Chapter 183: What kind of monster is that?
After Lu Feng checked it and confirmed that it was correct, he took out the plate containing the relief supplies and handed it back to Gu Li along with the island owner's order. "It contains the supplies distributed by the Spirit Prison. The owner of Laogu Island will distribute them on his behalf."
After Gu Li took it, he inserted the Island Lord's Order into the notch of the dish container and transferred the materials inside to the Island Lord's Order.
This island master's order turned out to be a gift, and it had some ingenious connection with the dish.
Only then did Lu Feng understand why the storage container for supplies was in this shape.
"You can take this back for business," Gu Li returned the empty plate to Lu Feng, and then sighed with some melancholy: "We are the only old guys left on the island who don't want to leave. These supplies are enough for us. Lived for a year and a half.”
On the way here, Lu Feng already knew from the boatman that these people who had lived on the island for generations and were unwilling to leave after the disaster on the island had already changed their original intentions.
Since it is disaster relief, how can we complete the mission if the disaster is still there?
"Master Gu Island, what happened on this island? Why is there a sudden drought?" Lu Feng asked.
Seeing that Lu Feng and the other four people were coming from a short distance away, Gu Li said, "If you don't mind, please come to our place to rest for a while, and wait for me to tell you more."
Gu Li was the lord of an island, and Lu Feng originally thought that the place where he lived would be luxurious, but unexpectedly it was as simple as being made up of several huge rocks.
"Shan Ye Dao Town, please make do with it," Gu Li said while bringing up several dishes they had cooked just now.
"You all are a little hungry after traveling a long way," Gu Li arranged for Lu Feng and the four of them to sit at the table, and then walked outside the house to distribute supplies to the residents on the island.
There are less than two hundred people left on Tudao, and there are only a lot more supplies. Gu Li distributes supplies one by one, as if giving out the last meal before death, which is inexplicably sad.
All the edible food on the island has dried up and withered. The only thing they could rely on for survival was the food they had stored earlier and the supplies distributed by the spiritual prison.
But these are limited. Sooner or later, there will be a day when they are finished, and the only thing that will not want to leave then is death.
Gu Li's home.
"Bah, bah, bah, what are these?" Jun Ziyi spat out the food he had just chewed in his mouth, showing his disgust and disgust.
Ruoshui held a piece of black and gray food between his hands and said with a smile: "This is a vegetable root, it's just a little rotten, but it's fine and can be eaten."
The living environment here was somewhat similar to her past, and Ruoshui couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"What? Roots of vegetables? Or are they rotten?" Jun Ziyi was a little unbearable. He looked at Tang Yuan, but found that the other party was eating big mouthfuls, as if he was eating delicious food.
Lu Feng couldn't help but smile when he saw Tang Yuan's change. He could not only eat delicious spiritual vegetables, but also tolerate unpalatable local vegetables. This was the way to practice.
Although Jun Ziyi tried to swallow, he couldn't swallow it anyway, so he took out a few pieces of pastry and ate it.
When Gu Li came back, Lu Feng and the others happened to have finished eating. Gu Li pulled the stool aside and didn't care that there was the leftover food on the table for Lu Feng and the four of them. He picked up a lot of it and started to devour it.
Seeing that Gu Li was unwilling to waste any food, Junziyi felt a little sour at the tip of his nose. Thinking about his past life at home, he felt as if his jar had been overturned.
While chewing the food, Gu Li said to Lu Feng and the others: "With the food supplies you sent, we people can alleviate the current predicament."
When she heard Gu Li's thanks, Jun Ziyi felt a little envious of Lu Feng. Being so heroic and saving people from fire and water has been her ambition since she was a child. However, her family has too many restrictions and does not allow her to do so. She's out.
"About half a year ago, the water on the island began to drain away. In just a few days, it turned into what it is now. No one is sure why. The elderly people on the island all thought it was a disaster." The Valley Calendar begins to tell the story of the drought on the island.
