"After a day's worth of statistics, we regret to inform you that a total of 126 people were killed in the sandstorm, 284 are missing, and 197 have withdrawn from the assessment due to serious injuries. We hope that those who are still participating in the assessment can protect themselves. If you encounter any danger, please withdraw from the assessment immediately. Staff will escort you out of the Western Wasteland."
When he saw the news from the Sky Sea Special Training Camp, Qin Chuan's expression couldn't help but become extremely shocked. Although he had expected many people to die in this sandstorm, he didn't expect so many to die. There were even nearly three hundred people whose whereabouts were unknown!
"In such a desolate desert, if you go missing, it basically means you're dead."
Lü Zi sighed. "Now, we just need to find their bodies and confirm their identities."
At this moment, Lü Zi was really glad that Qinchuan was with her. If she had participated in the assessment alone, it would have been very difficult for her to make the correct decision to avoid the danger brought by the sandstorm. She might have ended up like the others, either dead or missing.
Qinchuan nodded lightly and said to Lü Zi, "No matter what, we have to live well and do our best to survive until the end.
Let's go, let's continue on our way. "
Originally, Qinchuan and Lü Zi would occasionally run into one or two people who were traveling with them, but as they gradually ventured deeper into the Western Wasteland, they often did not even see a shadow of a ghost, much less a person.
This was already the fourth day that Qinchuan and Lü Zi had ventured into the Western Wasteland. There were still two days until the end of the assessment. At this time, apart from receiving news from the Sky Sea Special Training Camp, they had completely lost contact with the outside world. They did not know if anyone had already completed the assessment and successfully become a member of the Sky Sea Special Training Camp. They also did not know how many people were working hard behind them, nor did they know how many people had already chosen to give up.
Lü Zi was very glad that she was able to travel together with Qinchuan. If she had to walk alone in this endless desert, perhaps her spirit would have already collapsed.
"How much longer until we reach the Tianhai Special Training Camp?" Lü Zi looked at the desert in front of her with a slightly anxious gaze. "How long have we been walking?"
After staying in the desert for so long, Lü Zi had completely lost the concept of time. She only knew that she had to hurry on with her journey when the sun rose and find a place to hide from the sandworms when the sun set.
It had only been four days since the desert, but in Lü Zi's mind, it felt like a year had passed.
Qinchuan could understand Lü Zi's situation. Even he could not hold on any longer. Physical exhaustion was not the scariest thing. The scariest thing was mental exhaustion and despair!
"Hold on a little longer. Trust me, we will definitely reach our destination before nightfall!"
Qinchuan gripped Lü Zi's hand tightly. Looking at Lü Zi's pale face, he said seriously, "Don't abandon, don't give up. We will walk to the end together!"
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Lü Zi gritted her teeth fiercely. Her voice was weak but firm. "We will walk to the end together!"
When the sky gradually darkened, Qinchuan and Lü Zi tacitly began to look for a place to shelter from the wind. At this moment, a small wooden sign attracted Lü Zi's attention.
Lü Zi picked up the wooden sign that had fallen to the ground. Looking at the blurry words on it, she read in a low voice, "Ten thousand meters ahead … Tianhai … Special Training Camp?!"
Seeing these words, Lv Zi's eyes suddenly burst with an extremely bright light, and she cheered, "Tianhai Special Training Camp!
We're here!
Right in front! "
Not far away, Qinchuan heard Lü Zi's shout and immediately ran over. He looked at himself on the wooden sign and said excitedly to Lü Zi, "Only ten thousand meters left!
We will definitely be able to walk there tonight! "
"Let's do it in one go. We will rest when we reach the special training camp!" Lü Zi looked at Qinchuan. "It's the last ten thousand meters. We have to finish it no matter what!"
Qinchuan nodded vigorously and said to Lü Zi, "No matter how many sandworms block our way tonight, we will kill our way through!"
The excited Qinchuan and Lü Zi stepped on the road forward without any hesitation. Taking advantage of the fact that the night had not completely fallen, they walked a thousand meters in just a moment. At this time, the temperature in the desert had gradually dropped. The sandworms that had rested underground for an entire day finally came out of the ground and began to move. The two living people, Qinchuan and Lü Zi, became the fattest food in the eyes of the sandworms.
"Thunder Manipulation Charm Array, activate!"
Qinchuan roared angrily and used the Thunder Manipulation Charm Array to form a thunder net that enveloped the sandworms around them. Countless sandworms were killed the moment they touched the thunder net. However, even though the corpses of their companions kept falling, the sandworms still charged toward Qinchuan and Lü Zi fearlessly. Gradually, the defense of the Thunder Manipulation Charm Array showed a loophole.
"Help me buy some time!" Qinchuan said to Lü Zi in a deep voice, "I want to inscribe the Five Elements Rotation Charm Array Combination!"
Lü Zi nodded and said to Qinchuan, "Leave it to me!"
Although Lü Zi was not good at frontal combat, her attainments in illusion arrays were far beyond ordinary people. It was easy to use illusion arrays to confuse these sandworms that did not have much intelligence and only relied on their instincts to move!
"Purple Star Divine Eye!"
Lü Zi roared, and her bright eyes gradually turned into a deep purple color. A purple eyeball appeared on top of her head, emitting a charming purple light. The sandworms nearby stopped charging under the illumination of this purple light, and then they turned around and charged at their companions behind them, fighting with their companions!
As time passed, more and more sandworms were charmed by the light of the Purple Star Divine Eye and became the most loyal "guards" around Qinchuan and Lü Zi. They guarded every inch of space around Qinchuan and Lü Zi, and no enemy could cross their line of defense!
Just as these sandworms and their companions were fighting enthusiastically, Qinchuan pursed his lips and said to Lü Zi, "Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me."
Lü Zi looked back at the huge array combination beside Qinchuan and smiled. "Then I'll leave it to you."
"Wild Sand!"
Qinchuan roared angrily, and one of the Five Elements Rotation Charm Array Combination in front of him suddenly shone brightly. The sand in all directions surged wildly under the influence of this charm array, swallowing the surrounding sandworms like a wave. In the blink of an eye, the area around Qinchuan and Lü Zi was cleared clean!
Not only that, Qinchuan even borrowed the force of the sea of sand to lift himself and Lü Zi forward quickly, teleporting a thousand meters!
