One person: I was already fighting the Heavenly Master, but the system just came

Chapter 258 Desert
After a night of pursuit, every step Chu Tingting took was extremely heavy, but each step was faster than the last.

She had been walking mechanically for a whole night in this desolate and lost sand dune.

The whistling wind raged in her ears and sand kept pouring into her shoes and collar, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

Sweat mixed with dust formed a crust on her face.

The moonlight sprinkled on the sand dunes, casting her lonely and tired shadow.

But her eyes were always firmly looking forward, not missing any possible direction.

Finally, in the dim light of dawn, she saw the dawn of hope - it was a lush bamboo forest, which was particularly eye-catching at the end of the sand dunes.

In the morning light, the outline of the bamboo forest looks like a huge piece of emerald, exuding vitality and tranquility.

At that moment, an indescribable joy surged in Chu Tingting's heart. She quickened her pace and ran towards the bamboo forest.

After a difficult journey, Chu Tingting finally arrived at the bamboo forest.

She looked back and the sand dunes looked quiet and mysterious in the morning light, as if nothing had happened.

However, when she turned back to look for her companions, the scene before her made her freeze in place, and her blood seemed to freeze.

Where they had stopped before, there was only a shocking pool of blood on the ground, which looked particularly glaring in the early morning sun.

The blood has dried up and turned into a strange dark red color, like a wound on the earth.

Next to it was a pair of broken black-framed glasses, the lenses of which had cracked into several pieces, lying there alone. These were the pair that Ding Peng usually wore.

There were also some torn clothes, the strips of cloth fluttering slightly in the wind, as if telling of the terrible things that had happened here.

Chu Tingting covered her mouth with her hands.

This kind of bloody scene is not uncommon in the world of aliens...!
When things actually happen in front of your eyes, it is a completely different picture.

It was obvious that Ding Peng and Qin Jiaojiao had met with misfortune.

The image of a wolf involuntarily emerged in her mind. The marks on the ground looked like they were left after being brutally bitten and devoured by a wolf.

A strong sense of grief and self-blame surged in her heart. Why did she leave alone to find a way out?

If I hadn't left, or had left with them, would they have avoided such misfortune?

Judging from the remains on the ground, there doesn't seem to be anything belonging to Teacher Wang Zhiyao.

So what about Teacher Wang Zhiyao?
where is she?

Did she also meet with an accident? Or did she escape by luck?
Chu Tingting's heart was filled with worry and confusion, and she was eager to find the answer.

At this moment, a slight noise came from behind. Chu Tingting turned around suddenly and saw a wolf with a sturdy figure slowly walking towards her.

The wolf's eyes sparkled with a faint green light in the morning light, and its hair trembled gently in the breeze.

Chu Tingting's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and she was ready to escape or resist at any time.

However, what happened next left her stunned.

The wolf stopped a few steps away from her, and then its body began to undergo strange changes.

The wolf's limbs gradually shortened, its body slowly twisted and deformed, and its hair began to fade.

After a while, a little girl appeared in front of Chu Tingting.

Chu Tingting recognized that she was the little girl who controlled the wolf pack before.

The little girl's eyes are clear and lively, with a hint of childish innocence on her face.

She stood there quietly, looking at Chu Tingting, as if waiting for something.

Chu Tingting's heart was filled with confusion and anger. She stepped forward and questioned the little girl: "Why did you attack Ding Peng and Qin Jiaojiao? They are innocent!"

A trace of confusion flashed in the little girl's eyes. She shook her head and moved her mouth, but no sound came out.

It turns out that she can't speak.

She shook her head again, her eyes revealing innocence and grievance, indicating that she didn't do it.

Chu Tingting became even more confused. If it wasn't her, then who could it be?

Who could have done such a cruel thing to them in this deserted place?

What surprised Chu Tingting even more was that after absorbing spiritual energy, this group of wolves were able to transform into human form.

If we go to the city, I'm afraid... it will be difficult to tell.

At this moment, the little girl suddenly turned back into a werewolf. She circled around Chu Tingting for several times, sniffing her body, as if looking for something.

