Chapter 289: Searching for Water and Discovering an Oasis
After the rain stopped, the desert welcomed a new day, and the sun once again scorched the earth mercilessly. After a night of cold and dampness, Lin Feng and his companions faced a new predicament: extreme thirst.
"My throat is about to smoke." Wang Meng licked his cracked lips and his voice became hoarse.
Zhao Xue's face was pale. She looked at the vast sea of sand with a hint of despair in her eyes. "If we can't find water, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for much longer."
Ah Qiang leaned weakly against a rock and said weakly, "I feel like I don't have the strength to walk anymore."
Lu Yun tried to cheer himself up and said, "Don't lose heart, we will definitely find water."
Lin Feng looked at the tired faces of the people and felt anxious, but he still encouraged them firmly: "Let's walk along the bottom of the sand dunes. Maybe we can find signs of an underground river."
Everyone gathered their strength and continued to trudge forward through the desert. Every step they took felt like they were dragging a heavy burden.
"This damn desert, why is there not even a drop of water!" Wang Meng couldn't help but curse.
Li San panted and said, "Everyone, save your energy, stop complaining, and focus on finding water."
After walking for a while, Zhao Xue's eyes suddenly lit up: "Look, there seem to be some green plants over there!"
Everyone rushed over.
"Where there are plants, there may be water sources!" said Lin Feng.
They followed the direction of the plants, but found only a few drought-resistant plants growing tenaciously in the desert, with no sign of water around.
"Oh, it was all for nothing." A Qiang sighed in disappointment.
Wang Meng sat down on the ground: "I can't walk anymore, I really can't walk anymore."
Lu Yun squatted down and said comfortingly, "Hold on a little longer, Wang Meng."
Just when everyone was feeling desperate, Lin Feng discovered the corpse of a camel in the distance.
"Let's go and take a look." Lin Feng said.
They walked to the camel's body and found that there was still some water in the camel's stomach.
"This may save our lives." Li San said.
Zhao Xue hesitated for a moment: "Is this... possible?"
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said, "There's nothing else I can do. It's better than dying of thirst."
Everyone endured the nausea and got some water from the camel's stomach.
"Although it doesn't taste good, it can at least keep us going for a while longer," Lu Yun said.
After replenishing some water, everyone continued to look for water sources.
"I seem to hear the sound of flowing water." Aqiang said suddenly.
"Are you hallucinating?" Wang Meng looked at him suspiciously.
"No, I really heard it!" Aqiang insisted.
Lin Feng decided to believe Aqiang: "Then let's go in the direction he said."
They followed the direction of the sound and found a small oasis.
"There's water! There's water!" Everyone ran towards the oasis excitedly.
They rushed to the water's edge and drank the cool water in big gulps.
"This is simply heaven!" Wang Meng cheered.
Zhao Xue showed a relieved smile on her face: "We finally found it."
After resting for a while at the oasis, everyone regained some strength.
"We can't stay here for long. We need to take some water and continue on our way," said Lin Feng.
They filled their containers with water and prepared to leave the oasis and continue their journey through the desert...
With the water they got from the oasis, Lin Feng and his companions once again embarked on a difficult journey across the desert. However, not long after they started walking, they discovered some strange footprints on the sand ahead.
"What left this behind?" Aqiang asked curiously.
Wang Meng squatted down and observed it carefully: "It doesn't look like an ordinary animal footprint, but more like some kind of monster."
Zhao Xue's expression became nervous: "Everyone be careful, it might be dangerous."
Lin Feng gripped the sword tightly in his hand and looked around vigilantly: "Be alert and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time."
They continued to move forward cautiously. As they went deeper, the atmosphere around them became increasingly eerie. Suddenly, a strong wind howled past, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Oh no, something's happening!" Lu Yun shouted.
In the dust, a group of huge and ferocious sand beasts rushed out and pounced on them with their fangs and claws bared.
"Get ready for battle!" Lin Feng went forward without hesitation.
Wang Meng brandished his battle axe and roared, "Come on, beasts!"
The sand beast's attack was fierce and fierce, and Lin Feng and others fought hard to resist.
"Ah!" Aqiang was hit by a sand beast and fell to the ground.
"A Qiang!" Zhao Xue rushed over and helped him up.
Li San cast a spell and rays of light shot towards the sand beast, but the effect was not obvious.
"These guys are so powerful!" Li San said anxiously.
While Lin Feng was fighting the sand beast, he shouted, "Everyone, don't disperse, concentrate your strength!"
During the fierce battle, everyone gradually found the weakness of the sand beast.
"Attack their abdomen!" Lin Feng shouted.
Everyone followed Lin Feng's instructions and concentrated their attacks on the sand beast's abdomen. After a hard fight, the sand beast was finally repelled.
"Finally got rid of these guys." Wang Meng was exhausted and panting.
Ah Qiang said with lingering fear: "That was really dangerous just now."
Zhao Xue comforted her, "It's okay, let's keep going."
After walking a little further, they saw a green area before their eyes.
"Is that an oasis?" Lu Yun asked in surprise.
Everyone quickened their pace, and as they got closer, they found that it was an oasis that was larger and more beautiful than the one before.
"Great, we are saved!" Aqiang shouted excitedly.
In the oasis, the clear lake water shimmers, surrounded by green trees and various exotic flowers blooming.
"This is simply a fairyland." Wang Meng couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Feng said: "Everyone, take a break first to replenish water and energy."
Everyone walked to the lake, drank water in big gulps, and showed satisfaction on their faces.
Zhao Xue sat in the shade of a tree, gazing at the lake, her heart filled with emotion: "After going through so many hardships, I finally found this peaceful place."
Li San was studying the plants in the oasis. "These plants might have special effects."
After resting for a while, Lin Feng stood up and said, "We can't stay here for too long. We have to keep moving forward."
Wang Meng was a little reluctant: "Rest for a while."
Lu Yun said: "Lin Feng is right, we have to get out of the desert as soon as possible."
Everyone packed up their things and set out on their journey again, carrying with them the beautiful memories of the oasis...
