In the dry, barren desert, the sun shines like fire on the ground.
Nan Baiwei and Laila are walking in this endless desert, looking for the spring of life that can awaken the seeds of the Tree of Life.
Nan Baiwei used a gauze scarf to cover herself from head to toe. They had been walking for several days, and the water bottle on her body had long dried up. She was really thirsty.
She weakly shouted to Leila who was refreshed in front of her: "How long do we have to go?"
Leila took out the map and looked at it, pointed to a small dot not far ahead, and said: "If you cross the desert in front, you should be able to see the spring of life. Hold on, we will be there soon."
Nan Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly, gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
As for why she suddenly changed from the elves to the desert, it all started a few days ago.
After they communicated with the clan leader, the clan leader took out a dried seed and said, "This is the seed of the tree of life."
"Since the tree of life turned into a seed, all our normal people have lost their power. Only the elves with abnormalities still have power, but the elves with abnormalities have all left us..."
The patriarch sighed and continued: "We can't leave the scope of this protective shield, but the tree of life needs water from the spring of life to sprout, and the spring of life is in the desert. It's a dead end..."
Nan Bai twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, this was really a dead end.
At the same time, the system's mechanical sound sounded.
【Ding! The side mission has been updated: Please go to the desert to find the spring of life, activate the tree of life, and solve the changes in the elves. 】
Seeing this, Nan Baiwei couldn't help but asked curiously: "Then why don't you ask people of other races for help?"
Hearing this, the patriarch vomited bitterly: "Why haven't you looked for it? They can't get close to the spring of life after they get there. Without the breath of the tree of life, the spring of life won't let them get close!"
Ah... Nan Bai scratched his head in embarrassment. No wonder the system issued a task to her.
"Then we are going to take the seeds of the tree of life to find the spring of life?" Nan Bai slightly changed the subject.
This time it was Leila who gave her the answer, "There is no need to bring it. Every elf born from the tree of life will carry the breath of the tree of life."
"Hey, hey, hey, then why don't you just say that you want the elves to find him?" Nan Bai said with a smile.
After the atmosphere was lively for a while, the clan leader stopped joking and said seriously: "This time I ask for your help, you will be paid, but I can only give it to you if you successfully get the spring of life. This is the rule."
"Rules?" Nan Bai asked slightly confused.
"Yes, rules, I can't say more about the rest." After the patriarch finished speaking, he bowed slightly and deeply to Nan Bai.
"As the leader of the Elf clan, I ask you to help us obtain the spring of life. I hope you can agree."
Seeing this, Nan Baiwei jumped away quickly, "You are too serious. I will help if I can, but my strength is low. I am afraid I won't be able to defeat the monsters on the journey..."
Hearing this, the patriarch took out a leaf, "This is the leaf left by the tree of life. It will help you avoid monsters on the road, and it can also preserve Laila's consciousness, but it cannot last long, and can only be maintained for half a month." "
The implication was that Nan Baiwei also knew it.
So, the two of them took the supplies and maps presented by the clan leader and found their way into the desert.
Now that they had finished drinking the water and finishing the food, they finally climbed over the sand dunes, but to their surprise, they still saw a desert.
Nan Baiwei asked with a confused expression: "No...didn't you say that you can find spring water after climbing over the sand dunes? Why is it still a desert?"
Leila frowned and looked at the map. After looking at it for a long time, he noticed the time marked in the lower left corner of the map. Hundreds of years had passed since then.
He shrugged helplessly, "This map is too old. The terrain has been changed by the wind and sand for a long time, but the approximate location should remain the same. Let's look for it nearby."
Nan Baiwei nodded helplessly. As of now, this is all she can do. The characteristics of the flower-growing country are: even if she comes, if she doesn't find the spring water, she will suffer so much in vain.
Several people searched for the spring separately. After a day of searching, Nan Baiwei finally found a cave half covered by sand.
She carefully walked into the cave and found that there was a pool of green spring water hidden deep in the cave.
Nan Bai was slightly excited and tried to get closer to the spring, but she couldn't get in. There seemed to be something invisible blocking her approach.
But this only made her more convinced that this was really the legendary spring of life.
Nan Bai ran out of the cave with joy, took out fireworks from his bag and put them in the sky. This was originally a prop prepared by the clan leader for fear that they would get lost, but now it is very suitable to use it here.
Leila saw the fireworks on the other side and thought something had happened to Nan Baiwei, so she quickly ran in the direction of the fireworks.
Nan Baiwei was looking around at this time. When she saw Laila's figure, she jumped up and down and shouted: "I found the spring of life."
The two are now very far apart, but Laila's sensitive hearing still heard Nan Baiwei's words, and he was a little excited. Finding the spring of life meant that he could finally get rid of his abnormal state!
The two quickly met and returned to the cave.
Leila looked at the clear spring water in front of her, took out the instrument and cautiously approached the spring water.
He passed through the invisible shield without any hindrance and came to the spring.
Leila quickly put the instrument into the spring water. When it was full, she sealed the instrument and put it carefully into the package.
This package is a piece of space equipment, one square meter in size, which was specially given to them by the clan leader.
After putting it away, Leila bowed to the spring again. In their understanding, the spring of life has its own consciousness like the tree of life.
It would only allow them to get close to it if it was willing to take away the spring water for them, so Leila also respected the spring of life very much.
Nan Baiwei stood outside and waited. When Rai pulled out, a handful of spring water was suspended in front of the two of them.
Leila took out the kettle with a normal expression. The water flew directly into the opened kettle, and then he handed the kettle to Nan Baiwei.
"Drink, this is the water of life given to us."
"Huh? You're welcome then." Nan Baiwei took it with one hand, drank a sip of water carefully, held the water in his mouth for a while before swallowing it.
The journey back is still long, so drinking all the water at once is not a wise choice.
After drinking the water, the two of them returned to the elves before the half-month deadline with full hope.
