The Fuxing flew slowly over the desert. Its autonomous power was severely damaged. The solid cabin was full of damage and dents. The airbag had been broken before. Fortunately, the hole was not big, and it was repaired in time by Swift Eagle and Baiwei.
It's a miracle that the Renaissance is still flying. Unfortunately, the water on the boat is running out.
The Fuxing has been flying at this slow speed for several days. The original seven barrels of water overturned two barrels in the chaos. With the increase in personnel and the consumption in the past few days, the water supply has bottomed out. Sha, who had the foresight.
The thieves were already collecting urine in bottles.
Solatum tried to collect water in the air, but it took a lot of magic power and couldn't collect a drop of water. He shook his head in confusion: "It shouldn't be. After walking for so many days, why hasn't the environment improved?
"
The evil ghost came from the side: "Old man, you don't have to try. This is a bad weather that often exists in the depths of the Forgotten Sea. The water element is driven away by the environment, and you can't even try to gather water even if you use up your magic power.
"
Solatum returned to the cabin from outside the cabin and turned back to him: "You are a lone traveler in the desert. You know where there is water and how to survive, right?"
The evil ghost smiled and said: "I am not a god. The desert is full of drought. Where can I find a drop of water? You have faith in gods. Ask gods to give you water."
Solatum turned away and said: "Celeste should have driven away you outsiders. You have been drinking water for the past few days and all the water has been used up."
"If you drive us away, will we leave? Everyone wants to live. To force people to a dead end is to force them to die. Don't you understand this truth?" The evil ghost still smiled at Solatum who left and said: "Old man
, don’t think I don’t know, you still have life-saving water hidden in your private space. Why don’t you share it?”
When Solatum walked to the corridor of the cabin, he immediately received the greedy eyes of many people, including sand pirates and people from other mercenary groups.
"Hmph!" Solatum said loudly: "I want water, but it's only enough for me to drink a few sips by myself. It's useless to share it with everyone. The most important thing is to find the water source, otherwise everyone will not survive."
The space of the Fuxing airship was originally relatively large, but now that there are so many people, and no one wants to stay on the deck where the sun is shining, the space inside the cabin has become very cramped.
Bing Zhixie was checking on Eva's condition. Xiumia, who had some medical experience, worried: "Her body has been heating up and needs to be cooled down and hydrated. If she doesn't give her water, she will die."
Alice looked at her master worriedly. She had not had any water for more than 20 hours. In addition, she had been getting angry due to eating and worrying in the past few days, and her lips were full of cracks and peeling skin.
Bing Zhixie shook his head and sighed: "I asked Shakhan, but he didn't know where to find water."
"According to our current flying speed, it will take many days to fly out of the depths of the desert. In this environment, we are all in danger." Her voice was hoarse and soft in the last half of the sentence, obviously she was really scared.
Solatum came into the room and said: "Celeste, go find the evil ghost. He has a way to obtain water. He is the only one on the boat who doesn't care about the current situation of water shortage."
Alice was delighted: "Really? Hey, why don't you find him yourself and insist on letting my master go?"
"If he doesn't say anything, I can't do anything to him." Solatum said.
"I understand." Bing Zhixie turned and left.
Xiegui sat at the dining table, tapping his fingers on the table. When he saw Bing Zhixie coming over, he said, "I knew you would come to me."
Bing Zhixie sat down opposite him and stared at him gently.
"Why do you keep looking at me? I'm not a beauty."
Bing Zhixie said: "You knew I would come, so you should know why I came to you."
The evil ghost knocked on the table silently, and the two gold rings of different styles on his fingers shone brightly in the sunlight outside the window.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Bing Zhixie said directly: "If you don't tell me, I will kill you."
The evil ghost chuckled and placed the yellowed bone claw made from the upper jaw of some kind of beast on the table: "You don't have this ability."
"You want to try it?"
"Evil ghosts are not afraid of threats." The evil ghost is still smiling and looking relaxed.
Bing Zhixie thought for a while and smiled slightly: "I wonder if you came all the way to such a dangerous place just to watch the fun? When you dealt with Cang Ye, you didn't take any action."
"There is no chance for me to take action." Xie Gui stared at him, stepped forward and said, "What do you think I am here for?"
"You don't want to wait until everyone is exhausted, and then in a situation like this, you threaten water to force everyone to do whatever you want for you."
"Are you thinking that the Sun Dancers are too stupid, or do you think that I am too bad? During the battle, some of them have always been wary of variables." The evil ghost said, "As for the lack of water, everyone brought it with them when they came.
With enough water, something like this happens completely by accident."
Bing Zhixie said: "It is said to be an accident, but it is actually very likely. Maybe this is the possibility you are waiting for... Forget it, I won't tell you this anymore. If you want to threaten everyone with water, you will get what you want.
It’s about everyone resisting together.”
Xie Gui shook his head and said softly: "Why do you think I can find water? My current situation is as difficult as everyone else's." As he spoke, he glanced at the other people in the cabin.
Xiumia and Garland lit up many water-based magic crystals in the room, but no matter how Xiumia extracted the water elements emitted from the crystals, she could not turn them into water and make them active in the environment.
She used some of the magic tools she brought with her, and only water particles that were one-fifth the size of a grain of sand condensed on the staff, which lasted for less than two seconds and then dissipated.
Garland lay on the bed to slow down his consumption and said: "According to this situation, everyone will die in two or three days. It's time to write a suicide note."
Humea wanted to say something to ease this sad mood, but what could she say? She herself felt heavy.
In the corridor, Ilyich saw Alice hesitant to speak. When he saw her entering Celeste's room, he leaned against the bulkhead and stood next to the hatch.
Bing Zhixie was in the room, and Alice closed the door, stepped forward and asked quietly: "Master, do you still have some water hidden?"
Bing Zhixie looked at her and nodded slightly.
Alice begged: "Eva looks so uncomfortable, can Master give her some water?"
"I know, now is not the time." Bing Zhixie whispered.
Alice was anxious: "She is about to die. If it's too late, I'm afraid..."
Bing Zhixie waved her hand to stop her: "If she dies, it is her life. Don't finish talking now, I need to be quiet."
Alice felt a chill in her heart. She didn't expect her master to say such cold and heartless words. But when she thought that her master had been like this before, always saying he was cold, but in fact he was not so heartless, she felt at ease, thinking that master would never be so heartless.
He would ignore Eva and watch her die.
Bing Zhixie pondered the expression of Xie Gui. No matter how open-minded a person is, he would not act like that when he is in a desperate situation, so he must have a way to survive. But it is hard to say what the situation will be if he is forced to do so. Judging from his appearance, he will not act like that.
He is very confident in his own strength, and he can find water even if he fights to the death. It is difficult to persuade everyone to attack him together and force him. Everyone is more or less injured, so it would be bad if he is forced to run away.
Already.
A sudden flash occurred in Bing Zhixie's mind: "He really wants to hide that he can find water. He could just act dejected like everyone else. There is no need to look relaxed and at ease. Is he doing this deliberately to let everyone take the initiative to ask for him?"
