Du Ze looked at the fox-eared girl opposite him. The beastman tribe is composed of many branches, such as bearmen, werewolves, snakemen, etc. The fox-eared girl in front of him was obviously a foxman.
The fox-eared girl held a knife in both hands, and stared at Du Ze in front of her with a panting look. She looked very wolfish, and her white robe was covered with blood. It was unclear whether it was her own or someone else's. The knife just now seemed to have consumed all her strength. The fox-eared girl tried hard to lift the knife from the sand, but in the end it was in vain. So the fox-eared girl threw away the knife and rushed up fiercely, as if she wanted to fight Du Ze to the death.
Du Ze watched the fox spirit take one step and then fall straight into the sand unconscious. She lay there motionless. If he didn't turn the fox-eared girl over, she would soon die of suffocation. Du Ze hesitated for a moment, then approached the fox spirit carefully. Along the way, Du Ze found that under the sand, there were corpses of humans and beasts. It seemed that a battle had taken place here not long ago. Du Ze turned the fox-eared girl over. The girl closed her eyes tightly, her expression full of pain, as if she couldn't get rid of her nightmare even in a coma.
A silly boy squatted beside the fox-eared girl, looking around blankly. He didn't see Xiu, but an endless sea of sand. He seemed to have lost his master again. Du Ze sorted out his thoughts. The moment he entered the space crack, Dragon Island seemed to be in a certain state. Maybe it was because of this that the space crack sent him here, and then he might have just encountered a melee between humans and beastmen?
Du Ze stood up and walked around, finding almost all the bodies. It was not a large-scale battle, but judging from the expressions and postures of the dead, it was an extremely fierce battle. One of the humans chopped off the head of the beastman, but another beastman with arrows all over his body had his heart torn open. Du Ze turned out the last body and confirmed that he and the fox-eared girl were the only living creatures here. When he looked back at the layers of corpses, at that moment Du Ze seemed to hear the sound of his heart stopping. He didn't understand this kind of desperate emotion, but seeing that they were determined to drag each other to hell even if they died, the strong will shocked him and he was completely speechless.
To survive, to believe - until death.
The strong wind swept the yellow sand and buried the dead gradually. Du Ze stood there for a while, and finally walked back to the fox-eared girl. The wind and sand here were so strong that in just a short while, the fox-eared girl was half buried in the sand. Du Ze dragged the fox-eared girl out of the sand. The girl's condition was not good. Even though Du Ze gave her some water, her face was still red, obviously she had a fever.
Du Ze didn't know how far away Xiu was from him, and he waited with a slim hope for Xiu to come. However, as the sun rose higher and higher, Du Ze couldn't stand it anymore. Not only was the wind and sand strong, but it was also very hot. Du Ze felt that if he didn't find an oasis, he would definitely be roasted alive when the sun reached its highest point.
The fox-eared girl was breathing rapidly. Du Ze stared at her for a while, and finally carried her on his back. Although the fox demon wanted to kill him as soon as they saw him, he couldn't just leave an unconscious girl in the desert. Du Ze was not worried about his own survival. Even if the environment was very bad, with Zero Point Recovery, he didn't have to worry about water and food. As long as there was no external factor like stepping into quicksand, he would definitely be able to survive until the cute master came to pick him up.
Du Ze hesitated, not knowing where to go, as he saw the same sand sea everywhere. He thought of the little phoenix above him. No matter how unreliable it was, this fat bird was still a divine beast. It should be able to find an oasis in the desert based on the water element, right?
The scorching sun was emitting light and heat with the momentum of burning everything. The air was twisted by the heat. On the yellow sand, the little phoenix was flying in front of him. Du Ze walked step by step with the fox-eared girl on his back. Every time he walked a distance, Du Ze had to stop to rest. He took off his wool vest and covered himself and the fox spirit's head. The sun kept shining on his head. Du Ze even vaguely smelled the smell of burning hair.
