Sandstorm King of Elves
Chapter 295 Ghost Town
In mid-air, Fang Xiao and Yun Hua sat side by side on the elf, flying quickly.
"See? It's a ghost town right there!"
Fang Xiao pointed at an ancient stone castle that looked white in the distance. The castle was partially buried by yellow sand, but its glorious appearance thousands of years ago could still be vaguely seen.
Because it looks very quaint and the area is quite large.
On the outside of the castle, there are still buildings that look like city walls, but most of them have collapsed. There are still handfuls of green grass on them, which are particularly conspicuous.
“Is this a ghost town?”
Yunhua's eyes narrowed.
According to Fang Xiao's introduction, Yunhua learned that the ghost city is actually an ancient city ruins. Some scholars believe that this may be the location of the royal court of an ancient nomadic people. Others believe that this is a transfer station built due to the Silk Road.
There are many different opinions.
However, the true origin of the ghost town cannot be studied and no one can tell clearly.
The ghost town is about thirty kilometers away from the research station. Since no one comes here on weekdays, it was nicknamed the "ghost town" by the research team.
Commanding the giant clay puppet to fall, Yun Hua and Fang Xiao finally landed in the ghost town.
All Yunhua can see is desolation and decay.
"Although the ghost town is abandoned, there is a dry well inside that can collect water. Speaking of which, I discovered this place in the first place!"
Fang Xiao scratched his head.
He stayed in the camp for a few days, but couldn't hold it in any longer, so he took a giant clay doll out for a walk, and finally discovered the ghost town.
The ghost town is not small, and there must have been a lot of people living there before it declined, so there are many wells in the town.
It's a pity that after thousands of years of sandstorms, most of the wells have been blocked by yellow sand and cannot collect water. Only one well can still collect water, but it is still in a semi-paralyzed stage.
Therefore, this dry well became an important water source for the research team.
"Duo?"
Just as Yunhua was chatting with Fang Xiao, Bronze Bell suddenly frowned, and his mental power suddenly swept out.
"Eh~~"
In the sand dunes not far from the dry well, a small snake carrying a baggage was imprisoned by the spiritual power of the bronze bell, and then flew out of the yellow sand.
This little snake is about two meters long, has a relatively slender body, droopy eyelids, eye patterns that look like tears, and a black gizzard on the side of its head and neck.
"Huh? Cornhole snake?"
Yunhua recognized the elf in front of him.
Thinking about it, this sandbag snake should have been lurking in the sand dunes just now. Unfortunately, no matter how well it was hidden, it could not escape the telepathy of the bronze bell.
"Eh~~"
When the sandbag snake was attacked, it immediately sprayed out a large amount of sand from its large nostrils, but it was of no avail.
"Forget it, the bronze bell. This guy probably doesn't mean any harm, just throw it out."
Under Yun Hua's command, the sandbag snake immediately turned into a stream of light and was thrown away.
Under the leadership of Fang Xiao, Yunhua finally came to the only dry well that could still collect water, in the courtyard of the castle.
"This is the only well that can still collect water, but it has been abandoned for too long and has been partially buried by yellow sand, so the water collection speed is very slow."
Fang Xiao pointed to the dry shaft: "The key is that once the water inside reaches calf depth, the water will no longer gather. And the deeper the water, the slower it will gather. So we must fetch water every five minutes or so.
.In this case, if we collect it from morning until dark, we can save almost a ton of water."
"What? From morning until dark?"
Yunhua lives in Bengbu.
Fetching water is too time-consuming, right?
He thought that getting water would not be easy, but he did not expect that it would be this "not easy" and it would just depend on grinding!
"So, we also hate coming to collect water. Although the process is easy, it takes too much time. Basically, we can't leave for a moment. Otherwise, the water collection speed will slow down, and it will be easy to not get enough water."
Fang Xiao spread his hands and seemed helpless.
From now on, the courage to collect water is in Yunhua's hands, and Yunhua becomes a "full-time water collector".
But for Fang Xiao, he was liberated, and Yunhua took over.
Under Fang Xiao's guidance, Yunhua threw the bucket into the dry well, then lowered it about thirty meters, and finally heard the "ding-dong" sound of water.
Gulugulu waited for the bucket to be filled with water until there was no sound. Yunhua pulled the bucket up. Finally, the bucket was 70% full, about three or four liters of water. Yunhua poured it into the big bucket.
Three times in a row, Yun Hua finally took almost all the water from the dry well.
Leaning his ears against the well wall, Yunhua could vaguely hear the sound of water seeping.
"Okay, I've given you the methods and precautions for getting water. Now I'll be in trouble for you."
Fang Xiao warned again: "There are generally no powerful elves in this ghost town, and even if they can stand up to the sky, they are only professional level. Anyway, you have the dragon-headed gopher and the bronze bell. If you can beat them, fight them. If you can't beat them, run away. Make sure you
Safety is the most important thing.”
