The priest nodded dumbly.

"Good, good. Seeing his appearance, Li Yan suddenly felt a little unbearable, so he said: "If you can abandon evil and promote good, and help us leave the desert, I will spare your life......" Before he finished speaking, he saw a thin streak of blood flowing from the corner of the priest's mouth.

Li Ren hurriedly stepped forward and opened his mouth, and immediately there was a strange sweet smell, thinking that it must be some kind of poisonous thing.

Li Yan couldn't help but feel gloomy in his heart, maybe this person was ready the moment he became a killer. Li Yan walked back to the camel carcass, bowed to it a few times, and said: "Brother Camel, may you ascend to the Western Elysium as soon as possible, and no longer be a beast in the next life......" When the blind saint heard him say this, she couldn't help but sigh and said: "Engong is really a kind-hearted person. The maid pursed her lips, obviously a little disdainful.

Li Yan looked at the sand dunes stretching to the sky, and then at the dead camels under his feet, and couldn't help but secretly worry.

In fact, not only that, but almost all of the water bladders they relied on were punctured by the sand cones, and only the last one remained.

How long this water will last, no one can say. Li Zanqiang said: "I estimate that this place is already on the edge of the desert, let's hold on a little longer and maybe we can leave." The blind saint shook her head and said, "No, I can feel it, it's still far away." She raised her face and pondered for a moment in the direction the wind was blowing

"There's no wetness in the wind, it's still completely dry. This shows that we are in the middle of the desert. Originally, she would be able to leave after continuing to walk for about ten days, but ......" she shook her head gloomily: "Now I am not sure......" Li Chuan wanted to comfort her a few words, but he didn't know where to start for a while.

When the maid saw that he wanted to stop talking, she smiled: "Hero, you don't think we are going to die here, do you?"

"No, how could it be ......" Although Li Yan replied like this, his heart was indeed half cold. Unexpectedly, this maid seemed to have a plan to escape.

She looked around and said, "Since you still want to live, let's move forward, as long as you act, you can hope." Li Yan looked at the water bladder and hesitated: "But ......" the maid said: "I understand." But you have to trust me, you can find water to drink even in the desert. The most important thing is that from now on, no one is allowed to hit the idea of water bladders unless they die of thirst immediately, because this is the last guarantee......" Li Yan nodded: "I agree." The blind saint didn't speak, and she naturally agreed.

So the maid walked behind a sand dune, as if searching for something. After a while, she shouted, "Come on, I've found it!" Li Yan walked over with the blind saint in his arms, and saw the maid dancing against a small gray grass.

Li Yan asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's a camel thorn. The maid replied proudly: "This plant is extremely resilient and can survive in places where there is an extreme shortage of water." Li Yan was stunned: "Do you want us to eat it?" The maid smiled and shook her head: "You think too much, people can't eat this thing." But you see. She touched the sharp blade of grass lightly

"Because this grass has to absorb water, the side that grows better is closer to the water source. She took a few steps forward and looked at another grass.

"It's the same with this one. Li Yan suddenly realized: "In this way, as long as the grass can be continued, you can find a water source." Right?" The maid nodded, "That's it." Li Yan felt more and more that this little girl was not simple, so he asked, "Who are you, how do you know so many things?" The maid said, "I'm just an orphan without a father and a mother." As for this knowledge, I learned it from the herdsmen who came to worship. Don't underestimate the determination of a man who is ready to fight for freedom, and I will do anything to escape. I've rehearsed these situations countless times, even the worst......" As she spoke, she glanced at a pair of cow bones lying across the sand, and then stopped talking.

The difficult day finally passed, and the night fell again, and the three of them only felt that they had returned to the world from hell.

However, they know that this comfort will not last long and will soon be replaced by another ordeal.

The maid suddenly said to Li Ran, "You have good martial arts, can you track animals at night?" Li Zan nodded and asked, "But how can there be any living creatures here for me to chase?"

"Yes. The maid said affirmatively.

"A man who begs for a living in the desert told me that the desert at night is far more lively than you think. There is no real backwater in this world, and living creatures can be found anywhere. ”

"Okay, what about when you track it down?

