Chapter 169 Desert Survival Day 25 (7) Battle with Blood Monkey 2…
A huge monster would be tripped by such a small object, which is insignificant to it. Apart from the system's malicious taste, there must be other reasons.
Yu Miaomiao continued to attack. Just dodging would not work. She had to hurt the opponent so that she would have a chance to get close to the treasure chest while it moved slowly.
Time passed by bit by bit, with only five minutes left in the countdown, and half of the treasure chest had sunk into the ground.
She had used the blood dripping dart to cut off the giant blood monkey's fingers three times, including one of its index fingers.
Although the fingers grew out quickly each time, she found that they seemed to grow slower and slower.
As she fell on the rock wall for the Nth time, she found that the stones rolling down from the top became lighter in color.
The originally reddish-brown stone turned into a light flesh color.
Why do rocks change color?
Before falling to the ground, she once again used the jet device and sickle zipline to reach the blood monkey.
Today's monkeys can no longer be called blood monkeys. The bright blood color on their bodies slowly fades and turns red, as if their blood is also slowly dissipating.
This monster seemed to be shorter than when I first saw it, probably shrunk to about seven or eight meters in height.
Could it be that the longer the battle goes on, the weaker its energy becomes?
That’s right, its movements have also slowed down a lot. If this continues, the monkey will probably get weaker and weaker.
But Yu Miaomiao couldn't wait. Even if it was small enough to be killed easily by the end of the time, the treasure chest would be gone by then.
Based on the speed at which the treasure chest sank into the ground, she felt that the countdown corresponded to the treasure chest.
The rocks faded.
If the rock was really as she thought, the red color must be filled with the blood of various animals.
As the battle prolonged and the monkey monster was injured, the blood slowly disappeared. Does that mean that the entire rock was providing blood nutrients, that is, its life and fighting energy, to this giant monster?
To verify her guess, she moved closer, and before the stick swept over, she saw the small hole between its toes, and countless drops of blood were slowly winding under the giant monkey's paw.
She hadn't noticed it before because the monkeys and the rocks and soil were all reddish-brown, which concealed the process of the blood droplet absorbing back. Now that the blood color has faded from the soil, she can observe this tiny blood flow process.
Could she understand that every movement of this giant monkey required the consumption of blood left by countless animals and absorbed into the rocks? What if it couldn't absorb it?
Just like when it stepped on the banana puree just now, the mushy puree separated the monkey's paw from the rock, so it did not absorb enough "energy" at the moment it stepped on it, causing it to slip and kneel on the ground.
So now when Yu Miaomiao fights with it, it always deliberately avoids the banana yellow mud, for fear that it will be isolated by this unknown mud again and unable to absorb energy - blood.
She wasn't sure how long the blood absorbed from the rocks could last, but it certainly wouldn't be gone in just one or two seconds. She already had a plan in mind.
“Puff—”
She turned on the jet device and heard a deflated sound from behind. The air inside had been completely consumed by her battle with the monkeys in this area.
The jet device can be repaired, but she can't repair it in the expedition area and she doesn't have time to find someone else to do it. She does have a spare in her backpack, but it's very troublesome to wear, and she can't tell the system to put it on hold now.
Carrying this empty item with its own weight, she could only wait until the fight was over before taking it off.
Now that she has guessed the monkey's energy source, she has to find a way to cut off this energy supply.
Mashed bananas can hinder blood circulation, but what about water, highly concentrated salt water?
She only knew that adding warm salt water to pig blood would make the blood coagulate, and she didn't know whether the seawater she had collected from the melted hail in the past few days would have any effect. Anyway, she could get seawater every day, so it didn't matter if she used it up. She had to give it a try.
Because she had been wearing light wind shoes, her physical strength dropped quickly, so she simply used a stimulant directly through the advanced backpack expander and ran towards the treasure chest.
While running, the holographic backpack interface was not closed. She poured out a bottle of saline solution almost as she took out a bottle. Finally, she took out two large buckets of saline solution that she had stored and poured them all down.
Looking sideways, she saw that the sea water did not seep into the ground, but slowly spread out on the rock and soil. The blood monkey did not see what the transparent liquid she poured out was. She only saw the human running straight towards the treasure chest at an extremely fast speed. She also became anxious and swung the stick to hit her, but she dodged.
After seeing the air being struck, the blood monkey ignored the injuries on its body and swung its stick, while the monkey body chased after it. One of its steps was equivalent to dozens of steps of Yu Miaomiao.