Lu Feng couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "Is all the water on the island gone?"
Gu Li clenched his fists and said angrily: "Yes, I once witnessed a creek gradually drying up in front of my eyes until the land hardened."
"Where does the water go?" Lu Feng asked thoughtfully.
Gu Li shook his head and said: "I thought it flowed underground, but we dug for several days but couldn't find any water source."
Tang Yuan touched his head and asked with confusion: "The water didn't flow underground? Then how could these lands become so dry?"
Jun Ziyi suddenly said: "Will any spiritual treasure from heaven and earth appear?"
Everyone looked at Jun Ziyi in confusion.
Jun Ziyi explained: "I heard from the elders in my family that there are many spiritual grasses and flowers that absorb a large amount of water spiritual energy around them when they grow, such as withered grass, dry sunflower, Jimiao bone tree, etc., these will absorb a lot of water aura when they grow. Absorb all the surrounding water, just like the scene on this island.”
Lu Feng shook his head and said: "These strange objects you mentioned generally grow in deserts, or the places where they exist will turn into deserts sooner or later, but their growth process is very slow. If they want to become this island In this case, it will take at least decades, or even longer.”
Seeing that Lu Feng denied her words, Jun Ziyi said dissatisfiedly: "It's neither this nor that. Then tell me how the water source here dried up all of a sudden. It must have been stolen by someone."
"You are right, the water source here does seem to have been stolen, but maybe it is not stolen by humans." Lu Feng was inspired by Jun Ziyi's words and expressed his speculation. Some special beasts also have the ability to dry up mountains and rivers. Ability.
"How is it possible? There are thousands of water sources, large and small, on the island. Who has the ability to steal them?" Gu Li was shocked.
Jun Ziyi agreed and agreed: "You can make it even more fantastical."
Without arguing with Jun Ziyi, Lu Feng took out a small jar of fruit wine. This was a natural fruit wine taken from Qingzhi Mountain. It had rich spiritual energy. Lu Feng looked at the fruit wine in his hand and couldn't help but think of Jiang Ruoyun, with a smile on his face. A bit melancholy.
"What is this? It smells so good," Jun Ziyi interrupted.
Lu Feng smiled faintly, walked out of the house with the fruit juice in his hands, and said to a few people around him: "I will pour the fruit wine later, and we will keep an eye on it together to see where it will flow."
Tang Yuan nodded, looked at Ruoshui, and said: "Ruoshui, just watch from the sidelines and don't spread the spiritual energy."
Ruoshui nodded obediently.
Lu Feng began to pour the fruit juice. Although it was a bit wasteful, he had no other option at the moment. He could not find a liquid that was more spiritual than the fruit juice.
When the fruit brew fell to the ground, only a little bit of pomace remained, and the liquid disappeared instantly.
Lu Feng and Tang Yuan looked attentively, their palms pressed tightly against the cracked earth.
Although the fruit wine disappeared very quickly, Lu Feng still caught a trace. Gu Li was right, it was indeed flowing underground, but it was too deep and could not be dug for days and nights.
Lu Feng and Tang Yuan had limited spiritual energy and could not continue to follow the flow of fruit wine, so they had no choice but to withdraw.
"Let's walk in that direction," Lu Feng said, pointing to the sunset that was about to dissipate. Just now, he vaguely sensed the direction where the fruit wine was flowing, which was exactly where the sunset faded and the sunset ended.
Tang Yuan and others followed Lu Feng to the bottom of a steep slope. Just then they sensed that the fruit wine had lost its spiritual energy and lost contact.
"Try again," Lu Feng took out the last jar of fruit wine and poured half of it onto the steep slope.
The fruit juice flowed down the dry cracks on the steep slope and dissipated in an instant.
"The speed is too fast and cannot be sensed," Tang Yuan said helplessly as he withdrew his spiritual energy.
Lu Feng glanced at the dry and cracked soil on the steep slope that looked like it was about to collapse, and asked Gu Li, who was following him, "Has anything strange happened here?"
