Taliya turned around to get her water bag, trying to wash Xiao Huang's tongue, but when she took off the water bag, she heard a sound.

"No need to worry, Taliyah, I'm here to tell you some good news."

He didn't feel the surprise, but was frightened. Taliya stretched her neck in a panic and looked around, wanting to find the person to speak. After thinking about it carefully, he slowly looked at Xiao Huang.

"Are you talking just now..."

She saw that Xiao Huang had spitted out the sand, and took turns raising her legs to shake off the gravel sand stuck in the gap in the meat pad. She didn't look up at her, making Taliya feel that she might be auditory hallucinating.

"As well... this city is deserted, and there are no living people there." Taliyah touched her forehead, and was a little confused about whether it was hot or not: "I may have been exposed to the sun for too long and have had auditory hallucinations. I should leave here before I finish drinking the water."

"You heard it right, but Poluo didn't speak. It was me who spoke to you, Poluo Shepherd."

Taliya heard it clearly this time. The sound rang directly in her mind, and with the sound, she felt a little more cognition in her mind. She suddenly knew that Poluo was referring to the small white creature she had just met, and the person who spoke to her was the so-called Poluo Shepherd.

"Do you know me?" she asked carefully.

"Well. Do you remember you have a master? In Ionia..."

"Is Master Yasuo talking?" Taliya stood up suddenly and subconsciously began to look for the source of the sound.

"No, I'm not Yasuo, I'm his friend. But the real Yasuo is already coming to Shurima, I'll come and tell you first." Zel considered the language, remembering that Yasuo didn't want to bother others, so he downplayed his purpose: "The next stop he traveled is Shurima, come and see how you are."

The voice is not Yasuo, but it is similar to hearing Yasuo coming. Taliyah was very happy: "Thank you, the shepherd, thank you for telling me this news, giving you water and shade."

"It also gives you water and shade."

Taliyah was full of expectations. Now she could proudly tell Yasuo that she had not let down his teachings and had grown up to be the big girl who could stand alone.

But when her eyes drifted to the faceless statue of the god on the cliff, the joy on her face disappeared in an instant.

"What's wrong?" Zele saw the worry on her face, as if there was something important that Biyasuo was coming.

"I have a... friend, her whereabouts are unknown, and I have been waiting for her to come back here."

"You can tell me what's going on here, and I'll try to help you solve it."

The words starting with "I have a friend" are generally the default. The narrator has something to say. I created a virtual character to replace him, but Taliyah's next words are not right. As far as Zer knows, she has quite a lot of friends.

Moreover, when Zel came, he noticed various visions of this deserted city and inferred that Taliyah was also involved. He heard that her friend had also encountered misfortune here, and obviously she knew what had happened here.

"Then I said it, that's how it is..." Taliya sat down against the wall. She picked up Xiao Huang, and the scarf on her neck stood up against the stone on the edge to prevent the wind and sand from getting into her mouth while she was talking.

About a month ago, Taliyah met a group of migrating refugees on the way to find her family. These thirty people were either elderly or children and had little ability to resist risks. The kind Taliyah was preparing to escort them through the dangerous Kelisse to Zoran for asylum.

"Zoran, on the other end of Kehalis, has been with magic protection for thousands of years. It is said that it is a paradise, with a library, a garden, and clear water. It can flow as far as you see. Everyone is safe and you don't have to worry about anything." What Taliyah said was just the most basic thing in Zer's opinion, but for the desert people, clean and sufficient water sources are more attractive than anything else, so everyone walked towards Zoran unswervingly.

Taliya didn't expect that they encountered a sandstorm and sinking as soon as they arrived at Kelisse. Fortunately, no one fell down. But in the falling cave, she noticed an existence fighting a monster in the void. Out of kindness, she used her ability to create stone bulges on the wall of the cave to help the other party escape from danger.

Taliya didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend at first, so she controlled her the moment the other party climbed up. However, through the crack on the other party's body, she noticed that the inside of the void shell was like hers.

The two met like this. The girl's name was Kasha, who was a human. She fell to the ground a long time ago, and in order to adapt to the underground environment, she evolved into a body of insect armor.

Taliyah took Kasha to the camp and helped her recover for some food. When she said that they were going to travel through Kohalise to Zoran, Kasha bluntly said that Zoran's legend might be fake, but Kohalise's monster is definitely true, because she is here fighting the monsters day and night, and she doesn't think Zoran, who is adjacent to the monster's nest, will be a shelter.

The people in the camp did not believe what Kasha said, firmly believed that the shelter was real, and insisted on traveling through time regardless of the danger, but Taliyah also decided to continue escorting them. Kasha didn't say anything, but just returned to the underground to open the way for them, because she was hunting here, and helping them find out the danger was just by the way.

The danger really happened. The void monsters were active underground and caused the sinking. Two children fell down. Kasha rescued them. She proved that this road was not feasible, which made the group of people change their minds and give up Zoran and find a new shelter.

Kasha was still relieved to save so many lives. She also made Taliya understand how cruel this desert is. Then they hit it off and decided to go to Zoran to see and confirm the authenticity of the legend.

Just a few days ago, they came to Zoran, where Taliyah is now.

"When we came to Zoran, it was already an empty city. The fountain was not dry and the garden was not withered, but we just couldn't find any living person. At some point, something terrible happened, and took all the people here."

Taliyah showed a sad expression, but shed no tears. In the desert, every drop of water was precious.

"Kasha said that the void creatures attacked the place and ate all the stonemasons. They gathered here, originally to repair the faceless statue of Zorani, the ascensioner, but unexpectedly this happened..."

Zel asked Xiao Huang to look at the broken statue carved on the cliff. It seemed that the Ascension Zorani failed to protect the city. It was so stupid that the people who thought the glory of the god warrior could shelter her.
