Early the next morning, the three of them finished pranayama in the hut one after another, and the three people who recovered from the state searched all the way, and the entire oasis was searched in all directions, but no trace of human activity was found, and nothing unusual was found, only endless yellow sand and a suffocating sun.

Although the three of them have already entered the path of cultivation, only Ruyue, who has entered the foundation building period, can reach Bigu, and although the remaining two can go without eating or drinking for a long time, they do not have Bigu in the full sense of the word, and they still need food supplements. Now the three of them are trapped here without food, although there is a pool of water, but I don't know if it can be drunk, especially in this desert full of yellow sand, water is particularly important.

The three of them discussed for a while, and decided to let Ao Ye, who had recovered, enter the waterhole to investigate, after all, it was an aquatic spirit beast, to see if this water could be drunk, and then expand the search range, it couldn't be trapped here for the rest of his life!

After Ao Ye learned of the plan of the three people, he was also unambiguous, directly turned into the body, jumped close to the pool water, and then a splash disappeared into the pool, and the three of them were waiting on the shore, and within half a moment, there was a dragon chant on the water, Ao Ye's huge body rushed up from the water, and then turned into a small snake coiled around Yuntian's shoulder, and said: "The pool is not deep, but it is extremely cold, and there is no living creature in the entire pool." The bottom of the pond is also a fine sand, and there are no aquatic plants, but looking at the green plants around it, this water should not look like this. But the water is drinkable, but the whole pool is a bit special and nothing else. ”

After listening to Ao Ye's words, the three of them also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is water, they will have the motivation to live in this desert. After the three of them stored a large amount of water, they started the second step of the plan to expand the scope of the search, and this time the three of them did not search together, but each chose a direction and galloped away. Regardless of the search results, the three of them will meet in this oasis again, Yuntian chose the direction of due north, since he separated from Huigen and Ruyue, he has been out for the seventh day, and there is nothing else along the way except yellow sand. Today is the last day that the three of them have discussed, and if they continue to investigate, if they still don't get anything, they will have to go back and discuss again. Until the sky was getting dark, Yun Tian, who had found nothing, reflexively ran towards the waterhole, and his direction seemed to be a dead place.

The three of them gathered by the pond again, Yun Tian first said that he had nothing to gain along the way, Huigen also shook his head helplessly, and then the two looked at Ruyue with a look of hope, expecting her to bring them good news, but Ruyue also looked at them with a bitter face, it seems that this trip of the three of them has achieved nothing. The only thing left was the West, and after the three of them cultivated in place for a night, they stocked up on the water source again, and then searched for the West side by side.

There was a difference of 100 miles between the three of them, and it had been five days in the desert, and if there was still no gain, they would have to return to the oasis. Finally, on the seventh day, the three people gathered stood in the desert and looked at each other, but they found nothing, could they only go back to the oasis?

Just when the three of them were worried, Yun Tian broke the silence first: "If I guess correctly, the direction we are taking now should be the direction of the ancient Desolate Northern Kingdoms, and my suggestion is to continue to explore to the west to see if we can find an ancient road." Otherwise, if you go back to the oasis again and be trapped there, what's the difference between that and waiting for death?"

After listening to Yun Tian's suggestion, Hui Gen and Ruyue also thought about it: "Yun Tian, what you said makes sense, but if you make a mistake in judgment, you will die faster, and at least there is a certain possibility of surviving when you return to the oasis." ”

"I think Yuntian is worth a try, and it's better to break the kettle than to sit still. Ruyue vetoed Huigen's suggestion and sided with Yuntian. After taking a look at the two of them, Huigen also decided to follow Yuntian's train of thought. The big deal is to become a dry skeleton in this desert, and the trapped oasis is only a little bit of a breath for a while anyway.

After the three of them decided, they did not choose to turn around, but resolutely continued to explore towards the west, this exploration was another five days, the three of them had been out for twelve days, and there was still a desert as far as the eye could see, and in two days, the water they brought should be drunk, so in order to last a few days, Yuntian gathered all the water together, and drank water every day, hoping to hold on until they found a new source of water or a way out.

Hope is always beautiful, but the reality is always cruel, fourteen days, the three of them are still exploring in the desert, and the three of them who have exhausted their spiritual power can now only rely on a pair of legs to walk in the desert with difficulty. On the sixteenth day, they had exhausted the drinking water they had brought with them, and by this time they had walked thirty thousand miles away from the oasis. But there is still a boundless desert ahead, and Ruyue cultivation is the highest, so it is good to be able to persevere, but Huigen is already stumbling lightly, and if they can't find a water source or a way out, they may not be able to hold out for two days.