The strength of the dragon-headed gopher has been considered professional level by default in Fang Xiao's eyes.
Coupled with the bronze bell's flying ability and mental power, Yunhua is most likely not in danger. This is why Fang Xiao dared to leave Yunhua here alone.
"After getting the water, don't run around. I will come here to pick you up before dark."
After patting Yunhua on the shoulder, Fang Xiao got on the giant clay doll and left, leaving Yunhua alone to fetch water.
"What's this weird thing called?"
Yunhua threw the bucket aside and sighed distractedly.
However, if you are upset, training is the most important thing.
In order to ensure the progress of the training, Yunhua released the remaining two big and two small ones and urged them not to relax their training.
"Hey~~"(?w?)
Feeling the rich rock-attribute energy in the air and the ground-attribute energy under her feet, Yukira just felt like she was back in the harbor, and everything was so beautiful.
It wanted to have fun and play, but after taking a glance at the "Swamp Jumper" that had completed its evolution, the little guy instantly wilted and ran away for training obediently.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Swamp Jumper is already one step ahead for now. If you don’t catch up, your position will not be guaranteed!
"Markgu~"
The bog jumper used its fins and gills to feel the surrounding environment and frowned silently.
Because the water molecules in the air are simply ridiculously low.
If you use water attribute skills here, the power will probably not be half of what it was in its heyday, right?
With a gleam of wisdom flashing in his eyes, the Swamp Jumper found a corner and obediently practiced skills such as rounding, mirror reflection, and playing with mud.
On the other hand, Cradle Lily, although it has evolved, its personality has not actually changed much, so it is usually very clingy to Yunhua, and it always has to be coquettish with Yunhua for a while.
Cradle Lily's huge head kept rubbing in Yunhua's arms, making Yunhua itchy: "Okay, okay, I need to get water, you have to come and help me!"
Yunhua looked at his watch.
Hey guys, five minutes are coming.
As a last resort, Yunhua quickly brought Cradle Lily to the well, pointed to the deep shaft: "Sayuri, divert the water!"
"Nah~"
Yunhua gave an order, and Sayuri's water-diversion feature immediately activated.
In an instant, the water that had just gathered at the bottom of the well began to move instantly, as if it had received a mysterious summons, and actually began to escape the gravity of the planet and fly out of the deep well.
Under Sayuri's control, the water flowed neatly into the bucket, causing almost no waste.
"Nice! It worked."
Yunhua was overjoyed when he saw this.
The Taklimakan Desert is very dry, and it would be very difficult to divert water on the dunes. Therefore, the elves in the team who clearly have the ability to "storage water" cannot store water at all, and can only come to ghost towns dozens of kilometers away to collect water.
Get water.
But there is water in the deep well, so Sayuri's characteristics can still be activated, but all the water needs to be poured into the bucket, which is a bit more difficult to control.
Fortunately, after experiencing the nourishment and evolution of the "Fountain of Life", Sayuri's ability to control water has improved qualitatively, so the problem is not big.
"What a pity! Although it is more convenient to use a water diversion to get water, if there is no water in the well, we still have to wait."
Forgetting the bottomless well, Yunhua shook his head and sighed: "It would be great if Sayuri's water diversion properties could affect the groundwater."
If there is water in the well, it means there must be runoff underground.
The only troublesome part is that underground runoff is usually located very deep.
Sayuri can barely control the water flow through the well, because there is only air barrier.
But if you want to affect underground runoff, it will be more troublesome, because the blocking and weakening power of sand dunes and soil is much higher than that of air.
"What?"
Hearing this, Sayuri was not happy to hear it, and her face was filled with anger.
I haven’t even tried, how do you know I’m not good?
"Nah~"
Sayuri got angry, and the grass-attribute energy in her body suddenly swept out, turning into tiny roots that penetrated deep into the sand dunes.
But soon, Sayuri ran into trouble.
Because sand dunes are no better than soil, they have neither water nor nutrients, which makes it difficult for their rhizomes to extend out or expand downward.
So after only taking root to a depth of two to three meters, Sayuri couldn't take root anymore.
"Sayuri, don't try. The moisture in the air in this damn place is very thin, and the underground water is so deep that even professional-level elves can't handle it. Don't waste your efforts."
Yunhua shook his head.
"Nah~"
But Sayuri, although she was panting heavily, she did not give up.
Because it has sensed the existence of groundwater, even though it is far away, its characteristic attraction ability is extremely weak.
But the problem is that the attraction has not disappeared, and the groundwater is indeed slowly seeping upward, but at an appallingly slow rate.
Seeing Cradle Lily competing with him, Yunhua didn't bother to persuade him.
This guy is not an obedient master.
Soon, five minutes came again. Yunhua wanted to call Sayuri to do the same thing again, but the little guy ignored him at all.
As a last resort, Yunhua had no choice but to fetch water with a bucket.
But the strange thing is that this time the bottom of the well is empty.
