The sandstorm swept in from afar at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, the visibility in the entire desert was less than five meters. Yun Xi held Bai Qing in his arms and clutched Huan Xueyi tightly. The cacti standing around did not react at all to the sandstorm.
, they are still accumulating their strength to attack Yun Xi one after another.
Curling up like a hedgehog, Yun Xi listened to the sound of the sandstorm getting closer, took a deep breath, and then held her breath.
Huhuhu——
The sandstorm was raging, and Yun Xi could feel that several corners of her clothes were lifted up. After all, the Magic Snow Clothes were clothes made by the demon tribe. There were no humanized zippers, so it was difficult for the body to be fully fixed in the strong wind. p>
Yun Xi tried her best to hold on to the front, and then tried to sit on the back, but she couldn't protect her fully.
Sand and gravel got in through the unclosed parts of the clothes. Fortunately, Yun Xi also had a coat under her Huanxue clothes, which firmly protected her head and prevented sand from getting into her mouth and nose.
As long as there are places that are protected, there will naturally be places that cannot be protected.
At a certain moment, Yun Xi's gums tightened and her body felt painful. Several fairy thorns pricked her body while a corner of her fantasy snow coat was lifted up.
‘This damn Sandstorm and Cactus are colluding with each other. They don’t respect martial ethics and they join forces to bully a weak woman like her. This is too much!’ Yun Xi thought angrily.
The sandstorm had now covered her location. The yellow sand filled the air and enveloped her in an instant. A huge whistling sound rang in the ears of Yun Xi and Bai Qing. Without spiritual protection, the sound was loud enough.
It makes their ears ring.
Yun Xi stood firmly on the spot. It had to be said that this cactus was a bit cruel to her, but it also played a certain role in this critical moment. It not only helped her block the wind and sand on one side, but also avoided
The clouds were blown up.
……
……
The sky was bright, and the sandstorm spread from far to near. After ravaging the area where the clouds were located, it drifted away again, and the surrounding visibility gradually returned to normal.
At this time, the yellow sand covered almost everything in the desert, except for a small area with these small sand dunes and many cacti, only half of which could be seen.
Salad!
The yellow sand was lifted up, and a figure climbed out of the dune.
Yun Xi shook the sand off her body, patted the dust on her face, and looked at the sandstorm that had gone away. After taking two mouthfuls of the sand in her mouth, she said angrily: "This damn place is really full of disasters.
!"
As he spoke, he turned around and glanced at his butt: "These damn cacti actually took the opportunity to sneak up on me!"
At this time, her small buttocks were pricked with many fairy thorns, which were caused by the sandstorm lifting her clothes just now.
Bai Qing was also very embarrassed at this time, and all his white fur was stained with dust, which made him very uncomfortable with severe mysophobia.
But instead of shaking its fur, it stretched out its paws and pointed at Yun Xi, laughing loudly: "Hahahaha! Don't be so angry, at least these cacti can't attack you now! Hahahaha!!!" p>
As Bai Qing said, the surrounding cacti temporarily stopped attacking due to the influence of the sandstorm.
But so what, feeling the pain coming from her buttocks, Yun Xi bared her teeth and said: "Don't gloat over me, please help me pull it out!"
Bai Qing shook the dust off his body, ran behind Yun Xi, and used his little paws to help Yun Xi pull out the fairy thorns.
"Squat down! Who can reach this high?"
Looking at the petite appearance of the little fox, Yun Xi squatted down in shame.
Obviously knowing that Yun Xi was injured while protecting himself, Bai Qing still found it funny when he saw those sharp thorns: "It feels like the thorns are so deep."
As it spoke, it poked a certain spike.
"Hiss—I'm going to kill you!"
There was a pain in her buttocks. Yun Xi took a deep breath and turned around as if giving Bai Qing a sword blow.
"Hahahaha!!"
Bai Qing laughed wantonly and quickly helped her pull out the thorns. After pulling out the thorns on her butt, he helped Yun Xi start to clean up the sharp thorns on her lower legs.
Yun Xi snorted, stood up and took off her Huanxue clothes. This clothes had helped her block so many rounds of attacks, so naturally it was hung with a lot of fairy thorns, and she had to clean them up.
"So many..."
Looking at the clusters of spikes on Huanxue's clothes, Yun Xi couldn't help but feel desperate.
"Just shake it a few more times and it will be fine. What a big deal. Huanxueyi is a spiritual creature of our Snow Fox Clan, so it is easy to be stumped by some small thorns."
