Chapter 180: Here we are, the long-awaited city in the sky!

Looking at the gray sky, Lu Yuan felt like he had turned into a robot. All he had to do every day was ride a tricycle, rest, ride, and rest...

He spoke less and less.

The water source in the storage space is also becoming increasingly scarce.

I licked my dry lips and comforted myself, "Maybe I'll find it tomorrow."

[Maybe tomorrow has really come...] Miss Conch also doubted her life. She was under a lot of pressure and secretly wondered if she had remembered it wrong.

Lu Yuan's clothes were covered with a thick layer of salt frost, and the smell made people sad and brought tears to their eyes.

Never mind. No one cares anyway.

There is no water, no need to take a shower or change clothes.

On the contrary, the eternal flame grows very fast in constant suffering.

In the past two years, Lu Yuan's fire has reached the peak of level three, and the lower world has reached its limit. Further breakthroughs are necessary to climb to level four.

His attributes at this moment are:

【Shape：23.1】

[Gas: 23.5]

[God: 17.3]

23 attributes are probably the upper limit of the human species at level 3.

The old cat gradually fell silent. It knew that as the sunk costs got higher, the consequences of not finding the city in the sky would become more unacceptable.

So there is no good advice at the moment, just ride the bike until the day comes when you can no longer persist.

Finally on this day, a turning point...appeared!

"Grow for me!!"

At this moment, Lu Yuan transformed into the Tree of Life, standing on a high sand dune.

A thin vine quickly spread upward from the top of the Tree of Life, as if the sky was its end.

The vines continued to spread for more than a hundred meters and finally reached their limit.

Then, the emerald green leaves began to look around like eyes.

That is the "Explorer's Eye", looking out from high in the sky.

At this moment, Lu Yuan saw a group of strange things in the sky.

"Fuck, that, that, is it a camel?! That's a camel!!!"

Lu Yuan actually saw a group of camels, just ten kilometers away! The moment he saw these animals, his long-dried heart suddenly became active, as if a drizzle of rain had sprinkled into his heart, moistening the cracked land.

He quickly rode his tricycle and rushed over!

This group of camel-like creatures were hiding behind the sand dunes, leisurely avoiding the wind and sand, chewing their cud in their mouths.

Seeing Lu Yuan rushing over, the camels seemed a little frightened and dispersed their formation.

The big camel in the lead stood up from the sand dunes, and its "ah-ah" sound sounded like snoring.

Don't come over here!

But Lu Yuan didn't care and just charged forward.

It bared its big yellow teeth and suddenly spat out a mouthful of fishy saliva: "Pooh!"

"Damn, such a luxury and waste of water?!" Lu Yuan reacted quickly and instinctively wanted to collect the saliva. Then he suddenly realized it and a smile appeared on his face.

Maybe, I will reach the oasis soon!! Two years, almost three years, do you know how I survived? [Pangu camel, its physical features include two layers of hair, long and curved eyelashes, large and wide nostrils, thick and soft padded feet, strong and flexible legs and two fleshy humps. ]

[This camel has undergone a low-level mutation. Its physical fitness and water-finding skills are stronger than other camels.]

【Shape：9.2】

【Air: 11.2】

[God: 1.8]

[Extraordinary Level: 0]

"Camels that can find water? Mr. Luo, please take me to the oasis!" Lu Yuan rushed forward and walked around the herd of camels.

【Wow wow wow...camel?】 Miss Snakey cheered on the tricycle.

"Uh~uh~" The camel was not that afraid of people. It glared at Lu Yuan rudely and started to regurgitate the hay in its mouth.

"Look at the backs of these camels!" The old cat pointed at the herd of camels.

Some of them were actually carrying large cloth bags.

Lu Yuan walked forward and rummaged through these coarse cloth bags. He actually found a lot of dry food made from coarse flour, as well as several water bags.

There was still a small amount of water in the water bag! But it had been so long that the water had become smelly, which made him feel awkward. He didn't know whether to drink it or not.

"These camels actually have owners." The old cat said in amazement, "These cloth backpacks must have been made in the Ninth Era, otherwise they would have rotted and stank long ago."

