Chapter 72: A Difficult Pursuit

Lynn and the team members set off on the journey to find the headquarters of the evil organization with new clues and full determination. However, it was not easy at all to find this deeply - hidden headquarters. The evil organization seemed to have anticipated that someone would come to track them down and had set up numerous obstacles along the way.

 

Based on some vague information they got from the figure in the sarcophagus, they headed in a general direction. In the wasteland world, the terrain was complex and changeable. There were towering mountains, deep canyons, and endless deserts. These harsh natural environments brought great difficulties to their tracking operation.

 

When crossing a desert, they encountered a strong sandstorm. The wind howled, and the sand flew all over the sky. The visibility was almost zero. The team members huddled together tightly and struggled to move forward in the desert. Lynn constantly reminded everyone to stay calm and use the light of the gem to distinguish the direction.

 

"Don't panic, follow my light," Lynn shouted loudly. Guided by the light of the gem, they groped forward step by step in the sandstorm. However, the power of the sandstorm was so strong that their bodies were constantly hit by the sand, and they had to make great efforts for each step.

 

After several hours of arduous trekking, the sandstorm finally subsided gradually. They collapsed exhausted in the desert and gasped for breath. "This sandstorm is really terrible. I don't know how many more such difficulties we will encounter," a team member complained.

 

Lynn stood up, patted the sand on his body, and said, "We can't be defeated by these difficulties. Our goal is to find the headquarters of the evil organization. Everyone, take a rest and then continue to move forward." After hearing Lynn's words, the team members cheered up one after another and began to replenish water and energy.

 

They continued to move forward along the clues. In a mountain range, they found some strange markings. These markings were somewhat similar to the patterns they had seen on the cave wall before, seemingly left by the evil organization as a guide. "It seems that we are on the right track. These markings may lead us to the headquarters," Lynn said excitedly.

 

They moved forward in the direction of the markings, but found that they were blocked by a bottom - less canyon ahead. There was thick fog in the canyon, making it impossible to see the situation below. "How can we cross this canyon?" a team member said worriedly.

 

Lynn carefully observed the canyon and found that there were some protruding rocks on one side of the canyon. He came up with an idea. He used the gem and the mysterious power to create some ropes and then, with the support of the rocks, let the team members cross the canyon one by one.

 

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out," Lynn said. He concentrated his mind, fused the gem and the mysterious power, and created several tough ropes. He first fixed the ropes to the rocks and then let the team members grab the ropes and slowly move towards the other side of the canyon.

 

Under Lynn's command, the team members carefully crossed the canyon. However, when the last team member was about to reach the other side, the rope suddenly broke. This team member immediately lost his balance and fell into the depths of the canyon.

 

"Quick, catch him!" Lynn shouted. He quickly used the gem and the mysterious power to form an energy shield in mid - air and caught the falling team member. The team members all breathed a sigh of relief and admired Lynn's ability even more.

 

After crossing the canyon, they continued to move forward along the markings. But they found that the markings were getting more and more blurred. It seemed that the evil organization had noticed their tracking and started to deliberately destroy the markings. "This won't work. We have to speed up, or we may lose the clue," Lynn said.

 

They quickened their pace and encountered various traps and monster attacks along the way. These traps and monsters were carefully arranged by the evil organization with the purpose of preventing them from finding the headquarters. But Lynn and the team members, with their tenacious will and powerful strength, managed to turn danger into safety again and again.

 

During the tracking process, they also found some villages controlled by the evil organization. The people in the villages lived in fear and were oppressed and exploited by the evil organization. Lynn and the team members decided to rescue these villagers first and let them get out of the bitter sea.

 

They sneaked into the village and had a fierce battle with the minions of the evil organization. In the battle, they found that although these minions were numerous, their strength was not strong. Lynn and the team members quickly defeated them and rescued the villagers.

 

The villagers were very grateful to Lynn and the team members and provided some new clues about the evil organization. It turned out that the headquarters of the evil organization was in an ancient castle nearby. After learning this news, Lynn and the team members were greatly inspired and quickly headed in the direction of the castle.

 

Despite the numerous difficulties along the way, Lynn and the team members never gave up. They knew that as long as they found the headquarters of the evil organization, they might be able to completely destroy this evil force and restore peace to the wasteland world.
