Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 373 Oasis

Li Zhi's eyes swept across the faces of Luo Ming and others, carefully examining their expressions. From their anxious and earnest expressions, Li Zhi could feel that what these people said was true, and their concerns and requests for help came from the heart.

Li Zhi turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on Nangong Wen and Zhang Wenchu, a hint of inquiry flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Save them to the end, shall we go?"

Zhang Wenchu showed a carefree smile on his face and said easily: "If you say to leave, then let's leave. We all listen to you."

Nangong Wen tightened the spear in his hand and nodded vigorously. Without any extra words, he expressed his attitude with his actions.

"That's fine."

Li Zhi responded straightforwardly, then looked at Luo Ming and the others, his expression calm but revealing a reassuring power, and said, "Then take us there!"

When Luo Ming and others heard this, surprise instantly welled up on their faces and their excitement was beyond words.

At this critical moment, getting the approval of Li Zhi and others undoubtedly gave them a reassurance.

They were so anxious that they didn't even bother to thank Li Zhi and the others. They subconsciously stood up and prepared to set off immediately.

However, just as they were about to take a step forward, Li Zhi suddenly said, "Wait..."

Luo Ming's movements suddenly froze, and he seemed to be frozen. His heart sank suddenly, his face turned pale in an instant, and a terrible thought emerged in his mind involuntarily - could it be that Li Zhi had changed his mind and didn't want to save people anymore?

The thought made his heart hang in the air for a moment.

Before he could express his worries, he heard Li Zhi continue, "We have people behind us. Leave one person here to meet them, and we'll go first!"

After hearing this, Luo Ming's tense nerves relaxed a little, and he secretly thanked God that he was overthinking it.

He nodded quickly, then quickly selected one of his companions and told him repeatedly to wait here patiently to meet Yongguo's follow-up team.

After making all the arrangements, he took Li Zhi, Nangong Wen and Zhang Wenchu and hurried towards the direction where their companions were trapped by monsters.

 …

Luo Ming was afraid that any delay would make Li Zhi and others impatient, so he did not dare to delay at all. He walked quickly all the way.

As they moved forward quickly, a green scene slowly unfolded in front of Li Zhi and others from afar.

Nangong Wen had sharp eyes and saw the green at a glance. He couldn't help but blurt out: "Is that an oasis?"

Li Zhi, Zhang Wenchu and Nangong Wen could not help but be amazed. They had never imagined that such an oasis would exist in this vast and seemingly endless desert.

As expected, Luo Ming nodded solemnly. He quickened his pace and said, "Yes, that is an oasis. But for some reason, those monsters are extremely afraid of this oasis and dare not enter it. So they ambush near the oasis. As long as we step out of the oasis, we will be attacked by them immediately."

Li Zhi heard this and nodded slowly.

After Luo Ming said this, he finally understood why Luo Ming's companions were only besieged but not torn to pieces when facing those ferocious monsters. It must be that this oasis played a protective role.

Li Zhi turned his head slightly and glanced at Luo Ming.

Although he had some reservations about what Luo Ming said, he did not believe everything he said.

However, Li Zhi had fought with these monsters before and knew their strengths very well. He knew that these monsters could not do anything to the three of them, so he made up his mind to come and find out what was going on.

Now that he has come here, Li Zhi naturally will not return temporarily. Moreover, this oasis just happens to provide Li Zhi and his friends with water.

"Let's go, rush in at once!"

Li Zhi gave the order in a low voice, and before he finished speaking, he burst out with an extremely powerful aura, like a tiger emerging from the mountains, and rushed towards the oasis rapidly.

At the same time, Nangong Wen and Zhang Wenchu worked in perfect harmony, guarding Li Zhi closely on the left and right.

Seeing this, Luo Ming and others dared not stop for a moment and hurriedly followed Li Zhi and others closely, not daring to take even a step behind them.

The movement of Li Zhi and his men instantly alarmed the monsters that were ambushing around the oasis.

In an instant, scorpion-like monsters emerged from the sand like a tide.

The scene was so densely packed that it seemed endless and intimidating. These monsters bared their fangs and claws and attacked Li Zhi and his men frantically.

"Well done!"

Li Zhi's eyes were as sharp as torches. With a low shout, the black sword in his hand flew out of its sheath.

On the black sword, scarlet eyes flashed wildly, like demons from hell, with a terrifying and bloodthirsty look.

Li Zhi gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand and shook it vigorously. The black sword instantly turned into a black lightning and swept past a scorpion monster in front of him at lightning speed.

The next moment, the monster didn't even have a chance to react before it was cut in half by Li Zhi's sharp sword.

Dark green blood splashed out and fell on the sand.

However, Li Zhi's momentum did not slow down. He stepped hard and a deep pit was instantly created in the sand. With the reaction force, he rushed forward again like an arrow.

As Li Zhi continued to swing the black sword in his hand, the sword shadow flickered, and in front of him, no scorpion monster could withstand this fatal sword.

Beside Li Zhi, Zhang Wenchu and Nangong Wen were equally skilled and their attacks were fierce.

Zhang Wenchu waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand, and wind blades flew everywhere. Wherever it went, monsters screamed and fell to the ground.

Nangong Wen held a spear in his hand, with spear flowers flying. Every time he stabbed, he accurately hit the monster's vital point. He firmly guarded Li Zhi's side and did not give any monster a chance to get close.

The three of them cooperated seamlessly, like a sharp arrow, charging straight towards the group of monsters.

If you look down from the sky, you will find that Li Zhi and his two companions are like a dragon entering the sea, and they have forcibly carved out a vacuum zone among the group of monsters.

Although there were numerous monsters blocking Li Zhi and his men, they were unable to stop them at all.

Luo Ming and others who followed Li Zhi felt this particularly deeply.

You know, they didn't encounter so many monsters when they broke through before. Even though the number of monsters was relatively small at that time, they still paid a painful price, with many brothers killed and injured, before they finally broke through the siege.

But now, these monsters that once terrified them were like ants in front of Li Zhi and the other two, and they didn't even have the ability to stop them.

Just as Luo Ming was filled with shock and was somewhat dazed, he suddenly noticed that Li Zhi and the other two in front of him had stopped. He was startled and thought to himself: Could it be that the three of them encountered some extremely powerful monster that could stop them?

Luo Ming raised his head hastily and looked ahead, only to find that they had successfully stood in the oasis!

Luo Ming looked back subconsciously.

The monsters behind him seemed to have hidden themselves again, and the sand returned to dead silence.

If it weren't for the corpses of monsters lying all over the road and the bloody smell in the air, Luo Ming would almost think that all this was just a terrible nightmare.
