Mystery Makes Me Strong

"God, please forgive me!"

The missionary would confess like this every time he was briefly awake.

…………

He didn't know that his god was also going through a trial.

Xiao Huan then threw the stone into a new place.

It was a desert.

"As a god, you should undergo more profound training." Xiao Huan said this, sounding like an adult.

In fact, Zhao Han knew that this guy was just imitating his teacher.

…………

The body of the stone staggered forward under the scorching sun, and his skin was eroded by the ruthless desert sand, leaving cracked scars.

His eyes revealed fatigue and despair, but in this deserted desert, he still persisted and looked for a ray of life.

Just now, his two sisters sealed his power.

The advantage he can have is that he will not die, and the rest is similar to ordinary people.

Only by experiencing ordinary people can we understand ordinary people and know how to guide them.

The temperature of the desert reached its peak at noon, and the heat waves invaded Shitou's body wave after wave.

His lips were chapped, his throat was burning, and every step was like walking on a hot iron plate.

Shitou's consciousness began to blur, and hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes. He saw oases, springs, and those dead soldiers and friends.

Just as Shitou was about to fall, a group of desert survivors appeared in his sight.

They were wearing tattered clothes, with sand-proof headscarves on their faces, and were building a temporary camp under a cool sand dune.

They were carefully digging the sand, looking for wet sand, and carefully absorbing water vapor.

Can there be survival in such a place?

Why do you have to survive in the desert instead of those places with abundant water sources?

The survivors noticed Shitou, and their eyes revealed vigilance and curiosity.

A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader came over, with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" The leader's voice was hoarse, and there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Shitou raised his head with great effort, his voice was weak and hoarse: "My name is Shitou, I'm just passing by, I need help."

The leader nodded, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes: "Okay, we'll take you back, but you have to tell us your story."

In the temporary camp, the survivors were busy collecting water and looking for food, and everyone was working hard to survive.

The water source was obtained from deep in the sand, and the food was scorpions, venomous snakes, insects, and camel thorns.

Shitou felt it was difficult to watch.

Everyone could only get the minimum amount of food and water.

Minimize activities, and do not defecate at will.

Shitou was taken to a cool tent.

His body was gently placed on a simple bed.

A young woman came over, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

She handed Shitou a bowl of squeezed turbid water.

She touched Shitou's forehead affectionately with her hand.

"Drink slowly, don't be anxious, child." The woman's voice was soft, and there was a hint of care in her eyes.

A hint of gratitude flashed in Shitou's eyes.

It was like going back to a few months ago, how good it was at that time, with my mother's arms.

He drank the water slowly, and his body began to recover gradually.

As night fell, the temperature in the desert dropped sharply. A bonfire was lit in the camp, and the survivors sat around the bonfire, with a hint of warmth in their eyes.

The sudden drop in temperature made them start to get water in time.

They tried to get dew from the surface of the stone and the surface of the tent.

This let the stone know where their water mainly came from.

The water in the sand was just a slight supplement.

He sat up, and although his body was still weak, there was light in his eyes.

These mortals can live strong.

"We were trapped here during an escape." The leader's voice echoed by the bonfire, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"We escaped the oppression of the dynasty. Their labor was too heavy. We had to do labor for 140 days a year. No one took care of the crops, the elderly, and the children in the fields."

"Although the desert is cruel, it is the fairest because it will also treat the dynasty's tax collectors cruelly."

Shitou nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "I will help you, and we will find a way to survive in the desert together."

In the next few days, Shitou and the survivors worked hard to survive. They looked for water together, fought against the beasts in the desert together, and looked for new ways to survive in the desert together.

"It is best to be able to plant and avoid water evaporation."

"There must be a suitable and stable underground water source."

"That is the oasis."

"But the oasis can only last for a few years before it is ended by storms and the movement of underground water."

Shitou's injuries gradually recovered.

He was surprised to find that his strength was gradually returning.

He knew that his two sisters would not give up on him.

In the process of looking for water, they encountered a group of robbers in the desert.

These robbers were riding camels, and their eyes were full of greed and cruelty.

Stone and the survivors quickly formed a defensive formation, with determination and courage in their eyes.

"Why, we are already living in the most difficult environment, but you still won't let us go?" The leader shouted painfully.

"We must resist, no matter where the landlord is, only resistance can prevent the cruel people from succeeding." Stone's voice echoed in everyone's heart.

Their eyes began to sharpen, flashing with unyielding light.

They didn't want to escape like this anymore.

Compared with the harsh desert environment, these robbers seemed to be easier to deal with.

At least in their eyes, these robbers were meat that could be dried for a year!

Don't think that cannibalism is terrible...

For survival, especially for survival in hell difficulty, people's bottom line will degenerate rapidly.

Of course, after the living conditions are restored, they will also forget this history.

Cannibalism is always a thing with many hidden dangers, and it is too stimulating to the safety psychology of normal people.

Because this thing will cause the order to collapse, no one dares to sleep at ease.

It's as scary as parents talking about eating their daughters.

After a fierce battle, the robbers were repelled.

Stone and the survivors won.

There was a hint of relief and fatigue in their eyes, and their hearts were full of hope.

The robbers were soon dried by the wind.

There was enough meat for six people, enough for them to survive for two months.

"You can't eat people." Shitou suddenly said: "I have a feeling that if you eat people, you can't go back to normal."

However, the others did not argue with him.

They just divided it silently.

At dawn in the desert, Shitou stood on the sand dunes.

His eyes passed through the desert and looked into the distance.

His heart was full of complex emotions. He knew that this desert trial had just begun, and more challenges were waiting for him.

Just like no one listened to him just now.

...

Another day has come.

In the endless desert, the scorching sun is like a hot furnace, baking every inch of land hot.

