Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1228 1210. Desert water flow

The bright sun hung high in the sky, and the layer of air on the sand was burned by the heat until the light was distorted.

It was as if even the air sucked into the nose and trachea contained heat that evaporated the moisture.

Within half a minute of the flannel ball stepping on the sand, he immediately lifted up his furry hind legs and jumped up and down on the sand.

While jumping, it took out a small cloak suitable for its body shape from the space expansion bag on its body, and covered itself neatly.

In this environment, if the armor is exposed to direct sunlight, meat will be fried on it over time.

Berengar, who was still wet and dripping with water, was relatively comfortable at this time, but the old demon hunter estimated that he could finish it within an hour in this environment.

Lan En came last. After he came, the air pressure disturbed by the intersection of the celestial sphere and the layer of sand and dust that was rolled up gradually stopped.

"This is another world?"

Tisaya was a warlock, and she usually wanted to use the teleportation spell as a carriage. At this time, her dizziness was the slightest.

There was nothing wrong with the desert, but she was surprised when she looked at the large ant mounds that were tens of meters high and looked like rock pillars standing on the sea of ​​sand.

"Welcome to the New World."

As a specially recruited hunter from the fifth phase of the New World Survey Group, Lan spoke to Tissaya and Berengar in a half-local tone.

"Believe me, there's no place more comfortable than here."

"You mean this place is suitable for vacation?" Tissaya frowned slightly, "But the weather here is too hot, and the desert is desolate."

"This is a new continent, Tissaya. What is the concept of continent?" Lan En spread his hands and said with a smile, "The desert is just a corner of this continent."

"And I don't care if you say anything else, but you want to say that the ecology here is 'barren'. Tsk tsk tsk."

The young demon hunter smacked his lips, with disapproval and amusement evident in his tone.

Tissaya raised her eyebrows: "This is a desert."

Lan En responded decisively and confidently: "This is the desert of the New World."

"Okay, okay." Berengar tried to spread his wet clothes so that he could dry them quickly with the help of the environment. "We'll decide whether it's deserted or not later. It's too hot here now. How about we look for a way first?"

Of course Lan En said it was no problem.

Falling suddenly into a desert environment would be fatal enough for ordinary people.

But here it's different.

The vitality of the New World is far more prosperous than that of the normal world.

Although the Great Ant Mound Wasteland looks like a desert or the Gobi Desert, in fact, with the prosperous vitality of the New World, this kind of natural environment should not exist at all.

According to the research of the old people at the Ecological Research Institute of the New World Survey Group, this may be because the endless circulation of vitality in the New World is too strong. Instead, there are temporary siltation and obstructions during the circulation process, creating an environment that is constantly created.

The emergence of deserts in other places is the evolution of the natural environment, but the wastelands in the New World are actually 'unnatural'.

Precisely because it is unnatural, the natural and ecological resources of the Big Ant Mound Wasteland are not impoverished at all.

There are many rivers and swamps in the wasteland of Big Anthill.

Nowadays, humans in the New World are basically professionals in the investigation team. They think that it may be more difficult for accidents to occur in this desert due to the natural environment.

"Mentos, start adjusting time and determining position."

"In progress, sir."

Mentos had already started his work the moment Lann entered the New World.

Lan En, who was working with the biochemical brain in his mind, also asked Qilin next to him.

"Which direction is the Lu Coral Platform? Can you feel it?"

While relying on the computing power of the biochemical intelligence brain to advance the measurement progress, Lan En is still collecting more information to reduce the difficulty of measurement.

At this time, Qilin seemed to be feeling very comfortable. This species is extremely adaptable. People have witnessed traces of Qilin's activities in volcanoes, ice fields, mountains, and basins.

At this time, it relied on its physical superiority as an ancient dragon race and came to the desert without any discomfort.

"Huchi~"

Two puffs of air blew out from its big wet nostrils, and Qilin's hooves hesitated on the sand for a few seconds.

Then he stretched his neck, and the pale horn, which was still short of being fully grown, pointed in one direction.

It was born in the New World and had been living on the terrestrial coral plateau before meeting Lan En, where the terrestrial seaweed was its favorite.

It is familiar with the electromagnetic environment there, so it can recognize it even if it has just returned.

Lan En, who had obtained the general direction as a reference, quickly worked with Mentos to construct the current time of the New World and the area where they were located.

"I probably know what's going on." Lan En removed the large package Berengar was carrying and put it into the space-expanding horse bag on Qilin's body, beckoning everyone to follow him.

