Chapter 285: A Strange Oasis
The three of us have not closed our eyes for a day and a night, and we have been exhausted from fighting with Jin Buliu, Wei Shengjin has been driving again, and Ye Guangci and I have injuries on our bodies, so we decided to park the car next to a sand dune, and rest for a while the sun has not yet come out and the temperature has not risen.
Not long after the car stopped, we fell asleep groggily, and we were so tired.
I don't know how long I slept, I was suddenly woken up by a banging sound, I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw that someone outside the car was knocking on the window, I sat up and took a closer look, it turned out to be Ye Lingwen, I couldn't help but be ecstatic, and quickly opened the window.
Ye Guangci and Wei Shengjin were also woken up at this time, and they were also very happy to see Ye Lingwen come back safe and sound.
I saw that Ye Lingwen was covered in sand, but it didn't seem to be injured or dehydrated, and I suddenly felt really lucky.
She got lost, and after a day and a night, there was a black sandstorm yesterday, and I don't know how she found us. God forbid.
"Spirit Pattern, are you alright? How did you find us? Wei Shengjin asked.
"It's okay! Don't worry, it's not like I got lost when I went to look for you yesterday, I thought I was going to die this time, but I didn't expect to meet you because I shouldn't have met you" Ye Lingwen said with a lingering palpitation.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay! Come and drink some water! Ye Guangci said and handed the kettle to Ye Lingwen.
Ye Lingwen took the kettle, covered the kettle again, and said, "Fortunately, I accidentally found an oasis last night, and there is a small lake in it that is full of fresh water. Let's go check it out, it's not far from here. ”
When we heard Lingwen say this, we all felt happy, now that there was one more person, there was not much water in our car. If we can find a source of water, we will solve a big problem.
So under the guidance of Ye Lingwen, we drove off to find the oasis she said.
The car drove for more than half an hour, the sky was already bright, and the yellow sand was still long along the way, and there was no oasis to be seen.
I became more and more worried: although the off-road vehicle could not drive fast in the desert, how could I have run 30 kilometers in this half hour, why did I not see the oasis, didn't she say that it was not far? Don't be this stupid girl who is blindly directing and going the wrong way!
I was about to ask what happened to Ye Lingwen in the front row, when I heard her point ahead and shout, "Look! ”
I looked through the window of the car, and sure enough, a touch of green appeared in my field of vision, which stood out against the background of the yellow sand.
Wei Shengjin shouted with joy: Fuck! At least you won't die of thirst, maybe there are fish in the lake!
I also felt a lot less pain in my back. This has been lost in the desert since ancient times, and most people are dying of thirst. A person can go seven days without food, but he cannot go seven days without water.
We drove directly into the oasis, and as Lingwen said, there was indeed a lake in it, the water of the lake was very clear, and the area was not small, estimated to be twenty or thirty hectares, and along the edge of the lake there was a circle of sand dates, poplars, and some low shrubs that could not be named. I dipped some water in my mouth and tried it, it was cold in the mouth and a little astringent, but it should be fresh water to drink.
Wei Shengjin jumped into the lake like crazy as soon as he got out of the car, and I squatted on the edge of the lake to scoop water and wash my face.
As soon as the cold lake water splashed on his face, he suddenly shivered, and his mind cleared up a lot.
At this time, Ye Guangci walked to my side and also squatted down to scoop water and wash his face.
"This water is very clear and a little astringent, so it should be no problem to drink it!" I said to him.
Ye Guangci ignored me, but a sentence came out that made me inexplicable: "Do you think there is something wrong with the spirit pattern?" ”
My heart suddenly tightened, I looked at Ye Lingwen who was standing not far away, and said softly, "What do you mean?" What could be wrong with her? ”
"Yesterday's black sandstorm was so powerful, how did she escape it alone? If she escaped the Black Sandstorm because she found this oasis, why didn't she mention it to us? And we found this place for about half an hour, which means that it is at least 30 kilometers from this oasis to the place where she just met us, and if she walks alone, it will take five or six hours, even if she doesn't take a detour, then she has to start from this morning! But she just said that this lake is not far from us! ”
The more I listened, the more frightened I became, I didn't think about it in this regard, but after Ye Guangci said this, I also felt that it was indeed very strange.
