Early the next morning, Akainu's Gilded Brigade packed their bags early.

They carried heavy backpacks filled with plenty of food and water, and with their backs to the rising sun, they slowly moved forward in the direction indicated by Xun.

Kong and Yan stood there quietly, watching Akainu's men gradually go away until they disappeared on the distant horizon.

After confirming that they really left here, Kong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now, it's time for us to set out to look for meteorites."

"Great! Let's go!" Paimon cheered excitedly.

However, Saxtonford on the side had a gloomy face and was in an extremely heavy mood.

He really didn't want to get close to the place where he had escaped after going through so much hardship. But who would have thought that in such a short time, he would be forced to return there...

He sighed helplessly, knowing that he was powerless to change the current situation. After all, with his strength, he could not defeat the two masters behind him.

What a damn fate...why did it have to target me alone?

Saxtanford cursed inwardly, but had no choice but to lead the way, with Kong, Yan, and Paimon following closely behind.

What they didn't know was that shortly after they left, Sakaskin and his men made a big detour and quietly returned here.

He was filled with anger and resentment. He was the first one to find the oasis! Why was he the one to leave?

So he led his men to launch another attack under the cover of night.

However, Porusalinuo and Kuzhan were prepared. He had anticipated that Sakaskin might come back, so he set up many ambushes in advance.

When Sakaskin and his men fell into the trap, they realized that they had fallen into the other party's trap again.

But this time no one came to save him...

In the fierce battle, he fought bravely, but was ultimately outnumbered.

The seriously injured Sakaskin fell in a pool of blood. Before he died, the oasis that Kong mentioned emerged in his mind.

Maybe that oasis really exists? he thought.

In that unknown land, there may be endless beauty and tranquility.

He seemed to see himself in an oasis, lying on the soft beach, enjoying the warm sunshine, gentle breeze and sweet coconut juice. He looked far away, admiring the intoxicating beauty in front of him...

Suddenly, there seemed to be a rustling sound in his ears, pulling him back to reality from his fantasy.

Sakaskin's eyes were wide open, his body was covered in blood, he fell to the cold ground, his life was gradually slipping away.

He raised his hands as if to grab something, but finally let them fall down weakly.

Porusalinu stood aside, wiping the blood-stained blade.

At this time, Biteri came hurriedly, his face was filled with excitement. He thought that Porusalino called him over because of the good news that Sakaskin was dead.

"Captain, is there anything you want me to come over for?" Biteri's tone was filled with a hint of excitement. Sakaskin was finally dead.

Porusalinu looked at him coldly, with a cruel smile on his face.

"Nothing, I just want you to die..."

He smiled and plunged the knife into the unsuspecting Bittry's chest.

"Why...why...?" Bitrey fell to the ground weakly, blood gushing out from the wound, staining the ground red.

"Because I hate traitors..." There was a smile on Borusalino's face, but there was no warmth in his eyes, as if he was looking at an insignificant person.

Porusalinu slowly pulled out the knife and looked at Bitri's body without a trace of pity in his heart.

Porusalinu turned and walked away, leaving Bitri's body there. His steps were light and unaffected.

……

Saxtonford led the group of people walking, stopping and going, and going around in circles.

"Hey, Saxtonford," Paimon called out, "do you know where the meteorite is? Are you leading us in circles?"

"How could that be?" Saxtanford laughed and said with a guilty conscience, "I'm just trying to find the direction. The terrain here is very complicated. If you're not careful, you'll get lost."

"You'd better not play any tricks," Yan stared at him with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, "otherwise..."

As he spoke, a wind ball began to condense in his hand. The wind ball quickly grew larger, and the air around it became agitated.

"Humph!" Seeing this, Saxtanford couldn't help but feel a little scared, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "I told you, I'm just trying to identify the direction."

Yan ignored him and threw the wind ball in his hand towards a sand dune in the distance.

"boom!!!"

The wind ball exploded with a loud noise. Wind blades burst out of the body, stirring up dust and sand, forming a powerful shock wave.

Not long after, the flying dust finally slowly dissipated.

The originally towering sand dunes have disappeared, replaced by an extremely huge deep pit.

Saxtanford looked at the scene in front of him with a stiff expression and couldn't help swallowing. The smile on his face froze instantly.

Seeing this, Kong patted Yan's shoulder gently and said with a smile, "Okay, stop scaring him."

Then, Kong turned his gaze to Saxtanford, still with a gentle smile on his face, and whispered to comfort him: "I'm sorry, I may have scared you just now."

Saxtanford quickly shook his head, indicating that he was fine, but his voice was slightly trembling, and he responded: "No... It's okay..."

Then he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and walked to the front of the team again and continued to lead the way.

This time, he obviously quickened his pace and was no longer as slow as before.

In the evening, the sun sets in the west, and the afterglow shines on the golden desert, creating a faint red glow.

They stopped at a relatively flat area, set up tent and prepared to rest.

As usual, it was still Han who was in charge of guarding the first half of the night.

It is late at night, the moonlight is like water, and everything is silent.

Time passed quietly, and the second half of the night came quietly. Kong replaced Yan. He woke up Saxtonford and prepared to ask him something.

He climbed out of the tent, his eyes half sleepy and his face full of fatigue, as if he would fall asleep again at any moment.

"Why did you wake me up so late, Sora?" Saxtanford rubbed his eyes and yawned loudly, his tone revealing obvious sleepiness.

It is worth mentioning that when they left, they asked for a small tent from the Gilded Brigade, so Saxtanford didn't have to stay up late anymore.

Sora stared at Sackstanford quietly and said softly, "Can you tell me about the meteorite?"

Hearing this, Saxtanford's expression instantly became serious, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, as if he recalled some terrible past events.

"Do you really want to know?" Saxtonford's voice trembled slightly. The flames jumped in front of him, reflecting his gloomy face.

Sora looked straight at him, his eyes determined.

Seeing this, Saxtanford took a deep breath and spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse.

Sora listened with a look of shock on his face.
