"We're surrounded!" Shen Jue said in a low voice, his expression turning serious.
Everyone realized this and couldn't help but tense up, their palms sweating.
However, the jacarandas surrounded them, leaving them with no way to break through.
Shen Jue knew in his heart that if they could not find a solution soon, they might very well perish here.
"If we become invisible now, is it too late?"
"It's too late. The Jade Lizard's perception is very strong. It's too late for us to become invisible now." Shen Jue shook his head, rejecting Zuo Zuo's suggestion.
Zuo Zuo looked disappointed, but quickly regained her composure. She knew that Shen Jue's decisions were always well thought out.
Right now, they must come up with another solution as soon as possible to deal with the current crisis.
Although invisibility didn't work, this idea caught Shen Jue's eye; she had come up with a good solution.
Shen Jue took out a smoke bomb from his backpack. They didn't usually use this kind of tool when they were exploring.
With Zuo Zuo's reminder, they can use smoke grenades to create a good hiding environment for themselves.
"We can use smoke bombs to disrupt the Jade Lizard's senses, giving us enough time to become invisible," Shen Jue suggested.
Zuo Zuo nodded, agreeing with Shen Jue's suggestion.
They swiftly and skillfully threw smoke grenades in the direction of the Jade Lizard. Instantly, a thick cloud of smoke filled the air, obscuring the Jade Lizard's vision.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Jue and the others quickly concealed themselves.
But it's not over yet. The smoke bombs alone aren't enough. Within Shen Jue's mental perception range, the Jade Lizards show no signs of stopping their encirclement.
Could it be that these jade-scaled lizards have a special way of sensing that allows them to perceive their presence?
In this urgent situation, Shen Jue made a quick decision to try other methods to interfere with the Jade Lizard's perception.
She immediately pulled a can of powder from her backpack. It was an interfering agent made of special materials that could effectively block the Jade Lizard's senses.
After becoming invisible, Shen Jue carefully sprinkled the interfering agent around her. At the same time, the others also used smoke grenades as cover to quickly spread the interfering agent throughout the area.
Soon, the interfering agent and smoke bomb combined to produce an even stronger interference effect, greatly weakening the Jade Lizard's perception ability.
With the help of jamming agents and smoke grenades, Shen Jue and the others were finally able to evacuate safely.
However, this was only the beginning of their operation.
According to the plan, they need to go deep into the heart of the oasis to trigger a side quest.
In the next phase of the operation, Shen Jue and several other team members continued to venture deeper into the heart of the oasis.
They knew that the success of this mission largely depended on whether they could successfully trigger the side quests.
As they ventured deeper into the oasis, Shen Jue and the others discovered that it was far more complex than they had imagined.
Besides the blue-scaled lizard, they also encountered various other dangerous creatures, such as poisonous scorpions and giant pythons.
Despite the cover provided by jamming agents and smoke grenades, they still need to remain vigilant at all times to deal with any unexpected situations that may arise.
After traversing a dangerous swamp, Shen Jue and the others finally arrived at the heart of the oasis.
Here, they discovered an ancient ruin.
The ruins were surrounded by a mysterious atmosphere, as if hinting that this was the location where the side quest they were looking for would trigger.
Shen Jue and several other team members decided to enter the ruins to find out more.
They wandered around the dense forest ruins for most of the day and found a stone tablet covered with mysterious runes.
After deciphering the runes on the stone tablet, they finally succeeded in triggering the side quest.
[An Oasis on a Deserted Island - Find the "Tears of the Oasis." Current island exploration progress: 98%; current side quest progress: 0%.]
"Tears of the Oasis, what kind of stupid quest is this? So all that hard work has turned into a quest we don't even understand?"
"Don't panic yet, let's study this carefully."
"How come we don't understand these runes? Do we have some rune experts among us?"
Shen Jue: "Cough cough!"
Yang Kele: "Hmm?"
"Sister Chen, really? You know this?"
Shen Jue: "I used to play games a lot, especially those weird and wonderful rune games. In order to pass the game, I often had to look up a lot of ancient rune knowledge. It just so happens that I know a little bit about this rune."
The others: You probably know more than just a little bit.
Lu Qingyuan: "What does this rune say?"
Shen Jue touched the runes, comparing them with the knowledge in his memory. "This is the script of an ancient civilization, similar to a code. Based on my experience playing those games, this script often represents some kind of powerful force or mysterious treasure."
Yang Kele's eyes widened: "So, the 'Tears of the Oasis' we're looking for is a mysterious treasure?"
Shen Jue nodded: "Very likely. However, deciphering this rune is only the first step; we still need to find the exact location of the 'Tears of the Oasis'."
Lu Qingyuan: "What are your chances of finding a way to break this?"
Shen Jue: "Seventy percent."
Great, that means it's secure.
