It was a coincidence, but in a sense, it was also inevitable.
Since this place is very close to Aaru Village, if they wanted to find a place to rest, they would definitely choose this place.
"Huh, Xavier, why are you with Dehya?" Kaveh asked curiously when he saw Dehya and Xavier together.
Xavier recounted his entire experience, and everyone was incredibly surprised.
"Oh my goodness, to be captured and taken back to the cave, that's too dangerous!"
Collei covered her small mouth, unable to imagine how they escaped from the Scarab Brute.
Alhaitham and the others were right; Xavier is truly powerful.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to return safely under such circumstances and bring back Furina.
"Oh? Is this the friend you're looking for? He looks quite ordinary."
A strange voice came through the crowd, and Xavier realized that this person was Candace.
Her heterochromatic eyes and dark skin were simply too striking.
Dehya asked loudly, "Candace, why are you also judging people by their appearance?"
Candace smiled slightly and said, "I'm just making a joke; I don't want the atmosphere to be too tense."
She walked forward and extended her hand to Xavier: "Hello, I'm Candace. It seems I don't need to introduce myself; you already have some understanding of me, right?"
Furina was quick to answer: "Of course! Xavier already knew all about you in allogene!"
"Although Kaveh and the others told me about allogene, I still find it a bit bizarre."
Xavier could understand; if it were him, he would surely have the same doubts.
Suddenly remembering something, Xavier immediately said, "Oh, right, these are the sand-proof materials for your village. It's best to have people put them up now."
Xavier pulled the materials out of his spatial storage all at once, and the scene stunned everyone.
Even the villagers watching from the side widened their eyes, their jaws dropping.
"Oh my goodness, is this the power from a Liyue immortal? I've heard about it!"
"I'm sure it is. I heard those immortals can hide a small world in a tiny lake."
The villagers speculated that this was a magical power from an ancient land.
The Serenitea Pot is very powerful, but compared to Xavier's abilities, there's still a gap.
"So much!" Seeing these materials, Candace was overjoyed. "With these materials, Aaru Village will no longer be corroded by sandstorms. This is great! Thank you, Xavier!"
Dehya claimed credit: "You should thank me too, because I worked hard to get these from Xavier."
"Alright then, thank you."
"Hey, why are you so perfunctory when saying thank you?"
"With the relationship between us two, you still want me to say thank you? That's too formal."
"This is basic courtesy and etiquette, do you understand..."
For some reason, Dehya and Candace started bickering inexplicably.
Having finally arrived in the village, Xavier naturally wanted to experience the local customs and traditions.
Amidst the villagers' warm hospitality, Xavier tasted the unique food and drinks of the Sumeru Desert.
"Ah~ That's good!"
Taking a big gulp, Xavier felt utterly satisfied.
It was then that Xavier remembered a crucial matter and extended his hand to Hu Tao, saying, "Hu Tao, where's my stuff?"
Hu Tao's eyes darted, and she feigned ignorance: "What stuff?"
"Stop pretending with me, where's my phone?"
"Oh, it's just your phone! I was just about to give it back to you!"
After saying that, Hu Tao handed the phone to Xavier, and as Xavier expected, the phone was indeed off.
Well, verifying this kind of thing was pointless.
Xavier, of course, didn't know that his phone being off caused fans on the other side of the Blue Star to lament.
Because Xavier's phone turned off mid-stream, that feeling of being cut off was quite uncomfortable.
But this was also good; at least his next actions wouldn't require streaming, so he wouldn't need to be concerned.
"Everyone, time waits for no one. Let's set off quickly!"
After resting, Xavier set off again.
Although he still had over ten hours, which was ample time, who could guarantee that no accidents would occur?
For example, Furina might unluckily be captured by a Scarab Brute again, or another sandstorm might appear.
Alhaitham was the first to stand up and say, "Let's go, we should head to the Wind-Eroded Sandworm now."
"Why? Can't we go to the Anemo Hypostasis first?"
Kaveh felt that the other party was targeting him and was very displeased.
Alhaitham replied without turning his head, "Firstly, your current condition has recovered somewhat, so going to the Anemo Hypostasis first is not the correct choice."
"Damn it, if you're going to say that, be careful, I'll faint right in front of you immediately."
"If that's your hobby, I have no comment, but even if you faint in front of us, I still recommend going to the Wind-Eroded Sandworm first."
"Why? Give me a reason!"
"Because the Wind-Eroded Sandworm has a huge impact on the environment, while the Anemo Hypostasis does not. That's the reason."
"I..."
Kaveh was speechless for a moment. From that perspective, his own matters seemed less important.
Moreover, others also seemed to agree with Alhaitham's idea.
There was nothing he could do; Kaveh ultimately had to compromise and head to the location of the Wind-Eroded Sandworm first.
This time, Xavier didn't waste any more time, using his abilities to carry everyone through the air.
"Oh my goodness, this is too convenient! I wish I could fly too."
Collei cast an envious gaze; this was much more useful than Amber's wind glider.
Amber's wind glider could only fly by borrowing wind, and it was useless on flat ground.
But Xavier's ability allowed him to fly in any environment, and he could even block sandstorms.
This not only saved a lot of time but also avoided harassment and sneak attacks from monsters in the Desert.
Not long after, everyone saw the Wind-Eroded Sandworm's lair.
The Wind-Eroded Sandworm's lair was located underground.
Around its lair, the sand continuously flowed downwards like a waterfall.
And the Wind-Eroded Sandworm's lair was clearly much deeper than Xavier had anticipated.
Even in the incredibly sunny Desert area, it still looked pitch black from there.
This indicated that the cave was incredibly deep and also showcased the power of this monster.
Kokomi couldn't help but raise a question: "By the way, how big is a Wind-Eroded Sandworm? Is it really that dangerous?"
From the name, it was just a bug.
No matter how big a bug was, it would probably only be a few meters long and shouldn't be too difficult to deal with.
But Kokomi's idea was completely wrong.
