1297 Fish in the Lake (1/2)
The oasis itself was not that big. The lake was even smaller. Its area was equivalent to half a standard playground, give or take. However, the depth of the lake was somewhat unclear, and it would take some time for Sihwa to find out.
Zhang Zian scooped water from the lake, filtered it, and added disinfecting pills before capping the bottles. He then threw all unnecessary items out of the car. Even the roof rack was removed. Since there were no tents or mats, he might as well do away with it.
After the problem of water was solved, what remained was the fuel problem. There was no solution. He could merely drive forward regardless of what happened. With this in mind, he decided it was best to travel light and simple.
When the next desert traveler accidentally arrived at this oasis, they would find a pile of rubbish beside the palm trees by the lake. He wondered how that would feel.
Of course, an oasis in the desert was often a random occurrence, especially a small one like this. When the groundwater changed course, the spring would dry up. Or if a black storm raged over the area, this oasis would disappear forever.
Richard could no longer hold in his pee, but he did not want to do his business in the lake. He decided to do it under the car. He noticed that there were not only palm trees but also date trees by the lakeside. He urged Zhang Zian to pick the dates and feed him.
The other elfins ran into the shade to cool down. Although there were no blankets or mats, there were thick and dense palm leaves that made the environment cool and comfortable.
Sihwa emerged from the water and exclaimed excitedly, ”Look! See what I found at the bottom of the lake!”
If one could look past her unique thoughts, her appearance and body (upper body only) were top-notch. Perhaps her lower body was also top-notch in fish terms. She looked very beautiful when she broke through the water. In this pure and pollution-free lake, her appearance was reminiscent of a fairy.
”It can't be a curry stick…” Zhang Zian groaned. He had not stopped working since getting here. He looked at her lazily.

Zhang Zian was stunned, and the other elfins were as well.
In Sihwa's arms was a thick, long...fish.
When they first saw the fish, they thought it was a snake going in the wrong direction. This just went to show how long the fish was.
The big fish continually twisted and struggled in her arms, flicking its tail and trying to escape. It splashed water everywhere.
She laughed, hugged it, and kept it from getting away.
”Haha! Today, I am feeling very kind! Let me treat all of you to fish, free of charge!” she said gleefully as she blatantly betrayed her fish-mates.
As she finished speaking, she slammed her tail hard towards the shore and threw the fish onto the sand. It was still struggling and splashed the sand around with its strong and powerful tail. Soon, it was covered in sand.
Upon closer inspection, the fish was not struggling about mindlessly. It was trying its best to get back into the water—not to mention that it crawled forward at a fast pace, much faster than the average fish.
