Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Land of Hope in the Desert of Gobone
Gu Fan looked into the distance, and could faintly see a touch of green, which was probably the oasis that Yue Lao said.
"I'm right. Yue Lao smiled proudly, since he said that there is an oasis, then there must be.
"That's right, that's right, the teacher is the best. Gu Fan should be kind, anyway, it doesn't cost money to say good things.
"But it will be at least an hour before it gets there. Gu Fan said, looking behind him, those man-eating insects were still some distance away from him.
When these insects caught up with him, it was estimated that he would be in the oasis, and Gu Fan's hanging heart slowly fell.
Things are indeed the same as Gu Fan thought, although one or two man-eating insects occasionally come out on the road, but they are not a threat to him, as long as they can easily dodge.
After a few sideways, Gu Fan dodged these man-eating insects and continued to run in the direction of the oasis.
"There shouldn't be any magical beasts there, right?" As they got closer and closer, Gu Fan felt a little unsteady in his heart.
"It's not for sure. Yue Lao smiled faintly, after all, there are man-eating insects in the harsh environment of the desert, let alone an oasis.
"Maybe there's a Martial King Demonic Beast in there. Yue Lao quipped.
"Cut, you're going to lie. Gu Fan didn't care about it this time, Yue Lao always liked to make jokes about him.
"Hey, hey. Yue Lao smiled and didn't speak again, this time Gu Fan didn't scare Gu Fan.
If there is a chance, I have to treat you well, Gu Fan thought in his heart.
In less than an hour, Gu Fan came to the oasis.
"Roar!" The man-eating insect behind Gu Fan let out a loud roar and actually stopped slowly.
"What's going on?" Gu Fan turned his head to look, and all the man-eating insects invariably stopped pursuing him.
Looking at the oasis in front of him, Gu Fan couldn't help frowning slightly, there was really enough to deter the existence of man-eating insects.
"Teacher, what you won't say is true, right?" Gu Fan stood in place, looking carefully at the oasis in front of him.
But because there are so many plants, I can't see the inside clearly.
"I just say it casually, you just listen to it casually, how can you still take it seriously?" Elder Yue laughed, sure enough, Gu Fan is still easy to deceive.
"Damn, I won't believe you anymore. Gu Fan scolded angrily and walked towards the oasis.
"No, don't, I'm kidding haha. Although Yue Lao said, he couldn't help laughing.
Those man-eating insects saw Gu Fan walking in the direction of the oasis, and one by one they burrowed into the ground, and the desert that had been rioting for more than a day gradually returned to calm.
It's just that there are still some places where the pungent smell still fills the air.
"It doesn't seem too small. After Gu Fan got closer, he realized that the area of this oasis was quite large.
Moreover, the density of plants is much more than that of the woods, completely blocking the view.
"To enter or not to enter...... Gu Fan thought, if he didn't enter, then recover his strength outside here and continue to set off.
If you go in, it's okay if there is no danger, but if you really let Yue Lao say it, you will die.
But again, there must be some secrets in this oasis, and if you can get them, maybe you can improve your strength a little.
Now I don't know how far away it is from the deepest part, the man-eating insects on the road will definitely become stronger and stronger, and if you are a little stronger, you will be able to have more protection.
"Come in!" Gu Fan decided, brushing aside the leaves and walking towards the oasis.
As soon as he entered the oasis, Gu Fan had a cool feeling, the leaves here were much larger than those in other places, which could block the scorching sun.
"It's so comfortable. Gu Fan sighed, since he came out of the Qingyun Sect, he hadn't felt like this for a long time.
"It's amazing. Yue Lao said in surprise: "Generally speaking, the oasis in the desert is only a small area, but this one is so large. ”
"Moreover, these plants are also growing too well. ”
"The world is so big, it's all wonderful. Gu Fan said with a smile, even if he was an old man, there were many things he hadn't seen before.
To be able to grow like this in the desert, there must be plenty of water, but it is a bit strange that there is such an abundance of water in the desert.
Along the way, apart from the trees, Gu Fan didn't see any other magical beasts, not even ordinary small animals.
Swish~
Just when Gu Fan was puzzled, there was a sound from the nearby bushes, as if something was hidden inside.
"Who!" Gu Fan asked in a deep voice: "Hide, hide, what do you want to do!"
"Squeak squeak~"
But unlike what Gu Fan thought, the head that poked out of the bushes was actually a little rabbit.
"Damn, I thought it was something. Gu Fan exhaled.
"Do you think it's a monster?" said Yue Lao, laughing, saying that Gu Fan was timid, he was not afraid of anything, saying that Gu Fan was bold, a rabbit could scare him.
"But since you have encountered it, it is better to ......" Gu Fan stared at the rabbit, rubbed his left and right palms, and the rabbit looked like it had a lot of meat.
Thinking about it, Gu Fan pounced on the rabbit, but the rabbit flashed, but it made him pounce.
"Tricked by a rabbit. Yue Laoqiang held back a smile and watched Gu Fan continue to attack the rabbit.
