Chapter 105 Underground Temple

Bang.

The fire bomb hit the last sand knight, harvesting its life. Gross struggled to wipe his dry and cracked lips, leaning against the stone and breathing heavily.

This is the fourth day. Since being attacked by the Murk Crow, his guess seems to be very accurate. The Murk Crow did not appear again. Along the way, there was no shadow except for the demons such as the cave jumper.

Gulp, Gross looked at the blood flowing from the spear cats among the corpses, and swallowed involuntarily. It was a pity that due to the lack of water, the saliva in his mouth had dried up long ago. The blood on the ground that had not been swallowed by the dry soil seemed particularly tempting in his eyes.

"My lord." With a timid cry, a shriveled water bag was handed to him from the side.

"Claudia, I'm not thirsty yet." Gross was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This dancer named Claudia was very well-behaved. Every time a battle was over, the girl would consciously hand over a little dry food and water bag. If he was not in the dry highlands, he would have arranged a good future for the girl. Unfortunately, in two days, all three of them would have to leave their lives in this hopeless land.

Thinking of this, Gross couldn't help but regret his decision four days ago again. Now he has gotten rid of the dark crows, but he has fallen into a situation where he has no water or food. Now that he thinks about it, it would be better to be caught by the dark crows and leave his life to fate. Subconsciously, he looked up at Lan Wu not far away.

He was stunned again when he saw this.

Lan Wu sat in the shade under the stone, closed his eyes, and had a faint smile on his lips. Three strange skeletons and a skeleton mage stood under the scorching sun, scattered around as guards.

A faint demonic aura rose into the air and slowly floated towards Lan Wu. Gross saw it and shook his head and smiled bitterly again. At this point, this guy is still so calm.

"Rodament, is there really no water source nearby?" Lan Wu didn't know that Gross was envious of his character, and he was happily chatting with Rodament.

"I remember that there seemed to be a temple in this area." Rodament looked around and replied in a deep voice: "There is a holy spring water in the temple. Just drink a sip, no matter how big or small the injury is, it can be healed. But it's been too long, I'm afraid it's buried by the desert now."

Lan Wu's eyebrows jumped suddenly. What a holy spring water, it's clearly the well water that exists in every map in the game. No wonder I haven't seen this kind of well water or things like skill temples in so many maps. It turns out that it really exists in some temple.

"Think about it carefully." Lan Wu rubbed his dry and cracked lips. Thinking of clean water, he became even thirstier.

A person's two days of food and clean water now have to be divided into three parts. Being able to survive four days is already the result of careful calculation and saving. If you can't find water and food again, I'm afraid you will really die.

"Uh... I'll think about it." Rodament hesitated, raised his head and looked around. He had been eroded by the devil and turned into a mummy wizard before, and now he has become a ghost. He is not worried about the problem of water and food. But without water, Lanwu and the other two can't last long.

"My lord." A timid voice interrupted Lanwu's thoughts.

Lanwu opened his eyes in surprise and saw Claudia squatting timidly beside him holding a piece of cut cactus. The tender green cactus meat was juicy and immediately aroused his hunger and thirst. He quickly took the cactus and ate the tender and juicy cactus meat while thanking him repeatedly.

"Thank you, thank you."

Claudia's little face blushed, and she quickly shrank to the shade on the side and buried her head in her knees. Seeing her shy look, Lanwu smiled and ate the palm-sized cactus in a few bites.

Lan Wu was in a good mood after replenishing a little water and food when he was starving and thirsty. There was a desert nearby, with no grass growing. The cactus had been carefully plucked of its thorns, and the broken parts were dry and shrunken. It was obviously the water and food that the lucky dancer had hidden early.

This cactus is not common in this land. A few could be found in the two days when I just escaped from the pursuit of the dark crows. But since I entered this desert, this cactus has also become extinct. Being able to hide such a piece of cactus... Lan Wu regretted it immediately when he thought of this.

Claudia had saved a piece of cactus with great difficulty, but why did he eat it all without thinking about it.

"Uh... I'm sorry." Lan Wu was embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. If it weren't for you saving me that day, I'm afraid I would have been beaten to death now." Claudia shook her head softly, still without raising her head.

Lan Wu was stunned and frowned slightly. He thought about it, and suddenly remembered the dancer who was kicked out of the tavern by Glasgow when Gross brought Jerhain's invitation that day. He was surprised and happy and said, "It's you."

As the saying goes, meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Although he was not familiar with this girl, it was also a fate, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that they met again on this dry highland. His mood suddenly improved, and he forgot about his thirst for a while, and chatted with Claudia warmly.

Lan Wu was a otaku before he crossed over. But now he urgently needed to divert his attention, and he performed exceptionally well, making Claudia laugh with just a few words.