Shitou, a god and traveler with special abilities.

He chose to help the survivors find water.

He was ready to stagger through this land of death. His skin was tanned and his lips were cracked, but there was still an unyielding light in his eyes.

Finally, during an unexpected exploration, he discovered his ability when he fainted.

His divine power could finally be transformed into practical skills - communicating with the earth, guiding underground water veins, and even allowing plants to grow in the worst environment.

Standing on the top of a sand dune, Shitou closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Below was the temporary camp.

The leader was looking at him in confusion, wondering what this little guy who had been rescued would do.

Shitou was feeling the pulse of the desert, which was an ancient and mysterious language.

He reached out and touched the sand, and his ability began to resonate with the land.

"Please guide me, guardian of the desert." Shitou's voice echoed in the wind, and his heart made a request to the desert.

Suddenly, he felt a cool force surging from the soles of his feet.

An underground water vein slowly rose under his guidance.

He opened his eyes and saw a clear spring gushing out from the sand not far away, forming a small oasis.

The survivors gathered around in surprise, their eyes full of wonder.

The leader was shocked.

Then he felt terrible.

This is not the power that humans should have.

However, everyone else cheered, and around this spring, they showed long-lost smiles on their faces.

They all used the cleanest containers to hold the spring.

"Shitou, how did you do it?" The leader asked seriously.

There was awe in his eyes.

Shitou smiled and shook his head: "This is a gift from the desert, I am just its messenger."

Under the nourishment of the oasis, the surrounding plants began to grow, and patches of green spread in the desert.

Soon, the sand date trees were planted, and there were some plants suitable for the desert environment.

At the same time, they also tried to find rare stone slabs to cover the spring and prevent the sun from shining on it.

It is common sense that the sun will make the water disappear.

They spent a lot of effort, and even covered the tent over the spring.

People set the most stringent rules.

No one is allowed to approach the spring easily, and someone must clean it regularly and worship it.

On this day, various crops began to be harvested.

The survivors began to pick fruits and catch fish and shrimp that inexplicably emerged from the clear spring pool.

Their living conditions have been greatly improved.

They don't know where the fish came from, maybe it was fish eggs brought by the strong wind, or maybe it was buried underground for a long time.

In short, these fish represent the abundance of food.

As time goes by, the oasis becomes more and more prosperous.

The special ability of the stone not only brings water, but also enriches the food resources in this desert. He guides the growth of plants and ensures the supply of food.

The survivors set up a more prosperous camp in the oasis, where they grow crops and raise animals.

Children play in the oasis, and their laughter echoes in the desert, bringing vitality to this desolate land.

They finally have a good life.

People are happy.

On this day, night fell, the temperature of the desert dropped sharply, but the oasis was full of warmth.

The survivors gathered around the campfire, celebrating the miracle of life and thanking the gift brought by the stone.

"We must have saved a god." Someone said.

"Shitou, you are our hero." A young woman, her eyes full of gratitude, she fell in love with Shitou.

But Shitou just smiled.

He knew that his ability changed the fate of this desert, but he also knew that this was just the beginning.

There are more possibilities for his ability.

…………

In the center of the oasis, a clear spring gurgled, nourishing the surrounding vegetation and bringing hope for life.

Soon the news spread around.

There are few people in the desert, but not none.

Some people came here to live quietly.

Someone came to check if it was true, and if someone could really call out the oasis?

In the desert, it must be the highest god.

There are more secrets hidden in the depths of this desert, waiting to be revealed.

One morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds, Shitou stood on the edge of the oasis.

His eyes were suddenly attracted by a strange light on the sand dunes in the distance.

He could feel the ancient and mysterious power contained in that light, which was the whisper of the desert, calling him to explore.

"There seems to be something there." Stone's voice was full of curiosity and vigilance.

Sam is the current leader.

He is responsible for dividing the harvest equally so that everyone can survive.

Of course, this method is not very useful now.

Some people don't want to work anymore.

Because of the existence of the spring pool, everyone can easily exchange for food.

And those foods are really difficult to make.

It just so happens that they can make a lot of wealth by selling springs.

The leader walked to Stone, and his eyes were also full of doubts: "That may be an ancient relic, and we have never dared to explore it in depth."

"This is very common in the desert. How many dynasties' tombs are preserved in the desert."

After deciding to explore the ruins, Stone and Sam quickly organized an expedition team composed of the bravest warriors in the oasis.

They prepared the necessary supplies and weapons, and everyone knew that this would be a journey full of unknowns and dangers.

"We don't know what we will face, but I believe we can meet any challenge." Stone's voice was powerful.

There was also a gleam of determination in his eyes.

The expedition team crossed the oasis and walked towards the ruins.

The scorching sun scorched them mercilessly, and sandstorms hit from time to time, bringing great obstacles to their progress.

Stone used his ability to guide the underground water veins, provide water for the team, and ensure the safety of the expedition team.

In a sandstorm, Stone stood at the front of the team, his body emitting a faint light, forming a protective shield to protect the team from the invasion of sand and dust.

He was soon worshiped as a real god.

"Follow me, we can't get lost here." Stone said seriously.

"I'm not a god, gods are not as low-level as me."

"In our eyes, you are much more real than those tall gods, you are very bright." An explorer said.

After several days of arduous trekking, the expedition team finally arrived at the location of the ruins.

An ancient stone gate loomed in the wind and sand, and the stone gate was engraved with strange runes, as if it was a portal to another world.

"This is the ruins." There was a trace of awe in the voice of leader Sam, and his eyes lingered on the stone gate.

Shitou walked forward, his hand touched the runes on the stone door with force, he could feel the power contained in the runes.

He closed his eyes and began to communicate with the runes, trying to unlock the secret of the stone door.
