We're almost there.
Oly closed her eyes and sat on the ship that traveled on the sand. Beside her were her subordinates. Some of the Snake Dowager's fanatics focused their energy on maintaining this ship bestowed by God so that she could focus on sensing the person named Li Ke.
But what frustrated her was that even though she tried her best to find and sense Li Ke, the man kept shuttling through the desert. Sometimes, the places he went to were dangerous places! She followed him into a cliff filled with strange monsters, a huge circular valley that was constantly burning with flames, and a quicksand plain filled with strange giant insects. Hundreds of her followers had died in this desert, and the remaining few were the result of her best efforts to protect them.
Especially after she had passed through the valley full of flames and strange deadly space, their water supply had been running low. Until now, they hadn't been able to find another water source. Besides, due to the surrounding battles, most of the villages she found were empty and there was no way to replenish their food supply. Right now, they were walking on the edge of running out of food and ammunition.
But what comforted her was that none of her followers complained about the lack of food and water. But this made her even more heartbroken because the hundreds of followers she brought were like that. But now, so many of them had died. As a True One, it was natural for her to be heartbroken. After all, these were people who sincerely offered their faith and loyalty to the Snake Dowager and none of them 'stopped'.
But these sacrifices were worth it. As long as she could find the person named Li Ke and let him undergo a trial, she wouldn't regret it even if she died later. Because this was God's will and God's will was her life's goal. It was also something she had to do.
"Alright, let's take a break. Bring out the last bucket of water and distribute it to everyone."
Looking at the believers who had reached their limits but were still persevering, Oly made a decision. Even though they would be out of water after drinking this bucket of water, if they didn't drink water, they wouldn't be able to last until the next hour. After all, even though she was the strongest among them, she could still feel waves of dizziness.
Her subordinates didn't have any objections because they wouldn't question the Snake Dowager's decisions. Therefore, they wouldn't question any of the decisions made by the True One. They silently took out the buckets and drank the water in an orderly manner. Everyone had the same amount of water, including Oly. Her identity and physique didn't allow her to drink more water than the others. Therefore, after finishing the bottle of water that was similar to oral fluids, she sat down again and continued to use her senses to track Li Ke.
"I really miss the sea."
Even though there were no complaints, there were still people who voiced their opinions. Orloy didn't punish her because this was a form of motivation that the Snake Dowager wanted to see. Moreover, even she agreed with this point in her heart, so what right did she have to punish the other party? Moreover, the other party was right. They all missed the endless sea. The swaying decks and sails made them feel more comfortable than the endless sea of sand.
But she didn't continue this topic. Instead, after everyone had replenished their water and had some dry rations, she headed to the end of the basin.
"Let's continue."
But at this moment, Oly discovered something interesting. She saw a sand pile in the distance that kept rising. Judging from the sand pile they walked down half an hour ago, this place really looked like the riverbed of a river. But now, it was just a long canyon. But looking at this scene, she couldn't help but think that if this was really a river, it would be an ocean that appeared in the desert.
"It seems like I'm really dizzy."
She let out a self-deprecating laugh. But at the next moment, her expression changed because she sensed 'movement'.
"What's that sound? Seems like the sound of water? "
Her subordinates also began to discuss at this moment, and they all had a feeling of uneasiness. They shook their heads and looked around, and each of them asked about something. A wave of oppressive feeling made them panic, and because of this, they began to dance with joy.
"Silence!"
Oloy immediately smashed the statue in his hand onto the ground. However, the loud noise that could instantly wake the believers up and calm them down couldn't dispel their uneasiness. In fact, it couldn't even dispel the uneasiness in Oloy's heart. It could only remove the sound they made. But it was a pity that no one made any noise under this oppressive feeling.
Then, in the next moment, they all felt a strange feeling.
"It's coming!"
She looked in the direction where the danger was coming from and her eyes widened abruptly. She could see a vast line surging toward them at lightning speed. The front of the line was more like a mudslide made up of sand, rocks, and all sorts of debris. But in this situation, it was filled with an indescribable sense of strangeness. Besides, with Oly's eyesight, she also saw the majestic and extremely fast mud behind it!
And they were in the middle of this river channel!
"Prepare for the impact!"
Even though she was astonished at how there was so much water here, she still roared. After a few breaths, the viscous mud, rocks, and bones collided with the ship that could travel on land. Then, the ship that couldn't turn in time was pushed forward violently.
The powerful impact didn't give the old sailors any time to salvage the situation. Before they could adjust the hull of the ship, an even larger mudslide washed over them. On this land thousands of miles away from the sun disc, the enormous water flow that gushed out of the sun disc also carried tens of thousands of kilograms of weight, pushing this ship towards the distance at a high speed! Besides, Oly and the others on the ship couldn't stop all of this. They could only barely maintain the hull of the ship and prevent it from capsizing under the impact of the surging mud or crashing into huge rocks.
Otherwise, by then, regardless of whether this Ship of God Bestow existed or not, they would definitely be dead. And because this ship was really too sturdy, it became a scenery in the desert as they traveled at high speed.
"Mom! There's a ship! "
A young girl tugged at her mother who was working hard, wanting her to take a look at that strange thing. But when her mother raised her head, she stroked her head and comforted the child with a smile.
"You want to rest, right? Just wait for a while. You're a little dizzy from the sun, silly child. How can there be a ship in the desert …"
However, the moment she raised her head, a huge three-masted ship with countless tentacles extended out, wanting to stop, swept past her at a speed of 80 km/h. Her last word was painted with a dull color.
"Where …?"
Then, before the mother of an eight-year-old child who appeared to be in her forties could react, she saw the enormous stream of water with endless mud that she had never dared to imagine before.
