Chapter 178: Oasis

Nature is really magical.

Looking at the huge lake below the slope, Angela couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

This lake is not natural, it is an acquired condition.

Along with the legend of the lake, Angela is that protagonist.

As a result of that explosion, a large amount of energy condensed into the soil, causing the surrounding soil to burst into life, and an oasis was formed here in just these years.

Angela gathered a large pile of dry wood, found a relatively clean stone, sat down, and piled it in front of her.

He took out a flint and steel and a dagger, clicked a few times, and the flames slowly burst into flames as sparks exploded.

Taking out the potatoes in her arms and throwing them into the fire, Angela raised her hand, which was above her eyes, squinting her eyes and looking up at the sun in the sky, estimating the time and the future weather.

White fell from the sky, and this meeting did not fall on Angela's shoulders, but on Angela's side, hiding in the shadows, hiding from the scorching weather.

Maybe it's because of the geography or maybe it's because of something else, the weather here is unusually hot.

However, this kind of weather may have been scolded by people in the past, but today, it is people's favorite weather.

Because of this weather, there will be a lot less of those nasty things.

They will hide in dark corners, huddle in a ball, starving, waiting for the day to pass.

Angela lowered her head, pulled the hood a little, and pulled it down a little harder.

Then, a whirlwind blew through with sand and dust, leaving Angela covered in ashes and the flames almost extinguished.

When the wind passes, the dust is no longer flying in the sky.

Angela pulled out her sword, turned off the firewood, picked out the potatoes inside, and enjoyed her lunch, squinting her eyes and looking around.

In the distance, a few clouds of smoke and dust floated up, and it seemed that she was not the only one who was eating lunch under the scorching sun.

And although there are no houses or other buildings around, there are definitely a lot of people living here.

However, everyone carefully hides themselves, for fear of being discovered by others.

Here, and unlike anywhere else.

Comparatively, there are far fewer threats from other species, but there are many more threats from their own species.

The land here is highly desertified, so food here is not as easy to find as elsewhere.

The source of food here is already obvious, and most of it comes from below, from the oasis that surrounds the huge lake.

"It's time." Angela smiled and turned her head to look at Bai who was hiding beside her: "You're right." ”

Because the white crow lowered his head and combed the hair on his chest, he didn't know if he understood it or not.

However, Angela prefers that he understands, because her attitude towards him has always been the attitude towards intelligent beings.

"In my hometown, there is a word called "Acting for the Tiger."

Angela put her sword aside and clasped her hands in front of her knees, even though the scorching sun above her head made the earth hot, she did not hide in the shadows, but told Shiro the story to herself.

"That's a very interesting story, in which the person who was bitten to death by a tiger, and his ghost helped the tiger hurt people, he was called a ghost, and you can understand that the ghost is an undead."

Bai shook all over, and then squinted his eyes and dozed as if nothing happened.

Angela continued, "You've really chosen the wrong person, and I'm far more sensitive to magic than you think, even if I can't use any magic right now. I felt it when you cast magic on me, 12 times in total! ”

Bai couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore, he raised his head, and a childish voice came out of his body: "But why are you ......"

"Why not do it defensively? Right. Angela smiled and said, "Because, this level of magic is completely useless to me!" ”

"Then why are you here?"

"Because I'm curious, I'm curious why you have to let me come here."

As she spoke, Angela drew her sword.

Bai flapped his wings quickly and flew into the sky, because it was too fast, leaving a black feather fluttering down.

Angela held her sword across her lap, took out the gem, and carved it in detail.

As for the long sword, half of the blade of the blade, which was originally smooth as a mirror, was already occupied by delicate runes, and on the other side, it was completely occupied by runes.

The runes clinged to the sides of the spine of the sword, almost fused with the blade, and looked like a forged texture.

Yes, she can't use magic right now, but that doesn't mean she can't get the help of magic.

When the last rune was completed, the gem was also exhausted, and Bai was tired from flying and landed not far away from Angela, watching Angela vigilantly.

"Sure enough." Angela put away her sword and stood up: "You can't get away from me. ”

Bai said in a childish voice: "You have stepped into this whirlpool, and it is useless to kill me now." ”

"I know! So I have no intention of killing you for the time being. ”

Angela slapped her body, a cloud of dust flew, and finally made the gray robe a little clean, and then reluctantly gave up.

"That's where you're heading!"

Angela pointed to the oasis below.

Shiro: "Yes. ”

"Then let's go!"

"You, aren't you afraid?"

Angela grinned: "Believe me, a tiger is a tiger, even if it is seriously injured, hungry, and weak, a chicken's conspiracy cannot threaten it." ”

As she spoke, Angela stepped out of her long legs and walked downward.

White flapped his wings and flew up, following Angela.

In the distance, a group of dried corpses staggered out from behind the hills, chasing Angela.

They have more or less fresh blood stains on their bodies, especially on their lips.

And their number is also a little rarer, some of them are missing arms and legs, or there are more holes in their bodies, or they have arrows and darts stuck in them, it seems that they have gained some after some battles.

At the edge of the oasis, Angela stopped at a boulder thirty or forty feet (more than ten meters) high and said, "Here, it should be enough." ”

"Yes." Bai said, "But, aren't you going to go in?" ”

Angela said, "No. ”

"You're leaving?"

"Nope."

Angela shook her head: "Your master has already set his sights on me, I'm afraid he won't let me leave so easily." ”

"Yes, the master intends for you to work for her, just like me."

"So!" Angela walked to a shady place, lay down, and said lazily, "I'm going to recuperate." ”

As he spoke, he closed his eyes.

Bai: "Don't resist, it's useless." ”

Angela closed her eyes and said, "No, I'm not going to resist, I'm going to kill your master." ”

After being silent for a long time, Bai said, "You can't kill the master." ”

"Tonight is the best time to kill her."

Bai's voice sharpened: "How do you know?" ”

"Because of the law."

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you? I have the ability. ”

"You mean the guys who have been following me? Sorry, they don't have the ability, and besides, they've been following me not to kill me, but to get here, I guessed right? Okay, you go get busy, I'm going to get some sleep, and at night, I'll decide my fate. ”

With that, Angela fell asleep.

Rustling footsteps sounded, and one by one the dried corpses arrived here, surrounding Angela, carrying swords and spears aimed at Angela.

After a long time, Bai said: "Let's go, she is on guard, we don't have a chance." ”

After saying that, he flew to the oasis.

The dry corpse turned, shifted his steps, and staggered towards the oasis.

Angela lay on the ground, her hand gripping the hilt of her sword loosening slightly.
