Chapter 166 Desert Survival Day 25 (4) There is something I don’t know…
Could it be that if I touch the rock with my bare hands without any medium, I will be targeted by something?
Yu Miaomiao tried to touch the wall slowly and looked around. Not only did she not see anything that looked like eyes, but the feeling of being stared at was gone too.
Could it be that this thing knew that it was being observed, so it hid?
I haven't heard anyone say that rocks can turn into monsters, nor have I heard anyone say that they have encountered any super-large monsters in Devil's Bend. Could it be that the feeling of being spied on is caused by small creatures in the cracks of the rocks, such as spiders?
"Hua Bie: I didn't pay much attention to the heat at the time, but I just felt that the stone was strange. When I looked closely, that strange feeling disappeared."
"Meow Meow: Yeah, I was like that just now. I touched it carefully and it felt like a normal stone wall."
"Hua Bie: I guess it's that feeling of being watched, brought on by the little monster in the crevice. I happen to have a Devil's Bend expedition card, so I'll go in and take a look."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Yeah, be careful."
The other two people in the group chat today also went to different numbered Dark Oasis expedition sites. Ah Pi was still saying, "The more you go to an expedition site, the less scary it feels. Plus, you gain a lot every time. If you have an expedition card, you can go all the time."
But Yu Miaomiao didn't think so... She even told them what she had seen, just to make them more cautious.
Even if she were to die now, she would still regularly draw survivors from her own adventure post to answer questions about the Dark Oasis adventure area.
She usually chooses to reply to the messages of the day one by one when she returns to the base at night. By night, when she clicks on the nicknames of the few survivors who left messages during the day to reply, the system prompts that the other party has gone offline.
This phenomenon is not accidental, but happens every day.
The only situations where one could die during the day are strong sandstorms, expeditions, and rare man-made situations, such as murder.
Now, not to mention metal houses, most people have upgraded their houses to brick houses, so it is unlikely that they will die in today's strong sandstorms. The only possible situation is that they will die in the expedition site.
Therefore, even if you go to the simplest dark oasis, you may lose your life if you are not careful.
If it wasn't for the purpose of developing better, getting a higher ranking, and collecting all the cards that could restore the world to normal as soon as possible, at least Yu Miaomiao was unwilling to take the risk of losing her life at any time. She didn't have such a strong sense of adventure, she just wanted to live well.
After walking along this road full of bloody cats, we came to a new fork in the road.
Looking around, you can see countless crimson and reddish-brown cliffs and mountains connected together, which is very magnificent.
The mountains on both sides are high and steep, and the tops are out of sight. There is no sun and clouds in the adventure area, but these mountains are too high, and the higher peaks are already blurred, as if hidden in the clouds.
These scenes are actually to let the survivors know that once they come in, they cannot get out without an adventure card, unless they go back to the entrance and then go out.
The scene in front of him was beautiful, but Yu Miaomiao had a question: why was such a towering red mountain not seen by anyone in the desert world? Even Huabie had to use the resource search function to find it, but it could not be seen with the naked eye.
She remembered what Yingying had said before, that the place where the strange piles were located would be surrounded by long-term sandstorms. Could it be that those sandstorms were meant to block the view of the exploration site, while the strange piles were meant to protect the exploration site from being discovered?
She did not ask Hua Bie to confirm these things again, because unless there was a special situation that required her to speed up the progress, she could not travel around like him just to find new places to explore.
The roads on both sides are at the bottom of the valley between two peaks, separated by a stone wall more than one meter thick. One side of the stone wall is covered with reddish-brown flowers, each of which consists of three petals. Only when you get close to smell it can you smell the sweet and astringent taste of the pollen.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a cardamom, but why can't it be put into the backpack?
She took out the cardinal flowers from her backpack for comparison. It turned out that the real cardinal flowers had four petals. It seemed that she needed to observe carefully when collecting them.
There is no obvious difference between the left and right sides, except for whether there are flowers growing on the side of the stone wall.
She took note of this feature and walked into the path where the wall was covered with flowers.
Three meters away, there was a small cave in the cliff wall, but the height of the cave was much taller than her, and she couldn't reach the entrance with her hand.
Standing closer and gesturing, I saw that the cave was about five or six meters high, and the entrance was covered with spider silk, with a small brass treasure chest hidden inside.
There should be longicorns in the cave to protect the treasure chest, but the entrance to the cave is made of spider silk. What kind of little monster is in there?
No matter which one, she had to push aside the spider silk and take out the treasure chest quickly.
If you are not tall enough, you can use a table.
Objects made by the system, such as stools, cannot be placed in the expedition area, and even the workbench she made herself cannot be placed here. There is only room in her backpack for a dining table.
After placing it, she was about to climb up when a strong wind blew over. She quickly put it into her backpack before the table was blown away.
The strong wind is coming again, how can I get the treasure chest?
