Chapter 4: It's hard to survive

The last pinch of sand of the hourglass is about to leak. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Traveler King, you are a lucky star. Goodbye, if you still have a life, I will be grateful. The ship has sent you off. ”
Solomon didn't bother to get up, and waved his hand directly to the sky and the Traveler King in farewell.
There was a scream, and then only the sound of the wind remained.
Needless to confirm, Solomon is dead.
The Traveler King didn't want to bother wondering how he died, he couldn't protect himself now.
Look around, as far as the eye can see, except for the desert, it is still the desert.
"I don't think there will be an oasis no matter how far you go..."
This ship is its only life.
He got on board and tried the console. Sure enough, it was locked, and the instrument was not broken, but there was no response.
I expected it, but I was unwilling not to try it.
He began to count supplies.
Because it usually only flies short distances, there is hardly anything on board. In addition to repair tools, instruments and equipment, food and water are only enough for ordinary people for 3 days. If you eat it by him, if you save to the limit, it can last for about a month... bar.
He didn't know much about mechanical engineering, and the operation level of the spacecraft was only enough for one with autopilot.
Can this harsh environment really last for a month? Every minute there is a feeling of being cut at life.
Fortunately, there is high-performance air conditioning on board, so you can come back and rest when you are tired. You don't have to be exposed to ghost weather 24 hours a day.
Oasis!
The only way to survive is to create an oasis!

The Traveler King pulls out a tree seed from his backpack. This is his best species, a rare species that can adapt to all environments - heat, cold, no light, exposure to the sun, the bottom of the sea, and dryness.
He planted a tree seed in the sand and used a spell to try to create a sapling. Under the spawn of the spell, the seed jumped into a sapling, but it died in an instant.
"it!"
Don't be scared if you don't know how to use it. The cost of the spell was actually increased by about 10 times, and the Traveler King instantly lost a large amount of mana.
What the heck? Not only is life weakened, but mana is also being squeezed?
The instant death of the sapling also made him unable to read it. This sudden death is more like the effect of being destroyed by magic than an environmental factor such as drought.
He remembered that it was probably because the air was full of magic.
He took out another handful of grass seeds from his backpack and sprinkled them. Spell casting!
A patch of grass sparsely scurried up and withered in an instant.
It doesn't work...
The two spells were almost empty, and the Traveler King suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't fight.
"Whew..."
Sigh and think calmly.
He returned to the boat and fetched a jug of water. Go back to the desert, open the lid, pour water on the ground...
"Isn't it!"
It was only 1 second between opening the lid and the crooked can, and most of the water had disappeared, and before the water could fall to the ground, the last drop also disappeared in mid-air.
"So exaggerated? Can this still be played? ”
Ordinary water can't work, but what about magic water?
Gotta try it!
The Traveler King cast a spell in an attempt to create a handful of water between his hands. But I only felt that the mana value plummeted, and not a drop of water appeared in the palm of my hand.
Completely empty blue!
The Traveler King sat down on the ground.
"Impossible......"
He lay on the ground and grabbed a handful of sand and put it in front of his eyes.
Looked and looked.
Licked again.
Simply chewed.
"There's nothing suspicious, except that it's magical, it's just ordinary sand......"
With no mana left, the Traveler King reluctantly rolled back to the ship.
・
In the evening, the Traveler King rested and recovered four or five percent of his mana. For some reason, mana recovery is particularly slow.
It was too hot during the day and continued at night.
As soon as he got off the boat, the Traveler King shuddered.
It's so cold! I don't know how many degrees below zero?
He opened the lid of the jug and hurried to look inside.
Before the water could freeze, it disappeared as wildly as during the day. After a second or two, it was gone.
The consequence of the test was that the water was gone for three or four days (by the limit standard of the Traveler King).
The Traveler King can't understand it now, why did this water disappear, and I thought it was evaporated at a high temperature.
But the water in the cabin is fine. It seems that it is still air.
Although I had a hunch that my efforts were in vain, I was still unwilling.
He took out one of the most precious trees of the day, buried it in the sand, and cast a spell to give birth. It's the same fate again.
"It seems that the magic wafting in the air has caused it... Eighty percent is a resident spell like all plants withering... It's an exaggeration..."
Blue sky again.
The Sand King shuddered and ran back to the boat. Now I can only sleep, and I will fight again tomorrow.
"That's me, if I change someone else, I will be killed by the temperature in minutes..."
Encourage yourself to encourage...

