219 PLUFWARTS ACADEMY OF SPELL (1/2)
The world warped around Mu Lingxi and her friends, placing them in a short state of disorientation. By the time the group recovered from their light-headedness, they were already standing in a completely different world.
They were now away from the greenery of the Enchanted Forest. The place before them is a great contrast from where they originally came from.
What lies ahead of them was an endless sea of yellow sand. It was an empty and vast desert!
”Aren't we going to Rhapsody Swamp? Why are we teleported to a desert instead??? Shouldn't we suppose to be teleported directly to our destination?”
Long Yue asked aloud but his question is more likely to be directed to Fan Lei since he is the one who boasted a wide knowledge among them.
”I'm not sure either but if the guardian tree teleported us here then the Rhapsody Swamp must be somewhere around us.”
”Are you kidding me??? A swamp within a desert land???? Is there even such a place where desert and swamp meet each other???”
This time it was Mu Lingxi who asked in bewilderment. Whenever she was about to say to herself that she was finally coming in terms of knowing this new world, this world will give her another set of inconceivable things.”
”MEOW”
[Why not??? As I've told you before, nothing is impossible. Even the word itself says ”I'm possible”. Besides, haven't you heard the story about how Romeo and Juliet fell in love with each other and remained together despite the odds being against their favor? It was just the same as what was happening now]
”How did Romeo and Juliet falling in love at each other be the same as our situation right now? The two does not have anything to do with it”
”MEOW”
[It has anything to do with it. Say, no matter how inconceivable it was, there is nothing wrong with a desert and a swamp to come and meet each other. That is what you called fate! In a strange world like this, the two might have come in contact with one another against all odds!]
”Err... I think you've got some lose wirings in your brain circuit, nowadays, Janus. You are now even starting to incorporate romance into even small details like this. Just how romantically frustrated have you been feeling these past few days????”
”MEOW”
[Shut up. You won't understand it even if it tries to explain it to you. For someone without even a single romantic cell in their bones, even if I put an effort and personal try explaining it to you for 143 days straight, you won't get it.]
While the master and cat duo was bickering on their mental link, Fan Lei, on the other hand, pondered for a moment before suggesting an idea.
”Let us just first walk around the area and see what we can do. Maybe we could find some clues on our way.”
And so the group went on like that.
It was not even ten minutes since they arrived at the desert-like place but they were already profusely sweating all over their body.
The sun was also cruelly toasting their melanin as it shines majestically up in the bright sky. There is nowhere to take shelter and all they can do is to endure the heat.
Even the sands beneath their feet were radiating heat that they can clearly feel it as they took each step.
Just a few more meters of walking and the group was already feeling exhausted to the point even lifting their feet was hard for them.
There was simply nothing that can be found within the arid desert aside from sand and another pile of yellow sand!
In less than two hours of walking, Mu Lingxi and the rest of her friends were already feeling a little light-headed due to dehydration. Their lips were also starting to crack from dryness.
In fact, even Janus was not exempted!
”MEOW”
[Something is amiss here…]
Janus warned his master when he noticed some anomaly.
Given his nature, putting aside walking for an entire day in a desert, his stamina should not have any abnormalities even if he were to walk for a few more days straight.
It was unthinkable for him to become dehydrated and exhausted just after a short two-hour journey.
Not to mention the fact that he was not even walking right now!
Since the place is relatively calmer and there is no sign of danger yet, Mu Lingxi chose to carry him first.
Thus, Janus was saved from walking at the smoldering hot desert since he was being carried by his master in his arms.
