Chapter 588: Set sail again
As dusk approached, the sky was stained with a gentle orange-red sunset, reflecting the only oasis in the desert. At this moment, the oasis seems to be a mysterious paradise in this endless desert, providing a peaceful haven for Ye Ning, Li Yishuang and the Lion King.
Past events, whether it's the sudden appearance of the hounds or those hidden traps, have caused them a great deal of stress and attrition. But at this moment, after a day of adventure and challenges, the three finally got a rare rest. With the hounds disappearing and traps revealed, there is no longer a clear threat to the area, allowing them to let their guard down for a while and truly relax.
And the lion king is the biggest winner, he indirectly got rid of the hunting dogs who were very threatening to him and planned to do wrong. It's kind of crooked.
Ye Ning and Li Yishuang chose a soft place, leaning against a tall tree, and the shade under the tree made them quickly fall asleep. The Lion King chose to sit beside them, as a guardian, he closed his eyes slightly, but still maintained a trace of alertness, ready to face any sudden situation.
The surroundings are remarkably tranquil, with the murmuring of the brook in the oasis, the melodious sound of water, and the sound of insects and leaves rustling in the evening breeze. The lion king's hair swayed gently in the breeze, giving it a serene and serene look.
As the night deepens, stars appear in the sky, illuminating this oasis in the desert. And in this quiet night, Ye Ning, Li Yishuang and the Lion King entered a dream in the oasis, looking for a night of peace and rest.
During the time he went first, Ye Ning went through the trials of life and death, licking blood under the scythe of death again and again to survive. In that terrifying spider forest, under the eerie shadows of the trees, unknown poisonous spiders hide like ghosts, their fangs close at hand. Ye Ning was in the depths of this desperate dense forest, feeling the breath of death. Ye Ning dreamed of that scene this night, his skin was covered with cold beads of sweat, as if the toxin was about to erode his life.
In the process of walking through the endless spider forest, Ye Ning may touch the spider silk with deadly toxin at every step, and under the bite of the new woman spider, his skin is hot, his eyes are bloodshot, and his vitality is passing little by little.
Ye Ning woke up in his dream, wiped a handful of sweat, and then fell asleep, while the dream continued.
Then there is the Hound Desert, where deadly traps hide in the endless sea of sand. When Ye Ning stepped into the seemingly calm sand, suddenly, the ground was like a beast's maw, trying to devour him.
There was a hidden mechanism in the sand, and the sand kept pouring in from all directions, and in his dreams, it almost suffocated him to death again and again, and the cold sweat mixed with the taste of despair seemed to be carved into his soul.
In reality, he felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and every breath seemed to suck his life away, and the sand particles invaded every pore like a ghost, making him feel unprecedented fear.
When Ye Ning woke up again, and when he fell asleep again, it was a series of escapes from death in the nuclear radiation city that made Ye Ning deeply realize that this world is not a strong person who can run rampant. Even if his strength has reached an impressive level, those seemingly insignificant little things and small creatures can still easily take his life.
Ye Ning was awake again, he understood that this was the Star Soul reminding Ye Ning in his own way, telling Ye Ning to be cautious and not careless. Even if the strength is invincible, people are not invincible.
Since then, Ye Ning has completely changed his previous attitude of pride and complacency. He seemed to have returned to the days when he first stepped into this world, when he was weak and had nothing. He has learned to observe everything around him with a sharper eye, and to perceive every movement in the environment with a more delicate mind. He no longer shows his edge easily, but hides his light, becoming more low-key and discreet.
After Ye Ning passed by the Grim Reaper twice, he deeply realized that although he was powerful, there were still many unknown crises hidden in the world. The pride and complacency that he had used to be like a bubble bursting at this moment, he became cautious again, as if he had returned to the time when he had first entered cultivation, every step was cautious, his mind was full of emotions, as if thousands of thoughts were tangled together, and his eyes changed
Be sharper, always vigilant around you.
Ye Ning became more steady, and he learned to always be vigilant against possible dangers around him. For every adventure, he prepares himself in advance, considering every eventuality in detail. He knew that in this continent full of unknowns, only by maintaining this state could he go further.
