A few days later, Li Luo and Block finally arrived at the edge of Oasis City, just as the map indicated.
For a while now, Li Luo had been staring intently ahead, as if she had seen something utterly shocking.
It wasn't until they drew closer that Mo Ling understood why she was so surprised.
It was a lake—a deep, azure lake that appeared abruptly amidst the sand dunes.
This was no mere puddle. Mo Ling's vision extended downward, but he couldn't even see the bottom of the lake.
The lake water seeped into the surrounding dunes, moisturizing the soil and turning the sand into damp silt.
Patches of tough weeds even grew along the shore, their roots digging deep into the silt. These interlocking root systems played a significant role in stabilizing the sand.
'How did this lake get here?'
Li Luo walked forward, observed the lake's surface, then cautiously approached the edge and cupped a handful of water.
"It's a saltwater lake," she said, frowning slightly.
