Chapter 551: Thirst

Mei Hong and others were shocked by the news of Hua Xiyin's death, with anger and sadness flooding their faces. Wu Lili burst into tears.

But Yoshiyuki looked at the scene in his dream and thought hard, but he could only barely think of these few words.

Xiyin...

...Hua Xiyin? From the Hua family...

Strange, who is she... Why can I remember her name, but not anything else...?

"She wants us to take Yoshiyuki directly to Erina, and let us leave her alone..." The previously gloomy Jimbo Kikue seemed to have regained hope, so he took Takagi's words and requested: "Umehong! We Go back and help her! We can’t let her die here!”

"There are really not enough manpower...Wu Nini, you drive Yoshihiro to find Erina! Everyone else, follow me to help." Mei Hong clenched his fists and tried his best to control his anger as he ordered.

Wu Nini: "But Master! Xiyin, she——"

"——Xiyin is dead! I know you are not willing to give in, but Yi Xing's condition cannot be delayed, otherwise it will be all over." Mei Hong barely kept his calm and said: "The erosion caused by Pluto to him is too serious. No He won’t be able to survive the treatment from the Underworld Witch for long, and I’m afraid he won’t even be able to save his soul by then!”

"I...I understand." Wu Lili lowered her head.

Although she wanted to fight with her master, she understood that someone had to escort Yoshihiro, so she obeyed his order.

The pain of losing Hua Xiyin made her eyes dim with tears.

"Master, Wu Lili... everyone, please be careful!"

"Sister, you too!"

"...go."

Mei Hong held Wu Nini in his arms, touched her head, and kissed Wu Nini's face gently.

Wu Nini, on the other hand, shed tears and kissed his lips.

This time, Wu Lili didn't bother to ask for it.

After reluctantly separating from his owner, Mei Hong handed her the car keys and rushed to the temple.

Wu Nini helped Yi Xing into the passenger seat and started the vehicle.

…

Completely different from what was planned.

Erina wasn't there. The hideout has been breached.

Although no bodies of our men were found, we still saw a lot of blood.

...blood that smells like the underworld witch.

How did the information leak out?

Is there really a mole...?

Sachiko and Yukikaze Maru had long suspected that there was a mole. Eunice agreed with them.

But I never took it seriously... Others also felt that every companion was worthy of trust.

Who will be the traitor?

Fortunately, Yi Xing held on.

He is tougher than his master thought, both physically and mentally strong...

But even after recovering from the coma, Yoshihiro's condition was still not ideal.

His health became worse and worse, and his consciousness was in chaos for a long time.

Erina must be found.

Only his master can save him.

Will the end of the world also become our final stop?

Master...sister...

How are you doing there?

Be sure to be safe and sound!

I can't bear another blow...

Wu Nini took a deep breath, trying to suppress the uneasiness that was about to engulf her soul.

She rubbed her face, trying to cheer herself up.

She told herself that the master should have thought about the possibility of an accident. There was a reason why she was chosen to protect Yoshihiro.

The master knows that she has the strength to protect Yi Xing and is steady and calm enough to handle this kind of dilemma. She didn't want to disappoint her master, but she couldn't help but close her eyes and asked softly in her heart: Why is this happening...What should I do?

I really wish a master could tell me. He always has great ideas...even his sister's clever ideas.

I really wish there was someone I could communicate with... Yi Xing was too weak to have a normal conversation.

Wu Nini was extremely confused.

She could see no obvious signs indicating the direction in which her companions had fled.

You can't stay here or go back to the temple to find them.

That would be too dangerous. Enemies may target them at any time.

But after being depressed for a while, Wu Nini cheered up.

She felt that she could not live up to her master's expectations.

and……

Yoshiyuki's life, and the fate of the entire planet, now rests on her shoulders.

She must protect Yoshiyuki and help him find Erina.

But before that, she must try her best to extend Yi Xing's life.

…

It has been a long time since we drove into this desert.

Wu Nini tried to find the oasis with magical water to heal Yi Xing's dying soul.

The reserve of drinking water has almost been used up.

Let alone an oasis, there was not even a place where there might be water or green shade.

She is lost.

Wu Nini had long expected the risks of entering the desert. But she still had to bite the bullet and do it.

Because if you don't try it this way, you're just wandering around in a meaningless way.

At the same time, Yoshiyuki's physical condition will continue to deteriorate.

Wu Nini was so thirsty and distracted that her body felt weak. She sat in the car that was like a steamer and didn't even want to move.

Outside, it's hotter.

The high temperature here is so terrible that even the air conditioner blows out cold air.

thirsty……

So thirsty...

I really want to drink water...

Wu Nini drowsily grabbed the kettle and shook it slightly with her weak hands.

There was the sound of rushing water inside - but it was clear that there were only a few of them.

Just enough for a few bites.

If I hadn't endured my thirst and drank as little as possible since I entered the desert, I wouldn't have even this point left now.

If we don't go out to find water, we will both die here...

Wu Nini's cat ears drooped listlessly, and her throat was so dry that she couldn't even swallow her saliva.

She felt a pain in her throat.

Like a fire burning.

This probably has something to do with the fact that she hasn't drank any water in the past few days, only urine and cactus juice.

She felt that Yi Xing was in poor health and could not withstand the toxins and impurities in these liquids as a last resort - especially the cactus, whose juice contained many toxins and ingredients that were difficult for the human body to absorb and eliminate. If you drink it, your life may be in danger.

Therefore, Wu Nini mixed the urine of the two people and a little cactus juice collected in another water bottle, and drank it only for herself.

She didn't dare to drink too much cactus juice, so she only dared to take a little at a time.

The smell of this stuff is also quite unbearable. Bitter and astringent, some are sour and spicy.

If she were to judge flammability based on taste alone, she would definitely think that this thing would burn as easily as vodka when exposed to fire.

Of course, the taste of cactus juice is completely incomparable to urine.

The taste of drinking urine is the real torture.

Due to the lack of water, the urine she excreted was too strong. Every time she forced herself to swallow it, the pungent smell that came up from her stomach made her want to vomit. After mixing it with cactus juice, instead of being refreshed by the plant mucus, the smell became even weirder.
