Chapter 873: Journey to the Fantasy World of Sand and Sea: Lin Xiao's Journey to Survive in Desperate Situation
Lin Xiao stood alone in the endless desert with howling winds and flying sand. The sand and gravel lashed at her delicate skin like violent bullets, leaving stinging marks with every blow. She bit her cracked lips tightly, but her eyes were burning with a stubborn flame, as if she wanted to burn all the yellow sand.
"This damn place is a living hell!" Lin Xiao gasped and cursed at the top of his lungs, his voice sounding so small and firm in the strong wind.
At this moment, the mysterious voice sounded in her mind again, with a hint of teasing and threat: "Little girl, this is just the beginning. If you want to walk out of here alive, you are really dreaming!"
Lin Xiao suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open, and shouted to the sky: "Humph, stop talking nonsense, even if I die today, I will die on the road ahead!"
She trudged through the soft sand, taking one step deep and one step shallow. Every step seemed to exhaust all her strength. Her feet had long been burned by the hot sand and had lost all feeling. Her clothes had also become tattered in this harsh environment.
"Oh, I feel like a rag doll that has been drained of energy!" Lin Xiao complained to himself as he moved his feet with difficulty.
Suddenly, a huge bottomless sand pit appeared in front of him without any warning. Lin Xiao stumbled and almost fell into it.
"Oh my God!" She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and backed away desperately. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest as if trying to break free from its restraints.
Just then, her eyes were attracted by a tattered parchment scroll half-buried in the sand next to the sand pit.
"What is this? Could it be that God has pity on me and is showing me a way to survive?" Lin Xiao picked up the parchment scroll with trembling hands as he looked forward to it.
The moment she touched the parchment scroll, a strange and mysterious light suddenly flashed on it, and a line of clear words gradually emerged in the light: "Only by finding a water source can you survive."
Lin Xiao stared at the words with wide eyes, muttering to himself, "Is this... is this really my life-saving straw?"
She carefully put away the parchment scroll, took a deep breath, and continued to move forward towards the unknown. She kept encouraging herself: "No matter what, I, Lin Xiao, will never give up easily!"
As time went by, Lin Xiao felt that his throat was so dry that it was about to smoke, and every breath seemed to burn his internal organs. Unreal scenes began to appear in front of his eyes, including cool spring water, lush oasis, and warm and comfortable bed.
"No, I can't be fooled by these illusions. They are all fake, fake!" Lin Xiao shook his head vigorously, trying to keep himself awake.
Just when she was about to be completely swallowed up by despair, a faint green seemed to appear on the distant skyline.
"That... is that an oasis? Is it my hallucination again?" Lin Xiao rubbed his eyes that were red and swollen from the wind and sand, unable to believe what he saw.
She quickened her pace, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, and ran desperately towards the green. However, with every step forward, she could feel her strength draining away rapidly.
"Hold on, Lin Xiao, you can do it!" She kept cheering herself up in her heart.
When she finally got close to the green, she found that it was not a real oasis, but a dead forest that had been eroded by wind and sand, leaving only broken branches and leaves.
"How could this happen? Why is even the last hope going to be shattered!" Lin Xiao collapsed to the ground in despair, tears rolling down his cheeks and instantly absorbed by the dry sand.
Just when she was completely desperate, a small gerbil ran past her. Lin Xiao's eyes were attracted by the gerbil, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind.
"Maybe this gerbil can lead me to water?" Lin Xiao seemed to have grasped the last straw. He forced himself to stand up and followed the gerbil closely.
The gerbil nimbly shuttled between the sand dunes, and Lin Xiao desperately chased after it. After running for an unknown period of time, Lin Xiao saw a cave hidden behind the sand dunes.
"Will there be water in here?" Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, but finally plucked up the courage to walk into the cave.
There was a damp smell in the cave, and Lin Xiao's heartbeat accelerated instantly.
"Is there really water?" She walked forward cautiously and suddenly heard a faint sound of dripping water.
"There is water! There is really water!" Lin Xiao ran excitedly towards the direction of the sound.
Deep in the cave, she finally found a clear spring.
"Great, there's finally water!" Lin Xiao couldn't wait to rush to the spring and drink it in big gulps.
However, just as she was immersed in this moment of joy, a low roar suddenly came from outside the cave.
"What is this?" Lin Xiao's heart tightened and he stood up vigilantly.
She walked slowly towards the cave entrance, and when she saw the scene outside clearly, she couldn't help but gasp.
She saw a huge sand python coiled outside the cave, staring at her with its cold eyes.
"It's over, it's really over now!" Lin Xiao's face turned pale in an instant.
But she quickly calmed down, clenched the dagger in her hand, and prepared to fight a desperate battle with the sand python.
"Come on, you beast, today either you die or I live!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
The sand python seemed to be angered by her provocation and pounced towards her with its bloody mouth wide open.
Lin Xiao dodged the sand python's attack by moving sideways, and at the same time, the dagger in his hand stabbed fiercely into the sand python's body.
The sand python felt the pain and attacked even more frantically.
Lin Xiao had a thrilling life-and-death battle with the sand python in the cave.
"I'm going to kill you!" Lin Xiao dodged the sand python's attack while looking for its weakness.
Finally, she found the weak spot of the sand python.
"Now!" Lin Xiao seized the opportunity and used all his strength to stab the dagger into the sand python's vital point.
The sand python let out a shrill scream, collapsed to the ground, and twitched continuously.
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, slumped down on the ground, and gasped for breath.
"Finally got rid of this guy."
After some rest, Lin Xiao set out on the road again.
Along the way, she encountered various dangers and challenges, but she never gave up.
Finally, after experiencing countless hardships and obstacles, Lin Xiao walked out of the desert and welcomed new hope.
