"How come it's the same as me? Lilupal is the same." Ying was deeply touched when she heard this. She was also running around in the desert, and then she was entangled by Lilupal.
"Hehe, why do you two have to worry so much? It's never a bad thing to have someone to serve you."
This time, Lilupal no longer called the embers "tin can". She laughed softly, as sweet as a wind chime ringing in the desert.
"No? Do you want to look at your shape before you say that?" Yu Jin spread his hands and said helplessly.
Lilupal looked down at himself after hearing this. A glass bottle, and an irregular one at that. The person who needed this thing to serve... could only be said to be somewhat seriously ill.
"Well... my power is almost gone now. Once I regain the remaining power, I will be able to transform into various forms!"
Lilupal paused, then said proudly, If she had a body now, she would be beating her chest.
"No need, why not take us to find the Eternal Oasis as soon as possible."
"Yes, what the senior said makes sense."
"That's it!"
Of the three, Paimon was the most enthusiastic. If Lilupal really regained her power, she would be unemployed and live on the streets!
This kind of thing must never be allowed to happen!
"But there are endless traps and barriers in the Eternal Oasis, and they all require my power to break."
Lilupal defended himself, saying that no matter whether he wanted to go to the Eternal Oasis or do anything else, his own strength was absolutely necessary.
"That only shows that you are not strong enough!" Yu Jin showed off his muscles in front of the others, and then he asked Xisha:
"Do you know the way to the Eternal Oasis?"
"Know!"
Shisha nodded.
"Keep leading the way!"
Yu Jin waved his hand and led everyone to follow Xisha to the depths of the ravine, leaving Lilupal alone in the wind.
"..."
"Wait for me!"
After staying there in silence for a while, Lilupal quickly followed. She was very weak now, and if she was caught by a scorpion, a holy beast, or some other beast, it would be a disaster.
……
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
Under the desert, the sound of steel colliding with steel continued to be heard.
"There is such a place in the desert? Amazing." Yu Jin scratched his head, his voice echoing in the huge water pipeline and spreading far away.
"Could you please not be so startled? What if... what if a monster comes out?" Paimon almost flew to the top of the pipe when he heard Yu Jin's sudden words.
It was extremely dark here, and the walls of the pipes were covered with large patches of rust. Walking in it, people could see floating sand piled up from time to time, and in serious cases, the entire water pipe was directly blocked.
Of course, these were nothing in front of Yu Jin. No matter how thick the floating sand was, it couldn't withstand his punch.
So, Yu Jin led the way, while Xisha and Lilupal followed behind. What was unusual was that they, who were always talkative, did not speak at this moment.
Looking at the familiar yet strange place in front of her, Xisha was somewhat confused. Was she working diligently in this place for hundreds of years?
Looking around, the huge water pipeline had long been cut off from water, and was covered with thick floating sand, among which exposed machinery could still be vaguely seen.
They had long been decayed, and no one knew whether the imprisoned spirits within them had dissipated over time or had been extracted and compressed into weapons.
Shisha was moved by the scene, while Lilupal simply didn't know what to say.
She knew nothing about the water pipeline near the Eternal Oasis, so she had nothing to say. Moreover, a large part of the current situation here was due to her.
"boom!"
In the silence, a muffled sound was heard, and then light poured into the dim pipe.
The water pipeline has reached its end.

"Boom!"
The yellow sand was rushing, and then a figure covered in armor appeared behind the sand.
Yu Jin looked down at his surroundings. This was a closed temple. The light on the floor of the temple hall was still shining after who knows how long.
They were in the trench below the temple hall. There might have been a constant flow of clean water here, but now there was only yellow sand.
"Wow! There is such a big temple underground?!" Paimon flew out of the pipe, she looked around and exclaimed.
This temple is incredibly large, with its height estimated to be over a hundred meters. This can actually be seen from the diameter of the water pipe.
The inconspicuous water pipe alone is wide enough for people to walk through and is extremely spacious. The source of its water supply cannot be small.
"Underground? That's not necessarily true." Lilupal was filled with emotion when he saw the familiar scene again.
"It seems like you know this place?" Ying raised her eyebrows.
