Chapter 122 Desert Survival Day 13 (10) This is not an oasis...
After using it, Yu Miaomiao's body instantly became lighter, and her movements of raising her hands and taking steps became smoother.
Her agility value increased directly from 66 points to 166 points, ranking third in the agility value ranking, only 8 points lower than the first place Iris and 6 points lower than Huabie.
She was just complaining about her bad luck today, but she didn't expect to get such a good thing from the treasure chest.
The agility value increased so much instantly. Besides improving her ranking, how else does it actually help her in combat?
The news about "Didi" Huabie came very quickly this time.
"Hua Bie: It's a bit strange. The talking birds' beaks open and close, spitting out a plump, round thing that looks a bit disgusting. But I don't think it's the birds themselves talking. It feels like this area has been exposed to a hallucinogenic drug, so when I see the birds' beaks open, I hear them talking. And the words they say happen to be familiar to me. Maybe they're reflecting scenes from my memory to disturb me."
Unexpectedly, Hua Bie observed so carefully that she could even see the ostrich's tongue clearly. She was annoyed by what the birds said and just wanted to kill them quickly.
Hua Bie thought it was an illusion because the words he heard were similar to those in his memory.
But Yu Miaomiao didn't think so, because she knew Yue Yina well enough, so she was very confident that Yue Yina would never say that. Yue Yina would either do it directly or take the blame herself, and would not let anyone have a bad impression of Miaomiao.
She thought that the system must be using the tried and tested trick of speaking like an ostrich to make others feel the same as Hua Bie, so that people would ignore some of the things they wanted to hide.
At present, it seems that the sound released by the system happens to be the voice of the person the current survivor cares about, or the words of someone who was once afraid or frightened. Its purpose is to make the survivor relax his vigilance and submit obediently.
But this trick didn't work in front of Miaomiao.
Whether it was her grandmother who she had never fought back or scolded in the past, or other relatives, or her best friend who had always taken good care of her, now she not only dared to kill them immediately, but could even find flaws in the system's design that wanted people to be careless.
"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: I think it's probably not, because the voices I encountered didn't sound like what the person in question would say. I suspect the system simply collected our real-life information and sounds and used special means to simulate these scenarios. With AI technology so advanced now, and the apocalyptic world we live in so realistically, it's not impossible that there might be more advanced means..."
Before she finished inputting her thoughts, she heard other rustling sounds. After quickly sending the message, she took out her weapon and prepared to fight.
"rustle"
"Gaba"
The woods behind her were filled with the sound of branches snapping, which was unusually noticeable in this quiet adventure area.
"Crash" "Crash"
Standing on top of the lawn, she quickly noticed bee monsters emerging from the lakes on either side.
So where do bees come from, the water?
No, it was three bees floating over from the distant lake. The cunning catfish in the water were disturbed by the movement on the water surface and jumped out of the water one after another to eat the bees.
Kill each other? That's great, I hope these fish can help her deal with the patrolling monsters.
But the fact is that the way the bee monsters arrive is set by the system, so their distance from the water surface is just where the cunning catfish cannot bite them.
Standing back at the edge of the grass slope, she saw four bees in the pile of trees walking along the path she had opened. However, they were a little fatter than her, and they kept pushing the branches with their shields as they walked, so they were not walking very fast.
By this calculation, the patrol monster in the lake arrived first.
This time there were 7 of them, but she didn't want to use the shotgun first, as she wanted to try out how effective the battle would be after her agility value increased.
The three reached the shore simultaneously and flew up along the lawn.
Yu Miaomiao confirmed the durability of the shield and did not wear inflexible armor. She took out a crossbow and shot at the patrolling monster in the middle. At this time, she did not hold an umbrella, and the three monsters almost rushed straight towards her.
“Whoosh—”
An arrow formed a horizontal line with the lawn and pierced the patrolling monster's head at a very fast speed. The bee monster that was shot did not die completely, but its movement was hindered.
There was no problem with the accuracy, and I didn't know whether it was because the crossbow was not powerful enough or I was not strong enough.
Before the next arrow could be shot, they flew right in front of me.
At this time, the weapon in Yu Miaomiao's hand had been switched to a horizontal sword. When the two fastest flying bee monsters arrived, she took two steps in advance, grasped the end of the horizontal sword tightly, and chopped it across the left side of its neck. While the blade was sinking into its head, she used her body to drive the handle, and the person and the sword moved to the right at the same time. After the horizontal sword chopped off the current monster's head, she immediately used it to chop towards the bee monster on the right.
