6.1 Death Sand Sea III
Rui Gong turned around, walked to Ke Zhenshi and Di Qingchuan's side, and looked at them coldly for a while, and suddenly, she used all her strength to shout, "You two listen to me!" I have nothing to worry about in that world, and it is nothing if I don't go back; But I don't want to die in this lifeless desert, where the body is covered by the wind and sand, and finally turns into white bones, and no one knows if you die! ”
Ke Zhenshi struggled to get up from the ground, "Hey, hey, why is your little girl talking so ugly?!" ”
"No matter how ugly it sounds, it's better than a useless egg!" Rui Geng snorted coldly, "Maybe we will be able to walk out of the desert in half a day, who knew that two cowards died on the edge of this desert!" ”
Di Qingchuan is the most afraid of death, he is more afraid of death than being too tired to move; Not to mention dying in this desert. He struggled, his hands clutching in the air, his look of horror palpable.
"I don't want to die on the edge of the desert," his voice was full of crying, "but I really can't walk, I'm finished!" ”
Ke Zhenshi patted him on the shoulder to show comfort, "We won't die so easily, Dachuan!" Think about the road we've traveled all the way, are we cowards?! Of course not! ”
After speaking, he looked at Rui Gong defiantly, his eyes full of anger, "We must show some people what we are capable of!" We'll definitely be able to get out! ”
At this time, Husang also walked over. He comforted Di Qingchuan and said, "Everyone may be tired, and we can't actually walk." It's okay, let's rest first! ”
Rui Gong nodded in agreement, and sat down on the ground. Why isn't she tired? Her mouth had long since run out of water, and since this morning, she had found that every time she sat down to rest and stood up again, her eyes would spin around, her eyes would go black, and there would be a lot of light dancing in front of her, like elves. "I don't know if I'll be able to stand up next time......
She looked up and asked Husang, "You said the illusion we saw just now, is it the Green Lake?" ”
Husang shook his head, "It's hard to say. ”
Ke Zhenshi interjected, "I remember my father told me that the mirage in the desert is caused by the refraction of light, which will refract the distant scene. So this green lake may not be far away? ”
"I can't tell. But—" Fox Sang muttered, "in our world, illusions have a cause. Lingwa gave us the revelation of the 'Green Lake' and threw us into the desert, saying that it was an experience, and in the end, we were too tired to do anything here, but we saw the 'Green Lake', although it was only an illusion. I guess it's not an accident. ”
Somehow, the Little Phoenix Emperor hasn't returned to them yet. At first, they were a little worried, wondering if Dai was lost or what happened to him. As time went on, fatigue and hunger plagued them, and they had no time to take care of anything else.
The moon slowly came to the middle of the heavenly dome, and in the endless sand, they were so small and fragile that they could only snuggle up to each other, and they could be buried by the wind and sand at any moment.
They didn't sleep very well. The same goes for the little fox. His shiny fur had somehow become dry and dull, and the black and round nose on the pointed fox's face fluttered slightly, as if he had smelled something delicious......
"Fox mulberry...... Fox Mulberry ......" suddenly heard an ethereal voice in mid-air.
"Hmm...... Well? Who's calling me? Husang seemed to wake up as if in a dream and heard someone calling him.
"Look, there is a miraculous fruit in front of you. As long as you eat it, you can permanently quench your hunger and thirst, and your stamina will be greatly increased. ”
Husang shrugged his nose and said, "Food?" What to eat? Where is it? ”
An inexplicable voice said, "Right in front of your eyes!" ”
Hearing this, Fox Sang tried to open his eyes a slit, only to see a fruit glowing with multicolored light and a transparent body appeared in front of him, and the brilliance on the fruit flashed, looking so unreal. He sniffed curiously, and when he saw that the fruit seemed to have the fragrance of all the plants in the world, his spirit instantly became excited, and his fatigue became faint at this time. Fox Sang's eyes widened, and his throat squirmed twice unconsciously, but there was no saliva, just a hot pain.
The inexplicable voice continued, "Eat! While humans are still sleeping, you secretly eat the fruit, so that you can successfully get out of the desert and never feel hungry and thirsty again. ”
Fox Sang's eyes shone like never before, and his front paws quickly stretched out towards the fruit, but just as he was about to touch them, the paws stopped abruptly, and then hesitated, "What about them?" ”
"Leave the humans alone. The fruit is for one man. The more people who share the food, the worse the effect. There is no guarantee that you will be able to get out of the desert. ”
After hearing this, Husang's outstretched paws in the air gradually trembled, and the light in his eyes flickered, sometimes revealing a greedy gaze, and sometimes he was ashamed and ashamed.
After struggling for a long time, he saw Husang shake his head and said, "We are all companions, and it is not easy to go all the way." I don't want this fruit, I'd better wait for Emperor Xiaofeng to bring us something to eat. ”
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes," said Fox Sang firmly, "I can't starve my companion to death by eating alone. That would upset your conscience. ”
As he finished speaking, the fruit suddenly emitted an even more intense light, and then magically split into four in the air, landed on the mouths of the people, and slid down their throats.
Before Husang could react, he felt a burst of sweetness in his mouth, as if he had drunk the best nectar in the world and eaten the most delicious delicacies, his body was instantly full of strength, and his dry fur quickly became smooth and full.
"Congratulations, Fox-san. Your decision saves everyone. Now, you can get out of the sands of death. ”
Husang was stunned for a moment, didn't figure out if he was dreaming for a while, rolled his eyes, and wanted to raise his hand to pinch his inner thigh.
"Wow, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts." The next moment, Ke Zhenshi exhaled painfully.