"Of course, my master. This is the source of water for the Five Oases. Outside this temple is the top of Mount Dama, which is also the gate to the Eternal Oasis."
Lilupal explained slowly. It must be said that going through the sewers is fast. If we follow the normal route, it is impossible to reach the source temple so quickly.
The temple was used to supply water to the entire desert. Just imagine how strict the protection was around the temple. Normally, to get from the foot of Mount Dama to the top of Mount Dama, one would need to pass through countless restrictions and mechanisms.
Lilupal can break all these restrictions and mechanisms, but the prerequisite is that she has enough power. And this requires her master to search the desert for the lost pieces of the magic bottle.
"Then how do we open this door?" Yu Jin climbed up to the temple hall. In the center of the hall there was something that looked like an operating table.
He pressed his hand upwards, and the blue light in the temple instantly turned red.
"Om-"
The air twisted, and a large number of energy constructs that were originally in a dormant state woke up from their slumber.
"Don't press it randomly!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of parts being disassembled interrupted Lilupal's exclamation. Looking at the mechanical parts scattered on the ground in front of him, Lilupal swallowed back the words he was about to say.
"Great!"
Ying saw this scene at the bottom of the temple hall and immediately clapped her hands. If she were to do such a multi-energy construct, it would definitely take her a lot of effort.
But now that Ember is here, Ying just needs to watch the show like Paimon.
"Are you still standing down there? Come over and see how to open the door!" Seeing Ying clapping stupidly, Yu Jin immediately waved his hand and asked her to come over.
After all, this temple is a relic of an ancient civilization. If it is not the last moment, Yu Jin still hopes to avoid using violence as much as possible.
So... now it's his turn to be idle.
Ying ran to the pillar in the middle of the temple hall. She pondered for a while and then took action.
She first injected elemental power into it, but it didn't work. Then she asked Paimon to move the obelisk in the hall, but there was still no movement. Then she picked up a stone and threw it at a certain place in the temple, but there was still no reaction...
So Ying turned around and spread her hands towards the embers.
"I can't help it."
"What? Aren't you known as an expert in decryption?" Yu Jin was shocked. He had high expectations for Ying.
"Who gave me this reputation? How come I don't know about it?" Ying scratched her head. She never said that she was good at decrypting information. Who spread this rumor?
"My Lords, I have a plan."
"what?"
"Restore my strength."
"Is it troublesome?"
"..."
Seeing that Lilupal fell silent again, Yu Jin already had the answer in his mind. So he walked step by step through the hall of the temple and came to the closed door of the temple.
The gate was extremely tall and I didn't know how thick it was. The embers knocked on the gate a little and found that the material was good.
I'm afraid that ordinary people can't break this door by brute force.
But Ember is no ordinary person.
He stretched out his fingers, with his fingertips touching the door surface, and then he suddenly exerted force and curled his fingers into a fist.
“Bang! Ka—”
Visibly, cracks appeared on the door. Yu Jin pulled his hand out from the cracks and knocked lightly on the broken door in front of him.
"Crash!"
The facade, made of an unknown material, collapsed into pieces of rubble the size of finger joints, and the momentum of collapse only stopped when a passage the size of a person was formed.
"Let's go!"
After waving to the people behind him, Yu Jin walked out of the temple first.
“Hu…Shua…”
As he moved forward, the sound of the wind in his ears became louder and louder. When Yu Jin completely walked out of the temple, he finally understood why - he was now in the eye of the storm on Mount Dama.
The entire sky is a shade of khaki, and the wind and sand wrap this place tightly, forming an independent world.
The outside cannot see here, and here cannot see the outside.
The top of Mount Dama has obviously been artificially modified. It is extremely flat and covered with marble bricks engraved with patterns.
The most trusted and noteworthy of all is the Holy Grail standing quietly on the top of the mountain.
This thing is like a key, firmly inserted into the top of the mountain, as if guarding something.
"Really...really came out like this?"
Lilupal walked out of the passage, unable to believe what she saw. She knew better than anyone how tough the temple was made of, but even in such a solid temple, a path was punched out by the embers, just big enough for one person to walk through.
This power, and the degree of control over it, frightened Lilupal.