"It's impossible for a camel in the Eighth Era to live so long... Does this mean there is a civilization here?"

"Hurry up and let it take us to the oasis!" The old cat studied it excitedly. "The workmanship of this cloth seems to be average. The material is cotton... It's also quite old."

"I want it too..." Lu Yuan complained.

But they were unreasonable. Not only did they spit at our mouths, they also kicked around with their hooves. They were truly a bunch of scoundrels.

"Got it!" Lu Yuan's eyes lit up and he distributed the dry food in his bag to them.

"If you eat something this dry, you will definitely feel thirsty."

Dry food is made up of starch from certain plants, as well as a small amount of minced meat and salt.

The camels opened their mouths wide and chewed non-stop, all eating happily.

The mutated camel leader even came over and wanted to eat Miss Conch's sea soul grass.

It's a pity that it can't eat anything.

As soon as I put my mouth close to it, the little vine shrank back with a "whoosh".

[Mr. Camel, this is my hand, you can’t eat it.]

The camel's round eyes widened. After trying several times, he became a little impatient and kicked the conch several meters away.

[Ouch! You are such an unreasonable scumbag! ]

Lu Yuan laughed heartily, playing with the wild animals and listening to the conch scolding the camel, feeling very happy.

He got a piece of yellow leaf from the metabolism of the Tree of Life and let the big camel chew it.

This guy was shouting “Ahhhh” and eating happily.

It may be because the leaves of the Tree of Life are very attractive to these herbivores, or it is possible that these guys have been domesticated by a certain civilization and are not too averse to contact with humans.

In just a few hours, Lu Yuan became friends with the camels, and they didn't object even if he rode on them.

But they still don't understand human language and just enjoy the food happily.

There was no other way, Lu Yuan could only add a lot of salt to the food. (He got a box of salt from Li Ze Wenming.) "I don't believe that you won't be thirsty after eating so much salt."

Camels are indeed very salt-loving creatures. They accept everything that is offered to them, stuffing handfuls of salt into their mouths, which is really frightening to watch.

After serving these gentlemen for two days, they finally felt thirsty! One of the little camels made a "uh uh uh" sound and stuck out its tongue.

The camel leader stood up from the desert and led the camel herd towards a certain direction.

Lu Yuan was delighted and quickly caught up on his tricycle.

We walked and stopped frequently, about 30 kilometers a day, and did this for five days in a row.

He actually saw cacti and very few weeds, and the ground was no longer sandy but muddy. However, the ground was all cracked, and a few sparse poplar trees were still standing.

After walking for another three days, they stepped onto a high loess slope. His explorer's eyes suddenly became hot and he saw large patches of green light.

Lu Yuan and his group were all shocked.

He saw a huge mountain in the shape of a Chinese character “皿” (a Chinese character in Chinese). Yes, it was in the shape of a Chinese character “皿” (a Chinese character in Chinese), with thick pillars and beams in the middle.

Both above and below are huge platforms, which at first glance may be 30 kilometers in size and cover an area of ​​1,000 square kilometers.

In the middle is a structure like a column and beam, but the diameter of this column and beam may be as much as one kilometer, and the height is about 1-2 kilometers.

The platform below has been submerged by thick yellow sand.

A very small stream of water flows down from above, forming a tall and small waterfall.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Around the waterfall, there is a small lake surrounded by wild grass and cacti.

This is... an oasis! It is also - a city in the sky! "The city in the sky really exists! My efforts have not been in vain!! " Lu Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably.

All the strength in my body disappeared at once, and even my thigh muscles began to cramp.

As if exhausted, he collapsed on the tricycle.

Then he woke the turtle.

The stones on the body of the Immortal Giant Turtle cracked one by one, and it woke up from its slumber.

"Water!! Master Turtle smells the scent of water! Swimming... Master wants to swim!"

On the 6212th day of the Ninth Era, Lu Yuan and his companions finally arrived at the long-desired city in the sky.

What is coming is...real opportunities and challenges! ...

