At this time, weak voices rang out in many ranks.

"Teacher, I can't do it anymore, I don't want to go, I'm going back, I'm bothering the teacher and senior."

"Teacher, I can't do it anymore, I can't walk anymore, it's too difficult."

。。。。。。

Listening to one discouraged voice after another, Teacher Chen frowned and said loudly: "Why can't you even hold on to this distance, is it really that difficult?" Don't you have the courage to do that? You're still not men, what are you cultivating for! And you're nearly halfway through the victory at this point, and you're still half way to succeed, but you're giving up halfway at this moment? You guys! ”

I have to say that Mr. Chen's words stimulated too many people, and those who originally wanted to retreat lowered their heads deeply at this moment, and all kinds of emotions filled their brains, going to fight fiercely.

After a while, no matter what Mr. Chen said or how he encouraged the students, he still couldn't stop the heart of the heart that didn't persevere, didn't want to improve, didn't want to struggle, didn't have endurance, and just wanted to give up halfway.

Several more voices rang out.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I can't hold on anymore."

"I'm sorry, teacher, too..."

"Teacher, a few of us have discussed it again, I really don't want to insist anymore, I can't keep up with the team just now, so everyone waits for us for a long time, if we go further, even if we get to the oasis, we still have to go again, so we decided not to go, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a desert trial to grow, I'm sorry." After speaking, the man tilted his head downward, his face expressionless, and clasped his fists in salute.

Looking at the group of students who had no fighting spirit, Teacher Chen sighed helplessly and said lightly: "Since you really don't want to move forward, I won't force it anymore." Now, I don't want to continue to the back of the line. ”

Looking at the students who retreated one after another, Teacher Chen said secretly: If it is really a big wave, the real gold is left.

In a short time, there were originally seven teams, and at this time there were still five left.

Those students who did not want to continue also walked back under the guidance of teachers and seniors.

Seeing this, the five Luo Xing brothers couldn't help but smile at each other.

At this point, the sun is more poisonous.

Above the vast desert, the transparent flames that seemed to be burning beat more happily, and the intense and endless heat waves rolled in more intensely.

Looking at the endless heaven and earth in front of them, it seems that there is no end to the desert where there is no hope, and everyone is still stepping on the hot yellow sand, so gritting their teeth and persisting in moving forward.

Just as everyone walked and stopped, but continued to work hard to move forward, it seemed that the oasis was getting closer and closer.

I don't know how long it took, five people had already stepped on the high sand slope with great difficulty, bowed their heads and supported their legs, gasped for a few breaths, immediately took off their towels, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took out the water bag and poured a few more mouthfuls, and when they looked into the distance, they were suddenly refreshed.

Gao Jun shouted in an excited and somewhat hoarse voice: "Oasis, we have arrived, we have arrived, hahahaha, oh." After saying that, he shook the face towel in his hand frantically, jumping and cheering.

The four Luo Xing brothers also cheered, waving excitedly to the classmates on the road from time to time, shouting hurry up and come on.

The people who were still walking slowly behind, listening to the sound from afar, stopped one after another, saw the people on the sand slope cheering, and waved their hands to their side, and suddenly they were full of energy, as if the body that had been extremely tired was now like a new life, and they ran madly towards the top of the sand slope.

Zeng Hongzhi's brothers, who had already removed their face towels, supported each other, and when they saw Luo Xing and a few people on the sand slope, the upper left corner of their upper lip was raised, and they trembled quickly, their eyes were instantly sharp, and the burning degree of the fire in their hearts seemed to have completely overshadowed the hot desert under the scorching sun.

Bai Jiapi's situation was much better, but he was also extremely tired and wiped his sweat, frowning and looking at the five Luo Xing people on the sand slope in the distance, he regretted a little in his heart, and he didn't understand that his family was all cultivating the "Cold Ice Sword Technique", so he had to go to the Mocheng Academy in the Western Desert to study, wasn't it good to be cold in the extreme north? That's also in line with the family's exercises, hey!

After a while, everyone climbed, pulled, pushed, or bowed their heads and tried to move forward, and finally gradually, everyone gathered on the sandy slope, looking in the direction of the oasis, cheering and shouting together.

About five miles away, in the oasis, there were many trees full of life, and a towering tree stood there, and everyone couldn't help but talk and be surprised.

Teacher Chen said, "Okay, let's gather under the tree first, pay attention to your feet and surroundings, and set off." ”

In an instant, everyone lifted their heavy feet like iron and ran frantically towards the oasis.