"Here, I remember that the investigation team set up a camp nearby. After all, the New World still lacks manpower, and the built camp will not be abandoned easily."

That was a camp built previously to block the large-scale operation of the Molten Dragon. It was not far from the valley where the initial blockade was conducted.

If Lan En was not mistaken, what they found at this time might not only be a small camp, but even a large facility set up by the New World Survey Team.

Under Lan En's confident guidance, the group began to walk in the desert with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Tishaya and Berengar were both authentic northerners, and they had seen the desert only a few times in their lives. Of course, they could not adapt to walking in the desert.

But as Lan En confidently introduced to them before, after walking in a seemingly barren desert for three or four hours, they heard the sound of trickling water.

Although it was expected, Tishaya and Berengar were still a little surprised.

Because if they were not very lucky to fall on the edge of a desert, it means that this desert really has water veins flowing through the middle and crisscrossing.

Water veins in the desert are really rare.

Sure enough, the fine sand under their feet became more and more compacted as the sound of the water flow became clearer and clearer.

Gradually, it changed from sand to dry soil, and then to ordinary soil with moisture.

The fluff ball was very happy, although it was usually optimistic and hardworking.

But after returning to its "hometown", it had planned to find two friends from the thief adventure group it had formed.

The same was true for the Qilin, but it missed the terrestrial seaweed of the Coral Plateau.

As for the golden lion that broke and gnawed its Qilin horn.

Hey! The guy who couldn't even control his energy without a tail must have been killed by his own runaway energy!

The grumpy guy deserved a short life!

The Qilin thought with some pride, after all, it had also made a great effort when it cut off the guy's tail.

While thinking, the Qilin's very understandable mind was reflected in its actions, and its four hooves jumped like dancing.

But the mood of others was not very good.

Tishaya and Berengar, two people who had not been active in the desert, were sweating and panting at this time.

Although Lan En had not stayed in the desert for too long, he now had a bunch of high-tech enhanced organs in his body to regulate the balance of the physiological environment in his body.

The current temperature difference was not difficult for him to adapt to.

After a friendly exchange with Qilin, Dishaya got permission to sit on the back of the ancient dragon.

But there was no chaos magic in this world for the sorceress to call upon. She could only use the little bit of magic in her body to cast spells.

So now the sorceress still tried her best to keep her clothes neat, but the collar on her chest was open, which was considered a rule among sorceresses but bold among ordinary people.

The large area of ​​skin on her exposed chest was already covered with sweat beads, showing a greasy and slippery appearance.

In this group of bold and uninhibited sorceresses, she maintained a proper restraint and self-respect, which was, to some extent, the unique charm of Dishaya.

Berengar's clothes had been dry for a long time, and now they were stuck to his body by his own sweat.

After hearing the sound of water, everyone was relieved, because even if they didn't find the so-called camp, there would be no problem with fresh water.

But as they got closer and closer to the sound of gurgling water, Lan En's brows slowly frowned.

"What's going on?" Berengar muttered while wiping his sweat, "Is it because of the humidity? Why does it feel hotter and hotter?"

Not only him, but also the fluffy ball, who had been active in the New World for many years and was quite adapted to the desert environment, opened his mouth and unconsciously stuck out his tongue to breathe to dissipate heat.

"It's really too hot. Why does it feel hotter than in the desert, meow?"

But after walking forward for a while and really seeing the water flow, they were sure: something was wrong!

It was not because of the error of physical sensation, nor was it because of humidity, but it was really hotter here than in the desert!

"This is." The fluffy ball stood on the half-wet and half-dry land by the stream, surrounded by swaying and wilting waterside weeds.

The calico kitten opened its mouth and looked at the slowly flowing water.

On the water, several big fish with a very wild New World style were turning their bellies upside down and being carried away by the current without moving.

This is a bite fish, a common fish in the water system of the Great Ant Mound Wasteland.

A fish that is at least half the size of a human, with ferocious teeth, and a body full of tough fish skin and strong muscles.

A normal large dog standing on the shore may be torn into the water by this fish.

But now.

"It was scalded to death." Lan En came to the conclusion at a glance.

This kind of fish that can be included in the hunter's task list and is considered a small monster was scalded to death in the water.

Not to mention other ordinary creatures in the water.

The scalded bodies of sashimi fish, whetstones whose scales can be used as whetstones, and other creatures were all flowing down the water.

In the upstream direction of the water, a black and white Felu cat was paddling a small hovercraft that fits its body size, anxiously going downstream.
