World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Three days later, within an oasis in the desert.

A group of eighty-seven Phantom Spirit People frantically rushed into the woodland, inserting their hair into the water source, gulping down the nutrients of life.

Just as they had guessed, they were lost in this wilderness, not only failing to find the Transmission Crystal to leave the planet, but almost dying here due to depleted supplies.

Fortunately, at the last moment, they finally got lucky and discovered this small oasis, allowing them to replenish their Energy just in time.

But speaking of which, on this Yellow Sand Planet, apart from the harsh living conditions of the desert, there were hardly any other areas to be seen.

Unless they managed to find a place rich with underground resources like before, they could establish a camp for long-term survival; otherwise, any other area would lead to slow Death.

This is why everyone is still searching for that Crystal; with the Crystal, they can at least use primary Teleport to randomly change positions on the planet, avoiding getting trapped in a certain area.

There’s just one frustrating detail: the Insect Race has already invaded this planet, and a place rich in underground resources also means a higher probability of Insects appearing, making survival even harder.

"Yadun, maybe we should just stay here for now. The resource reserves here look good; we should first establish a camp, let the warriors catch their breath, and then plan once everyone recovers and the nutrient reserves are more plentiful."

Sarah suggested to Yadun.

After pondering for a moment, he agreed that her suggestion made sense and was about to nod in agreement when suddenly, a companion hurriedly ran over, saying:

"Yadun! Come quickly! We’ve found something incredible!"

The person looked anxious, sweat dripping from their body, clearly very frightened.

A foreboding feeling suddenly rose in Yadun’s heart, and abandoning his conversation with Sarah, he ran out to follow.

Upon arriving at the destination, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face turning stiff as he stared at the scene before him, his voice trembling:

"Sand, sand worm... this is a sand worm..."

In front, beneath a sand dune, a gigantic corpse lay sprawling.

It was approximately three hundred meters long, thirty meters wide, huge in size, covered entirely in yellow carapace adorned with spikes, with a round mouth full of sharp teeth at its head, just looking at it would send shivers down one’s spine.

However, now, this ferocious giant beast was already dead, its carapace battered, flesh and blood devoured, leaving only a massive skeleton lying in the desert.

"Don’t worry, Yadun, it’s already dead."

Zeroda came over, his scouting team was the first to discover the target and had been keeping watch nearby.

Upon hearing his friend’s reassurance, Yadun’s expression did not relax a bit but instead turned even more grim.

"No, Zeroda, I’m not worried about the sand worm itself... Look at its wounds, don’t they seem familiar? Think again, what creature on this planet could kill a fully grown sand worm?"

Upon hearing these words, Zeroda’s face suddenly became grave, he carefully approached the sand worm and observed again, his expression becoming even more serious.

"It’s alien insects... These wounds were made by alien insects..." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Zeroda bowed his head, realizing that the trouble for everyone was now bigger.

Sand worms are the Dominator Level creatures on this Yellow Sand Planet; no creature can threaten them except the newly invading alien insects.

Everyone immediately tensed up, and Yadun hurriedly organized everyone to pack up, preparing to retreat.

Originally they had planned to catch their breath here first, but now, the plan certainly wouldn’t work. This underground must be the nest of the Insect Race by now.

"Careful! There are alien insects underground, we can’t run in one direction, we must disrupt our steps, otherwise the rhythmic footsteps will attract their attention and let them know there are living beings here!"

Yadun warned the group.

Immediately, he took the lead in initiating action.

He used steps that looked strange, taking two steps forward, one step back, constantly circling around, like doing some kind of peculiar dance, making progress very slowly.

However, the others did not dare to complain, because they knew this seemingly bizarre way was the only method currently available to walk on the sand.

During their encounters with the alien insects, they gradually summarized some strategies against the Insect Race, of which this method, called "Return Step," was one.

Among the alien insects, there is a dreadfully terrifying Tunneling Worm, its size is no less than the sand worm, perhaps even bigger.

It might be that the hearing system of the Tunneling Worm is extremely sensitive, or perhaps they possess corresponding Spiritual Energy, whatever the reason, they can hear even the slightest sounds and vibrations from several hundred meters above ground.

Especially the footsteps of this creature’s movement generally follow very regular patterns, like beaconing to the insects, signaling them there’s prey here, quickly come up and capture us.
