Chapter 128 A Spooky Oasis
Lin Yuan arranged for his cavalry regiment to be stationed 300 steps away from the oasis, and he only took Hou Yi and 3 elite cavalry to the oasis alone.
He didn't know if it was a mirage illusion, or if there was a swamp and quicksand in it, or if there were any dangerous animals in it......
Therefore, Lin Yuan left the main force outside the oasis, and he took the team to investigate first.
In everything, you have to leave a back hand, this is Lin Yuan's principle of doing things.
His cavalry regiment is his follower.
As the distance got closer, the appearance of the oasis became clearer and clearer, and now, Lin Yuan could already be sure that it was not a mirage, because he had already heard the chirping of birds in the sky, and if it was a false illusion, there would be no sound.
Lin Yuan and his party rode their horses to the edge of the oasis, and sure enough, as they had seen in the distance before, it was a small area of low bushes, and the bright green was particularly conspicuous on this earthy yellow Gobi desert. Behind the scarce greenery is a rippling lake.
"Whoa! Ah, water! It's really water! Haha, I knew it wasn't an illusion! I'm dying of thirst! “
He roared with joy, and he even jumped off his horse, led the horse and ran towards the lake.
Hou Yi was also a little excited, but he didn't act, just turned his head to look at Lin Yuan, waiting for his order.
Lin Yuan frowned, he carefully observed the surroundings, and finally left his gaze on the white beach by the lake.
He led his war horse, hurriedly rushed across the white water beach, and fell to the lake, he let go of the reins of the horse, knelt down beside the lake, and excitedly picked up a handful of water.
But the war horse beside him strangely did not bend its head, its nose twitched, but it took a step back.
Lin Yuan saw all this, and he hurriedly shouted:
"Worm! Don't drink it!! Wait a minute......"
But it was too late, and the worm had already poured a large mouthful of water into the lake.
He suddenly stared at Lin Yuan, and then slammed it out, squirting out all the water, his eyes were red, his mouth was wide open, he stuck out his tongue vigorously, and he was panting.
"Quick! Get him water and rinse his mouth! Tell the word down, this lake is poisonous!! Don't come closer! ”
Lin Yuan turned over and dismounted, and ordered in a loud voice.
After Hou Yi heard Lin Yuan's order, he immediately picked up the skin bag containing water, rushed to the side of the worm, and poured the water into the mouth of the worm.
"Wow...... Ahem, cough, cough ......" Worm had just taken a sip of water, and then couldn't help but cough violently.
Lin Yuan made a few gestures and ordered the three elite cavalry behind him to start guarding around, and then he slowly walked to the white river beach by the lake, bent down, frowned and observed for a long time, and then picked up a piece of soil with his hand and put it in the sun to observe carefully.
It seemed to be a white, crystalline substance that adhered to the dry dirt at the water's edge, giving it a sense of déjà vu......
Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, he glued some white powdery crystals with his hand, put them under his nose and sniffed them, his expression suddenly became a little strange, and then he tried to put the white crystals on his tongue and lick them......
Suddenly, he was able to speak, and he called out loudly:
"Ahh Ahh Be careful!! Be careful!! Ghosts! There are female ghosts in this lake!! ”
Lin Yuan hurriedly threw away the crystals and turned his head to look at the cana, he suddenly found that the canada looked ahead in horror, and stretched out a hand tremblingly, pointing at the lake.
Hou Yi looked in the direction of the fingers of the dragon, and couldn't stand being stunned, the skin bag he was holding in his hand also fell to the ground, and the only little pure water left was also spilled on the ground.
What kind of evil is this?!!
Lin Yuan followed their direction and looked towards the lake, only to find that it turned out that the lake was ......
Actually!
There was a man standing!!
Day!
Lin Yuan took a sharp breath, he took a step back cautiously, grabbed the fruit knife at his waist, and he looked at the person on the lake carefully.
The lake was covered with mist, and the line of sight was not very clear, but Lin Yuan could vaguely see that it seemed to be a woman, she didn't seem to be wearing any clothes, her body hidden behind the mist revealed a graceful curve, and her long black hair spilled down from her head, covering her face, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but from the point of view of her figure, she seemed to be a young woman......
But!! The question is, why is this woman able to stand on the surface of the lake!! She won't even sink?
"Ghost ...... What the hell!! ”
There was a Sabah cavalry who was stupid by everything in front of him, and couldn't help but roar like crazy, Lin Yuan turned around suddenly, slapped him with a backhand, and hit the Sabah cavalry with gold stars in his eyes.
"Calm me down! Dry! Are you still not Sabah? What is a woman afraid of? ”
"But...... But...... That's not human......"
Lin Yuan suddenly pulled out the fruit knife on his waist and said to his subordinates with a fierce face:
"Give me calm, whether he's a human or a ghost! Even if it's a god, I can split him in half! ”
Lin Yuan said sharply, his eyes fierce and sharp, scanning everyone present.
Lin Yuan's actions made several people present calm down, and at the moment of the leader, they must show the basic qualities they should have.
The howling Saba cavalry before lowered his head in shame, and the others grabbed the weapons around him, and Worm Zha seemed to have recovered a little, he helped Hou Yi to stand up, and said to Lin Yuan:
"That's right! Phew! The king is right! Maybe it's because the water is poisonous! Let's hallucinate! There's nothing to be afraid of! It's a female ghost, it's a big deal to kill me! I can't disgrace the Sabah people, sister! Come on! Ahhhhh!!h ”
As he spoke, he turned around and retrieved his stone spear from behind him and aimed it at the lake.
The woman on the lake seemed to stand for a moment, and then she moved closer to this side, Lin Yuan saw clearly now, this woman was indeed walking on the water, it seemed that the rippling blue water, under her feet, had become a hard land, walking around at will.
"Hey! The person on the other side! Who are you? Stop pretending to be a ghost here! We didn't mean anything, we were just passing by......"
Lin Yuan stood in front of everyone, and he yelled at the woman in the lake.
Suddenly, the breeze on the lake seemed to stagnate, there was no coolness in the air, it was stuffy and hot, and then, a thin layer of fog gradually rose from the surface of the lake, and the woman was faintly reflected.
Suddenly, from the mist, there was a faint sound that drifted to the ears of everyone present:
"The Man of the Beast Riders...... How dare you trespass on the Holy Lake...... The god of water is about to be angry...... Get out of the ...... quickly Otherwise......"
Suddenly, there was a strange whooshing sound in the air, and Hou Yi's eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly shouted:
"Be careful, everyone, hide ......"
As soon as Hou Yi's words fell, Lin Yuan felt a numbness in his ears, and a strong wind shot through his ears.
Lin Yuan hurriedly took a few steps back, he knew that after years of training, Hou Yi's eyes and ears were more sensitive than ordinary people, and he must have discovered some danger just now.
"Hou Yi! What happened just now? What's in the air?? ”
Lin Yuan led everyone to retreat and asked Hou Yi at the same time.
Hou Yi didn't say anything, he walked to the place where Lin Yuan was standing just now, picked up something on the ground not far behind, and handed it to Lin Yuan.
It was a slender object, emerald green all over, although it was covered with sludge, but Lin Yuan could still see at a glance that it was a short arrow!!
It was this arrow that grazed past my ear! It's too dangerous!!
Is this a deliberate attempt by the enemy? Still is......
Lin Yuan didn't have time to think about it, he turned around again, the mist on the lake had dissipated, however, where was there still a trace of that woman?? (To be continued.) )