How about she remember it next time she comes?
What if the wind is still this strong next time she comes? Or what if she can pass the level today but misses the treasure chest?
She tried to wait for 2 minutes, but the wind didn't weaken at all. It seemed that she had no choice but to crawl.
There are also people who manufacture climbing tools outside. At first, no one understood why such things were necessary for survival in the desert, because they were of no use on the sand dunes. But until more and more people went to Devil's Bend, they understood the reason.
Fortunately, Yu Miaomiao found someone to do the work early. Now, those who can make climbing tools have a queue of three days later. She knows someone who can do this, and that is Ziren.
Today she saw that Ziren actually posted new OEM items in the OEM post, including climbing tools.
She saw someone leave a message saying that Ziren's outsourcing fee is now twice as expensive as before, but some familiar people came out to speak for him, saying that they have been in the desert for 25 days now, and it is normal for outsourcing to become more and more expensive. After all, everyone now has a lot more supplies than before, and they have gained a lot from exploring during this outsourcing time. Everyone should feel fortunate that Ziren is willing to come out to do the outsourcing.
The familiar names were not those of the Tiandihui, but those who were ranked in the middle of the adventure site strategy rankings.
If it were in the past, she would definitely not have noticed it. Now that she knows that Ziren has turned against her, and the people who are speaking up for him happen to be a group of people who often go to the expedition site, doesn’t this just prove that he is in collusion with Yiwan Watt?
After he was kidnapped, the murderer didn't allow him to take on a lot of work unless he completed the daily quota. But now he is willing to let him out to take on work again. Is he about to give up on this person and ready to take advantage of him enough, or has Ziren reached some kind of cooperation with them, so that he can not only chat freely, but also move freely.
Yu Miaomiao sighed and looked at the stone wall in front of him.
She had never rock climbed before, so she could only try it based on the postures of climbers she had seen in her memory.
She first grabbed the high and low protruding parts of the rock with both hands, making sure her fingers were firmly stuck in the cracks of the rock and would not slip, then she used the strength of her fingers and legs to push herself up.
After climbing up two meters, she felt that it was not that difficult. It seemed that it was a right decision to improve her physical strength and power before coming here.
Fortunately, the treasure cave was not high and she could reach the entrance in just a few steps. The difficulty lay in the fact that she had to crawl with a heavy load.
If she didn't carry any weight, her whole body would be blown away by the wind, let alone climbing.
After reaching the vicinity of the cave entrance, she climbed up two more steps and used a small machine to nail the rock into the rock just above the cave entrance. Suddenly, she heard a "Yi Yi Wu Wu" sound in her ears. The sound was very miserable and made her body tremble.
Even though her body was shaking, she still held on to the rock tightly with both hands, not daring to let go for a moment, and her feet were firmly planted, so she didn't fall down due to the shaking just now.
Looking down, if I fell from this height, I would definitely be injured. That damn scream.
The screaming sound soon passed. She pulled the rock bolt, confirmed that the bolt was firm, and then hung the rope on her body on the rock bolt.
After making sure the rope was securely tied, she tried loosening one leg to feel the firmness of the nail, then crawled towards the hole on the side.
When taking the treasure chest, she had to use both hands to get it out as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if the little monster in the cave got the upper hand and pulled the treasure chest in, all her climbing would be in vain.
She slowly released her hands, bent her knees and pressed against the rock. After making sure that her body was pressed against the wall and did not fall, she leaned back a little bit. After making sure that she was at an angle where she could attack with both hands at the same time, she immediately pushed aside the spider web, reached out and grabbed the treasure chest and took it out.
Through the dark cave, she could see eight hairy spider legs about to clamp down on the treasure chest. But at this moment, she had already brought the treasure chest in front of her and quickly opened it. The legs retreated and the cave entrance was empty.

A climber sounds like a good thing, something that could be used right now, but she can't use it in the expedition area. Api, Lulu, and Huabie are also in the expedition area. Ziren is unreliable, so who else can she ask for help...
At this moment, she happened to hear the "ding ding" sound of incoming message.
"Yingyingguai: Sister Miaomiao, there's something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: If it's inappropriate, then don't talk about it."
Can Yingying be trusted?
As far as she knew, Lulu was with her every day, so it should be believable. After all, Yingying was also Hua Mi's real-life friend, right?
"Yingyingguai: Sister Miaomiao, why don't you play by the rules? At least tell me 'it's okay to say it'."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: If you want to say so, then say it."
"Yingying Monster: Sister Meow Meow, do you know, mmm, it's just..."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I don't know. If you are so hesitant, you should stop talking. Are you exploring the area?"
"Yingying Monster: Not here, Lulu went to explore the area early this morning, and Huabie brother also suddenly ran in just now, so I have to stay and guard the house."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Could you please help me make a craft? I need it urgently."