"Never!" the maid hurriedly waved her hand, "You have to observe the path of those animals and find out where they are going." Animals are smarter than humans, they don't go too far from the water source, and they can find water by following them. When she had finished speaking, the maid squatted down, took out a shining shovel from her bosom, and dug it into the ground.

"What is this for?" Li Yan wondered. The maid smiled: "Insurance in case you can't find water." Go ahead. After thinking about it, he instructed again: "Don't kill any animals, it will make them feel dangerous and avoid us." We couldn't find anything. In order to prevent Li from getting lost, the maid built a bonfire and threw some dried camel dung into it.

Until he walked a long way, Li Yan could still clearly see the black smoke. But he could not find a living thing.

I only heard the wind ghost crying wolf and swept over the sand dunes, the sand and gravel rolled up, and there was a dead silence between heaven and earth. Li Yan spun around like a fly without a head for a long time, and finally sat down helplessly against a sand dune, looking destined for a futile day.

After sitting for a while, Li Yan felt a wave of tiredness coming, so he lowered his head and took a nap. I don't know how long later, he suddenly heard a few sounds not far away

The sound of "rustling". Li Yan was startled and suddenly opened his eyes, but saw that the sky was full of stars and moons. Looking at the ground again, there was a mouse staring at him.

Li Yan's heart lifted suddenly, and he prayed in his heart that it could take him out of trouble. When the rat saw that the man was awake, he immediately turned around and fled away.

Li Chuan shouted: "Don't run!" and immediately chased after him with a breath of true qi. He was so strong in martial arts that he caught up with the mouse in a few moments.

The rat flew into fright, stabbed a few camels and hid, and disappeared instantly. Li Yan looked carefully, and it turned out that there was a small hole.

He drew his knife and dug through the hole. In a moment, the small hole two fingers wide became as big as a wheat bucket, and Li Yan finally blocked the trembling mouse.

He whispered, "Hey, don't be afraid. Take me to find water. But the mouse did not move, and trembled all over.

Only then did Li Yan realize how confused he was, and the mouse couldn't speak, how could he know what he was going to do?

Even though he could catch all the beasts, he still didn't know where the water was located. Li Ren laughed bitterly a few times, and then let the mouse go.

As the maid said, he didn't want to be seen as a predator by the beast, and that would almost give up the last bit of hope.

Li Yan had no choice but to return to the place where he was sleeping. When the maid saw that he was empty-handed, she said, "There was not much hope for this method. It's luck to find it, and it's right to move your muscles if you don't find it. Li Zhan noticed that she had dug a rather deep sand pit and spread a few pieces of cotton cloth in it.

The maid said, "Actually, that's the main thing. I don't need to tell how cold the desert is at night. Wait until the morning when the yang energy rises, so it will bring a lot of dew. Come, you touch it. Li Chuan was listless, but seeing that the maid was so attentive, she knew that she was afraid of hurting morale, so she nodded with a smile and touched the sand pit.

It doesn't matter if you don't touch it, it's indeed a little cool and damp between the tentacles. The maid said, "Look, right? Tomorrow morning, we'll get a strip of cloth soaked in water. Wet like a towel in a soup room. Don't worry, just wait. But it backfired, and she spent the night by the bunker, the cloth only slightly wet.

The maid was very frustrated, but she didn't want to show it. Of course, although this is only a little water, it is still somewhat useful for people who are extremely thirsty.

The maid handed the strip of cloth to Li Yan and said, "Hero, you have the highest martial arts and can protect our two weak women." You come first. Li Yan smiled bitterly and thought to himself: It is understandable to say that the saint is a weak woman, but you are a heroine among women who do not let her eyebrows go.

He took the strip of cloth, hesitated slightly, suddenly turned around, and slammed his mouth loudly: "Not bad, yes, it really quenches your thirst." After speaking, he turned around, wiped his mouth and handed back the strip of cloth: "Little girl, it's your turn." "The maid is quite shrewd, of course, she can see that Li Yan has not touched it.

