A Delicious and Flammable Backlands Tour

The first one is an amulet called the Water Wave Necklace. If you wear it, you can breathe underwater, and most aquatic creatures will become friendly.This thing is not needed on land, but for the sake of protection and enchantment, Xia Zhi reluctantly used it.

The second piece is a gray-blue strange runestone.

"Hey, this thing is good."

Xia Zhi's eyes lit up, others don't know the jumping speed, how can he not understand.Take the battle with the desert scorcher as an example, if I can jump faster, as for suffering that?

Not to mention that this is still a protection enchantment.Together with the previous water wave necklace, it added 8 points of defense to itself, which already exceeded the tungsten steel suit.

The unhappiness brought about by the hydroelectric sword disappeared in an instant.

The last thing is a pattern made of energy.Xia Zhi stretched out his hand and held it in his palm.

[Desert Scourge (Praise): The giant beast that used to swim in the water has now become a gluttonous shell, constantly looking for the next good meal. 】

"Master, this is...information!"

"I know. Well, sure enough, this guy used to be an aquatic animal. Then this desert, I'm afraid..."

While thinking about it, Xia Zhi crumpled the pattern into a ball and sent it to the trash can.

"I feel that there are still some secrets in the antlion's lair that have not been discovered."

"Speaking of this..." Xieyan hesitated, "After you defeated that bug, I vaguely felt that there seemed to be other powerful creatures underground."

But it doesn't seem to be hostile, and the evil eye doesn't care.

"Looks like we'll have to come back sometime. I feel like I've got a clue."

Xia Zhi yawned.

"But let's take a rest today, there are still many things to deal with."

NO.735 So you betrayed me

The contents of the second treasure bag are much less, only a water wave necklace, a hydroelectric sword and a dust cloak.

"Okay, I know what I should do."

Seeing the second dagger in his hand, Xia Zhi sneered. Isn't this just forcing himself to play with throwing knives?

At this time, the convoy also arrived at the oasis, only to hear a loud voice, the car stopped.

"what's up?"

Xia Zhi poked his head out quietly.

This side seems to be surrounded by a group of people. The person headed by them stopped Katya who was negotiating, and the others were searching the compartment one by one.

"What's the situation? Is it the investigation of drug trafficking in another world?"

Xia Zhi retracted her head, sat in her seat and drank tea calmly, not panicking at all.

It's impossible to come here specifically to catch yourself!I'll just watch the fun.

A minute later, the door of the carriage was pushed open.The leader glanced at Xia Zhi, as if he had discovered something, he nodded.

"It's him, you can't be wrong."

"Please come with us."

Xia Zhi: "?????"

Xia Zhi was dumbfounded when he was kicked out of the car by this group of people.

"Hey! You can arrest people, but if you can't give a reason, I won't do it!"

Of course, he won't get any silly answers like "Be honest, you are there every time XX", these guys seem to be just following orders.

Katia was a little anxious, except when she was fighting against the bandit group, she had never seen such a big battle in the oasis.

"You must be mistaken!"

She spoke to the oasis guards.

"We are just an ordinary caravan, and Mr. Xia Zhi is our hired guard."

"Feel sorry."

The captain in charge of leading the team pointed to the water wave necklace hanging on Xia Zhi's waist.

"It's just that the elder asked us to bring all adventurers who wear this kind of jewelry to him."

Xia Zhi on the side realized that the Shuibo necklace she was wearing had betrayed her.This thing looks quite beautiful, and he didn't cancel the appearance display of accessories.

However, being asked to get out of the car so forcefully, his good mood was also disturbed.

"It seems that the wording used by your elders is quite severe, otherwise you can look for it slowly, and you don't need to bring people to search one by one."

Xia Zhi bowed her head slightly.

"I can talk to you in the past, but this is out of my own personal opinion. As for these people, please don't embarrass them..."

"It's natural."

Feeling that he was being stared at by more than a dozen unkind eyes, the guard felt a little nervous, and quickly made a promise.

"Mr. Xia Zhi..."

Katya wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xia Zhi, he said in a low voice.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. The people who are looking for me may be the 'Water People'. They know that I killed the desert scorcher. The next thing is very dangerous, and it is no longer for serious people to intervene Yes. If you are responsible to your companions, you should take them out of this place immediately and go back to dispose of the gold. Our cooperation has ended, so let’s part ways here.”

