"Yes, my lord."

"You're not right."

Lelupal didn't know when she had woken up.

I heard her voice say in a somewhat gloomy voice: "My child has become what he is now, and it is all my iniquity. ”

Lin Feng frowned after hearing this.

The spirit in the power constructor was made by Lelupal?

Before they could ask, Lilupal added, "My lord, the canyon ahead is a tunnel to the base of the Eternal Oasis, and you need to be careful of the threat from underground. ”

"Sandworms?"

"Yes, my lord."

As soon as Lilupal's words fell, Lin Feng noticed something unusual underground.

Then, Eula senses the threat from the sandworms.

But that's limited to threats.

This sandworm wandering nearby, Lin Feng only stomped his foot slightly, and then fled at an extremely fast speed like a frightened bird.

"O sons of Apepe, they have fallen to the point where they are now."

Lilupal also felt the horror of the sandworm and couldn't help but sigh.

"Apepe?"

Lin Feng seems to have heard this name somewhere, and he is a little familiar, but he can't remember it.

He thought about it, but he couldn't remember.

Regarding Lin Feng's doubts, Lilupal simply stopped talking, and even the bottle that had just lit up darkened again.

“.”

"Is this a forbidden name?"

"The real name of the Red King?"

"That's not right."

"The Red King's real name is Amon, this point has been personally certified by the Ice Empress, there can be no mistake."

"And who is Apep?"

"Could it be another demon god who has fallen in the desert?"

Lin Feng stared at Lilupal for a long time, and when he saw that she was still pretending to be asleep there, he shook his head and left the question behind.

He was no stranger to sandworms.

Not to mention that he had pinched several of them to death in the desert before.

Even the Tanit tribe has a team of hunters who specialize in killing sandworms.

In their parlance.

Sandworms are full of treasures.

Sandworm pupae are a favorite scent marker for hunters to avoid getting lost in secluded caves or intricate ruins.

The body fat of adult sandworms is a very popular spice in rainforest areas.

Unlike the desert people, who need to keep their bodies smelling the same as the desert at all times, the people of Sumeru City are particularly fond of the spices that smell strong and spicy, and are very willing to buy them at a high price, and they can also use this spice to barter for something useful for the tribe.

In addition, hunting sandworms is not a dangerous job.

Over time, this became a very important entry for the Tanit tribe.

It is unlikely that such a creature, which can only pose a threat to ordinary people, is unlikely to be the heir of a god.

Putting aside the problem of sandworms.

Lin Feng and they continued to move forward.

The closer you get to the Grand Canyon that Lillopal is talking about, the more monsters will appear here.

At the same time, more and more human bones are appearing here.

Such an atmosphere of disappearing people.

Seeing that Collei's eyelids jumped, he couldn't help hiding behind Eula, clutching her clothes tightly and not daring to let go, and only then did he dare to sneak a glance outside.

Most of the monsters on this must path are some mushroom beasts.

It looks like a mushroom has become a sperm.

But alas, it can't be eaten.

Lin Feng didn't bother to kill them, so he simply urged the power of the demon god and used the terrifying aura of the demon god to scare all these monsters away.

That's it.

They made their way to the Grand Canyon unhindered.

This time, it was no longer sandworms and monsters that stood in their way, but a sandstorm that covered the entire canyon.

Unlike the storms that blow in the wide plains, the storms in the canyon are noticeably stronger and more violent.

The whistling and whimpering roars were mixed with the breathtaking roars of beasts.

"This one is a bit of a hassle."

Lin Feng spread his hands.

He can drive out monsters, kill mercenaries who block the road and rob, and can do many things, but there is nothing he can do about this kind of natural disaster.

It's not something that can be solved by manpower.

Although the Sandstorm was not a threat to him and Eula, it had been mentioned before that they didn't like the feeling of being covered in dust after a Sandstorm.

"The sandstorm won't last long anyway, so let's just wait outside for a while."

Eula suggested, taking a look around to see if there were any caves where she could rest.

That's when it happened.

