The mysterious figure did not answer his question, but slowly walked in front of him and stopped. He looked at Bai Ye quietly, as if studying his body and soul.

"What...what do you want to do?" Bai Ye asked again, with a hint of fear and despair in his voice.

The mysterious figure finally spoke, his voice was low and hoarse: "Are you the one who tried to uncover the secret of the golden toilet?"

Bai Ye was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that this mysterious figure knew his identity and purpose. He tried to stay calm, but his voice was still trembling: "Yes...what if it's me?"

The mysterious figure smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm and contempt in his voice: "Do you know? The golden toilet is the sacred object of our mysterious force. It contains infinite power and secrets. Anyone who tries to uncover its secrets will be severely punished."

When Bai Ye heard this, a strong anger and unwillingness surged in his heart. He knew that he could not just succumb to the threat of this mysterious force. He must find a way to uncover the secret of the golden toilet and save his own life and the lives of the soldiers.

"I won't give in!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, with a hint of firmness and courage in his voice, "I will find a way to reveal your true face and the secret of the golden toilet!"

The mysterious figure sneered when he heard this. He slowly raised his hand, and a dazzling light flashed on his fingers. He gently waved his fingers, and a powerful energy wave shot out from his fingers and hit Bai Ye's chest directly.

Bai Ye only felt a sharp pain coming from his chest, and his body seemed to be torn apart by a powerful force. He fell to the ground in pain, and his body kept twitching. He felt that his life was gradually passing away, but he still clenched his fists tightly, unwilling to succumb to the threat of this mysterious force.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a warm force surging from his body. This force seemed to come from the depths of his soul, with a mysterious and powerful force. It quickly repaired his damaged body and soul and allowed him to stand up again.

"You...how could you..." The mysterious figure looked at Bai Ye in surprise, with a hint of disbelief and horror in his voice.

Bai Ye was also a little surprised and puzzled. He didn't know where this power came from, but it did save his life and gave him back his strength and courage.

"I... I don't know either." Bai Ye answered honestly, "But I know that I can't just succumb to your threats. I must find a way to uncover the secret of the golden toilet and save my own and the soldiers' lives."

The mysterious man heard this, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He knew that Bai Ye was no longer the person who could be easily threatened and controlled. He must take more severe measures to eliminate this potential threat.

However, at this moment, a sudden loud noise broke the tranquility of the entire space. Then, a powerful energy wave came from a distance, knocking both the mysterious man and Bai Ye to the ground.

Bai Ye took the opportunity to stand up, holding the weapon in his hand tightly, and looked around vigilantly. He knew that the threat of this mysterious force was not over, and he must remain vigilant and courageous to survive this crisis.

At this moment, he heard a familiar sound of footsteps. He immediately turned around and saw the soldiers coming out of the darkness in the distance, with firm expressions and courage on their faces.

"Bai Ye! We are here!" The soldiers shouted loudly, with a hint of excitement and pride in their voices, "We will not let you face the threat of this mysterious force alone!"

Bai Ye looked at the soldiers' firm eyes and courage, and a strong feeling of emotion and strength surged in his heart. He knew that he was not alone. He had a group of loyal soldiers and friends who were willing to fight for his life and glory.

"Everyone be careful!" Bai Ye whispered, "This mysterious force is very powerful. We must unite as one to defeat them."

The soldiers nodded in agreement after hearing this. They followed Bai Ye closely, ready for the upcoming battle. They knew that this battle was not only to save Bai Ye's life, but also to defend their honor and dignity.

The mysterious figure looked at the arrival of the soldiers, and a trace of fear and uneasiness flashed in his eyes. He knew that he could no longer easily control the situation. He must take more drastic measures to eliminate this potential threat.

However, at this moment, a dazzling light shot from afar, instantly illuminating the entire space. Then, a brave warrior in armor walked out of the light, holding a huge sword in his hand, emitting dazzling light.

"I am the guardian of this mysterious force." The brave warrior said loudly, "You dare to try to uncover the secret of the golden toilet. This is a blasphemy against our sacred power. You must accept severe punishment!"

Bai Ye looked at the brave warrior's firm eyes and powerful momentum, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart. He knew that this brave warrior was by no means an ordinary person, and he had to go all out to defeat this powerful enemy.

"Everyone be careful!" Bai Ye reminded again in a low voice, "This brave warrior is very powerful, we must unite as one to defeat him."

The soldiers clutched their weapons tightly, their eyes flashing with nervousness and confusion. Bai Ye looked ahead. There was nothing there, only the endless sea of ​​sand glowing with a dazzling white light under the scorching sun. Everything just now - the golden toilet, the mysterious figure, the heroic warrior, and the sudden energy fluctuation, seemed to be just an illusion, a short but realistic dream.

"Are we... still in the desert?" A soldier's voice trembled slightly, breaking the silence around him.

Bai Ye nodded, his eyes deep. "Yes, we are still where we are. It seems that we are too tired and have hallucinations." He tried to make his voice sound firm to appease the soldiers' uneasiness.

The soldiers looked at each other with relief and confusion in their eyes. What they had just experienced was too real. How could that touch, that fear, and that power fluctuation be just an illusion? But the sight before them clearly told them that this was indeed the case.

"Leader, what should we do next?" asked another soldier, his eyes full of expectation, as if he was looking for an answer that would allow them to move forward.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and looked around. The desert is still vast, the sun is high, scorching the earth, and the air is filled with scalding heat waves. He knew that in this desert, every step might hide danger, but retreating was never an option for them.

"We continue to move forward." Bai Ye's voice was firm and powerful. "Although everything just now may be an illusion, our goal has not changed. We must find the water source, find a way out, and get out of here alive."

