Chapter 611: A Trip to the Oasis
......
Piru squinted his old eyes and observed the situation inside the tornado, having lived in the desert area for many years, Piru had already thoroughly touched the habits of this sandstorm. When will you find the oasis, and where will you find it? It's a simple matter for Piru. It's just that today's sandstorm is unexpectedly huge, and at this moment, even he doesn't know if everyone will reach the oasis after this sandstorm has passed. Not only that, but it is still a question whether these people will be able to return alive.
Just as Piru was secretly worried about the sandstorm, a small black dot came on a slow walk not far away. Piru covered his eyes with his hands, and Dingqing saw that it was the black boy who had been with him before.
Piru was different from Yate and the others, he was a junior martial artist in his own right, and he also had a unique talent for martial arts, and when he had just fought against the fire ant colony, he found that although Ou Chuyang was the leader of the three young people's team. But when it comes to strength, only this black boy is the best of the three. Moreover, according to his observation, the strength of this black boy is not a little bit higher than that of Ou Chuyang and the others, it is simply the gap between the levels. So as soon as they saw the black boy coming towards him, Piru immediately understood that it was because they were afraid that they would be blown away and separated, so they sent the black boy to help.
In his heart, Piru was still afraid that the black boy would not be able to find his correct position, so he suddenly pulled out the arm inserted into the sand layer and beckoned to the black lightning.
It's good not to beckon, under this beckoning, just in time for the tornado storm to send the strongest wind swept over, the stone slab that was deeply inserted by Piru's five fingers couldn't stand the strong wind swept away, and suddenly rose, and also brought Piru into the wind.
In the distance, Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er walked to the hiding place of Yat and the others, and were just about to find a place to hide, only to hear Yat shout heartbreakingly: "Uncle Piru." β
Hei Dian was walking forward with difficulty, heard Yat's roar, hurriedly looked towards the sky, and when he saw Piru not knowing when he went to the sky, Hei Dian didn't even think about it, and regardless of how strong the wind was, he used his internal qi to protect his body and flew towards Piru.
On this side, after a roar, Art also dodged and rushed out. It's just that he forgot that such a huge natural tornado even the black lightning martial arts powerhouse didn't dare to ignore it, and how could he be a martial artist boy who could compete with it. So, before Art could take two steps, the wind swept his body up.
And just when Art thought that he would be strangled by this violent wind, he suddenly stretched out a divine hand out of nowhere and pulled his bare feet tightly. Pulled it down.
Upon landing, Art saw a resolute face with a relaxed smile on it.
"Find a place to hide. β
The wind and sand swept across the entire dilapidated ruins of the ancient castle, causing the dilapidated ruins to wither again, and the whole world was darkened.
Ou Chuyang and the others could only watch as the figures of Black Lightning and Piru in the sky turned into extremely small black dots, and finally disappeared. Art roared, his mournful voice full of unwillingness. However, there was nothing they could do. They knew that if such a sandstorm swept people up, they would either throw them thousands of miles away to the place of death, or they would be buried deep in the sand by the wind and sand. If you want to survive, the chance is no more than 1 in 1,000.
The raging wind is like the cry of a baby or the shrill laughter of a woman. The black clouds over the ruins of the entire ancient castle are overwhelming and blurry.
In the end, Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er didn't even have the ability to urge the internal qi to protect Yate and the others, so they could only maintain the internal qi around them to protect themselves tightly.
I don't know how long it took to do so. The wind finally slowed down, and slowly, the raging sand layer gradually fell back to the ground, and when Ou Chuyang and the others were able to open their eyes, they found that everyone was buried by a shallow layer of floating sand.
Ou Chuyang propped his arms and jumped up from the floating sand, and when his figure fell, he subconsciously shook his head and shook off the sand grains all over his body. Only then did he hurry to find the whereabouts of Art and the others.
woke up with Ou Chuyang, as well as Xu Jie'er, at this time she has lost her previous pretty and delicate appearance, the sand on her body stains her like a mud child rolling in the loess every day, the pale pink dress has lost the color of the previous temptation, and the cloak is messy.
However, Xu Jieer didn't care about any of this. Like Ou Chuyang, as soon as she fell, she began to look for it with Ou Chuyang.
The ruins of the ancient castle still exist, but there are a lot fewer ruins than before the sandstorm, and the stone slabs that originally represented the vicissitudes of the ancient castle have long been buried under the sand and I don't know how deep, only a few broken walls are still exposed.
