There is a mysterious and wonderful contract between Jiang An and the little turtle.
This contract allows the human and the tortoise to communicate and converse in each other's minds through magical spiritual senses, and they can also sense each other's location.
However, this ability is not without its limitations.
Although Jiang An could sense the general direction of the little turtle and the distance between them, he could not know its exact location.
Just after Jiang An turned and left, the group of people who remained still stared intently at her receding figure, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
At this moment, Zhu Cheng, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but sigh, "Hey, we're really holding you back!"
The boy beside him patted his chest nonchalantly and assured him, "Brother He, you can rest assured! I'll definitely not be a burden to you if I team up with you!"
This young man, in the prime of his youth, was unaware of sorrow. He exuded confidence and vitality, looking eager to try, as if he believed he could definitely show his skills and achieve great things in this challenging dungeon.
He Zhizhou silently glanced at the other members of the team, then calmly began, "You are all from the second batch of players to enter this game, but I have the most experience in this survival journey. Therefore, I volunteer to be the captain of our team..."
She naturally had no way of knowing what happened on the spot after she left, nor would she spend time investigating such matters.
At this moment, Jiang Quan was completely focused on following the contract deep in his mind, trying his best to sense and determine the exact location of the little turtle.
After careful calculation and exploration, she finally determined the general direction and moved quickly forward along the road without hesitation.
This is a completely independent instance world existing outside of reality, and it is also a vast and boundless desert area.
However, this desert was completely different from the one Jiang An had experienced before; the differences were like heaven and earth.
If it weren't for such a significant difference, what would be the point of this copy?
After all, wouldn't it be too boring and mediocre to simply repeat the previous scene settings?
The temperature in this instance is one of the biggest changes. Although it's still hot, temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius are nothing to players. Jiang An guessed that this was to give the second batch of players a chance to adapt.
There are many other changes, but none are as significant as those related to temperature.
According to Jiang An's speculation and the little turtle's account, there is no doubt that the area where it is currently located is a place where primitive inhabitants lived!
This is undoubtedly an amazing new discovery. The fact that a human settlement could form in such a harsh environment must mean that it hides many unknown secrets and valuable resources.
If no unforeseen circumstances arise, the key clues to the desert gemstone and the sandstorm flower are very likely hidden here.
What's even more exciting is that if Jiang An is lucky enough, he might be able to obtain important information about the oasis!
Thinking of this, Jiang An felt an overwhelming surge of excitement, and her pace quickened...
Time slips away quietly, like sand in an hourglass, second by second.
Jiang An, with weary steps, searched around for a place to rest.
Finally, she discovered a towering sand dune, which acted as a natural barrier.
She then quickly ran to the shade on the back of the dune and collapsed down as if relieved.
After catching his breath, Jiang An reached into the storage bag, pretending to take out some food and water, but actually took it from the storage ring.
Even though there was no one else around, Jiang An remained vigilant. She wouldn't reveal that she had a storage ring unless absolutely necessary.
From the moment she entered the instance, everything she took out was concealed in a storage bag.
Since waking up after that terrifying sandstorm, she has only drunk a bottle of green leaf juice to replenish the water her body desperately needs.
As for food, she hadn't eaten a drop, and her stomach was already rumbling, with hunger surging up like a tide.
Jiang An sat on the ground, chewing the dry food in his hands. His dry throat gradually eased under the moisturizing effect of the green leaf juice.
During a break from eating, she finally had a chance to calm her thoughts and carefully review this eventful experience.
After leaving the mysterious cave, she rushed forward without stopping.
Along the way, she was filled with anticipation to encounter something—perhaps a tall cactus from which she could collect some refreshing sap; or perhaps a cute little animal that could add a touch of life and vitality to this desolate place.
Surprisingly, the journey was unusually quiet and peaceful.
Not to mention the thorny cacti, even the animals that should have lived and thrived here in peace and contentment have vanished without a trace.
If it weren't for the contract in his mind that accurately pointed out the path forward, Jiang An would probably have already lost his way like a headless fly, completely disoriented and not knowing which direction to take.
This eerie tranquility intensified Jiang An's unease, and she increasingly felt that the days ahead in this instance would definitely not be peaceful.
After all, each player entering the instance can only carry a limited amount of supplies, and in this mysterious place, they not only have difficulty obtaining the water they need to survive, but they also have no way to find food to fill their stomachs.
