Chapter 165 Desert Survival Day 25 (3) Why is it called Demon...
Yu Miaomiao did not wait for the new monkeys to return to their original place, but instead shot them with his bow, taking advantage of the absence of wind and sand to kill them one by one.
When she shot the seventh one, she realized something was wrong. The monkeys on this gravel road kept coming. Whenever one died, a new one would take its place, and it went on and on.
Forget it, she has decided to take this road, she wants to see if the end of this road is a monkey's den.
She chose this path because the monkey's health bar is red, which means it is an actively attacking monster, while the hairless red-skinned cats biting each other are yellow, which means they are passively attacking monsters.
At that time, Iris mentioned a point that monsters that actively attack often appear on side roads.
As she walked along this road, she could feel something sticky on the soles of her feet, but when she really looked, there was nothing there. She lifted her feet to look, and saw a layer of red on the soles of her feet. She lifted her feet and smelled them, and there was a hint of bloody fragrance.
Yes, it was the smell of blood, but it also had a scent like a quilt that had been dried in the sun. It was strange but not offensive.
Not long after each monkey was shot to death by her, it would slowly turn into ashes starting from the soles of its feet, just like the characteristics of the treasure chest guardian monster.
Yu Miaomiao was very careful along the way. She walked past the monkey corpses lying in a row. They turned into ashes very slowly. When she passed by, they had not all turned into ashes, and there were no bags on the ground.
But in order to pass the level as quickly as she did in Dark Oasis every time she came, she needed to carefully check the crevices and rocky areas to make sure that the treasure chests in every area were opened.
In some places where the ground is soft, there are treasure chests buried.
After digging with a shovel, a rusty treasure chest appeared before his eyes.
Theoretically, the treasure chests in Devil's Bend are not locked and can be opened directly by flipping the lid.
Before she could dig out the lid of the treasure chest, she heard the ghost crying again. Just when she was distracted, a large number of earth-yellow centipedes immediately emerged from the ground.
Each centipede was very thick and long, half as wide and long as an arm, with a bulging body full of yellow pus, and looked very scary. At this time, the bottom of the treasure chest was grasped by countless centipedes with their legs, and was being pulled into the ground little by little.
Yu Miaomiao suppressed the fear in her heart and used a shovel to break free the centipedes' legs that were clinging tightly to her. She used all her strength to smash the centipedes' bodies into two pieces, not caring about the splattering bright red blood. She hurriedly used her hands wearing protective gear to lift the treasure chest.
The moment she stretched out her hand, several thicker centipede legs with hooks immediately stretched out from the soil and pierced her fingers. She opened the treasure chest and retracted her hand and took a few steps back when she heard the system sound.

It was just an ordinary treasure chest, but it was so difficult to open. She checked her fingers and luckily they were not pricked. She would rather the box had a lock than have to face these scary bugs.
I looked at the durability of the intermediate shield. It had dropped to 90 points, but now there are only 89 points left. It should be that the shield helped her block the damage.
The treasure chests in the Devil's Bend have no locks, but they are very difficult to open. If you are a little slow, the treasure chest will be pulled into the ground by the strange insects underground, and the treasure chest will be gone.
As for whether it will appear in other places, no one knows until it is completely cleared.
The moment you dig up the soil, you must open the treasure chest as quickly as possible, but as soon as you see the treasure chest, you will hear that ghost scream.
Yu Miaomiao took a deep breath. She had to adapt to the sound and not let anything affect opening the treasure chest, otherwise she would have to fight against those bugs.
Just as she opened the treasure chest, eight more monkeys walked up to her face.
When digging for the treasure chest, she moved at a relatively slow pace to ensure that she was in a state of rest and not discovered by the monkeys.
Until the treasure chest was about to be dragged away by the centipede, she had to open it quickly. The monkeys who took the initiative to attack immediately noticed this human. The monkey standing in the front stretched out its long arms and slapped her belly.
Why the belly?
