The Poison Sand Dunes are located at the edge of the Wind Sound Ancient Clan.
They connect with the largest desert in Qian State.
Thus, the entire Poison Sand Dunes are a barren wasteland.
The name of the Poison Sand Dunes comes from the many poisonous insects lurking within, hence they are called Poison Sand Dunes.
Being remote, coupled with the danger of poisonous insects, the Poison Sand Dunes remain devoid of human presence most of the year.
No one lives within a hundred-mile radius.
A gentle breeze blows by, lifting the sand off the surface of the Poison Sand Dunes, scattering it beneath Qin Chen's feet.
He gazes at the boundless desert, furrowing his brow slightly.
"The map only marks the location as the Poison Sand Dunes, but given the vastness of these dunes, how do we search?"
The desert is the hardest place to leave any traces.
A breeze would erase everything.
Ji Tian said, "It's possible Shishi is really being held here because it's so remote, no ordinary person would think of it."
From the sand, a green poisonous insect crawls out, attempting to climb onto Ji Tian's leg, but it is instantly killed by the aura emanating from his leg.
Upon death, the insect turns into a puddle of green liquid, melting the sand around it.
"This place is truly no good," Ji Tian frowned.
Qin Chen said, "We can only search progressively."
He cannot use Telekinesis, otherwise, he would surely alert all the poisonous insects hidden within the dunes.
Of course, these insects pose no threat to the three of them.
Qin Chen fears that any disturbance might alert the Gu Clan if Wang Shishi is truly being held here.
"Alright,"
Ji Tian and Qin Qi nodded in agreement.
Though this dune is troubling, the lead was hard-won.
Moreover, it's for Shishi.
Even if they have to turn the dunes upside down, they'll find Wang Shishi.
The three of them enter the Poison Sand Dunes.
A giant-eyed bird flies overhead.
In the depths of the dunes.
Several people in disguise are lurking here.
"The giant-eyed bird has sent word, they've spotted the three of them,"
Said a square-faced man, a scar running down his left cheek, giving him a fierce appearance.
"They won't expect it, what's waiting for them is a trap. Is everything prepared?"
Wang Yan sneered.
Wang Yan is one of the strongest under the Thirteen Elders, with Seventh Realm Cultivation of the Tribulation Transformation Realm.
In truth, the Thirteen Elders never actually sought out the location of Wang Shishi for Qin Chen.
Instead, they've set an ambush in the Poison Sand Dunes.
Awaiting the arrival of Qin Chen and the others.
The reason is simple.
The Thirteen Elders never intended to truly seek information about Wang Shishi for Qin Chen and the others.
They casually agreed at the time.
Because they didn't believe Qin Chen and the others could achieve anything.
But what they didn't expect was.
Qin Chen and the others achieved it.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, the Thirteen Elders led Qin Chen and the others to the Poison Sand Dunes, with the intent to silently eliminate them.
People in positions of power are extremely mindful of their reputations.
Even though he believes Qin Chen and company could not harm him in anger, he cannot tolerate any errors.
"Everything is ready. According to the plan, they should reach the trap in an hour," someone said.
Wang Yan said, "The sooner we finish, the sooner we return for drinks. This ghostly place has nothing but poisonous insects. If not for the Thirteen Elders' orders, I would never come here."
"Yes!"
Everyone behind him responded in unison.
Speaking of Qin Chen.
Despite having some suspicion.
They are still earnestly searching for Wang Shishi.
"These dunes are truly vast, and we can't find any trace," Ji Tian lamented.
Suddenly, Qin Chen halted: "Do you smell something?"
Ji Tian and Qin Qi were startled, then sniffed carefully, Ji Tian said, "There really might be an odd smell."
Qin Qi said, "Brother, this place is swarming with poisonous insects. Isn't it normal to smell something odd?"
Qin Chen shook his head: "Strange, this smell doesn't seem right."
"Boom!"
Just as he'd finished speaking.
The ground began to shake.
As if something beneath the surface was about to emerge.
"Watch out!"
Qin Chen quickly grabbed Qin Qi and Ji Tian, dodging to the side.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The next moment, large-sized fat worms broke through the sandy dunes from beneath.
Covered in sand, each is roughly ten meters long, varying in color.
Their eyes resembled snails, extending protruding stalks each with a single eye.
But at this moment, their eyes were blood-red, as if under some spell.
"They're Poison Sand Fat Worms!"
Qin Chen's face changed: "Poison Sand Fat Worms live under the desert, very lazy, rarely actively attacking humans."
"That peculiar smell must have drawn them out!"
Coincidence?
Qin Chen felt it wasn't so simple.
And indeed, Qin Chen guessed right.
The strange smell was a special concoction the Pharmacist Wang Yan and others prepared.
The scent of this concoction greatly stimulated the Poison Sand Fat Worms.
Knowing there was a group of Poison Sand Fat Worms beneath, they set the trap here, intending to use them to kill Qin Chen and company.
"Puff!"
A tan Poison Sand Fat Worm writhed its massive body, opened its mouth, and sprayed a tan liquid at Qin Qi.
"Careful! The poison liquid from the Poison Sand Fat Worm can muddle the mind, induce illusions, and cause brain death, turning one into a human vegetable,"
Qin Chen urgently warned.
Just as Qin Qi planned to charge forward and punch the Poison Sand Fat Worm, he backed away like avoiding the plague upon hearing this.
"Splash."
The tan poison liquid fell on the sand like a rain of fire, rising into white steaming vapors.
Under a dead tree nearby, Wang Yan watched Qin Chen and company surrounded by Poison Sand Fat Worms, grinning sinisterly.
"Half a year ago, a caravan camped here at night and was suddenly attacked by Poison Sand Fat Worms, none escaped,"
"This caravan had more than thirty Tribulation Transformation experts, including five ultra-powerful Seventh Realm masters, none survived,"
"Which means, if I faced this attack alone from the Poison Sand Fat Worms, I would surely die, they cannot escape."
Wang Yan sneered.
"Someone!"
Applying the Little Void Breaking Technique, Qin Chen, with his keen vision, immediately spotted Wang Yan and his group.
Recalling the sudden emergence of the Poison Sand Fat Worms.
Qin Chen instantly understood the situation!
