Barrier of Light

Chapter 45 Sands of Time



desert.

The endless desert.

Snow-white sand floated in the air, a heat wave swept over, and the space in the distance was distorted.

Gu Shen opened his eyes, his first reaction was to lower his head to check his body composition, and he saw that it was still a complete torso... He let out a breath of relief.

Phew...he wasn't chopped into pieces this time.

Unlike the previous dice dream, the sands of time dream is so vast that you can't see the edge at a glance, and the rolling sand dunes are everything that makes up this dream.

"Chu Ling—"

Gu Shen spoke.

The next moment, the space around him distorted, and countless garbled characters emerged, forcibly opening up an oasis in the "Sands of Time" dreamland.

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

Gu Shen squatted down, stretched out his fingers, and twisted the sand.

The white color of the sand is consistent with the texture observed in the sealed item.

"What's 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 replied.

2 hours and 18 minutes?

Gu Shen's expression became solemn, and from the moment he stepped into the dreamland, his energy was extremely focused.

"It's rare to encounter a dream sealed item of this level. In the last dream interpretation, I seemed to feel some inspiration. It's just that I haven't awakened my extraordinary ability, and my mental power is also very weak."

Gu Shen thought for a while, and said: "In this kind of difficult nightmare, the biggest problem is the consumption of mental power..."

After untying the green dice, his spirit was a little tired.

"You just need to interpret your dreams, don't worry about the rest, everything is up to me."

After Chu Ling finished speaking, he stopped talking.

She became that quiet audience again, the world in front of her was howling with strong winds, filled with thousands of grains of dust, and she only had Gu Shen in her eyes.

...

...

So far, Gu Shen has stood in the dreamland of the Sands of Time and has not rushed forward.

He thought back to what the justice had said.

The judge said that the three dream sealed items on the table had very intense characteristics...the characteristics of Qing Dice had already been seen before, and when they came up, they would tear the whole person into pieces.

And this seemingly peaceful sand dune world gave Gu Shen a danger of murderous intent lurking under the dark tide.

It's very big here, so it's impossible to observe it closely like Qing Dice.

"Do I have to move?" Gu Shen tentatively took a step forward.

only one step.

He realized something was wrong.

The quicksand wrapped her calves and sank downward... In the dream of "Sands of Time", the whole world is made up of soft sand grains, and every step she takes, she faces the risk of being swallowed by the quicksand.

"Sure enough... this dream is very dangerous."

Seeing the quicksand swallowing him, Gu Shen felt a little relieved.

What he is afraid of is the unknown danger caused by the unexplored dream rules!

"As long as you wrap it with spiritual power, you can stop the quicksand for a short time...so every step forward consumes mental power." He gradually understood the rules of this dream sealed item, and the dreamer may soon discover the trick , but if you want to complete dream interpretation, you need a solid spiritual foundation. The sands of time dream in front of you is the best example.

Gu Shen speculated that there might be an exit pointing in the right direction.

Even if you are on the right path, you need to have enough mental support to reach the end.

"Zi la..."

Gu Shen felt that he was sinking. Just as he was about to use his mental power, the speed of the quicksand around his calf slowed down greatly... Invisible garbled characters appeared in the quicksand.

It was Chu Ling who made the move.

The speed at which the quicksand wrapped himself dropped several times in an instant, and Gu Shen easily pulled his leg out of the 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...Did he use the deep sea to do it? Incredible technical means.

In this way, I can "unscrupulously" explore the sands of time dream.

Gu Shen felt a lot more relaxed immediately without having to think about mental energy consumption.

He observed the direction of the wind and decided to run in the direction of the sand grains... If "upside down" is a sign of launching a sealed item, then the movement direction of the sand grains may be a breakthrough.

ten minutes later.

Gu Shen returned to the original place.

Chu Ling smiled and looked at him quietly.

"How about changing direction and trying again?" In the vast dreamland of the Sands of Time... Gu Shen made a second attempt.

Ten minutes later, he was back on the spot again.

This seemingly "boundless" world actually has an invisible wall of air. The results of these two attempts were to return to the original place. Whenever Gu Shen trekked a certain distance, he would be covered by dust, whether it was Going forward with the sand wind, or resisting against it, the ending is the same... He returned to the original place.

And Chu Ling didn't move a step from the beginning to the end.

Apparently, she knows the qualities of the "Sands of Time".

"If I'm the only one... then it will take a long time to discover that the world is 'circular'." Gu Shen realized a very serious problem, "If there is no Chu Ling, I might think that I am going in the right direction, And keep moving forward... In fact, I just keep repeating the useless work of returning to the original place."

He counted the numbers silently in his heart.

Every time I return to the original place, it takes about six hundred seconds, ten minutes.

Does this mean... the boundary of this world is the length of six hundred seconds of running with all your strength?

"etc……"

Gu Shen thought of another possibility.

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

This time no garbled characters appeared, preventing quicksand from slowing down the collapse.

Gu Shen dug a sand pit, jumped into the pit, and began to wait for the quicksand to engulf him bit by bit. At the same time, he silently counted down the time in his heart. The wind and sand swept through, first his calves were engulfed, followed by his thighs, and his lower body was lost. Gu Shen lost consciousness, as if being bitten tightly by two thick walls, Gu Shen closed his eyes.

"600...599..."

"120...119..."

With the last two minutes left, quicksand covered his neck, and Gu Shen felt his heart was being held by a strong hand.

A lot of pressure.

Just then, garbled characters appeared!

A series of fuzzy symbols appeared out of thin air, surrounding Gu Shen's neck, and the erosion of quicksand was greatly reduced, so that Gu Shen would not suffocate. He looked like a diver wearing a breathing mask. Although he was embarrassed, he was safe.

He closed his eyes.

Caught in quicksand.

The world is dark...and darker...

"10...9...8..."

the last few seconds.

The feeling of suffocation and restraint is all gone.

Gu Shen opened his eyes, he raised his hands very easily, and was not stopped by the quicksand... because he was not buried under the sand at all, but standing on a small sand dune, the sand pit dug earlier Gone.

The world was filled with wind and sand, endless and desperate.

"ten minutes……"

Gu Shen looked at Chu Ling and murmured, "I know the characteristics of the Sands of Time dream."
