C1737 Han Xue'er Is Sick
Then, Chu Yue abruptly opened her eyes and said to Zhong Ming, "Now that you mention it, I have indeed seen an oasis like this before on my way to Xi Rui Academy."
Zhong Ming was naturally pleasantly surprised by Chu Yue's sudden words. As long as there was an oasis, the three of them would be able to survive.
"Then do you know the exact location of Xi Rui Academy in the capital?" Zhong Ming continued to ask Chu Yue. Although the compass was no longer effective, he could roughly determine the direction of the sun. If there weren't any big problems, the three of them should be able to accurately head towards Xi Rui Academy.
"The northwest is naturally in the northwest. Xi Rui Academy's specific location is set as the starting point for its construction. That's why it's located in the northwest." Chu Yue explained to Zhong Ming.
Zhong Ming nodded slightly, then raised his head and looked towards the direction of the sun. Theoretically, the rising and setting of the east was the basic rule for the sun to move, so Zhong Ming judged the general direction of the northwest based on this rule.
"Let's keep going." Zhong Ming said to Chu Yue and Han Xue'er.
At this moment, Han Xue'er's expression was already somewhat unsightly. However, after considering the principle of not dragging the entire team because of her, she still clenched her teeth and slowly got up from the ground.
"Xiao Hei, Little White!" "I'm up. Hold on for a bit." Zhong Ming said to the two horses.
The two horses slowly stood up from the ground.
The journey was very difficult, so naturally, the horses were very tired too. Therefore, Zhong Ming and the others didn't ride the horses, and instead proceeded on foot with their bags.
Soon, the sky began to darken again.
Because Han Xue'er was sick, her lips were already cracked and bleeding. In the end, because she was powerless, she directly fell to the ground.
Zhong Ming only heard a "plop" as he turned around to look at Han Xue'er, only to see that she had already collapsed on the ground.
Zhong Ming immediately rushed towards Han Xue'er. He used his hands to help her up and asked, "Xue'er, are you alright?"
"I... I'm fine, I can still walk. " Han Xue'er said weakly to Zhong Ming.
"Why are you still running!?" Han Xue'er, if you have a fever, why didn't you say so earlier! Zhong Ming touched Han Xue'er's forehead and saw that it was boiling hot. Zhong Ming quickly retracted his hand!
Indeed, the temperature in the desert differed greatly. Furthermore, after experiencing such a large sandstorm, it would be strange if Han Xue'er didn't have a fever!
At this time, Zhong Ming also deeply fell into self-blame. If he had noticed Han Xue'er's signs of fever earlier, Han Xue'er wouldn't have turned into this state.
"Drink some water first. Han Xue'er, I'll concoct a medicinal pill for you right now!" Zhong Ming said to Han Xue'er.
"Our herbs seem to have been swept away by the sandstorm." When Chu Yue heard that Zhong Ming wanted to help Han Xue'er refine the pill, she helplessly said this to Zhong Ming.
Only then did Zhong Ming remember that the two bags of pills that he had hung on his horse were all blown away by the wind!
Zhong Ming frowned and hastily took off the clothes on his body. Then, he draped them over Han Xue'er's body.
"Zhong Ming, you're crazy!" You're courting death! This is Big Desert, the temperature right now is very low. If you take off your clothes, your body temperature will quickly disappear! " After Chu Yue saw Zhong Ming take off her clothes to cover Han Xue'er, she shouted crazily at Zhong Ming.
Zhong Ming shook his head and slowly stood up. He looked at Chu Yue behind him and said, "Then do you want me to watch Han Xue'er die? I can't do it. "
"Zhong Ming, don't just think about others. If you are also sick, then we might not be able to get out of this desert!" Chu Yue frowned as she spoke to Zhong Ming.
"Then I can't just stand by and watch you die! You have to know that we are a team! " Zhong Ming shouted at Chu Yue.
Chu Yue frowned. At this point, she couldn't say anymore. After all, Han Xue'er and Zhong Ming's friendship was much deeper than hers!
"Zhong Ming, I'm really fine, don't worry about me." Han Xue'er frowned slightly as she looked at Zhong Ming helplessly.
"What do you mean fine? You're already like this!" "Why are you still fine? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhong Ming shouted angrily at Han Xue'er.
At this moment, Han Xue'er also slightly lowered her head, sighing with extreme helplessness. "I just don't want to implicate you."
Zhong Ming's tears instantly rolled down his face when he heard this. He apologized to Han Xue'er, "Sorry Han Xue'er, it was my fault. I made a mistake. I shouldn't have told you about going to the northwest!"
"Zhong Ming, don't say anymore. I'll be there wherever you are!" It's also my wishful thinking to go with you to the northwest. " Han Xue'er said to Zhong Ming.
"Take a rest first, I'm going to find a water source!" Zhong Ming said to Han Xue'er.
"It's so late, I might as well go tomorrow. I can still hold on." Han Xue'er said weakly to Zhong Ming.
