the gods descend

Chapter 9 Fireball

In the vast wilderness, I don't know when the wind blows.

The sand and dust intertwined with the dead branches and leaves, and the visibility was pitifully low.

Fortunately, the strong wind didn't intend to generate a sandstorm or a tornado, otherwise, Chu Nan and An Ruoxuan, who supported each other in the wind and sand, might have died.

In the face of the power of nature, people seem to be insignificant. If it is a strong man with a ninth-level holy title, I am afraid that he can use his own power to stop the wind and sand and go against nature.

But now, Chu Nan could only temporarily put aside the differences between men and women, took off his top, let An Ruoxuan lean against him, and covered his head with the top to prevent excessive dust from being inhaled into the nasal cavity.

Chu Nan didn't know how long it had been since he stepped into the Continent of the Gods. One thing is certain, this wilderness has experienced a change of sun and moon.

Although the sun cannot be seen, the sunlight can barely make the foggy sky appear a grayish white state, and without sunlight, this wilderness will be in a state of being invisible.

Although there were some spiky rats of common blood on the road, they were not too troublesome, and there was no accident. Chu Nan and An Ruoxuan didn't dare to light a fire, so they found a bush, and after making sure there was no danger, they took turns to watch the night. He spent his first night in the Gods Continent without any risk.

And when there was a little light in the sky, the two ushered in the sandstorm.

Now, even if the sun appeared in the sky, Chu Nan couldn't tell the direction.

But the two had to move. From entering the Continent of the Gods to now, neither of them could drink a sip of water.

During the closed beta, in the city where the players live, there is never a need to worry about the water supply, and sweet fruit juice or wine is also very cheap, so when Chunan was on Earth, he did not put drinking water in the storage ring.

In fact, it is useless even if it is placed, the system seems to not allow these things to be carried, at least, this lowest-level storage ring is not allowed.

Now Chu Nan only felt that his throat was dry and cracked like an unwatered field under the sun in July and August.

An Ruoxuan is even worse. She has a congenital heart disease and her body is very fragile. Ordinary people will die of dehydration if they don't drink water for three days. An Ruoxuan probably can last for two days at most.

Finding water sources has become more important than finding villages.

Fortunately, the wind and sand seemed to have a great impact on the monsters, so the two of them did not encounter any monsters along the way.

"An'an, hold on, we will find water."

Chu Nan continued to encourage An An, but in fact, Chu Nan knew that they were just betting on luck if they didn't know the direction and had a map in hand.

An Ruoxuan's body seemed to have begun to weaken, and Chu Nan had to support An Ruoxuan's shoulders to help her move forward.

"Chu Nan, do you think we will die here? I used to think that one day I would die of a heart attack, but I never thought that one day I would die of thirst."

Chu Nan: "Are you kidding me, I can't die, hold on."

An Ruoxuan: "Hee hee, it's okay, Chu Nan, even if he dies, the death authority will only be deducted once, and there will be another time. Besides, as you said, there should be a way to obtain additional death authority in the future."

Chu Nan gritted his teeth: "If you want to control your own destiny, then treat every death as the last, don't think about hanging up and restarting, but think about how to solve the difficulties in front of you! Damn, I can't speak , The more I talk, the more dry my mouth becomes, and my throat hurts."

An Ruoxuan: "Haha, Chu..."

An Ruoxuan's body suddenly froze, and she let out a painful sound.

"What's the matter, Ann?"

"My feet..."

"Grab your clothes!"

Because the visibility was too low, Chu Nan directly discarded the top that blocked his head, covered his nose and mouth with his hands, and squatted down with his eyelids leaking a crack.

Chu Nan saw a spiky rat with its head exposed, it was biting An Ruoxuan's sole tightly, blood was flowing into its mouth, and it even let out a cheerful cry.

"The Gale Spike Rat?"

Here, encountering elite monsters is not a good thing.

But Chu Nan seemed to have noticed something was wrong. There was actually a huge boulder about two meters high above the Gale Spike Rat!
Chu Nan smiled grimly and stretched out his fist: "The cave was built here, but I didn't expect it to be your tomb, right?"

