Chapter 8: Desert Illusion
Under the scorching sun, Mo Yu looked directly at Zixi, who had little serious expression, and frowned. Judging from Zixi's expression www.biquge.info the news she was going to tell herself didn't seem to be good news.
"Hmm......" Mo Yu turned around and glanced at the desert at the same time, but there was nothing but endless yellow sand, not even a place to shade.
Zixi wiped the sweat left on his forehead with his jade hand, and asked cautiously, "Mo Yu, is there anyone in your family...... Not with you? ”
Mo Yu was silent for a long time, Zixi saw this, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "I just ask, if I say the wrong ......" "If there is a disagreement, you can continue." Mo Yu didn't let Zixi continue to misunderstand, and immediately said seriously. It seems that Zixi seems to know something very important!
Zixi let out a soft "oh" and continued, "That time...... You...... When Daddy came to look for you and was about to leave, I heard that some of the people he brought with him seemed to want to take advantage of this incident to ...... you Clean sweep. Of course, I just guessed that, and it wasn't entirely correct, and it could be that I misheard. Seeing Mo Yu's face becoming more and more ugly, Zixi was a little flustered.
Mo Yu covered his face with his hand and said to himself, "Oops......"
Zixi lowered his head in shame and said, "I wanted to tell you half a month ago, but ...... I accidentally forgot. If it weren't for the fact that I met the guy who said those words when I went to see you, I wouldn't have remembered it at all......"
"What?" Mo Yu was stunned and looked at Zixi in astonishment. Zixi lowered his head listlessly, tucked his fingers, and said: "It was when I finished packing up the dry food and went to look for you, I met an old man, although I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could recognize the smell of his body, it was one of the people who came with your father that time!" ”
"Well, if only you had told me earlier." Mo Yu looked up to the sky and sighed. "Right...... I'm sorry, I didn't know this was so important, I always thought it was a delusion, and...... I forgot. Zixi's voice became lower and lower, and he said aggrievedly.
Mo Yu sighed, reached out and touched Zixi's head, and said with a forced smile: "Okay, you have helped a lot, I don't blame you for this matter, after all, you don't know anything about my family." Well, it's important for us to solve the problem at hand. ”
Zixi nodded slightly, but the bitterness on her face still didn't dissipate much. Mo Yu reluctantly took out a bottle of water from the storage ring, handed it to Zixi, and said, "You are more likely to be short of water, come to ......" "However, we have only been in for a long time......" Zixi's face was already a little pale, but he still insisted. This time the preparation was a bit hasty, and they didn't know that they would be sent to such a ghost place, and the preparation of water sources was a little insufficient, so the water resources were particularly scarce, and they had just been teleported here for a short time, and they had to use the resources that were already in short supply......
"I'm sorry......" Zixi's face turned pale, and he took the water handed by Mo Yu with some distraction. Mo Yu smiled knowingly and said, "What are you sorry for, if it weren't for you, I guess I wouldn't have bothered to prepare these, who would have known that that group of old immortals would actually teleport me to this place." Since I have food in stock, it is still possible to go out, which is much better than if I came alone. Zixi pursed her lips and smiled, but immediately covered her face with her hands again. Mo Yu touched Zixi's head again and said, "If you want to laugh, just laugh, you look good when you laugh." "Not really...... I'm just ...... Didn't laugh at it! Zixi's cheeks were red and he quibbled.
Mo Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Okay, drink some water, don't faint, otherwise it will be very difficult for me to carry you on such a hot day." "Hmph, I'm not going to do what you're going to do!" Zixi dragged out his tone and said proudly, it seems that he had just learned it when he was fighting a war of words with the president of the Xihuang Mercenary Society.
Looking at this cute little cat girl, Mo Yu's heart is still warm, I'm really glad I saved her half a month ago......
"Let's go, let's find out if there is an oasis, with our water source, I'm afraid it won't last long, and if we want to get out of this desert, we don't know if we have to go to the Year of the Monkey." Mo Yu said to Zixi, who nodded. After the two stood stupidly in place for a while, Zixi looked at Mo Yu curiously, Mo Yu laughed dryly, and said, "You go first, go in that direction casually, I'll follow." "Where are you going?" Zixi asked with some apprehension. Mo Yu was stunned and said, "I've been following you all the time, could it be that I didn't make it clear just now?" ”
"......" Zixi's expression was a little strange, and then he turned around and walked straight forward. Mo Yu followed behind Zixi inch by inch, and the position she walked was always where the sun was shining directly, and her own shadow just helped her cover the sun - I hope this will make her cooler......
……
Seven days later......
On the endless desert, Mo Yu and Zixi were soaked in sweat, and the heat constantly stimulated their nerves, but they still insisted on moving forward step by step.
