Taffie was quite surprised when Jyu revealed that the mystical creatures already knew of their presence. That meant the enemy could attack at any time, and the threat of death was indeed very great.
But when she heard Jyu's suggestion to ask for help, her forehead immediately frowned in confusion.
"Ask for help? Are you stupid?" Taffie said firmly.
"Do you not understand the situation we are facing right now?"
Jyu could only stare blankly, remembering that the current situation was extremely difficult. It was as if there were two things to deal with at once: first, thousands of mystical creatures that had entered the human world, and second, closing the dimensional portal.
"Do you think our friends are idle? Right now, they are also desperately protecting humanity," Taffie emphasized again.
"So stop complaining now, just carry out your mission as best as you can."
Like it or not, this was indeed the only way to complete the mission they carried. Hoping for help to come would be useless. Whoever the enemy was, Jyu, Taffie, and Sizhi had to be ready to face them. The mission had to succeed!
But unfortunately, they could not continue the journey for the time being. Jyu's condition was still weak, and his wound kept throbbing in pain. Perhaps he could only be asked to continue the journey tomorrow morning.
And tomorrow, the situation would become even more difficult.
---
The sun in the darkent realm rose, its rays were so comfortable, warm, and calming. But this light also marked the beginning of the ferocity of the darkent realm. Almost all mystical creatures came out of their nests to search for food.
Jyu, Taffie, and Sizhi could only hide on top of the مخروط-shaped rocks, waiting for everything to calm down. But interestingly, the ferocity of the darkent realm only occurred in areas filled with cone-shaped rocks. The desert area inhabited by the Yeti creatures was very quiet.
"I think we should move now!" said Taffie.
A strategy to reach the desert area was then planned. Once again, Sizhi Svider's demon power proved very useful in this situation. The plan was that Svider would create strong threads connecting the cone-shaped rocks. Later, Jyu, Taffie, and Sizhi would slide along those threads, like a flying fox ride.
Svider immediately hurried to carry out his task. Quickly, strong threads were already connected to several cone-shaped rocks.
"Perfect!" said Taffie with a blooming smile on her lips.
"Here!" Sizhi handed over a large, strong thread to hold while sliding along the thread prepared by Svider.
The three of them immediately slid as if they were playing a flying fox. Taffie was in the front, followed by Sizhi, and Jyu at the back.
Now the three of them had arrived at the first cone-shaped rock. There were still eight more rocks to pass before reaching the desert area. Quickly, Taffie, Jyu, and Sizhi continued their journey.
It didn't take long before the three of them finally reached the desert area.
"Are you alright, Jyu?" asked Sizhi when she saw Jyu slightly feeling pain from his wound.
"It's fine! I'm alright," Jyu explained, now ready to continue the journey again.
At the same time, two Yetis had already woken up from their sleep. From somewhere, from a distance the two of them were already devouring mystical creatures. They were so ravenous that fresh blood splattered everywhere.
But Jyu, Taffie, and Sizhi could not remain still for too long. They had to quickly find a way to pass through this desert area before the storm came. At the very least, they had to find a shelter area.
But the only shelter was the Yeti's huge body. That meant the three of them had to approach that terrifying monster immediately.
"Let's just approach it directly. Once we're close, we'll camouflage ourselves under the sand," said Taffie.
Without another command, the three of them immediately ran toward the nearest Yeti. The distance was perhaps 50 meters.
But when they had only run 20 meters, suddenly the Yeti stood up. Suddenly, it also ran, apparently wanting to attack another Yeti not far from it. The battle between the two would happen again.
"Good! This is our chance," said Taffie enthusiastically.
The three of them were now even more excited, running faster to chase the Yeti. But before they could find shelter, the two Yetis had already met and attacked each other like a battle between two mighty warriors.
The effect of that battle triggered very strong gusts of wind. Jyu, Taffie, and Sizhi had quite a difficult time running because of those blasts.
Taffie moved with full courage so she could quickly reach the Yeti's body. Because the storm's threat still existed, and it might happen soon.
Her demon then appeared and in an instant duplicated its body. With lightning-like speed, the three demons belonging to Taffie immediately carried Taffie, Jyu, and Sizhi closer to the Yeti.
Now the three of them were hanging onto the monster's fur, constantly swaying because of the brutal battle the Yeti was carrying out.
"Hold on!" shouted Taffie.
Sizhi clearly understood that hanging like this carried great risk. Because of that she called her demon again, then with Svider's power she wrapped her own body, as well as the bodies of Jyu and Taffie, with threads so they would remain attached to the Yeti's body.
"You're smart, Sizhi!" praised Jyu.
But another threat soon came. From a distance, it was clear that a sandstorm was crashing in with tremendous force and speed. Jyu, Taffie, and Sizhi prepared to withstand the storm's impact.
The storm finally struck. The two Yetis that had been fighting earlier chose to stop. Both sat down, holding their bodies steady so the storm would not drag them away.
Storms in this desert area usually last for one minute. It looked quite short, but being tossed inside it felt extremely long. Taffie, Jyu, and Sizhi had to struggle desperately so their bodies would remain attached to the Yeti's body.
But at this moment, the one suffering the most was Jyu. His wound had not fully healed, which was why it still hurt when his body worked hard to survive the storm.
Jyu groaned in pain, even though his cries could not be heard by Taffie and Sizhi at all. Both of them could only focus on their own safety.
After a desperate struggle, the storm finally began to subside. Jyu, Taffie, and Sizhi could breathe a sigh of relief. Now their muscles slowly relaxed again after being forced to tense to the point of nearly snapping.
But the two Yetis continued their battle without hesitation.
"Get down now, run to the west!" ordered Taffie.
The three of them immediately climbed down and ran quickly westward. Now they had to find another Yeti to use as shelter quickly. Perhaps in thirty minutes or even ten minutes, another storm would come.
The three of them kept running, leaving the two Yetis who had been fighting earlier. Slowly, the distance grew farther, and the gusts from the battle could no longer be felt.
But suddenly a strong wind blew from the east. Taffie and Sizhi did not pay much attention to it, but not Jyu.
Quickly, he turned his head back to see what was happening.
It turned out there was a second storm on the way.
