"It seems their civilization is really amazing. We simply couldn't make something like this," Fang Xiyue exclaimed, touching the wall that was completely invisible.
"This should be the same principle as your technological superpower. Maybe the people over there also have technological superpowers." Ye Ziming thought it should be the same.
"Maybe." Fang Xiyue felt strange that she couldn't contact the system. Usually, the system would chat with her, but now her mind was suddenly so quiet, which was really unusual.
"How do you think we can get out of this game? Is it really only by completing the game? And what happens after that? Maybe there will be other things." Fang Xiyue looked at the large numbers in the sky.
"Once we get through this stage, we'll enter the intermediate level. In 18 days, we'll be able to leave the advanced level. We can definitely do it."
During this time, we can look for anything incongruous in this world; once we find it, we can break down this world.
Ye Ziming held Fang Xiyue's hand tightly. He was also anxious. He wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. He wanted to live and be with Yueyue. He was afraid of dying in this game world.
"Um."
Three days later, the number of participants reached 6678, and the level was cleared!
When Fang Xiyue opened her eyes again, she was in a desert, with nothing but desert in front and behind her.
She was carrying a backpack and had a water bottle slung across her shoulder; thankfully, the water bottle was full.
The sun was exceptionally hot. It was the first time Fang Xiyue had experienced such direct sunlight, and she felt like she was going to get sunburned.
She opened her backpack, took out a piece of clothing from inside, and covered her head with it to reduce the sun's scorching heat.
She also took the dagger from her backpack into her hand, just in case she encountered any danger and it was too late to retrieve it.
There was also a huge flatbread in the backpack, and quite a lot of other things were prepared, including a compass.
Fang Xiyue took a bite of the flatbread. It was very dry and didn't taste good, but she was glad to have something to eat in order to survive. She took a sip of water to keep her throat from drying out and her lips from cracking.
Fang Xiyue walked eastward following the direction of the compass when suddenly a gust of wind swept in, raising a cloud of dust.
She quickly covered her mouth and nose with her clothes, squatted down and let the sandstorm rage. When she stood up after the sandstorm, she was covered in a lot of sand.
Fang Xiyue continued eastward, believing that as long as she kept heading east, she would definitely be able to leave this desert alive.
The number in the sky has appeared: 10/10. It seems there are other people in this desert, but I don't know if we'll run into them.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, green finally appeared in her field of vision, and she actually saw a patch of cacti.
Fang Xiyue quickened her pace and walked over. These cacti were tall and thick, completely out of place in the desert. She had learned from a book that desert cacti could find water at their roots.
After careful observation, she finally found a small hole at the base of a cactus. Curious, she put her ear close to the hole and faintly heard the sound of running water coming from inside.
Fang Xiyue pulled out her dagger and began carefully digging in the sand around the hole. After some effort, clear water finally began to flow out.
Just as Fang Xiyue was about to fetch water, she suddenly heard the sound of camel bells. She gripped her dagger tightly and looked over, only to see a camel caravan.
As the camel caravan approached, Fang Xiyue saw Xiao Zihan lying unconscious on the back of a camel.
The old man leading the camel caravan also saw Fang Xiyue, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Uncle, he's my boyfriend. What's wrong with him?" Fang Xiyue had just counted, there were 8 people in total, plus her and Xiao Zihan, so there should be exactly 10.
The old man sighed, "We met him in the middle of the desert; he was already unconscious at that time."
"Uncle, there's water here. Please replenish your supplies first. I'll give him some water too."
Fang Xiyue lifted Xiao Zihan off the camel. The uncles were surprised by Fang Xiyue's strength.
Fang Xiyue didn't see their expressions; her mind was entirely on Xiao Zihan. She fed him water and then called his name.
Xiao Zihan slowly woke up and was overjoyed to see Fang Xiyue. He never expected to see Yueyue.
"Zihan, have something to eat." Fang Xiyue tore off a small piece of the flatbread and handed it to Xiao Zihan.
Just as everyone was sitting there eating, a rustling sound suddenly came from the spot.
"It's a desert scorpion." The camel caravan panicked instantly. Xiao Zihan's eyes sharpened, and despite being very weak, he stood up.
Fang Xiyue and Xiao Zihan stood side by side, knowing full well that it was too late to run, and in their current condition, they simply couldn't outrun them.
"Everyone be careful of the scorpion's stinger; it contains deadly venom," Xiao Zihan warned everyone.
Fang Xiyue gripped the dagger tightly and nodded.
The swarm of scorpions rapidly approached; their hard exoskeletons gleamed with a cold, eerie light in the sunlight.
Xiao Zihan rushed forward first, kicking away several poisonous scorpions that pounced at him. More scorpions surged up, and Fang Xiyue seized the opportunity to precisely stab the scorpions in the head with her dagger, driving them directly into the sand.
The camel caravan men were no pushovers either; they had their own ways of fighting the scorpions. Although the scorpions were endless, none of them suffered any losses.
After the scorpions dispersed, they all survived safely. The number in the sky did not change, so the 10 here definitely refers to the 10 of them.
"Uncle, let's get out of here quickly." Fang Xiyue felt that staying in the desert for even a second longer would be extremely dangerous.
