The Blue Crystal team found Luo Sulan out near the mountains and quickly brought her back to the shelter. Wu Qinggang killed one sacred-blood creature and managed to chase away the other two before returning himself.

The Blue Crystal team believed things were not as simple as they might have initially seemed, as those sacred-blood creatures should not have appeared where they were in the first place. But aside from their intrusion, nothing else happened; Luo Sulan was safe.

Although it was strange, Luo Sulan's safety was all that mattered. After she returned to the shelter, she teleported to the Alliance.

Near the base of the mountains, the ground seemed disrupted. The soil seemed fresh, as if something had been recently buried.

”Mom, are you okay?” Qin Xuan had told Han Sen what had occurred at the shelter, and he found it strange, as well. But if they wanted to bring harm to his mother, it didn't seem like the attraction of the three sacred-blood creatures would be enough.

”I'm fine; what could have possibly happened to me?” Luo Sulan asked.

”Mom, I may have offended someone in the shelter. They have tried to come at me already, but they were unsuccessful. Since they couldn't not take out their grievances on me, I fear they may come for you—my family—in response. As such, I don't believe you should leave the safety of the Alliance for the time being,” Han Sen told her directly.

He could not hide things from his mother, and for the issue that currently concerned him, he had to tell her the entire truth so she could understand the gravity of the situation. If she did not, and happily left the safety of the Alliance, she might find herself in trouble.

What had happened was strange, yes; but Han Sen did not want anything else to happen to her. Until he reached his mother's location, he did not want her to leave the Alliance.

”Little Sen, who did you offend? Will something happen?” Luo Sulan worriedly asked.

”Don't worry, I can handle all this. Your son is strong now,” Han Sen smiled as he spoke.

”It's my fault, for being unable to protect you,” Luo Sulan spoke, with a tone of sadness.

”Mom, it was difficult enough for you to raise me. Now, I should be the one protecting you,” Han Sen quickly told her.

”Little Sen, do you still have your great grandfather's relic?” Luo Sulan asked him, seemingly randomly.

”Of course I do. Do not worry for that, Mom. I always carry this pendant,” Han Sen said.

”All right, then.” A look of relief then washed over Luo Sulan.

…...

After hanging up the communicator, Luo Sulan's expression was complicated. She thought to herself, ”After all these years spent working so hard, can we still not escape this loop?”

After Han Sen confirmed his mother's safety, he decided to resume his journey to the Blue Crystal shelter.

The Black Desert. An endless black desert that looked like the inside of hell's furnace. The colors were bleak and hopeless, far more depressing than an average desert.

Han Sen was riding Golden Growler through the Black Desert, and because of the region's vast size and barren wastes, he looked lonely and small in its midst.

”I wish I did not have to eat or drink. At least I would feel better in this damn place, if I did not have to.” Han Sen had been on his traversal of the Black Desert for six days, before realizing he was lost.

A massive black sandstorm had kicked up two days prior, which was quite threatening. It did not harm Han Sen, but in his escape, he ended up losing all sense of direction.
