Seer: I, Miris, have no obstacles in my evolution

"Mother, do you have any other clues about the magic box?"

After some conversation, Wind Child Lan couldn't help but ask.

Although the Pandora's Box has been opened, he has not yet been able to perceive any changes it has caused to the universe. The Pandora's Box seems to be open, yet it seems to be no different from not being opened at all.

"The Magic Box itself is taboo, and there are very few records about it. Relying on the power of the Magic Box is just wishful thinking on our part."

"The only way to know its secret is to go to the place where it was discovered."

"The Temple of Rost?"

"Yes, then you'd better not go alone. Wait until Lina has recovered from her injuries and done thorough research and preparation before you go to investigate."

Is it dangerous there?

"This danger does not refer to dangers related to terrain or biology, but rather to unknown dangers."

"Oh right! Before I came here, I ran into that guy, I think his name was Yueyue. Shinra won't stand idly by, that's what he said."

"Wind Child Lan said with a solemn expression."

Upon hearing this, Aish, the Hope of the Sky, gazed wistfully at the distant sky: "Shinra?"

"I don't know if our choice was right or wrong."

On the other side, after parting ways with Wind Child Lan, Luna did not leave the Bree system, but instead arrived at the Rost Temple ahead of them.

Although the Moon Corona had already decided to no longer serve the Shinra, it couldn't suppress its curiosity. What changes would occur at its birthplace, the Temple of Rost, after the opening of the Pandora's Box?

Perhaps he can find a way to survive future calamities, or perhaps he will find nothing at all, but if he can emerge unscathed, he will have satisfied his adventurous spirit.

The Temple of Rost is one of only two areas in the Bree system that inspire fear and dread. As more and more adventurers perish or disappear here, its value for exploration increases.

The other is the top of the frost tree.

An endless desert, undulating sand dunes...

"After conquering the Frosty Heaven Technique, what surprises will this desert bring me? I can't wait! I'll be the first to unlock the secrets of the Pandora's Box!"

With excitement, the Moon Crown traveled a long and arduous journey, crossing an endless desert, and arrived at its destination on the map.

What's puzzling is that there's nothing there except a deep canyon, let alone the Temple of Rost.

The Moon Corona had anticipated this situation; if the Temple of Rost could be found on a map, it wouldn't deserve to be called one of only two truly fearsome regions in the Bree system.

However, the location marked on the map must be related to the Temple of Rost; perhaps some mechanism needs to be activated?

Luna cautiously explored her surroundings, trying to find the mechanism that would reveal the Temple of Rost.

Suddenly, the earth roared, and endless sandstorms surged in from all directions. A strange-looking figure gradually emerged from the sandstorm.

The figure resembled a combination of a giant eyeball with countless tentacles and a giant snake.

A purple snake head, devoid of facial features, was roughly open, revealing an eerie purple energy sphere, resembling a pupil.

The snake's head is surrounded by several rings of sand and gravel, which, together with the black ring patterns on the sand and gravel, form a shape similar to a pharaoh's headdress.

Above the snake's head grows a pair of thick, jet-black wings covered with white bone spurs.

The purple energy sphere in the center, resembling an eyeball, continuously emitted gravity like a black hole, drawing in gusts of black, malevolent wind that whipped up sand and gravel.

Its long, jet-black body coiled in a spiral behind it, its entire body covered with countless sharp bone spikes.

This figure was none other than the guardian of the Rost Temple, the earth-shadow elf from the Sand Dune, who had been sighted as a mysterious monster.

"Intruder, please leave before I lose my temper!"

The narrow sand dune glared menacingly, its coiled body constantly circling, its head drawing in and out sand and dust, like the eye of an impending storm.

"How interesting. The monster guarding the Temple of Rost, it seems I'm quite close to the truth!"

Luna was not surprised by the appearance of Sand Dune Narrowness. Knowing the situation and already prepared, he naturally launched an attack without hesitation, starting with his fully charged fifth skill.

"Moon and Star Mark Flow!"

Sword intent blazed in Yuemiao's eyes, and chilling energy and light converged behind him, filling the gap in the crescent moon suspended above his head and transforming it into a brand new full moon.

With a sweep of his Moonlight Sword, several crescent-shaped sword energies flashed past, leaving trails that rippled like flowing water.

The next moment, the full moon descended rapidly, merging with crescent-shaped sword energies, and crashed into the narrow sand dune with unstoppable force.

"Anyone who dares to ignore my warning and trespass into the Temple of Rost shall die!"

Seeing that the opponent ignored his warning, Sand Dune immediately launched a counterattack with an equally powerful attack.

"The wind rises, and the world becomes turbid!"

The speed at which the snake's body spun across the narrow dune suddenly increased violently, and the shadow power transformed into a fierce wind that emanated from itself, sweeping up endless sand and dust.

The power of the earth suddenly erupted, gathering endless sand and dust into a terrifying sandstorm that crashed into the crescent-shaped sword energy.

A deafening roar echoed through the silent desert, followed by a solitary plume of smoke rising straight into the sky. The shockwave from the collision of the two attacks shone like the sun.

The result of the duel was a draw, and neither side was able to complete the task of clearing the invaders. The narrow sand dune grew increasingly angry.

The anger caused the surrounding sandstorm to intensify, gradually forming a unique sand barrier that enveloped its body.

"The sandstorm is raging!"

Suddenly, the sand barrier that had enveloped them expanded dramatically, sweeping towards the moon corona like dancers.

Unfazed by the attack, Yuemian swiftly drew her longsword into the sand with a cold gleam, her movements incredibly agile as she dodged the onslaught of sand and rapidly closed the gap between the dunes.

"Sharp Ice Sword!"

As the moon corona approached the narrow sand dune, the longsword transformed into a razor-sharp ice sword, dancing with the moon corona's flickering form and relentlessly slashing at the sand dune's massive body.

Faced with the relentless advance of the Moon Corona, the Narrow Sand Dune appeared utterly disdainful, quietly gathering the power of the earth and shadow onto its massive tail.

"The mountains are shattered!"

The next moment, the tail, enveloped in dual-attribute power, suddenly hardened, and then lashed out with a series of whooshing sounds to meet the ice sword slashing from the moon crown.

The narrow sand dune displayed a speed and agility that were completely inconsistent with its massive body, and the rhythm of its tail waving was in no way inferior to that of the moon corona.

Clang clang clang—

Apart from the sound of sand swirling in the air, there was only a crisp sound like metal being struck.

The two attacks were equally powerful and fast. Every slash of the ice sword was blocked by the tail, and every sweep of the tail was deflected by the ice sword.

But is that really the case? Is this all the guardian of the prestigious Temple of Rost has to offer?

A sense of unease crept into Yuemian's heart.
