Chapter 149: Night Water Demon Dragon
"We're afraid we'll have to stay here for a long time, but we don't have enough food and water, and there's a place in the desert called an oasis. Finding the oasis would at least guarantee that we will survive. Zhan Hongyue said.
"But even if we find an oasis, we still can't get out of this desert labyrinth. Song Shilin was still puzzled.
"Not necessarily, the oasis is the hope in the desert, maybe-" Zhan Hongyue paused before saying, "The key to breaking this maze is there." ”
"Maze?"
"Yes, this desert labyrinth is a maze, what we have to do is not to go out, but to find the key to breaking the formation-"
"What is the Array Eye?" Jun Wunian asked.
"I don't know, a flower, a tree, a grain of dust are possible. ”
"Then we-"
"Yes—it can only depend on luck—" Zhan Hongyue's voice was a little helpless, but it was chic.
Jun Wunian stopped talking, Lan Sheng had been walking quietly, she didn't seem to think about whether the formation could be broken, whether they could go out.
Lan Sheng just walked, and for some reason, she seemed to hope that this road would never have an end.
Shi Zhuoye's sense of presence has always been very low since he mixed into casual cultivation, and the arrogant temperament he exudes from his body is also unapproachable. However, Shi Zhuoye's strength is not low, even Zhan Hongyue vaguely feels the hidden strength of Shi Zhuoye.
According to Zhan Hongyue's statement, the group walked for nearly half a day before they saw an oasis. The oasis is not big, but it is not small, Jun Wunian roughly estimated that it should be about half the size of a small village.
Everyone set up tents in the oasis and went to the lake to fetch water. Although water elemental mages can provide water, they are still very different from pure natural water sources.
There are a lot of date palms growing in the oasis, and the dates on the trees are bunched into a dark orange-yellow color, with thick flesh and a good taste.
Jun Wunian also found fish in the lake, and a group of people hurriedly rushed to catch fish in the water, and what surprised Jun Wunian the most was the loose cultivator named Ye Xu, who was extremely skilled in catching fish, and seemed to have practiced countless times.
Jun Wunian silently approached Shi Zhuoye, who also went into the water to catch fish, and while others were not paying attention, he lowered his voice and secretly asked, "Zhuoye, who is that Ye Xu?"
"Wood Elemental Mage, Ye Xu, Auxiliary Class, Rank 60. Shi Zhuoye said briefly.
"Where did it come from?"
"It is said that he is a mage from an ordinary family in Huangsha City, because there is a sick father in the family, so he responded to the escort mission of the Song family, and also exchanged it for the medicine money of the sick old father. ”
"Hmm-" Jun Wunian nodded and didn't speak again.
The two naturally separated, each went to catch fish, as if they didn't know each other, and even Zhan Hongyue, who was observing everyone's performance on the shore, didn't find anything abnormal.
Night is falling.
A bone-chilling coldness rose from under Jun Wunian's feet, and Jun Wunian couldn't help but tremble.
I saw that the three mages of the Song family picked up some branches from all over the place, and as soon as the fire element on Zhan Hongyue's finger ignited, a simple fire was raised.
Everyone gathered around the fire to make a fire and grill fish, eat flatbread and fruit, and replenish their strength.
Jun Wunian turned his head to look at Lan Sheng, who was sitting under the tree a little further from the fire. Lan Sheng likes to be quiet, he doesn't like to stay in crowded places, and Youyou also likes to stay with Lan Sheng, so as early as a few hours ago, Youyou had secretly slipped into Lan Sheng's pocket.
Jun Wunian gave Chen Yixiao a look, Chen Yixiao nodded, and sent the grilled fish and dates to Lan Sheng.
After simply eating something, Jun Wunian leaned against the tree and closed his eyes to recuperate. After closing his eyes, the rest of the person's four senses became clearer, Jun Wunian vaguely heard something, he opened his eyes, and his gaze was bright.
The others had already fallen asleep, and Jun Wunian stood up gently, wanting to see where the sound came from. As soon as they moved, Zhan Hongyue and Shi Zhuoye opened their eyes at the same time.
Zhan Hongyue looked at Jun Wunian's actions, with doubts and vigilance in her eyes, while Shi Zhuoye breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head and made eye contact with Jun Wunian, as if asking Jun Wunian what was going on.
Zhan Hongyue is a senior mercenary with a high level of vigilance, and she also found that Shi Zhuoye's alertness is more than ordinary people, so she can't help but take a second look at Shi Zhuoye.
Jun Wunian stood up calmly and walked gently towards the lake. Zhan Hongyue hesitated slightly, then stood up and walked in the direction Jun Wunian was walking.
Shi Zhuoye was not worried about Jun Wunian, for fear that Zhan Hongyue would hurt Jun Wunian, so he also followed.
The three of them walked to the lake, and the strange sound became clearer and clearer.
Jun Wunian released his spiritual power and sensed the sound coming from the lake. A whirlpool swirls in the middle of the lake, as if something is brewing.
"How could a whirlpool suddenly rise in this lake, which is obviously not there during the day. Zhan Hongyue muttered to herself.
"There's something underwater—" Shi Zhuoye suddenly spoke, his voice cold, as if he remembered some bad memories.
"What is it?" Jun Wunian spoke.
"The whirlpool on the surface of the water in the dark night is because something has awakened under the water, there is a kind of demon beast, or a demonic beast, which has both the dark and earth and water systems, which are dormant during the day and wake up at night, named-" Shi Zhuoye suddenly stopped halfway through his words, and his palm instantly turned into a dragon claw.
"Dragon ascends to heaven—" Shi Zhuoye instantly struck out, striking towards the black shadow that suddenly appeared in the lake.
"This is—the Night Water Demon Dragon—" Zhan Hongyue exclaimed.
Jun Wunian remembered the information of this demon beast. The Night Water Demon Dragon is a snake with dragon blood, and it is a mid-level demonic beast, and its strength is far superior to that of ordinary middle-level demonic beasts, and it is close to high-level demonic beasts.
"Be careful—" Shi Zhuoye struck again, blocking the Night Water Demon Dragon's attack for Jun Wunian, but he himself was beaten back several steps.
Zhan Hongyue struck, the power of the fire element was strong, and the firelight illuminated the dark lake. Jun Wunian finally saw the true face of the Night Water Demon Dragon.
The big eyes of the Night Water Demon Dragon's bowl glowed with blood-red light, which was even more permeable in the light of the fire.
"Wait-" Jun Wunian seemed to remember something, and hurriedly stopped Zhan Hongyue's attack-
"Huh?" Zhan Hongyue looked back at Jun Wunian with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Night Water Demon Dragon, immune to fire and earth skills. Captain, your attacks are ineffective against the Night Water Demon Dragon—" Jun Wunian said quickly.
Zhan Hongyue was stunned for a moment, and even the stone burning night on one side was half a beat slower to attack.
According to the mage's cultivation, the strength of the Night Water Demon Dragon is at least equivalent to the strength of a mage above the 70th order, and no one here is sure that he can defeat the Night Water Demon Dragon except for Zhan Hongyue. The Night Water Demon Dragon is immune to fire attributes, but I'm afraid-
