Chapter 872 -533 Felik Oasis_2
During this month when the Space Power is eroding his body, Lis cannot use Magic Power for magic research. So, he decides to take this opportunity to study Mattheus’s legacy.
When he returns to the Jianuo Mountain Range, he can also transform into a craftsman and go to the Dwarf Capital.
See if he can find a chance to sneak in.
With the Transformer’s Mask, it should still be possible, right?
As Lis was pondering the practicality of sneaking into the Holy Land of the Dwarf Kingdom, the entire caravan came to a stop.
“What’s going on?”
Duke also noticed the situation in the caravan and looked up at the sky, puzzled, since it was obviously not yet time to rest.
Glancing at Lis, Duke decided to go to the front of the caravan to inquire about the situation.
A moment later, Duke ran back to Lis’s side and said:
“Teacher, it seems that the caravan’s direction is a bit off.”
“There’s an oasis camp ahead. Uncle Blais and the others want the caravan to stop first so they can ask for directions.”
Lis nodded, not taking it too seriously.
After all, traveling in the desert almost has no fixed landmarks. The caravan can only rely on the position of the sun and stars to determine direction.
It’s normal to have a directional deviation as long as the general direction is right.
Oasis is the most common and also the most important landmark in the desert.
An oasis is a piece of fertile land in the vast desert, appearing where there is a constant source of freshwater all year round. Oases vary in size, like beautiful pearls on the sea of sand, embedded in the desert, shimmering with magical colors.
Oases can be naturally formed or shaped by human modifications of the terrain, but without exception, oases are the most sacred places in the hearts of desert travelers.
Whenever encountering an oasis, caravans crossing the desert would always visit for a while.
Partly to inquire about their current position and partly to replenish supplies like water.
Over time, many oases have formed fixed camps to provide services to passing caravans and travelers.
A moment later, Duke returned with new news.
“Teacher, the oasis ahead is Felik Oasis. Uncle Blais and the others plan to enter the oasis to rest and replenish.”
“Felik Oasis?”
Lis looked at Duke in front of him, confirming once again.
“Yes.”
Duke nodded repeatedly.
There are quite a few oasis locations in the desert, but Lis knew the name Felik Oasis.
Just like the caravan’s destination Turte Oasis, Felik Oasis is one of the large oases in the southern desert. This fertile land is home to tens of thousands of people, and a city-state has been established on this oasis.
But….
If Lis remembers correctly, the direction from Felik Oasis to Turte Oasis is quite far!
It’s off by a margin of thirty to forty degrees.
Lis felt a bit speechless, but he was not in a hurry.
Once the period of Space Power erosion is over and he can use Space Magic, he can leave the caravan and not travel this way.
After waiting for a while, the caravan began to move westward again.
Turning over four or five dunes, a stretch of green came into view.
In the depths of the boundless desert, sunlight poured down like molten gold, baking the sand grains into a scorching golden expanse that stretched to the horizon, seemingly endless.
On this horizon, interwoven with despair and thirst, emerged a miraculous heart-refreshing picture, like a divine gift, an oasis suddenly appearing in the embrace of the desert.
Like the most exquisite ink painting of nature, a vast lake quietly appeared amidst the desert. The water was crystal clear, shimmering under the sunlight with a jade-like luster. The lake was not only the source of life but also a sparkling pearl in the desert, attracting the eyes and hearts of weary travelers. The lake rippled gently, occasionally disturbed by a few waterbirds skimming the surface, leaving fine ripples and adding to the vitality.
Surrounding this large lake, lush green forests and dense bushes spread like a green ocean, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding desert. These green barriers not only provided habitats for many creatures but also, seemingly having magic, blocked the encroachment of drifting dunes, protecting this precious oasis from the harassment of wind and sand.
In the heart of the oasis, one could vaguely see a city surrounded by earthy yellow walls, quietly standing at one corner of the great lake, blending with the surrounding natural scenery, yet retaining its unique charm. The city walls, weathered by the sands of time, appeared ancient and dignified, like Guardians of time, bearing witness to the changes of this oasis.
At the sight of the oasis, many people in the caravan cheered.
After enduring days of monotonous and arduous travel in the desert, even Lis felt a bit of joy at this moment.
Looking at the oasis ahead, Lis couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.
Felik Oasis is quite special in the desert. It’s not a naturally formed oasis but the domain of a Legendary Druid.
Strictly speaking, it is an oasis created from scratch by the Legendary Druid, Hushu Sage Felik.
The Western Desert on the Fanor Continent was formed after an ancient battle, where the remnant forces kept the land perpetually barren.
Several Druids dedicated to maintaining the balance of Nature came here, hoping to restore the once fertile Earth.
Felik Oasis is one of the places where these Druids succeeded.
Although their success is quite small compared to the entirety of the Western Desert,
no one would ever mock the lifelong aspirations of these Druids.
Because the oases created by these Druids have become homes for many lives in the desert, sustaining countless people.
So, if anyone tries to destroy the oases, they wouldn’t need the Druids to intervene. Everyone related would defend it fiercely of their own accord.
It’s said that the creator of Felik Oasis, the Hushu Sage, still lives in the city within this oasis, guarding it.
Thinking of this, Lis remembered something.
Due to the ancient ruins beneath the desert, there are many special locations within the desert.
For example, the temple of Azus, the God of Fantasy and Knowledge.
Felik Oasis also has one very peculiar place.
Not far west from Felik Oasis, in the desert, there is a Quicksand Vortex named Jiawen Vortex.
Like the Eye of the Sea, the quicksand there is continuously devoured by the vortex, seemingly without end.
Some people once attempted to explore the bottom of this quicksand vortex, but none ever succeeded.
The edges were fine, but those who ventured deep into Jiawen Vortex never survived, so eventually, no one dared to try.
However, that doesn’t mean no one goes to the Jiawen Vortex.
Some discovered a unique power in that quicksand vortex. The sand grains in that area were quite hot, and just by training within the swirl of quicksand, the body’s strength would slowly increase; the effect was quite notable.
So a lot of people came here, just to train in the vortex.
After all, as long as one doesn’t go deep into the Jiawen Vortex, it’s safe.
The reason Lis knew about this is because he had been here in a past life.
For players, staying in the quicksand vortex for a certain amount of time grants a specialty called Quicksand Body Refinement, which boosts the Endurance Attribute and body strength to an extent.
This specialty was virtually free, and the attribute boost was considerable, so players who came to the Western Desert would almost always visit Felik Oasis for it.
Since he had come to Felik Oasis, he might as well take a trip to Jiawen Vortex.
No reason not to take the free specialty!
That was Lis’s thought, but when he arrived at Jiawen Vortex, he saw a familiar face.
A very surprising familiar face!
“Why is she here?”
