"Not good!"

Ke Mengyuan glanced at the platform around the Desert Vortex, which was completely empty, his expression changing.

Lin Yi frowned, "What is it?"

Ke Mengyuan smiled bitterly, "This competition is actually entirely hosted by Sand Pirate King Roger and his Interstellar Treasure Hunting Company."

"After passing three tests and achieving the chosen rewards, "

"it requires their staff to salvage the rewards from the Desert Vortex!"

"According to the normal dungeon process, there should be many professional sand diving personnel equipped with specialized tools after we clear the level."

"After the organizers collect our chosen reward requests, they will dive to retrieve them."

"Now... they've all disappeared..."

"It should be because they discovered a major change in the first round of the Desert Sea race, and all went to support..."

Lin Yi listened.

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Then, can't we go down ourselves to salvage the rewards?"

Ke Mengyuan shook his head, "No way! Without any protection, entering the Desert Vortex, your body will be corroded by countless golden sands there!"

"And those shimmering lights in the vortex, although marked with colors, without the exploration device of the Interstellar Treasure Hunting Company, it's impossible to pinpoint specific rewards."

Lin Yi walked to the edge of the stone platform and suddenly extended a finger.

Inserted it into the vortex radiating intense golden light.

Ke Mengyuan couldn't even stop him in time.

However, the next moment, he saw Lin Yi withdraw his finger from the vortex unharmed as if nothing happened.

Lin Yi just intended to test, after acquiring the passive skill [Sandwalker].

Whether this Desert Vortex could still harm him.

It turned out, it couldn't.

It even felt like going home.

Lin Yi's mouth curved into a smile, "There are no staff members here, and these sands can't harm me either..."

"I have a bold idea!"

Ke Mengyuan was also very smart.

He almost instantly knew what Lin Yi planned to do!

But he was still somewhat panicked, "Lin... Lin Yi, if... if the company finds out, we might be permanently expelled from their invitation list!"

"We'll never be able to enter this dungeon again!"

Lin Yi shrugged, "Do you think they won't find out that the culprit who froze the entire Desert Sea just now was us?"

"It's already like this, and you still care whether they invite us..."

Ke Mengyuan was stunned.

What Lin Yi said seemed to make a lot of sense...

This dungeon was almost destroyed by him, of course, so now they should quickly seize the opportunity and leave!

"What materials do you need, let me know, and I'll help you salvage them." Lin Yi looked at Ke Mengyuan and the others.

"Ah? Lin Yi, can you recognize which shimmering lights represent which rewards?"

Lin Yi nodded.

Ke Mengyuan knew that the opportunities they had now were indeed once in a lifetime.

And previous teams that entered this dungeon would never have encountered this.

He had to think quickly and make decisions fast.

As the former leader of this team, he was very familiar with the needs of other team members, and quickly told Lin Yi the names of the three materials.

One of the materials was needed by two people.

Lin Yi nodded, looked at the golden shimmering Desert Vortex, then plunged into it with a dive.

It wasn't until he saw Lin Yi's figure completely disappear into the Desert Vortex that Ke Mengyuan's heart reached his throat, and he came to the vortex anxiously waiting.

And he was just getting close to this vortex area.

He was already sweating all over.

Just staying here for a few minutes, he felt like he might even get dehydrated.

It's too hot!

The temperature inside this vortex is probably comparable to magma, how could Lin Yi dive in and come out as if nothing was wrong.

Thinking like this, the next moment, Ke Mengyuan saw Lin Yi emerge from the center of the vortex.

The whole person stood on the vortex, looking at the ever-stirring gleaming lights below, frowning.

"Lin Yi, don't force yourself, if the temperature is too high to bear, just let it go..."

Lin Yi shook his head, "I can't just let it go, now that we're here, and reset the clearance time, going empty-handed would be too frustrating."

"The problem isn't the high temperature, but that those rewards are moving at high speed, trying to catch them isn't that easy."

Just when Lin Yi dived into the Desert Vortex, with the help of the Eye of Omniscience, the rewards represented by those gleaming lights couldn't escape his sight.

Very quickly, Lin Yi locked onto the materials he needed: Sand Pirate King Roger's third leg.

Though the material's name was full of criticism.

But in reality, it's a sci-fi styled cybernetic prosthetic.

In the vortex, it was a reward of purple quality.

And the materials needed by Ke Mengyuan and the others were basically the same, also of purple quality.

The speed at which these quality rewards flew in the vortex was too fast.

Relying on the movement speed of the passive skill [Sandwalker], Lin Yi couldn't catch up to them.

And the flight paths of these rewards didn't circle around the vortex center.

It could be said there's no regular pattern at all, and he didn't know what method those professional salvagers from the treasure hunting company used to retrieve them.

This is why he surfaced to think about a solution.

Ke Mengyuan gritted his teeth and suggested, "Lin Yi, forget about us, having the best clearance record for this dungeon is already a big gain, after leaving, there will be academic rewards as well."

"You just need to find the materials you need, without distractions down there, you should have a chance to get them!"

What Ke Mengyuan said, Lin Yi didn't really listen.

But now he had an idea.

This dungeon was just a one-time deal.

Definitely won't be coming back.

Then do it thoroughly, don't stop halfway!

Lin Yi dived into the Desert Vortex with another plunge.

Diving into the vortex, Lin Yi kept going deeper.

The last time he dived, Lin Yi discovered the depth of this vortex far exceeded his previous judgment.

Moreover, the deeper the rewards, the better.

Very soon, Lin Yi reached the depth where he had previously seen purple-level rewards.

His eyes shifted, locking onto four clusters of purple light.

These four materials were the ones they needed.

Then, Lin Yi continued looking down.

He saw, deep in the vortex, two more golden streams of light.

Those should be the ultimate prizes of this reward pool.

I want them all!

A ruthless light flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, the next moment, icy coldness began to gather in his palm!

A tiny spatial rift was torn open by him.

Tiny black particles gradually condensed into black ice crystals!

Indeed, the Desert Vortex is also a part of the Desert Sea!

No reason the outside Desert Sea can be frozen by black ice, but not here!

It must be said, the temperature in the vortex center is much higher than the outside Desert Sea, even black ice, at the moment of being summoned by Lin Yi, was condensing at an extremely slow pace.

This is the shortcoming and vulnerability of the apocalyptic power of black ice.

That is, it requires a highly conducive environment.

At the moment it's summoned, if this black ice can't continue to grow, it might even be inferior to the ice attribute Tier Seven Soul Freeze.

One piece isn't enough...

Then two pieces, three pieces!

When quality isn't enough, I'll use quantity!

Three black ice chunks were instantly summoned by Lin Yi.

The next moment, the rotating speed of the entire Desert Vortex suddenly paused!

After that, the black ice no longer melted but started transforming other substances in the vortex!

Lin Yi knew, the time left for him to salvage rewards was running out!
