Chapter 1258: Devil's Oasis 2

dom and the Baihu Kingdom. The guards, following the empress's orders, disguised themselves and took the silver to purchase food, cloth, medicine, and other essential supplies needed in times of disas...With the man's screams, those who had just attacked them instantly vanished into the ground, disappearing without a trace, leaving no opportunity for Lian Xi to retaliate.

In the evening, he wanted to chase after her, but since the situation was unclear, he didn't dare separate from his teammates. He could only quickly gather around Lianyi. Now that they had someone alive, they could ask for clarification.

Ripples loosened her grip on the opponent's legs just before they were about to die, but the deadly silk still wrapped around their neck, ready to take their head at any moment.

"Whatever I ask you now, you answer. Otherwise, I don't mind making you cease to exist."

"...Yes."

The man replied listlessly.

"Where am I"

"Devil's Oasis."

What's special about it

"This place is similar to the Realm of the Void, where you can't use your divine sense. It's also a massive maze, one that you can never escape from, even in death. After death, your soul will be absorbed."

A shirtless man speaking candidly.

"How did you get here"

"Being hunted by my enemies, I entered the boundless desert to escape them. However, they refused to let me go and even offered a thousand high-grade spirit stones to continue pursuing me. I was forced into this situation."

"How did you become like this"

After finishing her question, Lian Yi wrinkled her nose and lightly rubbed at the bottom of her shoe. She glanced at the other person's dark teeth and skin with a hint of disdain.

"Hmph! That's the only way to survive, you'll all be like me soon! Hahahahaha! Ugh!"

Liàn Yī didn't want to hear the grating laughter, so she kicked a clump of sand into the other person's mouth, cutting off their wild cackle.

"Speak in plain language, how was this done"

This time it's Mo Shang Chen Dai asking.

"The liquid on my body is made from the root and stem of a plant found in this oasis. This way, at night, your life force won't be drained away instantly."

As long as you persevere until daylight, you can hunt in the oasis to replenish your strength and then continue searching for an exit, giving yourself more time.

What can replenish strength

Du Yan asked curiously.

Because this oasis, at a glance, only had a few nearly dried-up puddles, wilted plants, and the rest was just yellow sand. Not even a snake, worm, rat, or ant could be seen.

The bare-chested man's gaze roamed over Du Yan unscrupulously, looking like he was drooling, which disgusted her to no end. Then, imitating Ripple, she kicked a handful of sand in his face.

On the dusty path, under the waning evening light, he instantly understood each other's meaning. In their eyes, those who had come were just energy, "food" for them to survive.

Immediately, a wave of nausea rose from his stomach. Thankfully, they had been fasting, or else he would have vomited.

Mu Sheng and Ye Qing's faces were not very good-looking either, because they were watching the sun set.

With a sideways kick, she sent the shirtless man sprawling unconscious. Turning her gaze to Mo Shangchen, she frowned and said:

"Fellow traveler, though we're working together, I didn't expect things to be so dangerous. Is this place marked on your blueprints"

Mo Shangchen shook his head and patiently explained:

"Everyone, we're all in the same boat now. You can't use your spiritual energy, and neither can I. If we can't leave here or are trapped here and miss the opening of the cave dwelling, I'll be with you."

Moreover, this place is not marked on the map. You just asked that person, and it seems no one has ever lived here or left this place, so the news hasn't spread.

After Mo Shangchen finished speaking, he also felt a bit down. However, he was still optimistic about Lian Xiye and Eileen, after all, they were both people with great fortune, they shouldn't be trapped here.

R ripples pretended to rub her temples, then said:

"Don't look at me, I've never encountered this situation before either. I was only forced by my grandfather to practice body refinement. In this kind of situation, I can protect myself, but if you all rely on me one by one, I won't be able to manage."

You are all Nascent Soul cultivators, your physical strength has reached the hardness of a mid-grade magic weapon. Dealing with them should be no problem. The most important thing now is how to leave here.

“The sun is about to set. Should we find that kind of plant he mentioned earlier to ensure our safety through the night and talk more tomorrow”

Mu Sheng suggested.

This time, even Ripples didn't need to speak. Even YeYe immediately rejected the idea.

Haven't you noticed Time flies since we entered this oasis. We just passed the hour before entering it.

From the time we entered the oasis to when we were attacked, it was less than half an hour. How could it be sunset already

"This..."

The evening's words immediately made everyone realize this time gap.

"Could there be a time acceleration formation here"

Du Yan said.

"From the moment I stepped in here, I observed that there were no signs of a formation being set up."

"Mo Shang Dust shook his head and said, This is his forte, there's no room for error."

Then we'll just have to go down into the earth and see.

"Ripples pointed to where those people had just appeared and disappeared," he said.

Everyone looked at each other, agreeing with Lianri's suggestion. Only by finding the cause could they come up with a countermeasure and solve the current predicament.

Will this person guide us

Ye Qing said uncertainly.

"Give it a try! He might be trying to lure us into his lair. Let's play along and see if we can find an exit!"

He said at dusk.

He was a little excited at this time because he felt that these strange people could bring him great benefits.

Ripples glanced at Lian Xiye, especially the other party's somewhat excited tone, which made her feel that heaven was starting to give the other party opportunities again.

But at this moment, she couldn't get in touch with Dodo. She could only take one step at a time. So after waking up the shirtless man, Lianyi looked straight into his eyes. A flash of gray-blue light passed by, and then she spoke:

"Take us to your lair, don't try any tricks, I'll be watching you the whole time."

The man shrunk back and nodded, then under the sway of the deadly wave silk, he came to a soft sandy spot, stepped directly onto it, and fell into the ground with it.

The ripples then followed the pull of the deadly silk, with the second person being dragged in. Then came the impatient Lian Yexi, and one by one, the rest jumped down as well.

Although he couldn't sense things outside his body, ripples could be felt. This was a track, obviously man-made. So after gliding for a distance, the drag from the deathly silk disappeared, and the ripples quickly engulfed the sand, tumbling on the ground before standing firm.

A shirtless man reached up to touch his neck. He had tried to take the opportunity to break free, but the thread as thin as a hair was incredibly strong. His struggle only resulted in a bloody scratch on his neck.

"Don't even think about running away, unless you're willing to leave your head behind."

Ripple said coldly.

The others following also dropped down one by one. After everyone gathered, they started to look around again.

"This is an underground cave, it doesn't look natural, it seems to have been dug artificially."

Mu Sheng touched the grayish-black stone wall and said.inary person and slowly make him fall for her."Chunxiao's reaction was also very quick.“Yes! Now that the news of our engagement is out, she'll definitely come up with a scheme to expose his identity,...
