Chapter 1566: Chapter 868: Dark Core (3)

Because what lies before them is not unfamiliar for Mo Jiuli, whereas for Little Lingling and Qiuqiu, it’s something entirely new—it’s a vast desert! Mo Jiuli, whose soul came from the 21st century, was naturally familiar with deserts…

The place where they were standing was somewhat cold and shadowy, but just a step forward and they would be entering the scorching desert. Mo Jiuli could almost feel the heat waves coming at her, making her feel quite irritable…

“Welcome to the second round of the Dark Earth’s core. The time to clear this round is one month. Within this month, the water and food before you will be your lifeline, as all storage rings cannot be used! Meanwhile, the spiritual energy within your body will be sealed. In other words, for this month, you are just an ordinary person, with no spiritual energy or assistance, and you’ll have to pass through using only your feet! The rules state that you need to kill 500 Demon Beasts in this second round to succeed! However… because you have two pet beasts with you, their presence will also be counted as part of the requirement. Thus, you must kill 2,500 Demon Beasts without spiritual power within a month to pass! In this round, you have two chances to restart if you fail. If all three attempts fail, you will be permanently trapped in the second round until your soul disperses! Good luck…” After the voice disappeared, Mo Jiuli’s expression turned extremely grim.

Because the voice was extremely familiar to her—it was the same distant voice she heard when she first woke up.

If Mo Jiuli was uncertain before, now she was absolutely sure the other party was gloating…

“Master, what on earth is this?” Qiuqiu said speechlessly.

“Yeah, Mom, why does it feel so hot up ahead?” Little Lingling also exclaimed with a frown.

“It’s the desert ahead; don’t worry, we’ll definitely get through it!” Mo Jiuli replied.

Then, holding Qiuqiu and Little Lingling, she stepped forward, but as soon as Mo Jiuli took two steps, she felt the scorching heat. A package appeared before them. Little Lingling went over to pick it up and handed it to Mo Jiuli, who opened it and couldn’t help but twitch her lips violently.

Inside the package was a gourd, which appeared to be a Holy Artifact Level space container, filled with water. Under normal circumstances, this gourd of water would be enough. But in this blistering desert, even several gourds of water might not suffice…

Besides the gourd, there was also a box, another Holy Artifact Level space container, packed full of pastries…

Internally, Mo Jiuli cursed the person who spoke earlier eighteen hundred times. Pastries? Giving her pastries in such hot weather was clearly a way to waste water…

Mo Jiuli looked down at her feet, feeling the heat rising from underground. If she remembered correctly, this kind of desert was full of countless poisonous insects and snakes, and if she was unfortunate enough to encounter quicksand or a sandstorm without spiritual power to help, it would be nearly impossible to survive…

Mo Jiuli couldn’t help but twitch her lips and internally tried to contact the little book: “Little book, little book?”

“Master,
