treasure a blatant Temptation Gian

continued her search in the vicinity but

found nothing new with Nightfall

approaching the desert cooled

considerably it seemed the center would

have to wait for another Expedition

however the winds at the desert's heart

would be fiercer and more challenging to

navigate so she decided to prepare for

the next visit Gian returned to the

Refuge area with Dudu rewarding Shia

with a few small fish before departing

in High Spirits once back at the Villa

dooo seemed to spring back to life as if

it had been sealed away in the desert

Gian inquired about its earlier Behavior

I don't know once we got there I felt so

tired and just wanted to sleep couldn't

muster any energy Dudu replied tilting

its head Yan resolved to avoid the

desert for the time being one note about

treasure was insufficient and with Dudu

lacking combat prowess there they could

only use the teleportation order in case

of danger which seemed imprudent perhaps

xia song might know something he

appeared quite familiar with the

mountain dud timely interjection

disrupted gian's musings but we always

encounter him by chance next time let us

search for him in the Pine Forest Gian

was uncertain whether a squirrel would

possess knowledge of the desert having

never heard of squirrels inhabiting such

a place while practicing her archery and

awaiting the arrival of monsters as the

Clock Struck 12 a second tier hen

appeared before her Gian swiftly

dispatched it acquiring a whole chicken

and five feathers Chapter 58 the

mysterious Merchant of the desert the

following morning after breakfast Gian

took Dudu to the Pine Forest in search

of sha song this time not carrying pine

cones but instead a nut gift basket

which contained a walnut a peanut a

macadamia nut and a cashew along with a

small handful of sunflower seeds given

its small size it won't consume much she

mused the pair ventured into the Pine

Forest but found no sign of Shong Jin

called out Shong Shong are you there we

here to play suddenly a squirrel leapt

down from a tree landing on Dudu hey get

off me am I your Mount Dudu exclaimed

the little squirrel seemed to use Dudu

as a springboard Landing gracefully on

the ground what do you need me for Gian

presented the nut gift basket to Shia

song who accepted it and replied the

mountain God once said that if someone

unexpectedly arrives with a gift they

surely seek something in return for the

first time Gian detected an air of aged

wisdom in the squirrel's voice though

she had never encountered a talking

squirrel before aside from Sandy I

merely wish to inquire if you know

anything about the desert behind BHA

Mountain Gian feeling exposed decided to

speak plainly BHA Mountain you Nam this

mountain Shong pointed to the Towering

Mass indeed we cannot simply refer to it

as the mountain indefinitely there

exists a BHA cave hence it is called B

Mountain I there a problem with that

none whatsoever xia song paused before

continuing I have not ventured into to

the desert but I have heard rumors that

the Desert god conceals different

Treasures in various deserts and one

must solve his riddles and pass through

his challenges to obtain them after

speaking xiaosong cracked open a walnut

against a rock and popped it into its

mouth suddenly recalling something it

added the desert also hosts mysterious

Merchants who sell a mix of genuine and

counterfeit Goods the mountain God once

traded with one purchasing a so-called

magic lamp which turned out to be fake

leaving him so insense that he didn't

leave his Bood for 2 days how can there

be trade with someone who sells both

real and fake items G inquired intrigued

because he indeed possesses the blessing

of the Desert god and the items he sells

are all quite precious Shong replied

nonchalantly when does he usually arrive

G impressed for more information I am at
