Chapter 85 Desert Survival Day 10 (14) I hope it is safe and sound...

Xiaoguai tried jumping on the sand dunes several times. Every time he jumped, he made a "meow" sound of pain. It became more and more difficult for him to jump, and he started scratching the sand in anger.

Yu Miaomiao didn't stop the arrow in her hand. She observed it with her peripheral vision for a few seconds, seeing its frustrated look, she felt helpless and distressed.

Although the zebra cat's movements are not as agile as before, its claws and teeth are not just for show and are still extremely sharp.

These birds have the advantage of high altitude and numbers, so they can avoid being caught by Xiaoguai and rush into their own artillery range like a suicide squad.

However, the automatic small turret's shooting has a time interval. If he keeps hiding in the sandbag, Xiaoguai, who has independent thinking, will not dare to come in. After all, Yu Miaomiao, a human, is not within Xiaoguai's hunting range, and it does not need to withstand the turret's attack at any time to help him.

Once the flocks of ice birds flew over the sandbags, they began to swoop down, pointing their sharp beaks at her. She couldn't shoot them with her crossbow.

The zebra cat's limbs were only affected by the clumped mucus and were not injured. It could not stay in this small place any longer. Since Xiaoguai was here, it had to use its advantages to help itself.

Yu Miaomiao silently counted the time for the next spray of the automatic small turret. When the first group of birds was about to rush into the sandbag range and dive down, she hurriedly stepped over the sandbag.

Move your hand in the direction where the flock of birds is coming from and draw the bow as you go.

Fortunately, the ice thorn birds did not fly fast, and the time from when they were in the air and then on the ground gave her time to run to Xiaoguai's side.

When Xiaoguai saw the birds that he couldn't catch flying into his hunting range, he jumped up excitedly and slapped one with his claws.

With the previous close contact, Yu Miaomiao felt more at ease with Xiaoguai. He took out a saber with his left hand and stabbed the eye of the ice thorn bird that was knocked unconscious by Xiaoguai.

When another ice thorn bird was about to grab her shoulder, she rolled to the ground in the direction of Xiaoguai. Xiaoguai cooperated very well and jumped up, pounced on the ice thorn bird, pressed the bird to the ground, and tore its two wings with his teeth to vent his powerlessness.

The ice thorn bird hovering in the air was still falling, and the time for the automatic small turret was just up. She immediately stood up and ran back to the sandbag, and switched to a crossbow in her hand and shot at them again.

Affected by the setting that only humans were caught, the ice thorn birds turned around and chased at low altitude regardless of their bodies. Some ice thorn birds turned too quickly, and some lost control of the direction of flight and fell headfirst under the sandbags. Yu Miaomiao quickly stabbed them with a saber, and the remaining few were crippled by Xiaoguai using the same biting method.

Yu Miaomiao almost rolled and crawled back into the sandbag, and saw the air exploding like fireworks, with countless white feathers and flesh and blood flying in the air. She took advantage of this gap to drink half a bottle of functional drink.

The physical strength value recovers from 20 points to 50 points per second, and the body becomes lighter.

Unexpectedly, she and Xiaoguai have an inexplicable tacit understanding. It may be because the zebra cat caught a few glowing monsters a few days ago, and each cat and person has their own division of labor.

Even Xiaoguai knew what it could do and what Yu Miaomiao, a human, could do.

The first wave of birds had been almost dealt with, and the next wave was still flying towards her.

There are definitely more than 30 of them. Looking at the white patch in the sky, there must be hundreds of them, right?

Yu Miaomiao felt a little annoyed. This broken system really didn't work for her.

After drinking the functional drink, Yu Miaomiao came to the sandbag again and shot 10 arrows in a row. Regardless of whether he hit the target or not, he gave up killing the ice thorn bird that had lost its ability to move immediately, but instead stabbed the saber into the eyes of the bird that had just been knocked away by Xiaoguai again and again.

The cat and the man cooperated very well and killed 10 of them in a row.

One minute was almost up, and she could return to the safe zone to rest. She thought her return would be clean and neat, but when she turned back to observe the arrows to replenish them, in order to avoid the sharp beak of the ice thorn bird, she tilted her body, slipped on the sand under her feet, and fell to the side with her bow.

Although she immediately used the system backpack function to change her weapon to a stone axe and was about to chop it while lying on the ground, the bird flexibly stepped on her two hands and stabbed her eyes with its sharp beak.

Yu Miaomiao subconsciously wanted to block with an axe, and changed his other hand to a saber, ready to stab the bird's head.

"thump."

A pile of sand was blown up beside her. It was Xiaoguai who snatched the bird away from her.

Yu Miaomiao looked at Xiaoguai gratefully, and without any hesitation switched the weapons in his two hands. He raised the saber with his right hand and stabbed the damn bird to death.

Only after returning to the sandbag did she have time to check her arm. She thought her hand must have been scratched, but it turned out to be completely intact. The bird's claws were obviously very sharp, so how could there be no injury at all?

Looking at the arm, it is a primary shield that looks like a watch face!

By the way, she has a shield, and this shield is really strong. The improved defense directly prevents her from getting hurt.

Inside the sandbag, counting the seconds until the laser cannon, she checked the shield's durability through the holographic image. It still had 93 points, which was not bad. Although it required a lot of materials to make, it was easy to use.

Before the automatic turret's cooling time was over, a small tornado visible to the naked eye appeared in the direction of the Icethorn Bird, with rolling yellow sand and some white figures in it.

The sandstorm is coming!

