Chapter 47: Desert Fantasy

After a difficult trek, stormy sand and high temperatures, Zhou Ling and the four finally arrived near the Death Desert.

They stopped and looked into the distance, and saw that the Death Desert was not like a desert, only endless yellow sand,

It is said that thousands of years ago, there was a prosperous city called Mocheng, there was a mysterious foreign tribe rooted and multiplied here, they were intelligent and capable, diligent and hard-working, built a city wall that stretched the entire desert region here, coupled with the infinite natural strength, can catch countless monsters to unify the captivity, collect and plant a variety of rare medicinal materials, in the long history of more than 1,000 years, the tribal power continues to flourish, but none of the dynasties dare to confront head-on.

Until 600 years ago, the weather of the desert city changed dramatically, either the perverted high temperature or the torrent washed, the people of the tribe were constantly thirsty to death, drowned, with the passage of time and the accumulation of wind and sand, the huge desert city became a piece of depression, only the white bones of the forest witnessed that period of glory.

After the great change in Mocheng, the dynasties coveted those medicinal herbs, and they all sent personnel into Mocheng to search, but none of them came back alive. Since then, Mocheng has become what people call a desert of death.

At this moment, in the desert of death, countless unidentified objects like sand dunes are scattered sporadically, sometimes sand and dust are raised, thick fog is shrouded, and inexplicable voices are whistling in it, and the cold air that penetrates people's bones is born in the bleak scene, which is daunting.

"It's finally here, I'm going to die in the desert!" Jia Lan said, rubbing his eyes stained with dust and sand.

"Do you think that's heaven? it's hell!" Yu Wei said.

"Everyone be optimistic, after this area, it will not be far from the academy paradise!" Zhou Ling comforted.

Since the last time I set out from the Yelang border, after five days of difficult journey, I arrived here, several people were exhausted, but fortunately, Yu Wei, a disciple of the medicine shop, was here, and the pills distributed to everyone played just the right role, but there were not many pills left on his body.

The four of them continued to move forward hard to the desert area they saw, and finally arrived at the entrance of the desert, through the fog, they could vaguely see that there were rich plants and trees inside, dotted with colorful fragrances, and the ruins of the wall loomed, giving people the feeling of a fairyland.

"How is it different from what is described in the legend!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhou Ling's mind was full of doubts.

"I think this really feels like heaven!" Yu Wei said.

"After entering, everyone follows each other, don't run around alone!" Zhou Ling repeatedly explained to everyone.

At this point, everyone knew that there was no way back, so Zhou Ling and Yu Wei explored the road in front, and Jia Lan and Yun Tianhe followed carefully behind.

Stepping into the desert, everyone's first feeling is silence, deathly silence. Grassy and thorny, sand dunes of different sizes stand in the middle, as if they have condensed and formed, forming a unique scene of yellow and green. All four of them were very cautious, vigilantly observing their surroundings.

"Ahh

Jia Lan let out an abrupt exclamation, which made everyone's nerves tense instantly, and quickly surrounded Jia Lan's location. It turned out that he felt tripped over something while he was walking, and when he looked down, he was so frightened that he jumped on his legs, only to see that it was a skull that tripped on his feet, and the skull had been broken, and he could only roughly see the appearance of a skull.

Everyone looked down, they couldn't help but gasp, and when their eyes moved forward, they saw that there were white bones with stumps and broken arms everywhere on the ground, which made people feel creepy, and cold sweat broke out on the back of their heads.

"Zhou Ling, Brother Zhou, are you sure we should come here, or let's go out!" Jia Lan was shocked, his face turned pale with fright, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

"It's okay, isn't it just a dead man's bones, and it won't eat you!" Yun Tianhe was bold.

"These skeletons should be those gold diggers who came in and didn't go out!" Zhou Ling mused.

"It may also be the family of our family's medicine store!" Yu Wei said gloomily.

"Oh, don't say it, I'm scared to death!" Jia Lan hurriedly put his hands on his ears and said.

"What a girl!" Yun Tianhe pulled down, Jia Lan blocked his ears, pushed him with both hands, and continued to walk forward.