The two bee monsters were killed by her with one knife.
The last monster flew over, shaking its head from side to side.
In order to exert better force, she calculated the distance and pulled it down hard. When she pulled out the blade, she still had enough strength to stab the last and slowest moving bee monster again.
She carefully avoided the side where it held the shield and swung her knife towards the side of its body where it held the gun. After the blade penetrated 2 centimeters, she turned sideways and lifted it up, directly chopping off half of its body and half of its head.
The whole process was smooth and flowing, her thoughts and actions were almost synchronized, and she killed the three bee monsters cleanly and neatly.
The bag was not dropped.
She turned around, changed to a crossbow, and shot at the four bee monsters that had just squeezed out of the pile of trees as she walked.
“Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—whoosh”
After the four arrows were shot out, there was a sound of breaking through the air. Each arrow hit their heads. A wooden arrow was stuck in the head of each bee, and there was even more distance between the bee monsters that were originally lined up in a row.
Yu Miaomiao wanted to end the battle quickly, so she ran down the grass slope. Using inertia, she raised her knife to the side of them, pointed the blade at each head, and swept it down in a swooping motion.
Four heads fell to the ground at once.
Still no bag.
He glanced back at the results of his battle. Not only was it fast, accurate and ruthless, but it was also very decisive. He even nimbly dodged the last attack when the dragon was about to strike him. His body had indeed become as light as a flying swallow.
The battle ended quickly, but the consequence was physical exhaustion.
She quickly ate a tangerine, but it still wasn't full, so she had to eat another one and start again.
There was less than half an hour left before the card drawing at noon. She had to reach the main road before the card drawing. It would be best to use the pause time for the card drawing to kill a few more monsters.
It took very little time to get back to the "intersection". Thanks to the four bee monsters that came and cleared a clean passage for her, she got out much faster.
When she returned to the pile of trees, she was still holding the umbrella. Thinking that they might have to fight for a long time, it would be inconvenient to hold an umbrella. After thinking about it, she decided to send a message to Ziren.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I'm in a rush to fight here, and I'd like to ask if the oversized sun-weather hat is ready?"
While waiting, I can reply to Hua Bie's message.
"Hua Bie: So you suspect this apocalyptic system isn't selecting people randomly, but rather has a fixed population long ago, or perhaps it's been lurking in the real world, collecting massive amounts of information, and then created this world, luring us in?"
"Hua Bie: Why do you guess so? Do you know any other secrets about this place?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I don't know, this is just my guess."
Before Yu Miaomiao could come up with more guesses, three scavenger birds appeared above her head again.
They came at a tricky angle, right above her, so she had to run a few steps away before shooting them. Fortunately, her movements and archery accuracy were several times better than before, and she killed them with only four arrows.
After dismemberment, there is still only mucus.
"Is Ziren here? There was a huge sandstorm here just now. This is my first time making this and I'm not very skilled. Even with goggles, I couldn't see the workbench clearly when the wind and sand were so strong, so I couldn't start. Now the wind and sand have passed early, I can finish it in five minutes."
In five minutes, she had just enough time to eat another rice dumpling.
Yes, she was hungry again.
Yu Miaomiao discovered that although eating pomelo could quickly replenish lost physical strength, this physical strength dropped very quickly after exercising. It seemed that the physical strength replenished by this fruit was just an imaginary number. It was fine as long as she didn't move, but once she started moving, she would soon feel exhausted.
The rice dumplings were not only filling but also tasted great. She was glad that she had opened five of them. She had wanted to leave them outside the expedition area to enjoy them, but now she only hoped that there were three left to eat.
After thinking about it, it's no wonder that when Hua Bie first came here, there was no food in the items he traded for himself. He must have consumed a lot of energy in the expedition. For someone like him who doesn't trigger luck, there will be much less food in the items, probably not enough for him to eat.
After eating the rice dumplings, the faint aroma of glutinous rice and meat on the rice dumpling leaves disappeared into the air. Yu Miaomiao took off the cuckoo feather crown and put on the hat made by Ziren on her head first.
The hat is a bit big and can accommodate three people when fully opened. It looks about the same size as an umbrella. Tighten the fixed wearing rope under the neck.
After putting it on, put the Baojuan feather crown back on your head. The headband of the feather crown can be stuck just above the brim of the hat without affecting each other.
There are drawstrings hanging on both sides of the head. By pulling them, you can adjust the curvature of the umbrella. You can pull the umbrella in front of you down into an arc-shaped umbrella, or you can straighten it into a completely parallel umbrella.
