His eyes lit up instantly, and a spark of hope ignited in his heart. Yun Yi exerted all his strength, running as fast as he could towards the oasis. His legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, but the desire to survive drove him forward. Finally, he reached the edge of the oasis, breathless.
But when Yun Yi stepped into it with great anticipation, he was shocked to realize that this so-called oasis was nothing but a mirage. The scene before him disappeared without a trace, replaced by the endless yellow sand.
Yun Yi's mood plummeted to the bottom, despair surged into his heart like a tide. He collapsed to the ground powerlessly, his eyes closed tightly, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
Just when Yun Yi was about to faint, the melodious sound of camel bells reached his ears.
Yun Yi forced himself to open his eyes and saw an old man in his seventies with a kind face riding a tall camel slowly towards him.
The old man came to Yun Yi, took some water and food from the camel's back and handed them to him, and said softly: "My child, if you want to get out of this desert, you must go find the legendary 'Crescent Moon Spring'..." After that, the old man rode the camel again and walked away.
Yun Yi gratefully accepted the water and food, thanked the old man, and continued on his journey. He didn't know how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, but he believed that as long as he persevered, he would be able to get out of the desert.
With unwavering faith and unwavering perseverance, Yun Yi trudged through the desert. During the day, he braved the scorching sun; at night, he was bathed in the cool moonlight. Along the way, he witnessed many wonders, but he never forgot the old man's words: find Crescent Lake.
One day, as the sun set and the sky stained orange-red, Yun Yi spotted a glimmer of silver in the distance. He quickened his pace, approaching it with astonishment. It was a spring, shaped like a crescent moon! The water was crystal clear, and surrounded by lush greenery, it looked like a dazzling pearl in the desert.
Yun Yi couldn't help but feel ecstatic. He knew that after going through so much hardship, he finally found an important opportunity to escape from this endless desert.
He couldn't wait to bend down, and drank the clear and sweet spring water eagerly, as if a long drought had finally brought rain, enjoying the magical power from nature that was continuously pouring into his body, as if every inch of his skin was cheering and glowing with new vitality.
After a short rest, Yun Yi, with a heart full of longing and expectation, resolutely set out on his journey again.
However, what Yun Yi did not expect was that after walking only a short distance, the familiar scene before him made him stunned with astonishment - it turned out that he had returned to Wuyou Valley without realizing it.
At this moment, Wu Ya was leaning leisurely against a thick tree trunk, his eyes closed, seemingly taking a leisurely nap.
"Master Valley Master, Yun Yi is back!" Yun Yi was overjoyed when he saw Wu Ya for the first time, his face full of excitement that could not be expressed in words.
But then he thought about it and realized that several long months had passed. Fearing that he might make mistakes, Yun Yi suddenly felt a little suspicious and asked, "Master Valley Master, how long have you been away this time?"
Wu Ya slowly opened his eyes upon hearing the voice, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. He glanced at Yun Yi leisurely, and then replied softly, "Not long, just a quarter of an hour."