A huge tree, covering the sky and the sun, huge, countless branches hang down and burrow into the bottom of the sand, if you don't look closely, you must think that it is countless trees, out of the sand and grow here.

Nearby and beyond, there are countless trees of all kinds, but they are not as large as this one. In some areas along the lake where there are no trees, weeds are overgrown, and due to the special climate conditions of the desert, the highest of these weeds is only about two feet.

The people under the giant tree poured a few mouthfuls of water, and then stretched out their arms, raised their heads and closed their eyes, feeling the long-lost coolness penetrating through their bodies, struggling to breathe in the hard-won cool air, all with a deep aftertaste and extremely satisfied expression.

At this time, everyone gathered around this towering giant tree, looking left and right, up and down, looking in circles, cheering excitedly, but they had long forgotten the hardships along the way, full of fatigue, and blurted out all kinds of words.

"Oh my God, this tree, it's so tall and thick."

"yes, it takes a teenager to grow this big."

"It's really unprecedented, there is such a tall tree in the world."

。。。。。。

At this time, a student asked suspiciously, "Teacher, what kind of tree is this, and why is it so big?" ”

Teacher Chen nodded, and immediately spoke eloquently, only to hear the students with a lot of emotion.

It turns out that in this endless desert, I don't know when there was a tree that is unique to this continent and only grows in the desert, as if it fell from the sky, and no one knows how many years it has existed.

Known as the Umbrella of the Heavens because the canopy of the tree looks like an open umbrella from a distance, this tree is the tallest on the entire continent, although not the thickest.

Ten years ago, it was measured that the tree was about 4 zhang thick and 18 zhang high, and the overall width of the crown was about 32 zhang.

At this time, another student wondered, "Look at the trees, it looks like there are houses." ”

Everyone present looked up carefully in unison.

"Huh? I think there really is. ”

"Uh-huh, I think I saw that too."

"Look, isn't there?"

。。。。。。

Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Teacher Chen continued to explain, and the students were surprised when they heard it.

It turned out that there was indeed a tree house on top of this big tree, and it was built more than 700 years ago by the teachers of the Meaux College according to the thick branch structure of the tree itself, supplemented by various branches.

These treehouses were built so that the students who were trying in the desert could have a safe place to live at night, and the treehouses on them were not worth mentioning for more than 50 people now, and they had accommodated more than 100 people at most.

Not far from the west side of the tree, there is a huge lake that is about 10 miles wide and 50 miles long, and the specific reason for its formation is still unknown.

Because it was the first oasis lake after entering the desert, it was named the first lake, and this lake is also the largest of the countless oases in this vast desert.

There are many creatures living in the desert, such as the poisonous black scorpion, the slightly less poisonous red-crowned flower snake, the clever gerbil, the wolf with a strong sense of territory, the sturdy desert horned deer, the fierce gray sand vulture, etc., all of which depend on the desert oasis to survive, from generation to generation, and reproduce.

After a long time, Teacher Chen said: "Okay, everyone now acts separately, remember, everything obeys the teacher's command, and you can't act privately, because there are always students who don't listen to the command, and their bones are buried in this desert forever, I don't want the tragedy to happen again, you must take warning... ”

Under Mr. Chen's explanation, everyone also understood that there were desert black scorpions living around the oasis, and they were very poisonous, and there were carnivorous fish in the water, which would cause great harm to people.

Finally, Teacher Chen strictly ordered all the leading teachers to take good care of the students, sprinkle dementor powder around them during the break, and be sure to rush back to the Wangtian umbrella around four o'clock in the unitary hour.

Dementor powder: A powder made from the dried petals of the dementor flower, and when sprinkled on the ground, the smell emitted by the dementor powder has a great irritating effect on individual creatures other than humans, making it impossible to get close to it.

Before the trial began, the Academy destroyed the original nest on the tree, hollowed out the branches in the canopy that were not very important and thicker, put in a large amount of Dementor powder, and pierced small holes to release the smell to prevent animals, birds, insects, or other animals from inhabiting it.

Every five-year trial, the teachers of the academy will bring a large amount of soul powder to add to those spaces again, and continue to ensure that they will not be occupied and destroyed by other creatures for five years.

Everyone rested well, set up their backpacks, carried water bags and weapons, and set off with the earplugs they had been distributed.

Li Shizhong, who was in charge of leading the team, led Luo Xing, Zeng Hongzhi and others and another team to set off south along the lake, and the other three teams set off north along the lake.
