Bulwark of Light

Chapter 45 The Sands of Time

Desert.

The endless desert.

Snow-white sand fluttered in the air, a heat wave swept through, and the distant space was distorted.

Gu Shen opened his eyes, his first reaction was to look down at his body composition, and when he saw a complete torso…put out a breath with relief.

Whew…it wasn’t chopped up this time.

Unlike the last dice dream, the sand of time dream is very vast, and you can’t see the edge at a glance. The rolling sand dunes are everything that constitutes this dream.

“Chu Ling—”

Gu Shen opened his mouth.

Next moment, the space distortion around me, and countless garbled codes appear, forcibly opening up a pure oasis in the “Sand of Time” dream.

A barefoot girl in a white dress appeared out of thin air and slowly landed on the hot sand surface.

Gu Shen looked at the girl and thought for a while.

He said seriously: “I’m sorry.”

Chu Ling was surprised and asked with a smile, “Why do you want to apologize?”

“I want to take it back. Those words I said in Jingzhe Dreamland… If I had a choice, who would want to be the tail of a crane?”

Gu Shen said slowly: “Nan Jin said something to me when he was in the ward. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight. At the time, I just wrote it down, but I didn’t listen to it.”

“At first, I just wanted to escape.” He took a deep breath, “but Now, I’m ready!”

“Besides, judging from the dream interpretation… I’m not as bad as I thought.”

The girl laughed and shook the head.

“It’s not so bad?” Chu Ling said softly: “The auditors outside said you are a genius out of ten thousand.”

Gu Shen spoke about himself From the bottom of my heart, the last stone finally fell to the ground.

“Okay, let’s not be pretentious.”

He squatted down, extended the hand, and twitched the sand, saying, “I promise Senior Sister Luo will take it down. The ‘S’ grade for this review, I did what I said. Since I have broken the record…then I might as well spare no effort and let them see my true strength.”

Sand’s white, Consistent with the texture observed in the seal.

“What is the fastest record for the Sands of Time?” Gu Shen asked.

“The fastest record recorded in the deep sea system is 2 hours and 18 minutes.” Chu Ling folded his arms and asked with a smile, “Need help? If spare no effort, I can let you Clear the level within ten minutes.”

“Ten minutes is too outrageous…” Gu Shen shook his head with a wry smile, and said, “Although it is a speed pass, if you score ‘ten minutes’, you should be able to Let’s be dragged directly to the slice study.”

“All right. Now is the final review.” Chu Ling lazily said: “Those who can cheat in the front of one’s eyes of the five grand reviewers , besides you, the second person hasn’t been born yet. If you really hit this score, you should be marked as a national treasure-level important figure beyond ‘S’… As for slice research, when the time comes, they can’t even protect it. I’m reluctant to slice you.”

“It’s rare to encounter a sealed dream artifact at this level. In the last dream interpretation, I seemed to feel some inspiration. At this time, I still want to use my own strength to interpret the dream.” Gu Shen thought for a while, and said, “But the biggest problem is the consumption of spirit strength…”

After unlocking the dice, he was already a little tired.

“You just need to interpret your dreams, you don’t have to worry about the rest, everything is up to me.”

After Chu Ling said this, she stopped talking.

She was the quiet audience again, the world in front of her was howling with gusty winds, and there were thousands of grains of dust and sand, but Gu Shen was the only person in her eyes.

……

……

So far, Gu Shen is standing in the sand of time dream, not rushing forward.

He recalled what the justice had said.

The judge said that the three Dream Sealed Artifacts on the table had very intense characteristics… I had already seen the characteristics of the blue dice, and when they came up, they cut the whole person into eight pieces.

And this seemingly peaceful dune world gave Gu Shen a murderous intention to lurk under the dark tide.

It’s huge, so you can’t get a close-up view of it like bronze.

“Do you have to move?” Gu Shen took a tentative step forward.

One step only.

He realized something was wrong.

The quicksand wraps his calf and sinks down… In the dream of “The Sands of Time”, the entire world is made up of soft sand grains. risk of engulfment.

“Sure enough… this dream is very dangerous.”

Seeing the quicksand swallowing him, Gu Shen felt a little more at ease.

