Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 177 Sandstorm

I had originally planned to stay here for one night, but it seems that I have to give up that plan now.

"Dali, let's go." Su Yue said, calling to Dali, who was playing with the affectionate wolf cub.

Soon, Dali packed his things and ran to Su Yue.

"Jiaojiao, quickly go and tell your boss about this. Tell him we need to leave immediately."

Upon hearing Su Yue's instructions, the wolf cub happily trotted over with its tiny, quick steps.

It was making whimpering sounds, as if it was trying to please its owner.

After Su Yue fed it a piece of jerky, the wolf cub wagged its tail and went to find the wolf king.

Before the sun had completely set and it was still early, after some searching, we finally found a relatively flat place that was some distance from the poplar forest.

Su Yue skillfully took out a tent from her spatial storage, followed by a brazier, two comfortable chairs, and a table.

Once everything was ready, the two of them enthusiastically began grilling the meat skewers.

Night fell quietly, and a gentle breeze blew. Compared to the strong winds during the day, the wind was noticeably weaker tonight.

When the entire sky is adorned with countless twinkling stars, the scene is breathtaking and captivating.

The wolf cub lay obediently beside Su Yue's chair, eagerly waiting for her to feed it.

Little Fatty was curled up in its own little bed, fast asleep, occasionally letting out a snoring sound.

After having a hearty meal, the other wolves lay down on the ground, tightly surrounding the tent, as if forming a natural protective barrier.

"Ah Yue, look! That star is so bright!" Dali excitedly pointed to a particularly dazzling star in the night sky and shouted.

Indeed, the stars are exceptionally bright and dazzling tonight. I lay in my chair and gazed at the starry sky.

It creates the illusion that you could easily pluck those stars if you just reached out your hand.

If it weren't for the biting chill of the night, I would have loved to lie here and fall asleep under this beautiful night sky forever.

However, as the night progressed, Su Yue was suddenly awakened by a gust of wind.

The wind howled like a ferocious beast, blowing incessantly, making it feel as if the entire tent was about to collapse in the wind, as if it might be lifted up and swept away by the gale at any moment.

Startled awake by the sudden noise outside, Su Yue sat up abruptly, her heart pounding with fear.

Without thinking twice, he hurriedly got up and ran outside to see what had happened.

As she ran out of the tent, in the dim moonlight, she was startled to discover a gigantic black shadow slowly drifting toward them in the darkness.

The dark shadow seemed like a demon emerging from the depths of hell, exuding a chilling aura.

At the same time, gusts of whistling wind came from afar, growing louder and louder, like the thunder of ten thousand horses, deafeningly loud.

"Damn it!" Su Yue couldn't help but blurt out a curse, inwardly realizing something was wrong.

Without the slightest hesitation, she turned and rushed into the tent, quickly taking the sleeping Little Fatty into her spatial storage.

Immediately afterwards, she shook Dali, who was half asleep beside her, without giving him any time to wake up, and pulled him up and rushed out.

Just as the sandstorm was about to hit, Su Yue quickly stored the entire tent, along with the pack of wolves that had become agitated by the sense of danger, into her spatial storage.

She could have easily hidden inside the space alone for safety, but that would have left Dali alone in the sandstorm.

Su Yue would never do such a thing.

Thinking of this, Su Yue hurriedly took out a thick and sturdy hemp rope from her space and quickly tied herself and Dali together tightly.

Then, she took a deep breath, channeled her inner strength, and used her lightness skill to speed away into the distance like a bolt of lightning.

After flying for nearly half an hour, Su Yue was so exhausted that she had to stop and rest for a while.

However, when she turned around to look, she couldn't help but gasp and exclaim, "Holy crap!"

The sandstorm, swirling and blotting out the sun, was getting closer and closer to them!

The gale, carrying billowing yellow sand, rushed in like a pack of ferocious beasts, baring their fangs and claws.

"We can't keep running like this, or we'll all get caught in this terrible sandstorm sooner or later. We have to find a safe place to take shelter right away!" Su Yue shouted anxiously, panting heavily.

Without further ado, Su Yue took out two shovels from her spatial storage and eagerly searched around, eventually finding a relatively high sand dune to use as a digging shelter.

"Dali, come quickly and help dig!" Su Yue shouted loudly.

Dali rushed over immediately. Seeing the undisguised tension on Su Yue's face, she picked up a shovel without saying a word and began digging vigorously in the location Su Yue had indicated.

Su Yue imbued the shovel in her hand with spiritual power and quickly dug into the sand dune.

However, despite their best efforts, time was still pressing and suffocatingly tight.

Just when the sandstorm was less than 100 meters away from them.

The sand cave that had just been dug, which could barely accommodate two people, collapsed halfway due to the violent tremors!

Faced with such a critical situation, the two did not hesitate at all.

Ignoring the constantly falling sand, he gritted his teeth and kept digging frantically, swinging his shovel with both hands.

Finally, when the sandstorm was only about 30 meters away from them, a sand cave that could accommodate two people was finally dug!

The two of them plunged into the hole and quickly used their hands to compact the sand around the entrance to prevent more sand from rushing in.

Immediately afterwards, they each put on the veils they had prepared beforehand to avoid having their mouths and noses covered by the surging sand, which would cause breathing difficulties.

Dali gripped the hemp rope and sword tied to his waist tightly, his body trembling slightly.

At this moment, Su Yue reached out a gentle hand and softly stroked Dali's head, comforting him in a low voice, "Dali, don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, I will never let you get hurt."

Hearing this, Dali's previously anxious heart calmed down a little.

She nodded vigorously, looking at Su Yue with unwavering eyes, and said, "Yes, Yue. As long as I can be with you, I won't be afraid of any danger, no matter how great it may be."

The moment the words left his mouth, the cave that had been painstakingly dug suddenly seemed to lose its support, and sand began to fall down in a continuous cascade.