"Maybe she was frightened alone, don't tell Wei Shengjin first, let's pay more attention to it," I whispered to Ye Guangci.
At this time, Ye Lingwen walked towards us. I suddenly remembered one thing, that is, my flying knife, when Ye Lingwen was leaving, I gave her my flying knife to defend herself, it stands to reason that the flying knife should still be on her.
"Spirit Pattern, my throwing knife is still with you, right? Wei Shengjin has already retrieved your throwing knife, and it's in the car," I asked her tentatively.
"Oh! That's great, I'll give you your throwing knife, it's not that you said I forgot" Then she pulled the Nether Knife out of her back pocket and handed it to me.
I took the flying knife in my hand and looked at it, if it was my knife, I would try it secretly, but this flying knife is definitely a nether knife, and it can't be wrong.
It seems that Ye Guangci is too worried.
"Let's park our car here and walk along the lake, maybe we can find something!" Ye Lingwen said to me and Ye Guangci.
I nodded.
Wei Shengjin was still happy in the lake, so the three of us walked along the lake, hoping to find Qin Yinian's traces. After all, people in the desert always want to find water.
There are quite a lot of trees growing around the lake, and there are even insects in some places, which reassures me that the water here should be safe.
After walking around and getting nothing, now we have to hurry, but I really don't know what to do when I am trapped in this sea of sand, and I really don't know what to do when I think of Jin Buliu's terrifying superpowers.
Just when I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Wei Shengjin's cry for help, "Help!" Help me! ”
"Quick! Something happened! I shouted as I ran towards the lake.
Ran to the place where Wei Shengjin took a bath and took a look, my God! A huge scorpion, shaped like a family car, was dragging Wei Shengjin's legs into the water, its curved tail spines were like a large antenna standing up high, the end was bent into a half circle, and the dark stinger at the end of the tail shone in the sun.
"Go to the car and find the throwing knife!" I shouted as I threw my throwing knife, and a blue light shot up into the sky, shooting straight at the giant scorpion's body.
The flying knife disappeared before it entered the scorpion's back, it should have penetrated into it, the scorpion was estimated to have been stung, let out a strange scream, came out of the water again, rushed towards me, I was shocked, and I didn't care about the flying knife, flew to the side to dodge, the scorpion like a giant scissor-like pliers, grazed my back and slid over, I didn't stand firm, the thigh-thick tail thorn fell from the sky and stabbed me, I screamed and rolled on the spot a donkey and narrowly let go.
At this time, two blue lights flew up behind me one after another, heading straight for the scorpion, the scorpion was overwhelmed for a while, leaving me and retreating again and again, but his pliers never let go of Wei Shengjin, and Wei Shengjin howled in pain like killing a pig.
I was in a hurry, taking advantage of the scorpion's kung fu to deal with Ye Lingwen and Ye Guangci, I jumped up and jumped on the back of the giant scorpion, this scorpion is really fierce, with Wei Shengjin on the pliers, carrying me on my back, still with Ye Lingwen Ye Guangci does not fall into the wind, I lay on its back and clasped his armor with both hands, although I was not thrown off for a while, but I turned dizzy, and I didn't know what to do for a while.
"Watch the back!" Ye Guangci suddenly shouted.
I turned my head to see that the swarthy stinger had overwhelmed the back of my head, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly let go of my hands and hugged its tail tightly, so that although it couldn't stab me, the scorpion's tail seemed to be infinitely powerful, and threw me around in mid-air, I wanted to slow down its movements, desperately holding the giant scorpion's fluffy tail and not letting go.
"Hit it with a car, hit it with a car," I yelled.