"It's been a week, damn it, it looks like we're completely trapped here......" Looking at the sand around him that seemed to be exactly the same as when he just came in, Mo Yu struggled to wipe the dense sweat on his forehead, and said. Zixi's face was not very good-looking, but it was much better than Mo Yu, she stroked her long white hair wet with sweat, glanced around, and guessed: "I'm afraid we are trapped, may it be a mirage?" "She hadn't really lived in the desert, so she didn't know anything about the desert.
"No way, the condition for the mirage to appear is to have an oasis, and we have ...... I've been trapped for half a month, I'm afraid...... Not. Mo Yu originally thought of something, but the heat made his body as if there were thousands of ants crawling over, which was extremely uncomfortable. What's more, the water they brought was completely gone, and he had a dry mouth, and with the long sun exposure, he could no longer accept it, so the dizziness in his mind hit him, and he fell down inexplicably.
"Mo Yu!" Zixi heard the sound of falling to the ground behind him, turned his head to look, and saw Mo Yu who was unconscious on the ground, startled, hurriedly walked to his side, reached out and touched his cheek.
"It's hot!" As soon as Zixi touched Mo Yu's cheek, his hand immediately retracted. The scorching sun shone on Zixi's face, and the high temperature reached Zixi's face. Looking at Mo Yu, whose face was pale, Zixi couldn't help but burst into tears-it turned out that he had been using himself as a parasol, so he would last longer than him...... He blocked all the sunlight!
"Shui ......" Mo Yu, who was no longer conscious, suddenly muttered. Zixi immediately took out the storage ring and rummaged through it, hoping that a water source would miraculously appear inside.
However, they have already drunk the water, how can it be that there will be water out of thin air? Looking at Mo Yu with a painful expression, Zixi was extremely painful, but ...... She only now felt how high the temperature was—it was already a fiery purgatory!
When such a high temperature completely descended on her, Zixi realized how much unbearable pain Mo Yu had endured for her.
The tears were low, but before they could fall on the yellow sand, they vaporized into water vapor. What to do...... If this continues, he will die of lack of water......
Desperate...... Do you really want to watch him die...... No! How can it be! He saved himself and freed himself from the sea of suffering, and now because he is suffering from heat stroke, how can he let him die!
Zixi gradually withdrew the despair and loss on his face, and after glancing at Mo Yu's face slowly, he leaned towards his arm again-the water source was gone, if you didn't want to save him at all costs......
On the wrist of his right hand, a white feather suddenly lit up with a purple light, and then the feather transformed into a feather sword made of feathers. Zixi calmly stretched out his left hand, and the blade of the feather sword rested vertically on his wrist. Just doing this, you can only save him for a short time......
A little bit of a moment...... What about sacrificing one's own life for his sake?
Without hesitation, a sword slashed, and blood gushed out...... Zixi's face was pale, but he still insisted on controlling the flow of blood, dripping into Mo Yu's mouth drop by drop......
……
I don't know how long it took, Zixi finally couldn't hold back the dizziness in his mind and fell to the side......
Clearly...... Still want to ...... A little more help......
……
"Hmm......" Not long after, Mo Yu felt the moist and bloody taste in his mouth, and slowly opened his eyes, and then, what caught his eye was Zixi's unwilling face.
"Zixi?!" Mo Yu hurriedly sat up, hugged Zixi, who was unconscious, into his arms, and checked it for her at the same time, only to find the shocking sword mark on her left hand.
Mo Yu froze in place, he reached out and wiped the corners of his mouth, and bright red blood appeared on his hand.
She...... It's saving your life......
Mo Yu trembled, the storage ring had appeared in his hand for some time, and Mo Yu anxiously flipped through the things stored in that space.
"Zixi, hold on, wait for me for a while......" Mo Yu had never been in such a hurry as he was now, and after a while, several pills appeared in his hands. Then, he carefully fed Zixi these pills, and then probed Zixi's pulse a little......
"Damn, if you don't get out quickly, Zixi may be ......" Mo Yu looked at Zixi's beautiful face, and held her hand a little tighter unconsciously.
"Why, you have to do ......this for me," Mo Yu muttered, and then, he looked coldly at the sky—the sun that shone but wasn't dazzling!
In the past few days, they have been walking in the same place, and the position of the sun in the sky has never changed, not even night!
If it weren't for Zixi mentioning the mirage, he wouldn't have thought of it at all!
The purple magic array was condensed in front of Mo Yu's body, Mo Yu's face was indifferent, looking at the sun in the sky, with a finger of his right hand, a huge ice pick flew out directly, and passed through the seemingly unreachable scorching sun!
The surrounding scene has changed, slowly becoming illusory, and the heat has disappeared. Mo Yu hugged Zixi and looked at the latter's Chu Chu moving face, his eyes became gentle......
