Chapter 344 The Challenge Has Just Begun
The deep roar echoed in the empty desert, as if a giant beast from ancient times was claiming its territory. Li Yunfei and the others instantly tensed up and their heartbeats accelerated.
Li Yunfei held the artifact tightly, leaning forward slightly, in a defensive posture, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring at the direction where the sound came from. "Everyone be careful, get ready for battle!" His voice was deep and powerful.
Lin Yue held the staff tightly in both hands. The gem on the staff flickered with an uneasy light. Her lips trembled slightly and she muttered something, ready to cast magic at any time.
Zhang Hao held up his spear, the tip of which reflected a dazzling light in the sun, his muscles tensed like a volcano about to erupt. "Humph, I want to see what kind of monster it is!" he roared.
The flames in Feng Yu's hands were burning fiercely, and the scorching temperature seemed to ignite the air around her. Her beautiful face was filled with determination and resoluteness at this moment.
Mo Ying's figure was looming behind the crowd, like a cheetah lurking in the darkness, waiting for the best time to attack.
As the roaring sound got closer, the ground began to tremble slightly. Suddenly, a huge sandworm emerged from the sand dune. Its huge body was dozens of meters long, and its hard armor shone with a metallic luster. A column of sand spurted out of its huge mouthparts and rushed straight towards Li Yunfei and others.
Li Yunfei reacted quickly, dodging the attack from the sand column. "Everyone, disperse!" he shouted.
Lin Yue waved his staff, and a magic shield appeared in front of everyone, blocking the flying sand and stones.
Zhang Hao took the opportunity to rush towards the sandworm and stabbed its body with his spear. However, the spear stabbed into the sandworm's hard armor, leaving only a shallow mark.
The sandworm twisted its body angrily, and its tail swept across, bringing up a gust of wind. Feng Yu pushed out a huge ball of fire with both hands, and the fire hit the sandworm's tail, causing its movement to stagnate slightly.
Mo Ying jumped out of the shadows and stabbed the sandworm's eyes with his short blade. The sandworm sensed the danger and shook its head, throwing Mo Ying out heavily.
Li Yunfei took this opportunity to jump high, the magic weapon in his hand shone brightly, and slashed the sandworm's head fiercely. The sandworm let out a painful roar and twisted its body violently.
Lin Yue continued to cast magic, and rays of light shot towards the sandworm. Although they could not cause fatal damage to it, they made it feel very irritated.
Zhang Hao attacked again, and his spear continued to leave marks on the sandworm.
Feng Yu's flames continued to burn, turning the sand around the sandworm into a scorched earth.
Mo Ying shuttled under the sandworm, looking for its weakness.
After a fierce battle, the sandworm's body was covered with scars, but it was still extremely ferocious.
Li Yunfei and others were also panting and exhausted.
"This is not a solution. We must find its fatal weakness!" Li Yunfei shouted.
Lin Yue suddenly thought of something, "I remember reading in an ancient book that the sandworm's weakness is in its abdomen!"
Li Yunfei's eyes narrowed when he heard this, "Everyone, cover me!"
After saying that, he rushed towards the sandworm.
Zhang Hao and Feng Yu attacked the sandworm with all their strength to attract its attention.
Mo Ying was interfering with the sandworm's actions.
Li Yunfei successfully got around the sandworm's abdomen. He raised the magic weapon and stabbed it with all his strength.
The artifact pierced into the sandworm's abdomen, and black blood gushed out.
The sandworm let out a final, desperate roar and fell to the ground with a thud.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
"Finally solved." Zhang Hao said.
Lin Yue wiped the sweat off his face and said, "But we can't stop. We have to keep moving forward."
They took a short rest and continued their journey through the desert.
As time went by, the temperature in the desert grew higher and higher, and the sunlight pierced their skin like a sharp sword.
Li Yunfei's lips were as dry as the land after a long drought, and every breath brought a stinging pain. His throat seemed to be burned by fire, and it was so dry that it was almost smoking. However, his steps were still firm, and his eyes revealed an unyielding determination.
Feng Yu's flame power became unstable due to the high temperature of the surrounding environment. Her face was as pale as paper, and her forehead was covered with sweat. But she clenched her teeth tightly and tried to keep the flame burning.
Mo Ying's steps gradually became heavier, and he felt as if a heavy burden was placed on his body. But he did not stop, but continued to move forward.
At this moment, their eyes fell on an ancient ruin not far ahead. The walls of the ruins were engraved with mysterious runes, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. These runes seemed to contain endless power and secrets, attracting them to approach.
Li Yunfei, Feng Yu and Mo Ying looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with excitement. They knew that the key to solving the dilemma might be hidden here. So they quickened their pace and walked towards the ruins.
Li Yunfei and others walked into the ruins, which were filled with an old atmosphere.
Suddenly, a stone door slowly opened and a mysterious figure walked out.
The figure was shrouded in a black robe and his face could not be seen clearly.
"You're finally here." The mysterious man's voice was low and hoarse.
Li Yunfei looked at the mysterious man warily, "Who are you?"
The mysterious man laughed, "I am the guardian of this desert and a witness to the power of darkness."
Everyone was shocked.
The mysterious man continued, "The dark forces have penetrated deep into this desert. The challenges you face have just begun."
