"Should I learn from your doctor and arrest you and study you carefully?"
After tearing up the makeshift shed, the Great Compassion Tree King looked at the lively young man and said.
With the help of the Demon King's weapons, the sneak attack just now did not seem to cause any injuries to the young master.
However, although the Great Compassion Tree King did not physically hurt the young master, he dealt him a heavy blow psychologically.
Her words just now were undoubtedly like a bucket of cold water, which completely chilled the young man who was full of fighting spirit below.
He looked up at the God of Righteousness, which was glowing with light. This was a very good opponent. Just thinking about the scene of fighting with it made the young master tremble with excitement.
But all this is based on the fact that the opponent has martial virtue. Judging from the current situation, if I am determined to fight, I am afraid I will inevitably become a guinea pig.
"No, no!" Thinking of the dark scene in the laboratory, the young master shuddered all over.
He likes fighting, but he is not stupid. He can fight a few moves, but after a few moves, someone needs to "collect his body".
Obviously, in today's Xumi, the people who "collect the body" for the young master cannot be his own people.
"come over!"
Two chains made of pure elemental power swung out from the hands of the God of Righteousness, aiming directly at the young master below.
This instantly made the latter's hair stand on end, for no other reason than that, no one would think of putting on an elemental chain as thick as a waist - even if the young master was an executive officer.
Take the chain of a certain length and just put it on them. Once you catch one, it will be almost impossible for them to escape.
"I'll dodge!"
Fortunately, the young master, when armed with the Demon King, not only has enormous strength, but his speed has also been greatly improved.
He seized the opportunity and escaped from the lock that was enough to crush him in an instant.
"laugh--"
The purple elemental chain created countless charred spiral burn marks on the ground, which made the young master even more frightened.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead. If they were trapped, the Demon King's armed forces would not be able to hold out for long.
"I didn't expect the speed to be so fast. The Fatui really are full of talented people." The Great Compassionate Tree King said as he took back the chain and waved it to put it on again.
And this time there were not just two, but ten - elemental chains condensed on each of the God of Righteousness' fingers, making it look like a puppeteer controlling a puppet.
As for its puppet...it is naturally the young man sweating profusely below.
"Are you...just kidding?" The young man looked at the ten locks above his head, and the long-lost feeling of strength gap came to his mind.
Could it be that I have provoked a god-level guy?
Countless regrets flashed through his mind, so the young master decided to do something to make up for his reckless actions.
Then, King Daci Tree saw the young man in front of him disappear in a flash.
"Next time! I want to fight you fair and square!"
In the distance, the young master's unwilling roar was heard, shocking many lights in Xumi City to light up again.
To this, the Great Compassion Tree King had only one response: "You run pretty fast. Next time I'll plant something on you and see how far you can run!"
……
Cities, rainforests, deserts...the positions of the sun and the moon in the sky were reversed again.
Facing the scorching sun above his head, the young man felt only grateful.
First, he was glad that he had escaped decisively and avoided the fate of becoming a guinea pig; second, he was glad that the faint throbbing in his heart was still pointing him in the direction.
With his hand covering his brow, the young man could see an endless sea of sand. He pursed his cracked lips and ran wildly in the direction indicated by his heart.
He knew in his heart that the place where this throbbing sensation was pointing to must not be the desert, which meant that as long as he walked in this direction, he would definitely be able to escape from the desert.
This is why the young master is not panicking. What if there is no water and he steps into the desert? As long as he is heading in the right direction, he can run across the largest desert in the entire continent in one day - this is his strength as an executive officer!
However, this incident also taught the young master a lesson, that is, without sufficient preparation, rashly stepping into the desert will lead to death.
He thought about what would happen if he couldn't determine the direction, and the only answer he got was that he would become a dried corpse in the desert that no one cared about.
If you cannot determine the direction in the vast sea of sand, it would be purgatory.
The young man was thinking about all these things while running wildly. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually felt a hint of coolness in the depths of the desert.
Then, after crossing a sand dune, he stopped. At the same time, he realized that the coolness he had just felt was not an illusion.
In front of me is a large blue lake. Yes, a large blue lake in the desert. What is a bit strange is that although the lake is large, there is not much green.
Like a new birth.
It was a rare breeze in the desert, and it was so cool that it instantly soothed the young man's tired body.
Then, his body sensation changed from cool to cold.
