In this strange and unknown environment, Gu Yuan tried hard to keep a good attitude. Sometimes a person's mentality determines the direction of development of things. The more negative, the more likely things will develop in a bad direction.

"Maybe we can find water tomorrow!"

Gu Yuan calmed down, murmured something softly, and entered a state of cultivation.

The second half of the night passed peacefully, and Gu Yuan successfully welcomed the sunshine.

After opening his eyes, Gu Yuan felt much better after a night of practice.

As soon as the sky brightened, Gu Yuan could already feel the scorching sun shining on his body, which made the fire attribute spiritual energy in his body more active.

"Hehe, even though it's extremely hot during the day, it's still better than at night. At least I can easily grasp the surrounding situation."

Gu Yuan clenched his fists and looked around. He found that there were many green cacti in the area where he was.

"Tsk tsk, my vision was poor at night, so I didn't realize there were so many cacti here. So, I must be coming from the right direction. There must be a water source nearby!"

Although he didn't know how far away this place was, Gu Yuan was certain that cacti also needed water to grow. Their roots underground needed to absorb water to sustain life. There was almost no rainfall in the desert, so the only source of water was the oasis!

Gu Yuan was a little excited. His luck was really good!

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan walked forward, carefully observing the distribution pattern of the cacti, while paying attention to the surrounding situation, because here, anything may be dangerous, and Gu Yuan did not dare to be careless.

After looking for a long time, Gu Yuan discovered that the distribution of cacti on his left was slightly denser than those in other directions.

"Does this mean this direction is closer to the water source?"

Gu Yuan touched his chin. This direction was exactly the opposite of the direction he came last night.

After thinking for a while, Gu Yuan raised his foot and walked towards his left.

"Hopefully, if we keep going forward from here, we'll find an oasis!"

Gu Yuan sighed and walked alone in the desert under the scorching sun, with only a shadow accompanying him.

Like an ascetic, Gu Yuan just kept walking forward. At the beginning, Gu Yuan would deliberately note down the day he had been here. Later, Gu Yuan simply gave up recording the time. Therefore, Gu Yuan had no concept of time at all.

Click—

He stabbed the Lingyuan heavy sword in his hand into the ground fiercely, then Gu Yuan sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Damn it, why...why can't I see the oasis?"

Gu Yuan couldn't help but swear. The Gu Yuan at this moment was completely different from the Gu Yuan some time ago.

At this moment, his upper body was naked, his skin was slightly dark red, and there were some cracked dead skin on his back, obviously burned by the desert sun.

His face looked weather-beaten at this moment, with dry and cracked corners of his mouth and messy hair draped over his shoulders, making him look quite embarrassed.

The spiritual energy turned into a knife, and he casually chopped the hair on his shoulders a few times, and Gu Yuan cut his hair into short hair.

Not caring about the scorching sand on the ground, Gu Yuan carefully took out the water from the space ring, drank two small sips and put it back.

Here, Gu Yuan had long lost the concept of time. From the time he left the cactus last time until now, Gu Yuan had no idea how long he had been walking. He just kept walking and walking. He stopped to rest when it got dark, and set off again when it got light.

During this journey, Gu Yuan encountered attacks from monsters no less than ten times, but fortunately he escaped every time. In the most dangerous time, Gu Yuan even used the space confinement function of the system to avoid the fatal attack and killed the opponent in a very miserable state.

However, Gu Yuan did not gain nothing during this period. First of all, his cultivation had successfully broken through to the fifth-level spiritual master, and with the help of this harsh environment, he had even vaguely touched the threshold of the sixth-level spiritual master.

In addition, Gu Yuan also found that the power of his red flame seemed to have increased a lot. The original blood-red color was now mixed with some golden color, and it looked like a furnace hanging in the sky.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Gu Yuan could vaguely guess that Chi Yan was like a fish in water in this place, so it was normal for him to have such a change.

"What a shame! I just haven't found an oasis yet. I'm running low on fresh water. If I use it sparingly, it'll last me half a month at most. If I can't find an oasis after half a month, I might become the first spiritual cultivator to die of thirst!"

Gu Yuan shook the dead skin off his lips and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In fact, it is not impossible to exchange fresh water in the system, but Gu Yuan does not want to do so. Although fresh water is extremely important to him at this time, after exchanging it for the Nether God Technique, Gu Yuan no longer has many resources, which are very limited. Moreover, most of them are some detoxification pills, recovery pills and the like. The spirit stones have long been used up.

In this desperate situation, the role of recovery pills and detoxification pills is no less than that of fresh water, or even more important than fresh water. After all, if you are injured or poisoned, you can't do without pills. So unless it is the last step, Gu Yuan will never exchange pills for fresh water even if he is beaten to death. Gu Yuan will only consider this issue when he is really about to die of thirst.

"Well, let's keep going forward. I don't believe we can't find the oasis."

Gu Yuan stood up, picked up the Lingyuan heavy sword on the ground, and continued to walk forward.

“Hehehe~”

Gu Yuan hummed as he walked. After this period of training, Gu Yuan's mentality has changed to a certain extent. Now he is very optimistic and does not seem to have many worries.

Just like that, Gu Yuan walked for another ten days. During this time, he still did not find the oasis. However, what he saw in front of him at this moment made him exclaim in surprise.

That's a camel!

That’s right, Gu Yuan saw the camel!

After living a lonely life for who knows how long, Gu Yuan couldn't help but lick his lips when he saw such a vibrant life. He was very excited and happy.

"This camel doesn't look like a wild camel. It has a collar on it, so it must have an owner!"

Gu Yuan saw the collar on the camel's nose and couldn't help laughing. What did this mean? It meant there must be someone nearby!

Since there are people here, then I am about to get out!

"Hahaha, God is really helping me!"
