The oasis they chose was quite far from the edge of the desert. They had originally planned to settle down here, but they found that the distance they had walked from where they started was not as far as they had imagined. And by some twist of fate, they ended up with a small house here, as well as a giant tree laden with fruit that they might be able to eat.

They all felt it wasn't worth leaving now to find an oasis in some unknown place, even though in addition to building a desert city, they also needed a hundred residents.

"Why are they capturing humans? They can't be doing it to eat them, can they...?"

Hearing Chen Jiaxu's trembling guess, Mo Shuwan couldn't help but think of the second mission world, that perverted zombie world, and those perverted survivors in the perverted safe zone who thought eating people was normal. Her voice deepened, "Don't think nonsense."

The monster that was kicked out of the oasis was quickly burned to ashes, and its other half, which lay in the oasis, met the same fate.

The monster looked around and noticed that several more fiery monsters were trying to rush into the oasis and into the water. It raised its head and let out a loud roar. The monsters that had been standing or sitting quietly around it immediately responded with a roar. They stood up and rushed towards their companions who were running back with flames.

swish swish swish —

Several monsters were kicked out of the oasis, but there were so many of them and they weren't very smart. They didn't know why their companions were on fire, and they didn't care. They just wanted to pick leaves from the giant tree. As a result, more and more monsters were affected.

A few monsters were manageable, but when their numbers increased, they tried to rush into the lake in the oasis. The monsters in the oasis couldn't stop them at all, and despite their best efforts, many of them still managed to rush into the lake.

Holding binoculars, Mo Shuwan saw the lake water turn red in the blink of an eye—not the color of blood, but the color of flames!

In the blink of an eye, the entire lake turned into a sea of ​​fire. The monsters that tried to extinguish the flames on their bodies with water were instantly burned to ashes. After they died, the lake returned to its normal color.

The monster that had kicked the first monster out of the oasis roared angrily and charged out of the oasis, running around at an extremely fast speed. At first, Mo Shuwan and the others couldn't figure out the monster's intentions, but soon, their eyes darkened.

The monster is looking for them.

Chen Jiaxu cursed under his breath, "Damn, this monster is actually this smart!"

The monster was too fast for them to keep up with the naked eye. They had already lost sight of it. To prevent a sudden attack, they immediately activated the defensive talismans on their bodies.

Mo Shuwan put down her binoculars, picked up her silver bow, and looked around. Suddenly, her gaze met a pair of scarlet eyes.

It's that monster!

Mo Shuwan immediately released her grip on the bowstring, and the fiery red arrow hurtled toward the monster at incredible speed.

At the same time, another bullet flew out, grazing the monster's arm and causing it a serious injury. It stared at Mo Shuwan and the others, roaring angrily.

"Captain! All those monsters are coming!!!"

"I'm leaving this to you!"

Before Mo Shuwan could even get a good look at the monsters after turning around, she had already pulled the bowstring several times in quick succession. The monsters were too fast, and she had to strike first.

Liu Dongcheng, Yang Zhou, and Chen Jiaxu focused intently on the monster that had approached them. Yang Zhou and Chen Jiaxu even summoned an elemental being each. One of the elemental beings chased after the monster, preventing it from getting close, while the other elemental being stayed in place to protect everyone according to the summoner's instructions.

The deafening roar of the beasts made the faces of the group darken. Although the silver bow could inflict great damage on these monsters, they were extremely resilient, and only a few monsters died after several arrows.

"These monsters must be afraid of fire." Mo Shuwan was slightly out of breath as she kept pulling the bowstring. This time, her luck was extremely bad. Arrows of all attributes appeared, but no fire-attribute arrows appeared, which resulted in some of the monsters already being in front of her.

Wen Zuo, holding the longsword, stood at the forefront, and the elementalist who had stayed by his side also rushed to Wen Zuo's side to help fight the monster.

call out--

Finally, a fiery red arrow shot towards the monster.

The monsters began to die.

Liu Dongcheng fired a few shots, inflicting considerable damage on the creature that looked like the leader of the monsters. He noticed that the creature had slowed down, narrowed his eyes, and took out a card from his storage space.

The monster, which kept shifting and changing positions, glared fiercely at Liu Dongcheng, let out a loud roar, and then turned and left, disappearing from Liu Dongcheng's shooting range in the blink of an eye.

The monster that left was indeed the leader. After it let out a cry and left, the monsters that were charging towards Mo Shuwan and the others immediately rushed after the direction the monster had gone.

A few minutes later, Mo Shuwan and the others were still in a daze, staring at the desert that was now completely empty, without a single monster left.

I thought it would be a tough battle, but it ended so easily...?

Mo Shuwan said with some disbelief, "Could it be that they sensed some kind of danger?"

Before the leading monster left, Liu Dongcheng exchanged a glance with it and shook his head. "It shouldn't be."

After discussing for a while without reaching a conclusion, Mo Shuwan sighed, "Forget it, let's not think about it for now. Let's go see if those humans are still there."

The group of monsters that had just been summoned by the leader to deal with them hadn't returned to the oasis before leaving. Logically, the humans should have been safe, but it's possible that a monster attacked them in those few short minutes.

They quickly returned to the oasis. The few humans who had been brought there by the monsters were still obediently huddled in the oasis, probably not expecting the monsters to leave. Mo Shuwan noticed that they hadn't even moved from their original positions; they were still where they were when she spotted them through the binoculars.

"One, two, three, four, five! Great! There are five!"

The number of people was actually easy to tell at a glance, but Chen Jiaxu was so happy that he counted them over and over again. In fact, not only him, but Mo Shuwan and the others were also quite happy. They had just gotten a small house not long ago, and now, by some twist of fate, they had gained five more humans, bringing them one step closer to completing the mission.

The five humans huddled together looked up at them, their gazes sweeping over them before they lowered their heads again, their bodies still trembling slightly, probably because they didn't consider them one of their own.

Chen Jiaxu was too excited; his eyes now looked like he wanted to devour someone.

Mo Shuwan coughed lightly, reached out and pulled Chen Jiaxu, who had started counting again, back a little. She took two steps forward with a smile on her face, squatted down in front of the group, and said gently, "You are safe now. We are human beings too."

No one spoke, and no one responded.