"What a coincidence, why are you here?"
Chapter 757 The 'Traveling' Son
2024-07-03
"What a coincidence, why are you here?"
The familiar voice made the young man instantly forget the heat of the desert. He now only felt his limbs were cold.
"I... I must be dreaming!" The young master didn't look back. He shook his head and then pinched his thigh hard.
"hiss……"
The piercing pain made the young master realize that this was not a dream.
Embers, really, were behind him.
"Snapped!"
An iron hand was placed on the young master's shoulder, and the armor on it made him feel uncomfortable.
"I hope you're here just because you got lost, and not for some other reason."
Yu Jin walked up to the young master, smiled and said.
"Absolutely not! I came here for purely personal reasons this time. It has nothing to do with the Fatui. And my destination is not here!"
The young master first moved his body inconspicuously to get out of Yu Jin's grasp, and then hurriedly explained.
"Why are you so excited? Do I look like an unreasonable person?"
"Since you are here for tourism, please do as you please."
Seeing how flustered the young master was, Yu Jin waved at him and then ignored him and ran towards the side of the blue lake.
Then, the young master saw Yu Jin busying himself by the lake.
Moving forward cautiously, the young master also approached the lake. The main reason was that he was too thirsty. Although it was cool to run out of the desert in one breath, no one was watching him, and coolness could not be compared to drinking water.
His throat had long been burning with pain due to lack of water, and his lips were covered with countless curled-up dead skin.
"Is this water drinkable?"
Coming to the side of Yujin who was squatting on the ground, the young master looked at the clear lake and asked.
"If you don't mind the dirtiness of ordinary sea water, you can drink it. But if it's infested with worms..."
"Gulu! Guru!"
Before Yu Jin could finish his words, he saw the young master lying beside the lake with his entire head submerged in the water.
"Ha!!! Alive... alive!!!" After a long time, the young man raised his head from the water. He shook his head and felt for the first time that water was such a wonderful thing.
After shaking his head, he seemed to suddenly realize something.
"Wait! I remember that drinking sea water seems to make you die faster!" The young man searched the little knowledge in his mind and said in doubt.
"Do you taste the saltiness?"
"No."
"That's it."
Yu Jin spread his hands, the water in Fontaine is very strange. According to its scale, the water system in Fontaine is undoubtedly the sea, but the water in it is fresh water.
Therefore, the large lake in the desert formed by water diverted from Fontainebleau should be fresh water.
If it was seawater, Yu Jin would be too lazy to bring it in. Seawater can hardly support plants except for fish, and its effect on improving the desert environment is not as great as fresh water.
Moreover, can bringing in seawater really be considered an improvement in the environment? It is hard to say whether saline-alkali land or desert is better.
"Hangchi! Bangchi!"
After explaining to the young master, Yu Jin got busy again. The ground near the lake was no longer sandy like before, but soft dust.
At this moment, the embers were fiddling with something on the dust.
"Why are you looking at me? I remember you and Ying are pretty close. She's over there, you can go play with her."
Seeing the young master approaching, Yu Jin pointed to the horizon in the distance. A crack appeared in the sky there, and two forces intertwined and confronted each other, scattering countless spiritual lights.
It was precisely because of this magnificent sight that Yingyi ran over there as soon as he came out of the Eternal Oasis.
"Perhaps you can also go to Gul City? There should be town spirits recovering there. Maybe you can kidnap one, so you don't have to worry about your next life."
Yujin pointed to another location. There was a sea of sand there, but if you go through the sea of sand, you can see large ruins.
"What's going on?" The young master was confused when he heard this. He now wondered if Yu Jin had changed his career to become a desert tour guide.
"Let me introduce you to some fun places in the desert."
The young master looked at the embers in surprise, and realized that he really was acting as a desert tour guide.
"Why don't you go?"
"Because I've experienced it all, and I'm busy now." Yu Jin said, sprinkling a handful of grass seeds on the ground.
There was no way. Apep was incredibly lazy, not to mention that this was about helping humans restore the land. She was too lazy to move a finger.
Being able to help the embers condense into grass seeds was already the most she could do.
As for Nashida and the Mahabharata, they are completely opposite to Apep. Apep sleeps all day long, while Nashida and the Mahabharata are busy all day long.
Four of the six great sages were gone at once, the Academy of Teachings was also scrapped, and the administrative pressure on Xumi was simply overwhelming.
