It is an extremely simple house, with all the attributes of a broken house such as air leakage, rain leakage, etc., but the house is still neat and tidy.
The only relatively complete piece of furniture was a wooden chair, on which the thin father Lal was lying weakly.
Father Lal, who has a long beard, is actually not very old. His actual age is only around fifty years old. He just looks exhausted and dead.
Seeing that Little Jim brought back nothing but a stranger who didn't look like a good person (Chen Rui:...), Father Lar didn't save any face for Little Jim. He yelled and cursed.
Throwing things away, they wanted to drive Little Jim and Chen Rui out.
"Your body is not an ordinary injury, but you have been poisoned."
Chen Rui's first words made his father's scolding stop abruptly.
"You can see that little Jim seemed to be forced to come here by me. You were afraid of causing trouble to him, so you deliberately drove him away. Don't worry, I have no ill intentions."
The second sentence fell into his ears, and Father Lar's eyes suddenly froze. Just as little Jim was about to say something, he saw a dazzling white light emitting from Chen Rui's body, and he couldn't even open his eyes for a moment.
After the light subsided, Father Lal's expression had changed from shock to surprise. The haggard look on his face gradually faded away, and a rosy color appeared after the old sick look had been swept away.
Father Lal gave a low shout, and an aura containing power burst out and spread in all directions. The muscles in his whole body swelled like an inflated ball. His shirt was almost bursting, and some kind of tattoo on his chest was all broken.
When it was revealed, the whole house suddenly shook.
Little Jim couldn't believe his eyes. He had only seen similar power in the famous strong man in the city, Sheriff William. When did Dad have such power? It was even worse!
Is this strong man... the usual sickly old guy?
Father Lal took a few deep breaths: "Thank you, sir."
Although he said thank you, there was no trace of gratitude in Father Lal's tone, the expression on his face was very cold, and his eyes were full of vigilance.
"The momentum you just broke out was intentional. If I can't stand it, I'm afraid your thank you will be in another way." Chen Rui frowned and glanced at Little Jim: "You
A person who has the heart to raise an orphan and behaved like that just now should not be a ruthless and unjust person. Why do you have this attitude towards people who are kind to you?"
"My lord, there is no need to beat around the bush. I never thought that I would be found here after hiding for more than ten years." Father Lal sighed, "I don't think your lord is the kind of referee who indiscriminately eradicates the roots. He should be a big shot with status."
, I can go with you, but this child is innocent and has no strength or value at all. Please spare his life. Otherwise, once I risk my life, even if I can't die with you, you will inevitably suffer accidents.
small damage."
referee?
Hidden for more than ten years?
Chen Rui shook his head, okay, it was another misunderstanding.
However, he has already had a lot of experience of being misunderstood. At this time, the more he explained, the more unclear he became. So Chen Rui didn't say much and moved his fingers slightly.
Little Jim felt that his vision was blurred, as if something had happened. But Laer's father was already standing there, his eyes full of horror and despair - Little Jim couldn't feel it, but he felt it clearly.
The power he felt just now almost shattered the entire space. Such strength was far beyond his imagination. It was simply not something he could shake. One finger could make him disappear into ashes. What's ridiculous is that he just now
He also threatened to harm both sides.
"Let me make one thing clear first. You have misunderstood. I am not from the church and I don't know you. I came to you today just for something else. Do you understand?"
Father Lal was startled. When he saw Chen Rui walking over and sitting directly on his chair, he shook it leisurely. Only then did he react. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. His body shrank again and returned to its usual skinny appearance.
He bowed and saluted.
"I understand! With the strength you just showed, my life and death are completely under my control. I can't even commit suicide. There is no need to lie."
Chen Rui secretly thought that this was indeed the way to eliminate the misunderstanding. Unfortunately, other people who had misunderstood, such as Benji and Satan, would not be able to solve the problem in this way. Even the king of elements should be his true form.
An incomparable existence.
"To be honest with you, sir, I was the target of the Church's pursuit back then and I have been hiding in this small town for seventeen years. The dispersing power you just used to remove toxins from my body should only be used by the top brass of the Church of Light.
Come out, that's why I have such misunderstanding, please forgive me."
Chen Rui nodded: "The poisonous wound on your body is specific and stubborn. In fact, it has not been completely cured just now. However, I can only use this ability once an hour. After a while, I will use it a few more times and it should be completely eliminated."
"My Lord's power is simply amazing." Father Lal said with emotion: "Even the poison of the Phantom Spring water can be eliminated."
"Phantom Spring Water?" Chen Rui's ears suddenly stood up. It was actually a treasure that could not be found everywhere, to repair the heart of the water element?
Wait a minute, although "Phantom Ice Spring" and "Phantom Spring Water" are just one word apart, are they the same thing?
