Chapter 1: The Lone Wanderer in the Sand Sea
Pei Guangyu, Nanhua Star, in the far west of the Jun'an Continent, there is a Xingyao Desert rich in Xingyao Sand.
Eight thousand years ago, there was a prosperous city with a population of 10 million on the edge of the Xingyao Desert. At that time, the Star Sand City was majestic and majestic, sheltering every sand hunter who came and went here, and the city was full of shops and monks, and no one would have thought that it would be destroyed overnight. The reason for its demise was that another desert, the 'Blue Sand Sea', appeared out of thin air, leaving it isolated from the mainland, unable to enter or escape.
The blue sand sea is a blue sand desert composed of light blue fine sand, which is boundless and magnificent like the blue sea. Because it is blocked from vitality, and there are sand demons in the daytime, and sand ghosts are rampant at night, it has become a terrifying Jedi that terrifies countless powerful monks.
It was the middle of summer, and the moon was scarce at night.
At this time, a man with his upper body and only animal skin wrapped in his lower body was lying on the blue sand, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. His head was half buried by the sand blown by the wind, and he held one arm against his head, and in his hand he clutched a bead that emitted a blue glow, adding a touch of color to the endless night.
It was also the presence of this bright color that saved him from being infested by the sand ghosts that ravaged the blue sand sea at night.
The wind and sand whistled and flew, blocking the moonlight that sprinkled on this sea of sand.
More and more sand was scattered on the man's body by the wind and sand, and it seemed that it would not be long before he would be swallowed up by the blue sand and become a part of the blue sand.
At this moment, the bead in the man's hand was blue and bright.
Suddenly, a blue shadow floated out of the bead, and the shadow solidified and turned into a woman with an outstanding posture. The woman's figure was hazy and illusory, and she could vaguely distinguish that she had blue hair that fell down her waist.
She looked at the man lying on the sand and was about to be buried by the wind and sand, Emei frowned slightly, and after a short thought, she moved lightly and stopped beside the man. The jade fingers were lightly dusted, and all the blue sand covering the man's body slipped off, and the palm of his hand was raised, and the man's body floated up, and then turned over and changed from lying on his stomach to lying down. It seemed that the man's mouth and nose were covered by perforated animal skins, leaving only his eyes closed, and the woman's brows furrowed again.
"It's so troublesome!" the blue-haired woman whispered dissatisfiedly, her voice was cold and ethereal, and the terrifying sand ghost, who had only dared to linger outside the ghostly light emitted by the beads in the man's hand, retreated even further.
With a flick of her jade fingers, she pulled the man's masked animal skin to her neck, revealing a face as dark as his bare upper body.
This face is very young, with prominent cheekbones, deep sunken eye sockets, rough skin and severe molting, an extremely tired demeanor, and lips that are chapped and white, covered with blackened blood.
The blue-haired woman's jade hand was curled, and she saw that there was a cloud of water vapor in her palm that was constantly rotating and condensing.
After a few breaths, the vapor condensed into a fist-sized cloud of clear water that was still dripping and swirling. Just look at the blue-haired woman again, her already hazy figure is even more illusory, as if she is about to collapse and dissipate.
The blue-haired woman pressed a little on the man's neck, and his mouth immediately opened, and then the ball of clear water was injected into his mouth......
Bang –
The moment the man's body fell to the sand, he had already sat up with a spirit.
"Damn, I'm asleep again!" the man said to himself, pursing his lips, "I seem to have a dream that I went back to Earth and drank all the water in a swimming pool!"
He got up and shook his head, patted his ears, and felt a lot lighter on his body.
The wind and sand slapped on his face, crackling, and his expression did not change in the slightest, obviously he had long adapted to this environment. Outside the ghostly light, humanoid and beast-shaped sand ghosts flashed red eyes around them, sometimes roaring, sometimes opening their teeth and dancing their claws, he was also used to it.
Looking at the bead emitting a faint blue light in his hand, he said with some doubts: "Why is it darker, won't it be impossible to guide the way?" As he spoke, as soon as he let go of his hand, his spiritual power was injected into it, and the bead flew in one direction, not very fast, just enough for him to chase forward.
"It's okay, it's okay, Kausin is perfect, that wild ghost is quite reliable!" he pulled up the perforated hide, covering his mouth and nose again, and chased after the blue glowing bead against the whistling wind and sand.