Since coming to the other world, he has been to the forest, climbed the snow-capped mountains, entered the ocean, and walked through the desert - this is simply richer than his previous 20 years of experience combined. A certain stupid and cute man looked at the scorching sun above his head with sorrow, and resigned himself to continue walking. As dusk approached, Du Ze stood on the sand dune. Opposite him, it was finally no longer a monotonous desert, but an eroded land. Strange black and red rocks stood on the eroded land, and the wind passed through the rocks, making strange howling sounds. Although there was still no water, it could at least allow them to rest. Du Ze crawled into a rock crevice, he put the fox spirit down, and felt like he had walked through hell.
The sun gradually sank into the sea of sand. Du Ze looked at the fox spirit beside him. The fox-eared girl was unconscious. She curled up on the ground, looking weak and pitiful. In fantasy YY novels, the fox people, cat people and rabbit people of the beast tribe are very popular because they greatly satisfy the fantasy of the otakus of cat ears and rabbit tails. As for the fox people, needless to say, they are definitely fox spirits! Du Ze always felt that he had stolen the plot of the cute master again, and synchronized the thinking of Yi Ye Zhi Qiu. After the cute master opened a harem in the dragon tribe, he must have been teleported here after leaving Dragon Island, and then met the fox-eared girl (the new harem), and started the beast tribe plot.
As the potential concubine of the cute master, the appearance of the fox spirit is impeccable. Even if she is in wolf clothes, it can't hide her charming and charming appearance. Du Ze helped the fox spirit up and fed her some water. When he put the girl down, he accidentally touched a furry object. A stupid cute stared at the big fiery red tail in his hand and subconsciously pinched it with his hand - it felt good.
"!"
Du Ze was almost pushed off the rock, he steadied himself and looked at the fox spirit. The fox-eared girl pushed Du Ze away and fell to the ground herself, she stared at Du Ze fiercely with her bright and charming big eyes, opened her mouth and seemed to say something angrily.
The earphones went off duty at dusk. Du Ze couldn't hear what the fox-eared girl was saying. Based on the excited look of the fox-eared girl, he thought she was venting her hatred for the human race. So Du Ze just watched the fox-eared girl scolding him expressionlessly. At the end of the scolding, the fox-eared girl fell to the ground weakly as if she was about to die. Du Ze calmly handed her some water and said, "Take a break, kid."
The fox-eared girl stared at the water Du Ze handed over and suddenly started crying. Her ears drooped and her tail curled up, as if she had suffered a great injustice and was crying very sadly. A certain socially challenged fool had no idea how to deal with this situation. He put the water down and ran away from the fox-eared girl as if he was running for his life.
The two moons rose slowly, and they intersected 4/5 of the way, and would soon overlap completely. Du Ze shivered as he sat in the gap. The desert was very cold at night, and he felt better after taking out all the clothes in the space ring and wrapping them around himself. Du Ze looked behind him, and saw that the fox-eared girl had fainted again, curled up in the shadows and motionless. Du Ze walked over and found that the water had been moved. The fox-eared girl sat on the stone with her eyes closed, and she hugged her tail, seeming to be very cold. Du Ze hesitated for a moment, and finally squeezed together with the fox-eared girl, covering the two of them with clothes to keep them warm.
Because of the environment, Du Ze woke up and slept, woke up and slept again. He didn't know how long it had been like this before he was poked awake by a fat bird again. Du Ze looked outside in a daze. The sky was dark at this time, and it didn't look like morning at all. The little phoenix kept chirping, as if trying to express something. Under the noise of the little phoenix, the fox-eared girl also opened her eyes. She saw that Du Ze beside her was stunned for a moment. When she saw the dark sky outside, panic flashed across her face.
"The black storm is coming...!"
Du Ze finally heard the voice of the fox spirit. Her voice was gentle, but the content was extremely terrifying. As soon as the fox-eared girl finished speaking, a black sand wall appeared in the distance. It moved quickly towards this side, getting closer and closer, and it was in front of him in an instant.
