Chapter 17: A Desert Oasis

In the center of the Western Desert, a low-lying area at the end of the river valley plain has formed a natural crescent-shaped lake with an area of dozens of acres, which is one of the few oases in the desert. The green grass beside the shore of the lake is like a blanket, the trees are shady, the reeds in the lake are rippling, and the fish are flying to the shallow bottom, a scene of vitality.

Under the big tree by the lake, a sloppy old man seems to be napping and resting with half-squinted eyes, with a gourd beside him, holding a fishing whip made of bamboo in his hand, no rope and no hook, and I don't know if he is fishing.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in the old man's half-squinted eyes, and he opened his eyes and looked up at the lake. Suddenly there were waves in the middle of the lake, flocks of fish jumped out of the water, and a flock of wild birds awoke in the reeds on the edge of the lake. Immediately after that, the lake began to tumble and form a huge whirlpool, the water level dropped sharply, and the crescent-shaped lake continued to shrink.

"Hey, hey. The old man smiled lightly, only to see a figure shrouded in pale yellow light suddenly swept out of the center of the lake, and saw him leap away from the waterway, and rushed onto the lawn by the lake in a little embarrassment, but there was not a single water stain on his body, and he stared intently at the disappearing whirlpool in the center of the lake with a short blade in his hand.

After a few moments, the lake was calm again, and the man relaxed, lying on the lawn as if he had collapsed, breathing heavily in the air on the ground.

This person is Yang Rui!

Yang Rui subconsciously touched the pendant on his neck, still feeling palpitations about the thrilling scene he had just experienced.

In the holy place of the ancient tomb, the spring in the center of the cave has disappeared, revealing a spring, which is a few feet wide and bottomless. On the beach next to the spring, a young woman with a big sword was staring at a handsome young man in a brown-gray robe opposite.

"Pick it up, kill yourself!" the princess's sword flicked lightly, and a dagger that landed on the beach glowing with white fluorescent fish scales stuck into the ground beside the young man.

"What!?Why are you undead like this?Open your mouth to kill someone! I was saving you just now!" Although Yang Rui was mentally prepared that it was impossible for him to make a pair with the princess in his own identity, he was still surprised by the other party's unreasonable attitude!

"I know the truth, so I won't kill you, I will give you a chance to commit suicide. The princess's eyes flickered slightly, but she still spoke in a cold tone, as if she was giving a gift to the other party.

"Don't try to run away, there is no other way out here except for the stone gate behind me, and ......," the princess glanced at the young man opposite and continued, "I don't know why my father and the Snake seniors chose you, but with your current strength in the Qi Gathering Realm, you are far from being my opponent." ”

"The sword in my concubine's hand, named Shui Yuan, is five feet long, and the head of a person is taken within a hundred zhang. So if you run away, you will only be killed, and you can still leave some dignity by doing it yourself, don't let me down. Leave your name, and I will be buried after I die. Saying that, the princess's hand slowly rested on the sword handle, and a sword aura on her body gradually emanated.

Yang Rui frowned slightly, a trace of yellow flashed in his deep and vast eyes, and he looked at the unruly princess in front of him speechlessly. I scolded in my heart, bang, bury a fart! I worked hard to wake you up, and when I woke up, I shouted and shouted to kill, and I didn't owe you a debt in my previous life, ungrateful guy, master, I didn't have such a short life!

But scolding and scolding, the current situation is really dangerous. Although the momentum of this cold beauty is not as good as the shriveled old monster outside the stone gate, it is not something he can deal with if he really wants to fight. In short, it is not clear to talk to such an unreasonable race, and it seems that you can only give it a go!

"You don't need to know my name, because I won't stay here either, there is a third option......" Yang Rui picked up the dagger, took a deep breath, and suddenly burst out with a power derived from the bloodline, his hands were covered with yellow scales, and his whole body was suddenly shrouded in a faint yellow light, and a trace of red cracks spread on his skin.

"That's to defeat you!" Yang Ruifei stepped forward and crashed into the princess.

"Hmph!" said the princess, but then swung her sword at her.

With a "bell", Yang Rui was thrown into the air by a sword, and just wanted to turn around, but found that the princess had flashed above him and slashed down with a sword, and a cold aura like an abyss directly pressed Yang Rui.

"Die!" At the moment when the princess felt that she had succeeded, she saw a hint of ridicule on Yang Rui's lips, and suddenly felt the yellow light in front of her, and a huge horn formed in front of Yang Rui, colliding with the big sword Shui Yuan.

However, because of the big difference in strength, the princess's figure only paused in the air, while Yang Rui was smashed down fiercely and fell directly into the bottomless spring.

The princess just wanted to go down to find out, but she heard a "boom" open from the stone gate, and a dark shadow swept in, it was the gatekeeper who guarded the ancient tomb. The princess landed on the beach, her eyes were slightly red, she looked at the thin old man in front of her, and called out softly, "Uncle Nine!"

The dried corpse guarding the ancient tomb turned out to be Yu Jiu, one of the nine elders of the undead race!

