Chapter 1328 - Chapter 1328 Chapter 1328 Oasis
Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: Oasis Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: Oasis Huang Xiaolong and his companions, after clearing the obstacles, were unceasingly flying toward the oasis in the northernmost direction.
The intense heat of this Flame Realm was indeed too much for anyone to bear, causing even those with high cultivation levels to sweat profusely as if soaked in boiling water, with their body’s water content depleting like a river flowing eastward, evaporating ceaselessly.
Drinking water only made their thirst intensify.
Along the way, they also encountered groups of sandstorms, which they overpowered and pushed through. These strange natives, aside from contributing pale yellow Treasure Beads containing the souls of the earth to the treasure hunters, were hardly a threat anymore.
The expanse of the Flame Realm was considerably larger than Jupiter, and the treasure hunters had been flying from the extreme south to the extreme north, covering a vast distance.
Yet by that evening, they still had not reached their destination.
But the treasure hunters dared not linger any longer as the heat was simply intolerable, with their throats emitting smoke; they had to find that oasis as fast as possible or face certain death.
They hurried through the night!
By the afternoon of the second day, aside from Huang Xiaolong, the flight speed of the other treasure hunters had noticeably decreased. They looked dispirited and listless.
It seemed the terrifying heat had melted away their mental resolve.
Even the Third Crown Prince, the Ninth Princess, and Zehui, these three dragons, appeared weak and sickly.
On the morning of the third day, they all saw a mirage.
They were now delirious from the heat.
“This can’t go on,” Huang Xiaolong estimated with concern that it would take another day and night of flying to reach the oasis.
But given the current situation, it seemed most treasure hunters wouldn’t survive that long.
In the midst of these thoughts, a Demon Race Saint shrieked, “I can’t take it anymore! I just can’t stand it!” and with that, they plummeted to the ground, smoke billowing from their seven orifices, their body shrivelled, resembling a dried-up corpse with a truly ghastly death.
Died from the scorching heat.
Seeing this, many of the treasure hunters felt a deep sense of shared sorrow.
“Forget it, let’s try this~~” Huang Xiaolong waved his hand, and a surge of wood energy enveloped the treasure hunters.
The abundant greenery brought with it the scent of spring, surrounding the treasure hunters.
Instantly, their internal temperatures, which had been skyrocketing, began to somewhat subside, and they received a mild replenishment of their severely depleted water.
“It’s so comfortable~~ Brother-in-law, it really feels good~~” The Ninth Princess smiled, her eyebrows curved, looking at Huang Xiaolong with eyes filled with admiration. At that moment, she felt as if this man from Earth would never be defeated by anything.
“Good, it seems wood energy can alleviate the high temperatures to some extent, but its effectiveness isn’t very great. It’s merely enough to prolong everyone’s life and prevent immediate heat death,” Huang Xiaolong nodded in agreement, but did not dare slack off, as the wood energy’s effects were limited. He had to reach the oasis quickly if he wanted to resolve the situation completely and rest easy.
However, Huang Xiaolong also harbored some worries; if the oasis did not have the cooling effect claimed and everything was just a lie from the Immortal Emperor Shi Tian, then they would be truly doomed.
“Brace yourselves! Increase the flight speed!” Huang Xiaolong commanded in a deep voice.
The treasure hunters ignited their potential and followed the leader, Huang Xiaolong, flying rapidly.
Throughout the journey, Huang Xiaolong frequently used his wood energy to dispel the intense heat for the treasure hunters, barely managing to keep them going.
Finally, at noon the next day!
Ahead, a pleasing stretch of green emerged!
In this vast desert, the sudden appearance of greenery was like a miracle!
“We’re here! We have finally arrived! Wonderful!” The Ninth Princess was the first to cheer excitedly, getting carried away.
“Hahaha~~~” The Immortal Emperor Wan Jian also laughed heartily, “Finally, we’ve arrived! The Immortal Emperor Shi Tian said that once we reach the oasis, we will be rid of the Flame Realm’s intense heat, and within the oasis, there are boundless treasures~~ We’ve made it through at last!”
The treasure hunters were visibly overjoyed.
