After looking at it for a while, Liu Dongcheng shook his head. He couldn't see anything strange about the fruit either, but the way the fruit appeared was unusual, so it couldn't possibly be so ordinary.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was ten o'clock. Wen Zuo and Yang Zhou woke up automatically without being woken up. Since they planned to reach the oasis today, the group set off immediately after they woke up.

On the way, Mo Shuwan told Wen Zuo and Yang Zhou about the sapling and the fruit.

Wen Zuo: Where's the fruit?

"I put it in the storage space. I figured since the storage space was something I exchanged on the bus, even if there's something wrong with that fruit, it shouldn't be able to threaten us from there."

Despite saying that, Mo Shuwan still took out the fruit and handed it to Wen Zuo, and also called Yang Zhou over to take a look.

Of course, Wen Zuo and Yang Zhou also failed to notice anything strange about the fruit, so Mo Shuwan put it back into her storage space.

They traveled without stopping, eating as they went, and drinking restorative potions when they felt tired. They continued like this until nightfall, when they finally caught a glimpse of the oasis.

Looking at the footprints in front of him, Chen Jiaxu nervously swallowed. "Captain, there are definitely monsters in the oasis ahead!"

"Keep your voice down," Mo Shuwan said softly. After carefully surveying the location of the oasis ahead, she moved down a bit, using the sand dunes in front of her to conceal herself, and took out the map to examine it closely.

Sure enough, because they discovered the monster's presence, a red dot appeared in the oasis where there hadn't been one before.

"Let's leave here first and see if we can encounter any lone monsters tonight, to test their strength first."

No one objected to Mo Shuwan's suggestion. The next action concerned the lives of all of them, and they wished they could be more cautious.

Just like when they arrived, the five of them carefully left the area and moved to a place further away from the oasis. Of course, they didn't choose a direction randomly; after all, they wanted to test the strength of the monsters, so the direction they chose still had monster footprints.

After choosing a hiding place, Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng each took a silenced gun and aimed it in two directions, while Mo Shuwan took a silver bow. The silver bow was extremely powerful, and if they were unlucky and encountered a lot of monsters with great strength, they could at least fire a few arrows to buy time to retreat.

Waiting for a monster to come to you is inherently uncertain. The five of them waited there all night, their bodies frozen stiff, but they still didn't see one. Mo Shuwan sniffed and realized with a sigh that she had caught a cold.

She quickly used her fire-attribute longsword to heat the surrounding sand, then cupped the sand around her to cover Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng's hands so they wouldn't be too cold to pull the trigger.

As time passed and they waited for a long time without seeing any monsters, Mo Shuwan took Yang Zhou to sleep first, and asked Chen Jiaxu to take the fire-attribute longsword and make sure to put hot sand on Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng's hands.

This was the first time Chen Jiaxu had received such an important task, and he became very nervous. After Mo Shuwan and Yang Zhou fell asleep, he quickly heated up the sand to cover them up, and then ran over to change the clothes on Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng's bodies and hands.

After confirming that Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng were still awake, Chen Jiaxu breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that he wasn't alone on night watch.

This time, Mo Shuwan woke up around three o'clock. When she woke up, she saw Chen Jiaxu changing the bedding for Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng. She smiled, walked over quietly, and said in a low voice, "Let me do it."

Her sudden voice startled Chen Jiaxu, who instinctively swung his fire-attribute longsword. He quickly realized that the person in front of him was Mo Shuwan, but he couldn't stop, so he could only growl repeatedly, "Captain! Watch out!"

Mo Shuwan easily dodged Chen Jiaxu's attack, took the fire-attribute longsword from his hand, noticed his nervousness, and was somewhat amused and exasperated, "Go to sleep."

Chen Jiaxu was panting heavily, looking like he had just escaped a disaster. He had been in a state of extreme tension all night, afraid that he hadn't kept watch properly and something bad would happen. Now that he heard he could go to sleep, he immediately relaxed and looked embarrassed. "Then I'll go to sleep first."

"Go."

Mo Shuwan walked over to Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng and squatted down, touching the sand on their bodies; it was still warm.

"You two should also get some sleep. I'll wake you up if I notice anything unusual."

Mo Shuwan came to keep watch at night, and Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng were very relieved. Upon hearing this, the two did not refuse and lay down on the sand to close their eyes and go to sleep.

Like Chen Jiaxu before her, Mo Shuwan was also very busy. This time, she not only had to keep Wen Zuo and the others warm, but also had to pay attention to any unusual situations around her. Fortunately, she was already used to this kind of highly focused situation and did not feel tired.

Until three figures appeared in the distance, leaping several feet high.

Mo Shuwan immediately squatted down, reached out and patted Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng awake, and whispered, "They're here."

After confirming that both of them were awake and focused, Mo Shuwan stepped back and woke up Yang Zhou and Chen Jiaxu as well. Although they were fast asleep, they still remembered the purpose of their visit and did not make a sound after being woken up.

"The monster is coming. Keep your eyes on Hope and the stratosphere, and make sure they don't make any noise."

Chen Jiaxu and Yang Zhou nodded solemnly, then immediately reached out and hugged Hope and Stratosphere into their arms, placing their hands lightly near their mouths, ready to cover them if they made any noise.

Hopefully, the dinosaurs in the stratosphere are still little dinosaurs that have just hatched and haven't developed their alertness yet. They haven't woken up even though they're being held like this, and are sleeping very soundly.

Looking at the two little ones, Mo Shuwan secretly made up her mind.

We must properly cultivate their vigilance.

The three monsters arrived within seconds and were within sight of them. These monsters were unlike any they had ever seen before. They were short, without muscular limbs or ugly fangs. They looked almost exactly like humans, except for their stiff-looking fur.

Mo Shuwan took out the map and looked at it. The red dots on the oasis hadn't moved. She whispered, "It must be these two monsters acting alone. The other monsters are still on the oasis. We can fire."

Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng gently pulled the safety lever, burying themselves entirely in the sand, including their hands. Since hand gestures couldn't communicate with each other, Mo Shuwan, who was squatting between them, took on the role of distributing the monsters.

"The tallest one on the left belongs to Wen Zuo, and the one with the longest hair on the right belongs to Liu Dongcheng."
