The fragrance is rich and long-lasting, like the aroma of flowers blooming in spring, yet it seems to have an added touch of mystery and allure compared to ordinary floral scents.

Xi Xi's tense nerves relaxed involuntarily after smelling the fragrance.

She felt all her muscles go soft and yielding, as if she were immersed in a warm and comfortable embrace, and all her fatigue and stress vanished in that moment.

Greatly surprised, she couldn't help but turn her gaze to Sallyman beside her: "What kind of insect is this?"

“I don’t know what it’s called, but I’ve seen this insect in a desert cave. I didn’t have any flammable material at the time, and since its shell was brittle, I used it as firewood.” As she spoke, Shaliman continued to add the giant insect’s shell to the campfire. “I didn’t expect that once the shell was lit, it would burn like incense and even slowly replenish my strength!”

Slightly surprised, Xi Xi tapped the screen and slowly opened her personal interface. When she saw the number in the stamina section quietly rise by 1 point, her eyes widened, and a surge of joy welled up inside her.

Seeing this, Sallyman smiled slightly and said softly, "From my careful observation, it increases stamina by about 1 point every half hour. Although the rate of increase is indeed a bit slow, it's better than nothing!"

Xi Xi nodded thoughtfully, her gaze returning to her personal interface. She thought to herself: It seems that there are too many secrets and rules hidden behind this survival game that I do not yet know.

Immediately afterwards, Shaliman and Xi Xi sat down side by side, both turning their gazes to the public screen.

The chat history scrolled rapidly like a tide, with all sorts of messages coming in one after another.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Shaliman turned to look at Xi Xi and began to recount her thrilling experience in the desert.

She seemed to have come to regard Xi Xi as a friend, and no longer had the awkwardness and social anxiety she had before.

It turns out that Sallyman had also entered the desert instance called "Mirage". Unfortunately, she didn't have any weapons to defend herself at the time, and was completely powerless against the powerful water monster, ultimately having no choice but to flee in a sorry state.

At this point, Sallyman sighed softly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

After a brief pause, Shaliman reached down and took a longsword from her waist, handing it to Xi Xi. She had obtained it from a locked, high-level treasure chest through a stroke of good luck.

Xi Xi was startled. It seemed that this Sallyman was even more powerful than she had imagined, and had even known how to obtain the key to the locked treasure chest before Li Jinshao.

She took the sword and looked closely. She saw that the blade was long and straight, like a sleeping silver dragon, and the edge gleamed with a cold light.

[Item Description: A lightweight, cold-bladed sword of excellent quality. When used, it can briefly stun hostile creatures within a certain range and reduce their agility by 2.]

Xi Xi weighed the sword in her hand. The hilt was finely carved, comfortable to hold, and made of solid and durable material.

The scabbard is made of high-quality wood or metal, with a beautiful and elegant appearance. It can protect the sword well and is also easy to carry.

Overall, this sword is very suitable for Suliman and shows good performance in actual combat.

Sallyman was quite impressed by the scythe at Xi Xi's waist, as she had the privilege of witnessing Xi Xi use the light blade to slash at the bats today.

The blade of light appeared to be formed from pure energy, radiating light and shimmering with a cold purple glow. When swung, the blade's light was like a dragon, cutting through the air and leaving behind a series of dazzling trails.

Sallyman was secretly amazed. Xi Xi's movements were not only agile but also sharp, and her effortless demeanor was truly admirable.

When she learned that the sickle was of legendary quality, she was surprised, but her admiration for Xi Xi increased even more.

Sallyman knew that Xi Xi was exceptionally capable, as evidenced by the various supplies she sold on the public chat, which proved that Xi Xi was indeed a capable person.

However, she never expected that Xi Xi would possess a legendary quality weapon, leaving her speechless with astonishment.

However, despite her shock, she also felt incredibly relieved.

This dungeon run is a sure thing!

Xi Xi was unaware of what Sallyman was thinking. She was staring at the discussion about the tunnel on the public screen and was lost in thought.

Just as Xi Xi had guessed, today, the information that there was a tunnel outside the east gate of the transfer station finally received widespread discussion on the public chat, causing the players who encountered the sandstorm to stop and rush to the transfer station without stopping.

"Even if it's dark inside the tunnel, it's still better than a sandstorm!"

"But I'm afraid of the dark..."

Will people's eyes degenerate if they don't get enough sunlight for a long time?

"Anyway, it's better than the desert. Although the climate is cold, at least it's stable, and the temperature difference between day and night is not significant."

"Don't even mention it, I haven't even reached the transit station yet, and this sandstorm is getting bigger and bigger."

"I think it's great. I always hated staying up late during the day, and now I really feel like I'm living in a cramped place."

"And it's convenient to get supplies; we don't have to run a long way under the sun like we do in the desert."

"But there are more monsters guarding the box now..."

"I suggest everyone have an invisibility talisman."

"Invisibility talismans are useless against bats. If you see a red-eyed bat, it's best to run away..."

"Don't even mention how the invisibility talisman has become so valuable in the trading hall. I wish I hadn't sold it."

"My cooling talisman is truly disheartening; the price has plummeted. I should have sold it when the desert price was at its peak..."

"Didn't you notice there aren't many dead trees in this tunnel? Starting a fire would be too expensive..."
