Chapter 1711: Sand Giants

"You were already here when you woke up?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
He had woken up in the forest ruled by the Five Monarchs, but these people actually woke up here. Could it be that the crowd was not just teleported to a random location, they were teleported to random folded spaces as well?
It's no wonder I couldn't feel Luo Ruoxin or any familiar auras around!
He had encountered quite a few cultivators in the forest earlier, but he did not find any familiar faces. He had not thought much of it back then, but at this moment, it was already more than apparent that something was wrong.
It seemed like the Temple of Confucius was far more complex than he had predicted.
"What was the sand giant earlier? Since you have been here for several hours already, did you notice anything striking?" Zhang Xuan continued asking.
The forest was filled with treasures and the 'teacher's milieu', which could raise a cultivator's Soul Depth. On the other hand, this desert seemed to be challenging a cultivator's limits. Parched and sweltering, they were completely two different worlds!
But since everyone was teleported to a different folded space, there should be some kind of exit that would take him to another folded space.
"The sand giant is a lifeform that exists in this desert. We encountered it after traveling for roughly four hours, and it attacked us upon noticing our presence... If not for your help, we might have already succumbed by now!" the Intuitive Impulse cultivator revealed without hiding anything from Zhang Xuan.
"As for anything striking... I'm afraid I didn't see anything of that sort. However, we did encounter a few other groups during our journey, and they seemed to be looking for an oasis. I'm not too sure whether they have managed to find it or not, but we didn't see anything of that sort on our journey..."
"Oasis?"
Those words made Zhang Xuan's eyes light up.
Indeed! Since there was a desert, there was bound to be an oasis somewhere.
It was highly likely that the exit would be located in the oasis!
Zhang Xuan nodded in delight upon finding a clue as to what he should be looking for. After which, he turned his sight back to the Intuitive Impulse realm cultivator. "How did you encounter the sand giant earlier?"
"We were simply resting to alleviate our exhaustion and quench our thirst when that fellow suddenly appeared and attacked us!" the Intuitive Impulse realm cultivator replied.
"You were trying to quench your thirst?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
If that was the triggering factor, he did drink a bit of spirit essence earlier too, but the sand giant did not appear.
"That's right. However, it feels like there's something really weird about this place. No matter how much water we drink, it doesn't seem to quench our thirst. Instead, the more we drink, the feebler we become," the Intuitive Impulse realm cultivator said bitterly.
"Drinking water doesn't work?" Bewildered, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist and took out a gourd of water. With a sip, he realized that his mouth was getting more and more parched. It was as if he was pouring flames into his body, causing it to wither bit by bit.
