Chapter 545 Desert Bandits
In the western desert,
the summer sun pours down like molten gold, baking the vast sea of sand. Every grain of sand seems to contain blazing energy, flickering with golden light. The sky is clear, and a few white clouds wander lazily, but they can't block the scorching sun that almost ignites the air.
On this land scorched by the sun, a caravan moves slowly, like a flowing painting, slowly unfolding in the arms of the desert. The camels in the team, one after another, step on the sand dunes steadily and powerfully, with heavy goods on their huge bodies.
With the pace of the camels, bursts of crisp and long camel bells echoed in the desert. This bell sound passed through the heat and silence and became the most beautiful melody in the desert. It not only guides the direction of the caravan, but also seems to tell the travelers' tenacity and indomitable spirit to the boundless desert.
The members of the caravan, with headscarves wrapped around their faces, only reveal their resolute eyes. They wear heavy clothes to resist the scorching sun and sandstorms, but even so, sweat keeps falling from their foreheads and dripping onto the sand under their feet, which is instantly absorbed, leaving only circles of tiny traces.
Behind the caravan, two camels are walking together slowly.
What is special is that these two camels are not carrying any goods, but two carefully arranged seats.
Li Si and Tai Ya are sitting on the seats, enjoying the ice-cold juice leisurely. Looking closely, there is a faint ice-blue mist around the two people's bodies.
While shielding the hot sun, it maintains a cool and frosty feeling.
Even the camels under the two people enjoy this rare coolness and chew the grass happily.
After leaving Felik Oasis, the caravan headed towards Turte Oasis after determining the direction.
Li Si was not in a hurry, and he and Tai Ya followed the caravan slowly.
Anyway, the two of them didn't have anything to worry about. They hadn't seen each other for a long time and now felt that it was good to spend more time together.
Li Si had received a lot of benefits from the legendary druid Felix, and he also remembered them in his heart.
The legendary potion [Breath of the Forest] was extremely precious, which could unconditionally improve Li Si's physical strength, and Taiya also got a lot of benefits from it.
This potion should be the creation of the legendary druid's ability in the fields of [Life] and [Nature]. At least Li Si had never known such a powerful potion before.
However, the strongest players in the previous life were only at the gold level, and it was almost impossible to get access to legendary magic potions.
The effects of the several legendary potions that Li Si knew were not as powerful as [Breath of the Forest].
This legendary druid was really willing to give.
Perhaps because of his identity as a world tree worshiper, Li Si could feel Felix's kindness to him.
Although the other party originally wanted to ask him to do something, didn't he succeed?
Even so, the other party took out such a precious potion, which shows that the other party really had no hostility.
In addition, Felix also gave him a special magic item.
[Felix's Oasis Seed]!
This oasis seed is not an alchemical item, but the essence of Felix's legendary domain power.
I don't know what method the other party used to condense and sublimate the power of creating an oasis into a seemingly ordinary emerald seed.
These three oasis seeds do not require Li Si to input any power into them, just bury them in the ground.
It can transform a large piece of land nearby into an oasis within a day.
This effect can be used even in the western desert, and there is no prerequisite for use.
Even if the environment nearby is quite harsh, the power in this oasis seed can last for a long time and can effectively resist the erosion of negative energy from the outside world.
Li Si was quite surprised when he got these three oasis seeds, and he also asked Felix specifically.
These three seeds can even take effect in the abyss plane and the other plane of the endless abyss, which completely represents a different meaning.
In particular, this effect of being able to resist the erosion of negative energy may be used to save lives at critical moments.
As long as you don't provoke any existence at the level of gods, the essence of the power of the top legendary druids is not something that anyone can break through at will.
In addition, because these two seeds condense the power of the legendary domain mastered by Felix, Li Si can also use these two seeds to deeply study and explore, and improve his mastery of the fields of [Nature] and [Life].
However, when leaving, Felix also smiled and told Li Si.
"If possible, when you have a chance, Li Si, please help me to express my request to Lord Yggdrasil, the world tree."
Looking at the sincerity on Felix's old face, Li Si nodded.
To be honest, it is because Li Si himself can't do such a thing that he admires Felix so much.
However, the world tree Yggdrasil will not be able to recover for at least a long time.
Although the world tree that is being eroded by the destructive power of the abyss is better than in the previous life because of Li Si's intervention, it is impossible to have extra power.
Moreover, Li Si did not think that the World Tree Yggdrasil would respond to Felix's request.
As the embodiment of the rules of the Gaia world, the World Tree must also abide by the operating rules of the Gaia world.
Since ancient times, the World Tree has disappeared from the material world and has never shown any miracles. It should be impossible to change the Western Desert.
If there is a chance in the future, I will help you according to the situation!
Li Si remembered it in his heart and said goodbye to Taiya.
Although he is a legendary druid, Li Si can also see that Felix is already in his twilight years and may die at any time.
But the Felix Oasis he left behind will be remembered by everyone along with his name.
After leaving Felix Oasis, Li Si traveled in the desert for a long time and finally recovered from the state of erosion by the power of space.
This is why he can now use magic to protect him and Taiya from the desert heat.
Moreover, as Li Si expected, the erosion of his body by the power of space was not completely bad.
At the moment when the erosion of the power of space ended, a new prompt appeared on Li Si's system panel.
——
[Your abnormal state [Erosion of the power of space] has disappeared! ]
[You have obtained a new expertise [Space Tempering]! ]
[Feat [Space Tempering]: Your body has been tempered by the power of space, becoming stronger, and at the same time, you have become more adept at mastering the power of space. Endurance attribute +5%, body toughness +10%, priority of space-related skills +3, affinity of space force greatly improved]——
Li Si raised his right hand finger and gently moved forward.
