However, as soon as Princess Layla's team entered the Ghostly Demon Land, the transmission point was destroyed by the powerful force. In turn, it caused them to fail to reach their original destination. Moreover, their landing became chaotic, spreading them to various areas.
All of the members of Layla's team felt that they were pulled by a vicious force as if they were sucked into a black hole. They became extremely dizzy until they eventually lost consciousness.
When Rocky finally woke up, he found himself lying on the bed of a dry river. Half of his body was buried in sand and dust, and it seemed that he was in a desolate place. A moment later, a gust of cold wind blew from all directions, making him shiver to his bone.
Then, after a while, he noticed that he was alone. His eyes widened and he shouted, "Valeria!" As soon as he got his body out of the sand, the first thing that came to his mind was Valeria. He was worried that something bad happened to her, so he hurriedly tried to find her.
Eventually, Rocky saw her leaning against a big stone, still unconscious.
Then, Rocky instantly flew to her side and infused a stream of spiritual power into her body.
A few seconds later, Valeria started moaning and slowly opened her eyes.
"Valeria, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Rocky asked in a serious tone.
"I think I'm fine. Just a little dizzy, I guess. By the way, where are we? Are we already in the Ghostly Demon Land?" As Valeria looked around, she saw the quiet and barren surroundings. Apparently, they had arrived in the Ghostly Demon Land, but they were far from their original destination.
However, from what they saw, they were a bit surprised that the Ghostly Demon Land looked more appalling than what they had imagined.
"I guess so. The aura here is very chaotic. It fits the description that they told us. In fact, I can feel the auras of both gods and devils in this place," Rocky said with furrowed brows. The existence of the Holy-Evil World was like a legend to the members of the Shura Race since only a few of them managed to get to that place. Moreover, because Rocky had already been to the depths of the Holy Heaven Palace, he could easily tell that the Ghostly Demon Land was indeed more terrifying.
"What happened here? It feels like it had been completely destroyed a long time ago. I'm afraid all kinds of dangerous situations will welcome us eventually," Valeria uttered anxiously.
"I think so too. Anyway, we should be prepared. It seems that only the two of us are here. I don't see Princess Layla and the others, so they must have been teleported somewhere else. I want to find them, but it will be a bit difficult since we don't even know where we are." Rocky continued to examine their surroundings, and he could not help but let out a frown, not knowing where they should head first. The area where the two were was basically filled with a layer of yellow sand and dust. As they walked around, they could see some huge rocks protruding from the ground but no sign of life could be found anywhere. There was not even a single grass or tree in sight.
They could not help but think that this place was just like hell.
"What's going on? Can we leave here alive? I'm getting scared." Valeria started to sob a little, frightened at their current situation. She was so worried that they might really die if they weren't able to find a way to get out of there.
"Don't worry. Although I also don't know what will happen next, you can trust me to protect you. I won't let anything bad happen to you," Rocky promised firmly.
Valeria's worries gradually ebbed away. She felt a sense of comfort knowing that Rocky was by her side.
"For now, let's find a higher spot to observe the entire area. Maybe we can find a clue as to where our companions are." Fortunately for them, Rocky could still keep a level head even in this kind of situation. After all, this would not be enough to discourage him and make him give up.
After wiping the tears in her eyes, Valeria nodded and regained her composure.
Then, the two of them started walking along the dry river.
After a few minutes of walking, they reached a high place, where they could have a better view of their surroundings. Immediately after, they noticed an oasis not far away from them. There was a small lake in the center of the oasis, and it seemed that they could utilize it.
