"A day is enough to get the cactus. With your system, it's easy isn't it?" Chi Tian rolled her eyes in annoyance when the AI began lecturing her about how important it was to stick to the plan. She also didn't plan to abandon her plan halfway but she just wanted to enjoy the view here!
This AI sure is annoying.
"Of course with my help, it will be easy to locate the cactus but I can't help with anything that may block your way to get it. I heard that there's a sand monster in this desert. It's one of the strongest sacred beasts in legend"
The AI coldly reminded Chi Tian that his help wasn't that omnipotent. He couldn't do anything to help Chi Tian if she faced trouble. Especially against this legendary sacred beast. People said that the guardian of this desert continent...was a Sphinx!
Its strength was definitely on par with 4 sacred beasts at once. So far, this sacred beast was the strongest sacred beast on the land. This sphinx was like Kraken who was unbeatable underwater and griffin who was unbeatable in the air.
No beasts except mythological beast could beat this sphinx on the land!
"I know this beast is very strong but I never intended to beat it with strength. Just see, I have my own plan" Chi Tian looked outside the carriage again with a subtle smile on her face. Now she knew she was a translator...how could she just stay silent about it?
She could make a lot of useful talismans to get the cactus!

"We will arrive at the desert continent tomorrow," Jiu Wei told Li Shi Ying and the others when they stopped to get a brief rest. The man had predicted that they would arrive tomorrow so he decided to tell the group.
"Tomorrow? That's fast. What should we prepare?" Li Shi Ying raised one of her eyebrows in interest. She never saw a genuine desert so she was waiting to get the chance to see it with her own two eyes.
Still, desert wasn't as safe as it looked like. She had to keep her guard up for anything that might harm her just like the case with the mosquito back in the pegasus country, who would have thought such a small insect could make her sick for 3 whole days?
"First we need a veil to cover our face. The sand there is very dangerous. It can get inside your skin and ruin your skin in a matter of time" Jiu Wei spoke with a serious face. The first trouble they had to face wasn't the temperature nor the lack of water but the harmless-looking sand!
A lot of people died because of the sand without realizing that they died only because of the sand.
"Alright, a veil...I have one the others can buy it tomorrow. Any others?" Li Shi Ying nodded her head and asked Jiu Wei if he got anything else to say. She was sure that there were a lot of things they needed to know before entering the desert continent.
"Next issue is the temperature. The desert continent can be a living hell, especially in summer so please wear clothes with a long sleeve to avoid getting your skin burned." Jiu Wei looked at both Li Shi Ying and Long Ao Zhen with a hint of worry in his eyes.
He bet it would be uncomfortable to wear long sleeves when the temperature around was so high but they didn't have any choices left if they wanted to survive in the desert.
"Okay, I won't wear short-sleeved clothes. The next issue must be water right? If it's water we have a lot of it with the help of Haí Yao and my talisman so…" Li Shi Ying promised Jiu Wei that she would obey.
The girl then waited for the next thing Jiu Wei wanted to say. Unlike most people entering the desert, water wasn't a problem for them. Haí Yao ability made him able to create water out of nothing and Li Shi Ying herself could just create a talisman to produce water or something similar to it.
"The last thing we should keep an eye about is...the guardian of the desert. A Sphinx!" Jiu Wei subconsciously shuddered when he mentioned 'Sphinx'. He had heard a lot of story about this Sphinx and couldn't help but got a shiver down his spine every time he heard it.
"Sphinx? Does it truly exist?? Unbelievable!" Li Shi Ying covered her mouth with her eyes widened. She couldn't believe that sphinx exists in this world. But thinking back...even griffin, kraken and vampire exists...Sphinx might as well exist too!
"Yes it exists and this sphinx can be said to be the Queen of the land. It's the only female sacred beast that can beat 4 sacred beasts all at once! Legend said that it even has immunity toward the mythological beast aura." Jiu Wei recalled the ice eagle they met back then in the Dong Xi Academy and couldn't help but thank his luck for seducing a rather good sacred beast.
If all female sacred beasts were like this Sphinx...he won't be able to marry any of them right? Let's go back and find that ice eagle once his mistress collected all the herb she needed! He can't let another male stole that valuable wife candidate from him.
"This one is a female? Wow…" Li Shi Ying once again was amazed by this sphinx. This sphinx...is a female beast!