When the soldiers heard this, they nodded one after another, and the light of hope rekindled in their eyes. They reorganized their equipment, checked water and food sources, and prepared to embark on the journey again.

Bai Ye walked at the front of the team, but his heart was not as peaceful as it seemed. He understood that the hallucination appeared this time because the team was exhausted physically and mentally after surviving in extreme environments for a long time. The brain began to protect itself and created some seemingly reasonable scenarios to escape reality. But this does not mean that they can take it lightly, because in this desert, any small negligence may have fatal consequences.

As the team went deeper, the scenery of the desert began to change. In the originally monotonous yellow sand, a little green occasionally appears, which is proof of the tenacious life's tenacious survival in extreme environments. When Bai Ye and the soldiers saw this, they couldn't help but feel a bit of respect in their hearts, which also strengthened their determination to survive.

However, at this moment, a sudden sandstorm broke the tranquility of the desert. The strong wind whipped up thousands of piles of snow, filling the sky with yellow sand and blocking out the sun. Bai Ye immediately ordered the team to squat on the spot and cover their mouths and noses with clothes to prevent the intrusion of sand and dust.

The sandstorm lasted for a full hour. When the last wisp of sand fell, the desert regained its tranquility, but everything in front of us had changed drastically. The originally clearly visible path was covered with yellow sand, and the sense of direction became extremely blurry.

"Leader, where should we go?" a soldier asked anxiously.

Bai Ye was silent for a moment, thinking quickly in his mind. He knew that getting lost in the desert was the most dangerous, but they could not stop and must keep moving forward to find hope of life.

"Follow the sun." Bai Ye decided. "In the desert, the sun is the best compass. If we keep the angle facing the east, we should be able to find traces of human activities."

Hearing this, the soldiers nodded one after another, followed Bai Ye's guidance, and embarked on the journey again. This time, they walked more cautiously, taking every step carefully for fear of missing any possible clues.

Time seems to have lost its meaning in the desert. Only the movement of the sun and the exhaustion of the body remind them of the passage of time. As night falls, the temperature in the desert drops sharply and the wind is biting. Bai Ye and the soldiers sat around a bonfire, sharing the only food and water and keeping each other warm.

"Leader, can we really get out?" A soldier's voice was somewhat uncertain.

Bai Ye looked at him, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes. "We will definitely be able to get out." His voice was firm and powerful. "As long as we are united and don't give up hope, nothing can stop us."

When the soldiers heard this, they nodded one after another, and the light of hope rekindled in their eyes. They leaned together tightly and spent one cold night after another.

In this way, they trudged forward in the desert and experienced countless life and death tests. Sometimes they encountered dry river beds and sometimes saw traces of abandoned camel trains, which became the motivation for them to move forward. They know that every clue they find means they are one step closer to hope.

Finally, on a clear morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on their tired faces, they saw the looming oasis ahead. It was a green place with water, trees and the breath of life.

"We're here!" Bai Ye shouted excitedly, his voice full of indescribable joy and pride.

The soldiers stood up one after another, cheering, running, and sprinting towards the oasis. They knew that at this moment, they finally defeated the desert, defeated themselves, and found the hope of life.

The moment they stepped into the oasis, everyone felt unprecedentedly relaxed and satisfied. They lay on the soft grass and looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, their hearts filled with awe and gratitude for life.

Bai Ye stood on a high place, looking at this vibrant oasis, with a lot of emotion in his heart. He knew that this experience would become the most precious wealth in their lives, teaching them the power of persistence, courage and unity.

"We did it." Bai Ye said softly, his voice was weak but full of power.

The soldiers nodded one after another, with tears in their eyes. They knew that this experience not only allowed them to walk out of the desert, but also let them walk out of their inner fear and confusion and find their true self.

In the following days, they cultivated their bodies and minds in the oasis, waiting for the arrival of rescue. And when the rescue team finally found them, each of them announced their victory and rebirth to the world with the brightest smile and the most determined eyes.

After returning to civilized society, Bai Ye and the soldiers became legends. Their stories were widely circulated, inspiring countless people to never give up and move forward bravely in the face of difficulties. And the desert that once made them suffer has become more mysterious and desirable because of them.

However, for Bai Ye and the soldiers, that experience has long surpassed the simple challenge of survival. It taught them to cherish life, understand the power of the team, and let them understand what true courage and persistence are. In the days to come, no matter how great the difficulties they encounter, they will carry this belief and strength, move forward bravely and fearlessly.

Bai Ye suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was still in the vast desert, and everything around him was still desolate and desperate. The oasis and vitality of that moment were just another beautiful fantasy he wove out of extreme fatigue and desire. Sweat slid down his forehead, dripped into the thirsty sand, and disappeared in an instant, just like the fire of hope that had just ignited in his heart, which was instantly extinguished by the ruthless reality.

He sat up slowly and looked around. The soldiers were sitting or lying, with the same confusion and loss on their faces. The "rebirth" they had just experienced turned out to be just a more cruel dream, which hit their hearts again.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions. He knew that he couldn't fall down at this moment. As a leader, he must become the spiritual pillar of the team.

"Everyone..." He spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, but he tried his best to stay calm, "Although we are back to the starting point, our will has not been defeated. Remember, the real oasis is not in front of us, but in our hearts. As long as we have hope in our hearts, we will definitely find a way out."

The soldiers looked up when they heard this, and a faint spark rekindled in their eyes. They knew that Bai Ye was right. In this ruthless desert, they have lost too much, but the only thing they cannot lose is the desire for life and hope for the future.

So, they stood up again, shook off the dust on their bodies, reorganized their equipment, and prepared to embark on the journey again. Although the road ahead is unknown, they believe that as long as there is light in their hearts, they can illuminate the way forward.

Bai Ye walked at the front of the team, and his back looked unusually firm in the sunset.