Lilupal, who had been pretending to be asleep for a long time, spoke again: "Don't worry, my lord, I'll keep you through here safely. ”

"Are you awake?"

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and teased.

Lelupal didn't show any embarrassment, and said in the same tone, "Well, wake up, now my strength is strong enough to protect my adults through this sandstorm area." ”

said.

The light on Lilupal's body became brighter and brighter, and in an instant, it turned into a thin curtain of light, enveloping Lin Feng and the three of them together.

The wind and sand that were raging in the Grand Canyon would dissipate as soon as they encountered this light curtain, and they couldn't get closer to Lin Feng.

"It's amazing."

Collei reached out curiously and poked at the light curtain.

Different from the imaginary layer of real light curtain, her finger stretched out at once, and then she whispered: "Hey, this is really a light." ”

"Otherwise, desert—"

"Huh?"

Lillopal was about to habitually scold Collei when he was stopped by Lin Feng's stern eyes.

She had to change her words: "Hmph, ignorance, this is the power given to me by the great master of the flower, and a mortal like you naturally can't understand it." ”

A little polite, but not much.

Lin Feng didn't bother to correct the tone of her speech anymore.

When she had left the Tanit tribe before, Lilupal had spoken of her grievances with the desert people.

Especially when it comes to Olmaz, who has betrayed her oath, the brilliant golden petals of her bottle turn a blinding crimson.

And she was the queen of the city of Güell herself.

Whether it was the dependent of the god of flowers, the servant of the Red King, or the later status of the queen of Gul City, these were enough for her to form a natural sense of superiority over the desert people.

It's natural to look down on Collei and look down on it.

Lin Feng has tried his best to make her no longer scold Collei when she is fine, and he can't let her change her mind overnight and completely change her disdain for the desert people in her bones.

Protected by Lillopal.

Lin Feng and the others successfully passed through the sandstorm and came to the pedestal tunnel mentioned by Assalig.

And just as soon as I arrived.

First of all, there were a few broken and crumbling tents, then a few corpses that had just died, and the flesh was still fresh, and a few beasts that had not yet emerged were tearing at these corpses, gnawing them everywhere with potholes and internal organs.

"Spies of the Tanit tribe."

Looking at their clothes and the style of this tent, Lin Feng could see the identity of these corpses at a glance.

Floating in the sky, Lelupar mocked: "Greedy and ignorant human beings, who have tried in vain to break into the garden of the Great Master, are now reaping the consequences. ”

Eula and Collei looked a little disgusted, and twisted their heads to the side, no longer looking into the tent.

On the way to the next.

There are many camps like this, and you can see one almost every few hundred meters away.

Without exception.

It's all abandoned camps.

Out of curiosity, Lin Feng lifted a tent in a camp.

How to describe it.

The inside was so clean, so clean that even the rats had to cry when they came.

However, Lin Feng's eyesight was very good, and at a glance, he could see that something seemed to be buried under the yellow sand.

With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind blew away the sand and dust covering it, revealing a book with ordinary skin.

This is a record along the way by the Tanit Tribe Exploration Team.

Lin Feng casually flipped through it, and he roughly understood what had happened here.

To summarize it briefly.

That is, the people of the Tanit tribe were ordered by Babel, who was an elder at the time, to come here to find a way to the eternal oasis.

At the beginning.

The people of the exploration team were indeed enthusiastic and energetic under Babel's passionate speeches and paintings.

But the monsters and sandworms hovering here are not very welcome.

Over time, the exploration team suffered heavy losses.

Worse.

Due to the sudden and long-lasting storm in the canyon, the only transportation route was cut off.

Thus deprived of supplies, the team had to risk hunting in the storm.

However, none of the hunting parties sent out returned.

Lacking food and drink, the exploration team had to slaughter the pack beasts that traveled on their behalf, and even went to capture the monsters in the canyon to eat.

But the flesh and blood of monsters are something that ordinary people can eat.

The Tanites, who had eaten the flesh of the monsters, soon died in a frenzy.

No food, no water, no way home.

The rest of the exploration team had to bite the bill and move on.

