Chapter 39 Fairy in the Gobi Desert
The fairyland is indeed very large, but the flying boat is faster.
The flying boat has some of the characteristics of moonlight. Although it cannot reach the speed of light, its flying speed is second to none in the fairyland.
At the same time, in order to prevent the strong wind resistance from blowing the passengers away, a huge windshield will be covered once the flying boat is started to ensure the comfort of the passengers.
Before Mandola could feel how much time had passed, the flying boat had already stopped.
“Are we there yet?”
"We're here. The flaming desert is right under our feet."
The flying boat slowly descended and stopped when it was about 1 meter above the ground.
A staircase made of woven laurel branches leads down.
"Let's go and see how the Dark Night Fairy we found this time is doing."
Yue Heng got off the boat and Mandola followed closely behind.
After leaving the protective shield of the spacecraft, the heat wave that hit me in the face seemed to burn me.
The scorching sun burned every grain of sand. Even the air was distorted under such extreme high temperature. Everything within sight seemed to be blurred.
Every breath of air you breathe brings with it a wave of heat, and if you smell it for a long time you can even smell a smell of rust.
'Is it really possible to live in a place like this?'
Mandola couldn't help but wonder.
Although the night fairy they met before lived in the depths of the forest, at least it was well-watered and had lush branches and leaves.
Even though the light in the alien space is thin and resources are scarce, it is not as harsh as the environment here.
Ignoring Mandola's doubts, Yue Heng took her and strode in one direction.
Looking far in the direction Yue Heng was walking, you can see a mountain full of exposed rocks eroded by wind and sand.
The mountains are angular, with sharp peaks reaching straight into the sky, rugged and cold.
Just when Yue Heng thought that he had to walk a little further to reach his destination, he suddenly discovered a fairy of the night picking sparse vegetation on the roadside.
"Friends in the distance, can you wait for us for a moment?"
Yue Heng greeted the fairy of the dark night from afar.
I don’t know if it was because she really heard the call, but the fairy of the night actually stopped where she was.
Yue Heng took two steps at a time and came to the side of the dark night fairy.
After taking a closer look, I couldn't help but sigh that different environments do indeed create different customs and cultures.
Dark night fairies living in different places also have their own dressing styles.
For example, the night fairies living in the forest mostly wear clothes woven with linen and leaves, emphasizing lightness and convenience.
The fairy of the night who lives in the Gobi Desert is wrapped in a khaki robe, and a large wide-brimmed hat blocks the blowing sand.
"What can I do for you?"
"Hello, I am Yue Heng, the Moon Fairy, and this is my student, Mandola, the Mirror Fairy."
"We are here to ask for something. We want to meet your clan leader."
Hearing Yue Heng say that he had something to ask for, the Dark Night Fairy asked Yue Heng to follow him without any hesitation, and she would take him to see the patriarch.
Yue Heng and Mandola looked at each other in disbelief.
The night fairies here are completely different from the very vigilant night fairies in the forest. They seem to be very careless and they don't even confirm whether they have any malicious intentions in advance before taking them back to the camp.
So kind and defenseless, it's hard to imagine that this settlement has even survived.
"What are you standing there for? Aren't you leaving yet?"
Hearing that the Dark Night Fairy had begun to urge them, Yue Heng and Mandola no longer bothered about these strange things and hurriedly chased after her.
All fear comes from insufficient firepower.
The duo of him and Mandola may not be invincible in Wonderland, but they are at least one of the top ones in Wonderland.
He didn't think that a small settlement of night fairies could keep both of them.
Since they had confirmed that the threat ahead was not serious, they both relaxed and treated it as an outing.
After climbing a long mountain road with the Dark Night Fairy, a large crack that spanned the entire mountain range appeared in front of them.
"Be careful, we are going to go down this crack next."
After saying that, the Gobi Fairy took the lead and climbed down the crack first.
However, Yue Heng and Mandola don’t need to go through so much trouble because they can fly.
"Yelori magic, mirror staircase."
However, for convenience, Mandola directly used mirrors to build a spiral downward suspended staircase.
Then he shouted to the Gobi Fairy who had already climbed down about 10 meters: "I made a staircase, you can take it."
Looking at the stairs that suddenly appeared next to her, the Gobi Fairy didn't hesitate to push her feet against the rock wall and used the force to land on the stairs.
After stepping twice to make sure the stairs were solid, he turned to Mandola and praised her, "You're amazing! I can't do that."
"This crack is very deep. You actually built a staircase leading directly to the bottom. It must have taken a lot of magical power."
Mandola, who seldom accepts compliments from others, turned her back somewhat embarrassedly after being praised like this.
Then she turned back and raised her head, "Not much, I am the Mirror Fairy Mandola, the future great fairy."
"Okay, okay, the future fairy Mandola, let's go down quickly." Yue Heng teased.
After being teased by the respected teacher, Mandola felt extremely embarrassed. She wished she could find a crack to bury herself in, and ran down the stairs.
There was even a feeling of fleeing in panic.
"Hahahahahahaha, pulling someone's pigtails turns out to be so much fun."
Yue Heng walked down the stairs while laughing, and even wanted to grab some more of Mandola's braids to play with later.
This crack looks deep, and it is actually very deep when you walk on it.
And it became darker the further down you went, with only a few glowing fluorites embedded in the rock wall illuminating a small area.
After walking for about 10 minutes, we finally reached the bottom of the crack.
The bottom of the mountain is much brighter than other places, probably because there are a lot of fluorite inlaid on the walls on both sides.
The Gobi Fairy placed her hands on a huge stone carved with strange magic patterns.
After a while, the rock wall began to tremble violently, revealing a cave that was one person tall and three people wide.
"My two guests, please follow me. We will arrive after passing through this cave."
The Gobi Fairy picked up an oil lamp from the stone table at the entrance of the cave and walked in front to lead the way for the two.
He looked back from time to time every two steps, fearing that the two of them would get lost in this pitch-black environment.
I don’t know how long I walked, it was so long that Mandola felt exhausted both physically and mentally, as if she was trapped in a dark cage with no way out except for the bright light that was just a short distance away.
'Does the exit really exist?'
"Maybe it's the wrong way?"
Walking in the dark for a long time in a depressing and humid environment would make it hard not to feel depressed.
Just when Mandola began to question whether this road was correct, the fairy leading the way suddenly turned around.
"Welcome, both of you. We are here."
