Beautiful lady, I'm here! Duck starts with a backstroke, then a breaststroke, and finally a dog paddle combined with freestyle, heading towards the beautiful lady.
"Hmm? What sound is that?" The woman suddenly heard a noise behind her, frowned, and turned to look. She saw a black object rushing towards her at a speed of one hundred eighty yards per second.
"Ah, what kind of monster!" She screamed in shock, spun around, and leaped out of the water. Grabbing her clothes from the ground, she quickly wrapped them around herself. With a 'whoosh', a curved blade was drawn, and with a light step, she leaped onto the water's surface, aiming to stab Duck.
'Zing' Duck suddenly felt a sharp pain on its backside and immediately jumped out of the water while covering its rear, crying out with tears streaming down its face: "Ah, it hurts! Who poked my butt!"
When it looked up through its tear-filled eyes, its expression darkened as it pointed at the woman in front of it and shouted: "Gunaara, how could it be you?"
"Hmm? Where did this Duck come from? How dare you peek at me while I bathe!" Gunaara covered her neckline and stared at Duck with wide eyes, scrutinizing it for a long time before frowning: "What are you? How do you know my name?"
Duck covered its rear and gulped down water as it dog-paddled onto the shore. Its wet backpack dripped as it muttered in dissatisfaction: "What the heck? I got all excited thinking it was a beauty, but what a disappointment."
Upon hearing this, Gunaara glared at Duck with wide eyes and scolded: "You lewd Duck, I haven't dealt with you yet, and you dare to complain about me!"
"Hmph!" Duck spread its underwear out on a nearby rock to dry: "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in Nüwa Village?"
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Gunaara became smug and placed her hands on her hips with an air of righteousness: "I've run away from home! From now on, I will be a chivalrous hero, slaying demons and monsters!"
Duck tilted its head to look at her proud expression: "Wow, no way! You actually ran away from home? Does the clan leader know?"
"Shh!" Gunaara quickly put her finger to her lips: "Be quiet! If someone hears and tells my dad, he will definitely catch me and lock me up!"
Duck shook its head helplessly: "What kind of people are these? Why can't they just live their lives peacefully without running away from home? Whatever. Stinky Li Yunyang, Lian Cheng Xue, that's fine, but even my big sister has abandoned me. They're all heartless!"
"Wait, what did you just say?" Gunaara grabbed Duck's hand urgently and asked: "Do you know Li Yunyang and the others? Where is that Xiang Xueer who is with him now?"
"Ah? What do you want with my sister?" Duck frowned at Gunaara, rolling its unique little white eyes, its features scrunched up in a way that was almost comical.
Gunaara, with a face full of admiration and excitement, said, "I want to take her as my master and rescue the Common People like she does, to be a savior."
Duck pouted and looked at her face, sighing, "My sister wouldn't take you as a disciple. Besides, her impressive aura comes from deep within; how could you possibly learn that?"
Gunaara felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on her. Duck turned its back and started picking up the underwear and clothes on the ground. "The clothes are dry; I should be leaving now. I don't want to waste time here with you."
As it spoke, Duck shouldered its bag and turned to leave. Gunaara followed closely behind like a shadow, unable to shake her off. Frustrated, Duck turned around and pointed at her nose, shouting, "Hey! Don't follow me! I told you, I don't know where my sister is!"
"How could that be? Aren't you with them?" Gunaara replied incredulously. Her words struck a nerve with Duck, who began to cry again. "I was abandoned by them!"
"Ah?" Gunaara blinked in confusion, not realizing what she had said wrong that made Duck cry. In a panic, she tried to comfort and wipe away its tears. "Oh no, don't cry! I'm sure they didn't mean it. Once we find them, you'll just have to ask!"
"Really?" Duck wiped its nose with its hand and pouted while grabbing Gunaara's arm, rubbing against her repeatedly. "You're the only one who's nice to me!"
"So let's hurry up and get going!" Gunaara exclaimed. This was her first time leaving home and entering this unfamiliar world; she was filled with anticipation and eager to slay demons. Little did she know that the impending battle between humans and demons would bring about immense suffering.
"My passion feels like a fire burning through the entire desert!" If she were singing this song under normal circumstances, she would be full of energy. But here in the desert, it felt entirely different: lifeless.
Xiang Xueer swallowed hard; there was hardly any saliva left in her dry throat for singing. Forget it; better save her energy. By evening, everyone finally lay down. Xiang Xueer lazily asked, "Hey, Fatty, where are we?"
After calling out for a while, there was no sign of Fatty behind her; he had transformed back into the Luring Demon Pot form and had left them here to find a place to relax.
"Hey!" Ling Zhu shook his head while lying on the ground; his eyes were nearly rolling back in his head from exhaustion. The sun was about to set, and the temperature in the desert varied greatly between day and night. By midnight, it felt as if he had just emerged from an ice cellar.
The extreme temperature swings were unbearable; they huddled together for warmth until dawn broke. The newly risen sun quickly dried their mouths and parched their throats. Ling Zhu opened his eyes groggily as he began to wake up.
"Water, I want to drink water!" Xiang Xueer opened her mouth and squinted her eyes as she looked ahead, quickly getting up: "My God, an oasis!"
"Huh? What oasis?" Li Yunyang and Lian Cheng Xue heard her shout, and when they looked closely, they indeed saw it—a crescent-shaped oasis not far from them, less than a few dozen kilometers away.
It was a lush green area, presenting a stark contrast to the surrounding desert. Hopefully, it wasn't a mirage; if it were an illusion, there would be no hope at all.
"Really?" Fat Ancestor had somehow transformed back into human form from the Luring Demon Pot. Squinting his small triangular eyes, he confirmed, "Indeed! I knew I felt a resonance in this place."
This guy was always so unreliable, playing tricks. Regardless of that, the group hurriedly ran towards the oasis.
Xiang Xueer took a leap and gracefully flew to the front. Although it seemed far away, she still flew for nearly half an hour before finally reaching the oasis.
"Wow, there's a stream!" Lian Cheng Xue exclaimed excitedly and jumped into the water with Li Yunyang. Xiang Xueer dove in with Ling Zhu and gulped down several mouthfuls of water before finally sighing in comfort: "So refreshing! I almost died of thirst!"
After finally feeling relieved, Xiang Xueer looked around. This place was indeed magical; amidst the endless desert, there was such an oasis.
She turned to Fat Ancestor beside her: "So, can you feel the resonance now?"
Fat Ancestor furrowed his brows and concentrated for a while before nodding: "I can feel it, but it's still very weak. I don't know why."
"Oh? You can't even sense the direction?" Xiang Xueer asked in confusion. Then she glanced at Li Yunyang and Lian Cheng Xue standing nearby, and her expression darkened as she pointed at their green faces: "What happened to your faces?"
