Chapter Seventy-Three: A Boy in the Desert
The Talgan Desert is in a state of high temperature all year round, with scarce rain and a shortage of animals and plants.
And in the northeast of the desert, there is a special place, where there is a small oasis of about 100,000 square meters, with a small lake in the center, and green and hot plants grow densely.
Many creatures living in the desert travel long distances to replenish their water as a habitat and as a treasure trove for their offspring.
Whew!
A wolf howl rang out in this oasis, with a strong sound wave in the howl, like a king, declaring his sovereignty.
The creatures in the oasis looked terrified, and then quickly retreated, as if they knew what was coming.
"Xiao Yan, don't scream!"
A young voice sounded, and looking over, a wolf more than three meters tall walked over.
The wolf's strong body is in the shape of white and red stripes, mainly covered in the thighs, four hooves are strong and powerful, a long tail covered with manes, sharp red eyes, and sharp teeth, giving people an aura that is not easy to provoke.
This is a fire wolf, mainly living in high-temperature areas, especially in areas like deserts, there are many of them, with a fierce personality, violent and ferocious, as fast as lightning, ordinary adventurers should also retreat when they see it, and dare not provoke.
Tearing people alive and swallowing skulls alive seems to be commonplace.
And at this moment, it was such a flame wolf, and on its back sat a young man of about sixteen years old, with an extremely handsome face, long black hair scattered, and sharp eyes.
"Whew!"
As if sensing the dissatisfaction of the young man, the flame wolf looked up to the sky and howled aggrievedly, as if to signal that he was wrong.
"It's good to know that it's wrong, don't be so domineering next time, other creatures also have to survive, and they also need to drink water. ”
The young man's name is Ruan Yufeng, a person from the land outside the East Palace, who came to the place outside the West Palace with his father nearly ten years ago, and now, his father has long since died, and he is alone, and there is a wolf to rely on each other.
The flame wolf carried Ruan Yufeng slowly to the water source, and the nearby beasts looked at the flame wolf in fear, and the breath on its body made them dare not approach, which was the coercion of a high-ranking beast.
Unlike other beasts, the Flame Wolf is a spirit animal with natural elemental powers, capable of unleashing terrifying elemental attacks.
The difference between spirit beasts and beasts is that spirit beasts have spirituality, while beasts are only savage and have no reason, spirit beasts are naturally higher than beasts, and the latter is always afraid and in awe of the former, which is true in many parts of this world.
And why is the flame wolf statue able to understand the young man's words? It is because the young man is the possessor of the dominant power, and the ability he has is a kind of ability called the wolf soul.
To put it simply, it is to have the same strength, speed, acuity, and vision as a wolf.
They can even communicate with wolves and be able to communicate with each other.
This explains why the flame wolf can understand Ruan Yufeng's words, and the latter can also know what the former is thinking.
"Xiao Yan, you pay attention to the surroundings, I'll fetch water. ”
Ruan Yufeng cautiously swept around, found nothing abnormal, and immediately said to the flame wolf.
"Whew!"
The flame wolf listened, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he was able to understand human speech.
The three-meter-tall body stood upright, holding the proud head, staring sharply at the surroundings, and the ears were erected, and no wind or grass could escape.
The Flame Wolf has amazing eyesight and a keen sense of hearing, and is able to sense movement for miles in the vicinity, which is very powerful.
Rushing!
Ruan Yufeng took a few large buckets from the back of the Yan Wolf, one in each hand, and stretched them into the small lake, the clear lake water flowed out of the waves, and the young man filled all the buckets in less than a while.
"I want to go back quickly, the water shortage has been getting worse and worse recently, and I don't know what's wrong, this desert is getting hotter and hotter recently, and the big guys can't live without water to drink." ”
Ruan Yufeng sweated a little, and looked up at the fiery red sun in the sky, and the astonishing high temperature continued to spread below.
Ruan Yufeng looked at the small lake in front of him, it was much smaller than the previous month, he didn't know how the lake water here came from, but the water here has been flowing for nearly a hundred years, whether it is a human or a beast, they all rely on this place to survive.
Why didn't it evaporate at such high temperatures? He didn't understand.
He only knows that in the past year or two, the temperature here has been getting higher and higher than before, and many people have been suffering from heat stroke, and even been sunburned to death.
Ruan Yufeng's usual task is to come here, bring water back, and give it to the people in the village to drink, why did he come?
Because Ruan Yufeng's strength is very strong, ordinary beasts are not his opponents at all, he has been trained by his father since he was a child, so that his strength continues to improve, and he has become a real powerhouse in the eyes of the villagers.
In addition, there is a Xiao Yan who follows him like a shadow and does not abandon him, Ruan Yufeng is the overlord of the beasts in this area, no beast dares to attack him, and indirectly protects the village from being attacked by ferocious beasts.
indirectly played a role in defending the village and was favored by the villagers.
"Xiao Yan, okay, let's go back to the village. ”
Ruan Yufeng gently stroked the head of the flame wolf, who had a soft gaze and meekly lowered his head, enjoying it.
Xiao Yan's favorite thing is to be touched by Ruan Yufeng like this, you know, the two of them have been together since childhood, like family.
Ruan Yufeng looked at the sky, he was going to go back, and the people in the village were still waiting for him.
Their village is very special, it is a village that lives on the edge of the Talgan Desert, where the terrain is relatively special, and they can only come here to get water, because the nearest source of water is here.
If you don't come here, you have to cross a large stretch of yellow sand, which is equivalent to crossing half a desert, to get water.
The villagers are reluctant to take risks, after all, the desert has many dangers, ordinary people do not know it, but they are the most qualified to say, they have lived here for almost hundreds of years.
Knock!
A faint sound sounded quietly from a distance.
In an instant, Yan Wolf and Ruan Yufeng instantly became vigilant and turned their eyes to the direction where the voice came from.
The sound grew louder from far to near, and many of the beasts were affected and fled into the distance.
"It's like a sound from the Spider Fortress, could it be an adventurer?"
Ruan Yufeng has a very sensitive hearing, with the same hearing as a wolf, and can distinguish many sounds.
The reason why he was able to guess that it was the sound of a spider fortress in the first place was because he had been in the desert for many years, and he was very familiar with the spider fortress and had seen a lot.
It also made him realize that there were adventurers coming here!
"Wow, there's water, this desert is really long-eyed, and there will be some saliva, it's very good. ”
An ecstatic word sounded, and on the spider fortress, Yuan Li looked at the lake that appeared in front of him, and thought from the bottom of his heart, it was good to be alive.
He was so thirsty that they were almost running out of water, and just when the rest of them were feeling a little desperate, they saw an oasis in front of them, and without saying a word, they ran towards it.
They were praying, hoping that there would be water in the oasis.
Sure enough, the heavens favored them very much, and there was really water, which suddenly freed them from despair, as if they had arrived in a fairyland, and their eyes were moist.
On the fortress, Lias and the others looked at the lake in front of them, and their mood also improved, and they were drenched in sweat and sweat on their clothes, clearly outlining the slender figures of Lias and Devonne, looming, full of temptation, and feasting the eyes.
