Don't move, it's a robbery!

After wandering in the desert for several more days, Leos and his companions encountered a group of herders. With their help, Leos and his group finally figured out the location of Mogoslor and also obtained information about the rogue from recent times.

Of course, the information they received was definitely outdated. They only knew that the bandits had held a public trial in the Oasis of Aoote, freed a group of slaves, and then rescued the oasis herders from a sand bandit organization called "Desert Gods".

Hearing this news, no one was surprised, as this was indeed Agua's style. However, Eve's expression immediately turned serious upon hearing the name "desert god descendant."

As a learned elf, she certainly knew what the name represented and what kind of power it possessed.

If offending a city-state might result in the worst-case scenario of facing an army's encirclement and annihilation, then offending the desert gods would lead to a mythical battle.

Moreover, the desert gods themselves have an army.

"Agua is in danger!"

After Eve finished recounting the information about the Desert Gods, everyone hesitated. If the Knights' attack could be considered dangerous, then the Desert Gods' attack could be considered a disaster.

If they insist on going after the Robin Hood, they might end up getting themselves killed.

"So, what do you say?"

Eve knew exactly what choice the little one would make, so she turned to look at Leos and March. Leos chose to continue forward, and March, after a moment's hesitation, made the same choice.

"He has helped us so many times. If we just abandon him because of a little danger, I won't be able to sleep peacefully anymore."

March muttered something, then added something else.

"Let me make it clear first: although I agree to help, if the situation develops to the point where we can't control it, I will still prioritize my own safety."

"Of course, not to mention you, that's what I think too."

Seeing that everyone had made the same choice, smiles appeared on everyone's faces, except for Amra, who sat to the side looking shocked, indicating that he had not yet expressed his opinion.

Regardless, everyone decided to go find Ah Gua together, at least to inform him before anything happened.

After another three days of trekking, Leos and his group finally arrived near Mogoslor, but just as they were about to continue, Amra suddenly stopped them.

"There's something strange ahead. I sense a huge treasure underground, like the one we had when we encountered the sand monster."

Looking at the sea of ​​sand ahead, everyone was a little nervous. Leos turned to Amra and asked her a question.

"You mean a very large area? How large exactly?"

"It's a very, very large area. I feel like they're forming a circle. If you try to find round sand dunes, you should be able to avoid them."

"Hmm...did you sense Ifrit hiding in one of those circular sand dunes?"

Everyone looked ahead and found that all they could see were circular sand dunes.

"Can't you sense it more accurately?"

"I wish my detection capabilities were more accurate; I wouldn't have to spend all my time picking up trash!"

Seeing Amra's aggrieved look, Leos understood that she had already tried her best.

Since that's the case, let's just take a longer route. They've already been lost in the desert for so long, so even if it takes a while longer, it won't be a problem.

However, even after everyone had walked a long way, Amra could still feel the presence of the circle.

After some deliberation, the group decided that it was too dangerous to approach rashly, so they continued to circle around.

And so they went around for a whole day. When night fell, they finally realized that no matter how far they went or how many circles they circled, Amra could always sense a circle.

Leos had an idea: could the circle that Amra mentioned be large enough to surround Mogoslol, or even larger?

The idea was somewhat crazy, but Eve approved of it because she remembered a rumor about the Desert Gods, who supposedly possessed a hero's relic that they could open and use.

If this relic of the hero happens to be able to control Ifrit, then the current spectacle is not impossible.

"But Agua might very well be in the city!"

The little one was frantic. She desperately wanted to rush into the city, but with so many Ifrits blocking her way, she had no chance of breaking through.

Eve and Leos were also very anxious, but they also had no solution.

Seeing the worried looks on their faces, March could only try to comfort them.

"Don't be afraid, Agua will definitely escape. You know how powerful he is. I can't even imagine what could possibly hold him back."

"March, you don't understand Agua. If this disaster was only aimed at him, Agua would definitely run faster than anyone else. But if this disaster will affect many people, he will stay there until the very last moment."

"Well, aren't these just wishful thinking on your part?"

"No, March, you're not an orphan, you don't understand. For people like us, just surviving is already difficult enough. It's normal to go astray because no one teaches us how to be human. But Agua didn't. He is indeed a robber and has done many bad things, but there are some bottom lines that he will never cross."

"Alright, little one, March was just trying to comfort you. There's no point in discussing Agua's character right now. Let's think about how to help him."

Looking at the morning sun, Leos sighed helplessly.

"If only we could fly."

Amra nodded thoughtfully, then pointed to the air.

"Just like him?"

"Yeah, just like him... Hmm? Just like who?"

The members of the Bell of the Pure Wind all raised their heads and, following the direction Amra pointed, indeed discovered a flying... human-like creature.

Eve observed for a moment, then her expression suddenly turned grim. Almost simultaneously, Leos also noticed something was wrong.

"That ball of flame on his body is actually an elemental being!"

"This guy is a descendant of the desert gods!"

Hearing his companion's call, March immediately took out a heavy crossbow from his luggage, set it up, and aimed it at the flying monster.

The trigger was pulled, and the arrow flew.

Heavy crossbows are powerful and have a long range, and they excel at armor penetration. However, they are not easy to hit agile aerial units. March didn't think he could kill with one shot, so after firing the first arrow, he decisively pulled the rope to prepare for another.

Then she realized that it was no longer necessary.

"Wow, March, you managed to hit him in the neck with an arrow from that distance."

"Huh? I was aiming for the legs! I was trying to capture them alive!"

"It's not March's fault. He just paused suddenly, and that's how this happened."

"Everyone, don't let your guard down. There might be others. And although that guy fell, he's not dead yet. Let's hurry over there; we might be able to get some information out of him."

They all agreed that this made sense and ran towards where the strange man had fallen.
