A sea of yellow sand.

Silence and no wind.

The sun hangs high in the sky, unleashing infinite heat and light.

The sand dunes are one after the other, rolling and undulating, like chic tombstones.

And in the back of a sand dune, suddenly sand stumbled downward.

The movement grew louder and louder, and then from the churning yellow sand, a hand suddenly stretched out!

Then the next moment, the hand seemed to react, extremely excited and frantically scratching and pushing. First the palm, then the arm, poured out of the sand hole, and the sand hole was rapidly expanded, finally revealing a middle-aged man's head.

When the gray head was half-exposed to the dunes, the mouth opened desperately to the maximum, and after exhaling all the stuffy air in his chest with extreme weakness, he greedily pumped out the scorching air.

With violent breathing, a small amount of sand particles are ejected from the mouth and nose of the middle-aged man.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Then, because the breathing was too violent, the middle-aged man had a violent cough.

After a few moments of coughing, he finally recovered and opened his eyes.

Although he was on the back of the gloomy sand dunes, his pupils were still pierced by the scorching sun, and he subconsciously narrowed his eyes into a slit.

But as all the pictures came into view, the smile on the gloomy middle-aged man's face because of survival was also frozen.

The gloomy middle-aged man is none other than Ark.

What happened to them before is a nightmare that can't even be described as a nightmare.

They seem to be trapped in a ghost place, they can't leave at all, they can't hide at all, and no matter where they go, they will unconsciously return to the origin of this place where the battle took place.

Until, the Yin Ji Soul Master couldn't help it, and proposed to divide the troops into two ways, and he walked in opposite directions alone, to see if the two groups would meet again while walking.

But it turned out to be the beginning of a nightmare..........

Thinking of this, Ark shook his head in fear, trying not to remember the picture behind him.

Those three corpses with strange smiles were so terrifying that even they could silently transform their companions!

They tried to use soul skills, but it didn't work at all, but because of the excessive use of soul power, he even died in despair in the end.

Except for him, the other four people have all turned into smiling corpses!

It was because it was too terrifying that he didn't dare to imagine the picture of the past, but now, in front of him, what he saw was not death, but a desert..........

"Where the hell is this? The world after death? ”

He almost died of suffocation, and when he took his first breath of air, the most dangerous moment was over.

Ark took a moment's breath, regained some strength, and struggled to pull himself out of the sand.

After officially getting out of the predicament of being buried alive, Ark didn't have the strength to stand up at all, and knelt directly on the ground, gasping for breath and coughing loudly at intervals.

He spits.

The sand in the mouth stains the saliva a pale yellow color.

He plucked his ears and nose again, and then shook his hair with his hands, causing fine pieces of sand to spill everywhere.

These movements only lasted for a short time, and Ark felt the limit of his physical strength, and he was so frightened that he immediately stopped, and went from kneeling to kneeling half.

There was silence around, without a hint of wind.

The sun was shining brightly and scorching, baking the yellow-brown desert.

And the desert looks bland at first glance, only full of yellow, not a trace of green.

The only variegated color is him.

Suddenly, Ark's face froze.

He saw it, people.

And the other party also saw him.

"Is it the enemy? No, I can't use my soul power now, I'm in danger. Ark thought to himself, but he fumbled around his body and was dumbfounded.

Why is there nothing on his body except clothes? What about his bag?

What about his props?

However, as the other person approached, Ark saw the other person's face clearly and breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew him.

Moreover, it is not a pale human face, it is a living person, a living person who can exhale a fiery breath.

"Great, you're still alive, Swan." Ark saw his familiar companion and immediately beckoned to him.

But all this can't help but make Ark start to think, where the hell is this?

Soon, the two were reunited.

It is a rich soul master with slightly squinted eyes, and the martial soul is a burning hedgehog, a very tricky defensive battle soul king.

"Yes, I'm still alive, everyone is still alive, and they're all still wondering when you'll be here." Swan's eyes narrowed and he patted Ark on the shoulder.

"What, you said everyone was here, too? Great, I'm not alone on the Huangquan Road. Ark's heart was overjoyed, and his gloomy face bloomed with a touch of genuine joy for the first time in a long time.

"Not lonely, certainly not lonely, after all, they are all waiting for you, how can you do if you don't come." Siwan's tone suddenly became a little strange.

"By the way, is this really the afterlife? It's all yellow sand, it's just like the real thing, I felt like I'm going to choke to death, haha, I'm just dead, is it possible that I want to die again? Ark said, surveying his surroundings.

However, he didn't notice that Siwan's somewhat gloomy look.

"Come with me, you're here, and we're good to get to work, because you haven't arrived, and we've all been hungry for two whole days." As Ark retracted his gaze, Swan's deep voice rang out.

"Uh." The smile on Ark's face froze as it was visible to the naked eye.

"Don't worry, it's not about you, it's about preparing to work in the mines, and if you eat, you'll have three full meals." As if sensing that his tone was not quite right, Siwang immediately added.

"Whew, I'm scared to death, I thought the first thing I did when I came out was to add food to my brothers." Ark wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled.

But then, Ark looked at the crystal sweat in his hand in amazement.

"Am I not dead? Why can I still sweat! Ark exclaimed.

Even, he didn't hear the mining work in Siwang's mouth, why, now, his attention is only focused on his own hands.

And Siwang's face became more and more gloomy.

Ark senses that something is wrong with the world.

"Swan, where the hell is this? What the hell is it? We are also brothers who go south and north, what kind of place in Douluo Continent have I never seen, I am very unfamiliar here, you tell me the truth, where is this? ”

Ark immediately questioned when he saw Swan's wrong look.

Where the hell is this?

For Ark's step-by-step approach, Siwang couldn't help but sigh.

"This is the place of divine punishment."

A few words, and Ark was stunned.

"What did you say?" The gloomy middle-aged man couldn't help but ask again.

"The Land of Divine Punishment." Swan whispered again with pain on his face.

"What does this mean? Swan? After making sure that what he heard was correct, Ark forced down the bad premonition in his heart and asked tremblingly.

"The land of divine punishment is the place of atonement for sinners after they die, and now you and I are here, every sinner who comes here needs to mine for thirty years as atonement, so your feeling is right, this is indeed the place after death, but this is also another truly living world, you see, your heart is still beating."

Siwang said a lot in one breath, but he still had to keep talking.

"I heard the foreman say that only after completing the atonement can you have the qualification to return to the Douluo Continent, and only by joining a mysterious organization, otherwise you will be allowed to mine and dig to death in this land of divine punishment, I have seen many people go crazy because they can't stand it in the two days since I came to this world."

"That mysterious organization, named: Dongfeng, I heard that it was founded by a great being dedicated to creating a new world! In other words, if we want to come back to life, we still have a chance, and that is to rely on our excellent performance to compete for the qualification to join the Dongfeng organization after the expiration of our thirty-year sentence! ”

Ark froze.

The eyes gradually lose their highlights.

Thirty years?