It was another difficult day, at this time, even Yun Tian was already hallucinating in front of his eyes, as if there were countless people calling him in front of him, and then suddenly all these people disappeared, and the one standing in front of him turned into a ruthless demon venerable with a sinister smile on his face. After resting on the spot for a while, Yun Tiancai is a little better, but I'm afraid he can't walk, at this time, Ruyue summoned his spirit beast 'Iron Bull', and Huigen before the coma also summoned his spirit beast 'Xiaohua', the two spirit beasts each carried a person, Ruyue was still insisting, so that the three of them walked more than 100 miles to the west.

Yun Tian also fell into a semi-comatose state, and Huigen was completely in a coma, and even Ruyue, who had the highest cultivation, was frivolous at the moment, swaying from side to side. Looking at the current situation, if there is no water source or outlet, I am afraid that tomorrow will be their last day.

Just when the three of them were about to fall into despair, Yuntian suddenly found a group of dilapidated buildings in front of them on the back of 'Xiaohua', just when Yuntian thought it was a hallucination, 'Xiaohua' and 'Iron Bull' also found the dilapidated building, and then roared excitedly, and the two spirit beasts quickly ran towards the building, and when they arrived at the building, the two spirit beasts put Huigen and Ruyue in a cool place, and then turned around and brought Ruyue over.

Yuntian was fine, insisting on standing up, looking at the dilapidated buildings, so as to find a trace of water. But the weak body really couldn't hold on, and just stood for a while, then fell down again and passed out. When Yuntian woke up again, he found that Ruyue was feeding Huigen water on the side, and Ruyue also found out that Yuntian woke up, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and practice, and recover your physical strength and spiritual power." ”

Listening to Ruyue's words, Yun Tian was busy struggling to sit cross-legged on the ground and cultivate. One day, Yun Tian, who finally opened his eyes, moved his stiff body, then stood up and looked around, this place was dilapidated, and the buildings were all left with ruins, quite desolate, it should be a town in the ancient desolate northern countries. Huigen beside him also woke up under Ruyue's care and was in the process of cultivating pranayama. Ruyue disappeared and didn't know where she went, thinking that Ruyue was going to find food for them or to explore this place, Yuntian didn't think much about it, and cultivated cross-legged again.

Early the next morning, Huigen woke up Yuntian, who was cultivating, and the two looked at each other, like the moon?

The two of them hurriedly stood up and used their divine senses to probe the surroundings, looking for Ruyue. But the two who quickly retracted their divine consciousness looked at each other in surprise, there was a huge spirit gathering array and a defensive formation here, this spirit gathering array maintained the spiritual power of this place sufficiently, and also brought vitality to this place, which was an important reason why this place could form a human gathering place in ancient times. And this defensive formation is even more unusual, and the entire large town adopts the principle of the Five Elements Bagua. It seems that if they don't understand the principle of the five elements of gossip, they can't get out, but they didn't expect to enter another dead place just out of the oasis, but fortunately, since this was once a town, it means that it is not far from the exit.

Of course, it is still the most important thing to find Ruyue now, and the two of them have been rummaging in the town for a long time but have not been able to find Ruyue, but they have found signs of Ruyue's activities. It is impossible for Ruyue to abandon the two of them and go out alone, and the current cultivation of the great array Ruyue in this place can't get out, but the entire town has been searched all over again, and there is indeed no trace of Ruyue.

For some reason, the two stood in front of the only well in the town, where Ruyue fetched water for the two, but after that, she was gone. The two of them thought for a long time in front of the well, but they couldn't figure out where Ruyue would be?

At this time, Yun Tian suddenly thought that when he met Lao Tzu's incarnation in the ancient tomb before, he had also encountered a similar formation, and Yun Tian had also seen an introduction to the Five Elements Bagua when he was reading history books in the library. Could Ruyue not disappear, but was trapped in a certain place by the formation and the two didn't know? After having this idea, Yuntian told Huigen, Huigen thought about it for a while, and nodded, not ruling out this possibility, and judging from the current situation, this possibility is also the largest, but even if they know that Ruyue is trapped by this big array, the two of them don't know where Ruyue is trapped and how to save her.

Ruyue, on the other hand, was sitting cross-legged in a swarthy space, exploring the entire space with her divine sense, completely unaware that the two people outside were searching the entire town in order to find her.
