But after walking for two to three hours, Xia Ping and the others finally saw a boundless lake after running for more than a hundred kilometers.
Immediately, fresh air and a cool breeze blew over. It was clear that this place was 20 to 30 degrees lower than other places. It was a place suitable for humans to live.
A dense forest grew beside the lake. Towering trees took root on the ground, and weeds grew everywhere. It was full of greenery and vitality.
"Great, we've finally arrived at this desert oasis."
"I thought we were dead for sure. Who would've thought we'd come back from the dead."
"I thought that bastard Xia Ping led us on the wrong path. Luckily, we didn't."
Seeing the lake appear in front of them, Jiang Yaru, Chu Rong, Nangong Wu, and Feng Hetang were all incomparably excited. After running for three hours, they were panting like cows and sweating profusely.
If it weren't for their powerful martial arts cultivation, they would've long fainted under the intense heat. After all, none of them were like a freak like Xia Ping, who was completely fine in this kind of environment. Not even a drop of sweat appeared on his body.
Xia Ping was also helpless. After all, his Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique was very powerful, but it wasn't perfect. Separated by such a long distance, there were still errors in his perception.
Originally, they thought it was only a few dozen kilometers. Who would've thought that it was more than a hundred kilometers. They desperately ran for three hours to reach this life oasis.
"I'm dying of thirst, I want to drink water!"
Feng Hetang cried out. He immediately wanted to jump into the lake and drink a large amount of water.
Jiang Yaru and the others also wanted to drink water, and even wanted to take a bath. They were sweating so much that their clothes were sticking together, making them uncomfortable all over.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a few dozen people appeared in the forest in front of them, stopping Feng Hetang in an instant. These people all had powerful blood and Qi. They all had the strength of a martial artist.
The strongest was at the third layer of the martial artist realm.
However, Xia Ping and the others had never seen these people before. They might be examinees from other continents.
"Who are you people?" Feng Hetang stared blankly at these examinees who suddenly appeared.
A tall man dressed in black stood out and stared at Xia Ping and the others with an arrogant expression. "We are candidates from Jizhou District's Henggang City. Which district are you from?"
The eyes of Jiang Yaru and the others flickered. Henggang City was the capital of the Jizhou region. It was equivalent to the Yangzhou region's Huajing City. In terms of economy, Henggang City was even stronger.
Because it is an industrial super city, there are many super factories built in the city. On Yanhuang Star, the size of this city is also very small, with a population of 1.3 billion.
They also knew that the examinees were from other continents, but they had already separated long ago. They didn't expect to bump into each other so soon.
"We're from Yangzhou District."
Feng Hetang said honestly.
"Yangzhou District? It's the continent that's ranked in the bottom three in terms of martial strength. It's said that there aren't many capable people from that continent. "
"According to the intelligence analysis, the strongest examinee from Yangzhou District is that Xu family's Xu Yuntian. The rest are all mediocre. There's nothing to say. They're just a bunch of trash."
"Just look at these people. There are actually only two martial artists. The other three are all martial artists at the ninth layer of the martial artist realm. In our Jizhou District, those without martial artists wouldn't even dare to sign up. These people have the face to apply for Yanhuang University. Aren't they afraid of death?"
"You can't say that. These girls look pretty good. Our Jizhou District is full of uncouth men. We've never seen such beautiful girls before."
"Yangzhou District's women are a bit better, but there aren't many men who are good."
A group of Jizhou examinees roared with laughter, sizing up Xia Ping and the others without the slightest scruple. Some even looked at Jiang Yaru, Chu Rong, and Nangong Wu lecherously, harboring malicious intentions.
Xia Ping and Feng Hetang's faces were very dark. They could clearly see that these people were full of hostility towards them. These examinees from Jizhou District weren't people who were easy to talk to.
"Scram!"
The tall black-clothed examinee sneered. "This oasis is our Jizhou District's territory. This lake is also our Jizhou District's. It's all been taken over by us. Without our permission, no one can go in."
"Of course, if you want to enter this oasis and come here to drink water, it's not impossible for you girls to accompany us to sleep."
He laughed wildly.
The other examinees from Jizhou District also laughed, looking at Xia Ping and the others mockingly.
"These bastards!"
Jiang Yaru was very angry, staring at these examinees from Jizhou District.
"This lake is the Wild Sand Ruins, not your Jizhou District's. Why are you occupying it?" Chu Rong was also very angry. This was probably the only oasis within a hundred miles.
If they were driven away by this group of examinees from Jizhou District, they would probably die of thirst. They wouldn't be able to find a place to survive in a short period of time.
Nangong Wu's face was also very gloomy.
"Why are we occupying it? Because of our strength! " The black-clothed examinee sneered again and again. "I said this is our territory, so it's our territory. If you dare to come in, you're courting death!"
"If you dare to act rashly, I'll take your lives."
The other examinees from Jizhou District also sneered at Xia Ping and the others. Although these girls were very beautiful, they also knew the severity of the situation. In this harsh environment, survival was the most important thing.
Who knew how many people this oasis could hold, how much food it could have, how much water it could obtain? The more people there were competing, the lower their chances of survival.
So, from the beginning, they eliminated all competitors, not allowing anyone to step into this place.
"You guys!" Feng Hetang was very angry, and immediately wanted to flip out.
But Xia Ping stopped him, and indifferently said to the group of examinees, "I advise you guys to leave this place as soon as possible. The water here can't be drunk, you'll die."
What?!
Jiang Yaru and the others all looked at Xia Ping. They knew that Xia Ping's words were definitely not without reason.
"People will die? You pretty boy only know how to bluff people. "
"The lake water here is very clear, the visibility is very high, and there are even fish swimming around. You say that drinking this water will kill people? May I ask how we'll die? It's simply ridiculous. "
"I reckon this brat thinks that by scaring us a few times, we'll let them into this oasis? He's crazy. "
"Hurry up and scram for me. Even if we die here, you guys can't come in."
The Jizhou examinees all looked at Xia Ping with contempt. They did not believe his words at all. They thought that Xia Ping was talking big to scare them. He was clearly talking big to scare them.
"Since that's the case, I wish you guys good luck."
