Chapter 6
After defeating the sand worm, Lin Feng and others continued to move forward in the desert. Their moods were both nervous and excited. They didn't know what kind of tests they would encounter next.
"Lin Feng, why do you think that senior gave us these tests?" Xiaohu asked as he walked, his face full of confusion.
Lin Feng frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I think the senior wants to see if we have enough determination and perseverance to cultivate immortality. After all, the road to immortality is full of difficulties and obstacles."
Xiaohua closely followed Lin Feng. There was still some fear on her face. "Brother Lin Feng, that sand worm was so terrifying. I thought we were going to die."
Lin Feng gently patted Xiaohua's head and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Xiaohua. We have passed one test. I believe we can also handle the subsequent tests."
A Niu clenched his fist, and fighting spirit burned in his eyes. "We must pass all the tests and avenge the Taoist priest!"
They continued walking. The sun in the desert was still extremely hot, making their mouths dry. But they didn't complain and just persevered silently.
After walking for a while, they found a huge sand dune ahead. The sand dune towered into the clouds, like an insurmountable mountain.
"This sand dune is so big! How can we get over it?" Xiaohu looked at the sand dune and said helplessly.
Lin Feng looked at the sand dune, and he also felt troubled. But he knew that they couldn't retreat. "Let's walk around the sand dune and see if there is another way."
So, they started walking around the sand dune. The sand around the sand dune was very soft, and every step they took was extremely difficult. Moreover, the sand dune seemed to have no end. They walked for a long time but still didn't find a way out.
"This way of walking is not a solution. Our physical strength will be exhausted." A Niu wiped the sweat and said worriedly.
Lin Feng also realized the seriousness of the problem. He stopped and thought about a countermeasure. "We can't keep walking like this. We must think of a way to climb the sand dune."
"But the sand dune is so high. How can we climb it?" Xiaohua asked.
Lin Feng looked around and found some dry branches and vines. "We can use these branches and vines to make a simple ladder and then climb the sand dune."
Everyone nodded in agreement and began to make the ladder. They spent a lot of effort and finally made a crude but still relatively sturdy ladder.
Lin Feng leaned the ladder against the sand dune and then carefully climbed up. The sand on the sand dune was very loose. He had to be extremely careful with every step to avoid slipping down.
"Everyone be careful and follow me." Lin Feng said to everyone as he looked back.
Xiaohu and others also followed Lin Feng and climbed up the sand dune. They climbed step by step. Sweat soaked their clothes. But they didn't give up. There was only one belief in their hearts, which was to pass the test.
Finally, they climbed to the top of the sand dune. Standing on the sand dune, they could see the scenery in the distance. The desert was still desolate, but their hearts were full of hope.
"We finally climbed up!" Xiaohu said excitedly.
Lin Feng looked into the distance and was filled with emotions. "This is just a small victory. We still have a long way to go."
They rested on the sand dune for a while and then continued on their way. After walking for a short while, they encountered another problem. There was a quicksand area in the desert. If they were not careful, they would sink into it.
"What should we do? We can't cross it." A Niu looked at the quicksand and said anxiously.
Lin Feng frowned and thought about a solution. "We can't risk walking directly across. We must find a safe way."
"What's the way?" Xiaohua asked.
Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "We can find some wooden boards and lay them on the quicksand. Then we can walk slowly across."
Everyone began to look for wooden boards around. Fortunately, they found some wooden boards buried by the wind and sand not far away. They carried the wooden boards to the quicksand area and carefully laid them on it.
Lin Feng tentatively stepped on the wooden board and felt that it was still relatively sturdy. "Everyone follow me and walk carefully."
They followed one by one and slowly walked across the quicksand area. With every step, they were on tenterhooks, fearing that the wooden board would not be able to bear their weight and collapse.
Finally, they safely passed the quicksand area. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and there was a relieved smile on their faces.
"We have overcome another difficulty." Xiaohu said happily.
Lin Feng looked at everyone and was filled with emotion. "Everyone is very brave. We will definitely be able to pass all the tests."
They continued to move forward in the desert. After an unknown amount of time, they saw a strange sight. There was an ancient castle in the desert. The walls of the castle were covered with mysterious runes.
"What's that?" Xiaohua asked in surprise.
Lin Feng was also very curious. He carefully observed the castle. "This castle looks very mysterious. Maybe there are clues we need inside."
They walked towards the castle, full of expectation. When they approached the castle, the castle gate slowly opened, and a mysterious power rushed towards them.
They carefully walked into the castle. It was pitch black inside. They could only grope forward, their hearts full of tension.
After walking for a while, they saw a glimmer of light. They walked towards the light and found a room there. In the room, there was an ancient book and some strange props.
"What's this place?" Xiaohu asked.
Lin Feng picked up the book and opened it. The book recorded some secrets about the desert and information about the tests. It turned out that they had to pass a series of tests in the castle to complete this stage of the test.
"It seems that we have a new challenge again." Lin Feng said.
They began to carefully study the props in the room, hoping to find some clues to help them pass the test. In this process, they encountered various difficulties, but they didn't give up. Instead, they worked together to find solutions.
After some efforts, they finally found some clues and successfully passed the tests in the castle. When they walked out of the castle, they felt that they had grown a lot.
"We are getting closer and closer to our goal." Lin Feng said.
They continued to move forward in the desert, full of confidence. They knew that as long as they persevered, they would definitely be able to complete the test, obtain the opportunity to cultivate immortality, and avenge the Taoist priest.
