Chapter 392: Desert Center
"Ah~ah~ So, in the end, not only will we not bypass that place, but we will drive straight in..."Sanji scratched his head with some distress.
"I can't stand Luffy you. ”
"Haha, what's the matter!"
"Indeed... We don't have a lot of time, so if we walk in a straight line, it will be much faster. Even Wei Wei nodded, and then Xia Shanzhi finally had no opinion, and followed everyone silently in the direction marked with red dots on the map.
"It's just, it's okay to see it!" Luffy grinned and kneading his shoulders.
"I hope I don't really meet that guy," Kirby muttered as he muttered as he kept the shadow of the giant octopus in his mind.
"What did you say, Kirby?"
"Well... I guess I'm thinking too much. Kirby smiled at Nami and took the latter's hand.
...
There is never a shortage of wind and sand in the desert, and sandstorms also pass through from time to time, but under Kebi's early warning, everyone has survived this journey without danger.
The sun was still hot in the sky, but the shadow of the building could already be faintly seen in front of her, so Nami took out the map again and confirmed that this was the red area marked on the map.
Now everyone is halfway through the journey to Juba, and it can be said that they are in the middle of the desert, but Kirby's keen elemental sensing ability tells her that there seems to be a large amount of water elemental gathering in front of her, I don't know if it is an illusion, but as far as the eye can see at the moment, there seems to be no shadow of water in front of her.
"Let's go, let's see. ”
It is worth mentioning that because Kirby wants to exercise his body's reaction speed and endurance, since he entered the desert, Kirby has not flown up, nor has he used his mental strength to lift things, even if he is sweating now, Kirby does not have the slightest idea of using magic to dry his body.
Magicians need to be close to nature, not only at the soul level, the body is sometimes more important than the soul, and personally feeling the heat from nature is also one of the ways for fire magicians to cultivate, but most magicians disdain to do so.
Before you know it, everyone has come to the outside of the quaint complex, and from the outside to the inside, it really looks like some kind of ancient mysterious ruins, and the overgrown bushes make people dare not go deeper, and judging from the cracks in the wall, this place should be at least a thousand years old.
"Look, it looks like some kind of quaint text. Hearing Nami's scream, Kirby turned around and found the girl crouching next to a weed, pointing to a broken stone slab.
"Indeed..."Kirby frowned and looked at the slate, and found that even she couldn't understand the font on it, although in terms of age, Kirby already belonged to the "old monster" level of characters, but whether the historical fault in the middle space had derived new words, Kirby had no way of knowing, at least, the font on the broken slate, she didn't recognize.
"I don't understand..."Abis frowned, and involuntarily shook Kebi's hand, and the originally hot weather was suddenly relieved by Abis's cold little hand.
"Kirby, you didn't open the barrier?" Abis glanced at Kirby in surprise.
"Well..."Kebi was so hot that he couldn't even sweat, and he stuck out his tongue and nodded, looking unexpectedly cute.
"Can't even Ablis understand it?"
"Well, I've never seen the words..."
"Saza, let's hurry up and get in! we can save a long way!" Luffy happily rushed into the complex, and after a while, there was no shadow in the sky through the branches and leaves.
Everyone shook their heads helplessly, so they had to follow.
The further you go, the denser the plants on the ground become, at first the soles of your feet are still sandy, but I don't know when the ground under your feet has become wet and soft, and then walking a distance of about a few hundred meters, it is like stepping into a tropical jungle, if it is not for the scorching sun above your head, everyone can't believe that they are now in the very center of the desert.
"This..."Wei Wei was stunned and plucked a large plantain-like leaf from the bushes on the side, put it in her hand and rubbed it for a while, and the green branches and leaves seeped out of the leaves.
"I've never been to a place like this before, this place must have appeared in the past few years..."
"It's so weird here, there's a tropical jungle in the middle of the desert, and there's not even a grain of sand to be seen. ”
"But we're really in the middle of the desert, and I can smell the wind and sand in the air. Chopper snorted.
"But... This also... This also... It's incredible. Usopp still couldn't come back to his senses, and the landscape was so smooth that by the time everyone reacted, he was already in the middle of a tropical jungle.
"Anyway, you have to get your bearings right first. Wei Wei was still reliable, and as soon as she came back to her senses, the girl immediately raised her head to confirm the direction, "It should be in the afternoon now, if you look at the direction of the sun..."
"Over there. ”
Vivi pointed in the direction of the depths of the jungle with one hand, and everyone followed without hesitation.
"What about Luffy?"
"Who knows, I'll be back in a while, even if he gets into trouble, that guy will definitely scream louder than anyone else. ”
"Oh..."
...
On the other side, Luffy.
"Uh-huh-ah!!"
"It's amazing!
Luffy jumped up and down in the jungle like a monkey, and after a while, he had left everyone far behind, the temperature in the jungle was still very high, and he could even see a lot of water vapor evaporating in the air, the forest was white, and he couldn't see the situation too far away, Luffy had only run a distance and was completely disoriented, but... This guy has never had a sense of direction, nor does he look a little flustered, a big bounce flew over the bushes, and he bounced upwards with both hands on the branches.
Sou!
Luffy popped out of the jungle and reached the top of the rainforest, and when viewed from above, almost a ten-mile radius here was covered in jungle, and there was no edge in sight.
"Uh-huh-ho-ho-ho-ho!!"
Luffy raised his hand with bright eyes, but unfortunately he couldn't fly, so he was suspended in the air for about a second before falling down, and replanted into the jungle.
"Oops, a
Luffy, who had eaten a mouth full of leaves, spat again and again, and was about to stand up and pat the mud on his buttocks, when countless spears had reached out in front of him!
"Bah!"
In front of them, all of them were people wrapped in trench coats, led by a small man, all of whom were holding spears in their hands, and everyone except the leader was wearing a mask.
Although Luffy is not afraid of muskets, he is only afraid of sharp weapons, and he was pressed against his head by so many spears at once, so he naturally did not dare to act rashly, and just as Luffy struggled with his mouth and tried to communicate, he fell into darkness in front of him.
"Lord Ophelia, the psychedelics have taken effect. ”
"Well..."
...
