Chapter 998 Wind Child - Lan Heads
Suddenly, just as the ice sword and the sand dune's thick tail were about to cancel each other out once again, as had happened countless times before, an unexpected event occurred.
Suddenly, the moon corona felt a sharp pain throughout its body, and its rapidly moving form abruptly stopped.
This allowed the narrow, thick tail of the sand dune to break through the ice sword's obstruction, and with a sweeping tail, it flung the moon crown away heavily.
Only then did Luna realize the source of the unease in her heart.
The layers of sand barriers that he had previously avoided did not dissipate; instead, they formed an even larger sandstorm that enveloped the narrow passage between the lunar corona and the dunes.
The swirling sand around him did not affect the narrowness of the dunes, but it would gradually and quietly adhere to the moon corona, slowing his movements.
At the same time, some sand quietly seeped into his body. Just now, the hidden dangers brought by the sand inside his body were ignited by the narrow side of the sand dunes, plunging the Moon Crown into crisis.
"The sand kept sticking to my body and body, and my movements began to become sluggish. If this continued, I would surely die."
Luna realized then that it was too late, but under the pressure of death, he had no choice but to try to break through.
"Snow Soul Barrier!"
The icy blue full moon behind the Moon Crown suddenly flashed with light, and a powerful icy energy spread out.
The world suddenly changed, snow fell, transforming the world into a world of ice and snow. The moon's aura rose steadily within it, and its descent speed increased instead of decreasing.
The spread of ice and snow and the ravages of sandstorms countered each other, creating a favorable space for the lunar corona to retaliate.
"Big Dipper Moon Devouring Slash!"
Standing amidst the ice and snow, Yuemian held aloft her crescent-shaped ice swords, the ice crystals floating around her shimmering and reflecting the shape of the Big Dipper.
As the Big Dipper twinkled, the crescent moon suspended overhead suddenly burst into light. Amidst the combined brilliance of the stars and the moon, the Moonlight Sword in Yuemiao's hand was suddenly enveloped in a cold light.
With a sweeping sword strike, a chilling sword aura suddenly rose from the ground, heading straight for the narrow sand dune.
With the blessing of the "Snow Soul Barrier", the Moon Crown burst out with astonishing speed. When the slash came, Sand Dune Narrow had no time to react and could only take the blow squarely.
However, the imagined carnage did not happen. Instead, there was a metallic scraping sound, and the thing that flew backward was the lunar corona.
Looking at the narrowness of the sand dune where he was hit, although he was also knocked away at the same time, he managed to regain his footing in time thanks to his thick tail that was embedded in the ground.
The only visible injury on his body was the useless wing-like structure on his head; otherwise, he was unharmed.
This is precisely the effect of the "narrowness" characteristic unique to Sand Dunes:
At the start of the round, if your HP is higher than your opponent's, you gain +1 to both Defense and Special Defense. If your HP is lower than your opponent's at the start of the round, you receive 50% less damage from attacks during that round.
At the end of each round, the opponent gains 200 health points, and then gains 50 health points each round thereafter, up to a maximum of 400 health points.
The previous appearance of being evenly matched was actually a deliberate act by the narrowness of the sand dunes, designed to buy time and allow him to build up his defenses to an indestructible level.
Moreover, the narrowness of the sand dunes will definitely not be a loss during this process, because the latter half of the exclusive trait's effect has already been quietly eroding Luna's stamina.
"I never expected that I, Luna Corona, would not be defeated by the Star Guardian, but instead fall to you, the Temple Guardian."
Luna said self-deprecatingly.
"Intruder, die!"
The narrow sand dune emitted a mechanical sound, and the blue energy sphere in the center of the snake's head exerted its power again, stirring up gusts of evil wind.
"Sunset sandstorm!"
The sound was like the whisper of a demon. The next moment, as the fierce wind stopped, a cloud of dust fell from the sky, burying the moon corona like a funeral procession.
The moon corona fought desperately but was ultimately no match for the sandstorm and collapsed on the upper layer of the sky.
Fortunately, he was lucky. Just as Sand Dune was about to strike again to finish off Luna Corona, a layer of ice crystals suddenly appeared on Sand Dune's body, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The reason for all this is the unique characteristic of the lunar corona: "Corona".
There is a 50% chance that using your skills will freeze your opponent.
Although Luna's attack failed to defeat Sand Dune's Narrow Pass, it successfully triggered a 50% chance of freezing, which is why Luna managed to save her life.
The moon corona fell into the dust, and the narrow sand dune was frozen on the earth; both fell into a coma.
After a long while, a blue figure emerged from the sandstorm first.
"What happened after I was swallowed by quicksand? It seems I was really lucky."
The doubts that had been nagging at Luna were dispelled when he saw the narrow sand dunes still frozen in the air. He immediately continued forward, searching for the location of the Temple of Rost.
However, after several days, he still couldn't find any clues and had to return home empty-handed.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wind Child Lan seems to be preparing to come and find the Temple of Rost.
"Everything is ready!"
"Many unknown secrets are hidden in the Summer Desert, so please be careful."
"I'll accompany Lan."
Kirina noticed the worry of Sky's Hope Isis and quickly stepped forward to speak.
“No, you should stay in the city. Your injuries are clearly not fully healed yet, and this trip will also be a test for me.”
Wind Child Lan shook his head, then said with a firm gaze.
"Lady Isis!"
"Since Lan has said so, let's do as he says."
Sky's Hope, Isis, finally agreed to Wind Child, Lan's idea of going alone.
“Then I’ll head to the winter tundra now; that should be the best route.”
"No, no, no! No way!"
The group began discussing their route forward, but as soon as Wind Child Lan offered his opinion, it was met with opposition from Chimina.
"Ah, what's wrong?"
Everyone else turned to look at Chiminai.
"I didn't mean to offend you, I just felt..."
"It's alright, tell me what you think."
"Actually, I think we should enter the desert from the autumn fields."
"That's why, perceptually speaking, the location of the Temple of Rost should be closer to the permafrost."
Wind Child Lan was somewhat puzzled.
“I’m not entirely sure either, but many people have tried to advance through the frozen ground at the time of the Awakening of Insects in winter, but they’ve all failed, haven’t they? We can try the opposite approach.”
"It does make sense."
"But there is no conclusive evidence either."
"Why not listen to Chimina's idea? I think it's worth a try. Xiangyang Village should also be under reconstruction. Lan, let's go and check on the situation there on the way."
"Ok."
With his mother's permission, Wind Child Lan once again embarked on his trial journey, and after many arduous journeys, he was the first to arrive at Xiangyang Village.
Xiangyang Village is a place full of energy and vitality.
Even in the corners of the village, the scars of war can still be seen. But amidst the villagers' laughter and conversation, one rarely senses the pain and despair brought by the war.