Anyway, it was difficult to survive during the day and night, and the next day when he woke up, the Traveler King immediately began to work.
After getting off the boat, he suddenly noticed that the corpse was strange.
All three corpses were wrapped in power armor. It's all the same, as if after tens of thousands of years of wind and rain overnight, the metal has corroded and rotted, revealing the inside, there are white bones in some places, and there are empty places, and it is estimated that even the bones have been weathered.
Did I sleep overnight or tens of thousands of years?
He quickly turned his head and looked at the spacecraft worriedly.
"Oh, but it's sturdy, no corrosion."
He didn't know much about metal machinery and the like, and at the moment he only sighed that the metal of the spaceship was much stronger than the power armor. He wouldn't have understood that the two materials were almost the same, and even the power armor was stronger. This spaceship is a civilian type, and the two pairs of power armor are military type, and the power armor of a rich man like Solomon is the best of the best.
"It's okay, if the ship breaks down, you really can't go back?"
The Traveler King always felt that since the ship was not broken, there was hope of leaving.
・
But any traveler can practice the spells of the plural system. The Traveler King was originally earth-based, but he also refined the low-end spells of the wood and water systems. But sure enough, the soil system is the old business.
His earth-based spells are much more sophisticated.
He pressed his hands to the ground, accumulating mana, and narrowing the casting range, otherwise the mana would not be enough for one time... That's damn 10 times more blue-consuming.
"Return to the earth!"
Thundered...
The vast desert around the Traveler King is gradually changing. The sand gradually disappeared and became land. But this land looks pitiful, cracked, yellow, barren...
The Traveler King remained on his stomach, staring at the land. I'm afraid that it will fall short in an instant, just like before.
No response for half a minute.
"It's a success!"
The Traveler King couldn't help but cheer. It was the first time he had succeeded here, even if it was such a small success.
As soon as he jumped, the originally weak Traveler King immediately stumbled and almost fell.
After the joy, he calmed down.
"A small piece of the desert has become land... And then what? ”
yes, and then what? There's a fart... What about water? What about plants? Still no way.
Anyway, the mana ran out, so I simply went back to the boat and fell asleep.
・
Over the next few days, the Traveler King tried all the spells again. It turns out that only earth-based spells work.
He also tried indoor cultivation, after all, there was air conditioning, but the plants still withered instantly.
To make matters worse, his cloak had also corroded visibly over the past few days. Although it had been many days, the actual length of time he had been exposed each day was not much, and his cloak had not been scrapped like the power armor of those three people.
If you don't have a cloak, your ability to resist the environment will be even lower, and you will die of heat or freeze to death every minute. Although his cloak looks shabby, it is a high-end equipment for travelers.
Initially thought it would last a month? The Sand King miscalculated. The water was wasted for about three or four days, and here, even hiding in the cabin, the physical exertion was unusually great, and the food fell quickly.
It's about going to last less than 10 days......
A sense of despair knocked down the Traveler King.
He sat down on the ground. While crushing the land he had worked so hard to create, he recalled the harsh environments he had encountered. What wilderness with clear droughts and floods, what ice and snow planets with minus 100 degrees, and what barren lands with lightning and thunder all day long, are all like paradises......
In the worst time before, he had to sleep less than 5 meters away from the magma and less than half a meter in diameter at the foothold. At the time, he thought that there would never be a more tragic experience. Unexpectedly, now, there is ready-made food and water, and there is air conditioning in the bedroom. I don't think I'm going to be able to live...
Syllable!
The Traveler King slapped himself in the face.
"I can't die! Good women all over the world are still waiting for me! ”
Get up, return to the spaceship, sleep, and recharge.
・
Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven.
The Traveler King cast spells to create land as hard as he could, and that was the only thing he could do. A spell is empty and blue, and it's a reduced version of the spell. On average, it can only be used three times every two days.
When he ran out of food and water, he saw a glimmer of hope, no, a scumbag of hope.
With the unremitting efforts, the area of land near the spacecraft has become more and more extensive. I don't know when it began, but he gradually felt that the concentration of magic in the sky above the land was a little thinner. It's really just a little bit, if it weren't for the fact that the Traveler King was too idle, maybe I wouldn't feel it.
If the land is further expanded, there will definitely be some kind of turnaround!
The Traveler King firmly believed that he saw hope, but it was too late. Food and water are exhausted.
"Drink hate..."
The Traveler King knelt on the ground and sighed in his uproar. Countless beauties flashed in front of their eyes like marquees.
"Hehe, you count the stars in broad daylight?"
"Huh? Sand King? ”
The Sand King suddenly appeared behind the Traveler King like a ghost. Silent and scary.
The Sand King didn't look at him at this time, staring at the sky, as if he was curious about what the Traveler King was looking at when he looked up to the sky and sighed just now.
"You've got such good eyesight, I just see a spaceship coming."
Say what? Spaceship?
In the dusky sky, there is not even a shadow of a bird.
The Sand King beckoned to the sky.
What does this mean?
The Traveler King couldn't read it at all. He was not so afraid of the Sand King now, and he stared at the Sand King, thinking what this monster was doing?
The Sand King sat down beside the Traveler King, hooking his shoulders and back. This intimate act made the traveler king's hair stand upside down.
"Boy, let's hit it off at first sight, and I'll give you a gift."
"No, I'm going to do it anyway..."
Anyway, I'm going to have no life to receive the gift right away,
The Sand King took out a necklace and dangled it in front of the Traveler's eyes.
"King Shesha!"
The Traveler King immediately half-got up, and snatched the necklace from the Sand King's hand with both hands. As if he was going to eat it, he held it in front of his eyes and stared at it.
Heartthrob necklace!