However, the more Han Xue'er said this, the more Zhong Ming felt that he had let Han Xue'er down. He then called over Xiao Hei, allowing Han Xue'er to lean on Xiao Hei's body so that they could warm each other up. He then said to Chu Yue, "Chu Yue, look for Han Xue'er. I'll go find a water source."
"Zhong Ming, you are a madman. Do you know how cold it is in the desert at night? You will freeze to death if you only wear a thin layer of clothing." Chu Yue seriously spoke to Zhong Ming.
When Zhong Ming saw Chu Yue's expression, he could feel that she wasn't joking. Moreover, he had already felt the chill coming from the desert, but there was nothing he could do. If he didn't find the water source, then everyone would die here!
"Whatever. If I still haven't come back by daybreak, you can just continue on your way and head in that direction." Zhong Ming stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of the moon.
Chu Yue sighed. In the end, she couldn't refuse Zhong Ming and slightly nodded her head.
Zhong Ming disappeared from their sight with a few strides.
The sandstorm continuously hit Zhong Ming's face, and the pain made him feel exceptionally clear-headed.
"Zhong Ming, you brat, you're so manly. Are you not afraid of death?" At this time, the old man that lived inside Zhong Ming's bracelet asked Zhong Ming.
"Smelly old man, don't talk so much. I can definitely find a water source for you!" Zhong Ming frowned and said to the old man inside the bracelet.
"Hehe, I wanted to help you a little. Since that's the case, then forget it!" The old man said to Zhong Ming with a smile.
"Help? What help? You smelly old man, hurry up and say it. I know that if I die, you won't be able to live anymore! " Zhong Ming said to the old man in a threatening tone.
"You stinking brat, you're quite smart. You've really hit the mark. Alright, seeing how pitiful you are, I'll tell you where the oasis is." The old man smiled and said to Zhong Ming.
"Do you know where the oasis is?" Zhong Ming asked the old man angrily. Since the old man knew, why didn't he tell him earlier!?
"Of course I know where Oasis is, because with my Spiritual Energy, I can still sense it." The old man smiled and said to Zhong Ming.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier! Do you know that someone is already dying! " Zhong Ming said angrily to the old man.
"Of course I know. However, this is only a test I'll give you." The old man said to Zhong Ming.
When Zhong Ming heard this old man say such words, his anger immediately rose. This old man was clearly toying with him! Han Xue'er was a fresh life, yet the old man said he was giving her a test.
"Cut the crap, old man. Hurry up and tell me where Oasis is!" Zhong Ming asked the old man.
"It's right in front, but what I want to tell you is that there seems to be the aura of the Demon Clan up ahead. You have to be careful." With that, the old man disappeared from Zhong Ming's mind.
"Demon Clan?" A sense of déjà vu gushed into Zhong Ming's heart. He seemed to have heard the word Demon Clan before, but he couldn't remember who it came from.
In order to save Han Xue'er's life, Zhong Ming couldn't be bothered with the matter of Demon Clan and directly rushed forward as if he was flying.
Soon, Zhong Ming found the oasis!
The scene of lush greenery in front of him had a unique flavor to it even in the desert.
Zhong Ming walked forward and hurriedly ran to the side of the pool, crazily pouring water into the water bag. If he came here alone, he would definitely have a good time in the oasis. Right now, there were two lives in his hands!
"Smelly old man, bring me some water bags!" Zhong Ming said to the old man inside the bracelet.
Although he had lost several water bags, he had already prepared himself. Before he had entered the desert, he had placed the water bag into his bracelet.
"Brat, I am a dignified Sword Saint. Being called this way by you all the time, I feel very unhappy in my heart!" The Sword Saint said to Zhong Ming snappily.2
"Cut the crap, hurry up and take it out!" Zhong Ming said to the Sword Saint in annoyance.
The Sword Saint shrugged his shoulders and passed a few water bags to Zhong Ming.
"Kid, be careful. The aura of your Demon Clan is getting heavier and heavier." The old man reminded Zhong Ming in a low voice.
"I know." Zhong Ming nodded slightly, but he didn't take the old man's words to heart. After all, he had been drinking water for such a long time and nothing unexpected had happened.
After Zhong Ming had filled all the water bags, he put the water bags into the bracelet.
Zhong Ming stood up and looked back. There were a few herbs in the bushes, and he was overjoyed. Zhong Ming also realized that these herbs could cure Han Xue'er's disease.
Then, Zhong Ming walked towards the bushes and quickly picked a lot of herbs.
"That's great! With these medicinal plants, she'll be able to recover from Han Xue'er's fever. Zhong Ming said to himself excitedly.
Just as Zhong Ming was delighted, a loud sound came from behind him!
"Rumble …"
Zhong Ming was shocked by the sudden loud noise. He quickly turned around and looked behind him. He saw a five-meter tall giant monster appearing in the middle of the pool!
The monster had an extremely ugly appearance. Its entire body was covered in thorns and it also emitted a special smell. After it entered Zhong Ming's nose, Zhong Ming subconsciously vomited a few times.
"What the hell is that thing!?" Zhong Ming asked the old man in surprise.
