Chapter 1527: A Little Oasis in the Desert
Perhaps it was because the previous foehn was too hot, and the temperature after the foehn did not seem to be as hot as usual. After waiting for Alice to be sad, Bing Zhiye said to her, "Alice, don't use this method to practice domineering in the future. ”
"Why?" Alice was teary-eyed, wiping her tears, blown by the wind, and looked at the master a little confused.
Bing Zhiye frowned, feeling worried, and said: "Your current body can't withstand the power of the battle spirit, although the battle spirit of Modo is lodged in your body, it has not completely fused with your body breath. However, when you become more domineering in the future, the battle spirit is likely to gradually merge with your domineering, and you use the method of often releasing the power of the war spirit to strengthen the physique and strengthen the battle qi, which will speed up the speed at which the war spirit will merge with you. ”
"Wouldn't that be better?" asked Alice.
"Don't forget, Nightmare Garcia said that Modo's battle spirit still inherits the ability of Dragon Zero's power, and once your body's domineering energy is completely fused with Modo's battle spirit, it means that you have the same consequences as Dragon Zero's power." The side effects of Dragon Zero are extraordinary, and I don't expect your future to be a tragedy. ”
"Is the negative effect of Dragon Zero really so terrifying? However, when I accepted the Battle Spirit, Master didn't stop it. ”
"I really didn't stop it, because I hadn't used Dragon Zero at the time, and I didn't know what the negative effect of Dragon Zero's power was. Your uncle's research letter explains the negative effects of using Dragon Zero Shadow, but I may have been too young to think carefully about the consequences of letting you take over the battle spirit, and I already regretted it later. Bing Zhiye sighed softly.
"Then Master, do you now know what the negative effect of Dragon Zero's power is?"
Bing Zhixiao shook his head and said he didn't know. He said, "It's because I've used Dragon Zero that I don't want you to use that power as well, but it's too late to stop you now." ”
Seeing what the master said solemnly, Alice was also a little worried: "But the war spirit is already in my body, what should I do?"
Bing Zhi said evilly: "I have thought about this, even if the battle spirit has not completely fused with you, there is still a chance to strip it from your body." I don't know exactly how to peel it off, but I have a person I can turn to. ”
"What?"
"The Holy Garden. Bing Zhi said, "Modo's battle spirit is already imprisoned by the Holy Garden, and with their ability, they should be able to do this. I intend to take you to the Sacred Garden as soon as this is over. I think they're willing to deal with the matter of the Modo Spirit. This period. You try to use as little domineering power as possible, slowing down the increase in your own strength and preventing the battle spirit from merging deeper with your body, so you don't have to worry. I don't think you'll be affected by Dragon Zero for a while. ”
Alice smiled and said, "I'm not worried." With a master in Yiqiē, it will be no problem. She was a little worried at first. But as long as Bing Zhixie gave a solution, she felt that her heart could be safely placed in her chest, and not a single worry would be a trouble. A qiē difficulty is not a difficulty. On the contrary, she was still a little happy now, thinking that Master would take her to the Holy Garden, and it would be a long journey for the two of them.
But she hadn't been happy for long, when something happened ahead.
Suddenly, some scattered supplies appeared on the desert, scattered all over the ground, many of them half-buried in the yellow sand. Alice and Ice Evil ran over to look around, and Alice said, "It's the supplies of the Schaller family, they must have suffered from yesterday's hot wind and dust." She had seen the boxes and sacks of the Schaller family carrying food and supplies, and she recognized them at a glance.
"There are no human and demonic corpses here, they must have chosen to abandon their supplies to avoid the foehn. Ice Evil flew into the air in a few steps, looked into the distance, and then fell back to the ground.
As soon as Alice saw the Master's expression, she knew that she hadn't noticed it, and prayed, "I hope they'll be okay." By the way, isn't there an oasis nearby, maybe they fled to the oasis, let's go check it out. ”
"But before we do that, let's take some food and water with us. Ice picked up a crowbar on the ground and pried open a wooden box, the contents of which were still intact.
Alice grinned and took out a bottle and asked Master to ice it before opening it, and the amber cold wine gurgled a few sips. She chirped, licked her little tongue around her lips, and sighed, "It's so delicious, I haven't had such a pleasant sweet drink in almost a month." ”
Since they had abandoned these supplies, Ice Evil unceremoniously obtained enough food to store in the other dimension, but because they had lost their compass, they could only instinctively determine the direction to find the oasis, but they couldn't find it for hours.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Alice was worried that she would have to sleep in the desert again tonight, and said, "What's the matter, where has the oasis gone? They said it's not far to the east, why haven't we found it for so long? Did we go in the wrong direction?"
The yellow sand is flat nearby, there are no undulating sand dunes, and there is still a sandy surface around, and you can see far away from it at a glance, if there was an oasis, they should have seen it a long time ago.
Bing Zhixiao looked at the vast yellow sand, his eyebrows showed a worried color, and said, "They said it was a very small oasis, maybe ...... It was destroyed and buried by yesterday's foehn wind and yellow sand. ”
Alice exclaimed, "No, aren't those people dangerous!?"
Yesterday's foehn wind and sand were so big that it could be described as a flood of dust, and it was not unusual for a small oasis to be buried in the dust.
Bing Zhiyi also has this kind of worry, yesterday's wind disaster, if there is no good shelter from the wind, even if it is a master, it is difficult to survive. If the Oasis really didn't survive annihilation, there was a high chance that something would happen to those of the Schaller's family. But now it is impossible to determine the location of the oasis, what should we do?