"I'm going to have to catch you. Gu Fan swore that according to the previous method, he should be able to catch it easily, but the speed of this rabbit was not ordinarily fast.
However, Gu Fan didn't dare to use the flame, after all, this was in the oasis, once it was not good, it would be destroyed, in case people passed by later, wouldn't it be cool if there was no place to hide.
"Look where you're going. Gu Fan jumped forward, and his body rushed towards the rabbit in a large shape.
But at the moment when it was about to land, the rabbit dodged again, so that Gu Fan didn't pounce on anything.
"Squeak squeak~" Looking at Gu Fan lying on the ground, the rabbit screamed, as if there was some mockery.
"You're looking for death!" Gu Fan's anger grew higher and higher, and now a rabbit dared to mock him?
This time I have to teach it how to be a rabbit well!
"Alright, alright, White Fang, stop making trouble. A laugh rang out, and a long-haired man slowly walked out of the woods.
"Squeak~" The rabbit seemed to have been greatly wronged, and hurriedly jumped into the man's arms.
"Junior Gu Fan, I have seen my seniors. Gu Fan hurriedly stood up and saluted, this man definitely didn't look like an ordinary person.
I didn't even feel him come near until he spoke. Yue Lao said in a deep voice, it stands to reason that even if he is a strong martial emperor, he can easily detect it.
But just now, apart from feeling that there were trees nearby, he didn't even notice that there was another person.
"No, no, it's certainly not that simple. Yue Lao said to himself, the person who can make himself undetectable must have used a special method.
But looking at this forest, it shouldn't be a formation, what's going on?
"Don't be inhibited. The man laughed and touched the rabbit in his arms.
"The juniors thought that this was just an ordinary rabbit, and they were offended a lot just now, so they asked the seniors to forgive me. Gu Fan arched his hand and said, in case the other party avenges his rabbit, he will be too wronged.
"It's okay, he's just too naughty. The man said with a smile and put the rabbit in his arms down.
"Go and go, play by yourself. ”
After laughing and watching the rabbit run away, the man slowly walked over.
"My name is Jiutian, just call me Brother Jiu. The middle-aged man smiled, looking very enthusiastic.
"Brother Jiu. Gu Fan is not a hypocritical person, so he hurriedly said.
"It's been a few years when no one has been here. Jiutian said, walking towards the depths of the oasis.
"Come, I'll show you the land of hope in the desert. ”
A place of hope?
Gu Fan was confused, but he had to hurry up.
"I can't see through this person, you be careful. Yue Lao said cautiously.
"Well, it doesn't look like someone else has other intentions. Gu Fan replied, and it seemed that Brother Jiu was very familiar with this place.
"Anyway, you pay attention, if there is any danger, I will come out to help you. Yue Lao said lightly, and stopped talking.
Help me, I believe you're a ghost!
That's what you said before you entered the Gogu Desert, but didn't you still watch yourself being chased by man-eating insects?
"Well, isn't there a lot of plants here. Jiu Tian introduced them one by one, which opened Gu Fan's eyes, the plants here were different from the ones he had ever seen.
"This is a tall fruit tree, and the fruit grows in relatively tall places, but each fruit stores a lot of water in it, which can sometimes have a life-saving effect. ”
"This is a hubu tree, the trunk can be eaten, although the taste is average, but the taste is still good. ”
"It's called poisonous fern root, and the smell it gives off has a natural repelling effect on man-eating insects. ”
“......”
Jiu Tian introduced them one by one, which opened Gu Fan's eyes, no wonder this is called the land of hope, and the people who can come here definitely see the hope of surviving in the desert.
"Hey, how's that. Jiu Tian said proudly, no one has come for so long, this is not easy to come, he has to show off.
"The seniors are too powerful. Gu Fan praised, of course these things can't be grown here, otherwise they would have been eaten by those man-eating insects.
This man, Jiutian, must have put in a great effort for this oasis.
"Haha, you kid still has some eyesight. Jiu Tian was very happy to hear Gu Fan's words and laughed.
"Keep your eyes open, and the next thing you see is the real hope in the desert. Jiu Tian took Gu Fan to a scene of green barrier and said mysteriously.
"It's the formation, separating the inside from here. Yue Lao saw through this thing at a glance.
"Hmm. Gu Fan nodded secretly, he also noticed a trace of something wrong.
After all, such a large oasis must have the support of a lake, and it must be in it.
"Look!" Jiu Tian waved his hands, and the green barrier opened a door, and a huge lake appeared in front of Gu Fan's eyes.
Various animals drink water and frolic around the lake, and there are even a few swans on the lake. Although the race is different, there is not the slightest noise.
"Miracle. Gu Fan and Yue Lao sighed together, this is the first time they have seen such a scene, no wonder it is called the Land of Hope, this is not only the hope of humans, but also the hope of these animals.
"I'm afraid there is no other place on the continent except me. Jiutian smiled proudly, but there was a hint of sparkle in his eyes.
