Chapter 23: Glorious Earth, Water and All Things!
After the first level of Spring Forest ended, Lin Man'er and the others entered the second level - Summer Sand.
Summer Sand, as the name suggests, is a summer desert. It stands to reason that it is not difficult for a mind practitioner to cross the desert. However, as soon as Lin Man'er stepped into the desert, he clearly felt that his cultivation had been further suppressed.
In other words, in addition to the innate physique of the orc race like Kite, the body refining realm has also been weakened. This raises a very serious question, that is, can mortals cross the desert?
After Lin Man'er and the three of them marched for an hour, Bai Zhi became dehydrated due to the heat. In desperation, Lin Man'er could only carry her forward. However, Lin Man'er's situation at the moment is not much better.
In this way, speechless all the way, the three of them marched for about two hours. Facing the endless desert and the fireball-like sun above, Lin Man'er actually felt a sense of despair in his heart. At that moment, he sighed and said to the kite beside him, "Why don't you go first?" ”
The kite swept left and right, shook her head and said, "Judging from the current situation, if I leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to last long." ”
Lin Man'er rolled her eyes, nodded and asked, "Well, it makes sense, what about changing your back?" ”
Kite was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Man'er's treacherous expression, and asked, "Only carry her... Or do you two carry it? ”
Lin Man'er smiled and said cheekily: "If you can carry me on your back, then I will naturally be willing." ”
The kite stepped on the soft sand, shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm afraid it's hard for me to walk with the weight of two people." ”
"It's okay, Angelica Angelica is very light, and I don't weigh much."
Kite smiled helplessly, stared at Lin Man'er's eyes, and said word by word: "You are a big man and let me be a woman, do you think it is appropriate?" ”
"Uh...... Actually, you can also think of me as a woman, I don't have any opinions. ”
The kite was satisfied, bent over and turned around, and made a posture of carrying people. I thought that Lin Man'er was just joking, but I didn't think that this guy really climbed onto the back of the kite. In this regard, Kite could only purse her lips and said sarcastically: "Sister Lin, control the things under you, so as not to lose the seed." ”
Lin Man'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't have much interest in the orc clan." ”
The kite snorted and bowed her head and walked forward. On the way, they also met many women who fell to the ground due to dehydration. Some of them were drained of blood and eaten by the body. Obviously, this is not the work of the beasts of the desert, because the beasts are not picky about their food.
Well, there is only one result left. Namely, man eats man. Moreover, it is very likely that someone in the company did it. Lin Man'er sighed in his heart, this was the first time he had seen people cannibalism.
Kite seemed to see Lin Man'er's thoughts, and pretended to be pitiful: "Tsk...... What a beautiful skin! Unfortunately, only the wreckage remains. It is said that orcs are fierce and ruthless, but orcs never attack their companions. ”
Lin Man'er didn't speak, her chin rested on Kite'er's shoulder, pretending to be tired. Kite glared at her with disgust, but Lin Man'er was stunned and didn't react. At that moment, his shoulders fell down, and he suddenly picked it up again, hitting Lin Man'er's chin hard.
However, she wanted to make Lin Man'er suffer a little, but she didn't admit that her shoulder was in pain, like hitting a hard and sharp rock. Kite was shocked and asked, "You haven't lost your cultivation?" ”
Lin Man'er continued to put his chin on the shoulder of the kite, and replied lazily: "If that's the case, do I still need you to carry it?" ”
Kite is not a fool, so naturally she will not believe Lin Man'er's nonsense. However, she thought about it, if Lin Man'er really had combat power, then she didn't need to worry about security. At that moment, he retaliated and grabbed the piece of meat on Lin Man'er's waist, and then ran wildly on the soft yellow sand.
After a quick ride, the kite also felt a little tired, and the time was near, and the temperature in the desert reached the peak of the day. So, Kite planned to find a place to rest. Otherwise, even if she could resist it, Bai Zhi wouldn't be able to resist it.
Fortunately, Kite saw a red willow tree not far away. It's not huge, but it provides a hint of shade.
Under the red willow tree, Kite said to Lin Man'er, "You can come down." ”
However, Lin Man'er did not respond to her, and seemed to be asleep. Kite had fire in her heart, and directly threw Lin Man'er and Bai Zhi to the ground together. Lin Man'er reacted quickly and turned around in time to avoid Bai Zhi from falling and hurting herself.
After seeing this scene, Kite became even more annoyed, and asked, "It's all women too, it's too much for you to do this." ”
Lin Man'er slowly put down Bai Zhi, looked at the angry kite, and said with a smile: "You have a thick foundation, and it's not a big deal to carry two people." But Bai Zhi is different, her body is already weak, and her cultivation is blocked, so she is completely an ordinary person. In such a hot weather, if I didn't protect her, how could she go to the end? ”
"Don't quibble, I'm talking about you sleeping on my back. It's in vain that I've worked so your back, but what about you? There is no understanding. ”
"Okay, okay, you've worked hard, I shouldn't sleep, I apologize, right?"
