Chapter 484, Fleeting Happiness
After tossing and turning in the tent with Guan Yao and the others for an hour, I came out satisfied. And Guan Yao and Ye Ruoxue also walked out with me. Guan Yao's face was a little shy, and her arm grabbed mine. And Ye Ruoxue said indifferently: "Now it's time for us to set off." ”
I looked up at the sun in the sky, the fireball was already slanting westward, and I knew it was time to hurry. In the desert. Temperatures are high during the day, especially in the middle of the day. That kind of hot sand can blanch an egg, and it doesn't take long for a person to walk on it. Blisters will appear on your feet, and the pain will make your already low level of movement even lower.
At night, it is very cold in the desert, especially at midnight, and the chilly feeling will make you have to work exponentially every step forward, and that kind of hardship is not enough to be inhumanized by outsiders. So, a good time to march in the desert is the hours after the sun sets and the time after the sun rises.
Quickly packed up the tent and adjusted the direction, we headed for the goal. Our goal is simple. It's an oasis. In this way, we can replenish our water and food.
I was enjoying the refreshing breath of the desert after the sun set. Suddenly, in the blowing night wind, I faintly heard a scream. Then I was stunned for a moment, grabbed the Five Thunder Sword, and rushed into the distance.
Soon I was at the place where the screams were, and when I came here, my eyes were a little cold.
Under the sand dunes in front of me, there were two people, one was supposed to be an Indian, and the other was a Japanese ninja.
At the moment, I was lying on my back on the ground, motionless, and it seemed to be dead. The Japanese ninja was kneeling beside him, as if he was doing something, and I couldn't see it clearly because of my eyes, but from the wind blowing from there, I could smell a strong smell of blood.
It didn't take long for the ninja to stand up suddenly, and he smiled extremely proudly, "You damn bastard, I asked you to give me the water and food, if that's the case, maybe I'll let you go if I'm in a good mood, haha, but that's fine, I can't imagine that you nigga has a lot of blood, enough for me to drink for a few days, hehe, I just don't know how your meat is, but there's no way, after walking for so many days, I don't even have a monster, I have to eat it if it's not delicious, I don't have much food." ”
As he spoke, the ninja actually took out his weapon and skillfully split the body of the Indian, and soon, a large piece of human flesh was cut off, and the body of the Indian was no longer human.
"Hehe, a great harvest, well, these things are enough to support me to find the next oasis." The ninja seemed to be very satisfied with his gain, and he didn't feel scared at all about the blood skeleton in front of him, and he was even very satisfied with this "masterpiece" of his own, and he could hear his smug laughter from time to time. Find garbage.
Just as he was complacent, an unrivaled murderous aura suddenly came from behind him.
However, this man was not weak, his body instinctively jumped back, and then his body burst into a puff of black smoke. The whole person disappeared around me.
"Hidden?" I said to myself. The body exudes a ghostly aura, perceiving it in all directions. Soon I noticed the difference, and then the Five Thunder Sword in my hand swept in an arc.
Rushing towards a transparent place, a black light appeared. This man appeared in front of me.
The ninja is not tall, and his body is very thin, but the hand holding a ninja knife is very powerful, and his face is very handsome, especially at this moment, there are residual blood stains on the corners of his mouth, which makes people feel even more evil.
"Who are you and why are you attacking me?" This ninja actually said it in Mandarin.
"Does this need a reason?" I glanced at him and said.
"Yes. No reason is needed. The ninja looked at me with a wicked look at him. Then he smirked and rushed towards me.
He was so fast that he was like an afterimage.
"Look for death." I glanced at him. Then the ghost qi condensed the ghost qi towards the five thunder swords, and it was directly a ghost slash. The huge ghost slash made it impossible for the ninja to dodge at all, and his body directly turned into two halves.
I just withdrew the Five Thunder Sword, and after mastering the Ghost Slash, it really made me greatly improve my combat effectiveness. And although my ghost aura is not domineering enough, the recovery speed is quite terrifying.
Turning to glance at him, I was back in the group.
"What did you just do?" Guan Yao asked with concern.
"Nothing. Just killed one person. I said calmly.
"Oh," Guan Yao nodded, didn't say anything, and then we continued towards the oasis.
This burial desert deserves its name. When it comes to the environment, it is definitely several times more terrifying than the most cruel place in the world. One of the most terrifying is the sandstorm.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, rolling up the sand grains in the sky, slashing at us, no matter how we bowed our heads and bent down to protect our bodies, but the fine grains of sand still penetrated into my clothes like the finest offensive in the world, and the feeling was as uncomfortable as it was.
"Damn sandstorm!" I cursed hatefully, as I continued to go deeper into the Burial God Desert, I finally saw the unpredictable climate in the desert, just now it was still a good weather, but just like that, the whole world seems to have become a world of sand and dust, covering the sky and the sun, the sun and the moon have no light, the visibility is less than a few meters, I know that today it seems that I can only go here, and if I go on, I will die in this sandstorm, this is not a joke, even if I am strong, it is impossible to compete with this natural force.
In the midst of the raging sandstorms, we are as weak as dust. Although I puffed up the ghost qi all over my body, I could only barely keep the sand from invading my body.
"No, we can only camp here." Duanmu Xuan said. Then we immediately gathered together and pulled up the tents. And let the camels keep us out of the wind.
That's how the night went.
The next day, we continued our walk in the middle of the desert, where we were suffocated. In contrast, the enemy is not a significant threat. Nature is the most terrifying.
Now that we don't have water anymore, everyone's body is draining a lot of water. If we can't find the oasis, we'll have to kill the camels.
Our throats are dry at the moment, and we are like people who are about to despair.
It can be said that we are at the end of our rope now. This desert of burial gods may be the place where we are buried.
But at this moment, Guan Yao suddenly said in surprise: "Look, there is an oasis!" ”
This made me overjoyed and hurriedly looked into the distance. Sure enough, this is where the oasis is. It was a patch of green.
The oasis, according to legend, is the last hope left by the gods to this desperate land, and it is the place where life continues in the desert. The reason for the formation of an oasis is simple, the water under the sand layer is exposed to the sand surface for some reason, forming a lake that gives birth to life, and the size of an oasis depends on the size of its lake.
Obviously, the oasis we came to this time has a very large lake, so in contrast, this oasis is also very large. One by one, we were ecstatic and rushed towards the oasis.
At this time, I felt like tears were about to flow out.
There is nothing happier in this world than this, looking at the oasis in front of you. I ran over in a frenzy. Even Duanmu Xuan, who has always been calm, is no exception.
I ran into the river frantically and drank as hard as I could. The water is so sweet that it makes me feel like I'm drinking divine water. It's such a blissful feeling.
"Great, there's finally water." Ye Ruoxue shouted in surprise. Then hurriedly began to irrigate. And so do others.
The carnival lasted for ten minutes before we calmed down. The whole lake is so huge. Especially the water in it is very sweet, I have never drunk such good water.
"I don't have to worry about running out of water to drink, now I'm worried about food. But there must be a lot of beasts here. I said, looking at the oasis. This oasis is logically supposed to have wild deer.
