Chapter Ninety-Two: A Desert Oasis

Walking in the vast desert desert, there is silence, as if there are only two people left in the world, and there is also the illusion that you will never be able to leave this desert.

The loneliness that arises from facing the barrenness and monotony for a long time is like countless ants gnawing on the body, not painful but itchy. The first one who couldn't stand it was the spirit beast Qiji, who had been eating hay for the past few days, and its originally shiny dark green fur had dimmed a lot. Whether on the way or on the way to rest, Qiji will go to make trouble with the big camels in the same company whenever he has the opportunity. Helplessly, no matter how it teases the other party, it will be treated coldly, this relationship is like before it and the gale, but the position has changed.

The camel is a large creature that probably eats all the food used to grow fat, and then there is a silent long journey, a silent rest. It is precisely these personalities that make it suitable for the desert. Faced with the spirit beasts circling around him, Mr. Camel calmly ignored it. The spirit beast Qiji finally gave up due to poor communication.

Helian Xiaojiang was still haunted by what had happened before. If Ren Yi hadn't done something too inauthentic, she might have relented and stayed. But the blue wolf will definitely not agree to continue to waste time. On the other hand, during the melee, those soldiers blindly only attacked the blue wolf, and did not be despicable enough to threaten themselves as hostages. Isn't this another kind of righteousness? Ren Yi's essence is not bad...... In the sand flying away from the sky, Lian Xiaojiang has time to think about it over and over again.

The journey of not knowing the purpose and time is long, and it is only blindly going in the general direction that Ren Zhong points to. And because they didn't know how long it would take, the two tried to save food and water as much as possible.

On the fortieth day, the great camel silently led them both to an oasis. The oasis that appears in the desert is as exhilarating and surprising as the sudden appearance of an isolated island in the middle of the ocean. When she caught a glimpse of green from afar, Helian Xiaojiang still didn't believe it, she was more inclined to be a mirage of a mirage.

As we got closer, the wind blew the scent of the endemic plants and earth of the trees. Eyes can deceive people, but the sense of smell can't deceive people, it's really a desert oasis!! If it weren't for the lack of water intake, Helian Xiaojiang would have burst into tears when he was excited.

Qi Ji excitedly opened her four long legs and accelerated to run, and under the action of inertia, Helian Xiaojiang leaned back violently, and she hurriedly grabbed the reins firmly with her hands so that she was not thrown out. The big camel kept pace unchanged, calmly carrying the blue wolf to keep up.

This oasis seems to be quite large, and when you enter it, you will go straight through the trees, and there is a lake hidden in the depths of the oasis. The surface of the lake is calm and wide, and the water is crystal clear.

"Blue wolf, water, lake water. Helian Xiaojiang was so excited that he couldn't say a complete sentence, word by word. This beautiful and precious lake is surrounded by green trees, no matter how turbulent the sand and rocks fly outside, it is quiet in place, and there is not a single fold on the surface of the lake. The lake is like a giant mirror embedded here. In this comparison, the source of the oasis water encountered earlier is nothing more than a Javanese land, a small puddle.

The camel walked slowly to the edge of the lake and stopped, its two hind hooves bent first and then its two front legs, and after its four hooves were pressed under its huge body, it stretched its neck and began to drink. The blue wolf jumped off the camel's back and was attacked by Helian Xiaojiang, splashing his face with water. Cool droplets of water stick to cracked skin and are quickly absorbed into it.

In front, Helian Xiaojiang squatted by the lake with his two hands brushing his hair above his head, and his buttocks were facing up, almost plunging his entire head into the water. The blue wolf came over and drank three basins of water in a row to quench his thirst, first quenching his body's thirst, and then carefully wiping his baby's ice release knife. No matter how thirsty she is, the stomach capacity is limited, Helian Xiaojiang touched her bulging belly and burped with satisfaction, and then she followed the example of the blue wolf and wiped her short dagger.

Having drunk his fill of water, the wolf got up and busily filled all the water bags. Helian Xiaojiang lay on the grass in a big shape to enjoy, the scorching sunlight was blocked by the leaves, and the irregularity of the wind in the desert shrank into a cool breeze after being blocked by vegetation and trees. Coupled with the coolness brought by the lake water, it is refreshing.

Helian Xiaojiang didn't move, and Qi Ji lay beside her near the water source and was not ready to move for a short time.

"Don't run around here, I'll take a look. The blue wolf said.

Helian Xiaojiang pulled two leaves and put them on one left and one right eye, and waved his hand to indicate that he knew.

Walking around the lake is not in a hurry. Whether it is visually or measured by footsteps, the lake in front of you is indeed large, almost comparable to ordinary inland lakes. In the clear water, you can see the fish swimming on their own. The trees of the oasis also benefit from the nourishment of the lake and grow well, although their species are slightly single. Nearly a third of the way around the shore of the lake, the wolf suddenly had a blow to his head with something.

When I looked up, I saw a full circle of round and plump fruits hanging from the branches, each of which seemed to ripen to the point of crumbling. The blue wolf unconsciously entered an orchard full of fruit trees, and carefully identified and determined that it was an ordinary edible fruit, so he unceremoniously reached out and picked one to taste first, yes, the water is fleshy and sweet, and it is very delicious. So the blue wolf picked several more and held them in his arms, ready to give them to Helian Xiaojiang and Qiji to taste.

Walking through the orchard, the wolf continued to walk, and the beautiful scenery in front of him was almost forgetful, and it was actually just a small oasis in the desert. As he walked, the wolf kicked into an obstacle, and when he looked down, he saw a barrel that had overturned on its side and rolled away with his kick. The blue wolf stopped and stood still, his sword eyebrows furrowed and his face was stern, staring at the barrel as if he was about to stare at a flower on it.

It is a very common wooden barrel for water, half-new, with a thick rope tied to the handle of the barrel that can be tied to the flat pole.

Buckets are common, but the sudden appearance of everyday human objects in places that should be uninhabited is creepy to think about. The fruit in his arms became heavy, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and the dense orchard he had walked through at that time was now full of doubts when he looked back. Not to mention the various fruit trees that grow together, each fruit that bears is large and brightly colored, and it is clear that it is not wild but has been carefully watered and fertilized.

It is too reckless to arbitrarily judge that it is a no-man's land because you are in the desert, and the deeper you go, the more obvious the clues to human existence, and it is already certain.

Realizing the above situation, the first thought of the blue wolf was to rush back to Helian Xiaojiang's side, and he was just about to turn around, and the voice came from the tall grass bushes on his left. The blue wolf decisively threw away the fruit in his hand and raised the shiny ice release knife that he had just wiped.