After glancing for a while, the two finally found a few exposed human hands not far away, hurriedly ran over, and pulled them all up one by one.
The Fire Soul Clansmen who were rescued by Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er kept spitting out the yellow sand that invaded their mouths, with a look of disgust.
Ou Chuyang walked over, counted carefully, and found that there were only five people, and the original number of people who appeared in this Fire Soul Clan should be more than ten, it seems that after the sandstorm, there are also a few people missing. Whether it is life or death is unknown.
But fortunately, the young man named Yate was lucky not to be buried in the yellow sand. Ou Chuyang walked over, patted Yat's arm, and asked, "How is it?" β
"Bah......" Spat a few mouthfuls of sand, and Art looked up. Originally, Yate didn't have a good impression of Ou Chuyang and the three of them opening their mouths to borrow the Nine Shadows Fire Crystal, but before Ou Chuyang rescued them from the fire ant colony, there was Piru's rebuke and bad words. However, at this time, Art had a good impression of Ou Chuyang. Not for anything else, just because the biggest sandstorm in history just now almost put them in a situation from which they will never recover, if it weren't for Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er, I'm afraid there are very few who can survive.
Yate glanced at Ou Chuyang gratefully and said, "Thank you Brother Ou for saving me." β
"Nothing. Ou Chuyang waved his hand, but didn't take it to heart, just pointed behind Art and said, "Go and count the number of people to see if there are a few people missing." β
After being reminded by Ou Chuyang, Yate stood up violently, frowned and counted carefully. Sure enough, the twelve people who came, except for Uncle Piru, who led the team, only five of the eleven people remained, and it seems that six people have suffered accidents.
After counting, a flash of sadness flashed in Art's eyes, but it seemed that this young man was used to seeing this kind of scene, but he did not seem to be excessive. Turning to Ou Chuyang, he said, "Where's Uncle Piru?"
"Alas......" Ou Chuyang sighed, turned his gaze to the sky, and said, "I was swept away by the wind with Xiao Hei, I don't know what happened?"
Saying that, Ou Chuyang was still afraid that Yate would be too angry, and added: "Don't worry, Xiao Hei is a martial arts powerhouse, I saw that Uncle Piru was caught, and the two of them should be fine, but I don't know where they are now." β
Hearing Ou Chuyang say this, Yat suddenly relaxed. In fact, no matter how low his strength is, he is very clear about the level of the martial artist, the martial powerhouse, that is the strength of the great elders and patriarchs of the clan, this strength is enough to get them out of most of the crisis. So, Yate didn't worry too much.
After pondering for a while, Arte said sincerely: "Uncle Piru promised you to take you to the patriarch. The Fire Soul Clan has always made the heaviest promise, and although Uncle Piru is nowhere to be found, we have all heard it, so please wait a little while, and when we have finished getting enough water, we will take you back to the Fire Soul Clan.
When Ou Chuyang heard this, he nodded appreciatively, and then under the leadership of Yate, the remaining four people plus Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er and a group of seven people traveled all the way east, and finally after crossing a high Gobi Desert, they finally found the desert oasis that everyone dreamed of.
To say that Ou Chuyang had seen this desert wonder in textbooks in his previous life, and now that the real scene appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh greatly.
Just imagine, the yellow sand all over the ground is not only endless, but also almost connected with the sky, there is actually a clear lake within 10,000 miles, this extreme contrast has caused a spectacular scene in front of him, how can Ou Chuyang not sigh.
Xu Jie'er is the same, it is the first time she has seen this desert oasis, although she and Ou Chuyang have excellent strength, almost reaching the point of Bigu, but in this hot and unbearable climate, they can't help but feel dry mouth. Seeing such a clear lake at this time, how could Xu Jie'er, who likes cleanliness, not be happy.
So, without a word, everyone saw the oasis and ran down. Approaching the lake, everyone jumped into the lake and was happy to cool off.
In the oasis, Xu Jieer found a secluded place, changed into clean clothes, and after packing up, she returned to the delicate nature of a beautiful girl. As for Ou Chuyang and Yate and other Fire Soul Clansmen, after washing, they took out the water storage things in the spirit ring one after another and filled them with enough water. And with Ou Chuyang, a powerful peak martial artist, he opened up an independent space for them in the ethereal ring, specially holding a large amount of clear water, and it was not until everyone was satisfied that they left this long-lost desert oasis.
