These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 258: Cactus fruits (1)

The corrupted sand person did what it could to try and break free of the elemental cages that appeared around it.

It was just that there was too much water and wind that it wasn't actually able to do anything.

Whenever the corrupted sand person tried anything, all that happened was that the water and wind would trap the sand that it tried to raise. All that happened was that the sand that it created would be pulled from its control.

So all that the corrupted sand person could do in the end was watch as parts of it were turned to glass.

It wasn't just the lightning bolts that turned the sand to glass, there were also these flames that appeared.

These flames when powered up by the wind, the heat was just too much for the sand person to resist. With these flames and lightning bolts, more and more of its body turned to glass until it finally couldn't hold on any longer.

We had already seen the way that the sand people could die when we watched them fight the Abyss Demons earlier.

The sand people had bodies that were completely made of sand and had the ability to regenerate as long as they could continue to absorb sand.

While it sounded like there was no way that the sand people would be able to die, while it sounded like they would be able to keep healing themselves as long as they were able to absorb the sand, that wasn't the case.

There was a limit to how much they could regenerate from absorbing the sand.

It was just like the human body's limit to how many times a human's cells could divide, but it was dependent on something else. It wasn't that they had cells in the first place that had limited lifespans.

It was that there was a limit to their vitality.

Once they ran out of this life energy, they wouldn't be able to bind the sand to their core any longer.

So as long as enough of the sand from their bodies were taken away, they would eventually die.

That was also the case for this corrupted sand person, though it was harder to take away the core of his sand. After all, the core part of the corrupted sand person was hardened with that strange dark energy that made it harder.

But in the end, sand was just sand.

Even if it was strengthened by the strange dark energy, that didn't make it strong enough to resist the lightning and flames.

So in the end, it was turned to glass just like the rest of the sand.

The last thing that the corrupted sand person did before it completely fell apart was…

"My king, I'm sorry. I've let you down."

It was a voice that was completely filled with regret as it said this.

Once the corrupted sand person fell apart, there was nothing else that came from the place where it fell. There was some black sand that was still there, but it didn't seem to move at all.

We didn't let our guards down against this and released even more flames and bolts of lightning against it. But there was no reaction at all from the black sand as it was being turned into black glass.

It seemed that even when it was turned to glass, the dark energy didn't dissipate.

But at the very least, this went to show that this corrupted sand person was completely taken care of.

I looked at it with a hesitant look for a bit before turning to look at Wang Rong and Iris.

Only the moment that I turned to look at them, I found that the two of them were already looking somewhere else.

Once the two of them had been certain that the corrupted sand person had been taken care of, the two of them started exploring around this oasis.

It seemed that they knew what I wanted to do, so they were giving me the space to do so.

Shaking my head with a faint smile, I walked over to the black glass and called out the Scavenger Rabbit to let it do its thing.

While it was digging into the black glass that remained of the corrupted sand person, I also started looking around the oasis. Though I wasn't able to walk around the oasis like the other two, so I was limited by what I could see.

The one thing that attracted my attention was the pool of water that was in the center of the oasis.

This was the place that the flow of mana was coming from.

I was curious just what this flow of mana was and why there was all this mana coming from the pool.

But after the Scavenger Rabbit finished digging through the black glass, I didn't even have time to take a close look at the items that it handed me. Instead, my attention was pulled to something else by Wang Rong.

"Boss, come and take a look at this!"

As soon as he said this, I went over to see what it was.

I saw that Iris was also coming over with a curious look, so the two of us went over together.

We didn't really know what to expect at first since there wasn't anything that was off with the area that seemed like it was special. Only when we came closer, we suddenly came to a stop as we felt something.

It was this faint feeling at first, but it became stronger when we came closer.

It was this strong feeling of mana in the air, as if there was something that was releasing it.

However, it wasn't the pool that was in the center of the oasis that was releasing this mana.

It was something that was completely different.

Seeing us look at him, Wang Rong just raised a hand and pointed in a certain direction.

When we followed the way that he was pointing, we saw that there was a bunch of cacti growing there.
