By the time everyone came back to their senses, the ruined city that had been left in the desert had long been left behind, and I am afraid that it would not be long before it would be covered by sand and dust, leaving no trace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hiiragi also wiped the sweat from his forehead, the previous battle with Sakurashita and Hilda made him almost lose his strength, and finally managed to escape from the ruined city with the help of Tennison; Since the ruined city has been completely destroyed, the traversers who can't find any supplies can only continue on their way to the finish line, hoping to see if they can run into an oasis on the way.

An oasis is like a ticket to paradise, and finding an oasis is half the battle for those who walk through the desert, because no one can complete the marathon without food or water.

Of course, Hiiragi also guessed that there were traversers with super physical enhancement and transformation abilities, but using abilities meant consuming spirit and energy, and who knew if they would run into enemies and be attacked on the way, so traversers with the ability to change didn't dare to use their abilities at will.

Although some people often say, 'How can you win if you are not greedy', but it is just a joke, and in the game and mission that puts your life on the line, everything must be centered on survival.

However, I don't know if it verifies the idiom 'Saiong loses his horse and knows if he is blessed', Hiiragi also joined up with Xiao Nagi and the others, and the group through a sand dune saw a green area not far ahead, which was an oasis......

Hiiragi, Tennison, Herty, Nagi, Lilith and Alice, all six of them breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps they were all tired from the previous incident, so when facing the cradle 'Oasis' in the desert, the heavy mood was reversed a lot.

"Yes, it's Mr. Hiiragi, an oasis!!"

"yes...... Since you can see Hetty, it means it's not a mirage. ”

Hiiragi responded to Hetty's words with a wry smile, while Nagi gently patted Hiiragi's cheek with her hand.

"Xiao also has some hope for the future, don't keep thinking about the worst."

"Isn't the worst to be avoided by thinking about the worst?"

"That's right, I can't deny Koya's point of view...... Compared to this, let's go to the oasis first, it's easy to become a target if you stay here, and there are already traversers in it. ”

As Xiao Nai said this, everyone saw that several traversers had appeared near the oasis, and they cautiously ran into the jungle, and finally disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

"It's still the same arrangement."

Tennison, who was standing at the back of the line, walked to the front row and said.

The arrangement of the team is very simple, that is, Tennison is the leader, Hiiragi is the queen, Lilith is responsible for supporting at all times, and Heti is responsible for protecting Nagi and Ariel.

Hearing Tennison's words, Hiiragi nodded and began to lead the team into action, if too much time is wasted here, it is easy to let the first traverser to enter the oasis create a trap to attack him.

But just when everyone was about to arrive at the oasis, Hiiragi was also pulled by Alice, who stopped in the center of the team, and Hiiragi, whose clothes were pulled, also had to stop, and Tennison, who noticed this situation, did not continue to move forward, and it could be seen that the former mercenary was still quite alert and keen.

"That's not right."

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"That's not right."

Repeating her words, Alice then turned her gaze to Nagi, who was staring at Nagi tilted her head, and then stretched out her right index finger

"It's not true, but Alice-chan, we don't have any other choice."

"So what the hell are you two talking about? Something wrong with this oasis? Something wrong with the traverser inside? Or is there something else wrong? ”

Not only Hiiragi, but even Tennison and Hertie and Lilith didn't understand what Nagi and Alice were talking about.

Seeing that it wasn't just Hiiragi who was puzzled, Xiao Nagi cleared her throat.

"I think it's because you care too much about the relationship between the oasis that you don't pay attention to the situation around you, it's not that there is a problem in any place, but that there are problems in all places, and you can calm down and look around."

Xiao Nagi didn't directly pick out the problem, Hiiragi, who had long been used to it, also looked around, and after scanning the desert, he saw several traversers who were rapidly advancing towards the oasis, and in addition to that, there were rare plants and yellow sand.

Wait a minute...... Sand! This is a desert and an oasis in front of you, so the question is, why are there no cities around this oasis?

Under normal circumstances, people living in the desert would definitely choose to stay with the oasis, but there is no sign of a house or building in the vicinity.

"Maybe it's a new oasis?"

Hiiragi also tried to explain the problem, but it always felt a bit far-fetched.

"Aren't there no oases near the ruined cities we've been in before? The well had long since dried up, and the oasis still looked to be thriving, so the city should have been moved a long time ago, and since it hadn't been, there must have been some other reason. It's just ......"

Xiao Nai continued to say what she said

"Of course, it may just be the arrangement of the Lord God, after all, we have never seen humans in this game world, so we can't use common sense to think about it."

"There are more and more traversers......"

Lilith reminded everyone at this time, which made the timid Hetty immediately hug Hiiragi.

As Lilith said, as time went on, more and more people survived, and their destinations were all this oasis.

Hiiragi also took a general look at the oasis on the sand dunes just now, and found that this oasis should not be small, with a large lake in the center and dense forests on all sides, which is basically impossible to appear; In this way, the possibility of the 'arrangement of the main god' in Xiao Nagi's mouth is even greater.

"Let's hurry up and get in."

Xiao Nagi, who spoke her thoughts, stepped forward, and Alice, who was a little hesitant, also followed Xiao Na into the oasis because she had no choice.

"Mr. Hiiragiya...... Let's not go near the lake yet......"

Lilith, who was ready for battle, made a proposal, after all, a large number of traversers were now heading towards a place where there was water, and if they all gathered for a while, battle and chaos were inevitable.

Nodding, Hiiragi doesn't plan to get involved in the battle in this oasis immediately, what he needs now is to replenish some supplies, and I believe that there will be other resources besides water in the oasis.

After successfully entering the oasis, Hiiragi also felt that it was like a primeval forest, there were not many bushes in the woods, but the trees were very tall. Its branches are intertwined, and the luxuriant branches and leaves that stretch out like turquoise clouds cover the blue sky tightly. The aerial roots emitted from the branches of some trunks and branches are rooted into the ground from mid-air, gradually thickening, and become pillar roots supporting the canopy, forming a strange landscape of a single tree forest; Some of the aerial roots are wound around other trees, growing thicker and thicker, longer and wider, and finally connected and strangled the attached tree.

"How many wild plants do you know?"

Xiao Nagi casually tore off a piece of grass and asked Hiiragi while playing with it in her hand.

"I don't know very well, so it's up to you."

"Let's try 'Little Taste Herbs'!"

"How can I have that kind of free time?"

And Hiiragi doesn't want to use his abilities to eliminate food poisoning......

"Wait......!"

At this point, Tennison stretched out his right hand and motioned for the group to stop.

"Do you hear that?"

Tennison, who was in front of him, asked about anyone other than him, but Hiiragi didn't hear the strange sound, but Lilith, who was in charge of wandering, did.

"Here we are...... Shake ......"

Shock?!

Hiiragi's feet really shook when he thought about this.

"Monsters?!"

Tennison yelled!

The next moment! The ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly shattered! The six men who lost their balance fell into the pit below, and the thing that had caused the commotion no longer coiled itself and began to hunt the 'prey' that had entered the oasis.

"A python made of rock and dirt?!"

Before Hiiragi could confirm its delicate appearance, the python made of weeds, wet soil, rocks, and trees opened its mouth and bit down on everyone. (To be continued.) )
