Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

These sandstorms are getting closer and closer. In fact, the sand that hits directly at them is still bearable, but the most terrifying thing is actually the large amount of sand that is blown into the air.

These sandstorms are often accompanied by strong air currents, which blow piles of sand into the sky. Then, when the sand loses the buoyancy of the wind, it will suddenly fall down. The power is even more terrifying than the water from a large waterfall!
At least water is soft and light, while sand is several times heavier than water. Once these sands pour down like a waterfall, you will either be beaten to death or crushed to pieces and buried alive!

"My ice magic has little defensive effect here." Mu Ningxue originally planned to help with the defense, but the entire desert was filled with dryness and heat, which affected the power of ice magic and water magic to a certain extent.

“Lin Ran and I shouldn’t have any problems!” Zhao Manyan said.

Zhao Manyan's water element was not very effective, but he still had extremely strong light and earth elements. After all, both magics were known for their defense, and with Lin Ran here, he felt that he could withstand it.

"There is a sandstorm coming at nine o'clock. We must quickly defeat it!" said Jiang Shaoxu.

Several people looked towards the nine o'clock direction, and then saw a yellow tornado coming towards them in a large area of ​​turbid sandstorm. Its power was not even inferior to that of a high-level magic!
"Let me do it!" Mu Ningxue said.

This storm is mainly caused by wind, so Mu Ningxue can also use her own thoughts to control the surrounding wind elements.

Soon, an equally huge hurricane appeared in front of Mu Ningxue and rushed towards the oncoming sand hurricane.

The hurricanes collided suddenly, and the winds immediately turned into messy airflows, and then ran around aimlessly.

"Sand waterfall!! Sand waterfall!!"

In the yellow haze, someone shouted.

Zhao Manyan raised his head hastily and saw piles of sand falling like waterfalls, pouring towards them.

If they could move, they hoped to avoid it, but once they moved, they would lose their way, so Zhao Manyan condensed a rock top to protect the people below.

However, the top of the rock was not as solid as imagined. It was soon broken by the terrible sand waterfall. Zhao Manyan hurriedly called Lin Ran to help.

Lin Ran released a barrier of light, covering several people.

“Tatttatttattttt!!!!!!”

The sands hit the golden arc barrier heavily, making a harsh sound.

The impact of these sandstorms was extremely strong. Even if they hid within the light arc barrier, they could feel themselves sinking as a whole.

At first, the sand was scattered around along the arc barrier, but soon the sand piled up more and more, and later even piled up the entire arc barrier.

Mo Fan raised his head and watched helplessly as the sand surrounded them. The sand was so thick that he couldn't see outside at all...

"This is no different from being buried alive, right?" Jiang Yu said with a palpitating heart.

“If Lin Ran’s light barrier can’t hold, then we will be completely buried alive. The Sahara is indeed a very dangerous place. Not to mention the monsters here, the harsh environment alone is not something that an ordinary magician can withstand!” Zhao Manyan said.

"Eh." Jiang Shaoxu sighed.

"It seems like we are trapped now."

"As long as it doesn't move."

It is unknown how long the sandstorm will last, but they are fortunate that the thick sand outside is wrapped around the light barrier, which can barely form a defense and protect them in the sand bunker.

Hearing the rumbling sound outside, you know it's unlikely to stop in a short period of time. Being in such a small space, it makes people feel a little uneasy after all.

"Jiang Yu, go to my bag and find the bottom compartment." Just when everyone was anxious and at a loss, Mo Fan couldn't help but speak.

Lin Ran remembered that Mo Fan seemed to have brought cards with him.

"Oh, oh, okay!" Jiang Yu quickly found Mo Fan's bag, and then he took out a small box wrapped in cardboard from the bottom.

Then he handed the small box to Mo Fan. Except for Lin Ran, everyone else looked at Mo Fan in confusion as he looked calm and composed. Everyone else thought Mo Fan had some solution.

At this time, Mo Fan tore off the outer layer of cardboard, revealing a very common pattern that everyone sees in daily life.

“Come on, come on. Fortunately, I am smart enough to carry playing cards with me. Otherwise, we would be trapped here and bored to death. Come on!” Mo Fan quickly shuffled the cards, then sat on the ground and began to deal the cards.

"woo woo woo woo."

Even through the thick sand, you can still hear the howling sound of the wind and sand outside, and you don't know when it will stop.

"Mo Fan, is there something wrong with you? You actually carry playing cards with you. You know, we are now lost, and Nan Jue is nowhere to be found. Now we are trapped in this damn sand bunker. How can you have the energy to continue playing?" Jiang Yu said to Mo Fan seriously.

"So you won't follow me?" Mo Fan asked.

"Yes." Jiang Yu nodded heavily and said, "I won't follow. I guess your cards must be bigger than mine."

Jiang Yu suddenly threw away the cards in his hand. Even though it was a high-quality soul seed fragment that he threw away, he felt very sad. However, Mo Fan was betting half a soul seed. If Jiang Yu followed suit, he would probably lose a lot.

If Jiang Yu doesn't follow, then Mo Fan will win and get all the spirit seed fragments at once, which is nearly eight million, enough money to buy milk powder for little Yan Ji!
"Oh my god, don't be so anxious to collect the money, show your cards."

"K is the biggest!" Mo Fan said with a sly smile.

“Oh my god, I threw away both of my rings. Mo Fan is such a jerk!”

"By the way, it seems like the power of the dust storm outside has weakened."

"You want to run away after winning? No way! Give me the cards now. I want to win back now."

Lin Ran sat between Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao and said, "The sandstorm has indeed weakened."