Gu Li shook his head and said: "There used to be a small stream here. Because of the terrain, the water seemed to be flowing upstream. Other than that, there was nothing special or strange."
As Gu Li spoke, he suddenly remembered what happened not long ago and said, "By the way, just before the drought occurred, there seemed to be a vibration in the area, and the entire islanders on the island felt it."
Jun Ziyi glanced around and saw nothing but cracked land or cracked land. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Do you suspect that there are strange things like withered grass growing here?"
Lu Feng explained: "The flow of fruit wine has disappeared without a trace. After several searches, there are no clues. There must be something abnormal here."
At this moment, Ruoshui, who had been hiding his spiritual energy and following quietly, suddenly said: "Underneath... there seems to be a very rich source of water and spiritual energy."
Tang Yuan looked at Ruoshui seriously and interrupted: "Ruoshui, haven't you been hiding your spiritual energy? How can you still feel it?"
Ruoshui shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but I definitely felt it." Then he looked at Lu Feng and whispered softly, "Can I try the remaining fruit wine."
Lu Feng thoughtfully handed the remaining fruit juice to Ruoshui and said, "Be careful. If you feel any discomfort, withdraw immediately. Don't show off."
Ruoshui nodded, with a serious look on his face. He gently sprinkled the fruit juice on the dry and cracked ground with his fingers. The spiritual energy was released and flowed downwards along with the fruit juice.
"It seems that some kind of barrier has been passed through," Ruoshui closed her eyes to detect and said her feelings.
"boom…"
Suddenly, a loud noise came from very deep underground, and then the earth trembled.
Lu Feng saw Ruoshui's face turning a little pale, fearing that he would be in danger, so he hurriedly blocked his spiritual energy and pulled him back.
And the moment Ruoshui opened his eyes, the earth shook even more violently. A huge crack several meters wide appeared in front of everyone, and a loud and terrifying roar came from the depths of the crack.
"Get out of here quickly," Lu Feng pulled Ruoshui and shouted with everyone.
The ground that Lu Feng and others stepped on suddenly became like waves, shaking and trembling.
"Look, something is coming out," Tang Yuan looked back in panic and saw a strange beast's head protruding from the huge crack.
Lu Feng continued to evacuate without stopping. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at a strange beast emerging from the crack, and quickly recalled the memory of the beast in his mind.
The beast that came out of the crack was like a pangolin magnified hundreds of times. It was the size of an ordinary house. On its neck several meters long, there was a huge head like a chicken, and its whole body was covered in scales. Covered in armor, the four claws are as sharp as sharp blades. The most eye-catching thing is the beast's dark yellow tail, which exudes a cold light like a scorpion's tail.
"What kind of monster is that?" Jun Ziyi exclaimed.
Lu Feng's face looked extremely ugly, and he said bitterly: "It's a dry water beast, at least it has the strength of the Five Elements Realm."
"What!" Jun Ziyi stopped escaping in shock.
After Tang Yuan pushed, Jun Ziyi came back to his senses and asked Lu Feng in horror: "Don't dry water beasts live deep in the desert? How come they suddenly appear in such a place?"
Lu Feng shouted while running: "Now is not the time to think about this, first think about how to leave alive."
When Lu Feng said this again, the dry water beast that emerged from the crack had already discovered them and was rushing towards them very quickly.
After seeing the terrifying speed of the dry water beast, Tang Yuan said with determination in his eyes: "Fight it, you go first."
Seeing Tang Yuan stop, Lu Feng also stopped immediately and said resolutely: "It's useless, we will never be able to stop it with our strength."
After finishing speaking, Lu Feng glanced at Ruoshui and the others, and said to the panicked Gu Li beside him: "I will stop it with all my life, and trouble the Gu Island Master to take them away and send them off the island."
Hearing this, Ruoshui shook his head resolutely, with a look of determination on his face that he would fight to the death.