Although Li Yishuang did not have such a dream, in the deep dream-like spider forest, every ancient tree was entwined with white cobwebs, as if time was trapped here and isolated from the world. Immediately afterward, they stepped into the city contaminated by nuclear radiation, and every part of it was filled with dead silence and despair. When they came to the Hound Desert, the yellow sand came rushing to their faces, and the trap almost took their lives.
In this series of events, Li Yishuang deeply experienced the difficulty of fighting side by side with Ye Ning. Ye Ning, that man of extraordinary strength and almost invincible, sometimes seemed so fragile and helpless.
She saw Ye Ning's strong side, and also saw his rare vulnerability. This vulnerability is not weakness, but a kind of exhaustion that has endured too much and experienced too much. Li Yishuang understands that Ye Ning needs not only a partner who can be relied on, but also someone who can share all this with him.
So, Li Yishuang made up her mind that she wanted to become stronger, not only for herself, but also for being able to fight side by side with Ye Ning. She has to learn to be independent, to have the ability to protect herself, and to be Ye Ning's strength in times of crisis.
As the overlord of the forest, the lion king has always been a proud and confident existence. His golden mane hung like a crown on top of his head, and the dignity and majesty flowed from him, subjugating countless creatures. And in his eyes, Ye Ning was just an outsider, a traveler stronger than him, but it did not touch the awe in his heart, but instead angered his dignity as a predator.
Although the Lion King had led the way for Ye Ning, there was still a trace of disdain and resistance hidden in his heart. Everything he does is more out of consideration for profit than sincere obedience. He just wanted to use Ye Ning's power to help him sweep away all the factors that were unfavorable to him on the way to rule, unless his life was in danger, the Lion King never did it.
However, everything changed in that heart-wrenching moment.
It was a hound desert, and the power of nature was surging around Ye Ning, as if he had been summoned by some kind. Ye Ning stood there, surrounded by a swirling storm, thunder and lightning leaping in the sky, howling in the wind, and the power of the earth seemed to converge under his feet, as if the entire desert had surrendered to him. The scene of lightning slashing the dogs to death was like a miracle that shook the conceited lion king.
At that moment, the depths of the Lion King's heart trembled like never before. There was a hint of wavering, even awe, in his usually cold and unforgiving lion's eyes. For the first time, he felt that the human in front of him was different, and he and the true messenger of the power of nature of the owl Ao Bing could easily kill him. And Ye Ning came here, he must have been instructed by nature.
From that day on, the Lion King's attitude towards Ye Ning changed drastically. He is no longer the king of the forest who is lucky and wants to take advantage of Ye Ning. Instead, he became more sincere, even willingly leading Ye Ning through that mysterious and dangerous land. There was no longer any previous provocation and disbelief in his eyes, but a kind of trust and respect that bordered on piety.
When the morning glow of the next day overflowed from the eastern skyline, the Lion King, the overlord of the grassland, took the initiative to stand in front of Ye Ning and Li Yishuang with unprecedented enthusiasm. His golden mane stood out in the early morning sun, revealing a majesty that could not be desecrated. Ye Ning and Li Yishuang looked at this arrogant creature and saw the other side of it today, which was the excitement and anticipation of the unknown journey.
The three of them walked resolutely, and the Lion King led them quickly through the wide hound desert in the hot sun. The desert that should have been in danger seemed so peaceful at the moment, because the hounds had been slaughtered by Ye Ning and no longer appeared, only golden sand and rolling sand dunes, as if to show them the vastness and desolation of this land.
But all of this was quickly a thing of the past, and when they stepped out of the desert, they were greeted by a stunning forest
。 It wasn't any forest they'd seen before, as each tree announced its presence to the world with its massive body and majestic height. They are so tall, so stout, as if they were a miracle given by nature. Each tree is almost twice as tall as an ordinary tree, with a rugged trunk with weather-beaten wrinkles. Their canopy is like a sea of green, layered, lush and luxuriant.
Li Yishuang looked up at these trees, her slightly open cherry lips showed surprise, and her eyes seemed to be attracted by this mysterious forest, deeply immersed in it. Ye Ning, on the other hand, felt the vitality emanating from this forest, which was a vigorous and churning vitality, as if telling them that this was a vibrant world.
Because, Ye Ning felt an extremely large ability in this forest.