The more they go inside, the more vigorous and vigorous, and before they know it, the four of them have entered the depths of a bamboo forest, the birds chirp, the breeze shakes, and bursts of mist slowly emerge from the ground, and a few wisps of mist are like swimming snakes from the feet of the four people entwined up, and the whole body is enveloped in an instant.

The fog was getting bigger and bigger, and Zhou Ling could only see Yu Wei still on his side when he turned around, and Jialan and Yun Tianhe were completely out of sight.

"Jialan, Tianhe, where are you?"

Zhou Ling and Yu Wei immediately turned around and called, but no one responded after shouting for a long time.

"What should I do, I have a sense of foreboding!" Yu Wei said.

"Go back and find it!" Zhou Ling said decisively.

Yu Wei no longer hesitated when he heard this, the two of them walked back the way they came from in their memory, Zhou Ling was two steps behind him, and the two of them were nowhere to be seen, and they were both very cautious at the moment.

Half a moment later, Zhou Ling and Yu Wei found that they were lost, and they couldn't find the way they came after a few laps, and they were still in the bamboo forest.

"What the hell!"

Zhou Ling was so anxious that his head dizzy when he looked around, and he didn't know when Yu Wei disappeared from sight.

Although Zhou Ling knew that Yu Wei was gone, his heart was surprisingly calm, his mind was ethereal and clear, and he wanted to lie down like this at this moment to enjoy this tranquility.

"Child!

A familiar voice came, Zhou Ling looked back, it was his mother who came up the stairs, and that kind face made Zhou Ling burst into tears.

"Mother!"

Zhou Ling called excitedly, tears of longing gushing out.

"Ling'er, you've suffered!"

Xiao Qin said to him softly.

"Come, come to Mother!" Xiao Qin smiled and stretched out her hands to Zhou Ling.

"Hmm!"

Zhou Ling smiled knowingly, and kept walking forward with excitement.

"I've never seen such a stupid person, I'm so happy that I'm going to die!"

At this moment, a childish childish voice sounded in Zhou Ling's mind, and Zhou Ling instantly became a spirit.

That's Xiao Meng's voice!

"What's wrong, Xiaomeng?"

"Please, you see it's all an illusion, your mother died a long time ago, okay?"

Xiao Meng said with a posture of hating iron but not steel.

"You're saying the mother I saw was fake?"

Zhou Ling said in disbelief, he hoped that all this was true.

"If you give her a sword, you'll know!" Xiao Meng said.

"What, you nonsense, how can I hurt my mother!"

Zhou Ling was extremely reluctant to accept this fact, but Xiao Meng's reminder woke him up in the joy of being together with his mother.

He thought about how it was possible to meet his mother here because his mother had just died, so he slowly raised the Chixiao Sword with a trembling hand, and a sword qi slashed towards the "mother", and in an instant, the scene in front of him shattered like a mirror, dissipating in the vast mist.

Watching his mother's image disappear, Zhou Ling felt that the sword in his hand was like a thousand pounds, and thinking of the mother buried deep underground, his heart was even heavier and firmer.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely bring you back to life!"

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Zhou Ling thought that the illusion just now was really too real, if it wasn't for Xiao Meng reminding him, the consequences would not be imaginable.

"It seems that several of them have entered the illusion world! ”

Those who enter the illusion realm will immediately disappear from the original environment, and Zhou Ling deduces from this that the three of them must have been trapped in it.

"But how do you break this illusion?" Zhou Ling thought anxiously.

He wanted to ask Brother Qing, but he called several times and received no response.

"Don't call him, this guy was still studying what book you threw in two days ago, he should have been sleepy and sleeping for the past two days!" Xiao Meng responded.

"Brother Xiaomeng, thank you for reminding me just now, otherwise I might really be done playing!" Zhou Ling said in his mind.

"It's nothing, I just don't want you to die and still pull me on your back!"

Xiao Meng had a gesture of great gratitude.

Although Zhou Ling was a little unimpressed by Xiao Meng's high profile, he thought that since Xiao Meng could recognize the illusion, he might also have a way to solve it.

"So what can be done to save them?"

"The reason why there is a fantasy here is mainly because of these miasma, and once a person is entangled in the miasma and sucks it into his mouth, he will hallucinate. If you want to break the illusion, you need to dispel it with real fire!"

Xiao Meng's mind said.

"Is it really burning?" Zhou Ling muttered to himself.
