Chapter 15: The Desert Castle (Section 1: Trapped in the Desert)

Ye Ting looked at Fang Xiaoqian who was playing on the beach, sometimes bending down to pick up the shells on the beach, and sometimes running in the rows of waves that surged up. The light of the sunset on the horizon sprinkled on Fang Xiaoqian's body, and her delicate face was filled with a happy smile.

Ye Ting remembered that since he could remember, the face that often appeared in his dreams also had such a look.

"Why did you see this face in your dream? I don't have the slightest impression of her, why does it feel like I've known her for many years? Ye Ting felt that a certain place in his heart was gradually waking up.

"Here, drink some water!" Ye Ting's thoughts were interrupted by a bottle of mineral water handed by Fang Xiaoqian.

Ye Ting took the mineral water and took a few sips of it in his mouth. Then, deep eyes looked at Fang Xiaoqian.

"Thank you! Where did you get the mineral water? I don't see any stalls on this beach? Ye Ting said as he looked around, and his eyes fell on a group of frolicking young men and women not far away, and near them, under a large parasol lay several pieces of mineral water and other boxes containing snacks.

"You didn't steal it with your psychic skills, did you?" Ye Ting's keen eyes had already seen the bottom piece of mineral water open his mouth, and there were two bottles missing.

"It's not called stealing, it's called borrowing from the air! After a day of playing through the teleportation gate to this beach, I was already tired and thirsty. Besides, they have so many bottles, and they can't see two or three less. ”

"To steal is to steal, where is there so much sophistry?" Ye Ting lectured Fang Xiaoqian in a reproachful tone.

"Cold-faced person, you are still a modern person, why are you so old-fashioned? I, an ancient Qing Dynasty woman, are much more enlightened than you! In Lu Xun's words, this is called take-ism! Fang Xiaoqian showed off the "Takeism" she learned many years ago and ridiculed Ye Ting in front of her.

"I can't see it, you still have a little ink in your stomach, and you still talk about the great writer's "Take-It-ism". Can your 'take-it-or-leave-it' be compared to other people's 'take-it-or-leave-it'? If it's not on a level, you've read this book for nothing! Ye Ting scoffed at Fang Xiaoqian's fallacy.

Just when the two were fighting each other for "stealing" and "taking", a sound of a mobile phone came, interrupting the mutual scolding of the two.

Ye Ting took out his mobile phone and picked it up. Lu Ze's hurried voice came from the mobile phone.

"What are you doing? Pick up your phone, it's almost time, you need to hurry back through the teleportation door. Originally, it would have been more than six hours, and it would not be much of a problem if you could not come back, but it was a big deal that you could come back by transportation. But now I've just discovered that this teleportation portal has an anti-devouring function, and if I can't come back on time, I'll ......."

Fang Xiaoqian, who had excellent hearing, heard the content of the phone on the side, and without waiting for Lu Ze to finish his words on the other end of the phone, he snatched the phone, pressed the speakerphone and asked loudly:

"What will happen? Say it! ”

"You will be taken to another place by the teleportation portal's counter-devouring power. I don't know where it will take it. Lu Ze explained to Fang Xiaoqian and Ye Ting on the other end of the phone.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? How much longer? When Fang Xiaoqian heard this, she hurriedly panicked.

"Who can blame? You didn't wait for me to finish speaking, and then rushed into the teleportation door! Now you have ten minutes left, hurry up and find the location where the teleportation door appeared, stand there, and I'll help you open it. Hurry up! Fast! ”

After Lu Ze finished speaking, he quickly hung up the phone first, then stood in front of a wall in the ward, first threw something similar to a chip in his hand to the wall, and then spread his palms flat and made a semi-rotating motion against the wall. In a moment, a door gradually appeared on the empty wall.

"Cold-faced man, quick! Hurry up and find the teleportation door, we only have ten minutes! Senior Brother Lu said that only by finding the location where we came before can he come and pick us up! Fang Xiaoqian said as she dragged Ye Ting's hand and ran forward.

"I remember, this is the position, I was lying here at the time." Fang Xiaoqian found the location where she came out of the teleportation door before.

"That's right, it's the location here, we just fell here after we got out of the teleportation door." Ye Ting looked at the sand under his feet and nodded and said.

Just as the two were talking, the beach under Ye Ting's feet collapsed, and Ye Ting was defenseless and immediately sank.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaoqian hurriedly reached out to pull him, but as a result, he also sank down.

At this time, Lu Ze, when he was about to step into the teleportation gate, felt a powerful suction coming towards him, he knew that something was wrong, and at the same time as being sucked in, he quickly slapped An Yawen away from him.

"Senior brother, you?" An Yawen was knocked to the ground for no reason, and looked at Lu Ze with a pair of puzzled eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll bring Xiaoqian and them back together!" As soon as the words fell, Lu Ze disappeared along with the door.

