Lin Sanjiu's eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes at the moment of the teleportation.
The fog immediately entered her field of vision.
Layers of thick, white fog slowly spread before her eyes. It was as if there were millions of layers. The deeper she looked, the thicker the fog became. If she looked at it for a while longer, she would get lost in the white fog.
The coarse gravel under his feet pressed against his skin, giving him a distinct sensation.
She had teleported while standing, but now she found herself lying on the ground. Lin Sanjiu muttered to herself and immediately sat up. She looked around and saw Ji Shanqing lying beside her. His face was buried in his long hair, and he seemed to be unconscious. Lin Sanjiu felt a little relieved.
Lin Sanjiu nudged Ji Shanqing a few times soundlessly. Then, she raised her head and scanned her surroundings.
When she was lying on the ground, it looked like the white fog had covered the entire sky. However, when she stood up, she realized that the fog was actually hanging heavily above her head. She had no idea how the fog formed. When she looked up from the ground, when she was about three to four meters in the air, it suddenly became so thick that she couldn't see the sky or the sun.
The ground beneath her feet was a mixture of sand and gravel. When she stepped on it, her boots made a rustling sound. It looked like she was standing in a boundless construction site. As she looked around, the scenery in the distance turned into a blurry mass. She didn't know how far this sandy land extended.
When Ji Shanqing opened his eyes, he quickly and silently got up from the ground. Without saying a word, he stood beside Lin Sanjiu and scanned their surroundings vigilantly. Both of them were on guard for a while, but they didn't find anything out of the ordinary. They looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Sis, which way should we go?" Ji Shanqing asked softly as he grabbed his long hair and tied the loose ponytail back into place.
No matter which direction they looked in, they could only see a yellow land covered with thick white fog. They couldn't see anything.
"Let's just find a random direction," Lin Sanjiu was even more confused than her grand prize. She lifted one of her boots and hesitated for a few seconds. Finally, she landed it on her left, "As long as there's no one around."
The moment her foot landed, a startled voice rang out from her left, "Who's there?"
Ji Shanqing glanced at Lin Sanjiu.
"I'm used to my luck," Lin Sanjiu turned around and explained to him calmly. Then, she shouted at the empty sandy ground in front of them, "Who's there?"
At this moment, the white fog seemed to be wrapped in a layer of plastic film, blocking the sky above them. Even though the sky was dim, Lin Sanjiu could still see the ground under the white fog.
The moment Lin Sanjiu's voice faded away, a humanoid figure rolled out from the yellow sand. The humanoid figure jumped up and brushed off the sand on his body, revealing skin, hair, and clothes that were the same color as the sand. It looked as if the humanoid figure was molded from sand. It was almost impossible to distinguish him from the background.
"It must be an item like a chameleon," Ji Shanqing whispered into Lin Sanjiu's ear.
"Just stand there! Don't come any closer!" the yellow humanoid shouted at Lin Sanjiu. Lin Sanjiu could tell that the humanoid figure was a man, but she couldn't see his facial features, "Are you a posthuman?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't step forward. Instead, she took a few steps back cautiously. She thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes. You too?"
"Yes, I just arrived in this world," the man seemed to be relieved. He replied from a distance, "I've been observing this place for a while, but there's no one around. I can't tell what's going on with this world. How long have you been here? Do you know what destroyed this world? "
"We just arrived here too," Lin Sanjiu replied. Then, she replied hesitantly, "... We don't know anything yet."
Hearing that, the yellow humanoid opened his mouth. Amidst the yellow sand, a pink hue could be seen, "Oh."
After a brief moment of disappointment, both of them fell into an awkward silence.
After staring at each other for a while, the yellow humanoid couldn't help but speak.
"You two can leave now." He waved his hand at Lin Sanjiu and Ji Shanqing as if he was chasing away two dogs, "Let's go. Why are you standing here and looking at me?"
Lin Sanjiu glared at him, but she didn't move. If this fellow didn't speak, he would blend in with the world. She didn't know what his attitude was, so she didn't dare to turn around and leave.
"You go," Ji Shanqing replied, "We need to observe the situation here."
The yellow mud man smacked his lips in dissatisfaction and made a "tsk" sound. He looked left and right. Perhaps because he had a Special Item on him, he finally snorted and said, "Forget it. I'll leave if I want to. You two, take a few steps back. Don't follow me. "
"Who wants to follow you?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help retorting. However, her rebuttal did not reassure the man. The yellow mud man was very careful. He kept facing the two of them and retreated quickly. When he was so far away that he almost melted into the sand, he turned around and disappeared into the distance.
"Sis, let's follow him!" The moment the figure disappeared, the grand prize called out to Lin Sanjiu excitedly. He grabbed Lin Sanjiu's arm and tried to drag her forward.
"What are you doing?" Lin Sanjiu frowned unwillingly.
"Sis, think about it. If we follow him, doesn't it mean that someone is scouting ahead for us?" After the grand prize said that, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up, "Hurry up! If we delay any longer, we will lose him!"
"That's not a bad idea." Lin Sanjiu picked him up by the waist and threw him on her shoulder. Then, she ran in the direction where the yellow mud man disappeared.
Although that guy's speed wasn't too fast, that item was really deadly. With Lin Sanjiu's speed, she should be able to catch up to him easily. However, after running for a few minutes, all she could see was a plain of yellow sand. She had no idea what method the man had used, but he had completely hidden himself from her sight.
"I lost him," the grand prize leaned on her shoulder and mumbled, "You lost him, right? I told you to hurry up! "
Lin Sanjiu flicked his forehead. "Ah!" Then, she said in a soft voice, a little puzzled, "It doesn't matter if you lost him. Now that you mention it, this place is really big — Huh? "
"What's wrong?" The grand prize followed her gaze and looked up. His eyes immediately lit up.
