desert.
The vast expanse of desert.
Snow-white sand is flying in the air, a heat wave sweeps across, and the space in the distance is distorted.
Gu Shen opened his eyes, and his first reaction was to look down at the composition of his body. When he saw a complete torso... he let out a sigh of relief.
Huh...it wasn't torn into pieces this time.
Different from the previous dice dream, the space of the Sands of Time Dream is very vast, and you can't see the edge at a glance. The rolling sand dunes are everything that makes up this dream.
"Chu Ling——"
Gu Shen spoke.
The next moment, the space around him became distorted, and countless garbled codes emerged, forcibly opening up an oasis of pure land in the "Sands of Time" dream.
A barefoot girl in a white skirt appeared out of thin air and slowly landed on the hot sand.
Gu Shen looked at the girl and pondered for a while.
He said seriously: "I'm sorry."
Chu Ling was a little surprised and asked with a smile: "Why do you need to apologize?"
"I want to take back what I said in Jingzhe's dream... If you have a choice, who wants to be the tailgater?"
Gu Shen said slowly: "Nan Jin said something to me when I was in the ward... If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. I just wrote it down at the time, but I didn't listen."
"At first, I just wanted to escape." He took a deep breath, "But now, I'm ready!"
"Besides, from the perspective of dream interpretation... I'm not as bad as I thought."
The girl smiled and shook her head.
"More than that, it's not that bad?" Chu Ling said softly: "The auditors outside say you are a genius one in a million."
Gu Shen spoke what was in his heart, and the last stone finally fell to the ground.
"Okay, stop being pretentious."
He squatted down, stretched out his fingers, twirled the grains of sand, and said: "I promised Senior Sister Luo that I would get the 'S' grade for this review, and I will do what I said. Since the record has been broken... then I might as well try my best to Go and let them see my true strength."
The white color of the sand is consistent with the texture observed in the sealed object.
"What's the fastest record for Sands of Time?" Gu Shen asked.
"The fastest record recorded in the deep sea system is 2 hours and 18 minutes." Chu Ling crossed his arms and asked with a smile: "Do you need help? If you go all out, I can let you pass the level in ten minutes."
"Ten minutes to clear the level is too outrageous..." Gu Shen smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Although it is a speed pass, if you get a score of 'ten minutes', you should be dragged directly to slice and study it."
"Okay, okay. Now is the final review." Chu Ling said lazily: "Besides you, the second person who can cheat under the eyes of the five great reviewers has not been born yet. You really achieved this result. , you should be marked as an important national treasure beyond the 'S'... As for the slice research, it will be too late to protect you by then, and they will not be willing to slice you up."
"It's rare to encounter a dream-sealed object of this level. I seemed to feel some inspiration during the last dream interpretation. This time, I still want to rely on my own strength to interpret the dream." Gu Shen thought for a while and said: "But the biggest thing is The problem is the consumption of mental energy..."
After untying the green dice, his spirit was already a little tired.
"You just need to interpret your dreams. Don't worry about anything else. I'll take care of everything."
After Chu Ling said this, he stopped talking.
She returned to being a quiet spectator again. The world in front of her was howling with the wind and filled with millions of grains of dust, but she only had Gu Shen in her eyes.
…
…
So far, Gu Shen has stood in the Sands of Time dream and has not moved forward rashly.
He thought back to what the justice had said.
The chief judge said that the three dream-sealed objects on the table all had very strong properties... I had already seen the properties of Qing Die, and when he came up, he tore the whole person into pieces.
And this seemingly peaceful world of sand dunes gave Gu Shen a danger lurking beneath the undercurrent of murderous intent.
It's huge here, so you can't get a close-up look like you can with bronze.
"Do we have to move?" Gu Shen tentatively took a step forward.
Just one step.
He realized something was wrong.
The quicksand wrapped around his calves and sank downwards... In the dream of "Sands of Time", the entire world was composed of soft sand, and every step he took faced the risk of being swallowed by the quicksand.
"Sure enough...this dream is very dangerous."
Seeing the quicksand swallowing him up, Gu Shen felt more at ease.
What he is afraid of is the unknown danger caused by the rules of dreams not being explored clearly!
"As long as it is wrapped with mental power, the quicksand can be temporarily stopped...so every step forward consumes mental power." He gradually understood the rules of this dream-sealed object, and the dreamer may be able to quickly discover the trick. , but if you want to complete dream interpretation, you really need a solid mental foundation. The Sands of Time dream in front of you is the best example.
Gu Shen speculated that there might be an exit leading in the right direction.
Even if you are on the right path, you still need enough mental support to reach the destination.
"Zi la..."
Gu Shen felt like he was sinking. Just when he was about to use his mental power, the quicksand around his calf was sinking at a much slower rate... Invisible garbled characters appeared in the quicksand.
It was Chu Ling who took action.
The speed of the quicksand wrapping around him instantly dropped several times, 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 could actually change the rules of the Sands of Time dream... Was he able to do it using the deep sea? Incredible technical means.
In this way, I can explore the Sands of Time dreamland "unscrupulously".
There was no need to worry about mental energy consumption, and Gu Shen immediately felt much more relaxed.
He observed the direction of the wind and decided to run in the direction in which the sand grains were floating... If "inversion" was a sign of activating the sealed object, then the movement direction of the sand grains might be a breakthrough.
ten minutes later.
Gu Shen returned to where he was.
Chu Ling smiled and said nothing, looking at him quietly.
"Change the direction and try again?" In the vast dreamland of the Sands of Time... Gu Shen made a second attempt.
Ten minutes later, he returned to the same spot 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 trekked a certain distance, he would be surrounded by sand and dust, no matter where he was. Whether he goes forward with the sand wind or goes against resistance, the outcome is the same... He returns to where he came from.
But Chu Ling never moved a step from beginning to end.
Obviously, she knows the properties of the "Sands of Time".
"If I was the only one... then it would take a long time to discover that this world is 'cyclical'." Gu Shen realized a very serious problem, "If it weren't for Chu Ling, I might think that I was going in the right direction. And I keep moving forward... In fact, I just keep repeating the useless work of returning to the same place."
He counted the numbers silently in his mind.
Every time I return to the original place, it takes about six hundred seconds or ten minutes.
Does this mean that... the limit of this world is the length of six hundred seconds of running at full strength?
"etc……"
Gu Shen thought of another possibility.
He squatted down and started to dig into the sand pit. The quicksand in the dream was already turbulent, but after digging into the pit, the flow became faster. After seeing Gu Shen's behavior, Chu Ling's eyes flickered slightly.
This time, no garbled characters appeared, preventing the quicksand from slowing down the collapse.
Gu Shen dug a sand pit, jumped into it, 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, and first his calves were swallowed, then his thighs, and his lower body was lost. Gu Shen lost consciousness, as if being bitten tightly by two thick walls, and closed his eyes.
"600...599..."
"120...119..."
With two minutes left, quicksand reached his neck, and Gu Shen felt his heart being held by a strong hand.
A lot of pressure.
Just then, the garbled code appeared!
A series of vague symbols appeared out of thin air and surrounded Gu Shen's neck. The erosion of the 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 getting darker...
"10...9...8..."
Final seconds.
The feeling of suffocation and restraint were all gone.
Gu Shen opened his eyes. He raised his hands easily, without any hindrance from the quicksand... because he was not buried under the sand at all, but was standing on a small sand dune, in the sand pit that had been dug out earlier. Gone.
This world is filled with wind and sand, endless and despairing.
"ten minutes……"
Gu Shen looked at Chu Ling and murmured: "I know the characteristics of the Sand of Time dream."
