Chapter 110: Sand Oasis
At first, because the snake venom had not been completely removed, the injuries on the legs and feet of the gray-clothed young man had not yet healed, and his movements would be somewhat affected, and the speed at which the two of them ran was not fast.
An hour later, the remaining snake venom in the gray-clothed boy's body was completely eliminated. By noon, the redness and swelling on the ankle had completely subsided, and everything was back to normal.
On a late autumn afternoon, there are a few light clouds in the sky, and the wide sandy land is still far as the eye can see.
The two of them, who had nothing to say all the way, seemed to be suddenly interested, and they didn't know who started the competition first, Bian Yao and the gray-clothed young man both raised their speed to the limit, and no one had the slightest intention of giving in, and their faces showed excitement.
In this way, the originally quiet and orderly journey inexplicably evolved into a game of chasing again. But on the boundless sand, behind the two galloping figures, billowing sand and dust were raised.
To say that Bian Yao is now an early dreamer, it goes without saying that his strength has been improved. And in terms of the level of the realm, it is also higher than the sword of the gray-clothed boy. On the other hand, the latter, because he was carrying two big burdens and a sword, so when they were offset, the speed of the two at this time had become indistinguishable.
After about two pillars of incense, after a fierce chase, neither of them was able to pull the other down, and finally had to go hand in hand. Before nightfall, they chose a piece of sand on high ground as a place to rest for the night.
As soon as the gray-clothed young man put down his burden and sword, he closed his eyes and sat up on the ground. The cultivation of the sword demon is mainly to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and then condense and transform it into pure sword qi, and store it in the body.
For cultivators, whether it is dream cultivation or sword cultivation, the ability to resist hunger will be enhanced with the improvement of the cultivation realm. As far as the current gray-clothed boy is concerned, he usually eats a little bit every four or five days, which is not the limit.
Since he had just broken through to the realm of Dream Mania, Bian Yao was still intoxicated with deep joy, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the sword cultivator companion beside him. He sat next to him without a squeak, happily eating a few spirit fruits, and did not rush to dream and cultivate, but quietly thought about his own affairs.
Before the dream cultivator cultivated to the dream maniac, when using the "Illusory Dream Shadow", no matter how fast the spell was cast, only one "illusion" would appear at a time. However, after becoming a dream maniac, he can conjure up two or more illusions at once. For example, in the past, Bian Yao could only conjure one stone at a time, but now he can conjure two or more stones at a time.
In this way, after entering the dream mania, the materialization degree of the "illusion" is enhanced, and the number of illusions can also increase, which in turn increases the utility and power of the "virtual illusion".
Generally speaking, the early dreamer can conjure up to six or seven transmogs at a time, up to fifteen in the mid-stage, and more than twenty in the later stage. It should be noted that while Somoniac can emit multiple transmogs at once, in practice, very few people will do so unless it is really necessary. First, the greater the number of illusions, the greater and faster the consumption of spiritual power! The second is that when Meng Xiu used the technique of "Illusory Dream Shadow" before becoming the Dream King, the degree of materialization of the illusion was less than half of the original entity, so the lethality was still very limited.
The crescent moon was rising, and the sky was just getting dark, and the cool night breeze was gently blowing across the dunes.
After pondering for a moment, Bian Yao took out a piece of book from the space bag, and then concentrated on probing his consciousness into it to read. After about the time of tea, he withdrew from the book again, and his face couldn't help but smile.
It's not difficult to conjure up multiple transmolus at the same time, just think of the appearance and number of transfiguration in your mind in turn. Of course, at the beginning, because I was not proficient, if I released too many illusions at a time, the speed of casting "Illusory Illusion" would be affected somewhat.
Bian Yao had already figured out the gist of it, and he decided to do a practice experiment. In order to prevent the stone from making a noise when it lands and attracting something, he chose to transform the flying sword.
Adjust his breathing, close his eyes, and after a short pause, Bian Yao raised his finger and swung it forward.
In an instant, two flying swords burst into the air and flew straight ahead, and soon disappeared again......
The next morning, Bian Yao and the gray-clothed boy were on their way when an extremely strong dragon whirlwind suddenly struck from the east, and the rolled up sand and gravel danced all over the sky, completely obscuring the sky. In the midst of a storm of winds and sandstorms with very low visibility, they lost their way and ran all the way northwest with their faces buried.
After running for more than an hour, it was not until late afternoon that the two escaped from the ravaging area of the dragon whirlwind, and exhausted themselves ran up a sand dune to rest.
When they reached the top of the mound, they sat down almost together, leaning back on the sand, gasping for air.
Here and now, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and time passes quietly.
"We seem to be going in the wrong direction. Bian Yao muttered and turned his head sideways to look at the sky, a beam of sunlight stabbed into his eyes, and he quickly narrowed his eyes.
"It's not too far anyway, just turn around and continue south. The gray-clothed young man put his head on the pillow with his hands on his head, looking up intently at the endless sky.
After a short period of silence, Bian Yao suddenly stood up, crossed his hands on his hips, and stood looking at the sky in the distance.
"Huh, what's that?" When Bian Yao cast his gaze to a certain place in the southwest direction, his face suddenly froze, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly, and hurriedly beckoned: "Hey! ”
The gray-clothed young man rolled his eyes and glanced at Bian Yao, then jumped up from the sand and stared in the direction he was pointing. Far away to the southwest, there was a faint touch of dark color in the sand yellow, which was obviously different from the color of the sand.