At this time, no one noticed that not far away, a fire ant the size of an adult's forearm emerged from the sand, shook its long tentacles in the direction where everyone left, and then disappeared into the sand again, disappearing without a trace.
Under the leadership of Yate and others, everyone went all the way over the hills and mountains, walked for most of the day, and finally came to a place where sand dunes gathered, where it was a dilapidated castle surrounded by some sand dunes and ancient earthen walls, due to the erosion of wind and sand for many years, only a small number of relics could be found, however, unlike the ancient castle when it was in distress before, countless tents were set up here, and even a small number of soil bags stood among them, the most conspicuous, in this tent group, there was a bamboo pole standing in the center, the bamboo pole had been weathered for many years, it had been corroded, but it was still erect, especially on the bamboo pole there was a dilapidated clan flagγ Obviously, this is a gathering place of a clan.
Standing on the beach wall, looking down at the falling sand dunes in front of him, Art's face was filled with a touch of joy to return, and he pointed down and introduced Ou Chuyang and the others: "Welcome to the Fire Soul Clan, this is the Dune Relic Castle. β
Walking down from the Gobi Desert and stepping into the Fire Soul tribe gathered in the sand dunes, Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er gradually saw a lot of Fire Soul people shuttling between the tents, their outfits were the same as Yate and the others, all wrapped in tattered strips of cloth. It is said that it is a wrap, only a small part of the key parts are blocked inside, and most of the men are naked upper bodies, while the women only cover their breasts. The tanned skin speaks volumes about how many years they've been exposed to the sun.
Following behind Art, Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er walked leisurely, and those Fire Soul Clansmen seemed to be extremely happy when they saw Yat and the others coming back. But when they saw Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er, two outsiders, they all stopped in surprise, looking at the two of them vigilantly one by one, not daring to take another step forward.
Seeing this, Arteben stepped forward to explain, but at this time, a burly strong man walked out of the crowd, and because he did not wrap his head with a white cloth in the clan, he revealed the angular and resolute face of the strong man. This man is eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a strong waist, and he knows that he is a strong man at a glance.
As soon as this person appeared, he didn't give Yate a good face, first looked at Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er with that hostile eye, and then whispered to Yate: "Yate, how can you casually return to the tribe with strangers." Have you forgotten the rules?"
As soon as he was reprimanded by this strong man, Yate was obviously displeased: "There is a reason for it, it is not what you think, this is what Uncle Piru agreed." β
"Uncle Piru?" The strong man glanced behind Yat a few times, but did not find Piru's shadow, and immediately asked, "Where is Uncle Piru?"
Hearing this, Yate and the others flashed a touch of sadness and whispered, "Uncle Piru, he...... , He was swept away by the sandstorm, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and most of the compatriots who came out together this time were killed, and only a few of us were left. β
"What?" the strong man said with a look of surprise on his face.
The group of Fire Soul Clansmen behind the strong man were also terrified when they heard this, and then some people sobbed, obviously, in order to get water, so many clansmen were lost, and even Uncle Piru, who was very famous in the clan, suffered an accident, and everyone was very sad.
The strong man looked at a few people, his eyes were slightly red, and he was very annoyed when he thought about it, and suddenly said: "Impossible, Uncle Piru is a strong martial artist and an elder of the clan, and no one is more familiar with the oasis than him, how could he die?"
The strong man roared angrily, looked at Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er, pointed at Art's nose and reprimanded loudly: "Say, did you collaborate to kill Uncle Piru? Are they from Fire City?"
Art obviously didn't expect the strong man to say this about himself, after hearing it, the former raised his head violently, and yelled at the strong man: "Tie Gang, don't make something out of nothing, they are not from Fire City at all, they are just outsiders who have lost their way in the desert, this sandstorm is huge, even Uncle Piru has never seen such a big sandstorm, if it weren't for them, I'm afraid none of us would be able to come back, Tie Gang, please pay attention to your words." β
Art spoke, his words filled with anger, and the four people who had survived the catastrophe behind him were equally hateful, staring at the strong man known as Iron Gang.
Originally, tribesmen like Yate and Tie Gang were often the most upright, and they hated being framed the most, but now when they heard Tie Gang's nonsense, how could everyone not be angry.