The kite snorted and sat on the ground. Lin Man'er was happy in his heart, and dug two humanoid sand pits under the red willow trees in the way of dog planing. After that, Angelica Angelica was first put in and lightly covered with yellow sand. He lay in another bunker, sleeping with his eyes closed.
After seeing this scene, Kite was so angry that she grinded her teeth. At that moment, grab Lin Man'er's ankle and drag him out of the sand pit. Then, he lay down comfortably in it.
The sun is shining, and the wind is sweeping the yellow sand. The small red willow tree acts as a shelter, sheltering from the sun and sand, selflessly guarding life in the desert.
Lin Man'er looked at everything in front of him, thinking about the purpose of the moon god's setting of this level. It's a pity that no matter how hard he racks his brains to think about it, he just can't figure it out. It stands to reason that the first level tests conduct, and the second level should test ability.
But what can you do in the face of a barren, hot, and endless desert? Could it be to survive in the wilderness? But the question is, is this a piece of? If you encounter an enemy, you don't have to rely on your fists to speak.
Taking a step back, those who can pass the first level basically mean that there is nothing wrong with their conduct. However, when faced with the choice of death, they will still choose to sacrifice others to save themselves. No way, to some extent, human nature can't stand the test.
Since the moon gods preach the eternal light, it is time for them to fight against the forces of darkness. But now, the blockade is cultivated, and it is thrown on the barren desert, so it is still a fart! It's good not to die of sunburn, or death.
Lin Man'er really couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't want to, and leaned on the red willow to rest. Wait for the sun to go down and the temperature drops before thinking about the next step!
The heat is undoubtedly a good sleep aid, and Lin Man'er and the others soon fell asleep. And this dreamland is the beginning of the real test of the summer sand.
In his dreamland, Lin Man'er walked alone in the desert, and there was a crescent moon sign on his forehead, as if he had a moon ring stone pasted on it. As for Angelica Angelica and Kite, they have become two corpses buried deep under the yellow sand.
According to Lin Man'er's character, in this case, he will definitely fight with the moon god. However, the moon god gave him another option. That is, if you complete the test, you can resurrect two people. Otherwise, not only will Bai Zhi and Kite not be resurrected, but even he will have to cut himself.
Lin Man'er had no choice but to agree to the conditions of the moon god. Of course, in order to ensure that Lin Man'er would cut himself after defeat, he had to accept the control of the moon god. This is also where the meniscus mark on his forehead comes from.
Today, Lin Man'er has walked in the desert for three days and three nights. During this time, he did not take a sip of food or drink a sip of water. Moreover, his previous confident hole cards were also completely blocked by the crescent moon on his forehead. In other words, Lin Man'er was a mortal with a strong physique at the moment. He would shiver with cold, and faint with hunger and thirst.
Finally, at the dawn of the fourth day, Lin Man'er finally saw a glimmer of hope. Namely, a desert oasis. However, it is clear that hope is in sight, but every time he gets closer, that hope is dashed. Like a mirage, it is impossible to reach.
Lin Man'er sighed and continued to move forward. Luckily, he saw the desert oasis again. Unfortunately, it was another mirage. Three times in a row, Lin Man'er roared like crazy. He felt like a clown, being played mercilessly.
However, after the roar, he chose to move on. There is no way, he can't give up, even if he is teased, he has to bear it. Because he is not alone, he still bears the hope of resurrecting Angelica and Kite on his shoulders.
Finally, after his eighth disappointment, he finally saw a true desert oasis. He was so sure because he saw something he hadn't seen before. Namely, killing.
Yes, on a desert oasis, a group of people are fighting each other. And their purpose is the water source in the oasis. In this regard, Lin Man'er is really difficult to understand. Because, judging from the water reserves of the oasis, it is completely enough for everyone to drink wildly.
As he pondered, a badly injured man rolled at his feet. I saw that his mouth was dry and cracked, his face was yellow and thin, and he looked like he was about to die. Lin Man'er sighed, untied a section of grass root from his waist, and handed it to the man.
The man swallowed the grass roots like a starving ghost, and stared at Lin Man'er viciously. Lin Man'er sneered and asked, "Do you think you can kill me?" ”
The man's mind moved, and he knelt on the ground and begged Lin Man'er to give him a little more. Lin Man'er grabbed the man's throat and asked, "I gave you food, so that you can have the strength to kill me?" ”
The man seemed desperate, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye. Lin Man'er snorted coldly, shook off the man, and asked, "There is clearly a water source in front, why do you want to fight?" ”
The man lay on the ground and said to himself, "Retribution! It's all retribution! ”
It turns out that the water source in the oasis is highly poisonous, and if you drink it, you will die instantly. However, before that, there was no poison in the water. The reason for all this starts with a woman in the oasis.