As far as they could see, the horizon formed a gentle slope. Suddenly, a tiny, almost indistinguishable humanoid figure stood on the sandy land. The figure crouched all the way until he reached the slope before straightening up. Lin Sanjiu immediately caught sight of him as he stood up.
"So, I'm ahead of him," Lin Sanjiu said, not knowing whether she should laugh or cry. Seeing that the humanoid figure had turned around and was running in another direction, Lin Sanjiu crouched down and smirked, "Hold on tight, I'm going to —"
Before she could finish her sentence, the white mist above the slope suddenly parted, and a flesh-red shadow appeared. Before Lin Sanjiu could figure out what it was, she felt the ground beneath her feet tremble violently. Lin Sanjiu was flung a few steps away.
Just when she thought it was another dimensional rift, the ground stopped trembling in the blink of an eye and disappeared as abruptly as when it came. Lin Sanjiu quickly got up from the ground, but she was stunned the moment she straightened her back.
There was a huge flesh-red pillar on the slope in the distance. It occupied her vision for a moment, as if Pangu was holding up the heaven and earth. Even though she was so far away, Lin Sanjiu still couldn't tell how long it was and how tall it was.
The top part of the meat pillar was hidden in the white fog, and the bottom part was stuck in the yellow sand. The exposed part in the middle was now splattered with large amounts of blood, which was slowly flowing downwards. The yellow mud man was suddenly crushed by the meat pillar, and the blood spurted far away. In between the monotonous yellow and white, there was a startling blood red.
"What … What is this …" Ji Shanqing crawled up from behind Lin Sanjiu and stammered, "What … What is this?"
Lin Sanjiu took a few steps back and stood in front of him. She stared at the direction of the meat pillar, and for a moment, she was speechless.
All of a sudden, the huge meat pillar shrunk into the sky without making any sound. While both of them stared at it and retreated, Lin Sanjiu saw it.
She saw that at the end of the fleshy column was a hard pink, translucent nail the size of a lake. She was very familiar with this kind of nail, because she saw it on her fingertips countless times every day, except for the dirty yellowish white border.
It was a fingernail.
"Is this … is this a finger?" The grand prize was so shocked that he forgot to retreat.
Lin Sanjiu immediately pulled him along. Both of them turned around and ran for their lives. Just as they were running for their lives, the finger finally rose into the white fog in the sky. Before they could catch their breath, the finger suddenly landed on the sandy ground not far away from them.
Accompanied by a loud rumble, the two of them were once again thrown far away by the trembling ground. This time, the enormous finger fell and slid crookedly across the sandy ground, leaving a long, waist-deep trench in the ground.
The blood, cloth, flesh, organs, and bones of the yellow mud man had already clumped together. They were scraped off the fingernail and fell into the deep trench along with the flying sand and dust. It was as if someone had swatted a mosquito and slapped it against the wall.
As the ground shook, Lin Sanjiu made up her mind. She covered her face with one hand and threw the grand prize on her back with the other. Then, she sprinted back in the direction she came from. She ran as fast as she could. Soon, even her lungs felt like they were burning.
The wind whistled past her ears, and for a moment, she couldn't hear anything around her. Lin Sanjiu thought she heard a thunderous roar in the air. However, the roar was so loud that even the air was buzzing. Lin Sanjiu thought she was hallucinating. "Sis!" The grand prize suddenly called out beside her ear. Panting heavily, she turned around quickly to look at the source of the voice.
The two indomitable fingers had retracted back into the white mist at some point in time. They had completely disappeared.
"Gone?" Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to stop or slow down. She opened her mouth and took a big gulp of air.
"It's gone. It's been more than ten seconds," the grand prize said hastily. "You can stop now. It seems like it doesn't want us to go in that direction!"
Doubtfully, Lin Sanjiu ran a few more steps. She kept turning her head back to check. When she confirmed that the two fingers did not appear again, she gradually slowed down. She noticed that the [Battle Item] in her hand was already soaked in sweat.
"What the hell is that? Is it God?" She finally stopped and threw the grand prize on the ground. She held her knees and panted like a cow that had a heart attack. "Will we die if we go in that direction? Then, where should we go? "
"I... I don't know," the grand prize said with a pale face. "Why don't we try it slowly? Once we see that finger, we turn around and run back —"
Lin Sanjiu frowned. Just when she was considering the feasibility of this idea, she felt the sky above her head darkening.
Both of them were stunned. They looked at each other, but neither of them raised their heads.
At that moment, a row of long, thick, black hairs pierced through the white mist and reached above their heads. The row of black hairs was like a row of electric poles. They flickered above them, stirring up a strong gust of wind.
Lin Sanjiu slowly raised her head and saw a round eyeball in the sky. It was like a small planet approaching the surface of the earth. Through the fog, the huge eyeball looked at the two of them, revealing half of its bloodshot eye sockets.
"Ahhh!" The grand prize finally jumped up. "Run!"
However, it was too late.
Just as he finished speaking, the row of black hairs quickly retracted and was replaced by a large hand. It did not reach down to crush the two ants. Instead, it flipped its palm over the fog. Suddenly, it was like hailstones falling from the sky, and countless figures fell from the sky.
More and more figures fell to the ground. The ground was densely packed, and it did not seem like it was going to stop. The figures that were squeezed by the huge hand stood up from the ground. Like balloons, their deflated skulls, flattened bellies, and twisted limbs slowly puffed up and returned to their original state.
Countless ashen faces turned to look at them. Like a vast ocean, they stared at Lin Sanjiu and Ji Shanqing.
"Oh my god," the grand prize's mouth was wide open. "God's people are duoluozhong?"
