Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Desert Oasis
"After my analysis, the sand in the front area is gradually getting wetter, and if the prediction is good, I will definitely be able to find a water source before dark, a water source that can be drunk." Xiao Yuan clenched his fists confidently, a trace of joy bloomed on his face, and he also stepped up his steps, changing it to twenty steps and one squat, grabbing the yellow sand under his feet and smelling the humidity in it.
When Li Ling heard Xiao Yuan's analysis and prediction so sure, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a big stone fell. In this desert, as long as you can find groundwater and drink water, you can last for ten days and half a month.
"Uncle Xiao, are you thirsty? You've been looking for water, it must be hard, I'll give you a drink. Li Ling carried the quiet on his back, walked to Xiao Yuan's side, pushed Xiao Yuan's shoulder, and took out a water bag to signal.
Since leaving Gulou Lan City, Li Ling has not drunk a drop of water, and all the water has been left for Tranquility and Xiao Yuan.
After studying the humidity of the sand in his hand for a while, Xiao Yuan slowly stood up, turned around and waved his hand at Li Ling and said: "No need, I can still hold on, I'd better hurry up and find water, after my estimation and speculation for so long, I have made a new discovery, I think within ten to twenty miles, there will be a vast oasis." As long as you find an oasis, water and food are not a problem. ”
"Uncle Xiao, if your guess is true? Then we are all saved. Li Ling's eyes lit up, and he slowly withdrew the water bag, feeling for the first time that this was great news.
"Well, it's true, the humidity of the sand here is noticeably heavier, and, as long as we go in the right direction, we will definitely reach the oasis, I am absolutely sure." Xiao Yuan happily held a pile of sand and smiled confidently.
Xiao Yuan's words suddenly lightened the heaviness in everyone's hearts a lot, and the haze in their hearts in the past few days finally dissipated.
"That's great." Silence also smiled brightly, as if half rejuvenated.
Under the setting sun, the afterglow of the sun, which almost touches the horizon, shines on the yellow sand of this desert, which looks unusually golden and bright, and in front of it is like piling up one golden sand dune after another.
After another hour of walking, unconsciously, the air gradually became moist, even the nose was not very quiet, and I felt the long-lost humidity in the air.
It's the humidity of the water!
"Look, there's a big oasis ahead." Xiao Yuan held the sand, laughed loudly, sprinkled the sand in the air, shouted and waved his arms, pointed to a green oasis not far ahead, and danced with his hands.
That huge oasis is like a life-saving green leaf in the endless desert, it is so beautiful and fascinating.
Li Ling raised his eyes to look at the green hinterland, and with his own eyesight, he could clearly see that in that green hinterland, there was a clear and turquoise lake with almost 100,000 square meters, that is, because of this lake produced by groundwater, this area was nourished into a vibrant world in the world of death.
"It's heavenly!" Li Ling said with emotion.
The indescribable joy in the hearts of the four of them was only because for seven days, the four of them had traveled in the world where only the yellow sand had piled up, and thirst and fear filled everyone's hearts, but they did not see a trace of hope, and at this moment, seeing the oasis was like grasping the rope to a beautiful paradise.
"Let me go, I'm going to walk towards the oasis step by step, to hope." Quiet's eyes are almost bent into a crescent arc when he smiles, which shows how happy Quiet is.
Among the four people, only Mandala can't feel this kind of happiness, she is a different race, and she has been connected to the DNA of the arm of the gods, so she herself does not need to eat food and water, and can survive for a long time, so she is extremely indifferent to the appearance of the oasis, and I don't know why everyone is so happy.
Li Ling slowly squatted down, quietly got down from Li Ling's back, held Li Ling's arm, and limped towards the oasis.
"Commander! Now there is a question before us. Mandala walked to Li Ling's side when everyone was very happy, and looked at the two figures behind him.
"Well, I understand that I won't give them a chance to go to the oasis to replenish food and water! The people who once embarrassed us so much, I won't make them happy. Li Ling smiled with a hint of coldness.
"Why can't I see anything, are the people you see who stole our camels?" Quiet stopped and looked back, but according to Quiet and Xiao Yuan's vision, he couldn't see clearly that there was someone behind him.
After all, Li Ling and Mandala, one is a master who has cultivated the twelfth order of the supreme heart method of martial arts, the Jade Void Returning Qi, to the 'god level' of the human realm, and the other is a different race implanted with the DNA of the god's arm, and the vision power of both of them is more than ten times or even dozens of times that of ordinary people.
"Yes! I think they didn't just steal the camels, but they wanted to fight us before we reached the oasis, because they didn't want us to get enough water and regain our strength when we arrived at the oasis. Li Ling calmly analyzed lightly.
"Mandala, give me all your hydration bags." Li Ling smiled and stretched out his hand to the mandala.
"Yes, Commander." Mandala took off the three water bags tied to her body and handed them over to Li Ling's hands, Li Ling weighed it, they were all very light, obviously she drank all the water quietly, as for Mandala, she didn't drink water, she could still live.
Li Ling took out two more water bags from his body, added half a bag of beef jerky, put them together, and walked towards Xiao Yuan.
"Uncle Xiao, you keep these empty water bags and half a bag of beef jerky first, and I will go with Mandala to cook them, and the two followers in the back." Li Ling handed over five water bags and half a bag of beef jerky to Xiao Yuan.
"It's good." Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and took everything.
"Go to the oasis with silence first, and we'll be there later." Li Ling said to Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan sighed slightly, knowing that his strength was meager, and he couldn't help here, but would make up for trouble, so he had to come over to help Jingjing, quietly glanced back at Li Ling, and bowed his head slightly: "You...... You must come and meet us. ”
"Don't worry, I will." Li Ling touched his quiet head and said with a slight smile.
Quiet also smiled slightly.
"Let's go, the oasis is ahead, remember to catch more fish and shrimp in the lake or something, we'll wait for a big meal later?" Li Ling pointed to the oasis in the distance and said with a smile.
"No problem, Brother Li Ling and Sister Mandala, when we return from victory, we will treat the two warriors well." Xiao Yuan and Li Ling high-fived as an alliance, and at this time, the sunset completely set.
With that, Xiao Yuan walked towards the oasis with Tranquility, and Li Ling and Mandala walked towards the two stalkers.