Bai Qing said to Yun Xi.
"That's not how the word 'little prick head' is used."
Yun Xi retorted, shaking the Huan Xue Yi a few times, and found that it was exactly as Bai Qing said. The spikes that seemed to be wrapped around the Huan Xue Yi like brown sugar all fell off after being shaken a few times.
Come down.
Her eyes lit up, and she turned around and asked: "Do you Snow Fox Clan have other clothes that have this effect? I don't need Huanxue Yi, as long as it can prevent these dirty things from sticking to it!"
"Haha!"
Bai Qing gave her an indifferent smile.
The surrounding cacti remained silent at this time. While Yun Xi waited for Bai Qing to help her pull out all the thorns, she looked into the distance and looked for the way forward.
Suddenly, she blinked, stretched out her hand to rub her eyes, and stared ahead carefully.
About ten kilometers away from them, a touch of green loomed.
"Oasis?"
"Green porridge? What green porridge? Are you hungry and confused?"
Bai Qing looked up at her and said.
"..."
Yun Xi turned around, squatted down, stretched out her hands, put her hands through Bai Qing's lower armpits, lifted it up, and faced the direction of the oasis ahead.
"Did you see it? Green Island!"
Bai Qing's eyesight was better than Yun Xi's. Under Yun Xi's instructions, it saw a small green place in the distance.
"It's really an oasis! So what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Yun Xi put Bai Qing down: "Why don't you leave quickly? I'm a wounded person now!"
As she spoke, she squatted down and pulled out the remaining thorns on her body. Every time she pulled out a thorn, she felt a small pain.
These fairy thorns can't help but pierce deeply, and are even slightly toxic. If her body hadn't been immersed in Luo Shen's mind method and had already been equipped with healing and anti-toxic skills, even walking would be a problem now.
But even so, she still needs some time to heal, at least now it is impossible to exercise vigorously. Fortunately, after the storm, the cacti entered a stagnant period and did not attack them again for the time being.
After sorting everything out, Yun Xi and Bai Qing set out on the journey again.
Bai Qing continued to walk in front, looked at the thorn vines on his waist, turned around and said, "You said, I am dragging a humanoid pet along now?"
"I really want to kick you!"
Yun Xi clenched her fists and said.
Bai Qing smiled proudly.
Seeing Bai Qing like this, Yun Xi hesitated for a moment but still kept her expression and laughed. After getting along with each other for the past few days, she also found that she was really comfortable staying with Bai Qing. This little fox character
He is arrogant but not arrogant. If he quarrels with her, he will quarrel with her. But in critical moments, he will not abandon himself and run away alone.
She has always felt that the most important thing about spiritual cultivation is not how strong she is, but how many trustworthy and reliable companions she can meet along the way.
"Strong people are always lonely." She has always disagreed with this sentence, because people who are not lonely can also become strong.
The arrival of the sandstorm seemed dangerous, but in fact it seemed to bring an end to the stalemate between Yunxi and Bai Qing and the cactus. After the sandstorm passed, Yunxi and Bai Qing never encountered an attack from the cactus again. The oasis was in the same direction as the chimney. Yun Xi and Bai Qing stepped on the yellow sand and walked towards that side step by step.
On the way, Yun Xi occasionally looked back, and then realized that they had walked a long distance without knowing it, so far away that they could no longer see the outline of the forest.
He walked such a long distance without encountering quicksand. Yun Xi thought this might be because the senior demon king didn't know the principle of quicksand formation, so he didn't create this thing.
As for the reason of luck... She could encounter such a big sandstorm. If she said that there was quicksand in the desert because she was lucky and didn't encounter it, then she wouldn't believe it.
Sand will slow down people's progress. When Yun Xi and Bai Qing arrived outside the oasis, the sky was not as bright as before. Yun Xi rolled up her sleeves and looked at her watch and found that it was already afternoon.
After approaching the oasis, Yun Xi and Bai Qing discovered that the oasis was actually not as big as they initially judged, but it was completely enough for the two of them.
Yun Xi and Bai Qing walked into the oasis. They first passed a grassland, and after the grassland was a small forest. There were some fruit trees in the forest with fruits that Yun Xi couldn't name, but they looked like they should be edible.
Going further back is the lake that both Yun Xi and Bai Qing dream of.
