"Uh..."
Yuan let out a pained groan and slowly opened his eyes.
His head felt like it was about to split apart. He couldn't summon the slightest bit of energy, and his whole body was so weak he could barely move. He even seemed to see his great-grandmother standing in front of him, beckoning.
"A Yuan, you're awake!?"
Hearing him, Liu Ru Yan looked down in delight.
"Where is this!?"
Yuan's voice was hoarse as he struggled to open his eyes.
Sand swept across the sky, shrouding the whole world in a haze. Cracked earth stretched in every direction, and everywhere he looked was barren, without a trace of life. Everything seemed bleak and desolate.
"The Endless Wasteland!"
Liu Ru Yan didn't hide it and told him the name of the place.
"What are we doing here!?"
At the words "Endless Wasteland," Yuan's heart gave a violent jolt.
He'd been thrilled when he learned the coordinates of the Hidden Sect, thinking he might find a lucky chance meant just for him there. But that had all been on the assumption that he wasn't injured.
Now his spiritual sense had been grievously wounded, and barely a fraction of his strength remained.
Never mind finding a lucky chance at the Hidden Sect. Even surviving here for a single day was a problem.
"You were the one who asked me to bring you here!?"
Liu Ru Yan immediately put on a wounded expression. "You suddenly collapsed back then. Before you passed out, you said something about the Endless Wasteland. Then, for some reason, you and I left the Mysterious Space. You were unconscious, and I couldn't just waste time there, so I brought you to the Endless Wasteland as fast as I could, day and night."
"Did I say that!?"
Yuan stared blankly