Chu Tingting looked at her, not knowing what she wanted to do.

Suddenly, the little girl stopped moving and her ears moved as if she heard some sound.

Then, she ran towards the depths of the sand dunes. After running a few steps, she looked back at Chu Tingting, as if signaling her to follow.

Chu Tingting hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to follow.

Her heart was full of questions. Perhaps this little girl could give her the answers. Perhaps in the depths of the Lost Dunes, she could find Teacher Wang Zhiyao and the truth of the matter.

Deep in the lost dunes, the sun was high in the sky, and the hot sand was flying wildly under the strong wind, making a sharp whistle, as if to wipe out all life in the world.

In this desperate place dominated by heat and desolation, a desert temple stands quietly, like a mysterious messenger from ancient times, exuding a thrilling ancient aura.

From a distance, this temple looks like a huge fortress rising from the sea of ​​sand.

Its walls are made of huge sandstones. Each piece of sandstone has been worn down by the years, and its surface is covered with densely packed pits of varying depths. These are traces of erosion by wind and sand for thousands of years. It is like a wordless book, silently telling the vicissitudes of life thousands of years ago.

At the four corners of the temple stand tall square towers, carved with strange symbols and mysterious patterns. Under the sunlight, these patterns seem to come alive, faintly flickering, as if conveying some unknown message.

At the entrance of the temple, two huge stone doors were half-open, and the doors were engraved with complex patterns, like a grand painting depicting an ancient war.

There was a mysterious light shining in the sky, as if a god was watching everything.

From time to time, sand and dust were blown in through the cracks in the stone door, making a rustling sound, as if this ancient temple was sighing softly.

The little girl who could control the wolf pack was now standing at the entrance of the temple. There was a strange light flashing in her eyes, as if she was being pulled by some mysterious force in the temple.

She just moved and jumped in without hesitation.

Seeing this, Chu Tingting was full of hesitation and uneasiness, but when she thought of what happened to Ding Peng and Qin Jiaojiao, and the whereabouts of teacher Wang Zhiyao, she gritted her teeth and jumped in.

As soon as she stepped into the temple, she was greeted by an old and somewhat mysterious smell, a unique smell that was formed when years of dust and unknown forces intertwined. Chu Tingting calmed down and looked around, only to find that the light here was dim, and the strange gems inlaid on the wall emitted a faint light, barely illuminating the space.

Inside the temple, huge stone pillars stand in rows, supporting this magnificent building.

The stone pillars are also carved with exquisite patterns, including divine birds soaring in the sky, their feathers clearly visible, as if they are flapping their wings as if about to fly.

There is also a giant snake coiling around, the scales on its body are lifelike, and its cold gaze seems to be able to see through people's hearts.

The ground is paved with flat stone slabs. The gaps between the slabs are so tight that it is almost impossible to insert a piece of thin paper, which shows the superb craftsmanship of the builders at that time.

However, on this seemingly solid ground, there are some irregular dark stains, dark in color, like long-dried blood, adding a somewhat eerie atmosphere to the temple.

But before she could react, the little girl had disappeared without a trace.

Chu Tingting was shocked. She knew very well that wolves were extremely fast, not to mention that this little girl could transform into a werewolf. Moreover, this desert temple seemed to contain rich spiritual energy. Maybe she absorbed the spiritual energy and her speed became even faster than she could imagine.

Chu Tingting bent down and tried to track the little girl by relying on the smell lingering in the air, but found nothing, not even a trace of familiar scent.

Helplessly, she could only take a deep breath and walk alone towards the depths of the desert temple.

"Desert Temple... Lost Dunes, has anyone been here before?"

Chu Tingting touched the ancient stone wall. Although it was not as old as the Egyptian pyramids, it also had some traces of time.

As she walked, Chu Tingting came to a huge empty hall.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge stone platform, and on the platform is a crystal ball emitting a faint green light.

There seems to be a light mist flowing on the surface of the crystal ball. Through the mist, some blurry images can be vaguely seen flashing, like distant pictures, or like future scenes that are about to happen.

On the walls around the hall are hung huge tapestries embroidered with various strange creatures and mysterious ritual scenes.

