No. 29
I made an appointment with Tian Xiaoling to participate in a primary dungeon together. I thought that with the initial experience, as long as I prepared weapons and equipment in advance and found a few reliable people, there should be no problem.
But now with the option of an intermediate copy, things have changed.
Fu Tian had a rough idea in his mind, which was probably because he had broken through the initial stage.
Does that mean that as long as you can break through the intermediate level and enter the advanced stage, you can enter the advanced copy?
Similarly, after entering the advanced stage, can we obtain functional foods by cooking ordinary ingredients?
All sorts of thoughts raced through her mind, but nothing came to a conclusion. Taking another look at the intermediate to advanced cooking skill values, Fu Tian's passion, ignited by the intermediate dungeon, gradually cooled, and her mind became clearer.
The most important thing is to take care of the current things first.
Fu Tian sent messages to several people separately, and the unanimous answer she got was that they wanted to go.
After getting the confirmation, she sent a message to someone.
Tang Ji also acted quite quickly.
We asked a few people to go to the envoy to inquire about the news, and they reported the situation soon.
This intermediate dungeon had a maximum number of players, one thousand, so it was naturally impossible for them to clear it alone. Even if they could, it would be a huge waste of resources.
Only the original Tian Xiaoling and others were ensured, and the rest were left to Tang Ji to arrange.
In less than two hours, all the troops arrived, and they were all elite soldiers.
This is mainly due to the fact that to enter the dungeon, not everyone needs to go to the same city, they only need to enter the team information in their own city.
Fu Tian also sent a message to Tian Xiaoling and the others.
After getting the confirmed information, a thousand people entered the copy one after another.
[System: Do you want to enter the intermediate dungeon - Summer Desert Island? Yes or No?]
Yes, Fu Tian muttered to herself.
My vision went dark, and the scene changed. A burning sensation washed over my entire body, making it feel like even breathing would burn my lungs.
When she looked up, the sun was high in the sky. Fu Tian quickly took out her parasol and changed into light clothes.
After the last lesson, Fu Tian learned her lesson and prepared all the supplies for each season.
It was such a hot day, Fu Tian quickly took out the ice maker, and after taking the ice into her mouth, she felt like she was coming back to life.
The aftereffects of the hot weather are excessive sweating and physical fatigue, which makes people so tired that they don't even want to look for companions.
She took a look and found that her fatigue level was decreasing at twice the usual rate.
This can't go on.
One person cannot survive in an intermediate dungeon.
With an idea in mind, Fu Tian began to look for traces around him.
She was now in a sandy area with sparse vegetation around. There was nothing there except some cacti and indistinguishable vegetation.
The map is obviously very extensive.
Food is still not allowed in the dungeon, but water is allowed. However, water can only relieve the heat and cannot satisfy hunger.
Fu Tian jogged a few steps quickly and harvested a large amount of cactus before his fatigue value dropped below the red line.
To be honest, the taste of chewing dry cactus is a bit special.
Relying on these cacti, Fu Tian finally managed to walk across the sand. After turning over a hill, he saw the endless sea, flanked by a continuous forest and a group of people...
Yes, it’s a group of people.
Fu Tian: “…”
So she was the only one assigned to a corner.
I didn't know what to say, all I could do was quickly reunite with the team.
Some people saw her from a distance and waved to her. When she got closer, she found that they were all wandering around the woods with their trouser legs rolled up and forks in their hands.
Fu Tian walked over and greeted him, "What are you doing?"
Tian Xiaoling was very happy to see her and stuffed a handful of sand dates into her pocket. "Catching crabs. There are also eels in the deep water over there."
No wonder she sent messages, but her replies were shorter and shorter each time. Only Tang Ji asked about the surrounding environment and whether she needed help, showing his concern.
The rest were just busy eating.
In this regard, Fu Tian wronged the others.
The main reason was that everyone in the group recognized her as a big shot. There was no problem a big shot couldn't handle, and if there was, they wouldn't be able to help. It would be better to get some more food so Fu Tian could have something hot to eat when she arrived.
Before entering the dungeon, most of the people in the group lived far from the sea, so if they wanted to eat seafood, they had to ship it from far away. Not only was it not fresh, but the variety was also limited. Now that they were in the dungeon, right by the sea, they didn't want to try something new.
Besides, my fatigue level is dropping quickly. If I don’t eat more, I’ll starve to death.
They are thinking about the team!
Fu Tian also coveted the crabs and eels, so he quickly finished his meal of sand dates, picked up a wooden stick, and quickly joined the team.