Leave all the hope of survival to the legendary hostess of the oasis.

It was recorded up to this time.

Lin Feng was already able to empathize with the change in the mentality of these Tanit people.

In the beginning.

The record reads, "Your Majesty the God of Flowers, may you bless us with a smooth journey. 】

to later.

The record later became, "Your Majesty the God of Flowers, if you are still here, please answer the prayers of the forsaken, may our souls return to the eternal oasis.] 】

Wait until the end of this record.

The record became some extremely crazy big characters, "What kind of flower god! What an eternal oasis! It's all a lie! It's all liars! Babel! Damn you! 】

"Hmph, in line with my stereotype of a desert minion."

Lilupal, who had finished watching the record with Lin Feng throughout the whole process, complained accurately.

Eula shook her head, too.

Collai, who had only stood on his feet and looked at the few words he couldn't recognize for a long time, asked confusedly, "Master Lin Feng, what is written on it?" ”

"Go, go, children, don't ask."

Lin Feng simply crumpled and shredded the report, allowing the fragments to fly like snowflakes.

"Hmph."

Collei pursed his lips and snorted unhappily.

Although there is nothing noteworthy in this record.

But Lin Feng still saw some things to pay attention to from it, such as the lack of water here, and the fact that there were no bark and grass roots that could be used to feed the stomach, to put it simply, there was no food or drink, and the climate was as harsh as the desert outside.

In terms of Lin Feng and Eula's physique.

It's not a big deal.

But that's a lot of trouble for Collei.

Lin Feng checked the food and water he was carrying, it was not too much, and a rough estimate showed that it was enough to eat for five or six days.

In this way, count the time in and out.

Other words.

He only had about two or three days to explore the passage into the Eternal Oasis.

"Let's go, speed up, we can't afford to waste any more time."

Lin Feng turned his head and said, and then took the lead in front of the road.

The tunnel is extremely dark and deep, and it is still diagonally inserted into the ground.

The further down you go, the darker the tunnel becomes, and you can barely see the way forward only by leaning on the glowing hedron on the rock wall.

Lin Feng made a torch out of the fire element and held it in his hand as a lamp.

The problem of light was solved, but as we went deeper, the air in the tunnel became more and more turbid, and the smell of dirt, the smell of decay from corpses, and the stench of excrement discharged by the monsters made Collei's breathing heavier and heavier.

She has just recovered her healthy body, and she can't stand staying in such an environment for a long time.

Looked at.

Lelupar sighed, and once again unfurled the same light curtain as she had been through the sandstorm.

With the protection of this layer of light curtain.

The air was much fresher in an instant, and Collei was finally able to breathe normally.

"Thank you, thank you."

Lillopal, who had always been tired of himself, suddenly reached out, and Collei hurriedly thanked him.

"If you want to thank me, go and thank my lord, otherwise I won't bother to pay attention to a desert man."

Lelupal is still as tsundere as ever, and she doesn't appreciate Collei's thanks at all.

There was no sunlight in the tunnel, and there was no way to tell the time.

Lin Feng only knew that he had walked for a long time, and the monsters along the way were frightened away by the aura on his body, but there were a few hungry beasts that dared to attack them.

It's just that this kind of self-indulgent behavior has turned them all into reserve food in Lin Feng's package.

Along the way, a number of records from the Tanit exploration team were discovered.

Much like the previous record, all of them were full of faith at first, then desperate, and then completely insane, even clamoring to kill the tribe and let the lying woman use her head to atone for her sins.

And at the end of the tunnel, Lin Feng and the others finally found a huge ruin buried in the sand.

Lilupal floated silently above the ruins.

After a long time, she said, "My lord, do you see?" ”

"This place, once a verdant paradise, is now a luxurious spring in the desert that flows like a bubbling water, nourishing the land of the city of Güll."

"It's just that now, they've all been replaced by quicksand."

"And if you want to open the way to the Eternal Oasis, you must activate the mechanism here and expel all these obstructive quicksands."

"Come, my lord, let's get started, and I'll show you the way, and make sure nothing slips up."