…

There has never been a moment when Lu Yuan was so looking forward to water, green plants, and wild animals.

There has never been a moment when he saw an oasis and felt sincerely moved!

He ran quickly towards the water source, and then a red light flashed in his eyes.

There are dangers hidden in the water...

A crocodile-like creature was hiding in the lake, lurking there with a fierce look in its eyes.

He felt like crying, his whole body trembling, and he was even unwilling to easily pollute that relatively clean water source...

He thought that staining the water source with blood was a blasphemy! "Today is a festive day, it is not appropriate to kill."

Lu Yuan patted his chest and stopped his manic heart from rushing in.

Unexpectedly, almost all the friends agreed with Lu Yuan's point of view.

"Don't worry, just observe for a while."

The water resources in the Sky City are still rare.

The reason for the formation of this oasis is not abundant rainfall and groundwater, but the architectural structure of the sky city itself, which is suitable for receiving rainwater.

Even in the desert, it rains occasionally, but the desert suffers from severe soil erosion, and the fine sand cannot hold water at all.

But the City in the Sky is different. As a giant man-made city, it has basic structures such as cisterns, reservoirs, and sewers.

These water storage facilities are the real source of the oasis.

Lu Yuan followed the camels forward and saw one "Yadang" after another.

In fact, these yardangs are weathered man-made buildings, and nothing can stop the erosion of time.

The ruins of the Sky City are much older than those of the Meda civilization. The Meda civilization may have only decayed for a few hundred years, but the fall of the Sky City may have been thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Perhaps in tens of thousands of years, it will be weathered into a handful of yellow sand and become the dust of history.

"Ah~" the camels called out in front. They bypassed the small lake and headed towards a farther place.

Many parts of the city have collapsed.

As some load-bearing columns broke, large sections of the upper buildings collapsed, forming a small hill that can be walked up.

But for Lu Yuan, this is undoubtedly a real paradise! He is eager to pick up garbage, and there are green and golden lights everywhere.

There is garbage everywhere.

This feeling is so wonderful. The function of the Explorer's Eye can only be fully utilized here.

He picked up a shovel and dug deeply into the soil along the line of golden light, and dug out a small object that looked like a music box.

This music box is actually coated with a thin layer of gold, and there is not much rust inside.

After it was wound up, soothing music came out.

This is actually a music box with extraordinary power. The beautiful singing from an alien civilization conveys a strong joy. Even the surrounding air is as colorful as a rainbow.

【The traveler's steps stopped here. 】

【Laughter floats over with the wind.】

We took off the flower crowns from our heads.

【Then throw it into the sky...】

【Aloha hey ya, hey Aloha hey ya, hey Aloha hey ya, hey! 】

The song is indeed beautiful and moving, and it is played just right, as if the whole world is welcoming the arrival of the traveler.

Lu Yuan walked and dug as he went.

curious!

I’m really curious!

In addition to the music box, what other gold, platinum, metals of unknown use, and books were found? These are indeed books!

[I…I’ll translate!] The ready-made translator volunteered at this time.

The Sky City did not disappoint Lu Yuan's expectations over the years, and the supplies left behind were extremely rich.

In particular, these extraordinary technological creations that do not know the principles of science and technology give people a lot of reverie - a music box is so good, what about other things? How powerful is this civilization? Not long after, the camels found a small puddle in a corner of the upper layer.

There is a small amount of water, which accumulates in small puddles.

They drank deeply from the puddle, then left without looking back, each heading towards the desert.

"Hey, buddy, where are you going?" Lu Yuan shouted, "Leaving now?"

"This may be the only oasis in this super desert." The old cat's pupils reflected the scorching sun. "Don't just focus on treasure hunting. Think about what will happen?"

The area of ​​this desert may be comparable to half of the earth! It has caused great suffering to people.

"All animals are gathered in this area of ​​several hundred kilometers in radius... and there are obviously many extraordinary lives in the ruins."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly: "In other words, the survival pressure in this place is actually quite high, so the camels will leave after replenishing their water?"

"Yes." The old cat's eyes rolled around, "A good opportunity to recapture Palu!"