"It's too far away to see it! The gray-clothed young man looked at it silently for a while, and a little curiosity appeared on his face.
Without further ado, the two hurried down to the top of the hill and hurried all the way to the southwest.
As the distance narrowed, the original small dark outline in the line of sight gradually became larger and clearer. Half an hour later, Bian Yao and the gray-clothed young man stopped in front of a hollow within a radius of several miles, and the scene in front of them clearly came into view, and the eyebrows of the two couldn't help but float with joy.
It's a veritable oasis in the middle of the sands. In the outermost part of the hollow, tall and verdant trees grow in the hollow, and you can see more beautiful flowers and lush grass, and you can even hear birdsong from them. Although it was late autumn, this oasis still exuded an unusual vitality.
Stepping over the sparse sand and through the tall and low trees, the faces of the two teenagers were full of surprise, and they moved slowly forward with their mouths open, looking here and there. When they came to the center of the oasis, they found a water source, a circular pool about three feet in diameter, the water was very clear but bottomless.
Out of novelty, the two of them circled the waterhole, and the look on their faces clearly left the mind of hurrying behind. Suddenly, Bian Yao stretched out his hand and pointed at the water, and shouted in surprise: "Look! there's a fish there!"
Following the direction he pointed, he saw a silver-gray wild fish about six inches long on the surface of the pool, swinging its tail and swimming leisurely, and slowly approaching the edge of the pool.
The gray-clothed young man naturally saw it, he stared at the water with cold eyes, put down his burden silently, and gently lifted the sword cloth, and then carefully pulled out the simple sword.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed! Seeing the gray-clothed young man holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, the blade of the sword had already pierced into the water diagonally, and there was almost no splash.
The gray-clothed young man raised his wrist and picked up the sword in the water, and the silver-gray wild fish slipped off the tip of the sword, fell on the grass by the waterhole, and writhed his body and jumped up.
Seeing this, Bian Yao hurriedly ran over and squatted down, reached out and grabbed the live fish, and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing here?"
"Grill it and eat it, and see how the fish tastes here!" the gray-clothed boy dropped two sentences, and walked along the shore of the waterhole, continuing to look for his target.
Bian Yao was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then grinned again, "Then I'll go find some wood fire!" he volunteered to shout, and at the same time threw down the fish in his hand, and ran to the neighborhood to look for dry wood with a smile on his face......
It was still early in the morning, and it would take almost an hour for the sun to set.
Under a big green tree with dense foliage, Bian Yao and the gray-clothed young man sat quietly against the trunk with their eyes wide open. Not far away, a pile of wood was "crackling" and burning, and three large silver-gray wild fish were dressed in wooden branches, sprinkled with salt and some other seasonings, and grilled diagonally above the fire.
There was not much time, and the smell of fish and meat wafted in the air, mixed with the fragrance of spices, and rushed towards the two people under the tree.
At that moment, a thin green tongue, more than a foot long, flashed above the fire like an electric switch! In the blink of an eye, a large wild fish that had just been roasted disappeared.
Almost at the same moment, the two teenagers suddenly jumped up from under the tree, each with a sword in hand, and shook their heads vigilantly to look at the grass beside them.
I saw a giant sand lizard with a gray-green back lying there, its large pupils protruding, about seven feet long between its head and tail. Seeing that its cheeks twitched a few times, it suddenly let out a "grunt" in its throat, as if it had swallowed something.
Obviously, the "fish thief" is this big sand lizard that quietly appeared, probably attracted by the fragrance of the fish.
When the delicacy was ripe, he was actually snatched by this beast in front of him, Bian Yao's face turned red, he suddenly raised his finger and waved it forward, and saw three sharp swords fly out of thin air in an instant, stabbing towards the big sand lizard in the grass.
As soon as Bian Yao raised his finger, it turned around, flew on all fours and rushed into the distance, and in the blink of an eye, it escaped into the bushes.
The two watched coldly as the sand lizard fled, but did not set off to chase after it, even if it was useless to kill it, it was impossible to cut open its belly and take out the fish to eat again. Luckily, there were two left, otherwise the two of them would have chased after it and slashed it to vent their hatred.
This is an unexpected episode, a little annoying but helpless.
"Go eat it, don't get robbed again!" said the gray-clad boy suddenly, then turned and walked to the fire, picked up a skewer of grilled fish, and sat down under the tree to enjoy it to himself.
"I could have eaten half a stick, but now I can only eat one. Bian Yao walked over to the fire and picked up the remaining grilled fish, thinking sullenly.
After a few steps, he came to the side of the gray-clothed young man and sat down, and Bian Yao opened his mouth and gently bit a piece of fish back meat, chewing it a few times. The skin is slightly charred and crispy, the meat inside is delicious and white, and the mouth is even more fragrant, and he nodded with satisfaction.
"Do you have any wine, give me a jar!" said the gray-clothed young man coldly.
Bian Yao smiled when he heard the words, hurriedly took out a jar of spirit fruit wine and handed it to him, and opened an altar himself. The two of them just sat under the tree, enjoying a sip of wine and fish, completely forgetting the time and the hurry.
In the sand oasis, under the green trees, this picnic lasted nearly half an hour before it ended. When the jar is empty, the sun begins to dip to the west, and the colorful sunset gradually flies out.
The two of them planned to spend the night here and leave tomorrow, and it was much more comfortable to lie on the soft grass than on the sand. The drunken two reclined on the trunk of the tree, half-open and half-closed eyes, quietly staring at the sky where the first shining stars appeared, welcoming the twilight.
