The missionary would confess like this every time he was briefly awake.
…………
He didn't know that his god was also going through a trial.
Xiao Huan then threw the stone into a new place.
That's a desert.
"As a god, you should receive more profound training." Xiao Huan said this, sounding like an adult.
In fact, Zhao Han knew that this guy was just imitating his teacher's speech.
…………
The stone body staggered forward under the hot sun, and his skin was eroded by the ruthless desert wind and sand, leaving behind a series of dry scars.
His eyes revealed exhaustion and despair, but in this desolate desert, he still persisted, looking for a glimmer of hope.
Both sisters had just sealed his power.
The only advantage he can have is that he will not die, and other things are almost the same as ordinary people.
Only by experiencing ordinary people can we understand ordinary people and know how to guide them.
The temperature in the desert reached its peak at noon, and heat waves invaded the stone body one after another.
His lips were chapped, his throat was on fire, and every step he took felt like he was walking on a hot iron plate.
Shitou's consciousness began to blur, and hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes. He saw oasis, clear springs, and those soldiers and friends who had passed away.
Just when the stone was about to fall, a group of desert survivors appeared in his sight.
Wearing shabby clothes and wearing sand-proof hoods on their faces, they were building a temporary camp under a shady sand dune.
They are digging the sand carefully, looking for moist sand, and carefully absorbing the moisture.
Can a place like this still exist?
Why struggle to survive in the desert instead of in places with abundant water?
The survivors noticed the stone, and their eyes revealed vigilance and curiosity.
A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader walked over, with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" The leader's voice was hoarse, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Shi Shi raised his head hard, his voice weak and hoarse: "My name is Shi Shi, I'm just passing by, I need help."
The team leader nodded, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes: "Okay, we will take you back, but you must tell us your story."
In the temporary camp, the survivors were busy collecting water sources and looking for food. Everyone was working hard to survive.
Water is obtained from deep within the sand, while food is provided by scorpions, poisonous snakes, bugs, and camel stings.
Even looking at the stone feels difficult.
Everyone can only get the minimum amount of food and water.
Minimize activities as much as possible, and do not excrete at will.
The stone was taken to a shady tent.
His body was gently placed on a simple bed.
A young woman walked over, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
She handed Shi Shi a bowl of squeezed murky water.
She touched Shi Shi's forehead affectionately with her hand.
"Drink slowly, don't be in a hurry, child." The woman's voice was soft, with a trace of care in her eyes.
A trace of gratitude flashed in Shi Shi's eyes.
It's like going back to a few months ago, how wonderful it was at that time, and my mother's arms.
He drank water slowly and his body began to recover gradually.
As night fell, the temperature in the desert dropped sharply, and a bonfire was lit in the camp. The survivors sat around the bonfire, with a hint of warmth in their eyes.
The sudden drop in temperature caused them to start getting water in time.
They try to get dew from stone surfaces, as well as tent surfaces.
This lets the stones know where their water mainly comes from.
The water in the sand is just a slight supplement.
He sat up. Although his body was still weak, his eyes began to light up.
These mortals can live strong.
"We were trapped here during an escape." The leader's voice echoed around the campfire, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"We escaped the oppression of the dynasty. Their labor was too heavy. We had to work 140 days a year. No one took care of the crops, the elderly, and the children."
"Although the desert is cruel, it is the fairest because it will also treat the tax collectors of the dynasty cruelly."
Shitou nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "I will help you, and we will find a way to survive in the desert together."
In the next few days, Shitou and the survivors worked hard to survive. They looked for water sources together, fought against the beasts in the desert, and found new ways to survive in the desert.
"It's best to be able to plant and avoid evaporation of water."
"There must be a suitable and stable underground water source."
"That's the oasis."
"But oases often only last a few years before being destroyed by storms and groundwater movement."
Shi Shi's injuries gradually recovered.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that his strength gradually returned.
He knew that his two sisters would not give up on him.
While searching for water, they encountered a group of bandits in the desert.
These robbers were actually riding camels, with greed and cruelty in their eyes.
Stone and the survivors quickly formed a defensive formation, with determination and bravery in their eyes.
"Why don't you let us go even though we are already living in the most difficult environment?" the leader shouted in pain.
"We must resist. No matter where we are, only by resisting can the cruel people not succeed." Stone's voice echoed in the hearts of everyone.
Their eyes became sharper, shining with unyielding light.
They don't want to run away like this anymore.
Compared to the harsh desert environment, these bandits seem to be easier to deal with.
At least in the eyes of these robbers, it is meat that can be dried for a year!
Don’t think there’s anything scary about cannibalism…
When it comes to survival, especially survival on hell difficulty, people's bottom line will quickly degrade.
Of course, after their living conditions are restored, they will forget this history.
Cannibalism is always something that has many hidden dangers and is too irritating to normal people's safety psychology.
Because this thing will cause the order to collapse, no one dares to sleep peacefully.
It's as scary as parents talking about eating their daughter.
After a fierce battle, the bandits were repulsed.
Stone and the survivors won.
There was a hint of joy and exhaustion in their eyes, and their hearts were full of hope.
The robber was quickly dried.
There is enough meat for six people, enough for them to live for two months.
"You can't eat people." Shitou said suddenly, "I have a feeling that if you eat people, you won't be able to return to normal."
However, the others did not argue with him.
They just parted ways silently.
Stones stand on the dunes at dawn in the desert.
His eyes crossed the desert and looked into the distance.
His heart was filled with complex emotions, and he knew that this desert trial had just begun, and more challenges were still waiting for him.
It's like no one listened to him just now.
…
Another day has arrived.
In the endless desert, the scorching sun is like a scorching furnace, baking every inch of the land to a boil.
Stone, this god and traveler with special abilities.
