Chapter 539 Felix Oasis

The scorching sun hangs high above the boundless blue sky, baking the endless desert hot. It seems that every inch of sand is trembling in the heat wave, releasing a scorching breath.

The sky was a bright blue with a whitish cast. No clouds dared to appear here. Only the sun dominated the sky, mercilessly pouring down golden light, adding a dazzling golden color to the desert.

In this vast and harsh sea of ​​sand, there is almost no sign of life, only a few withered and yellow shrubs occasionally rooted tenaciously in the sand. Although their branches and leaves have lost their former vitality, they still stand stubbornly, becoming a rare embellishment in this desolate land.

Deep in this desert where life seems to have disappeared, a caravan stretching for hundreds of meters is moving slowly, like a thin black line, outlining the trajectory of life on the golden sand curtain.

The camels in the caravan carried heavy goods, and their steps were steady and powerful. White air was emitted from their noses from time to time, which was particularly eye-catching in the hot air. They endured the scorching sun just like the men in the caravan. As the caravan moved forward, the camel bells rose and fell, clear and long, crossing the silent desert, becoming the most beautiful melody in this desolate world.

Things were a little different at the end of the caravan.

Li Si sat leisurely on the camel, swaying slowly at the end of the caravan, flipping through a thick and ancient book in his hand.

The specially made magic item made his body feel cool and dispelled the scorching heat in the desert.

Even the camel that Li Si was sitting on seemed quite comfortable, shaking its head and moving around. This might be the first time he had encountered such a relaxing and pleasant journey since he was bought by the caravan.

But Duke, who was standing behind Li Si, did not have such a leisurely mood.

At this moment, he was only wearing a pair of white pants, and his chest was covered with sweat mixed with sand, looking quite disheveled.

Duke followed Li Si obediently, his steps alternating between deep and shallow.

It has been several days since the sandworm swarm attacked the caravan. During these days, Duke did nothing but followed Li Si wholeheartedly and accepted Li Si's guidance.

Duke's profession is an assassin. He originally thought that Li Si would give him some combat experience and technical guidance, but he did not expect that after asking about the abilities he mastered, Li Si would directly teach him several advanced assassin skills.

Li Si even demonstrated it directly in front of him, which almost made Duke unable to react.

Could it be that Lord Li Si is a gold-level assassin?

But what about the bow and arrow that was used to kill the sandworms before? Isn’t that a hunter’s ability?

Duke was full of doubts, but he did not ask Li Si.

Instead of spending this much time, you might as well learn more from Li Si.

Duke began to train hard under Li Si's guidance, and his days were fulfilling and busy.

"Before you break through the Gold Rank, you will not be able to use the power of shadow to cover your tracks. At this time, the assassin's stealth skill does not really make you disappear."

"Shadows, wind, obstructions, blind spots."

"Except for some special circumstances, the combat of an assassin profession is all based on stealth, so you should make use of the surrounding environment as much as possible to conceal your actions."

"is teacher."

Duke listened to Li Si's voice coming from the front, felt the aches and pains coming from all parts of his body, and nodded hard.

Li Si didn't mind Duke calling him teacher.

Although it didn't take much effort, I did teach Duke for a few days after all.

During these few days with Bryce's caravan, in addition to instructing Duke, Li Si spent most of his time learning the casting knowledge he got from Mateus.

Mateus left behind a lot of extraordinary knowledge, but all of them were related to casting.

In fact, Mateus himself was also quite powerful, but apart from the reminder of the road to godhood, he did not leave any relevant knowledge.

It can be seen that for Matthäus, achievements and inheritance in casting are more important.

For example, the book "Mateus's Casting Notes" in Li Si's hand records all of Mateus's experience in the field of casting.

In addition to the casting of legendary weapons and equipment, there is even Mateus's exploration of the casting of semi-artifacts.

Yes, a semi-artifact!

In a sense, semi-artifacts have broken through the legendary level and possess some of the characteristics of divine power.

