As the weather grew hotter, Yan Zi was already drenched in sweat, but still couldn't find a place to rest, and hadn't even seen a single sand scorpion.
"This is so hard to find!"
Yan Zi immediately brought out her own ship, then climbed aboard to rest for a while. She checked her shelter and found nothing had changed, but there was still a risk of it melting if she took it out, as it was not yet capable of withstanding heat.
So, we'll just have to leave it for now.
Sitting on the ship, Yan Zi suddenly remembered her map, which seemed to have been integrated into the control panel.
She immediately pulled up the map to check and saw a map showing the area she had just passed.
Good news: Maps make walking easier!
Bad news: This map can only record areas that have been visited!
She checked the chat history in the channel again, but after searching for a long time, no one asked how to find Shaqu Scorpion. Even when people from other districts asked, they remained silent, as if they were hiding something.
Yan Zi had inquired with the official Dragon Kingdom team in this area long ago, but they did not give her the answer she wanted. She offered to exchange items, but they remained silent.
Left with no other option, she had to try it herself, but the results were still not very good.
"I never expected to find such backstabbing and infighting in a new area. It's really hindering social development."
After uttering a listless complaint, Yan Zi, still unwilling to give up, randomly asked around, but still received no information. They even pretended not to see the transaction...
Left with no other choice, she could only fill her stomach first, as she was exhausted after walking all day.
She took out a self-heating hot pot and started cooking it, then went to ask the people from their original Blue Star District 1 about the situation.
The name "Wind Sweeps Away Clouds" appeared in her chat box. Yan Zi remembered that this person was the one who sold her the stamina potion.
She immediately sent a message asking, "Hello, Wind and Cloud, have you found the whereabouts of the Sand Scorpion?"
Wind and Clouds: "No, the people in this desert region seem very wary and unwilling to reveal any information to us. Logically speaking, this kind of resource should be quite common, but they seem to want us not to know in advance, controlling this information very tightly. Not a single person in the entire region has come forward to answer."
Yan Zi naturally noticed this situation as well, which is why she wanted to ask others if their situation was the same as hers.
Unexpectedly, Feng Juan Canyun encountered the same problem as her, and she sighed with some regret.
"Thank you. Please let me know if you hear anything!"
"No problem, boss!"
Yan Zi logged off again, finished eating the self-heating hot pot she had cooked, and then began to take action.
The scorpion should be hiding in the sandy soil. After all, there is yellow sand everywhere here. Besides the deepest part of the ground, where else could the scorpion be found?
To say that we can find an oasis is simply absurd.
This desert is so vast that there is not a single patch of green in the visible area, making it extremely difficult to find an oasis. For someone like her who is unfamiliar with the place, it is highly inadvisable to venture into unknown territory, so this plan is immediately rejected.
Now, the only way is to go deep underground.
Yan Zi took out her own wood and iron nails and made an extra-long wooden ladder. She also put several identical wooden ladders in her backpack.
She casually picked up a military shovel made from the crafting table and started digging into the sand!
This time, she didn't just randomly dig a 50-centimeter-deep pit; she dug a full meter underground.

Yan Zi dug three meters into the ground before she suddenly struck something hard, and her eyes lit up instantly.
He picked up a military shovel and dug around in the dirt, pulling out the thing stuck at the very back.
[Hint: The White Sand Treasure Chest may contain a gift from the Ship of the Desert.]
Yan Zi hesitated for a moment, then opened the treasure chest directly.
When the treasure chest was opened, there was a weapon inside that looked very similar to the shovel in her hand, except that it was gleaming with white light and seemed to be of better quality than the one she had.
Just as Yan Zi was about to touch it, the entire treasure chest instantly crumbled, the contents fell to the ground, and hundreds of scorpion-like creatures crawled out!
Yan Zi felt a chill run down her spine instantly, and in less than a moment, her feet were covered with scorpions.
She raised her hand and swung a shovel, instantly slamming a bunch of shoes crawling towards him to the ground and crushing them to death.
Congratulations on killing a level 1 Sand Scorpion! You have gained 10 experience points and 1 scorpion tail.
Congratulations on killing a level 1 Sand Scorpion! You have gained 10 experience points and 1 scorpion meat.
[Congratulations on killing a level 1 Sand Scorpion. You have gained 10 experience points and 1 Scorpion Tail Stinger.]
Congratulations on your kill...
A series of kill notification sounds rang out.
Yan Zi swung her shovel faster and faster. With the help of "great strength can create miracles", her shovel swing doubled in speed, killing all the scorpions that emerged from the ground.
After dealing with all the scorpions, Yan Zi put them all into her backpack. There were a total of 123 scorpions, and she also obtained a lot of materials.
Yan Zi was about to go out when she looked at the pit that was 3 meters high above her and was speechless.
Fortunately, I had the foresight to make a wooden ladder before coming in, otherwise getting out would have been a problem.
Looking at the somewhat towering location, Yan Zi immediately made up her mind to simply dig through the area.
Anyway, I have more than enough energy to use up.
Yan Zi then took out the prepared frame from her backpack and placed it there. She then climbed up step by step until she finally climbed out of the pit and successfully landed on the ground.
She opened her chat window, sent a message to Wind and Cloud, and then decisively closed the chat window.
She looked at the item that had been opened from the White Sand Treasure Chest; it was a military shovel with attributes.
【Item: Armored Shovel (F)】
[Effect: This is an ordinary military shovel, found in the White Sand Treasure Chest in the desert region. It is a permanent item. With it, you will be invincible at digging sand in the desert! Digging efficiency increased by 20%]
[Wearing this item: Strength 2]
Yan Zi looked at the introduction on it and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Her first thought was the item upgrade voucher. The shovel was already at level F, so why not upgrade it?
A 20% increase in sand mining efficiency, and an upgrade might double that.
Yan Zi immediately used a coupon on it, and a blue light flashed instantly.
[Item: Armored Shovel (E)]
[Effect: This is a brave and fearless military shovel, obtained from the White Sand Treasure Chest in the desert region. It is a permanent item. With it, you can freely dig sand in the desert, increasing your sand-digging efficiency by 40%.]
[Wearing this item: Strength 4]
Yan Zi exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, that's really good!"
She eagerly raised the shovel and used her talent. As soon as the talent was used, the dice spun and the number stopped at seven.
She raised her hand and used two military shovels to shovel sand.
With the efficiency of two shovels, Yan Zi easily dug through another 3-meter-deep hole.