"Have you ever heard of Phantom Spring before?" Chen Rui calmed down and asked, "I have heard of Phantom Ice Spring, but I wonder if there is any connection between the two?"
"Sir, you are indeed well-informed. Phantom Ice Spring is the essence of Phantom Spring water. Only one drop is produced every few hundred years. Its specific function is unknown."
It took no effort to find it even after trying hard to find it! I was so lucky this time, and I actually got this unexpected good news!
Chen Rui was overjoyed and asked calmly: "This ice spring has some effect on me. Where did you get poisoned?"
It takes hundreds of years for the Phantom Spring to produce a single drop of Phantom Ice Spring. I don’t know if the time limit has come now. No matter what, I must go and see it.
"It is in this Black Prison Desert. Have you ever heard of the name Dream Oasis?"
"The Phantom Spring is in the Dream Oasis?" Chen Rui looked surprised. This trip to the Black Prison Desert seemed to be the right one!
Father Lal nodded, and Chen Rui glanced at him: "I came to you this time just for the dreamy oasis. I wonder if you are willing to accompany me to find this mysterious oasis?"
Father Lar glanced at little Jim, who quickly shook his head: "Dad, I didn't say anything!"
Chen Rui smiled calmly: "He did not say it. You know, there are some things in this world that even if you don't say it, you may not be able to hide it from others, let alone he is still a child."
There should be many secrets about this father Lal, such as why he was hunted down by the church, why he hid in this border town for more than ten years, etc. However, for Chen Rui, the greatest value of Lal is the Dream Oasis, and the rest he
I won't delve into it.
Fire-condensing crystal sand and phantom icy spring are all things that are determined to be obtained.
"I can guarantee your safety and the price is easy to talk about."
"Although your Excellency is powerful, the Black Prison Desert is not an ordinary place. I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself by then. I managed to escape only by luck..." Father Lal sighed: "
I dare not ask you what the purpose of going to the Black Hell Desert is, but since you decide to go, you must be quite aware."
"So, you agree?"
Father Lal gave a bitter smile: "Can I still refuse?"
Soon after, Chen Rui and Father Lal put on the attire of ordinary desert residents and walked out of the city gate.
"This is actually not the residential area closest to the Black Hell Desert in the Kingdom of Shahan. There is also a Shima Town on the outer edge of the desert, which is rich in magical materials such as secret magic sand and blue earth sand. There were originally many residents there. But now there are quite a few there.
Part of it was controlled by sand bandits and almost turned into a stronghold. Only some businessmen with strong guards dared to go to trade, and some bold people bypassed Shima Town and went directly to the outer edge of the desert to explore and mine materials, but...
…Some of these people were killed by sand bandits, and some were buried in the desert, with very little chance of survival.”
"But there are still people going, right?" Chen Rui frowned.
"Just to survive." Father Lal shook his head, "Me too."
"Don't worry, I said you won't die. You won't die."
"Actually, your Excellency has already given little Jim a huge sum of money and killed the city guard captain, Pino's brother-in-law, to avoid future troubles. As long as that kid is smarter, he will have nothing to worry about in his life." Father Lar
He laughed at himself: "Back then I just wanted to raise him to hide him from others, but after so many years, I have developed some feelings for him."
"We are going to Shima Town now?"
"The Black Prison Desert is as vast as the ocean. The dream oasis you are looking for is located in the core area of the Black Prison Desert. It contains special power and is many times more dangerous than the outside. Even for ordinary people,
Even those who can survive the terrifying sandstorms on the periphery will get lost in the strange forces along the way, unable to find the real core area at all.
Chen Rui nodded, as if he were in the Sea of Death. Even if he had a map of the sea area, it would be difficult to find the real red double-fang sea area without the help of the water element king. It would take less than a year and a half to succeed.
.And in this desert, there is no map at all, so we have to rely on old horses like Father Lal who know the way.
"I was a little distracted just now, please continue."
"Let's go to Shima Town and make a deal with the shipyard there, which is to buy or rent a desert boat. With the desert boat here, it will be much easier to enter the core desert. Don't worry, sir, the owner of the shipyard and I, Old Pan Rui,
It’s an old friendship, and although we haven’t seen each other for a few years, we can still sell some face.”
Ship in the Desert? The nine-year compulsory education in another world is undoubtedly a success. Even though it has been so long, Chen Rui's first reaction when hearing these four words is still that of some kind of animal.
Father Lal did not speak anymore because he had already entered the windy and sandy area. Even though it was only the outer area, the sand and dust still made it very inconvenient to speak. Most of the time, he covered his face with a mask or a face towel.
When Chen Rui followed Laer's father all the way to Shima Town, he finally saw that the so-called desert boat was not a camel, but a real ship.
On the surface, this kind of ship is not much different from ordinary small sea-going ships. It has masts, sails, cabins, anchors, etc., but the shape of the hull is slightly different, and below it is a special wheel-type paddle drive.
