The sand-loving monster suddenly launched an attack, sweeping across the sky with red sand as it rushed towards Yu Xiangnan!
These are unfriendly NPCs!
The sand beneath her feet seemed to come alive, constantly swirling and sinking, trying to tightly bind Yu Xiangnan's feet and prevent her from moving.
There was no panic in Yu Xiangnan's eyes. At this critical moment, she quickly used Feng Lai's "Rolling Rolling Rolling" skill.
In an instant, a gust of wind howled up, steadily lifting her up and quickly lifting her off the ground. At the same time, the shovel in her hand was thrown out like an arrow, drawing a sharp arc in the air.
"Bang--"
The shovel struck the sand-loving monster's incredibly rough armor with pinpoint accuracy. The powerful impact caused a dazzling spark at the point of contact, followed by a teeth-grinding shattering sound.
The hard armor was shattered instantly!
The sand-loving monster, severely injured, let out a sharp, piercing cry.
It seemed to be enraged and unleashed its skill once more. In an instant, sand and dust filled the sky, obscuring the sun and forming a massive sandstorm vortex that swept towards Yu Xiangnan.
It felt as if I were in a sea of blood.
Her vision was completely obscured by the blood-thick sand, and everything around her became blurry. She could only rely on her senses to fend off wave after wave of attacks from the sand-loving monster.
The Sand Monster's attacks became increasingly fierce and cunning. Although Yu Xiangnan had concentrated on sensing its attacks, he was ultimately unable to defend against them and lost a small portion of his health.
Fortunately, the special shield played a crucial role at this time, absorbing most of the damage and even reflecting some of it back.
Moreover, as soon as her health points dropped, they began to recover at an astonishing rate. The speed was so fast that Yu Xiangnan didn't even have time to use his health and mana recovery cards before her health points were fully restored.
The Sand-Loving Monster's attacks couldn't cause any damage at all.
Yu Xiangnan seized the opportunity and quickly used his small, broken shovel to take care of the sand-loving monster.
[Hint]: Player Yu Xiangnan (ID: H00) has killed 1 (★) High-level Sand-loving Monster
[Loot Obtained]: Sand Bead*1, Experience Points*500
The countdown in the upper right corner was ticking wildly; time was flying by, and she dared not delay.
Finding the "Blessing Potion of the Mute Flower" is one of the goals, while the other goal is to find Bula and Buya.
She needs more information.
Yu Xiangnan reached out and swiped to bring up the panel. The map function clearly displayed the four directions: east, south, west, and north.
They continued heading south.
The fog gradually thickened.
After an unknown amount of time, a figure began to emerge faintly from the mist ahead. She held her breath and looked closely—it was a woman in a white dress, the dress billowing wildly in the wind and sand.
Player? Or NPC?
Yu Xiangnan's heart suddenly raced.
It must be said that the level of danger in this place is worlds apart from that of Earth. On Earth's public map, there wouldn't be so many high-level and hostile NPCs; the safety level there is almost the same as being in a safe zone.
Just as Yu Xiangnan was preparing to find another way, the woman in the white dress suddenly turned around without warning!
I'm looking at her!!!
Yu Xiangnan tensed up, but the next second, the fog suddenly thickened, completely obscuring his vision.
The surroundings were shrouded in a gray haze, with thick fog spreading like a tangible substance, resembling countless hands dancing in the air, brushing against the cheeks and bringing a cool sensation.
Beneath their feet lay a rugged ground pieced together from jagged, grotesque rocks, which seemed to tremble with every step. Strange sounds drifted from afar, like the wind or human voices, muffled and oppressive.
What happened?
[Warning]: You have been subjected to psychological attack.
[Tear of the Elf] is now active.
Yu Xiangnan groped her way forward, when suddenly, she seemed to realize something.
He suddenly turned around.
A bloodless face with distorted features suddenly loomed large before her eyes!
His eyes were wide open, bloodshot, staring intently at her with endless resentment and madness, as if he were about to devour her alive at any moment.
It's...Wei Li?!
"Xiang Nan, why? Why did you do this to me?!" Wei Li said through gritted teeth, his eyes wide open.
"......"
Yu Xiangnan remained expressionless, decisively raised his hand, and swung it sharply. The small, broken shovel, accompanied by a sharp gust of wind, swung straight towards Wei Li!
In an instant, Wei Li's figure vanished like a bubble, turning into a cloud of mist.
Since you're already in the ground, don't come out and cause trouble.
However, since Wei Li was able to "come back to life," it seems that I have indeed fallen victim to his trick.
I've been subjected to a mental attack... Could it be the work of that woman in the white dress? Is it some kind of illusion-like skill?
As I pondered, the surrounding scenery seemed to be stirred by an invisible hand, undergoing another earth-shattering change.
Yu Xiangnan frowned and looked around.
This appears to be the entrance to the residential complex where she lived with her parents before she went to university.
Night had fallen, and the surroundings were dark. Judging from the sky, it was probably around seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and the streetlights at the entrance of the residential area emitted a dim yellow light.
The once familiar scene before my eyes was now shrouded in deathly silence.
The usually bustling streets were deserted, with only a few streetlights shining forlornly along the roadside.
This familiar yet unfamiliar scene inexplicably made her feel a surge of unease.
Yu Xiangnan suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar. As soon as she turned around, two extremely familiar faces made her freeze in place.
Dad, Mom?!
"Silly child, what are you standing there for?"
Before she could speak, she noticed a group of indistinct figures had gathered behind her. These figures had no facial features and surrounded her eerily, whispering in her ear in a strange and seductive tone.
"Do it! This is all a lie. Kill them, and it will all be over..."
Yu Xiangnan's hands involuntarily clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.
What a vicious illusion...
However, once you know it's all fake, it's no use.
Yu Xiangnan gripped the shovel tightly, and just as he made up his mind, the surrounding scene shattered without warning, as if it were made of glass.
She was still standing amidst a blood-red sand dune.
The woman had already disappeared.
Instead, there was a dwarf. He was only fifty centimeters tall, but his face looked like he was over forty years old, with a very noticeable red nose, and he wore a red hat.
Yu Xiangnan remembers him.
He was the dwarf Paladin he encountered in his [reward instance], who was with Bula's master—the [Witch of the Vast Sea]!