"Princess, you're awake!, that person can't be killed!" Yu Jiu came to the princess's side in a few steps, grinned, and then said with a straight face, "Before, I felt that the formation in the Holy Land was activated, so I thought that the princess would be awakened, alas, I didn't think it was too late." ”

"Uncle Nine is not too late, I don't have a good time!" the princess took back her big sword and smiled at Yu Jiu.

"Hmph! I'm not worried about you girl! The person who saved you was the person personally chosen by the patriarch and Lord Mingser, the newly recognized master of the Dharma Protector Array Stone, only he can let you get the inheritance of the patriarch to revive my clan, now how can you kill people!" Yu Jiu glanced at the bottomless pit.

"Didn't you teach me to kill people without asking where they came from? The princess walked over with an innocent face, "And I can also urge the Dharma Protector Formation Stone, as long as I have it...... Oops! The array stone is gone!" the princess twisted her waist and carefully touched her body, but she didn't see the Dharma Protector Array Stone. Suddenly, it dawned on me that I must have been touched by that kid during the fight just now. Did he deliberately be knocked into this bottomless pit by me!?

"Hmph, cunning boy, I'm so angry!" the princess was about to rush in, but she felt a gust of wind coming from the spring, followed by a jet of water that rushed to the sky, and quickly flooded the spring. When the water calmed down, the princess wanted to dive down unwillingly, but was grabbed by Yu Jiu's arm.

"Don't chase it, I don't know how deep it is down here, and there are countless undercurrents, and there is no chance of survival if you go down unprepared. "I want to stabilize the princess first, that Yang Rui has the breath of a snake, presumably because of its inheritance, he will not be afraid of this deep pool.

Sure enough, Yang Rui had already realized that this pit was only a short time that the spring water on the upper layer had been emptied, and there were still many water veins intricately distributed underground. After calculating the time, he made a decisive attack, inducing the princess to knock herself into the spring with one blow, and easily fished back the Dharma Protector Array Stone. Hmph, you guys are so unkind, then you don't have to be polite!

At the bottom of the spring, Yang Rui was pleasantly surprised to find that due to the strength of the snake's veins, all the spring water actually bypassed him, so that he couldn't feel the huge water pressure at all, and he could avoid the waterway and slide quickly in this undercurrent with a thought.

However, the waterways below were intricate and pitch black, and he did not want to stay here any longer, so he raised the fluorescent dagger and observed it, and then swept in the opposite direction of the spring. Gu Yangrui deduced that as long as he went against this turbulent undercurrent, he could find another exit.

At this time, Yang Rui quickly sneaked in the underground undercurrent thousands of zhang away from the surface, and soon turned into a large underwater channel, where the undercurrent flow speed has slowed down slightly, and beyond the tunnel is a large body of water, and it is not far from the exit. Just as he wanted to go upstream, Yang Rui suddenly found that there was an inconspicuous hole at the bottom of the corridor, and there was actually a cold white vitality overflowing!

This discovery made Yang Rui's heart jump to his throat, and the feeling of swelling and pain all over his body showed that the use of blood veins had almost reached the limit of his body several times, and the power of urging blood veins for such a long time might cause irreparable trauma to his body. Bang, this stimulation is one after another! I just went over to take a look and left immediately, thinking to myself, Yang Rui was finally overcome by curiosity.

Cautiously approaching the cave at the corner of the corridor, he looked at it and saw that the cave was full of rich icy vitality, but it didn't spill out much. And in Yang Rui's eyes, the trace of cold air in the surrounding spring water is constantly gathering here. Dividing the water path and entering the cave, I saw a cluster of dark blue crystals growing in the corner, this crystal itself did not feel any vitality fluctuations, but it was constantly absorbing the cold qi around it.

Yang Rui had never seen anything like this, but he thought it must be some kind of natural treasure, and now that he has collided, he will naturally not let it go. I just wanted to use a dagger to remove it from the rock wall, but I felt a chill on my back, and a sense of danger suddenly appeared, so I hurriedly dodged sideways, only to see a seven-foot-long strange fish passing by me.

This fish has a large mouth and fine teeth, long horns on its back, and blue scales, staring at Yang Rui viciously. But all heavenly and earthly treasures must be guarded by fierce beasts, this Yang Rui has heard it before, but it was indeed negligent just now.

Yang Rui didn't want to think about it, he turned around and swam towards the water directly, the blue strange fish was afraid that it was a social spirit beast, and he didn't want to entangle himself here. Even if you clean up the one in front of you, you may not be surprised by other strange fish, so it's better to flee first! Sure enough, not long after Yang Rui fled, a large group of strange fish appeared behind the blue-scaled monster fish guarding the edge of the blue crystal.

Yang Rui also felt the gloomy murderous aura behind him at this time, and hurriedly increased the speed to the maximum, and finally saw the bright light on his head, and separated the waterway and rushed out of the water. Staring intently at the lake, seeing that there was no movement, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked on the lawn. I think those blue strange fish don't like light, they just live in deep water, and they don't chase after them.

"Hehe, little apprentice, welcome to the desert oasis!" At this time, Zhang Lao's familiar voice came from his ears.