Beside him, Rui Gong woke up, rubbing his eyes.
"I'm ......" Rui Gong clenched her fist in disbelief and pursed her mouth, "What's the matter, the feeling of hunger and thirst is gone?" ”
"I feel empowered?" Ke Zhenshi slashed his fist, "One punch feels like it can kill a cow." ”
Di Qingchuan's originally gloomy eyes also brightened, and his eyes revealed surprise, "Sense...... It feels like it's going again! I can't die! ”
The sky gradually brightens. Everyone happily discussed their changes and discussed what to do next.
As he spoke, Dai Fengchen flew back, hovering low in the air, spitting flames and playing.
"Wear! How did you go for so long? Missed us! Ke Zhenshi muttered.
Day ignored him, and continued to play with the flames, the fiery red flames causing ripples in the air.
Husang looked at the firelight and muttered, "Dai's spiritual power seems to have increased a lot, and it is already extraordinary." ”
Dai flew down from the sky and stopped beside Rui Geng, rubbing hard against her.
"Dai, have you found a way out for us?" Rui asked him.
"Found it, found it!" Dai said excitedly, "There is a city ahead!" Golden City! ”
"Ahead? How far is it going? Di Qingchuan asked anxiously.
"Not far, not far, three hills. I'll take you away! ”
"Then let's get on our way!" Husan proposed. His heart was filled with joy.
"Ahh Good day! Ke Zhenshi raised his arms and shouted.
Then the group followed Hu Sang, and Hu Sang followed the Phoenix Emperor above his head, from dawn to noon, and from noon to dusk. The setting sun shone obliquely in front of everyone's eyes, and several people were on a high sand dune, looking around, over the flying yellow sand, in front of everyone, a magnificent and rugged giant city could be faintly seen, standing in the yellow sand. "What a big city!" Ke Zhenshi felt excited.
"It's not a mirage, is it?" Di Qingchuan asked cautiously.
Husang rubbed his eyes vigorously, and the golden earthen wall still stood there.
"Let's go, let's take a look." Rui Gong suggested.
Seeing such a magnificent and huge city, everyone couldn't help but want to go and explore it.
"There are not too many cities of such majesty and grandeur in our world," Husang pondered, "and they were built in the desert,...... Don't! Mo not! ”
The boys didn't listen to what Husan was saying, so they hurried forward. But though the city seemed to be close at hand, they had not yet reached the darkness of the sky before they came to the great city.
I saw that the continuous city wall was in a huge arc shape, and the surface of the city wall was faintly glowing with shallow light, and the wind and sand were blowing, but there was no trace of invasion. The city wall is about ten zhang high, the wall is black and yellow, at first glance it looks like a rammed earth wall, and if you look closely, you can see that the surface of the city wall is smooth, like some kind of jade. On top of the city walls, there are piers at intervals, and on each pier there is a bright jewel-like thing that shines in the dark night, giving people a warm feeling. There was also a gate on the wall, but it was tightly closed.
From the place where Husang and they stood to the city gate, it was about two or three miles. On the side of the road, there are all kinds of creatures large and small, and they gather in twos and threes to make fires to keep warm, and the number seems to be thousands.
The appearance of several fox mulberries did not attract their attention. Maybe it's because there are too many spirit beasts here.
Dai no longer soars in the air, but walks by Rui Gong's side. "I feel a familiar and familiar force here." Dai said in a low voice.
"Well, I kind of know where this is." Husang said with a radiant look.
"Oh, tell me about it?" Ke Zhenshi said.
"The legendary Holy Land of Light, the Holy City of the Sun and the Moon." Husang couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.
"Sun and Moon Holy City?!" Several human teenagers said in unison.
"That's right, that's right, it's the place I told you to worship the Gem of Light!" Husang's face was full of smiles, "The temple of the goddess of the sun and moon was built here, and it was protected by the Taiyi Force Generation Enchantment; There is also a school garden in the city, which is a place of enlightenment for gifted beings in the spiritual world to practice spiritual power. Masters like the Twelve Elders, all of whom have received education here and opened their spiritual powers. ”
"That's amazing!" Ke Zhenshi sucked the saliva that flowed out of his mouth.
"It's amazing!" Husang's expression was solemn and dignified, full of reverence, "This is where the foundation of our spiritual realm lies!" All the best ways are spread from here! Look at these creatures, they are here to worship! ”
The further they went, the more creatures gathered around them. There are even strange simple tents and bird nests set up there, and the chirping is endless.
"Strange! Why do all these creatures stay outside the city and not go into the city? Rui Gong asked.
"It's said that it's a holy city, how can you enter and exit casually," Hu Sang said a little proudly, "Except for the spirit world bosses with noble status and boundless mana, only minor spirit beasts can be allowed to enter this city gate." ”
"Huh?" Ke Zhenshi was surprised, "You can't come and go freely?" So what do we do? ”
"This ......," Husan said. He only knew that the Sun and Moon Holy City had been built for tens of thousands of years, and there were many legends about it, and it had always been the most hierarchical and mysterious place in the spirit world; Everyone only knows that it is in the depths of the sea of death sand, but except for the masters who have been invited by the school to practice spiritual power, no living beings can enter the holy city; It wasn't until 3,000 years ago that the Gem of Light was enshrined here, and the place became even more solemn and hierarchical.
He remembered that it had been a long time since any living beings in his family had been allowed to enter this holy city, and for at least thousands of years, the Spirit Fox Clan was just a remote race far away from the holy city. Thinking of the family's past, Husang's expression became darker.
Just when the big guy was at a loss, he saw a huge figure flying out of the sky above the city gate, which looked extremely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
