#515 - Chapter 514: Boiling Quicksand

"To solve these problems with greater efficiency, starting today, the number of ships searching the Sand Sea will be increased from the original three to ten. Personnel will be reassigned, and the Sand Domain will be re-divided," Zhang Ping shouted loudly.

The crowd remained expressionless, their hearts unmoved, except for one person.

Standing in the ranks, Li Chenqiu kept a straight face, staring intently at the back of the head of the person in front of him, afraid that he would laugh out loud if he wasn't careful.

He had been worried about how to get to the Sand Domain where the Space Ring was located, but now that the number of ships had been increased to ten, the problem was easily solved!

There were only three Eleventh Realm experts here, and with ten ships, it meant that seven ships would not have an Eleventh Realm expert stationed on them. It would be easy for him to control a ship without an Eleventh Realm expert.

Thinking of this, Li Chenqiu silently repeated in his heart: "There must be no Eleventh Realm expert on board, there must be no Eleventh Realm expert on board, there must be no Eleventh Realm expert on board..."

Zhang Ping looked around and, seeing that no one was speaking, continued, "Everyone doesn't need to worry about safety. Each ship has members of our team on board, and they will protect your safety."

After speaking, he turned to look at Hu Quan, who was standing beside him.

Hu Quan opened the folder in his hand, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "We will now assign personnel. Those whose names are called, step forward. Team One, Huo Huo, Wu Qiu, Xu Tianming..."

Li Chenqiu was assigned to the Sixth Team. He was lucky that there was no Eleventh Realm expert stationed in his Sixth Team.

After the personnel were reassigned, Xu Ming, the leader of the Sixth Team, gave a brief speech and then dismissed the team.

After eating with Qi Hai and the others, Li Chenqiu returned to his tent, packed his things in a hurry, and went to the dock to board their respective ships.

At seven o'clock, all the ships left the dock, bathed in the morning sun, and entered the golden Sand Sea according to the established routes.

Li Chenqiu stood on the observation deck, chatting with Qi Hai. The two of them had been assigned to the same ship and even the same position.

"The higher-ups' brains must have been smashed by a door. Since Wang is already gone, what are they still looking for? Do they want to find Wang's excrement left in the Sand Sea and reverse engineer what he ate?" Qi Hai spread his hands, his face full of speechlessness.

Li Chenqiu smiled faintly, "There must be a reason for the higher-ups to do this. They are all big shots in the Eleventh Realm, and they definitely see further than us."

"Maybe... but I don't think they can see very far. Zhang Ping's eyes aren't even as big as mine," Qi Hai muttered in a low voice.

"Indeed, they're not big, like those of the squinting male singer Li Ronghao."

"Brother Tang, you're exaggerating. They're still a little bigger than Li Ronghao's."

After chatting for a while, Li Chenqiu pretended to ask casually, "Xiao Hai, do you think that damned Wang might be hiding in the quicksand?"

"Hiding in the quicksand?" Several large question marks popped up above Qi Hai's head.

"Think about it, we've been searching for two days, but we haven't even found a single hair of Wang's. So there are only two possibilities: either he's not in the Sand Sea at all, or he's been hiding in the quicksand all along. Don't you think so?"

Li Chenqiu said logically.

Qi Hai waved his hand, "Brother Tang, you're talking nonsense. How could Wang hide in the quicksand?"

Li Chenqiu retorted, "Why not? Wang is an Eleventh Realm expert. Maybe the quicksand can't threaten him at all!"

"Brother Tang, you're underestimating the quicksand of this Sand Sea too much. Although Wang is strong and may be able to resist the quicksand, he definitely can't resist it for too long. A few minutes at most, it's impossible for him to hide in the quicksand all the time!"

Qi Hai's tone was very firm.

Li Chenqiu looked puzzled, "You're not Wang, how do you know he can't hide in the quicksand?"

Qi Hai asked, "Brother Tang, what do you think of Zhang Ping's strength compared to Wang's?"

Li Chenqiu stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and replied, "I feel that Zhang Ping's strength is stronger."

"Hehe, Zhang Ping has been in the quicksand, and he couldn't even last a minute before rushing out with a pale face. Now you understand how strong the quicksand is, right, Brother Tang!" Qi Hai raised his eyebrows.

Li Chenqiu's pupils dilated slightly, "Really?"

Qi Hai nodded vigorously, "Of course it's true. Would I lie to you, Brother Tang? It happened just yesterday, and everyone on the ship saw it!"

Li Chenqiu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he pretended to be calm and asked, "Why did he enter the quicksand?"

Qi Hai explained, "At that time, the sand area in front of us suddenly bubbled densely like boiling water. In order to investigate the cause, Zhang Ping went down."

"What happened later?"

Qi Hai continued, "As soon as Zhang Ping went in, the phenomenon disappeared. Not long after, he rushed out with a pale face. He didn't say much and just told us to continue forward according to the route."

Hearing this, a fleeting look of contemplation flashed across Li Chenqiu's brows.

Fu Yuesheng said that the Finishing Touch would react when it got close to the Seal God Scroll, and the Seal God Scroll hidden in the space crack would also appear.

Could the boiling quicksand be an anomaly caused by the Space Ring approaching the Seal God Scroll?

But the Space Ring can isolate the induction. Can the Finishing Touch react with the Seal God Scroll hidden in the space crack under such circumstances?

"Brother Tang? What are you thinking about?" Qi Hai waved his hand in front of him.

"Uh... I wasn't thinking about anything," Li Chenqiu said perfunctorily after regaining his senses.

Qi Hai didn't press him when he saw this.

...

The ten ships slowly sailed on the Sand Sea, from morning to noon, from the scorching sun to the setting sun, without stopping for a moment.

Because each ship has a fixed route, once it deviates from the route without informing Zhang Ping,

The navigation system will send the real-time location of the ship to the other nine ships. This is an unchangeable program and is bound to the ship's control system. This is also why Li Chenqiu did not hijack the ship.

Otherwise, as soon as he finished hijacking, before he even reached the Sand Domain where the Space Ring was located, the other nine ships would smell the scent and come over, directly surrounding him and catching him like a turtle in a jar, and that would be completely over.

On the observation deck, Li Chenqiu looked at the five o'clock sun, and a decisive look flashed in his deep eyes.

He turned his head and looked at Qi Hai, whose eyelids were about to close, "Xiao Qi, keep a close watch. My stomach is a little uncomfortable, I'm going down to rest for a while."

Qi Hai replied blankly, "Uh... okay, Brother Tang, go ahead!"

"Yeah."

Li Chenqiu left the observation deck, but he didn't go to rest. Instead, he came to the outside of the cabin of Xu Ming, the leader of the Sixth Team.

Knock knock knock!

Li Chenqiu knocked politely on the door.

"Come in."

Xu Ming's voice came from inside the door.

Li Chenqiu twisted the handle, stepped into the cabin, and closed the door behind him.