But few people study this aspect. Just like artifacts, semi-artifacts also need the blessing of divine power.

How could a high and mighty god waste his own power to create a semi-artifact that is of no use to him?

The vast majority of semi-artifacts that exist today were forged by demigods who had embarked on the path to godhood with their own strength.

But Mateus's situation is somewhat special. He is the son of the dwarf god of forging, which makes him qualified to study semi-artifacts.

There are also many related drawings and notes left in [Mateus's Casting Notes], which are also very valuable knowledge.

Li Si seemed to have difficulty understanding a lot of the knowledge in this notebook.

This was based on the fact that he had previously studied equipment casting for quite a long time, had forged legendary equipment himself, and possessed a fairly good reserve of knowledge.

If it were someone else, the notebook left by Mateus would be like a mysterious book that would be incomprehensible.

This is Li Si's current situation. Most of his mind is focused on the casting notes in his hand, and he also pays some attention to Duke.

Anyway, during the month when the power of space eroded his body, Li Si had no way to use his magic power to conduct magic research. He might as well take this opportunity to study more about Mateus's inheritance.

When you go back to the Ganor Mountains, you can become a craftsman and go to the Dwarf Capital.

See if you can find a chance to sneak in.

Anyway, since we have [Mask of the Transformer], it should still be possible, right?
Just when Li Si was pondering whether it was practical to sneak into the holy land of the Dwarf Kingdom, the entire caravan stopped.

"what happened?"

Duke also noticed the situation of the caravan. He looked up at the sky with some surprise. It was obviously not time to rest yet.

After looking at Li Si, Duke took the initiative to go to the front of the caravan to inquire about the situation.

After a while, Duke ran back and came to Li Si and said:
"Teacher, the caravan seems to be heading in a slightly different direction."

"There is an oasis camp ahead. Uncle Bryce and his men asked the caravan to stop first while they went to inquire about the location."

Li Si nodded, not caring too much.

After all, there are almost no fixed road signs when traveling in the desert, and the caravan can only rely on the position of the sun and stars to determine the direction.

It is normal to have deviations in direction, as long as the general direction is not wrong.

The oasis is the most common and important landmark in the desert.

Oases are fertile lands in the vast desert, appearing in places where there is a constant source of fresh water all year round. Oases vary in size, like beautiful pearls in the vast desert, inlaid in the desert, shining with magical colors. Oases are either naturally formed or formed by others' landform transformation, but without exception, oases are the most sacred places in the hearts of desert travelers.

Whenever a caravan encounters an oasis, they will visit it when traveling through the desert.

On the one hand, it is to inquire about the location of one's own existence, and on the other hand, it is to replenish supplies such as water.

Over time, many oases became fixed camps, providing services to passing caravans and travelers.

A moment later, Duke came back with new news.

"Teacher, the Felix Oasis is ahead. Uncle Bryce and his friends are going to enter the oasis to rest."

"Felix Oasis?"

Li Si looked at Duke in front of him and confirmed again.

"Yes."

Duke nodded repeatedly.

There are many oases in the desert, but Li Si still knows the name of Felix Oasis.

Like the caravan's destination, the Tourt Oasis, the Felik Oasis is one of the large oases in the southern desert. Tens of thousands of people live on this lush land, and a city-state has been established on this oasis.

but.
If Li Si remembered correctly, the directions of Felix Oasis and Turte Oasis were quite far apart!
The direction is about thirty or forty degrees off.

Li Si was speechless, but he was not in a hurry.

When the period of erosion by the power of space is over and he can use space magic, he can leave the caravan and no longer have to travel so fast.

After waiting for a while, the caravan started moving again, heading due west.

After turning around four or five sand dunes, what comes into view is a sea of ​​green.

Deep in the boundless desert, the sunlight poured down like molten gold, baking the sands hot, and a golden color extended to the horizon, seemingly endless.

On this horizon where despair and thirst are intertwined, a refreshing picture miraculously emerges, like an oasis gifted by God, abruptly and mysteriously embedded in the embrace of the desert.