The blue-haired woman was as if she had never appeared.
The man struggling forward in the wind and sand of the turquoise sand sea is called Liu Hui, a native of the earth.
Three years ago, at the age of 22, Liu Hui graduated from college, and to celebrate his graduation, he and his girlfriend of four years planned an adventurous graduation trip to the Taklamakan mobile desert, known as the "Sea of Death," which he had longed for.
He had heard of the mysterious danger of the Taklamakan Desert, so he made a lot of preparations before setting off, thinking that there would be no danger in the developed route with reference to the strategy, but he didn't expect that there was an accident in the process of traveling, on the way to the ruins of Niya, they encountered quicksand invasion, and in just a few breaths of time, the yellow sand was buried in his waist, and he didn't have time to think, Liu Hui used all his strength, and struggled to lift his girlfriend out before he completely fell into the quicksand, and finally fell into darkness and lost consciousness in the cry and scream of his girlfriend.
When I woke up again, I was in another world, a Jedi that had been isolated from the world for 8,000 years.
There are also a group of poor people who are trapped in it, have no hope for the future, have become numb to life, and have to fight all kinds of desert monsters day and night.
They are the descendants of the remnants of the original Star Glory City, and live in the Star Glory Village, which was built on the site of the original Star Shine City.
Unlike the villagers of Xingyao Village, who gave up the struggle and had no hope of getting out of the desert, Liu Hui is optimistic by nature and believes that there is no endless way for people to go.
For more than two years, he followed Abba, who took him in, to learn the language and writing of this world, and with great perseverance, he awakened the elemental power without the vitality of heaven and earth, and became a middle-level awakened person with a strong body.
Half a year ago, during a hunt for sand demons, he met a remnant soul who claimed to be an ancestor of Starlight City, saying that he could help them escape from the trapped desert. At first, Liu Hui didn't take it to heart, and only thought that the other party had ulterior motives.
But then several important discoveries dispelled his suspicions about the remnant soul, and finally after careful discussion by the whole village, everyone unanimously decided to take a gamble, and Abba handed him the position of village chief in front of the whole village before leaving, so that he could take responsibility and lead everyone to find hope for life.
With Lan Yingzhu's help, he has been walking in the desert for six months.
The wind and sand are getting smaller, the east is white, and the sky is about to brighten.
"It's been six months, I've been gone for six months, where is the end......"
Liu Hui was frivolous under his feet, stumbling all the way, and six months of lonely progress in the desert consumed all his faith, passion, blood, and hope. The only thing that sustains him to continue is the obsession in his heart.
The food and water beads on his body have long been consumed, and the food and drink in the recent period have all been obtained by hunting low- and middle-level sand demons hiding under the sand at night. But he passed out before, missed the time to hunt, and now he is extremely weak and tired.
The day is almost dawn, the wind and sand will stop immediately, and the time for the sand demon is coming, and he must lurk under the sand to survive.
His head was drowsy, his eyebrows were lowered, his feet were of different depths, his physical strength had reached the limit and he seemed to be about to fall at any moment, and what was even worse was that his elemental power was exhausted, and it was impossible to escape under the sand......
"I can't fall, I can't ...... For Abba's sake, for Roy's sake, for the thirty-two uncles and aunts in Xingyao Village, I can't fall......"
Touching the stone plaque on his neck, Liu Hui bit the tip of his tongue directly, the pain in his mouth made his brain sober a little, although his vision was still very blurry, he still stubbornly stared at Lan Yingzhu who was leading the way in front of him, and followed it to stagger forward.
The orange sun rose from under the blue sand sea, and the wind and sand that had been tossing all night finally rested, and the terrifying sand ghosts had also slept under the sand.
Liu Hui couldn't move forward upright for a long time, but he still didn't give up, and he was still crawling with difficulty, and the crawling marks behind him stretched for miles......
"Second Miss, look, what is that black thing?"
"A piece of black charcoal, no, that thing is moving, it seems to be a human ......!"
"Let's go see ......"
Liu Hui opened his eyes with difficulty, he felt a white figure approaching him, beckoning to him, he raised his head, grinned, and wanted to reach out to her......
"He didn't move...... Is it dead......"
"Second Miss...... Second Miss ...... You don't want to go over ......"
......
"I actually saw an angel, hehe, I still died, but fortunately, I entered heaven in the end, this ending is not bad, I am finally free, I can finally rest......"
