Chapter 104: The Princess of Eden (1)
In June, the climate enters summer, and the Mirage Desert, the largest of the three northern regions, begins to show its most terrifying fangs - temperature. When the sun hangs in the sky, it is a volcano, and when the moon rises, it becomes a glacier.
This kind of ice and fire naturally existed in the past, but in summer and winter, it can really be called hell. Due to last winter's experience, almost all players have evacuated early.
However, NPCs, monsters and other system creations still have to continue to survive in this land set by the system as a "generation" of life.
"Eden", the largest oasis in the entire desert, alone supports the living water of all the living beings around it.
At noon, when the sun was at its hottest, countless figures gathered in groups from all directions. They abandon it for a moment, and the notion of prey, hunter, and predator drinks on the edge of the lake, and then rests in the shade under the few woody plants that can be connected.
Shatuo Donkey, Sand Fox Wolf, Earth Vulture, Lone Wolf Leopard, Sand Worm, and NPC's Water Carrier.
This procession of dozens of people and dozens of camel wagons came from the village of Eden, which was three hours away. Here, they fill truckloads of vats with water and transport them back to the village, which is their daily job.
However, there was a little accident today, and the reason was a teenager named "Pusla". It was the first time he had done this job today, and when he saw a large field of beasts in the distance, especially the huge body of the sand worm, he immediately stopped in fright.
The whole convoy was also temporarily stopped on the low sand dunes because he was alone.
The leader of the group, a forty-five-year-old man known as "Old Pound", was enlightening Puszla.
"Don't worry, don't look at the fact that there are so many guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, but now it's safer than usually bumping into them. At this time, near this oasis, they don't have the strength to attack us. ”
Despite hearing the explanation, Pusra shook her head without speaking. Old Pound was a little angry.
"I said that although you are small, you are also a man, can you show some courage!"
Pusra shook her head in silence.
"Well, you can stay here by yourself!" said to old Pound, in a fit of rage, and said "Let's go," and ran back to the front of the queue in a rage.
He couldn't just accommodate the young man. Otherwise, when this time passes, the whole group of them will be in danger.
After the nap, it is just the time when the beasts are hungry in their bellies and start to feed, and everything else can be avoided with the flow of the beasts, but the sand worm is not ordinary.
This large carnivorous insect with a minimum length of six meters does not go on a killing spree next to the oasis so as not to make all the carnivorous monsters into a pot. But it will be one step ahead of any other monster, sneaking under the sand and pretending to leave, but in fact it will follow its target and pounce on the other predators as soon as they are far enough away.
Therefore, they must finish the work of loading water before the worms are rested, and go first. Everyone else understood this, so they had to leave Pusla alone and move on.
The water crew quickly spotted a gap in the lake. The team members, who had experienced the heat and heat along the way, were first excited to have a good time, and then immediately put themselves into work.
Although the elder Pound is the team leader, he is still as hands-on as everyone else. He stood by the lake and worked, and inadvertently looked back, and saw the figure of Pusla on the sand dunes not far away.
It was also at this time that a mutation suddenly occurred.
"Whoa!"
A deafening howl of a bird of prey descended from the sky, enveloping all of Eden.
Suddenly, all the creatures cast their eyes towards the Nine Heavens in astonishment, and Old Pound and them were no exception.
As a result of the gaze, a shadow like a goshawk gradually became bigger and clearer. It was a huge, fiery red immortal bird.
In the midst of the horror, the water bag in the old Pound's hand fell to the ground, and clear water flowed out of the uncovered opening.
"Phoenix!Why is the Third Apostle who never landed ...... now?"
After muttering a word, he suddenly realized that there was a good chance that something would happen next.
"Run!"
He waved vigorously and shouted at his companion beside him. But it was already too late.
The fire poured down from directly above the Oasis of Eden, engulfing everything in an instant.
......
At dusk, behind the dunes, a slender girl with brown skin and a slender figure lurked, the temperature had begun to drop rapidly, but she was still dressed in a clothing that resembled an Amazonian warrior with less fabric and high exposure.
With a longbow on her back and a quiver full of arrows around her waist, she appears to be a hunter. And her target now is a ground lizard on the other side of the hill.
The girl also knew that this was not a good time to hunt, especially for a creature as small as a ground lizard. But my father has been sick for a long time, and today I finally have a bit of an appetite, and she really wants my father to eat something good.
Thinking in her heart that she must succeed, the girl stretched out her bow and arrows, slowly got up and aimed at the lizard in the distance.
"Barrett, Barrett!" the girl was about to shoot her bow when a loud call came from behind.
The moment it heard the movement, the ground lizard immediately ran up with its two sturdy hind limbs, and disappeared in an instant.
Seeing that the prey she had been staring at for a long time ran away, the girl couldn't help but turn around angrily and look at the daredevil, who called her name. It was her childhood sweetheart's playmate, a teenager of the same age, Arreas.
"What are you doing! I almost got it!" Barriet roared, startling Arreas who was coming with a fur cloak.
"What, what's wrong?"
"I originally wanted to catch a ground lizard to make soup for my father, but now it's okay, I'm scared away by your throat!"
Hearing this, Arreas smirked a few times.
"Hehe, I thought something was wrong. If you want a lizard, you can just take it from our house, so why do it yourself? Besides, you can't shoot it. You better focus on how to be a good village chief, and don't worry about the work of us hunters. ”
Hearing Arreas say this, Barriet became even more angry, she rushed in front of the other party in a few steps, and her momentum was very aggressive!
"I'm just going to be a hunter, what can you do with me?"
"I ......," Arreas couldn't help but laugh, "your father is the village chief, and you should be the village chief." My dad was a hunter, so I should be a hunter. ”
"Humph!" After that, Barriet snatched the wool cloak and wrapped it around her body, and she felt a little cold. "My dad is the village head, so I have to continue to be the village head, why!"
"Look at what you said, the son inherits the father's business, and no change is allowed, this is the rule of the whole world. ”
"Who decided it?"
"Who ......" was dumbfounded when Arreaston was asked. Although this rule has been passed down from generation to generation, no one knows who made it. "It doesn't matter who decides. I think it's good. ”
"But I don't think so. My future should be up to me. ”
"So...... You're not going to marry Lasius, are you?" asked Arreas tentatively.
"Of course. ”
"Then look at me......"
"When I've mastered my bows, I'll leave here and travel, and be an adventurer like those nobles. ”
"What nonsense? Arreas scoffed, "The nobles are not like us, I heard that one of them is a child younger than me who can throw a worm of this size from the first level of the pyramid to the top with its tail. ”
Seeing Arreas like this, Barriet gritted her teeth, destined to be angry with the other party.
"Don't look down on people! Maybe I'll marry a nobleman in the future!"
"Hey, you're just over the hook. ”
Barriet glared at Arreas angrily, but she really didn't know how to refute him, she couldn't find a nobleman to marry tomorrow, right?
"Hmph!" In desperation, she only turned her head. "What the hell are you here for?"
"Oops!" Hearing this, Arreas slapped his head and shouted, "How did I forget! Barrett, your mother told me to call you back quickly, something big happened in the village!"
"Big deal?" said Barrett's heart, "What's the big deal!"
"I don't know the specifics, but it seems that Daddy Pound had an accident!"
Hearing this, Barrett's face became completely frightened, and she immediately ran in the direction of the village.