The dust outside was gradually decreasing, and considering that Nanjue might have returned to her original position, everyone stopped fighting.

……

Everyone began to peel off the thick sand and dust. After a long time, everyone finally removed all the sand and dust covering them. Only then did they realize that the sand they were on had turned into a high sand dune without them knowing when.

"It's really exaggerated. The altitude of the sand here has suddenly increased by dozens of meters." Zhao Manyan glanced around. He could no longer recognize that this was where they had been before.

Looking at the unrecognizable desert, if they had not stayed here from beginning to end, one would have thought that they had been blown to another desert by the strong wind and sandstorm!
The flat sand suddenly turned into an undulating sand dune, which was really annoying.

The yellow dust was still floating in the sky, but after a few hours, the desert gradually became clear. Everyone expected Nanjue to appear a kilometer away in a certain direction and release the signal they had agreed on before, but the surroundings were still empty and there was no sign of Nanjue at all.

"It seems that waiting like this is not a solution." Jiang Yu was a little shaken now. He looked around at the rolling sand dunes and said, "You have seen the power of the sandstorm before. It can completely create a large desert again. The place where we are standing now is very different from before. It is very likely that we are more than one kilometer away from the exit of the desert maze. And Nanjue may not have moved at all. It may be that we are not standing where we should be."

“That’s indeed possible. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to see anything in any direction. It’s clear that Nan Jue was less than a kilometer away from me before. Now, let alone one kilometer, I guess I can’t even see her within a five-kilometer radius,” Zhao Manyan said.

"Let me tell you, many teams that are completely lost in the desert maze are because of people like you two who say such misleading words, which leads everyone to really think that this kind of waiting is meaningless and thus go far away. I have heard of the basic knowledge of the Sahara. It is said that the only way to identify in the desert maze is to stand still. As long as you really don't move, it means that you are always in the original place. But once you move, then this desert maze will really take you to the desert of death. At that time, there will be no one to rescue you, and then we may really be buried in this desert forever." Jiang Shaoxu said to the two of them very seriously.

They cannot move. They absolutely cannot move now. It is very dangerous to walk in the desert maze without knowing the correct direction. Moving will only make them sink deeper. Jiang Shaoxu cannot let these two unsteady guys shake the others. After all, this is really not the time to joke. It is difficult for people who get lost in the desert maze to survive!
“Then let’s continue to wait. No matter if it’s windy, rainy, thundering, lightning, dusty or hailful, we must not move, otherwise we may not even have a chance to be rescued,” said Mo Fan.

It can be heard from Jiang Shaoxu's words that she is very serious. Now they really don't have a good way to deal with the desert maze. Even Jiang Yu, who is from the chaos system, probably doesn't have a way to crack it.

Now they can only wait, and it is a boring wait. Now they can only wait unwaveringly. Just as Jiang Shaoxu said, once their hearts are shaken, then they will have completely fallen into the trap of the Desert Mystery World!

……

From day to night, they had been waiting there for about two days without realizing it.

All kinds of negative emotions appeared, such as boredom, fatigue, and panic. These two days seemed particularly long and very torturous. Several people suggested moving around, but they were all rejected very sternly by Jiang Shaoxu.

As the food and water ran out, they became more and more agitated.

Now, this desert maze is not just a simple maze, it is more of a test of everyone's soul.

Fortunately, they all got along quite well with each other along the way. Apart from the occasional chat, they basically maintained a waiting attitude.

"I say, do we really have to wait any longer?" Zhao Manyan suddenly said with an unpleasant expression.

"Yes, we have to wait. Didn't you hear what Jiang Shaoxu said before?" Mo Fan said affirmatively.

Lin Ran looked in a certain direction and saw a demonic aura.

"Can you take a look at the location of that sand dune first, and then answer me?" Zhao Manyan suddenly pointed at one of the wavy sand dunes, and then a group of light gray figures gradually emerged from the sand dune.

Several people looked over and found that a long migrating team had appeared on the wavy sand dunes in the distance. Their figures gradually walked out from behind the sand dunes and moved forward along the path that was about to lead here.

If this was just a group of desert foxes, Zhao Manyan could have treated them calmly, but the problem was that these desert foxes were much larger than ordinary foxes, even as big as an adult buffalo.

Their tails are very long, some of them can even drag on the ground and stretch several meters away, while others have their tails raised up and constantly swinging, just like fluffy snakes and pythons.

The fangs and claws of these foxes are also very sharp, and you can tell at a glance that they are not good creatures. Their green eyes are emitting a strange light, which shows that they are extremely hungry and irritable at the moment!

"This is a sand fox!" Jiang Yu is an animal expert so he recognized this creature right away, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

In other deserts, these sand foxes are basically lone rangers, because relying on their strength, it is not a problem at all for them to carve out a piece of territory that belongs to them. But now there is a whole group of sand foxes here, and they seem to be in a state of migration. This is really incredible!
The sand foxes were originally creatures that often invaded other people's territories. They would make some demon tribes leave obediently, but I didn't expect that they would be reduced to the point of having to hug each other tightly when migrating...

"Is this thing difficult to deal with?" Mo Fan asked.

The direction these sand foxes are migrating is right here. Judging from how hungry these guys are, they will probably fight with them no matter what. And the most important thing is that they can't move at all now!

Lin Ran was not afraid of these sand foxes. In his opinion, these foxes were the nourishment of the immortal fire. To be honest, he was looking forward to these creatures causing trouble for him.

“Damn! Why are there still scorpions?” Zhao Manyan suddenly screamed.

At this time, other people also discovered scorpions. These scorpions came out of the sand and looked densely packed and very scary.

Lin Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, bring some more snakes!!!