“Don’t count your chickens before they hatch,” Huang Xiaolong poured cold water on the elation.
“That’s right,” the Immortal Emperor Zi Yan immediately agreed. “From start to finish, the Immortal Emperor Shi Tian has been playing us for fools. Who knows which of his words are true and which are lies?”
“This time, it might not be a lie!” The Demon King Kui, with eyes shining brightly, said, “Ahead in the oasis, there is limitless treasure light flickering, that’s the glow of Immortal Artifacts! Look!”
Everyone looked on.
Indeed, within the oasis, various treasures shone like stars, scattered here and there, enchantingly beautiful.
Above the oasis, a rainbow-like stream of air had formed, a magnificent sight to behold, caused by the light of Immortal Artifacts shooting upwards toward the sky!
“There really are treasures hidden here! Brother-in-law, let’s hurry over!” the Third Crown Prince’s voice even wavered slightly.
The Long Clan had a deep affection for collecting treasures, especially glowing objects; it seemed the saying was not without merit.
At once, the Treasure Hunters sped up, flying toward the oasis.
Approaching the oasis, they saw it was quite extensive!
There were streams and jungles.
Within the oasis grew a very peculiar type of tree, each about thirty feet tall, looking very much like cacti, yet their leaves were shaped like banana fronds.
Even before entering the oasis, waves of fresh and chilling air greeted everyone, pervading the atmosphere.
This cool air contained a fragrant moisture.
As the Treasure Hunters were caressed by the breeze, it seemed as though every pore in their bodies was cheering and dancing.
The oppressive heat dissipated, replaced by an indescribable comfort.
The annoying Extreme Realm Heat Law appeared to be completely erased, without leaving any side effects.
“Hahaha–refreshing! This time, the Slaying Heaven Immortal Emperor hasn’t led us astray!” the Wan Sword Immortal laughed heartily, his face beaming, as he took a long breath of relief.
However, Huang Xiaolong’s brows furrowed slightly as he murmured, “Something feels a bit off–”
“Brother-in-law, what are you saying?” the Ninth Princess asked Huang Xiaolong while greedily inhaling the cool air.
“Oh, it’s nothing,” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
At this moment, they were extremely close to the oasis.
Many Treasure Hunters cried out in amazement.
Huang Xiaolong saw it too!
In the oasis, every tree–with leaves like banana fronds and shaped like hedgehogs–was covered, not with fruit, but with Immortal Artifacts!
Yes, the trees were not “decorated with” but “grown full of” Immortal Artifacts.
There were battle sabers, shields, celestial armor, swords, boots, necklaces…
All sorts of Immortal Artifacts.
It was truly a motley collection, with everything that could be imagined.
And the quantity was immense.
Each tree had at least ten Immortal Artifacts!
“Can it be? A tree that grows Immortal Artifacts? That’s a bit magical,” Huang Xiaolong was somewhat taken aback.
“They are all of extremely high-quality Immortal Artifacts!!!” both Wan Sword Immortal and Ziyang Immortal Emperors exclaimed at the same time.
As for discerning Immortal Artifacts, these Immortals were naturally much more professional than the members of the Demon Race or the Long Clan, and certainly more so than Huang Xiaolong.
Their eyes now blazed with fiery desire, even flickering with greed.
“All of them are extremely high-quality Immortal Artifacts! Unbelievable! There are easily more than ten thousand trees in this oasis, and each tree has at least ten superior Immortal Artifacts–this, this–” Ziyang Immortal Emperor’s eyes went wide.
“Huang Xiaolong, your contributions to successfully reaching the oasis are undeniable. However, given the vast number of Immortal Artifacts in the oasis, inexhaustible really, we’ll not stand on ceremony. Let’s follow the old rules. Pick the Immortal Artifacts freely, no need for courtesies, how about it? All in all, everyone will leave with a bounty!” Wan Sword Immortal’s breathing grew heavy with excitement.
“It doesn’t matter to me,” Huang Xiaolong shrugged. “I’m not a greedy person. Fine, let everyone take what they want. However, I must remind you all, be careful. Don’t get carried away.”
Having said that, the Treasure Hunters all flew into the oasis.