Umbrellas are useful, but I don’t know if hats are useful.
After making all the adjustments and confirming that it would not affect his movements, Yu Miaomiao took out his sword and chopped at the second sparse tree trunk.
This time, with a conical hat on her head, she was able to cut out a larger space for walking, especially above her head. She only needed to cut fewer branches to pass through the body.
Only then did she realize that the scope of tree felling she had envisioned and the actual result were exactly the same. Walking through this section of felled path, every branch almost passed by the brim of her hat or body, and she would not be caught by a branch like last time.
By the time she had walked out of this section, she had her crossbow raised and poison arrows ready.
After squeezing through the narrow aisle, the view suddenly widens.
In front of us is a wider oasis area, and all kinds of monsters are on the endless grassland.
The grass was even softer and felt sticky when stepped on. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the sand was covered with a thin layer of blood plasma. Every time I took a step, the soles of my feet would get stuck in the blood.
The soles of Yu Miaomiao's sneakers were soon soaked with blood, which made her feel very uncomfortable. The whole space was filled with a strong smell of blood. This was not an oasis, but rather purgatory.
The nearest young mammoth was chasing a fox head and playing with it. It was seen using its nose to push the unrecognizable head around, and it didn't notice Yu Miaomiao's presence at all.
This was an animal with yellow blood stripes, so naturally it didn't see her.
In the distance, groups of mammoths were running on the grass, occasionally shaking up a bloody mist on the ground.
Occasionally, they would suddenly kick an unknown animal with their front legs, crushing its internal organs. Occasionally, they would swing their spurred whips into the air, knock down birds in the sky, and swallow them in one gulp.
Even though Yu Miaomiao had been fighting monsters for several days, she still couldn't help feeling nauseous when she saw the intestines, excrement and blood clots everywhere.
The sand on the grass was actually very thick, and the constant flow of blood seeped into it. In some places where the blood was so thick, yellow flowers even grew.
In addition to mammoths, there are also giraffes that swing their necks up and down constantly. When fighting with mammoths, they will stick their necks to the ground, then sweep across the ground to trip the mammoth, and then jump onto the elephant's body with all four legs, and use their extremely sharp horns to stab the elephant. When the mammoth is dying, flocks of scavenger birds rush down to share this large beast with the giraffes.
Everything was far different from what Yu Miaomiao had expected. She paused for a long time before continuing to move forward, trying her best to ignore the discomfort in her feet. She also sent a message to Yueyue asking for the shoes.
The young mammoth just threw the fox's head in front of her. Yu Miaomiao wanted to try whether her hat was useful. When she was very close to it, she changed to an ordinary arrow and shot it.
The arrow just pierced the baby elephant's ear. It cried out in pain, and looked aimlessly in the direction of Yu Miaomiao, looking around anxiously.
It seems that this hat is useful, so that's easy.
Its calls seemed very small in this area filled with the sounds of various animals. This was also the rare place where she could hear the sounds of animals after entering the oasis.
In the second half of the oasis, patrolling monsters will no longer appear once every two hours, but every hour, and the frequency of scavenger birds appearing will also increase.
Yu Miaomiao and Hua Bie discussed that the noise from the monsters in the second half might be louder, so they increased the probability of patrol monsters and scavenger birds appearing.
It seems that this pile of trees not only isolates the monsters on both sides, but also has the function of reducing noise.
He drew the bow again and shot another arrow at the elephant's head. "Woo-woo!" This time the elephant cried out even louder. Its trunk was flapping in the air in anger, and its tail was sweeping the floor repeatedly, trying to sweep out the person who attacked it.
It seems that the arrow cannot penetrate it. According to Hua Bie, he chopped it with a big knife.
She picked up the knife, walked to the side of the baby elephant, and swung the knife at the front legs of the baby elephant, which was half a body taller than herself.
After breaking one of its legs, the baby elephant immediately knelt on the ground. Before it could make a louder cry, Yu Miaomiao cut its throat with a knife and it died.
Just as she was about to take out the meat cleaver to dismember the beast, two adult warlike mammoths came running from afar.
They stared at the dead elephant with fanatical eyes, and although they were not running fast, they made the whole ground sound "bang bang".
Is she in big trouble?
At this time, Yu Miaomiao had no time to regret why she had provoked the baby elephant. Instead, she quickly changed her poison arrows and shot them at the fastest adult mammoth.
I don't know whether it could see or feel it, but it suddenly shook its nose in mid-air, knocking the poison arrow away.