A group of people in black robes gathered around a blazing fire, chanting something.

A giant beast with many eyes slowly walked out of the darkness, devouring everything wherever it went.

Chu Tingting slowly approached the crystal ball. Her heartbeat involuntarily quickened and an inexplicable sense of nervousness surged in her heart.

When her hand was only a few centimeters away from the crystal ball, suddenly, the crystal ball emitted a strong light, enveloping her.

In this light, Chu Tingting saw some fragmentary images.

A man was in the middle of the altar when he was suddenly attacked...

The scene changed, and the man bled a lot again...

There was another man who was standing opposite this man, exuding a powerful and dangerous aura.

Suddenly, a white light seemed to shine out from the picture.

After the light disappeared, Chu Tingting felt dizzy. She shook her body a few times before she could barely stand still.

"Why... why do I feel such pain in my heart?" Chu Tingting subconsciously touched her heart with her hand.

She realized that there were too many secrets hidden in this desert temple, and these secrets might be closely related to her fate.

She decided to continue exploring deeper and find the truth no matter what was waiting for her ahead.

On one side of the hall, there is a narrow passage.

The walls of the passage were inlaid with gems emitting a faint blue light. The light of these gems flickered in the darkness, adding a mysterious and eerie atmosphere to the passage.

Chu Tingting walked forward along the corridor, and her footsteps echoed in the silent corridor, sounding particularly clear.

As she walked, she heard a slight rustling sound, as if something was moving slowly in the darkness.

Chu Tingting stopped and looked around.

Suddenly, a huge spider hung down from the ceiling. Its body was as big as a washbasin. Its eight eyes were flashing red light, and green mucus was flowing from its mouth, emitting a pungent stench.

Chu Tingting was startled and she instinctively repelled the spider.

The spider seemed to be angered by her actions. It opened its huge pincers and pounced towards Chu Tingting.

Chu Tingting dodged the spider's attack by moving sideways, then used Qi flame to burn the spider's head.

The Qi flame hit the spider hard, and the spider let out a sharp cry and fell to the ground.

But it did not die. Instead, it quickly crawled up and attacked Chu Tingting again.

Chu Tingting was too lazy to pay attention to him. She just pointed her finger and inserted the Qi Flame into the spider's eyes.

The spider struggled for a few times and finally fell to the ground, motionless.

After dealing with the spider, Chu Tingting continued to move forward along the passage.

At the end of the passage is a huge stone door.

There was a huge skull carved on the stone door, and the eyes of the skull were empty, but it seemed to be able to see through everything. Chu Tingting took a deep breath and pushed the stone door open.

The stone door slowly opened, and a strong stench of decay filled the air.

Chu Tingting covered her mouth and nose and walked in. Inside the door was a huge tomb chamber with a huge sarcophagus in the center.

The surface of the sarcophagus is carved with exquisite patterns, including dancing fairies, mighty warriors, and various rare and exotic animals.

However, beneath this exquisite pattern, there is a creepy atmosphere hidden.

Chu Tingting slowly approached the sarcophagus.

When she came to the sarcophagus, it suddenly shook violently, and then the lid slowly opened. A black smoke poured out of the sarcophagus, and a figure slowly emerged from the smoke.

The figure was dressed in a black robe, his face was pale, and there was a red light flashing in his eyes.

"What did I just see? You made me see it, right? What does that have to do with me? Why does my heart hurt?"

"The deaths of Ding Peng and Qin Jiaojiao are also related to you, right? What about Teacher Wang Zhiyao? What about those missing classmates? Is all this your conspiracy?" Chu Tingting was the first to ask.

The man looked at Chu Tingting and laughed sinisterly: "You are finally here, little girl. You are right, you are as sharp as your grandfather."

"However, you actually have the courage to go deep into the Desert Temple. Do you think you can uncover the secrets of this temple? You are too naive."

"Everything here will be shrouded in darkness forever, no matter the truth or you!"

Chu Tingting looked at him fearlessly and said, "I will definitely find out the truth, and you can't stop me. As for me, that depends on whether you have the ability or not!"
