Change, can't catch up!

The enormous scorpion was evidently taken aback by Bai Li Hongzhuang's unexpected display of strength. However, as it felt the formidable power emanating from her, the scorpion became somewhat surprised and viciously attacked her.

Bai Li Hongzhuang wasn't in a rush to immediately defeat the giant scorpion. Engaging in such a battle allowed her to enhance her strength and gain valuable combat experience.

The three animal companions, observing Bai Li Hongzhuang's intentions, realized that the giant scorpion was no match for their master. Consequently, they exchanged glances and decided to stand by and keep an eye out for any other potential dangers.

Surviving in the desert required endurance against extreme heat and cold, and the desert creatures possessed remarkable fighting capabilities despite their scarce numbers. They were adept at concealing themselves within the desert, making it difficult to guard against potential ambushes. There might be lurking creatures nearby, so they needed to exercise caution.

Boom!

Boom!

Bai Li Hongzhuang engaged in a fierce battle with the giant scorpion. She noticed that the combat style of desert creatures shared some similarities, which she found intriguing.

After a period of intense fighting, Bai Li Hongzhuang realized that she had gained a deep understanding of the giant scorpion's combat patterns. Seizing the opportunity, she unleashed a powerful strike, bringing the scorpion crashing down to the ground.

Upon seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang's victory over the giant scorpion, the three animal companions clapped their paws together with adorable expressions on their faces.

Witnessing this, Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that these three little fellows had become quite skilled at flattery lately!

The White Lion swiftly leaped onto the giant scorpion and skillfully extracted a piece of demonic crystal from it.

Observing White Lion's keen interest in the crystal, Bai Li Hongzhuang frowned and said, "White Lion, we don't know much about this demonic crystal. There might be some side effects, so it's best if you don't consume it for now."

She planned to show the crystal to Di Beichen after the assessment competition. Perhaps he would have some knowledge about it. Alternatively, she could inquire about it from her master. Both of them had extensive experience and might possess some understanding.

Hearing Bai Li Hongzhuang's words, White Lion reluctantly placed the demonic crystal into the Qiankun Bag. Although it was eager to devour it in one gulp, it restrained itself.

Bai Li Hongzhuang and her three animal companions continued their journey, intervening whenever they encountered desert creatures. They would rest whenever they felt tired. Their progress was steady, and they were not moving too slowly, given the limited number of desert creatures in the area.

After a day and a half, Bai Li Hongzhuang and her three animal companions retraced their steps, leaving a mark at the exit. After three full days, they would be able to return, giving them peace of mind.

However, to their surprise, they encountered an unusually high number of desert creatures during their journey back. Despite Bai Li Hongzhuang and her three companions utilizing their full abilities, they found it impossible to return to their original starting point within the designated time.

Little Bai furiously knocked down a nearby creature and his round eyes couldn't hide his anxiety. "We're running out of time. What should we do?"