When it stepped into the sea water, its knees bent uncontrollably and its legs fell to its knees uncontrollably. It used a stick with one hand to support the ground so that it would not fall down.
"Bang--"
There was a splash of water behind her. Since it worked, she couldn't let the monkey get close to her again.
Yu Miaomiao quickly splashed out all the sea water on her body, and while the blood monkey was still not standing up, she used the sickle flying rope to quickly fly towards the treasure chest. She didn't bother to look back to see the "pop" sound of the monkey slipping and standing up again.
Just when she was about to fly to the treasure chest, a strong wind blew and she was instantly blown back to the ground in the air. No matter how hard she stretched the zipline, she could not fly forward because the wind resistance was too great.
The monkey was restrained, but there were only two minutes left before the treasure chest disappeared. She had just put the weight bag back into her backpack for convenience in combat. Now she could only hang the weight bag again with both hands, add the jet device on her back, increase her body weight, and walk quickly towards the treasure chest in the strong wind.
With every step she took, the wind grew stronger, as if the eye of the wind was right at the treasure chest, and just to prevent her from getting closer, she had to get closer!
The rocks were hitting her face and the miserable screams of ghosts were coming from her ears, but these could not affect her. She was only concerned with the silver treasure chest on the ground that was covered with centipedes.
In 1 minute and 30 seconds, she was almost there, but the wind was so strong that if she lost her balance even slightly, she would be blown over. She took a deep breath, balanced her body, and concentrated a few steps to move to the treasure chest.
The strong wind was still raging, but it didn't blow away any of the centipede legs that were clinging to the treasure chest.
Since coming to this apocalypse, she had no idea how many times she had challenged things that she had once been extremely afraid of, and at this moment she could not retreat.
She could no longer hold any weapons or knives in her hands, so she simply tore off a centipede that was completely lying on the treasure chest and threw it into the wind.
When she grabbed the slippery centipede's back, the nearby centipedes seemed to sense the approach of humans, and those that were close immediately stretched out several hooked legs and stabbed at her hand.
If a few of them stabbed the shield, the shield might be able to withstand it, but just now more than a dozen of them stabbed it at the same time, and the shield dropped 19 points in an instant.
The countdown was 40 seconds, and only the silver lid of the treasure chest remained on the ground, while the rest of the chest had sunk into the ground.
She thought the eye of the storm was in the middle of the treasure chest, but when she got closer she found out it wasn't. That made it easy. Yu Miaomiao took two more steps forward and sprayed the insecticide she had been reluctant to use towards the treasure chest in the direction of the wind.
A pungent potion was sprinkled on the treasure chest, and the centipede legs that had originally wrapped around the treasure chest loosened one by one.
There were only 20 seconds left, and she had no chance to wait for the bugs to die. Her shield still had 30 points, which was enough to hold out for one or two seconds even if she was bitten by the bugs.
Yu Miaomiao used both hands to push away the centipedes that were wrapped around the seams of the treasure chest lid. Some of them were not yet dead and were still stabbing her hands with their barbs. She resisted the urge to retract her hands and opened the treasure chest lid.
[Failed to trigger the Lucky trait. Expedition gift pack: Stimulants*2, Screws*18, Iron Ingots*18, Refined Iron Ingots*8, Slime*101, Bones*5, Hides*26, Titanium Ingots*4, Antidote Recipe*1. Has been stored in the system warehouse.]
As the system sounded, the wind and sand did not stop. The centipedes that had not been sprayed to death turned into powder and drifted away with the wind. The centipedes that had not yet crawled out had already drilled into the ground after being stimulated by the pesticide.
The blood monkey that was originally crawling and moving in the distance has slowly turned into a yellowish-brown color, motionless, and its body is shrinking rapidly.
As it became smaller and smaller, the armor slipped off its body and drifted away with the strong wind.
The thickness and thinness of it are obviously just a few pieces of cardboard, and it can't be called armor at all.
This system was really good at using deception. The realistic armor made her think it was indestructible, but it turned out to be made of paper. During the battle, her focus was all on her limbs, and her head could not be hit at all.
Not long after, the monkey, who was originally full of fighting spirit, turned into powder bit by bit and disappeared with the wind.
Expeditionary zone strategy progress: 14%.
Opening a treasure chest guarded by a monkey will increase your exploration progress by 10%?
Could this be some secondary boss? Before Yu Miaomiao could even sigh, the rocky mountain surrounding her, which had faded to flesh color, was collapsing bit by bit.
