Chapter 1011: Sand Sea
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the sea, there was a special scenery—sand.
Based on what humans knew, sand was extremely common. It was formed by nature after thousands of years or even billions of years.
The sand was extremely fine. If it was magnified a thousand times, the world of sand and stone would be like a dazzling river of stars, extremely beautiful.
However, with more magical things like sand, there would be changes.
At this moment, Han Fei and the others arrived at an underwater sand bed. At least, as soon as Han Fei appeared, his perception spread out for 500 kilometers, and everything was sand and stone.
At the bottom of the sea, there was a waterfall known as the Sandfall.
There was nothing special about this in itself. There were no less than ten sand waterfalls in the periphery of the Scattered Stars Island. As water would pour down in a waterfall, sand poured down in a sandfall.
However, for ordinary sandfalls, the flow wasn’t very large.
The moment everyone recognized their surroundings, Jiuyin Ling said, “Do we just ignore those people outside?”
Han Fei explained, “Yes! Because of some balance, they can’t attack us now. If it’s a Hidden Fisher, he won’t be a match for us. If it’s a law enforcer, he won’t dare to attack us. This time, their goal is to anger us and lure us into the Star River, where they might set a trap for us.”
Jiuyin Ling’s eyes turned slightly cold. “Shameless.”
Han Fei said casually, “We won’t go to the Star River for the time being. We can’t give them a chance. They probably can’t control the three Holy Lands. When the time comes, we’ll go to the three Holy Lands directly.”
Luo Xiaobai said, “Let’s check the environment first! There’s something under the sand.”
There was a kind of withered yellow seaweed here. Therefore, Luo Xiaobai immediately sensed something through the spiritual plants here.
Han Fei scanned it and said simply, “There are a small number of Mess Swallowing Worms. However, they should be stronger than the ones in the level-three fishery. There aren’t many of them, and sh.e.l.ls are almost extinct here. I’m afraid there are large creatures here.”
Almost at the same time, Han Fei and the others said, “Sand Silkworm?”
Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “It’s different from the sandworms we know. Don’t forget that the sandworm we saw last time lived in the undersea forest. Although there’s sand there, it’s mostly mud caves.”
Han Fei said, “Apart from the Sand Silkworms, there’s also a very large fish.”
Jiuyin Ling couldn’t help but look at Han Fei. “I didn’t sense it.”
Han Fei said, “More than 300 kilometers away, there’s a stupid fish growing vertically. Let’s ignore it for now. Since this is a secret realm at the level of a Hidden Fisher, it’s definitely not that simple. Let’s go take a look at what is on the sand.”
Any one of them had the strength to face the law enforcers. Of course, they weren’t afraid of a mere desert.
When the few of them stood on the sand, Zhang Xuanyu struck out with his spear and nailed an ugly Mess Swallowing Worm with a hard carapace.
Zhang Xuanyu said, “It’s not strong, but its body structure is very strange, like sand.”
Han Fei took out his fis.h.i.+ng rod and hooked it out. It pierced through the air and appeared more than 2,000 meters away. With a wave of his hand, he pulled out the Mess Swallowing Worm.
Being more than thirty meters long didn’t mean that it was powerful. Even ordinary Mess Swallowing Worms were more than thirty meters long.
When Han Fei pulled the Mess Swallowing Worm closer, he found that the particles on the carapace were obvious, as if a layer of crystalline sand had been applied to it.
At that moment, the Mess Swallowing Worm’s long body was twisting in the seawater as sand constantly fell.
Information appeared in Han Fei’s eyes.
Sandworm
Sand-eating worms. Sandworms like to eat rare gems and crystals in gravel. By refining these gems and crystals, their bodies are strengthened. They are often buried in sand, and adult sandworms are 30 meters long. There are sand thorns in their bodies, and their joints can be broken, allowing their bodies to be disa.s.sembled. Splitting growth is the basic ability of sandworms to survive.

Le Renkuang frowned and said, “I hate bugs.”
Li Luoluo rushed over. “I like bugs.”
Li Luoluo pinched the sandworm’s body with one hand and crushed one of its scales.
She said, “This sandworm’s sh.e.l.l is very hard. It feels like it’s about to reach the level of an advanced spiritual weapon.”
Han Fei casually slashed out a saber beam and cut the sandworm into two.
Each of the half-broken worm bodies rapidly grew a ferocious head and began to escape.
Pa! Pa!
Luo Xiaobai grabbed the two sandworms with her vines and asked in puzzlement, “They can split into two living beings?”
Han Fei shrugged and said, “It should be its characteristic. I’ll try cutting it a few more times.”
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
In the blink of an eye, the Mess Swallowing Worm was chopped into eight pieces. To everyone’s surprise, the eight pieces were all alive, but their levels had dropped.
