"I'm leaving." Lin Xiaoman simply said hello.
"Huh? Where are you going?" Jasmine asked immediately after being surprised, "Can I come with you?"
"It might be dangerous, whatever you want."
After leaving this sentence, Lin Xiaoman followed the direction of the pointer and moved forward.
She hesitated for several seconds, then saw a wave of sand wolves spawn in the distance. Jasmine immediately trotted after them, "Meizi, wait for me, I'm going too."
After catching up with Lin Xiaoman, Jasmine continued running forward without stopping, shouting, "Wolf, wolf!"
Lin Xiaoman turned around and killed two of them with a knife. Jasmine in front circled around and came back with the remaining two sand wolves.
Kill it with a sharp knife.
The drop is a blue bead.
Solved, continue...
We walked, walked, and killed any monsters we were attracted to. If we encountered people, we would avoid them. There were no accidents along the way. We walked for more than an hour and estimated that we had walked more than five kilometers. When we climbed up a sand dune to check the situation, Jasmine excitedly pointed in a direction and said, "Meizi, look, it's an oasis!"
After taking a look at the green spot in the yellow, Lin Xiaoman looked at the compass again, and the needle was pointing at the green.
The boss may be hiding in the oasis.
After confirming the target, another quarter of an hour passed and I could almost see the whole picture of the oasis. It was not very big, about the size of a basketball court, with less than ten large trees. The trees were lush and green, and there might be a water source hidden among them, or there might be groundwater underneath.
From a distance, there was no sign of the suspected BOSS, but Lin Xiaoman could vaguely see that there seemed to be fruits on the tree, which might be props.
As the oasis got closer, Lin Xiaoman suddenly discovered that there was someone there.
A group of figures emerged from behind a sand dune in the distance. Judging from their direction, they were also heading towards the oasis.
Lin Xiaoman stopped moving forward, chose a sand dune, hid himself there, and observed secretly.
After observing for a while from the shadows, as the group approached the oasis and the distance between them gradually closed, Jasmine spoke with a hint of surprise, "Meizi, it's the army! Should we go over? We'll be safe if we follow them!"
"No."
Lin Xiaoman shook her head decisively and wanted to complain, but she had no emotion to complain.
"oh."
Disappointment flashed across her face as Jasmine stared at the team of more than twenty people over there, feeling hesitant.
Should she curry favor with the military?
Although it is safer to follow the army, they won’t share her money!
Ah, what a dilemma!
Too lazy to pay attention to Jasmine's complicated mood, Lin Xiaoman continued to observe, and even moved slightly. But no matter how she moved, the compass always pointed straight to the oasis.
Conclusion: There must be something in the oasis.
The military had more people and she couldn't compete with them, so Lin Xiaoman decided to just give up.
Observe for a while longer, maybe when the props here are gone, the compass will point to the next one.
Up ahead, a troop of more than twenty people from the federal government arrived at the edge of the oasis. After a careful observation to make sure there were no monsters, they entered.
"Reporting to the platoon leader, we have found some fruit that looks like it's edible."
"Take four or five people with you and go pick some."
"yes."
Several people climbed up the tree and headed towards the fruit.
It was just a few trees and an area the size of a basketball court. It was visible at a glance. After a brief observation, the platoon leader ordered, "Stand guard, everyone else rest where you are."
Except for those on guard duty, the rest of the soldiers found their own places, some to drink water, some to take a nap. There were many people, but few red beads. Unless they were injured, they would not eat the red beads.
So these people are different from Lin Xiaoman, all of them are in a state of fatigue and sleepiness.
During the break, the wind blew through the small woods, rustling the leaves. Just as the platoon leader was about to take a short nap, a black shadow flashed in his peripheral vision, and something rose from the ground.
"Small……"
After just one word was shouted, screams rang out.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a long, steel-like whip emerged from the sand. With a stab, the tail spike at the end, which was more than half a meter long, pierced the soldier on the tree like a bamboo stick and pierced the tail spike. The attacked soldier did not die and was still screaming.
"Help!" the platoon leader shouted, and fired the gun in his hand at the long steel tail.
As the long tail rose high, the entire ground began to shake, as if there was some huge monster below that was about to break out of the sand.
"Oh no, it's a big monster, retreat! Retreat!!" the platoon leader shouted hurriedly.
A group of people ran out quickly while shooting.
But the bullets seemed unable to cause any harm. The long steel tail with the people on it swung to the front of the forest, and a huge black hole appeared in the sand over there.
The tail spike sank into the sand hole, and when it rose again, the person on the tail spike had disappeared.
Then, with a sweep of the long tail, another person was pierced through, becoming meat on a skewer and being sent into the giant mouth.
"Damn monster!"
Two soldiers died at once. The platoon leader cursed with red eyes, watching the others retreat from the woods, "Get down!"
With a loud shout, the platoon leader threw the bomb with all his might into the woods.
Two seconds later, boom!
Because the distance was a hundred meters, Lin Xiaoman, who couldn't see anything, didn't pay much attention to the military group after they entered the woods.
While looking for a nearby monster spawning spot, a deafening explosion immediately attracted Lin Xiaoman's attention.
"W-what...an explosion?" Jasmine, who was originally resting, jumped up in shock.
Looking towards the small woods, one in front and one behind, they saw a huge steel scorpion emerging from under the yellow sand.
And that small forest grew entirely on the back of the giant scorpion.
"Hiss!" Jasmine gasped, "Wow, so big..."
Could she defeat such a huge monster? Should she run away now?
While she was still hesitating, Jasmine saw Lin Xiaoman running away.
Lin Xiaoman was not worried about the giant scorpion, she was worried about being hit by a stray bullet, so she stayed away.
There was no need to hesitate now, Jasmine immediately ran after her.
In the rear, as the giant desert scorpion emerged, the military group was the first to bear the brunt. Those who did not have time to run were directly grabbed by the giant scorpion and sent into its mouth.
"Fire, fire, kill it!"
The platoon leader shouted loudly and opened fire at full force, and all the bombs on his body were completely hit by the giant scorpion.
Others did the same, using all kinds of weapons, even rocket launchers.
Unfortunately, the giant scorpion's defense seems to be surprisingly high. After experiencing wave after wave of artillery fire, it is still full of fighting power. With its two large pincers and tail, it can put anything it catches into its mouth.
The battle lasted less than 10 minutes and the whole team was wiped out.
Seeing that there was no movement behind, Lin Xiaoman stopped, and Jasmine, who was running out of breath, also stopped.
Perhaps because it was out of target range, the desert scorpion did not catch up.