Suddenly, my eyes turned red, and I almost burst into tears. Li Ren hurriedly pointed to the blind saintess, waved his hand, and said in a low voice: "Drink, I'm fine." The maid wiped her eyes vigorously, and suddenly she smashed her mouth loudly, and said, "Oh my God, this water is so sweet! Oh, I accidentally drank too much!" and then handed it directly to the blind saint.

The saint sucked a few times, her expression visibly disappointed. The maid patted her head and said, "I'm sorry Miss, it's me who is too greedy." I'll give you a drink next time. The blind saint smiled softly: "It's out of the way." The three of them hit the road again.

To make a long story short, after seven or eight days like this, they finally ran out of ammunition. Unable to find water, Li Chuan could only hunt wild beasts in the middle of the night, and after he succeeded once, no animal dared to approach them again.

There was not a drop of water in the skin bag for a long time, but the maid still lifted it and shook it vigorously. Li Can's lips cracked, like arid land.

As for the blind saintess, there is a sentence of nonsense. They've almost all reached their limits.

The maid suddenly threw down the skin in her hand and said to Li Yan: "I...... While I'm not confused yet, I have a few things to say to you. You're the most willed of the three of us, so from this moment on, no matter what we say, don't be disturbed. Only then can we get out of here......" Li Yan didn't even have the strength to answer, and nodded silently.

Another day passed, and both women were unconscious. Li Yan dragged the two of them on the sand dunes alone.

He only felt that these two people were extremely light, like two clothes. Suddenly, a flower suddenly appeared in front of Li Yan's eyes, and he saw a green shade that seemed to flash in the distance.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously and said to himself, "This can't be, is it?" As soon as the words came out, his voice was low and hoarse, which startled him.

He stared at it for a long time, and shouted excitedly: "Oasis, it's an oasis!" At this time, the maid who was lying on his shoulder suddenly woke up and screamed nervously: "You are wrong, how can there be any oasis in this world? It's a kind of mist spit out by monsters, luring us over to eat people!" Li Yan thought for a while: "Even if it is eaten, it is better than waiting to die here!" The maid grabbed his sleeve and said: "No, don't go!" After that, he squatted on the ground and shook a ball: "I will die...... ...... will die" At this moment, a hand suddenly gently put on her shoulder, and it turned out to be a blind saint.

The saint smiled softly and said, "Good sister, don't be afraid. That's not a man-eating youkai, it's a real oasis. The maid raised her face and said with teary eyes, "Really? Can I trust you?"

"Absolutely. "The face of the saint is so serene and peaceful.

"Because I saw it too. You see, the blue water of the lake, with colorful fruits hanging from the branches, and so many big fish swimming around in the lake. It's like a treasure trove. What are we waiting for, let's get over there!" Li Yan only shuddered.

A deep despair welled up in my heart. Aren't these two partners who support each other crazy because he can't tell what lies ahead.

Perhaps he has already fallen into a hallucination, and the so-called oasis is just another sand dune. If that were the case, would he have decided on his own out of desperation?

There were more and more uneasy thoughts, and Li Yan suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself. Because he knows that as long as he moves forward, he has the possibility of living.

Hope is at the feet. No matter how the maid struggled, Li Yan carried her on his shoulders and dragged the saint's collar towards the oasis.

He felt that the sky was getting darker and the wind didn't seem to be so hot. Cold tides are pouring in from all directions.

Is it going to be night again? Li Yan looked up, and the sun was still hanging in the sky. He understood what was going on in an instant, and quickened his pace with all his might.

He seemed to see some stout trees, a few frightened wild sheep, and a huge lake. Then he threw the two women to the lake, poured some water into their mouths, and fell headlong.

Maybe Li Yan did this in a dream, maybe he had been spinning around the sand dunes, but he didn't know anything.

When he opened his eyes again, Li Yan saw dense leaves above his head, and the light of the setting sun shone on his face through them.

He suddenly smelled the smell of grilled fish, and suddenly his index finger moved. I just wanted to sit up, but I felt a tearing pain all over my body.