Originally, the woman and her family lived peacefully in the oasis. A few days ago, when the woman went out to play, she met a group of hungry and thirsty men. The Oasis woman was kind-hearted and took them home.
However, the woman's move is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house. Sure enough, after the man and his party had eaten and drunk enough, they had evil intentions and actually killed the woman's family and monopolized the oasis. What's more, they even attacked the woman who saved their lives.
Later, the woman suffered in silence and committed suicide by throwing herself into the water one night. Strangely, after the woman's death, all the water sources in the oasis were infected with venom and killed immediately.
Then, due to the lack of water, the men and his party began to fight each other. The purpose is to drink the flesh and blood of the other party in order to survive. Moreover, they only kill one at a time, intending to drag the water source to the poison.
After Lin Man'er listened, he looked at it and said with a smile: "You can live until now, you are lucky!" ”
The man looked at the blue sky and let out a wry smile. Just about to say something, he was killed by Lin Man'er with a punch. After that, Lin Man'er wiped his bloody fist and said with a look of disgust: "I feel disgusted when I hear a word." ”
At the same time, the man's companions found Lin Man'er and rushed up in a swarm. Lin Man'er kept smiling, pointed to the oasis in front of him and said, "I have a way to remove the toxin, but I need to borrow something from you." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and asked Lin Man'er what he wanted to borrow. Lin Man'er swept left and right, and said word by word: "Your head." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lin Man'er rushed towards the strongest one of the people. There is no way, his cultivation is completely lost at the moment, and he can only rely on brute force to fight. To do this, he must take out the strongest.
In a life-and-death struggle, Lin Man'er killed all the scum, cut off everyone's heads with stones, and placed them by the lake one by one. After that, he lay on the ground exhausted, and said to himself, "I know that you have a grudge in your heart, but what you see is only part of it.
There are wicked people and good people in this world, and it is like a water source in an oasis that can nurture your family of good people and poison the scourge. However, there is nothing wrong with the water source itself. I hope you can calm your grievances and get rid of the toxins. Of course, if you are resentful, I won't blame you, after all, it can't be eliminated if you were me. ”
After Lin Man'er finished speaking, he closed his eyes and waited quietly for death. There is no way, he killed that group of scourges without losing his cultivation, and he is already at the end of his power.
Looking back on his experience in recent years, he thinks it is very exciting. At the same time, he is also very unwilling, but so what? Death is the destination of all living beings! Isn't it the hope in our hearts that truly lasts forever? Perhaps this is the so-called light!
Glorious earth, water and all things! The sudden crying of a woman in the desert oasis is a complex emotion that contains grievances, self-blame, remorse, and unbearable.
After a long time, the crying stopped, and turned into a burst of relieved laughter. At the same time, the water of the lake slowly rose, gradually submerging Lin Man'er......
——————————
In the desert on a summer night, a woman in a white dress curled up in a ball under the moonlight. I don't know if it's because of the erosion of the cold, or because of the desolation of the night.
Suddenly, there was a roar in the night sky, and a black shadow fell beside the woman. The woman was frightened and subconsciously avoided it. After a long time, the woman found that there was no movement, so she mustered up the courage and carefully went to check with the help of the faint moonlight. At first glance, the woman burst into tears.
"Brother Lin, what's wrong with you, wake up!" It's a pity that Lin Man'er didn't respond in the slightest.
Angelica wiped away her tears, adjusted her breathing, and tried to calm herself down. After that, she carefully checked Lin Man'er's injuries and found that it was caused by hunger, thirst and hunger for days. Bai Zhi got up and looked around, but how could there be food and water in the barren desert.
After thinking about it, Bai Zhi rolled up her sleeves and bit down hard to open the blood vessels, so as to save Lin Man'er. Unfortunately, this can only be saved for a while. So, Bai Zhi wanted to carry Lin Man'er to seek a desert oasis. However, with her weak body, how could she carry Lin Man'er. In desperation, Bai Zhi had no choice but to tear her clothes into strips, tie up Lin Man'er, and drag her little by little.
Regrettably, there is no hope at all in the endless desert. With Bai Zhi's physical strength, let alone dragging Lin Man'er, it is impossible to walk out even if he walks alone.
However, Bai Zhi did not give up, although she could not see hope, although she knew that she would fall, she still chose to move on. Finally, she couldn't walk anymore, lying beside Lin Man'er, quietly waiting for death to come......
——————————
In the desert, a strong woman dressed in animal skins carries a man and a woman on her back, walking on the soft yellow sand. With every step, she felt that her physical strength was very drained.
