224 DESERTOF CORPSES (1/2)

”There's something really queer about this place, we should not drink the water from the oasis.”

Even if Fan Lei had not said such words, the crowd would have been too frightened to even remain around the oasis anymore. Much more, drink the water from it.

Death was not that frightening of a concept to them.

But to be burned down into yellow sand, such that every last trace of their existence would vanish… This was an extremely sinister way of dying that they could not even bear the thought of.

Unlike the rest of the crowd, Mu Lingxi and her cat did not back out of the oasis.

The group watched in bafflement as Su Yan (Mu Lingxi) together with his cat walked up to the heap of sand remaining of the fallen warlocks just a while ago and pinched a handful of it up.

Mu Lingxi leaned to it and examined the sand closely before placing it in front of her cat.

Janus sniffed the sand in Mu Lingxi's hand.

After they had finished examining the sand grains, Mu Lingxi began walking around the perimeter of the oasis with a tight-knit between her brows.

The cold air was emanating from the oasis before her. Standing beside it, Mu Lingxi could not feel the slightest hint of heat despite being in the midst of a sweltering desert.

At the same time, the lake was also extraordinarily clear. It looked so innocent that it did not seem to have anything to do with the flames that had killed the three warlocks earlier.

Following their friend's lead, Chan Gu and the others also approached the oasis

Despite scanning the perimeter of the oasis, Mu Lingxi and the rest of the group was still unable to find anything peculiar about it.

There were also no animals or the like within the oasis, so the matter could not really be attributed to anything else.

Seeing that they had reached an impasse, Mu Lingxi walked up to the oasis and scooped up the water, just like what the three warlocks had done earlier.

”Su Yan, be careful!”

Seeing that Su Yan (Mu Lingxi) had scooped up the water, everyone leaped in fright.

”It's fine!”

Mu Lingxi reassured them with a smile.

Looking at the clear water that she had scooped up in her both hands she was unable to find anything wrong with it.

Perplexed, she placed it next to her cat and have Janus sipped a mouthful of the water.

”Su Yan! What are you doing?!!!!”

When Long Yue saw what  Mu Lingxi did, he was totally flabbergasted that he almost wanted to tug at his hair.

You see it for yourself how those warlocks who drank the water were turned into a pile of sand after consuming the water from that same oasis.

Just what exactly did their friend was trying to do??

How big of a grudge does she have to her pet cat to do that???!!!

Could it be that she secretly hates her cat and decided to kill it once and for all???

But that is way true cruel!!!

To kill your own pet with your own hands. Long Yue can't imagine doing the same thing to her beloved Luna.

But before they could digest what was happening before them, Su Yan (Mu Lingxi) scooped another water from the oasis and this time, it was she who took a sipped on the water!!!

The faces of Long Yue and the rest of their friends turned pale in horror upon seeing the unbelievable sight before them.

The three warlocks had died shortly after drinking the water.

What were they supposed to do if something happened to Su Yan as well???

It is not that Mu Lingxi was acting brave testing the water by herself nor she wanted to kill Janus.

Due to certain reasons and his origin, Janus has confidence that just mere water from an oasis somewhere was not enough to poison him to death.

As such he instructed his master to scoop water for him so he can test it out to himself. It was only after hearing from her cat that the water is safe to drink that Mu LIngxi tried it to herself

Swallowing the water did alleviate her thirst. Squatting quietly on the spot, Mu Lingxi focused her attention intently on the internal state of her body for any changes.

But even after waiting for a while, nothing happened at all. It is just like what her cat said. The water is safe to drink.

But if it is not the water that turned the three warlocks into a pile of yellow sand, what could it be???
