A bed that traverses countless worlds

"Holy crap! What kind of place is this?" Lin Yu lay on the bed, staring at the boundless golden sea of ​​sand before him, and couldn't help but swear.

The scorching sun baked the earth, and the air was filled with a suffocating heat.

He felt his soul power was unusually violent here, like a wild horse that could go out of control at any moment.

call--!

A fierce wind howled, whipping up clouds of yellow sand that cut into Lin Yu's face like countless tiny blades.

"Ouch—it hurts!" He quickly shrank his neck; this damned place was even more dangerous than he had imagined.

The fine sand particles were everywhere, seeping into his clothes and hair, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

The ground suddenly trembled violently, and Lin Yu felt his bed shake a few times.

He quickly grabbed the edge of the bed and stared nervously ahead.

In the distance, a colossal figure slowly rose from the sea of ​​sand, blotting out the sky and the sun, like an ancient beast descending upon the world.

"Holy crap! What the hell?!" Lin Yu's eyes widened, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat.

As the enormous figure drew closer, Lin Yu finally saw its true form—a giant sand worm!

It has a carapace as hard as steel, gleaming with a metallic luster; its enormous mouth is filled with sharp teeth, emitting a nauseating, fishy stench.

Soul Sandworm!

Lin Yu instantly recognized the ferocious creature.

They are the overlords of the Soul Desert, living by devouring souls, and their strength is extremely terrifying.

"Oh my god, this is really bad..." Lin Yu swallowed hard, feeling his palms starting to sweat.

Is this soul sandworm here to send him back to town to resurrect?

The Soul Sandworm opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar as it pounced on Lin Yu.

"System! Help!" Lin Yu shouted...

"Ding! Host detected to be attacked by soul sandworms, emergency defense mode activated!" The system's cold electronic voice rang in Lin Yu's mind.

At the same time, the bed beneath him suddenly shook, and a strange energy fluctuation instantly spread out, forming an invisible barrier that blocked the attack of the soul sandworm.

The immense impact made Lin Yu feel as if his internal organs were about to shift.

He gripped the edge of the bed tightly, his face pale and covered in cold sweat.

My goodness, the sandworm's attack power is insane!

The sandworm, having missed its target, let out an angry roar, its massive body tumbling in the sea of ​​sand, stirring up waves of sand.

Lin Yu felt as if he were in the middle of a raging storm, and could be swallowed up by the giant waves at any moment.

"System, is there any way to deal with this thing?" Lin Yu suppressed his fear and asked the system for help.

"Ding! Weakness detected in the Soul Sandworm: its abdominal carapace is thin. It is recommended that the host focus on attacking its abdomen."

"Abdomen? Great!" Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately had an idea.

He maneuvered the bed, skillfully dodging the sandworm's attacks, while gathering all his strength to prepare for a fatal blow to the giant creature.

"Watch this, attack from under the bed drawer!" Lin Yu shouted, and a huge drawer suddenly popped out from under the bed and slammed into the sandworm's abdomen.

With a muffled thud, a crack appeared on the abdominal carapace of the sandworm!

"Holy crap! It worked!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly. This drawer under the bed was simply his secret weapon!

The sandworm, in pain, let out a shrill roar, and its huge body began to tremble violently.

It clearly hadn't expected that this seemingly frail human could actually hurt it.

"One more shot!" Lin Yu pressed his advantage, manipulating the drawer under the bed once more to smash the sandworm's abdomen.

Click!

The cracks grew wider and wider until the sandworm's abdominal carapace finally gave way and shattered completely!

"Roar--"

The sandworm let out a desperate wail, and its massive body collapsed with a crash, stirring up a cloud of yellow sand.

"Phew—" Lin Yu let out a long sigh of relief, collapsed onto the bed, feeling utterly powerless.

This battle was more difficult than he had imagined.

As he gazed at the endless yellow sand, a strange longing suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Aisha... Alice..." he murmured to himself, "Wait for me to go back..."

“Aisha… Alice…” Lin Yu murmured these two names that were incredibly important to him.

Their smiling faces appeared in his mind, like a clear spring, nourishing his parched heart.

A gentle smile crept onto his lips, but the next second, he jolted awake!

Now is not the time for sentimental love!

He took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing the longing in his heart, and his gaze sharpened once again.

"Something's not right!" Lin Yu suddenly sensed something amiss.

Logically, the Soul Sandworm should have become even more ferocious after suffering such severe injuries, but it remained motionless, lying there like a small mountain, its huge compound eyes staring intently at him, flashing with an eerie light.

"What's going on? Is this thing... contemplating life?" Lin Yu muttered to himself. The sandworm's reaction was completely unexpected and left him baffled.

He carefully maneuvered the bed, tentatively moving it forward a few steps.

The Soul Sandworm did not launch an attack, but simply watched him quietly, as if observing his every move.

"Could it be afraid?" A question flashed through Lin Yu's mind, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

The Soul Sandworm is the overlord of the desert; how could it easily back down?

He manipulated the bed again, taking a few steps back.

This time, the Soul Sandworm finally reacted!

It slowly raised its head, and its massive body began to writhe, making a teeth-grinding grinding sound.

"Holy crap! What's it going to do?" Lin Yu's heart tightened, and he quickly prepared for battle.

He didn't want to experience the thrill of being chased and beaten by sandworms again.

However, what happened next completely stunned him.

The soul sandworm did not attack him, but slowly turned around and crawled into the depths of the desert, leaving him with only a huge back view.

"It's... gone?" Lin Yu stared blankly in the direction the Soul Sandworm had gone, feeling like his brain wasn't quite processing what was happening.

What on earth is this guy up to?

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to continue.

The Oasis of Souls is waiting for him; he must find it as soon as possible.

He manipulated the bed, moving it slowly forward.

Just then, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.

"Who?" Lin Yu turned around abruptly, only to see...