Along the way, he rolled up a group of ice thorn birds that had not yet had time to fly over, and attacked towards Yu Miaomiao together.

The ice thorn birds that were about to swoop towards her immediately flew away with all their might, ignoring Yu Miaomiao completely.

She deliberately looked at their flight path and found that they bypassed the circular attack range of the automatic small turret inside the sandbag.

She was not tied with a rope yet, and if she was swept away, her life might be in danger. Just as she was about to run into the house, she thought of what to do with Xiaoguai?

Looking back, Xiaoguai ran off in the other direction without a word, even faster than the Icethorn Bird.

The sandstorm was blowing towards her, and its speed should be faster than Xiaoguai, but this zebra cat was very smart. The direction it ran in formed a 90-degree vertical angle with the sandstorm. When she looked back, she could only see the broken tail bow swaying in the air.

Well, it just knows where it's safe.

On the way back, Yu Miaomiao put all the items he could get into his backpack and went straight into the wooden house.

She remembered the time of the sandstorm, but when she was fighting with the ice thorn bird, she had no buffer time to think. Fortunately, the system backpack function did not lag at all, allowing her to retrieve everything. Except for the arrows she shot and some ice thorn bird corpses, she did not suffer any losses.

Along the way, she brought back eight corpses, including the luminous ice thorn bird. Now that she was back in the house, she could dismember them.

[Successfully triggered the Lucky trait, decomposing to obtain 1 bird meat and 1 mucus, which have been stored in the system warehouse.]

【...】

The decomposed parts were basically the same, with less mucus and bird meat. Yu Miaomiao guessed that this was because the bodies of these wild animals were incomplete.

She sat on the bed, looking at the wind and sand outside the house. The sandstorm would end in 2 minutes, and her safe days would be over.

Through the behavior of the animals just now, she had a complete understanding of the settings of this game system.

It is obvious that sandstorms and automatic turrets, including the weapons used by Yu Miaomiao, can cause fatal damage to monsters.

She tentatively believed that the sandstorm could indeed break the weak spots and hard blocks of the monsters and kill them completely.

But the only thing they fear is bad weather and sandstorms.

Whether it's a zebra cat with its own thoughts, or an ice thorn bird that is programmed to attack humans like a moth to a flame, they all run away when they see a sandstorm.

But apart from this, when they face any weapons, including the automatic attack weapons provided by the system, they will still attack humans like Yu Miaomiao indefinitely, except Xiaoguai.

So she only had two choices at night. The first was to hide in the house to rest when there was a sandstorm, and to fight outside when there was no sandstorm. The second was to practice the tortoise breathing technique!

If the zebra cat and the beasts in the expedition area were unable to detect Miaomiao's presence when she used the Turtle Breathing Technique, it would mean that this technique was used to block the perception of the apocalyptic monsters.

The Turtle Breathing Technique not only reduces the perception of animals, but can even increase attribute values ​​after each practice. It is best to do it at night.

Yu Miaomiao still had orders for a poison bow and arrow set that would be powerful no matter how old she was. It would take about three hours to make these two items if she didn't trigger luck. If she had to fight wild beasts during that time, she would never be able to finish them in one night.

She also told Du Qiang that she might not be able to finish the work tonight, and she didn't want to take the risk again. She could only start the work early tomorrow after the sun came out.

After leaving a message with the other party, she immersed herself in practicing the tortoise breathing technique. Her last thought before practicing was whether Xiaoguai had eaten enough given his appetite. No matter what, she hoped that Xiaoguai's injury would heal quickly.

After breathing in and out and performing the moves in a continuous manner, Yu Miaomiao fell asleep following the last knee-hugging turtle breathing movement.

In her dream, she entered a world of ice and snow. She skied non-stop until she reached the end of the road, where there was a land scorched by the scorching sun.

She woke up, hot.

Desert Survival Day 11 06:59

Yu Miaomiao's clothes were wet with a thin layer of sweat and felt a little sticky. She lifted the quilt, but the room was not that hot. It must be because the quilt was too thick.

As expected, she managed to get through last night safely using the tortoise breathing technique. I wonder how long this method will last?

In other words, if I keep using this method, will I never see Xiaoguai again?

Yu Miaomiao checked the messages. There were two in total, both from Api. She had been bragging in the group last night about how awesome she was and how many monsters she had killed. She then said she was too excited and hoped she hadn't disturbed anyone. There was also another message from Api, saying good morning.

The three of them agreed that unless there were special circumstances at night, they would not send messages to each other to avoid distraction. No messages were the best news, indicating that all three of them were fine.

Yu Miaomiao replied "Good morning" in the group chat and prepared to go out. There was no sandstorm outside at this time, so she quickly used the wind and sand predictor to make a prediction.

"Within 5 kilometers, the next sandstorm will arrive in 23 minutes and 17 seconds and is expected to last 45 minutes."

Sure enough, during the day, the intervals between sandstorms would become longer, making it more difficult for the survivors to survive. At night, the intervals would be shorter, reducing the time the survivors could hide.

Cunning system!

Yu Miaomiao had just finished cursing in her heart when she saw the same message from Api.

"Is Pipi here? Sister Miaomiao, you're getting up earlier and earlier these days. Are you also unable to sleep because of this broken system?"

"Meow Meow isn't short of water: Can't sleep either? Aren't you always an early riser? So, could it be that you've been forced to get up before?"

"Is Pipi here?: No, the world is very busy right now. They say the weather is getting hotter and hotter, so hot that I can't sleep. Normally, there aren't so many people at this time."