He chose to help the survivors find water.
He was preparing to stagger across this land of death. His skin was tanned and his lips were chapped, but there was still an unyielding light in his eyes.
Finally, during an unexpected exploration, he discovered that his ability appeared when he fainted.
His magical power can finally be turned into practical skills - communicating with the earth, guiding underground water veins, and even allowing plants to grow in the harshest environments.
Shitou stood on top of a sand dune. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Below is the temporary camp.
The leader was looking at him doubtfully, wondering what this little guy who had been rescued would do.
The stone is feeling the pulse of the desert, which is an ancient and mysterious language.
He stretched out his hand and touched the sand, and his ability began to resonate with the land.
"Please guide me, guardian of the desert." The voice of the stone echoed in the wind, and his soul made a request to the desert.
Suddenly, he felt a cool force surge from the soles of his feet.
An underground vein slowly rose under his guidance.
He opened his eyes and saw a clear spring gushing out from under the sand not far away, forming a small oasis.
The survivors gathered around in surprise, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The team leader was immediately shocked.
Then I felt terrible.
This is not the power that humans should have.
However, everyone else cheered, surrounding the clear spring, with long-lost smiles on their faces.
They all used the cleanest containers to hold clear springs.
"Stone, how did you do it?" the team leader asked seriously.
There was awe in his eyes.
Shitou smiled and shook his head: "This is a gift from the desert, and I am just its messenger."
Nourished by the oasis, the surrounding plants began to grow, and patches of green spread across the desert.
Soon Elaeagnus trees were planted, as well as some plants suitable for the desert environment.
At the same time, they also tried to find rare stone slabs to cover the spring to prevent the sun from reaching it.
Sunlight will make water disappear, this is common sense.
They spent a lot of effort, even covering the tent over the clear spring.
People have set the most stringent regulations.
No one is allowed to approach the clear spring easily. Someone must clean it regularly and perform worship services.
On this day, various crops began to be harvested.
The survivors began to pick fruits and catch fish and shrimps that emerged inexplicably from the clear spring pool.
Their living conditions have been greatly improved.
They didn't know where the fish came from. Maybe it was eggs brought by strong winds, or maybe it had been buried underground for a long time.
In short, these fish represent the abundance of food.
Over time, the oasis became more and more prosperous.
The special ability of the stone not only brings water, but also enriches the food resources in this desert. It guides the growth of plants and ensures the supply of food.
The survivors established a more prosperous camp in the oasis, where they planted crops and raised animals.
Children played in the oasis, and their laughter echoed in the desert, bringing life to this desolate place.
They finally lived a good life.
People are happy.
On this day, night fell and the temperature in the desert dropped sharply, but the oasis was filled with warmth.
The survivors gathered around the bonfire, celebrating the miracle of life and grateful for the gifts brought by the stone.
"We must have saved a god," someone said.
"Shitou, you are our hero." A young woman, her eyes were full of gratitude, she fell in love with Shitou.
But the stone just smiled.
He knew that his ability had changed the fate of this desert, but he also knew that this was just the beginning.
There are many more possibilities for his abilities.
…………
In the center of the oasis, a clear spring flows, nourishing the surrounding vegetation and bringing hope of life.
Soon the news spread around.
There are very few people in the desert, but not none.
Some people quietly come to live here.
Someone came over to see if it was true. Is there really someone who could summon an oasis?
That is definitely the highest god in the desert.
There are more secrets hidden deep in this desert, waiting to be revealed.
One morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds, the stone stood on the edge of the oasis.
His eyes were suddenly attracted by a strange light on the sand dunes in the distance.
He could feel the ancient and mysterious power contained in that light. It was the whisper of the desert, calling him to explore.
"There seems to be something there." Shitou's voice contained a hint of curiosity and vigilance.
Sam is the current team leader.
He is responsible for dividing the harvest equally so that everyone can survive.
Of course, this method is not very easy to use now.
Some people don't want to work anymore.
Because of the existence of the clear spring pool, everyone can easily exchange for food.
And those foods are really difficult to make.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It just so happens that they can gain a lot of wealth by selling the clear spring.
The team leader walked up to the stone, his eyes also full of doubts: "That may be an ancient ruins, we have never dared to explore in depth."
"This is very common in the desert. The desert has preserved the ancient tombs of many dynasties."
After deciding to explore the ruins, Shitou and Sam quickly organized an expedition team composed of the bravest warriors in the oasis.
They prepared the necessary supplies and weapons, and everyone knew that this would be a journey full of unknowns and dangers.
"We don't know what we will face, but I believe we can meet any challenge." Stone's voice was powerful.
There was also a light of determination in his eyes.
The expedition team passed through the oasis and headed towards the ruins.
The scorching sun scorched them mercilessly, and sandstorms struck from time to time, causing huge obstacles to their progress.
The stone uses its own ability to guide underground veins, providing water sources for the team and ensuring the safety of the expedition team.
During a sandstorm, Shitou stood at the front of the team. His body emitted a faint light, forming a protective shield to protect the team from the sand and dust.
He was quickly worshiped as a true god.
"Follow me, we can't get lost here." Shitou said seriously.
"I am not a god. Gods are not as low-level as me."
"In our eyes, you are much more real than those tall gods, you are very wise." One explorer said.
After several days of arduous trek, the expedition team finally reached the location of the ruins.
An ancient stone gate is looming in the wind and sand. The stone gate is covered with strange runes, as if it is a portal to another world.
"This is the ruins." There was a hint of awe in the voice of leader Sam, and his eyes lingered on the stone door.
Shitou stepped forward and touched the runes on the stone door with his hands. He could feel the power contained in the runes.
He closed his eyes and began to communicate with these runes, trying to unlock the secrets of the stone door.