Yu Miaomiao chopped off the monkey's arm, which was only enough to reach his stomach, and then smashed the monkey's body with a hammer.
Her wolf-tooth hammer was very powerful, and she thought she would kill the monkey directly. However, the monkey in front of her caught her hammer with its remaining five arms, and then made the same ghost-like "whimpering" sound. The seven monkeys behind it immediately used their arms and legs to support themselves on the ground and ran towards her quickly.
Instinctively, she felt that she couldn't be entangled by the monkey, otherwise it would be very troublesome. She acted decisively and bent her body horizontally to chop the monkey that caught her hammer.
Another burst of blood splattered.
After this monkey died, the seven others behind it immediately stood still. Although she didn't know the reason, at least now was the time for her to continue looking for the treasure chest.
When she found a cloth bag in a crevice of the rock, a new monkey came from a distance, and the monkeys that had been standing still ran over again. This time there were eight of them, each making annoying noises.
Yu Miaomiao tore open the cloth bag in a second. When the system sound came out, a spider popped its head out from the gap and then shrank back.
There are centipedes underground, spiders in the cracks, and a longhorn beetle in the hole, but she hasn't encountered it yet.
The leading monkey reached out to her waist again. When Yu Miaomiao cut off its arm, the second monkey also reached out to slap her. After she chopped it down with a knife, she did not rush to retract the blade, but chopped towards the waist of the second monkey.
After the second one died, the first one became motionless, and screamed loudly with the same shrill ghost cry.
The first few times she heard this sound, she could still feel the misery in these strange noises, but now she just felt it was noisy.
Doesn’t the system understand that calling out once affects people, but after calling out many times they will get used to it?
While the monkeys were still, she continued to move forward and opened another rust treasure chest before the new monkeys arrived.
She was not in a hurry to kill all the monkeys at once, because the monkeys would keep respawning after they died until there were 8 of them. She only needed to kill the monkey closest to her.

Until she opened the eighth treasure chest, a rock suddenly emerged from three meters away like a bamboo shoot, blocking the road behind her. The monkey that was originally running towards her slowly turned into ashes.
So these eight monkeys are all treasure chest guardians, no wonder they can’t be killed.
In fact, there might be a real treasure chest guardian monster behind the rock, but the road is blocked, which meets the conditions of the end of the branch road, so she doesn't need to care about those.
【Name: Monkey Toy (1/1)
Level: 15
Description: Monkey Hug!
Attributes: Release within a designated five-meter radius. The monkey's arms will encircle the nearest monster in front of it and will not release until all six arms are severed. If the current monster dies, it will search for the next target to bind until there are no new monsters within the five-meter radius.
Although it is a disposable item, it is a good item that can help her control monsters.
She planned to use the special plants she harvested from the planter box in the maze forest. After all, the effects and range of the special plants were much more powerful than this monkey toy.
Yu Miaomiao recorded the location and condition of the treasure chest, then turned back and walked towards the road on the other side.
Just now, when she passed by the monkey group, she saw all kinds of broken internal organs scattered on the ground. It turned out that they were food that the monkeys were fighting over.
Now when she walked back to the hairless spotted cat, she realized that all those hearts and livers came from these red cats.
The cats tore the meat apart, only eating the meat and gnawing the bones. The remaining internal organs were all carried bit by bit by the red longhorn beetles to the cracks in the rocks. I think they were meant to be given to the monkeys on the opposite side. But now the monkey group is gone, so who are these longhorn beetles going to carry them to?
Could it be that the longhorn beetle monster here is like the hamster monster in the Dark Oasis?
If that's the case, what kind of monster is the longhorn beetle transporting the food to?
When she got in front of the hairless cats, she could see clearly that their skin was not actually red, but had traces of blood on its body.
The spots on their bodies are blood holes. Strands of blood flow down their drooping tails and ankles, into the ground, and are instantly absorbed by the rocks. Therefore, they cannot be called hairless red cats, but blood cats.
Each cat's face was extremely ferocious, as if it wanted to bite off all the cat meat around it.
