Originally, it once teemed with vitality, bringing hope of life to the entire small town.
Cheng Luo took a few steps forward and suddenly heard someone calling her. She responded and looked back, surprisingly it was her senior!
The senior was dressed neatly in a white short sleeve shirt, standing not far away from her, mechanically raising his mobile phone and saying, "Go back... go back..."
"What?" Cheng Luo was a bit puzzled. She ran a few steps to ask the senior how he ended up here too, but she couldn’t get close to him.
He was like a lifeless shell, just waving his hand with a smile, endlessly repeating, "Go back, go back."
A massive chill surged up from the depths of her heart, making Cheng Luo stop breathing. She dared not move forward, her body starting to tremble slightly.
Suddenly, the warm sunlight was obscured by thick clouds, the pond and green grass behind withered rapidly, even the poplar trees fell barren, and in an instant, a massive black sandstorm turned this place into a terrifying Hell.
The city was filled with countless screams, cries for help, and wailing.
Cheng Luo felt she couldn’t control her body at all. She seemed like a spectator forced to watch a calamity, unable to do anything but stand still and witness everything in front of her.
"The curse of Irileth! The curse of Irileth has come!!"
She heard someone crying out in despair.
This sandstorm overwhelmed everything, quickly burying the entire small town completely. The chaotic shouting gradually disappeared, and the massive black sand opened its bloody mouth like a giant monster, swallowing this small town whole.
Suddenly, the scene shifted to a small team of over twenty people fleeing. They supported each other and ran into a stone house, where the black sandstorm blew the wooden door apart, and a mass of black things surged in – it was a group of huge rats with glowing red eyes, which instantly flooded the stone house. Amid screams of terror, the people were gnawed down to bare white bones, without leaving even a drop of blood.
More than twenty bodies scattered throughout the corners of the stone house, and seven or eight skeletons crowded by the door were piled together.
Cheng Luo felt like she was shedding tears, but still heard the constant voice by her ear saying, "Go back, go back."
The black wind and sand gradually subsided, and she saw the dilapidated stone house, with a camel convoy approaching from afar.
Cheng Luo could never mistake the person in front; it was their guide Que Qiu.
She wanted to break free from everything and call out the guide’s name, but couldn’t move at all.
Que Qiu pointed at the Black Stone House and said, "Let’s get inside for shelter first! We still need to find water!"
Then Cheng Luo saw them enter the Black Stone House and started to reinforce the place.
While Tianmiao and several assistants along with the guide went to fetch water.
Then, she saw a patch of eerie green ghost fire—it was the eyes of the wolves hidden in the darkness.
A pack of wolves, so many wolves! All hidden near the water source.
An assistant fired a shot out of fear.
It turned out that it was not her illusion.
The guide and their group indeed encountered the wolves.
Then Cheng Luo saw a scene that terrified her: she saw the lead wolf lunging fiercely at Tianmiao.
But in the next moment, the unbelievable happened.
The lead wolf did not attack Tianmiao, but lay down in front of Tianmiao, seeking to be petted. Finally understanding Tianmiao’s words, it led the pack away, allowing the assistants to safely fetch water and return to the Black Stone House.
