The tractor sputtered along for about half an hour before finally coming to a stop on the side of the road.
The straight road leads to the Takla Desert oasis, and the scenery along the way is breathtaking.
On the other side...
Jiang Junyi and the others turned their heads to look, and the undulating sand dunes outlined a winding sand path.
The shadow that disappeared at the end of the line of sight seemed like the entrance to a devil's land.
Jiang Junyi carried Wan Qingyun off the tractor, while Uncle Wu and Mo Jie stood on either side.
"Let's go and see what's so scary about this Kuoik."
Jiang Junyi pushed Wan Qingyun across the highway and towards the sandy path.
The tractor driver shook his head, then started up again and drove off into the distance.
When Wan Qingyun stepped onto the sand, she was surprised to find that her wheelchair had changed slightly on its own.
Walking on the sand feels just like walking on a main road.
As the group walked along the sand path, they could hear the rustling sound of sand flowing gently in the breeze.
Tranquil, tranquil.
The deeper you go, the more this tranquility gradually transforms into a profound solitude.
The no-man's land meant that at this moment, only Jiang Junyi and his group were there.
"Waaaaah—!"
Suddenly, a sound that seemed to be crying rang out, sometimes near, sometimes far.
This is what Dilinar mentioned, the Wind Cry Pass.
In other words, they are about to reach the entrance to Kuoik.
We walked for a while longer.
The sound grew louder and louder, becoming increasingly erratic and intense.
"Smack."
Jiang Junyi stopped and looked up at both sides with a frown.
On the sand dunes, towering Wind Cry Stone stand.
The irregular holes are densely packed together; if someone with trypophobia were here, they would probably go crazy on the spot.
Even Jiang Junyi, who was otherwise fine, felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this, and experienced some physical discomfort.
What made it even stranger to him was that Jiang Junyi felt the distribution of these Wind-Weeping Rocks resembled the teeth of a demon.
And between the two sand dunes, there is a bridge-shaped Wind Carved Stone.
He has a good memory, and by combining the route he came from, a complete aerial view appeared in his mind.
That's a living, breathing mouth.
At this moment, everyone's face was solemn.
Once you get here, the atmosphere starts to change.
A slight flutter of excitement would occasionally well up in my heart.
Uncle Wu and Mo Jie carefully examined the area around the Wind Cry Pass in front of Jiang Junyi Wan Qingyun to prevent any danger.
After confirming several times, the two nodded to Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun: "Let's go."
Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun nodded and followed Uncle Wu, a Mo Jie, deeper into the area.
After passing the Wind-Crying Rock, the view opened up considerably.
The group paused for a moment, observing their surroundings.
Jiang Junyi frowned. At first glance, the environment here seemed no different from a normal desert.
That's normal.
But it is precisely this normalcy that has become the most abnormal thing.
Sand dunes, rocks, and a few desert plants.
Snakes and insects occasionally dart about on the scorching sand.
Just then, everyone felt a shadow suddenly loom over their heads.
Almost simultaneously, the four of them suddenly looked up.
Seeing that it was a large cloud drifting in, they breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Jiang Junyi: "There shouldn't be any Giant Sandworm (400-1000 meters in size) here, right?"
Wan Qingyun frowned slightly as she looked at Jiang Junyi: " Giant Sandworm, is it dangerous?"
Jiang Junyi smiled and patted Wan Qingyun's head, "I'll tell you when we get back."
Uncle Wu's voice came. " Young Master, if there really are sandworms here, they are probably already at our feet."
Jiang Junyi: "Just kidding..."
"Boom!"
The earth suddenly trembled.
Jiang Junyi's pupils dilated in shock!
What are you doing?! I was just fucking joking!
"Find cover! Run towards the rocks behind you! Quick!" Mo Jie shouted, raising his head.
Hearing Mo Jie's call, Jiang Junyi was about to run away with Wan Qingyun when he heard Wan Qingyun's calm voice:
"No!"
"You two, come here!"
Jiang Junyi stopped moving instantly, and Mo Jie and Uncle Wu also rushed towards Wan Qingyun without asking why.
"Hurry up!" Wan Qingyun whispered.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
Just as the four of them were holding on tightly, a sandstorm swept in from all directions!
It was like a tsunami in the desert.
Due to the unique nature of the Fate Lord, Wan Qingyun, who had grown to the level of Lesser Grandmaster, possessed a far stronger sense of perception than the other three present.
The moment Mo Jie spoke, she keenly sensed the vibration frequency of the sand grains and the sound carried by the wind.
These clues instantly coalesced in his mind into a single message—a sandstorm was imminent, and there was no escaping it.
At this moment, grabbing each other is the best thing to do!
With the physical strength of Martial Artist, it is not difficult for them to withstand these sandstorms by relying on each other.
But if being scattered leads to getting lost, then that's a big problem.
As the sandstorm approached, the four men clung tightly to each other.
But... Jiang Junyi smelled a strange fragrance!
Before he could even speak—
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
The wind howled and the yellow sand flew.
Those below the Grandmaster only have a limited ability to survive when faced with terrifying natural disasters.
Jiang Junyi planned to share the information he had just received after the sandstorm had passed.
But things didn't turn out the way Jiang Junyi had imagined!
At first, the yellow sand lived up to its name, but gradually, the yellow sand flying all over the sky seemed to change color and turned black!
Furthermore, the intensity of the sandstorm showed no signs of abating.
At that moment, Jiang Junyi's sudden voice sent chills down Wan Qingyun's spine—" Qingyun! What are you doing there?!"
"Junyi! What are you saying?! I'm right here..."
Wan Qingyun's pupils suddenly contracted. Where was Jun Yi?!
She applied force with her hands, but received no response.
How is this possible?!
She had clearly gripped Jiang Junyi's arm tightly before the storm hit, but now she couldn't feel anything at all.
From Jiang Junyi's perspective, he suddenly spotted Wan Qingyun's figure in the sandstorm not far away.
He looked at the spot where Wan Qingyun been standing, but it was now empty!
" Qingyun, what are you doing there?!" Jiang Junyi said anxiously, "Don't move! I'm coming right away!"
So Jiang Junyi walked towards " Wan Qingyun " against the wind and sand, but he felt that there was always great resistance on his arms.
He attributed this to the sandstorm being too severe.
Wan Qingyun was extremely anxious at this moment. She kept exerting force based on her senses, but she didn't know the real situation!
She felt that her eyes and body had betrayed her.
Is the information received true or false?
But misfortune never comes singly, for then Uncle Wu's voice rang out!
" Young Master! Danger! Don't let go! Young Master!"
That's not all.
" Xiao Yu'er... Cancer... Aquarius? Has the Lord of Destiny found you? No! Watch out behind you!"
This is the voice of Mo Jie.
Wan Qingyun shouted loudly, " Mo Jie! Wake up! Uncle Wu!"
There was no reaction whatsoever...
The Mo Jie just mentioned is most likely Pisces, Cancer, Aquarius.
The current situation is too bizarre, and Wan Qingyun seems to be the most clear-headed one.
Go and call him! This is your last chance!
The pendant suddenly made a sound.
Wan Qingyun, as if grasping at a straw, shouted desperately:
" Jiang Junyi!"
