When Yao Wan and Xiao Yan broke into the core area of Tagor Desert, the weather here never got better.
The sky is filled with yellow sand almost all the time, and the time for clearing up is very rare.
Even with the cloak on, Xiao Yan was severely beaten in the roaring sandstorm.
"It's been less than half a month since we set off from Stone Desert City, why haven't we arrived yet?"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but complain.
"There's nothing you can do about it, the desert is such a big place—"
Yao Wan said, "You can't fly into the sky in this weather, right?"
Different from Xiao Yan's disgraced face, Yao Wan seemed to have directly isolated the sand and dust rising around her. An invisible net spread out to help her filter out the sand and dust blowing towards her.
For her, apart from the annoying heat in the core of the desert, it was no different from the outside.
"How long until we get there?"
"Don't worry about this. I used Divine Sense to detect it."
Yao Wan said, "If we can settle down in the oasis tonight, then we will continue to go deeper. This is basically Snake-People's territory."
"Although I will definitely be chased around like a chicken, at least I don't have to worry about sandstorms. How about that? Be happy."
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, but now I really can only think about having fun in this way.
However, since Wan Guniang said this, Xiao Yan gradually became more hopeful on his way, and his actions on the way became more active.
In addition, the harsh weather of the desert itself is also tempering his body in a sense.
The scorching temperatures and the sky full of yellow sand are naturally a new test and challenge for Xiao Yan.
After all, if they go further and reach a higher level, the place where they want to find Heavenly Flames may not be a desert.
When the sandstorm blew over the area where the two were, they crossed the towering sand dunes, and the yellow sky gradually turned dark in the sandstorm.
When the wind and sand gradually dispersed, Xiao Yan stood on the sand dune and saw an oasis below that sparkled under the moon.
"We're here!"
Xiao Yan was so happy that he almost jumped up. Eating sand in the desert was really not a good experience.
Moreover, there won't be any mirage Mirage Building at night, and you don't have to worry about your hard work for so long being wasted.
"It's better to be careful. This is already the core hinterland of Snake-People's territory."
Yao Wan couldn't help but warn, and then frowned without leaving any trace. She vaguely remembered that someone was here?
Ah, I can't remember clearly.
After helping him slightly, Yao Wan could only take Xiao Yan there to rest for a while, and then go to the Main City of the Snake-People Tribe to look for Queen Medusa as soon as possible.
Xiao Yan was particularly excited about this clear spring in the desert.
After entering the oasis, he twitched the tip of his nose slightly and smelled a trace of long-lost water vapor, which nourished his nerves that were almost dried out by the desert.
Walking through the grass and looking at the clear spring water getting closer and closer, Xiao Yan felt the urge to pick up a gourd and drink it all.
Of course, this is not because he is really thirsty, but this is the first time he has seen an oasis during a desert trip. It is normal for him to have such thoughts when he is excited.
After all, he is not Fire Lizard in the desert.
But before he could dive into the spring, the phantom in the middle of the spring made Xiao Yan completely give up the idea.
Is anyone taking a shower here?
Xiao Yan's first thought was that he almost drank someone else's bath water and almost choked to death on his own saliva.
But after noticing the woman's snake tail emerging from the water, Xiao Yan immediately covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound.
"Gu..."
Looking at this enchanting woman, Xiao Yan's throat rolled slightly, but his palm slowly moved to his thigh and pinched it hard. The severe pain made him regain some consciousness.
Then he glanced at his side calmly.
"Xiao Yan? What are you looking at so enthusiastically?"
Yao Wan's voice rang in his ears. After hearing what Wan Guniang said, Xiao Yan wanted to take off his own eyes to prove his innocence.
As he spoke, Yao Wan raised his head and caught a glimpse of the beautiful snake girl bathing in the middle of the spring.
Her eyes swept across the lake next to the woman. Under the clear water, a green snake tail swayed slightly, releasing a wild temptation.
"Oh, it's her."
After meeting the real owner, Yao Wan had a hint of surprise on his face.
"What's wrong? Are you here in such a hurry just to peek at people taking a shower?"
Yao Wan's Divine Sense protected Xiao Yan, and it was automatically blocked in the snake girl's mind.
So Yao Wan would be fine even if he stood directly in front of the snake girl. Yao Wan, who turned his head aside, couldn't help but tease Xiao Yan.
"Okay - stop hiding, she can't find us anymore."
"No—this was an accident!"
Xiao Yan naturally wanted to refute, but he didn't want Wan Guniang to have a lower opinion of him because of this innocent disaster. Then he would have no place to cry.
"Okay, okay, if you say it's an accident, it's an accident."
Yao Wan said with a smile. She knew this would happen, so naturally she would not blame Xiao Yan for such a trivial matter.
Xiao Yan felt that there was no trace of blame in Yao Wan's words, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"That snake girl is Dou Wang. I guess she is a character among the Snake-People Tribe."
Yao Wan said seriously, "Okay, didn't you say there is no water? Get some water and continue setting off. Don't rest here."
"Don't look at the beauty of other people's snakes. If you are not careful, you may have someone swallow you."
Saying that, Yao Wan patted his shoulder.
"Wan Guniang..."
Xiao Yan sighed, his face full of reluctance.
He never meant that, and he didn't have any habit of drinking other people's bathwater. Although Yao Wan never said anything, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
However, Xiao Yan didn't have the face to complain. After hurriedly loading up on sufficient water, he immediately set off again.
After leaving this oasis, Xiao Yan and Yao Wan set off again.
Continuing deeper into the desert, the originally manic climate became calmer, as if the sandstorm that had lasted for dozens of days in the outside world had become a natural barrier for the Snake-People Tribe, protecting them from human interference.
But before Xiao Yan and Yao Wan had gone very far, there was a tremor caused by the collision of Dou Qi in the direction of the original oasis.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but look back.
"What's going on?"
"Nothing, just a bunch of idiots."
Yao Wan sneered and said, "It's just another group of people who came here to look for the wind, and they are destined to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain."
"Okay, let's go."
