Suddenly some scattered supplies appeared on the desert, scattered all over the ground, many of which were half buried in the yellow sand. Alice and Bing Zhixie ran over and looked around. Alice said: "It's Schaller
They must have been exposed to the hot wind and dust yesterday." She had seen the boxes and sacks used by the Schaller family to transport food and supplies, and recognized them at a glance.
"There are no corpses of humans or monsters here. They should have chosen to give up their supplies to avoid the foehn wind." Bing Zhixie flew into the air in a few steps, looked into the distance, and then fell back to the ground.
As soon as Alice looked at her master's expression, she knew that she had not found anything. She prayed: "I hope nothing happens to them. By the way, isn't there an oasis nearby? They may have escaped to the oasis. Let's go and have a look."
"But before that, let's take some food and water with us." Bing Zhixie picked up a crowbar on the ground and pried open a wooden box. Several bottles of rum in the box were still intact.
Alice smiled and took out a bottle, and asked the master to chill it for a while before opening it. She drank a few sips of the amber-colored cold wine. She chirped, licked her lips with her little tongue, and sighed:
"It tastes really good. I haven't had such an enjoyable sweet drink in almost a month."
Since they abandoned these supplies, Bing Zhixie unceremoniously obtained enough food from them and stored it in another space. However, because they lost their compass, they could only judge the direction intuitively to find the oasis, but after several hours of searching, they found nothing.
turn up.
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 going on? Where is the oasis? They said it is not far to the east. Why can't I find it after looking for so long?
?Are we going in the wrong direction?"
The yellow sand nearby is flat, there are no sand dunes with large undulations, and there is still a sandy land around it. From here, you can see far away at a glance. If there is an oasis, they should have seen it long ago.
Bing Zhixie looked at the vast yellow sand, with a worried look on his eyebrows, and said: "They said that it was a small oasis, maybe... it was destroyed and buried by yesterday's foehn wind and yellow sand."
Alice was shocked: "No way! Aren't those people very dangerous!?"
Yesterday's foehn wind and sand dust were so strong that they could be described as filling the sky. It is not unusual for a small oasis to be buried by sand and dust.
Bing Zhixie also has this worry. If there is not a good shelter from yesterday's wind disaster, even an expert will have a hard time surviving. If the oasis is really not spared from being annihilated, something will happen to the Schaller family.
The probability is very high. But what we cannot determine now is the location of the oasis. What should we do?
Alice was worried about this when she suddenly kicked something hard under her feet. She pushed aside a layer of yellow sand on the surface and discovered an old well.
The well was sealed with a thick stone slab, and there were two lifting rings on the slab. Bing Zhixie walked over and took a look, and said, "Come on, Alice, let's move the manhole cover and take a look."
It took some effort for the two of them to move away the heavy stone slab on the old well, and a dark well hole was exposed. Bing Zhixie squatted by the well, shot a fireball and dropped it into the well. This well was about 20 years old.
It is more than meters deep, and the bottom has been filled with yellow sand. It is a dead well.
Alice was a little disappointed and was about to speak, but Bing Zhixie made a silent gesture and listened at the mouth of the well. Alice didn't know why, so she also listened at the mouth of the well.
Bing Zhixie seemed to have heard something just now, but now he couldn't hear it anymore. He asked Alice, "Did you hear something?"
Alice shook her head no.
Bing Zhixie listened for a while, but there was still no sound, and she became suspicious.
Alice said: "Master, could it be that you heard it wrong? I didn't hear anything except the sound of the wind."
Bing Zhixie got up and took a look nearby, and soon found a dry leaf under the sand layer more than ten meters away. The leaf had dried out due to water loss, but the leaf surface was thick, not the kind of leaves of grass and flowers. They again
After searching nearby, I quickly found a lot of dried plants, as well as some man-made objects and wooden board debris, all buried by the yellow sand.
Alice dug out a silver metal dinner plate from the sand and said in surprise: "Master, is this an oasis?"