If Chu Nan's estimation is not wrong, the Gale Spike Rat dug a hole under the boulder, which also made the land relatively soft. Transferred to the cave, causing the cave to collapse, and the Gale Spike probably escaped from the cave after discovering it.

While coming out of the cave, the cave collapsed, causing the boulder to sink, just pressing it down.

If it hadn't attacked An Ruoxuan, Chu Nan would never have found it, and now...

Chu Nan violently grabbed the upper and lower jaws of the Galewind Spike Rat.

"Release me!"

Although the teeth of the Gale Rat were sharp, their bite force was not strong. After freeing An Ruoxuan's feet, the Rat was beaten to death by Chu Nan's punches and kicks.

Picking up a skill book and a piece of rat meat that the Gale Spike Rat dropped, Chu Nan stood up happily, and patted the boulder that was close at hand:

"Thank you."

Touching the boulder with his hand, Chu Nan felt a groove.

"Hiss... this is?"

Chu Nan accurately figured out the outline of the groove, which is in the shape of a drop.

"Is this the sign of the water source?"

According to the map, every marked water source point in this wilderness has a boulder. For easy identification, there are water droplets on the boulder as a mark.

"An'an, we found the water source, An'an!"

Chu Nan turned around excitedly, trying to support An Ruoxuan with both hands, but in vain.

"An'an! An'an!"

Bang.

Chu Nan heard the sound of hitting the ground, and squatted down again, An Ruoxuan had already fallen to the ground.

"An An, An An!"

Chu Nan helped An Ruoxuan up, and almost touched his face, and then he saw clearly that An An's face, which had been smeared by the wind and sand, was full of pain, and her lips were bloodless, covered with cracked dry skin.

Fortunately, although his breathing was a little weak, it was still normal. He just passed out, not a heart attack.

Chu Nan didn't seem to have much physical strength, so he dragged An Ruoxuan to the other side of the boulder.

As Chu Nan expected, there was a small bush behind the boulder, and in the bush, there was a depression the size of a washbasin filled with crystal clear water.

The bushes blocked a lot of wind and sand, so that this water source was not buried.

Chu Nan buried his face directly in the water source and drank greedily.

This depression seems to be connected to the groundwater, so it can store water, but it is not too much, about half as deep as an arm.

This water is enough to maintain a person's consumption needs for three days.

But Chu Nan stopped after taking three sips.

With the replenishment of the water source, Chu Nan's physical strength seemed to have returned. He filled his mouth with water, helped An Ruoxuan up, and fed her mouth to mouth towards An Ruoxuan.

Anyway, artificial respiration has already been done, so it doesn't matter to kiss again, it's not to take advantage, it's just a special situation.

Chu Nan didn't care about other things at all, and fed An Ruoxuan water one mouthful at a time.

The deadly wind and sand seemed to be interesting, and it gradually subsided.

The line of sight is finally unaffected.

Previously, because he wanted to avoid getting sand in his eyes, Chu Nan only showed a crack in his eyelids when feeding him water.

Now after fully opening his eyes, Chu Nan realized that An Ruoxuan's lips were not so dry after being nourished by water.

Chu Nan also saw the bright red on An Ruoxuan's face and neck through the dust, as well as her eyelashes that were slightly trembling with her eyes tightly closed.

"I said, wake up and don't make a sound! Don't you know that my neck hurts when I lower my head to drink water and raise it to feed you?"

Chu Nan's exposure made An Ruoxuan open her eyes with a smile, and said mischievously: "It turns out that kissing feels like this, Chu Nan, did you kiss like this when I had a heart attack?"

Chu Nan: "..."

"This is your punishment for taking my first kiss."

Although her face was stained with dust, it couldn't hide An Ruoxuan's playfulness.

An Ruoxuan got up from Chu Nan's arms, lay down at the water source, took another sip, turned her head, and smiled softly at Chu Nan:
"Chu Nan, you are right. Only by treating each death as the last can we overcome difficulties and obstacles. Therefore, even if I faint, the last thought in my mind is, persevere, and Chu Nan will save me."

"Well, let me see what skill book that agouti just exploded. The wound on your foot can be healed with softening water."

Chu Nan's bewildered expression made An Ruoxuan smile again.

And Chu Nan could only curl his lips, and took out the skill book——