What he is afraid of is the unknown dangers caused by the unexplored rules of dreams!

“As long as you wrap it with spirit strength, you can stop the quicksand for a short time… So each step forward is a consumption of spirit strength.” He gradually understood the rules of this dream sealed artifact, and he fell into a dream. You may be able to find the tricks quickly, but to complete the dream interpretation, you need a solid foundation of spirit strength. The Sand of Time Dreamland in front of you is the best example.

Gu Shen speculates that there may be an exit that points in the right direction.

Even if you are on the right path, you still need to have enough spirit strength to get to the finish line.

“Zi La…”

Gu Shen felt that he was sinking. Just as he was about to use spirit strength, the speed of the quicksand all around his calf was greatly slowed down… invisible The gibberish appeared in the quicksand.

It’s Chu Ling’s shot.

The speed at which the quicksand wrapped himself dropped several times in an instant, and Gu Shen easily pulled his legs out of the sand swamp.

He looked back at the girl who was smiling at him, and once again felt incredible… Chu Ling was able to modify the rules of the Sands of Time Dream… Was it done by using the deep sea? unimaginable technical means.

In this way, you can “unscrupulously” explore the sands of time dream.

Without needing to consider the consumption of spirit strength, Gu Shen immediately felt much more relaxed.

He observed the direction of the wind and decided to run in the direction the sand was floating… If “inversion” is a sign of activating the Sealed Artifact, then the direction of movement of the sand may be the breakthrough.

In ten minutes.

Gu Shen returned to his place.

Chu Ling smiled silently and looked at him quietly.

“How about changing direction and trying again?” In the vastness of the Sands of Time dream… Gu Shen made a second attempt.

Ten minutes later, he was back in place again.

This seemingly “boundless” world actually has an invisible wall of air. The result of these two attempts was to return to the original place. Whenever Gu Shen traveled a certain distance, he would be surrounded by front, back, left and right.

Wrapped in sand and dust, whether it’s following the sandstorm or resisting, the outcome is the same… He returned to his original place.

And Chu Ling didn’t move a single step from beginning to end.

Clearly, she knew the qualities of the “Sands of Time”.

“If it was just me…then it would take a long time to find out that this world is ‘circular’.” Gu Shen realized a very serious problem, “If there is no Chu Ling, I may think that Going in the right direction, and keep going… In fact, I just keep repeating the useless work of returning to the place.”

He counted the numbers silently in the heart.

Every time I return to the same place, it is about six hundred seconds and ten minutes.

Does this mean that… the limit of this world is the length of 600 seconds of running with all my strength?

“wait a minute”

Gu Shen thought of another probability.

He squatted down and started digging the sand pit. The quicksand in the dream was already turbulent, and the flow rate was faster after digging the pit. After seeing Gu Shen’s behavior, Chu Ling’s eyes flickered slightly.

No garbled characters appear this time, preventing quicksand from slowing down the collapse.

Gu Shen dug a sand pit. He jumped into the pit and began to wait for the quicksand to engulf him little by little. At the same time, he silently counted down the time in the heart. Immediately followed by the thigh, the lower body lost consciousness, as if being bitten by two thick walls, Gu Shen closed his eyes.

“600…599…”

“120…119…”

With the last two minutes left, the quicksand didn’t cross my neck , Gu Shen felt that his heart was grasped by a strong hand.

It’s stressful.

Just then, the garbled characters appeared!

A series of vague symbols appear out of thin air, wrapping Gu Shen’s neck in a circle, the erosion of quicksand is greatly reduced, making Gu Shen not suffocated, and it looks like a person wearing a breathing mask. Divers, although embarrassed, are safe.

He closed his eyes.

In the quicksand.

This world is dark…and darker…

“10…9…8…”

The last few seconds.

The suffocation and restraint are all gone.

Gu Shen opened his eyes, he raised his hands very easily, and was not stopped by the slightest quicksand…because he was simply not buried under the sand, but stood on a small dune, The bunker that had been dug up earlier was gone.

This world is filled up by wind and sand, and it is endless and desperate.

“Ten minutes…”

Gu Shen looked at Chu Ling, muttered: “I know the characteristics of the sands of time dream.”