Alice was in a hurry when she suddenly kicked something erect under her feet. She brushed aside a layer of yellow sand on her face and found an old well.
The well was sealed with a heavy stone slab with two lifting rings. Bing Zhixiao walked over and looked at it, and said, "Come Alice." Let's take a look at the manhole cover. ”
It took some effort for the two of them to remove the heavy stone slab from the old well, and a black rumbling hole was exposed. The ice child crouched by the well, shot a fireball and fell into the well. The well is about 20 meters deep, and the bottom has been filled with yellow sand, which is a dead well.
Alice was a little disappointed and was about to speak, but the ice made a silent gesture and listened carefully at the mouth of the well. Alice didn't know why, but she listened to the well.
Bing Zhiye seemed to have heard something just now, but now he couldn't hear it again. He asked Alice, "Did you hear anything?"
Alice shook her head no.
Bing Zhiyi listened for a while. There was still no sound, and doubts arose in my heart.
Alice said, "Master, could it be that you have heard it wrong, except for the sound of the wind. I didn't hear anything. ”
Bing Zhixiao got up and looked around. Soon, some dry leaves fell under the sand layer more than ten meters away. The leaves have dried out due to dehydration. But the foliar surface is hypertrophied, not the kind of leaves with small grass and small flowers. They searched around again, and soon found a lot of wilted plants. and some man-made objects and wood debris, all of which were buried in yellow sand.
Alice dug a silver metal dinner plate from the sand and exclaimed, "Master, this is an oasis?"
Bing Zhixiao nodded: "Very likely." He immediately thought of the sound he had heard at the mouth of the well, and became more and more sure that it was real, and said, "Although I am not sure, the sound I vaguely heard just now may be someone calling for help from below." ”
"They're buried underneath?"
Ice and Alice returned to the well and said, "Stay up there, I'll go down and see." After saying that, he turned over and jumped down.
The four walls of the well are dry, made of small square bricks, and there is no moss at all. Ice Childish Evil stood in it, not hearing a sound at all. He touched the wall of the well around him with his hand, and suddenly found that one of the wall of the well was cool, and the temperature was lower than that of the side of it. He touched the wall of the well and searched carefully, and it didn't take long to find two loose stone bricks.
Above the well, Alice looked at Bing's childish movements and asked, "Master, have you found anything?"
Bing Zhixi pulled out two square bricks, and sure enough, he saw a bracket, and after triggering the bracket, a small door immediately opened on the wall of the well, and a cool wind blew out of the door. He looked inside and said to Alice above, "There's a secret passage here, I'll go in and take a look." ”
"Shall I go down?"
"Don't, you're waiting up there. Bing Zhiyi took out the magic crystal and lit it, and bent down to burrow into the dark passage.
The tunnel is diagonally downward, surrounded by rough earth and rock formations, and the further you climb forward, the more open it becomes, and you will soon be able to stand up straight. Not long after Bing Zhixiao walked down, he could already feel the air gradually becoming moist, and said secretly: "There is underground water down here, and it is indeed an oasis." ”
He took the hedron and looked around, when he heard a hoarse voice in the cave shouting, "Who is it!?"
"Who are you?" asked the Ice Child, standing on the rocky slope.
After a while, I only heard the man in the cave: "Are you Celeste?"
Bing Zhixie heard that the voice was a little familiar, and exclaimed, "Ruola?" The other party's voice was very hoarse, and he almost didn't hear it.
"It's me, it's me!" Ruora shouted happily, hurried in the direction of the light, and fell in the darkness after running a few steps.
Hearing the voice, Bing Zhixiao noticed that Ruola was not very far away from him, and carefully slid down the rocky slope, and when he got to the bottom, he saw Ruora, whose head was broken and bleeding. Bing Zhiyi helped her up and asked, "Why are you here?"
Jora panicked and said, "They're inside, I don't know what's wrong with them, they're all lying on the ground and not moving, I can't wake them up." ”
Bing Zhiye was startled for a moment and said, "Take me to see it." ”
Walking inside for a while, Ice Evil soon saw a group of people lying in the cave, most of them were servants of the Schaller family and members of the White Skull Mercenary Regiment, but there were also some others. These people fell to the ground silently, probed their snorts, and they were still breathing, but no matter how much they screamed or pushed, they couldn't wake them up.
Jora was anxious and frightened, and told the story of the incident to Bingzhi.
Yesterday they were hit by the Foehn winds peculiar to the Forgotten Sea, just like the Ice Child, because there were too many supplies for the horses and carts, which affected everyone's speed, and Charle Tyson had no choice but to abandon the supplies and lead the group to flee to the Oasis for refuge. This little oasis has been in the desert for many, many years, and every two or three years it is hit by a foehn wind, destroying the oasis and the small liquor stores that have been built here.
However, there is groundwater, and the lost oases will soon regrow, so when the foehn comes, the people here take refuge in underground caverns until the foehn has passed and then come out to rebuild. Tyson and the others hid in the underground cavern with the locals, hoping to recover the supplies after the foehn passed, but after the night passed, only Jora woke up, and the others slept motionless on the ground as if they were dead.
Jora stayed alone in the crypt for a day, screaming so much that her voice was hoarse, and she almost gave up in despair when she didn't cry out for anyone to save her. I didn't think about it......
