In this chapter, we learn that the dou spirit is still strong in the Tagel Desert, and that the only way to get rid of the seal is to use the 6th rank pill, which is the same as the destruction pill. We learn that there is also another essence flame that can be found in the desert, but it's not as strong as the first one. The narrator tells us that the essence flame is the best way to find food, but that the gathering of dou qi is four times more effective than the use of the flame. The two brothers tease each other about the fact that they've been separated for 50 years. The brother teases his brother about how he hasn't written a letter to his brother in 50 years, and how he's still waiting for him to come back from school. The brothers are interrupted by the sound of a lion's roar. The captain tells the captain to hurry and save the human mercenaries, and the captain says that they were attacked by snakemen.