“Hoooooo——”
The strong wind shuttled through the rocks, making a terrifying devil-like sound, and the sand hit the rocks like bullets. Du Ze and the fox-eared girl huddled in the crack. They were in a very good position. There was a huge rock on the opposite side of the crack that blocked the sand and dust from the front. It was not a big deal if sand and dust blew in occasionally. The two stayed in the crevice silently, waiting for the storm to pass. The thick sand and dust covered the sky and the earth, and it was dark, making it impossible to see anything. Du Ze could only judge the time based on the battery level of his headphones. The headphones ran out of power and then came back to life. This repeated five times, but the storm outside still did not ease much, and they had very little water left, and their food had long been exhausted. I have been running all this time and have not had the chance to refill my space ring with food and water. In this weather, let alone going out to look for food and water, if I step out of the gap, I will be torn to pieces by the howling wind.
Du Ze had zero recovery, so he basically didn't drink any water. When Du Ze handed the last bit of water to the fox-eared girl, the fox-eared girl stared at Du Ze's expressionless face and said hoarsely: "...You drink it."
Du Ze shook his head and put the water bottle in the hands of the fox-eared girl. The fox-eared girl held the water bottle and was about to cry. She hated the human race. Those greedy and despicable human race would always capture and harm her people for their own selfish desires. She swore to kill all the human race she saw, but at this moment she didn't want the black-haired human race beside her to die, not at all.
This guy was different, he would give her all the food and water, and he would not be angry even though she had treated him like that before.
"My name is Nina...what's yours?"
Du Ze saw the girl's fox ears drooping softly, like a tamed fox. A certain silly, cute, cold, beautiful and aloof girl spoke his name stiffly for a long while: "Du Ze."
Nina smiled contentedly after hearing this, and then closed her eyes tiredly. She was very weak. Although she had been drinking water, she had not eaten for a long time, which seriously drained her strength. Du Ze was at a loss to watch over Nina. After several days of sharing hardships, he didn't want the fox spirit beside him to die like this.
Finally, on the morning of the seventh day, the sandstorm dissipated. Du Ze climbed down the rock with Nina on his back. Before he could set off, he heard a noise from behind. Du Ze looked back and saw many humans crawling out from the cracks in the rocks. They looked like a team, with messy clothes but all wearing yellow headscarves. Du Ze was a little hesitant. He was not sure if he could get water and food from the group. Soon Du Ze didn't have to worry about it. Someone on the other side found Du Ze carrying Nina and shouted for others to look over here. A big man with a black headscarf should be the leader of the team. He led a group of people towards Du Ze.
"Hurry... let's go." Nina said weakly in Du Ze's ear: "That's a bandit..."
Seeing Du Ze trying to run, the bandits rushed over. Du Ze could not outrun those people who had been wandering in the desert for a long time, and was quickly captured. Black Turban lifted Nina from Du Ze's back. When he saw Nina's appearance, a trace of surprise and greed flashed in his eyes.
"We're rich, brothers." The man in the black turban touched Nina lewdly: "This is the best - damn, I have never seen such a beautiful little hoof in my life."
The bandits around started to scream. Nina struggled weakly. Du Ze just raised his head when another bandit stepped on him and pushed him into the sand. The bandit stepped on Du Ze's head and asked the black turban: "Boss, how do we deal with this?"
The black turban glanced at Du Ze and said nonchalantly: "Kill him, and the things are yours."
The bandit looked at Du Ze at his feet excitedly. The clothes on this man looked very high-end and he couldn't let them be stained by blood. The bandit bent down and was about to take off Du Ze's clothes, but was almost hit by the angry little phoenix.
"Jiubi!"
The bandits around him burst into laughter. The bandit who was being laughed at angrily took the machete from his waist. As soon as he raised the machete towards the little phoenix, he felt the sky suddenly darken. The expressions of his companions around him froze in an instant. Their expressions changed from laughter to surprise, to disbelief, and finally they could only stare up in amazement.
There was wind coming from the sky, it was the wind driven by wings. The bandit raised his head and saw a huge dragon reflected in his eyes. It was flying above, and its shadow completely covered the area. On the back of the black dragon, a handsome young man with golden hair was looking down at him. The bandit looked into those sky-blue eyes and felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.
That's... the Dragon Rider?