Suddenly, the woman's heel went limp, and she rolled down the dune. She was angry, roared, and kicked Lin Man'er, who was rolling down with her, and kept cursing in her mouth: "You promised my grandmother to protect me, but now it has become a burden for me to protect you two.
I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out! Aren't you amazing? Aren't you the pride of the sky? But look at the way you look now, what's the difference between you and a wasted person? ”
It's a pity that no matter how she vented, Lin Man'er just didn't react. The kite cried, crying very sadly. She didn't know how long it would take to get out of this hellish place. Even if she is given a little hope, she can persevere. But the problem is that the yellow sand is long, and I don't know the way back......
——————————
In the desert, under the red willow tree, Lin Man'er suddenly woke up. When he saw Angelica and Kite in the bunker, he smiled, like a child with candy.
At the same time, the kite also woke up and hurriedly scraped the yellow sand off her body. However, from Lin Man'er's point of view, there was no need for Kite to be so panicked. However, the kite seemed to hate the sand very, very much, and even took off her animal skin dress and kept shaking it downward.
Interestingly, Lin Man'er seemed to have seen something terrible, with a long mouth and a flash of light in her eyes. After five or six breaths, Lin Man'er swallowed an empty mouthful, and couldn't help but pop out a sentence!
"It's huge!"
Kite reacted, stared at Lin Man'er, and roared: "It's not that you're a burden, not only can't you help, but you also caused me to be buried alive in the yellow sand." ”
When Lin Man'er heard this, he probably guessed something when he thought of his dream. At that moment, he grabbed a handful of sand and threw it mischievously at the raging part of the kite.
The kite screamed in fright, and when Lin Man'er saw this, she laughed directly. It's a pity that after a few laughs, he ate an elbow blow from the kite. This time, it can really be said that it is self-inflicted, "happy and sad"!
The kite snorted and got up to put on her unique animal skin dress. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, suddenly looked at Lin Man'er, and asked, "Are you still alive?" ”
Lin Man'er coughed a few times while holding her stomach, and said with a bitter face: "I was almost sent away by you." ”
Kite was overjoyed, grabbed Lin Man'er's shoulder, and kept shaking: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." You hurry up and get me out of this hellish place, I don't want to stay for a moment. ”
Lin Man'er pointed to Bai Zhi, who was still asleep, and said helplessly: "According to the current situation, we have to wait for Bai Zhi to wake up." Otherwise, you won't be able to get out. ”
Kite frowned and said worriedly: "She is so weak, I don't know if she can pass the test." ”
"Absolutely!" Lin Man'er replied very firmly.
"Why?"
"The reason is that I made a deal with the moon god, and as long as I pass her test, he will resurrect the two of you."
"Resurrection?" Kite remembered her experience of being buried alive in a dream, and her body trembled. At that moment, he looked at Lin Man'er and said curiously, "Can you tell me what deal you made with the Moon God?" ”
Seeing Kite's reaction, Lin Man'er thought about it seriously, shook his head slightly, and said, "Maybe it's not what I thought, each of us has our own tests." ”
"So, I passed the test myself?"
Lin Man'er nodded and said, "It should be!" ”
"That's not right! According to my dream, all three of us were buried alive by that sudden sandstorm. Otherwise, I wouldn't have felt bad at the sight of sand. ”
"Uh...... If I'm right, the moon god is supposed to be a test for each person's own situation. In other words, your test is not that difficult, or you just need to meet a certain standard. ”
The kite seemed to understand, and said with a look of remorse: "Alas! If I had known that I would have persisted for a while, I might have been able to get a great opportunity! ”
After hearing this, Lin Man'er said in a tone of indebtedness: "You still forget it, it is the protection of the ancestors who can leave alive." ”
Interestingly, instead of getting angry, Kite sat on the ground and summed up the tests of the first two levels in order to perform better later. I have to say that this approach is still very clever. After all, the previous Moon God has fallen, and her test will only be carried out according to the arrangement before her death. As long as you grasp the key point, you can at least get a moon ring stone.
Time passed after a long wait, and the summer desert finally ushered in nightfall. The heat of the day quickly dissipated with a gust of night wind. However, deserts all have one characteristic - the temperature difference between day and night.
As soon as Lin Man'er felt a trace of coolness, she was wrapped in cold again. Just as he was about to hide, he suddenly heard a sneeze. Looking for the sound, it turned out to be from Angelica Bai. It was only at this time that Lin Man'er realized that Bai Zhi had already passed the test, but she just fell asleep for a while.
Seeing that the temperature continued to drop, Lin Man'er couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Kite cheekily, "Ed...... Can you lend me your hides to keep you warm? Anyway, you're an orc, and you're not afraid of the cold. ”
When Kite heard this, she really wanted to give Lin Man'er two feet. Moreover, the first step had to step on his dick, and he didn't keep it anyway.