"Senior brother-" An Yawen saw Lu Ze disappear in front of him, and hurriedly got up and flew to the wall, trying to follow, but was bounced back to the ground by the wall.

This scene happened to be seen by a little nurse who pushed the door in, and exclaimed in shock:

"It's not good, someone is going to commit suicide by hitting the wall!"

The little nurse hurried to Anyawen, who was lying on the ground, to see the injury on her head.

"Don't shout, no one is going to commit suicide here, you shouldn't be dazzled." Anyavan raised his head and quickly explained to the nurse.

The nurse saw that Anyarvan's forehead was unscathed and wondered if she had really read it wrong, so she smiled awkwardly.

"I'm so sorry, I might be dazzled, it's okay! Then I'll be busy! After the little nurse helped Anyavin up, she turned around and walked out of the room quickly.

Ye Ting looked at the desert in front of him showing a golden color, and countless wrinkles of sand and stones swelled like solidified waves, extending to the golden horizon in the distance.

"Holy—how did you get to the desert?" Lu Ze's voice sounded in Ye Ting's ears.

"Why are you here? By the way, what about Xiaoqian? Ye Ting turned his head to look at Lu Ze, remembered Xiao Qian, and hurriedly looked around, looking for Fang Xiaoqian.

"I'm here—pull me out!" Fang Xiaoqian's voice came with the wind.

Ye Ting and Lu Ze followed the sound and saw Fang Xiaoqian, who was half buried in the yellow sand not far away.

When Ye Ting was about to approach, Lu Ze stopped him first.

"This is quicksand, don't go over!" After Lu Ze said that, he jumped into the air, flew up, and when he flew above Fang Xiaoqian, he grabbed Fang Xiaoqian's arm and pulled her out.

"Look at the good thing you invented, teleporting people to quicksand!" Fang Xiaoqian, who came out of the quicksand, dusted off the sand on her body and complained to Lu Ze.

"It's a pure invention mistake, but I also came with me quickly, just to take you back!" Lu Ze said to Fang Xiaoqian and Ye Ting.

"Then take us back quickly! It's going to get dark soon, so why don't you spend the night in this desert? Fang Xiaoqian looked at the dead sea of sand, and a sense of foreboding came up.

Lu Ze took out something like a chip again and threw it into the air, a blue light quickly flashed, and the thing fell back into Lu Ze's hand.

"Looks like we're going to have to spend the night in the desert. The teleportation door has run out of energy, and it will not be able to open it again until it has absorbed enough solar energy during the day. Lu Ze explained to Fang Xiaoqian and Ye Ting.

As the sky darkened, the three of them walked in the endless desert. There is a whirlwind in the desert, one by one, rolling up the yellow sand so high that it is like a big smoke rising from the flat ground, and it is running around the desert.

"Senior brother, when are we going to go here?" Fang Xiaoqian asked Lu Ze.

"I've seen it with the gossip compass, and after walking for half an hour, I'll be in a small town." After Lu Ze finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Ye Ting.

"Can you hold on?" It must be that Ye Ting is a mortal body, and he still can't compare with them as spirit demons.

Ye Ting, who was tired of walking, didn't say anything, just nodded at Lu Ze.

Half an hour later, they saw a building like an ancient castle not far away appear in front of them. However, at this moment, a gust of wind hit the desert, and the sand flew up.

"Quick—pull him up first!" Lu Ze yelled at Fang Xiaoqian. When Fang Xiaoqian heard this, she immediately cooperated with Lu Ze, picked up Ye Ting at the same time, and flew towards the ancient castle.

As soon as he hid in the ancient castle, the overwhelming yellow sand also flew in front of him.

"Wow, that's horrible. It's the first time I've seen this one!" Fang Xiaoqian pointed to the flying yellow sand outside and said to them.

"Fortunately, you calculated in advance that there is a place to live, at least you can carry it tonight." Fang Xiaoqian snapped her fingers as she spoke, and with a snap, a fire fold appeared in her hand. Holding it, he looked at the castle in front of him.

The castle seems to have been deserted for a long time, and under the dim light of the fire, the silent castle is covered with an eerie mystery.

"This castle looks like it's been around for thousands of years, right?" Ye Ting looked at the strange patterns on the walls of the castle.

"You guessed it, this castle is thousands of years old. But, oddly enough, how did it reappear on the ground again? It really doesn't make sense! ”

Lu Ze had a puzzled look written on his face, which made Fang Xiaoqian and Ye Ting look confused, and they didn't understand what he meant.

What do you mean by that? Can you tell us about it? Fang Xiaoqian's curiosity was aroused, so she chased after Lu Ze and hurriedly asked.

After Lu Ze glanced at the two of them, he shifted his gaze to the strange pattern on the walls of the ancient castle.

"Don't rush me, I'll tell you slowly!"

As a result, a legend about the thousand-year-old castle came out of Lu Ze's mouth......