As if it is the most exquisite ink painting of nature, a vast lake quietly appears in the desert. The lake water is clear and sparkling, and it shines like an emerald in the sun. This lake is not only the source of life, but also a bright pearl in the desert, attracting the eyes and hearts of tired travelers. The lake surface ripples gently, and occasionally a few water birds fly over the water, leaving a few circles of delicate ripples, adding a bit of agility.

Surrounding this large lake, emerald green forests and dense bushes spread slowly around like a green ocean, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding desert. These green barriers not only provide habitats for many creatures, but also seem to have magical powers to block the invasion of moving sand dunes, protecting this precious oasis from the harassment of wind and sand.

In the heart of the oasis, a city surrounded by khaki walls can be vaguely seen. It stands quietly in a corner of the lake, blending in with the surrounding natural landscape while retaining its unique charm. The walls have been baptized by wind and sand, and appear simple and solemn, as if they are the guardian of time, witnessing the changes of this oasis from ancient times to the present.

The moment they saw the oasis, many people in the caravan cheered.

After experiencing many days of boring and arduous journey in the desert, even Li Si felt a little happy at this moment.

Li Si looked at the oasis in front of him and felt a little emotional.

Felix Oasis is quite special in the desert. It is not a naturally formed oasis, but the territory of a legendary druid.

Strictly speaking, it was an oasis that was transformed from scratch by the legendary druid Felix the Oak Sage.

The western desert on the continent of Fanor was formed after a great war in ancient times, and the influence of the residual power has made this land always barren.

Some druids who specialize in maintaining the balance of nature came here specifically to restore the once fertile land.

Felix Oasis is one of the places that the druids successfully transformed.

Although the gap between the achievements of those druids and the entire Western Desert is still quite huge.

But no one would ever laugh at the vision that druids strive for their entire lives.

Because the oasis built by the druids with great effort has become the home of many lives in the desert, and countless people depend on it for their survival.

Therefore, if someone wants to destroy the oasis, the druids don't even need to take action, all the people involved will volunteer to fight them.

It is said that the creator of Felix Oasis, the Oak Sage, is still living in the city in the oasis, guarding the oasis.

Thinking of this, Li Si remembered something.

Because there are relics from ancient times under the desert, there are some special places in many places in the desert.

For example, the temple of [Azus, the God of Fantasy and Knowledge].

And there is also a very peculiar thing about Felix Oasis.

In the desert not far west of Felix Oasis, there is a quicksand vortex called Gavin's Vortex.

Just like the eye of the sea, the quicksand there is constantly being swallowed by the whirlpool like water flow, as if there is no end.

Some people have tried to explore the bottom of that quicksand vortex, but no one has ever succeeded.

It's okay at the edge, but no one who goes deep into the [Gavin Vortex] survived, and over time no one dared to try it.

But this does not mean that no one goes to [Gavin Vortex].

Some people have discovered that the quicksand vortex has a unique power. The temperature of the sand in the quicksand area is quite high, and as long as you stay in the quicksand vortex and exercise, your body strength will slowly increase. The effect is quite good.

So quite a lot of people come here just to exercise.

After all, as long as you don't go deep into the [Gavin Vortex], safety will not be a problem.

The reason why Li Si knew about this was because he had been here in his previous life.

For players, as long as they stay in the quicksand vortex for a certain period of time, they can obtain a specialty called [Quicksand Body Refining], which has a certain bonus to endurance attributes and physical strength.

This expertise is almost free, and the attribute bonus is also quite considerable, so players who come to the Western Desert will basically make a trip to Felix Oasis for this purpose.

Now that we are at Felix Oasis, we might as well go to Gavin's Vortex.

It would be a waste if you don’t take advantage of this free expertise!

Li Si thought so, but when he arrived at [Gavin Vortex], he saw an acquaintance.

An acquaintance that surprised him quite a bit!

"Why is she here?"
