Summary

The chapter describes the challenges faced by a tribe living on the edge of the Chaotic Desert, where many members have perished while hunting or undergoing rites of passage due to a special spirit creature. Despite attempts to eliminate it, the creature proved elusive, leading to the protagonist Lu Ni's quest to confront it after achieving sage status. Mei Lun, who accompanies Lu Ni, learns about the tribe's customs, including their unique upbringing system and the importance of hunting wild beasts. They travel to the Thousand Needle Stone Forest, where they meet the Clan Chief and Lu Ni's numerous wives. After an awkward encounter with the giants, they prepare to enter the Chaotic Desert, known for its dangerous environment and the threat of the Black-Toothed Worms. Lu Ni explains that they will wait for the spirit creature to approach them, as it is attracted to outsiders. After days of searching without success, Lu Ni suggests they split up and use the tribe's young members as bait, equipping Mei Lun with a talisman to guide them if needed.