Bing Zhixie nodded: "It's very possible." He immediately thought of the sound he heard at the entrance of the well, and became more and more sure that the sound was true. He said, "Although I'm not sure, the sound I heard vaguely just now might be someone.
Ask for help below."
"Are they buried down there?"
Bing Zhixie and Alice returned to the well and said to her: "You stay up there, I'll go down and have a look." After saying that, he turned over and jumped down.
The four walls of the well were dry and made of small square bricks, with no moss at all. Bing Zhixie stood in it and didn't hear a sound. Bing Zhixie wondered if he had really heard wrong? He used
He touched the surrounding well walls and suddenly found that one of the well walls was cool, and the temperature was lower than the temperature next to it. He touched this well wall and searched carefully, and soon found two loose stone bricks.
.
Above the well, Alice looked at Bing Zhixie's movements and asked, "Master, did you discover anything?"
Bing Zhixie pulled out two square bricks and saw a mechanism. After triggering the mechanism, a small door immediately opened on the wall of the well, and a cool wind blew out from the door. He looked inside.
He said to Alice above: "There is a secret passage here, let me go in and take a look."
"Should I go down?"
"No, you wait above." Bing Zhixie took out the magic crystal and lit it, then ducked into the secret passage.
The secret passage leads downwards diagonally, and is surrounded by rough earth and rock formations. The further you climb, the wider the front becomes, and it will soon be able to accommodate people to stand up straight. Not long after Bing Zhixie walked down, he could already feel
As the air gradually became moist, he thought to himself: "There is underground water down here. It is indeed an oasis."
He took the crystal and looked around, when he heard a hoarse voice shouting from the cave: "Who is it!?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Who are you?" Bing Zhixie stopped walking and asked while standing on the rocky slope.
After a while, the man in the cave said: "Are you Celeste?"
Bing Zhixie heard that the voice sounded familiar and said in surprise: "Ruola?" The other party's voice was so hoarse that he almost didn't recognize it.
"It's me, it's me!" Ruola shouted happily and hurried towards the light. After running a few steps, she fell in the darkness.
Bing Zhixie heard the sound and found that Ruola was not very far away from her, so she carefully slid down the rock slope. When she got to the bottom, she saw Ruola with her head broken and bleeding. Bing Zhixie helped her up and asked: "
Why are you here? Where are the Schallers?"
Ruola was very panicked and said: "They are inside. I don't know what happened to them. They are all lying on the ground motionless. I can't wake them up."
Bing Zhixie was startled and said, "Take me to have a look."
After walking inside for a while, Bing Zhixie soon saw a group of people lying in the cave. Most of them were servants of the Schaller family and people from the White Skeleton mercenary group. In addition, there were some other people. These people
They all fell to the ground without a sound. I checked their noses and found that they were all still breathing. However, no matter how hard I screamed or pushed, I couldn't wake them up.
Ruola was anxious and frightened, so she told Bing Zhixie what happened.
Yesterday, like Bing Zhixie, they encountered the Foehn wind attack unique to the Forgotten Sea on the road. Because there were too many vehicles and horses with supplies, which affected everyone's speed, Charles Tyson had no choice but to abandon the supplies and lead everyone to escape to the oasis.
.This small oasis has been in the desert for many, many years. Every two or three years, it will experience a foehn attack, destroying the oasis and the small hotels and restaurants built here.
However, there is underground water, and the lost oasis will grow again soon, so every time the foehn comes, people here will hide in underground caves to take shelter until the foehn passes and then come out to rebuild. Tyson and others and the locals
Everyone hid in the underground cave together, expecting to retrieve supplies again after the foehn wind passed, but after the night passed, only Ruola woke up, while the others slept on the ground motionless as if they were dead.
Ruola stayed alone in the cave for a day, shouting until her voice became hoarse, and no one came to save her. She almost gave up in despair. But she didn't expect...
