow sand, in the blink of an eye, turned into silver sand!
Her goggles were not ordinary goggles.
They were tools made of Scarlet Jade, although only A-grade, their functions were many times stronger than ordinary goggles.
Not only could they automatically emit light according to the surrounding environment, but they also had functions such as a magnifying glass, microscope, Beast Tamers identifier, geological survey instrument, and basic testing instrument.
This meant that even if she was in darkness now, the goggles could still illuminate everything before her in perfect detail and automatically capture and quickly analyze it.
The analysis results quickly appeared before her eyes:
【E-grade mineral material: moon glass sand】
【D-grade mineral material: moon glass sand】
【A-grade mineral material: moon glass sand】
...
A series of analyses kept popping up.
Mingxi almost dropped the oxygen tank from her mouth!
Was she perhaps sucked into a river of moon glass sand?
moon glass sand, or more accurately, moon glass gold, is a mineral that is neither common nor rare, but its market demand is very high.
Because it is one of the few materials that can carry spatial energy, besides being used to make spatial tools, it is also a main material for building spacecraft.
In other words, no matter how much of this stuff comes, people will want it!
So what are you waiting for?
Collect it!
Mingxi held the bewildered Bright Crystal in her left armpit, while her right hand reached out and began to collect the surrounding flowing silver sand into the spatial ring inlaid with a purple gem.
“Finally, business is open.”
Mingxi exclaimed, feeling the undiminished pressure around her, and sped up her collection, so fast that it formed a small vortex.
This collection lasted for a full hour, but this river of moon glass sand seemed endless, carrying them floating up and down.
Bright Crystal even started to get bored and sleepy.
Besides being responsible for Mingxi’s security, it was determined not to bother with other matters.
If it were any of the Golden Silver Azure Emerald Black Scarlet, they would help collect the moon glass sand into the Time Realm.
But Bright Crystal?
Thanks for the invite.
No thanks.
And at this moment, its half-hearted appearance in the eyes of the six who were closely watching the outside world was simply unforgivable!
Is one group beating enough?
It must be arranged for it three meals a day!
Mingxi was completely unaware of her Beast Tamers’ psychological activities; she was focused on collecting the silver glow before her, like gentle moonlight.

Out with the old, in with the new, may the snake bring good fortune, my dears!

Thank you all for your companionship, I love you! (´∀｀)♡
Although I really want to add more chapters, I truly found that I can’t add even one!
