Chapter 298 [0295] First Arrival at the Oasis

As Skarash's pace became faster and faster, almost running wild, Ino, who was originally sleeping soundly, also woke up in a daze.

"What happened?" She rubbed her eyes and looked at the scene that was rapidly retreating around her, as if she was startled, "Why is Skarash running so fast? Is something chasing us?"

"No, no, no, Skarash smelled the scent of the oasis." Lux said excitedly, "Just now when you were sleeping, I talked to Karya about Bake..."

Just as Lux briefly told Ino about the conversation with Karya just now, Skarash finally began to climb up along a sand dune and soon climbed over the dune.

The next moment, an incredible, jade-like oasis appeared in front of Lux and Ino.

"This shouldn't be a mirage, right?" Ino murmured, "I really saw an oasis, between endless yellow sand!"

"The light is normal, it's not an illusion, it's an oasis!" Lux confirmed, "We have reached the oasis!"

An hour later, under the frantic running of Skarash, Lux and Ino finally arrived at the oasis.

Jumping off Skarash's broad back, Lux and Ino stepped on the leathery leaves of an unknown plant, looking at the green scene around them, and for a moment they felt a little like they were in another world.

Obviously, there was endless yellow sand just one step away, but within one step, there were plants thriving, which was simply a miracle of life!

Squatting down, Lux carefully pushed away the layers of leathery leaves covering the ground, and finally saw the black soil well protected by these leaves.

The soil here is not fertile, and it is not moist in the hands, but Lux, holding the soil in her hands, has an urge to cry - after ten days of continuous travel, she finally saw colors other than yellow and saw the familiar land!

Beside her, Ino was also overwhelmed and unable to control herself. Although she did not bend over and grab a handful of soil like Lux, she was also taking deep breaths, as if to replace all the dry air in her lungs with the slightly moist air in this oasis!

As for Skarash, who had carried them all the way here, he spread his four legs to both sides, lowered his head on the spot, and began to chew the layers of wide and thick leathery leaves on the ground.

These strong leathery leaves with a waxy surface are quite strong in texture. If they are cut with a sword, it will probably be not much different from cutting the leather of an animal.

However, in front of the incisors and millstone-like molars in Skarash's mouth that can be replaced quickly, these strong leathery leaves are no different from tender leaves!

Skarash opened his mouth wide and bit off most of the leaf. After cutting it with his incisors, he chewed and sipped it, and soon ground it into small pieces, and swallowed it with his neck tilted back - then, with the help of swallowing, his gastrointestinal peristalsis quickly accelerated.

Lux and Ino, who were moved, chose to avoid it at the first time - then, they saw Skarash swinging his short tail and fertilizing the plants behind him.

……………………

Finding an oasis means finding a water source.

After confirming with Karya that Skarash would not have a stomachache, the two split into two groups - Ino stayed to watch Skarash, and Lux ​​took his sword and began to look for the water source of this oasis.

"Generally speaking, the water source of an oasis is groundwater that naturally seeps out of the ground, so it is often located at the lowest point of the oasis, where the surrounding plants are the most luxuriant." Karya introduced to Lux, "But this oasis seems to be located in a basin, and there are many oil silk plants growing, so you must be careful and beware of stepping into empty space."

"Step into empty space?" Lux was stunned for a moment, "Is there a cavity underground here?"

"No, beware of stepping into empty space to avoid you stepping into the water." Karya explained with a smile, "Oil silk plants are plants with broad leaves on the ground. They Not only can it grow on land, but it can also adapt to lower concentrations of salt water. Even on the surface of a saltwater lake, it can spread out in layers. "

"..."

"Maybe you see leaves, but in fact, they are just disguises floating on the water, so you must be careful - although the water in the oasis is the source of life, it is often not clean and clear. If you dive into the water, it will be quite embarrassing!"

Hearing what Kalya said, Lux carefully pulled out the broken blade, took the scabbard in his hand like a short stick, and began to knock on the ground.

What's more, Lux really heard a sound of water while knocking.

Bending over, she carefully lifted the leathery leaves of several oil silk plants in front of her - then, accompanied by an unpleasant smell, a source of life appeared in front of Lux.

Not caring about the strange smell of the dead water in the oasis covered by the leaves of the oil silk plant, Lux laughed out loud on the spot without caring about her image.

Although the water here is obviously not drinkable and cannot be used directly for bathing, it is very easy for Ino to make ice cubes next to the water source. All he has to do is wait for the ice to melt and then he can take a comfortable bath!

And just when Lux burst out laughing, not far in front of her, the leaves of the oil silk tree were opened row by row, and on the calm lake, a small boat appeared in front of Lux.

"Are you the outsider Bono mentioned?" Inside the boat, a child poked his head out, "Welcome to the oil silk oasis!"

The child's Shurima language was not standard, with a hint of an indescribable accent - but with Kalya around, there was no problem communicating with Lux.

Facing this polite little guy, Lux waved to him happily.

"Is this called Yousi Oasis?" Lacus blinked and showed a very friendly smile, "My name is Lacus, and I am a traveler who happened to pass by here. I plan to stay overnight nearby and visit the oasis by the way. Replenish your supplies.”

"Bonu said that the oasis does not belong to anyone." The child tried hard to act like a young adult, trying to look more like a mature person, "You can use it as long as you don't waste it. "

"Don't worry!" Lux nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, "My friends and I are still experienced people, and we will never damage the environment here - let's not talk about it for now, I will go back and take care of the place right now. Take Kalash to the side and don't let him chew on one area. It will be bad if the oily threads are chewed out and cause alopecia areata!"

Kalya’s Little Classroom·Yousuzi:

An herbaceous plant that is drought-resistant and can effectively change the environment, its name comes from its broad, oiled leaves and disproportionately slender vines.

PS. The sofa was robbed, and there is another chapter in the evening.