In the area where his hand passed, a dark crack suddenly appeared, flashing a deep and deep light.
Li Si then wiped it, and the space crack disappeared as if it had never appeared.
In Li Si's hands, this small space crack was like a toy, easy to control, and posed no threat to him at all.
It can only be said that the hard work of this month was not in vain, which made Li Si's affinity for the power of space much higher.
When encountering the same thing again, he would not be so easily disturbed by others' space spells. Even if the other party is a legendary wizard.
However, when facing a strong man like Teacher Stephens, it is useless.
The teacher must have many such specialties.
I don't know when I can get specialties from the teacher?
Li Si is very excited just thinking about it.
[Flame of Judgment] is the top legendary powerhouse on the Fanol Continent. The ability he possesses must be very powerful and extremely suitable for Li Si.
However, the teacher must have many specialties and skills. If you want to draw a powerful ability, you have to rely on luck.
Shaking his head, Li Si felt that he was thinking too much now.
It's not that Teacher Stephens had never sparred with Li Si before, but without exception, Li Si was beaten up. Not to mention triggering the limited challenge task, Li Si doubted whether he could make Teacher Stephens show blood.
I don't know if I can have this opportunity after breaking through the legend.
Li Si waved his fingers, and the space cracks emitting dangerous aura kept disappearing around his body. Li Si was also constantly familiar with the new abilities he had mastered.
Although he could use these space abilities before, he couldn't control them as easily as he did now.
For example, if Li Si wanted to use space teleportation to return to Port Danerluo from the Emerald Capital of the Forest of Elves, he would need to use directional space teleportation more than a dozen times relying on his own ability.
But now he only needs to use half the number of times.
Just as Li Si was holding [Felix's Oasis Seed] in one hand to comprehend the fields of [Nature] and [Life], and controlling the space cracks on the other hand to hone his control over the power of space, the miserable Duke came over again.
He has had a miserable life recently!
He was originally dragged to Felix Oasis by Li Si to hone his body in the quicksand vortex, and finally took a breath and left the oasis with the caravan.
He has been training all the way, especially since Li Si was able to use magic recently, Duke's situation has become even more dire.
Gravity magic and other spells that can enhance the effect of training were used by Li Si, and even Duke's ability to dodge magic was still needed.
He is just a child!
It's simply outrageous!
Even so, Duke persisted.
Li Si didn't expect Duke to have such a will, and he didn't even complain, so he taught Duke many powerful skills during the break.
This also made Duke very happy.
As for why Li Si could use magic, Duke was no longer curious.
He got used to it.
The hot wind passing by and the vague outline of the sand dunes in the distance should have been dead silent.
However, this tranquility was torn apart at a certain moment, and a thrilling scene suddenly appeared in front of the caravan.
On the sand dunes in front, the originally calm desert suddenly surged with a wave of uneasy ripples, and then a group of pale-faced people with fearful eyes fled in all directions. Their figures were elongated in the sun, looking both small and helpless.
These people's clothes were soaked with sweat, their steps staggered, and the breath of despair filled the air, as if even the wind was stagnant.
Following closely behind them was a group of desert bandits riding camels, dressed in tattered but majestic clothes, with war patterns painted on their faces and greed and cruelty flashing in their eyes.
The scimitar in his hand gleamed coldly in the sun, and every swing was accompanied by a shrill wail. The blood was like a demon being released, spraying on the hot sand and being swallowed up in an instant, leaving only shocking dark red marks.
Even those who knelt on the ground, clasped their hands together, and begged for mercy could not escape this cruel fate.
The bandits had no mercy at all, and their laughter was intertwined with the crying of the victims, forming a sad song in the desert. Every knife fell, trampling on the dignity of life, and every wail was a silent accusation of this desolate land.
The blood dyed the sand dunes red, and the air was filled with the smell of rust and fear. This desert seemed to have turned into a hell.
The whole caravan stopped, witnessing the tragedy in front of them, and was a little panicked.
Bryce appeared at the front of the caravan, frowning and staring at the situation in front, asking everyone in the caravan to take out their weapons and be on high alert.
Is this a desert bandit?
Why did he appear here?
You have to know that this is still the hinterland of the Western Desert, which is extremely desolate and barren. It is quite normal to not see a single person for thousands of miles.
If it is the relatively richer places around the Western Desert, it is fine, but the place where the caravan is now is not.
What are the desert bandits doing here? Robbery also needs a target, right?
Wanting to rob a caravan in the desert is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
These desert bandits prefer to appear in those large oases, or around oasis groups, where it is more prosperous and the success rate will be higher.
And looking at the people they are chasing, it seems that they are not dressed in the clothes of the caravan.
Bryce was alert and a little hesitant.
It is not a new thing for desert bandits to attack caravans in the Western Desert. If the other party is attacking a caravan, he may still help.
But it is obvious that the group of people in front of him has completely collapsed. There is no resistance, only knowledge, and it is of no use at all.
How can they escape the pursuit of those desert bandits riding camels?
If you intervene at this time, you will get into trouble.
He had sensed the presence of two gold-level professionals in the desert bandits, staring at him intently.
Trouble!
Bryce had a headache. Why was the road so uneasy?
There seemed to be more than a hundred people being hunted. They noticed Bryce's caravan and ran towards this side.
Just as Bryce was hesitating whether to go forward and negotiate to see if he could pay a certain price to get out, a cry came.
"You bastards!"
Immediately, he saw a fiery red figure flashing in front of him and rushing towards the desert bandits.
In an instant, countless figures of bandits were knocked into the air.