Behind him, Tian Xiaoling warned, "Be careful, that crab is very big and its claws are very strong. Be careful not to get your fingers pinched off by it."
Someone waved and pretended to hear it.
Tian Xiaoling got angry when she saw the perfunctory action.
I thought to myself, you’ll know how powerful that crab is soon.
After entering the woods and seeing the crab, Fu Tian realized how powerful it was as Tian Xiaoling said.
A crab's legs stretched out are a full meter long, and its two claws are as big as small white melons. It can easily break a wooden stick with a snap.
Fu Tian looked at the broken piece of wood and began to doubt her life. But the crab was still raising its two big claws to threaten her.
The little guy is quite capable.
Fu Tian threw away the wooden stick and replaced it with her kitchen knife.
There is a technique to catching crabs, you have to grab them from behind. Holding their backs will make it much easier to catch them. If you grab them from the front, they will be pinched by their claws and easily get hurt.
After a long battle of wits and courage, she finally tied up the crab firmly and stuffed it into her backpack, followed by the next one.
The advantage of having a large number of people is that everyone has their own responsibilities and the division of labor is clear.
Some, like Fu Tian, were catching crabs, others were making fish traps and putting bait in them, and some stayed behind to chop wood and make fire. It was truly a one-stop service.
Perhaps because it was a dungeon, the supplies were particularly plentiful. It didn't take long for the group to reap a bounty.
Since it is about capturing rather than killing monsters, the ingredients harvested are not directly cut into pre-packed shapes, but are whole, and dissection is still required.
The chefs stepped up spontaneously.
Fu Tian, having satisfied his craving for crabs, also took the initiative to step forward.
She had already thought about how to eat it when she caught it: first, she steamed the whole crab for its original flavor. Then, she made crab roe steamed eggs, using bird eggs that the team members had collected. She also scavenged the meat from the cooked crab claws and topped it with a piece of braised eel in soy sauce.
One bite and you’ll get a full and rich feeling.
The freshness of the crab meat completely covers the fishy smell of the eel. The taste of the sauce is rich and fragrant, and the eel is fat but not greasy, and the taste is amazing.
For those who like crab roe, they wrap a piece of crab roe, which is as big as a marble, with a whole eel and put it in their mouth. It is so chewy. Then the crab roe explodes in their mouth, and the feeling is truly extraordinary.
Fu Tian tried all kinds of delicious food.
The crab roe is rich and crunchy, while the steamed egg is smooth, soft, and fragrant. And the crab claws, as big as small white melons, peel open and reveal a whole piece of meat, giving you the feeling of eating meat.
Wow~ So cool~ So satisfying~
Just a crab feast made Fu Tian feel that the trip was worthwhile.
It took over two hours for the group to finally eat and drink their fill. The energy provided by the crabs and eels allowed them to temporarily stop worrying about fatigue.
But to be on the safe side, everyone still prepared a lot of food and put it in their backpacks for emergencies.
After eating, it’s time to get down to business.
Many teams had already cleared the primary dungeon, but this was their first time at the intermediate level. They were essentially a pioneering team, with a lot to do.
Tang Ji did not just hire random people. Among them were experts in surveying and painting who were able to easily figure out the route and make maps.
To maximize efficiency, the 1,000 people were divided into two teams, led by Fu Tian and Tang Ji respectively. One team headed towards the interior of the island, while the other team headed towards the sea outside the island to see where the barrier of this dungeon was.
Communication with each other is limited to once every two hours.
After the agreement was reached, Fu Tian led more than 400 people to head towards the interior of the island. They did not take the previous road, but went in another direction.
Even so, the group was greeted by sand.
Tian Xiaoling wiped her sweat as she walked behind Fu Tian. "When you first came here, was it also a large expanse of sand?"
Fu Tian nodded softly, feeling a little worried.
Equally concerned was the person who asked, "You think it's not all sand here once you walk in, right?"
The weather was incredibly hot, and walking on the sand seemed to burn the skin off the soles of my feet. If the roads ahead were all like this, it would be terrible.
With this in mind, the entire team marched for an hour. Fortunately, they soon saw a large area of woods. The moisture in the air increased significantly, and even the temperature dropped significantly.
The appearance of the forest greatly increased everyone's confidence, and their pace of progress became much faster.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the edge of the forest. It had been six hours since they entered the dungeon.
Last time in the primary dungeon, they should have encountered a snake tide at this point. But at this moment, the surroundings were silent.
This unusualness made Fu Tian feel somewhat uneasy.
