Hua Jiu kept staring at the raised pile of sand, never taking his eyes off it, only to see that the flowing sand was getting faster and faster, as if it could suck people in at any time.

It was the first time she had seen such a strange scene, and she couldn't help but have all kinds of doubts in her heart, so she turned her head and asked the ghost, "What is the Desert Earth City?" ”

The ghost got a little closer, and then replied, "It's the center of this desert, and when the storm comes, just stand next to it and get out of here in an instant." ”

"What?!" Hua Jiu was stunned when he heard this, then looked at him with a suspicious expression, and asked again, "You said it can take us out of here?" ”

"Yes, there's a storm here every night, as long as it's next to Desert Earth City, it's fine."

Obviously, she didn't believe what he said. However, what the devil said is true, the desert earth city will be affected by the storm and take people away, but instead of leaving here, it will go to here, and below it is another place.

Looking at Hua Jiu's expression, the ghost became a little amused, and then guessed: "You shouldn't be from the Western Regions, right?" ”

"Of course not, it's my first time here." Hua Jiu replied, and couldn't help but think of the task assigned by the master again, and suddenly became irritable again.

Seeing her brows furrowed together, her face was full of sorrow, but she was also cute. The ghost suddenly felt that her messy short hair and her face were actually quite compatible.

No wonder he brought her here easily, he thought to himself, it turns out that she is not from the Western Regions, so she doesn't know the way at all.

Because in the Western Regions, almost everyone knows this desert, and it is rumored that this is a black desert, a wild land, and some people call it the land of death.

Why such a terrifying title? It all started with the raised sand pile in the middle of the desert.

Although this sand pile is not very square, it has a strange gravitational pull, and it is said that it can suck people into it with their heads and feet. It is also rumored that when a storm comes, walls rise around the sand pile, like a castle made of earth, which is spectacular to see from a distance. That's why people named him Desert Earth City.

Everyone's first reaction when they heard the name Desert Earth City was fear, just like the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls in Lou Xiaoyue, so no one dared to come here, because everyone was afraid that they would never be able to get out after being sucked in. After all, the temperature of the desert is very high, so it is inferred that the bottom of the desert must be as hot as a molten slurry.

Of course, these Hua Jiu didn't know yet, and at this time they were still simply following behind the ghosts.

Seeing that the ghost was getting closer and closer to the desert earth city, she couldn't help but be a little scared, and her sixth sense told her that this sand pile was not simple. No matter how stupid she was, she would never believe that this sand pile could take her away from here, after all, this desert was boundless, how could she say that she would leave if she left.

"That...... Is it okay not to go over? Or take a detour from the side? Suddenly, she grabbed the ghost in front of her and said.

I saw the ghost turn around and smile at her, I don't know why, she always felt that the smile was panicked, and it was very familiar, as if she had seen it just now.

That's right! She had seen this kind of smile on Yuli's face, it was so eerie that it made people's hairs stand on end.

Unconsciously, she took a step back in fear, and there was a sense of uneasiness in her heart.

"What's wrong?" Afraid that she would notice something, the ghost immediately changed her face, and she looked like a pure teenager again.

Hua Jiu looked at him carefully a few times, and found that he didn't have the feeling just now, thinking that he was dazzled, so his tense heart relaxed, and he hurriedly replied: "It's okay, it's just a little hot." ”

He saved himself from Yuli's hands, he couldn't be a bad person, at this time, she thought in her heart, and suddenly the sense of unease also dissipated.

"You just said you were going to take a detour?" The ghost asked.

"Yes, is that okay?" She nodded, looking at him expectantly, because she was really a little afraid of that dirt city. She saw that the sand on it was rolling, and it was terrifying, like a whirlpool that could suck people in.

Unexpectedly, the ghost shook his head and replied, "No." Then he pointed around and said, "Look here, all of them belong to the Desert Earth City area, and it is like a dividing line, dividing the desert into two halves, and no matter how you make a detour, you must pass through it." ”

Hua Jiu took the opportunity to look at the side of the sand pile, and sure enough, as he said, he saw that it was full of rolling sand, all forming a balance line.

Then she asked him, "Shall we go back along the road and not go to the desert?" ”

The ghost shook his head again, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and replied, "My family must pass through here, and there is no other way." ”

"......" Why is there no other way? Hua Jiu pursed his lips, and his brows were twisted into a 'figure eight'. Then she looked there again, still fearing that the rolling sand would suck her in.

At this time, the ghost looked at the sky and said, "The storm is coming. ”

Very well, he will soon be able to show her to her master, he thought to himself.

"What to do? Will it be swept away? Hua Jiu on the side looked at him and asked, only to see that her expression was panicked.

"Didn't I just say that as long as we are next to the desert earth city, this storm can take us out of here, there will be no danger, and it will go straight to my house."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a strange sound, not far away, and it seemed to come from the ground. The sound was a bit like the low roar of a beast, very human.

"What's that sound?" Hua Jiu's hair stood on end, and he immediately leaned towards the ghost in fear, and finally couldn't help but grab his arm again.

"This is the sound before the storm, don't be afraid." The ghost touched her head and replied, then led her closer to the desert earth city.

As soon as he stepped on the rolling sand, Hua Jiu was shocked. I didn't expect the sand here to be so cold, and it's so soft that it's quite comfortable to step on. It's just that the sand under your feet keeps rolling, giving you a strange touch.

At this moment, the strange sound became louder and louder, and the sand on the ground rolled faster and faster. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and unsuspectingly, Hua Jiu ate a mouthful of sand.

"Bah......" she vomited in disgust.

However, the ghost on the side suddenly pulled her to the ground, and at the same time said, "Get down." ”

Immediately after that, the wind swept in, very fierce, like a demon in the dark night with its teeth and claws, and with a loud noise, the sand on the ground was blown around, and from a distance it was almost gray, like a fog.

"Woo-woo-" The wind has not stopped, like a desert earth city coming from this side.

On the side of the desert earth city, Hua Jiu and Ghost both closed their eyes tightly, and at the same time covered their ears with their hands on the ground, their postures were simply synchronized.

The first time she encountered a storm, Hua Jiu's heart was melancholy, she was just repaying the favor, why was it so difficult?

It didn't take long for her face to hurt, as if she had been cut by a knife, and it turned out to be the stinging pain from the sand scraping on her face. However, she felt that her whole body was about to be blown away, but she didn't expect the wind to be so strong

It hurts, she wants to cry without tears. At this moment, she felt that something was not quite right under her, and it was falling little by little, and she began to sink slowly......

What's the situation?! Her heart was in her throat, but the wind was too strong, and there was flying sand everywhere, and she couldn't open her eyes at all. So I can only deduce from my feelings that I am being sucked into the sand little by little.

Then, as if her whole body was spinning, she was dragged under the sand little by little with the storm......