The lake is not big, but the surface of the lake is as calm as a mirror. Suddenly a gust of wind blows, causing tiny ripples on the water, and people will find that the lake is so clear.
When Bai Qing saw the water, he immediately untied the thorn vines from his waist and rushed over.
It has endured the dust on its hair for a long time!
"Wait a minute, let's see if it's a saltwater lake or a freshwater lake first!"
Bai Qing paused: "What saltwater lake and freshwater lake?"
Yun Xi walked forward slowly. In fact, the wounds on her body had completely healed.
"The water in the desert is not so trustworthy. In short, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet."
She came to the lake and first checked the water quality. As a water cultivator, she seemed to have a natural affinity and familiarity with water. After confirming that it was a freshwater lake, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that man-made is man-made after all, and there are still many differences compared with nature.
She said: "You can take a bath, but don't drink the water. The water in the desert is not clean."
Bai Qing said: "Don't worry, I won't drink it even if you beg me to drink it!"
Yun Xi was convinced that Bai Qing had never been so arrogant before. He must have been exposed to more technologies in the past few years and learned badly.
Bai Qing jumped into the lake. It did not swim to the center of the lake, but carefully washed its body hair at the edge of the suitable height, so that if a situation arises, it can leave as quickly as possible.
Yun Xi, on the other hand, also loosened the thorn vines around her waist. She did not plan to go to the lake to bathe. Bathing in the open air was too insecure for her when she could not use her spiritual power.
She walked to some fruit trees nearby and prepared to climb up and pick some fruits.
She is not afraid of poison, so she can try it herself to see if these fruits can be eaten.
The existence of the oasis seems to provide rest time for travelers who have gone through hardships, just like the wasteland that exists between the river and the desert.
Yun Xi encountered no danger on the way to pick the fruit. After tasting the fruit, she found that it was not poisonous. At this time, her body and mind relaxed a lot.
She sat on the grass, leaning against the book, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling that her experiences these past few days were truly wonderful.
"Can I eat it?"
After taking a bath, Bai Qing shook off the water stains on her body and walked towards her.
Yun Xi shook the fruit in her hand: "Didn't you see that I was eating it?"
Bai Qing walked to Yun Xi and sat down, picked up a fruit and gnawed it. The fruit didn't have much juice, and the taste wasn't delicious, but it was rare to find something to eat in the desert.
So they didn't choose.
Yun Xi glanced at Bai Qing: "I thought you would ask me if I had washed myself."
Bai Qing held the fruit in his two little paws and turned to look over: "Have you washed it?"
"Not washed."
"..."
Bai Qing wanted to throw the fruit at Yun Xi's face, but in fact it also knew that in this desert, it couldn't ask for so much. It had a serious mysophobia, but that didn't mean it would give up its life. p>
They haven't eaten or drank for several days, and their energy has been exhausted several times during this period. It's a good thing to have supplies now.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you."
It picked up the fruit and took another bite.
Yun Xi smiled and continued to eat.
Bai Qing looked at some fruits left on the tree and said, "How about picking them all and hiding them? There will definitely be other people coming here later."
There are a total of eight stones and jade in the hidden room on the Qiandu Layer, which means that there is a high probability that six people will enter this space after them. If those people can survive the many crises ahead, they will probably pass by this oasis.
, when the time comes, you may need to eat some fruits to replenish your energy.
They are now picking all the fruits without leaving them for those behind. Maybe they can eliminate several competitors with this.
Yun Xi looked at Bai Qing: "Aren't you worried that there are people we know there?"
Bai Qing thought for a while: "It makes sense, so let's forget it."
After all, they have no way of inferring who will pass by here later. It is indeed a bit inhumane to want to kill everyone without knowing who it is.
Yun Xi twisted his neck and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there probably aren't many young people in the entire Monster Clan who can compete with us."
Bai Qing curled his lips: "You knew that the people who came in must be the younger generation? What if some strong men from the Spirit Tribulation Realm came? Then you would be in trouble if you met them on the Wantong layer."
"These are just possibilities, let's keep a thin line. In fact, compared to the people of the demon clan, I am more worried about other people..."
Yun Xi's eyes gradually became serious, and her expression was slightly serious.
Bai Qing's fox face showed some confusion, but he immediately reacted and said: "You mean the two people who appeared in the Buddha's secret realm? Aren't they dead?"
Yun Xi said: "If they die, there will always be others."
She quietly clenched her fists. If she encounters him again this time, she must find out who the other party is!
