Chapter 1004: The Wild Sandstorm!

The night was bright, the beautiful outline of the desert was clearly visible, they could even see a few sand foxes moving around and disappearing within the blink of an eye.

The group of five took turns guarding at night. Mo Fan sat outside the tents and started meditating. With so many Stars to work on, if he did not practice diligently, he would not be able to cast the spells of his different Elements adeptly. Mo Fan was very hard-working when it came to his cultivation!

Mo Fan was practicing the Nyx Regime. The Shadow Element was incredibly useful in battles, and Mo Fan had grown quite fond of the Shadow Element recently too…

As Mo Fan was about to focus, he immediately heard a loud rumble, like a group of trucks approaching from the distance.

Mo Fan opened his eyes and looked into the distance. He immediately saw a cloud of sand connecting the ground and the sky.

The cloudy sand spread across the horizon. It felt like rows of soldiers on galloping horses. The rumble gradually grew louder too.

“A sandstorm?”

“A sandstorm this big!?”

Mo Fan was shocked. He did not think much of it, until he saw the sandstorm was covering the entire horizon, and was approaching like a tsunami big enough to devour a whole city.

“Are you serious, does this place have a sandstorm every day?” Mo Fan cursed.

The sandstorm was clearly massive and destructive. Mo Fan immediately woke the others.

“I remember the team that went missing was forced to hide in the maze after encountering a sandstorm. What do we do now? Do we need to find shelter” Jiang Yu asked.

“Hold your ground, we must stay where we are, if we try hiding from the sandstorm, we’ll end up just like the missing team!” Jiang Shaoxu said.

They could not afford to leave their location. The maze was simply too terrifying. The only way to guarantee their safety was to hold their position at a tagged location unyieldingly. The more they moved around, the easier it was for them to get lost, making it difficult for them to be rescued!

Nanyu was still outside of the maze. She must have left because she had encountered a tricky situation, but she would never abandon the team. If she could return to her spot and send a signal to the group, they would be able to leave the maze.

As such, leaving was not an option. They had to hold their ground no matter how strong the sandstorm was!

“I can still defend us from a sandstorm of this level!” Zhao Manyan patted his chest confidently.

“That’s good to hear! Anyway, we can’t leave this place, or else we’ll be in great trouble,” Mo Fan nodded.

—

The sandstorm gradually got closer, but surprisingly, the sand was not as unendurable as they thought. The sand that was thrown into the sky was actually more threatening.

A sandstorm was formed when a powerful wind was blowing lots of sand into the sky. However, when the sand started falling from the sky after losing the support of the wind, it would start pouring down like a giant waterfall!

Water was soft and light, but sand was several times heavier than water. When sand was pouring down like a waterfall, it would either kill a person directly, or bury them alive after breaking every bone in them!

“My Ice Element isn’t ideal in this environment.” Mu Ningxue wanted to help with the defense, but in this dry, scorching desert, the Ice and Water Elements were affected to a certain degree.

“I should be able to handle it myself!” Zhao Manyan said.

Even if Zhao Manyan’s Water Element was not as effective, he still had the sturdy Light and Earth Elements, both known for their outstanding defensive abilities!

“A sand tornado is approaching us from our nine, we have to stop it!” Jiang Shaoxu said.

Mo Fan looked to their nine and saw a powerful, yellow dragon approaching them amid the cloudy sandstorm. It was as strong as an Advanced Spell!

“I’ll do it!” Mu Ningxue said.

The tornado mainly consisted of the Wind Element. Mu Ningxue immediately unleashed her will to control the presence of Wind Magic nearby.

Soon, a tornado with a similar size appeared in front of Mu Ningxue and headed for the sand tornado. The two tornadoes collided and immediately shattered into powerful gusts sweeping in all directions.

“Sandfall! Sandfall!” someone yelled amid the sandstorm.

Zhao Manyan raised his head and saw a huge chunk of sand pouring down at them like the giant splash of a waterfall.

If they were allowed to move from their spot, they could easily withdraw temporarily to hide from the sandfall. However, if they moved now, they would most likely get lost in the desert. Zhao Manyan clenched his teeth and cast a Rock Barrier to protect the group beneath it.

The Rock Barrier was not as sturdy as everyone had imagined. It was soon destroyed by the terrifying sandfall. Zhao Manyan quickly established a barrier of Plummeting Rays around the group.

The sand landed heavily on the golden light barrier, producing loud screeches.

The force of the sand was utterly shocking. Even when the group was hiding within the barrier, they could feel the whole place sinking.

The sand started falling along the arc-shaped barrier, but soon started to stack up around it.

Mo Fan raised his head and watched the sand surrounding the group. It was simply too thick for them to see outside…

“Aren’t we pretty much buried alive?” Jiang Yu said worriedly.

“Once the light barrier reaches its limit, we’ll actually be buried alive. The Sahara Desert is indeed the most dangerous place in the world. This environment alone isn’t something that normal people could handle, let alone the demon creatures residing here!” Zhao Manyan said.

“What do we do now?” Jiang Shaoxu asked.

“I think we’re trapped.”

“As long as we didn’t move from our spot.”

They had no idea how long the sandstorm was going to last. The only relief was that the sand stacking on top of the barrier actually served as an extra layer of defense, protecting the group beneath it.

The group was having trouble finding peace of mind when they were stuck in such a confined space while hearing the unending rumbles from the outside.

“Jiang Yu, can you help me take something out from my bag, the pocket at the very bottom,” Mo Fan said when everyone else was feeling hopeless.

“Oh, ok, sure!” Jiang Yu found Mo Fan’s bag and took out a little box wrapped inside a paper bag.

Jiang Yu handed Mo Fan the box. Mu Ningxue, Jiang Shaoxu, and Jiang Yu all glanced at the extremely calm Mo Fan. They were eager to know what brilliant plan he had in mind.

Mo Fan tore the paper wrapping around the box, revealing a very common pattern on the box that everyone was extremely familiar with.

“Come, luckily I was smart enough to bring two packs of playing cards along. Otherwise, we’re simply going to die of boredom here. We have five of us here, that’s enough for us to play Golden Flower!” Mo Fan quickly shuffled the cards and started dealing them into five hands.
