Volume 16: Desert Escape (20)

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, the temperature in the Death Desert finally dropped, and the wind slowly blew. Compared with the hot day, the rapidly decreasing temperature was very cool at this moment, and it made some goose bumps on the skin.

When the temperature dropped sharply, Yan Hao took off his coat that was tightly covered. He had been bored for a day and wanted to cool off.

Luo Cheng pinched the time and calculated for ten minutes before covering him again.

Yan Hao looked at him dissatisfiedly.

Luo Cheng had an expression of no negotiation.

Yan Hao curled his lips and ignored him.

In contrast, the brothers Feng Rong and Baili Mengyan have always been quiet. Luo Cheng and Yan Hao know their identities, and they are too lazy to keep the distance of so-called "friends" in front of each other. They act together at any time and anywhere, and make the actions of Luo Cheng and Yan Hao openly and unconcealed without any concealment.

To be honest, Luo Cheng is an expert in controlling people's hearts, and he can't help but meet two such people.

——They don’t accept the moves at all. Even if you change the moves, it’s useless, right?

Feng Rong took out the roasted jerky and handed it to Baili Mengyan. They agreed at noon that they would walk for two more hours today to make up for the journey that had fallen at noon, so they didn't stop and rest for the time being, and made a fire and had supper.

It was still dawn at this time, the temperature was comfortable, and I could hurry up even when I was on the way. The group of four people all accelerated their walking speed.

"At 6:30 pm, the temperature was 11 degrees Celsius," Feng Rong looked at his watch and suddenly said, "It has dropped five degrees compared to the same time yesterday."

Luo Cheng looked at the clear sky, as if the storm the day before was just an illusion. "Even if the climate in the Death Desert changes rapidly, the temperature difference is a bit too big. It seems that the super storm is not far from us."

Baili Mengyan asked: "Is there no more detailed omen?"

They can only test the data on the spot, not predict like weather forecasts. If they change at this rate, when they detect the storm, they may not have time to find a place to hide.

Luo Cheng showed a meditative expression, and this question seemed to stump him. After thinking for a while, he gave up and said helplessly: "There are too few records in this regard. I have only read a book that says it, but the author did not record the specific situation. He only said that there would be many strange phenomena before the super storm came."

Yan Hao suddenly said, "For example, that?"

His voice was a bit like a robot. His abrupt opening shocked the other three people.

"What that?" Luo Cheng glanced at Yan Hao, subconsciously looked in the direction he pointed. The next second, he widened his eyes slightly, "That's..."

Not to mention Luo Cheng, Feng Rong and Baili Mengyan both showed surprised expressions at the same time. They also looked at each other, sure that it was not the hallucination they had appeared.

Because they appeared a few or two kilometers away, they could vaguely see that there was a small oasis there!

"Is this a mirage?" Baili Mengyan asked Feng Rong.

Feng Rong shook his head, "It shouldn't be."

No matter who searches for information about mirages, they will know that this mirage is caused by refraction and total reflection of light, and the medium of refraction and reflection is the atmosphere, which is a phenomenon that humans have explored.

However, the Death Desert becomes an interface independently, which is different from the composition of the human world. Although there are things like "sun" and "sky", it is still different from what ordinary humans see every day. It has never been recorded before that there are mirages in the Death Desert. Why did they happen to encounter them?!

"It's not a mirage, that's it true?" Luo Cheng looked at the distance of the oasis, and then recalled the records about this area in his mind. "I don't remember the existence of an oasis nearby, and it was the terrain of the heart that yesterday's storm was blowing out? But generally speaking, the storm will only submerge the original oasis and will not create a new oasis out of thin air."

"It probably isn't a good place," Baili Mengyan looked at the others, "Are you going to take a detour?"

Feng Rong estimated their current location and looked at the area of ​​the oasis, "It is our must-pass road. If we take a detour, it will be useless to drive two more hours today."

Feng Rong was not knowing that Hushan was going to Hushan, but was just saying the facts he could discover.

"So, let's go the original path?" Luo Cheng looked at the two of them, and Yan Hao's opinions were basically negligible.

Feng Rong glanced at Baili Mengyan.

Baili Mengyan stroked the dagger on his waist and said indifferently: "You decide."

He was not a person who was good at circles, but a type of person who met Buddha, killed Buddha, and killed gods. It is probably more difficult to make him do things that were twists and turns than to let him fight one hundred gods and demons alone.

Feng Rong thought for a moment, "If that oasis is temporarily safe, we can replenish supplies there, but if there is something hidden..."

Feng Rong didn't continue to say it, but the meaning was already very clear.

