Heroes' Prison-Chapter 127 The Mysterious Dandelion Oasis
Huang Yi felt somewhat heavy-hearted; to reach Dragon City, he had to break through the encirclement of skeletons. But judging from the situation in the video, breaking through was nearly impossible. The skeletons filled every inch of space, leaving no path to tread, unless he could carve a bloody trail. And even if he managed to fight his way to the gates of Dragon City, no one would risk opening the gates for him.
This post had been one of the hottest on the forum in the past few days, with the number of replies exceeding one hundred million, drawing the attention of the entire world. Countless people wanted to know how the one million people in Dragon City would escape this catastrophe.
Huang Yi read through a few other posts, which were more or less the same, with some players calling for others to support Dragon City, but the responses were few and far between. Everyone enjoyed watching the excitement, but only a few were truly willing to make the long journey across the Desolate Sands to aid Dragon City.
Now, Huang Yi could only wait and see; the situation had gone beyond his control and required long-term consideration. Moreover, he couldn’t even leave Dandelion Oasis, let alone head for Dragon City.
Later, Huang Yi logged off to eat something and wasn’t until nightfall that he finally logged in again, returning to The Second World.
The serene Bright Moon shined on the oasis, countless white dandelions floating in the night sky like drifting souls. Below, the grassland was devoid of dandelions, creating a vacuum between heaven and earth! Those dandelions floated high in the air, like a shell encasing the oasis.
During the day, these dandelions had floated from the ground into the air, but now at night, not a single dandelion rose from the ground; all the dandelions were drifting in the high sky. The surrounding air was also very cold, much colder than the previous nights, exuding a touch of the eerie.
Huang Yi set to work repairing the temporary teleportation circle based on what he had seen in the posts during the day.
Half an hour later, the teleportation circle began to emit a faint blue light, a sign it was fixed!
Huang Yi tried it out; the teleportation circle could only send him to cities where he had already activated teleportation. Currently, he had activated teleportation for only two cities, one was Hedun City where the cat mother had sent him off, and the other was Thornbush City.
However, if he teleported back now, all the hard travel of these past days would have been in vain.
Huang Yi decided to make one last effort to try and unravel the secret of the oasis. If he really couldn’t solve it, he would teleport away.
Under the moonlight, countless dandelions danced. Huang Yi searched meticulously beneath the blanket of dandelions, sparing no place. His eyes were incredibly sharp, boosted by Racial Talents like "Dark Vision", Class Talents like "Eye of Supervision", and further enhanced by the Tears of Time. His vision had reached a top-level realm, making his search as precise as a scanner, not overlooking any minute changes.
After searching for two hours, he still stopped. The Dandelion Oasis was vast, and at this rate, the search was far too slow; he had covered less than one-tenth of the area despite the time elapsed.
Huang Yi looked at the countless dandelions, pondering carefully, a thick fog of the unseen heavily enshrouding him. The Dandelion Oasis was filled with oddities, yet he had not uncovered the secrets behind this strangeness.
Just then, one of the dandelions in the high sky began to drift down slowly. This dandelion was so unusual; it detached itself from the countless others and floated gently down, becoming the only dandelion in the previously empty space below.
Huang Yi spread out his palm, catching the falling dandelion and examining it closely.
The dandelion was still white, seemingly unremarkable, just an ordinary dandelion at a glance. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
But soon, Huang Yi witnessed a strange phenomenon—the dandelion began melting away slowly!
It was then he realized that the dandelion was actually an ice crystal! It was formed from ice, looking incredibly realistic externally, indistinguishable to the naked eye. If it were not for the warmth of his palm, the dandelion would not have melted in such cold temperatures.
Huang Yi suddenly looked up, staring into the billions of white dandelions in the sky, which were all formed from ice crystals! He was certain that during the day, these dandelions were normal and not made of ice.
Who had done this? Who possessed such a heavy Ice Attribute presence?
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he immediately took the Book of Heroes out of his storage ring, summoning the entrance to Heroes’ Prison and hurried inside.
Huang Yi quickly arrived in front of Slark’s cell and peered inside.
At that moment, Slark was holding the dandelion he had planted in his arms, his face grave; the dandelion was almost wilted, its stem drooping. A purple energy emanated from Slark, continuously flowing into the dandelion, as if he was using his own energy to save it.
"Slark, have you noticed that these dandelions seem different?" Huang Yi asked.
"Yes! These dandelions are filled with a strong essence of corruption, sustaining their growth and spreading their seeds without wilting. But once you dug it up, that essence of corruption was cut off, and now it is dying. I’m using my own energy to sustain it."
"Where does this essence of corruption come from?" Huang Yi asked, frowning.
"The Sand Thief King!"