Han Fei cut again and found that even though the sandworm was cut into twenty pieces, it was still alive. It went from one creature to twenty creatures.
“Boom!”
Han Fei smashed the twenty sandworms with a punch. This time, these sandworms were truly dead.
At this moment, Luo Xiaobai grabbed dozens of colorful stones.
Li Luoluo reached out and grabbed all the stones. “This color is really nice.”
Luo Xiaobai said, “I roughly understand. The Mess Swallowing Worms here can split infinitely. Unless they are completely crushed, they will split more and more. However, these Mess Swallowing Worms won’t split themselves, or it’s not time for them to split yet.”
Han Fei smiled. “It’s not strong anyway. It’s even weaker after splitting.”
Luo Xiaobai shook her head and said, “No, I can sense the aura of a spiritual plant from this Mess Swallowing Worm.”
Just as Luo Xiaobai finished speaking, there were several loud bangs. Five to six withered yellow vines suddenly emerged from the sand.
Li Luoluo jumped out with a whoosh. In midair, a few colorful worms appeared and with a flash, Li Luoluo returned to Han Fei’s side.
Li Luoluo screamed, “What’s that? I didn’t sense it.”
Luo Xiaobai said, “A spiritual plant, a Purple Bamboo spiritual plant that can have consciousness.”
At this moment, as soon as the spiritual plant appeared, it pounced at Han Fei and the others.
Han Fei casually slashed out. With a ding, he felt a huge resistance. Although he had cut off a section of it, he felt this thing was extremely hard.
Luo Xiaobai said, “Catch it.”
Han Fei said, “No, let’s go down to see its body.”
Luo Xiaobai was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Truly, the talented were bold. This spiritual plant was obviously extraordinary. Han Fei actually wanted to let the spiritual plant pull them over.
With Han Fei’s reminder, no one stopped him. However, when the vine tentacle reached out to Luo Xiaobai, it suddenly began to shrink rapidly.
Luo Xiaobai’s expression changed slightly. “It wants to run.”
Han Fei immediately flashed out and grabbed the vine. Pressing it down with the Law of Gravity, he shouted, “Come on, pull it out.”
Jiuyin Ling and Li Luoluo were dumbfounded. Is this the style of the Thug Academy?
The spiritual plant had already hidden far away, but these people still wanted to pull it out?
At this moment, information appeared in Han Fei’s eyes.
Jade-Eating Demonic Vine
This is a strange creature in the sea of sand. It likes to eat jade essence and is extremely resilient and powerful. It can reach the strength of two waves and is good at las.h.i.+ng and binding. Jade-eating Demon Vines give birth to jade essence that can be used to forge divine weapons.

Jade Essence
When Han Fei saw the message, he was stunned. A level-58 creature with the strength of two waves had such great strength? No wonder it took him some effort to drag it without using any secret techniques.
Indeed, the secret realm was even more dangerous than he imagined. If an ordinary peak-level Hidden Fisher with a strength of 8 million catties was here, he wouldn’t be able to defeat the Jade-eating Demon Vine.
Because the vines had many tentacles!
At this moment, dozens of vines slapped across the sky. Han Fei sneered and slashed with his saber beam, breaking all the vines.
At this moment, Luo Xiaobai grabbed the vine with one hand. Her eyes turned white as she attempted to control it.
In a moment, the six of them pulled out a huge sand pit without using any secret techniques. Luo Xiaobai’s level was higher than the jade-eating demonic vine, so she had already succeeded in controlling it to crawl out.
A moment later, everyone saw a huge root that looked like an old tree root appear on the sand. Fifty to sixty large tentacles and countless small tentacles were swaying with the waves.
Han Fei curled his lips and said, “That’s it? Heh, there must be more than one here.”
Jiuyin Ling said, “Look, this tree has already turned into jade. Don’t tell me it raised those Mess Swallowing Worms?”
Han Fei nodded. “It’s very likely. This means that there are far more Jade-Eating Demonic Vines like this in the desert.”
Luo Xiaobai came back to her senses and said, “There’s indeed more than one spiritual plant here. Through it, I can sense that in the middle of this sea of sand, there’s still the biggest one. It might have reached the law enforcer level.”
Zhang Xuanyu grinned and said, “So what? Can’t the six of us defeat a law enforcer-level spiritual plant?”
Luo Xiaobai thought for a moment and said, “There’s no need. To us, defeating it doesn’t mean much.”
Han Fei nodded. “We don’t lack resources now. A battle at this level is meaningless. Let’s go out! Let’s split all the Star Beads. After dealing with the dangers in some low-level secret realms, we’ll throw them to Xing Yue and company. After dealing with them, let’s go take a look at the ruins.”
Luo Xiaobai couldn’t help but look at Han Fei. “How many ruins are there?”
Han Fei said, “Eighteen.”
“Wow…”