Luo Cheng was also a little hesitant. The matter of Death Desert seemed to be beyond his control. Now everyone is ordinary people. After having supreme abilities, he suddenly becomes an ordinary person. Naturally, he will be much more cautious than before. "The four of us should be able to deal with most of the monsters in Death Desert."

After all, even monsters can only use their own bodies to fight in this desert. For the four of them, the harsh climate and poor resources are the biggest threats.

Feng Rong nodded, "Then let's go."

Luo Cheng gave him the dominance indifferently, "Okay."

So, instead of changing direction, they continued to move forward.

When I was looking at it, I felt that the oasis was not very far away, but I actually walked for more than half an hour. Because the oasis was very big, you could see it from a distance. In addition, the undulations of the sand dunes affected the vision, so the visual distance was not accurate.

This is indeed not a mirage. The oasis has not disappeared. When we walked near the oasis, Feng Rong and others stopped and observed this strange land from afar. At this time, the sky was not completely dark. The green oasis had a fatal attraction to travelers walking in the desert.

Yan Hao blinked and said, "I seem to hear the sound of water."

"This oasis is very big, and there is also a high possibility of having lakes or groundwater," Feng Rong said lightly, "but after just experiencing a storm, it seems that such a large oasis has no effect, which is not normal."

Luo Cheng tskated, "If something goes wrong, there will be a demon."

Yan Hao didn't take these words to heart at all, "I saw that there were fruits, can I pick them?"

Luo Cheng held his forehead and felt that his face had been thrown away by this guy, "Are you a pig? You only know how to eat it!"

Yan Hao turned his head and looked at Luo Cheng with his dark eyes. This was the most obvious difference between him and Yan Mi. Yan Mi's eyes were brown. Of course, if you don't pay attention, you won't be able to see it very well.

So when Yan Hao stares at people like this, he always gives people the feeling that he is abused if he doesn't give him. Yan Hao looked at Luo Cheng and said, "I want to eat fruit."

Luo Cheng: “…”

Yan Hao repeated in a dry voice: "I want to eat fruit."

Luo Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "...Stop quarreling, I'll pick it for you later."

Baili Mengyan glanced at Yan Hao, "It's poisonous."

Yan Hao blinked slowly, "I'm not afraid of poison."

Luo Cheng again: "..."

Yes, the little ancestor exposed himself.

Feng Rong and Baili Mengyan pretended that they hadn't heard it, but in fact they didn't hear it, everyone knew it.

Baili Mengyan didn't mean to joke with Yan Hao, because the green fruits on the trees hanging on the edge of the oasis are indeed poisonous. Although they are not fatal, it is definitely impossible to eat them. Only Yan Hao seems to have a natural constitution to resist poison and stare at the fruits without blinking.

But Yan Hao had just gotten sick and was still an ordinary person's constitution. Luo Chengzhen was afraid that he would die after taking one, so he pulled him hard, for fear that he would rush to the tree like a monkey in the blink of an eye.

Feng Rong and his four men quietly set foot on the land of this oasis.

"It's so quiet," Luo Cheng said in a low voice, "I can hardly hear the sound of monsters or animals moving."

Feng Rong said: "There are a circle of poisonous fruits on the outside that can drive away monsters and animals. I observed the distribution of those trees, which is not very similar to natural formation."

Baili Mengyan Ruo thought, "Do you suspect this oasis is artificial?"

Luo Cheng looked at the ground under his feet, "The map of Death Desert has not been updated for a long time. If someone with a higher spiritual power than us comes in, it will take more than ten years to transform it... it is not impossible."

After those extremely vicious criminals fled into the Death Desert, they also spent so much time adapting to the Death Desert. However, the climate here is too poor, there are too few resources, and a little bit of luck will lose their lives. Not many people can really survive. Even Luo Cheng is cunning and silly, he dare not pat his chest to ensure that he will not be so unlucky and stay here.

After discovering the suspected traces here, their actions became lighter and lighter. It was already a time when the sky became darker. The trees in the oasis were unexpectedly tall, covering the surroundings with darkness.

Feng Rong made a few simple torches and distributed them to everyone. To be honest, among these people, he probably has the richest experience in survival in the wild.

Yan Hao stared at the torch curiously, and Luo Cheng pulled him to follow the team.

It does not look like a temporary oasis. There is a thick layer of leaves on the ground, which seems to have been accumulated over the years.

They followed the crossing route, and after walking for more than half an hour, they saw a lake full of water. The lake was very clear and reflected their blurry shadows.

"There is really a lot of water..." Luo Cheng frowned, "I just don't know if I can drink it."

Because of the poisonous fruit, they never touched the things in the oasis.