Just below where they were fighting, there was a raised mud area, which should be a treasure chest.
The first time she came, she planned to check all the areas that could be checked so that she wouldn't have to waste more time up front the second time.
The entire Devil's Bend mechanism, as Hua Bie described it, is filled with ghostly screams.
There are no patrol monsters or scavenger birds here, only...
Falling rocks.
At this moment, a large piece of rock quickly slid down from the stone wall on the right side and rolled faster and faster along the sloping wall. Fortunately, she was on guard and took a few steps back to avoid the heavy blow of the falling rock.
"Bang"
"Zi"
The falling rocks happened to be right next to the blood cats. The eight blood cats were smashed into meat paste and splashed all over her shield.
The blood drop slid down the shield and fell onto the hard stone ground. Yu Miaomiao could only see clearly at such a close distance that at the moment the blood drop fell into the hard rock, an extremely tiny hole opened and sucked the drop of blood in.
After the blood was sucked in, the small hole closed quickly. If it wasn't right under her eye, she wouldn't have noticed this tiny movement at all.
Will rocks open holes for no reason to absorb blood? Perhaps only a doomsday system could come up with such an abnormal setting.
There will be only one or two falling rocks at the beginning, but as you reach the middle and later parts, there will be piles of large and small rocks falling one by one. Not to mention dodging them, there will be no place to step.
Hua Bie and Iris had no idea how to crack it, but Yu Miaomiao thought that the answer might be in these treasure chests. As long as she could open all the treasure chests, she would be able to get the corresponding props.
Walking around the fallen rock, she could see that the rock had broken into more than a dozen pieces. Each piece of rock would open a small hole, absorb a drop of blood, and then open another hole on another side of the stone to continue sucking blood.
The blood-sucking hole was constantly changing, and the speed of sucking blood was very fast. If she had not just seen the movement under her feet, she would not have deliberately observed the falling rocks.
Could it be that the rocks in Devil's Bend are all blood-sucking monsters...?
Thinking of this, she felt a little horrified. If this was true, wouldn't she be surrounded by a huge monster, or a large group of monsters, all under her feet and around her?
Devil's Bend, why is it called Devil's Bend... Is it just because the monsters and environment here make ghostly howling sounds?
There was a piece of rubble covering the raised mound of earth she had just noticed.
She put on her armored gloves and moved the stone away.
The moment she touched the stone, for some reason, she felt an uncomfortable sensation in her heart, as if she was holding a warm, hard object.
To confirm her guess, she picked up the stone again, but it was gone, the touch was gone, the feeling was gone too.
She put her thoughts aside, dug up the mound of earth, and quickly opened the treasure chest, not giving the centipede a chance to pull the treasure chest down.

Not triggering luck has become her normal state now. She only hopes that luck will be triggered when opening an important treasure chest.
As she walked along this path, she carefully examined every crevice in the rocks and even knocked on every rock one by one.
Before each knock, she felt like she was being stared at by something, but when she looked up, she saw nothing but earth-red stone walls, with no eyes or anything like that.
Looking around, there were no other living creatures except for the bloody cats that appeared from time to time.
This feeling is so weird.
After thinking about it, she sent a message to Hua Bie.
"Meow Meow: Are you there? Did you come into contact with any rock faces or falling rocks when you went to Devil's Bend?"
The other party replied quickly.
"Hanabie: I only moved one fallen rock, what's wrong?"
"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: Did you feel that the stone was hot when you moved it, but when you touched it the second time, it was just an ordinary stone?"
"Hanabetsu: When you touched the stone, you felt like something was staring at you, right?"
Yu Miaomiao's words and Hua Bie's message came at the same time.
It turns out he feels the same way.
This feeling of being watched only occurred to her when she hit the rock wall, not when she encountered the falling rocks.
If there was any difference between the two touches, it was that when she was groping the rock wall, she did not wear gloves for the sake of convenience and to make it easier to find the earth wall.