Gross, who was not far away, saw Lan Wu and Claudia chatting happily, and his face was full of bad luck. Claudia had just given the last piece of cactus to Lan Wu, and then he thought about how he was only entitled to the few drops of water in the water bag that were almost negligible. This was clearly a different treatment. But on second thought, if he hadn't insisted on taking the risk and continued to move forward, he might have escaped back to Lu Gaoyin now. He had to swallow this bad luck.

The scorching sun gradually moved westward. Gross recovered his strength and snorted coldly: "It's time to set off."

Lan Wu ignored him and turned to look at Rodament. The latter looked down at his feet. He was moved in his heart and immediately asked through the contract: "Is the temple here?"

"If I'm not mistaken, yes." Rodament raised his hand and pointed to the ground not far away. There was a small bulge there.

Lan Wu looked closely and fainted. That small bulge was really not an ordinary stone. Although it was only exposed a little bit on the ground, it could also be seen that there were traces of artificial remains on it. This is a stone pillar.

The temple is right under our feet... How can we get the well water?

Digging is definitely impossible. I'm afraid that people will die of thirst before we dig up the temple. But if we don't dig, how can we enter the temple buried deep underground?

"What are you waiting for?" Gross didn't see Lan Wu get up for a long time, and his mood began to become irritable again.

"Sir." Claudia saw Gross's impatient face, and she was scared and secretly pulled the corner of Lan Wu's clothes.

Lan Wu rolled his eyelids, patted Claudia's little hand, indicating that it was okay, and then raised his head and shouted: "Hey, come here, I found something."

"What is it?" Gross frowned, but walked over as he was told.

"Look." Lan Wu pointed to the small half of the stone pillar exposed on the ground.

Gross looked in the direction of Lan Wu's finger, and when he saw the small half of the stone pillar, his heart moved. He hurried forward, squatted down and reached out to touch it. Soon, he raised his head in surprise: "Temple, this is the remains of the Zakarum Temple."

"Can you find the entrance?" Lan Wu was excited. Being able to reveal the name of this temple in one word, this Lu Gaoyin person must have a way to find the entrance.

"Yes." Gross gave a definite answer that everyone was happy with. He stood up and ordered without question: "Go and look around to see if there are any similar stone pillars nearby."

"The temples built by the Zakarum Church in Lu Gaoyin will all offer a well of water that has received divine blessings." Gross confidently showed off his knowledge. The Zakarum Church is spread all over the world. The temples built in various places are different. Only the temples built in Lu Gaoyin will offer a well of water that symbolizes life to quench the thirst of adventurers.

The three of them immediately took action. Not long after, the other three stone pillars were discovered one by one. The four stone pillars are distributed within a radius of 300 meters. If it weren't for the old ghost Rodament, who was familiar with the structure of the Zakarum Church Temple, it would not be so easy to find.

"Inject fifty points of mana." Gross raised his hand and pressed one of the stone pillars, urging loudly.

Lan Wu didn't bother to get to the bottom of it and asked why he had to inject fifty points of mana. He quickly pressed the stone pillar and began to inject mana. Not long after, a mysterious rune suddenly appeared on the stone pillar. When he saw the rune appear, he immediately remembered the five stone pillars that opened Tristram. He quickly got up, walked quickly to another stone pillar, and injected mana again.

When the second rune appeared on the stone pillar, Gross also completed his work. He stood up and stepped aside, shouting excitedly to Lan Wu: "Hurry up and leave there, the portal is about to open."

Lan Wu had just stepped back a few meters when the four stone pillars suddenly became crystal clear and shot out a blue-white light. The four beams of light met in the middle, and a white light flashed, and a blue and white portal appeared out of thin air on the flat ground.

Looking at this portal, Lan Wu's eyebrows jumped suddenly. This way of opening is very similar to the way Tristram opened it. The only difference is that the five stone pillars need to be in a certain order, while this one only needs to be infused with mana.

"Hurry up and get in, this portal won't last long." Gross rushed into the portal first.

As soon as Lan Wu heard it, he immediately pulled Claudia over and rushed into the portal. The two had just entered the portal when they heard a light snap, and the entire portal suddenly shattered, turning into starlight and falling down.

Bang, Gross held a fire bomb and looked around. The firelight disc player dispersed the darkness here. This is a spacious hall. The surroundings are empty, and the stone carvings on the wall not only have demons, but also angels, which are the stories in the scriptures of the Zakarum Church.

But what caught the three people's attention more was the clear well water in the middle of the hall.

Seeing the clear water, the three people could not wait to rush to the well and drank greedily. The well water was clear and sweet. Just as Rodament said, after drinking the well water, the three people were fully healthy and did not even feel hungry.

The three people were drinking happily when a resentful curse suddenly floated from the corridor at the other end of the silent hall.
