The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

at the same time.

A desert ruin ten kilometers away from the villa area.

Suddenly, a grain of sand twitched slightly.

Then came the second one, and the third one.

The sandy ground, spanning several thousand meters in radius, began to churn violently, like boiling water.

Deep underground, a colossal consciousness is awakening.

It carefully stretched out its vast sensory network, scanning the area that filled it with dread again and again.

No more.

There really aren't any left.

That terrifying presence, as heavy as a mountain and imbued with the aura of destruction and death, vanished completely from my senses.

"That guy really left?!"

A surge of ecstasy welled up in the monster's mind, but it was quickly suppressed by a deeper sense of vigilance.

"Did that madman deliberately lure me out?"

"No, that's impossible."

"That idiot shouldn't have that kind of intelligence."

Caution is its nature; it dares not be careless in the slightest before things are certain.

It had been lying dormant underground for so long that it had almost forgotten what sunlight felt like.

It all started with that damn madman.

Two weeks ago, that madman, dragging his cement hammer, barged into Qiansha's territory without warning.

Without saying a word, he severely injured it.

If it hadn't escaped quickly, its grave would probably be overgrown with weeds by now.

What's worse is that the guy never intended to leave after he arrived; he just kept wandering around his territory.

The monster burrowed into the deepest part of the earth and never dared to show its face.

It could clearly sense that the ugly thing's fighting power far surpassed its own.

A head-on confrontation would definitely not end well for it.

So it can only wait.

But today, the aura of that ugly thing seems to have disappeared.

This time, it extended its perception to the limit, confirming it countless times.

"It has indeed disappeared."

It wasn't about hiding or lying low; it was about completely leaving the area.

"Boom—!!!"

The next second, a huge sand dune suddenly rose up from the entire desert ruins!

The sand and soil cracked, and countless bottomless fissures spread in all directions.

With a deafening roar, a colossal creature burst forth from the ground!

It was a gigantic worm that defies description.

Its body diameter exceeds twenty meters, and the part that is exposed above the ground is already over one hundred meters high.

Its dark yellow carapace was covered with wrinkles and holes. It had no eyes, only a huge, ring-shaped mouth that was split open to the limit, inside which were countless sharp teeth that spun like a meat grinder.

Lord of the Sand Abyss - Qian Sha!

"hiss--!!!"

It let out an excited roar, its massive body churning the sand sea and stirring up towering waves.

The pent-up hunger and rage, suppressed for too long, erupted completely at this moment.

As it hissed, countless tiny worms began to emerge from the numerous holes in the sand beneath it.

These worms range in size from as thick as a bucket to even more terrifying ones, with many exceeding three meters in diameter. They are all offspring bred from the sand.

Countless larvae swarmed around the burrowing sand like a tide, emitting sharp cries, awaiting its command.

Qian Sha opened its huge mouth and let out a hiss.

"That guy's scent has finally disappeared. Children, Mommy's hungry. Go and get her some food."

"hiss--!!"

The next second, countless enormous bodies suddenly sank and spread rapidly in the surrounding directions.

Those enormous sand lord larvae rolled and churned in the sea of ​​sand, crushing everything in their path into dust.

Whether it's dilapidated building ruins or withered, dead trees, they all vanish under their meat grinder-like mouthparts.

Sharp screeching sounds rose and fell, converging into a deafening roar that sent chills down one's spine.

......

"Holy crap! What the hell is that?!"

A player exploring the edge of the ruins stared in disbelief at the sandstorm sweeping in like a tsunami from afar, so frightened that he almost dropped his rifle.

His companion next to him turned deathly pale instantly.

"Run! Run! Back to the safe zone!"

Without him even reminding them, all the players who witnessed this scene were overcome by their survival instincts.

They turned and ran, wishing their parents could give them two more legs.

However, how could they possibly outrun those monsters that moved freely across the sand?

"boom--!"

The sand beneath the feet of the last player suddenly exploded.

Before he could even let out a scream, a worm as thick as a bucket burst out of the ground, its huge ring-shaped mouthparts instantly swallowing him whole.

Blood and entrails exploded, the scene so gruesome it terrified the players behind.

"Aaaaaah! Help!"

Screams, cries for help, and gunshots mingled together.

But this did nothing to stop the monsters.

The larvae of the Sand Abyss Lord crush everything in their path.

Players who were slow to escape were devoured one by one by the worms that emerged from the ground, leaving no intact corpses behind.

The anchor, Mo Fang, was also among the fleeing crowd.

"OMG! Ladies and gentlemen..."

Turn around...

Running like a madman!

He pointed the camera at the hellish scene behind him.

His live stream chat was completely flooded with comments.

[Good heavens! Did we disturb a bug nest?]

This is terrifying! Is this the end of the world?!

[Hey Mo Fang, stop filming! Run! The sand behind you is almost up to your heels!]

[You damn leg, I'm ordering you, run faster! I don't want to be eaten!]

Mo Fang was panting heavily, feeling like his lungs were about to explode.

The sound of churning sand behind him grew closer and closer; he could even smell the foul wind carrying a mixture of sand and a fishy stench.

In the live stream room, there were also people who enjoyed watching the drama unfold.

[Hey, you old Mexican, hurry up! Take one down and you'll be number one in the whole server!]

[Yes, yes, yes! Now is the time to show off your true skills!]

When Mo Bufang saw this comment, he almost choked and fainted.

"superior?"

He ran and shouted.

"Go to hell..."

"If I go up there now, I'll become organic fertilizer for this desert tomorrow!"

Fortunately, the faintly glowing light screen of the safe zone was already in sight.

That thin layer of light, at this moment, was the only hope in the eyes of all the players.

"Faster! Faster!"

"Don't look back!"

Players rushed toward the light screen like madmen, their survival instincts squeezing out the last bit of strength from their bodies, as if they had seen a lifeline.

When the last player scrambled into the safe zone, their tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

The relief of surviving the ordeal left everyone's faces etched with a sense of disbelief.

As they stared at the thin curtain of light, their hearts pounded wildly in their chests, almost shattering their ribs.

Beyond the light curtain lies a churning sea of ​​sand and countless grotesque worms.

Within the light curtain, there was a deathly stillness.

A fine line separates them, yet they are worlds apart, one of life and one of death.

Someone couldn't help but ask a question, their voice hoarse from exhaustion.

"Just this one layer of light... can it really stop those monsters?"