"But."

"If you can do what you promised me, it will be the greatest help to me."

Xia Zhi smiled and drew a round object.

"I have a way of getting out."

"...I see." Katya nodded.

After explaining these things, Xia Zhi looked at the guards and said frivolously.

"Lead the way."

……

The summer solstice is brought to the center of the oasis.The building here is rare to have three floors. Although there is not much decoration, the building as a whole reveals a mysterious color.

"My task is to take you to the door, the elder is waiting for you inside."

After the guard indicated that Xia Zhi could go in, he went back to duty.

Seeing that no one was looking here, Xieyan floated out to remind Xia Zhi.

"Master, the people living here are not purebred humans."

"Well, after all, how could a purebred human be able to control the water source by nature."

Xia Zhi smiled and opened the door, and went in without even knocking.

The decoration inside the house is very pure and delicate, and the transparent furniture mainly in azure blue is distributed in every corner.The light source from the large chandelier above the head is reflected by the crystal shell, turning into layers of thin light.

Xia Zhi walked through the central aisle and came to the hall.Sure enough, in the living room, a slightly fat old man was standing there with a cane in both hands, waiting for him.

----

Oasis Manager - Mambo (People of Water)

HP: 300/300

? ? ? ?

? ? ? ?

Neither of them spoke first, they were both looking at each other and judging each other's strength.In the end, the old man withdrew his gaze wearily.

"...You were the one who hunted down that Scourge."

"Ah."

Xia Zhi shook the water wave necklace in his hand.He could feel that the old man's gaze was fixed on the necklace.

So... how about this?Master Xia simply took off the necklace, and kept throwing and catching it in his hand.And the eyes of the old man also moved up and down along with the necklace.

"Interesting. The purpose of your coming to me, shouldn't it be to incriminate the teacher?"

"You saved the oasis for one disaster, how could I blame you."

Elder Manbo let out a long breath.

"I sigh for the unfair fate of the guardians of my family."

"Are you referring to the desert scourge?"

"Yes. It seems that you already know something about our existence."

"It's just hearsay, plus some my own guesses."

Xia Zhi nodded.

"If it is a naturally formed desert, it is impossible for shellfish with residual water vapor to exist."

The lore of the Desert Scourge already hints that this desert was once a sea long ago.Up to now, only the oasis controlled by the people of water and a desert scourge remain in the desert. The relationship between the two is not difficult to guess.

"Decades ago, this place was part of the ocean. There was a kingdom under the water, and the king led his people to multiply here."

The elder spoke slowly.

"However, since the king offended a terrible existence, a powerful wizard, he used magic to evaporate all the ocean - the kingdom fell, and the king disappeared. And the desert scourge was originally the king of the kingdom. The guards went crazy because there was no water."

"The necklace in your hand is a token of our clan. If you want to get it now, you must kill the desert scorcher entrenched in the depths of the desert."

"So, you felt that it was killed, and you found me through this necklace, just to tell me a story?"

Xia Zhi was unmoved.

Although he came here to fix the world, he is completely an outsider when it comes to the people of water. It is fine to listen to a story, but it is useless to use this as an excuse to ask him to help with things.

"Heh, I want you to look for the king's trace."

Old Man Bo said seriously.

"Just when the Scourge died today, I suddenly sensed that the king was deep in the desert."

"remuneration?"

"You can drive whatever you want, as long as we can afford it."

"Ha, do you think I'll believe it?"

"...You may not know how important the king is to us."

Old Man Chang smiled wryly, rolled up his sleeves, and exposed his arms.

Xia Zhi saw that the features of fish gradually appeared on this guy's skin.But just before it fully appeared, it suddenly disappeared as if it had touched a certain taboo.

"Did you see? The ability to control water is not something we are born with, but it is bestowed by the king. Without the king, the ability of the people of water cannot be guided, and will eventually be lost to everyone, until it is completely forgotten."

Old man Manbo bowed his head sincerely to the summer solstice.

"You are the first person who can kill the desert scourge, so you are qualified to find the king. If you can save the people of water from the catastrophe, then we will sacrifice everything."

NO.736 Is this purification?

"Emmmm, let me think about it for a night." Xia Zhi didn't agree to the other party immediately.
