Chapter 186 Desert Survival Day 28 (4) Besides killing her,...
After passing through the second hidden passage, Yu Miaomiao had already walked through five mazes, with only the last two left.
She could already smell danger and her heart became even more nervous.
Looking at a homemade mine trap she had just passed by, she made up her mind. Since the two of them didn't want to give anyone else a chance to live, she didn't have to worry about accidentally killing a good person.
The durability of the invisibility cloak decreases as it is worn for a certain period of time. Currently, it only has 17 points, but she still has food that can make people invisible, so she is not worried.
“Ding ding.”
"Pangpang: Sister Miaomiao, let me give you these silent shoes. No one else will come in here, so it's safe."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Good."
The shoes fit perfectly, but I wonder how uncomfortable it must have been for the "One" to drag himself along in them. He was wearing something invisible, and he wondered if he would have thought that the items he had robbed were not his after all, and that he would have to "spit" them out one day.
The shoes on her feet were washed by Lulu and looked very new. With these shoes, Yu Miaomiao was almost completely invisible in this adventure area.
In the penultimate maze, there were several recently dead monster corpses lying on the ground, covered with broken-toothed ladybugs. These ladybugs were as big as a fist, had no teeth, and relied entirely on their mouths to suck the corpses.
Through their translucent skulls, you can see the sucked flesh flowing in their bodies, which is very disgusting.
It takes ten minutes for these ladybugs to eat up a corpse, which means that the two people left here not long ago.
Yu Miaomiao looked at the progress of these two people and found that it had only increased by 1%. Was it because their strength was not that good, or were they hiding somewhere?
“Ahohohoho——”
The sound came from the monster guarding the branch road behind her.
The monster so close is not dead yet. It means she hasn't killed it yet, or it was left for her.
There was absolutely no way the monster could sense his Turtle Breathing Technique, it could only have been triggered by those two people.
Which branch road are they on?
Or... they triggered something that forced her to fight, and then she was like a mantis stalking a cicada while the oriole was behind.
The monster guarding this branch eats these ladybugs. Some colorful ladybugs can be seen flying towards that branch in the air. These ladybugs not only eat carrion, but also actively attack humans. However, when they passed over her head, they did not notice her.
The intersection she had just passed was a hole that led to many directions. It was very likely that they had triggered the branch monster and then used some fast-moving item to return to that place and guard it.
Her strength was not enough, and there were only two of them. She couldn't fight head-on, so she only had two choices.
Should she fight the monster guarding the branch road, or crawl into the secret passage crawling with insect eggs under her feet?
Currently, her progress in the maze forest exploration is 4%. She has opened all the boxes that can be opened on the way, and she does not plan to increase the progress by using the branch guardian monsters.
She looked at the tunnel, which was still covered with ladybug eggs. No one had ever been there.
After passing through this secret passage, you will immediately reach the next maze.
"Bang"
Just as she hesitated, a bullet shot towards her sleeve. Before another shot arrived, she used insect repellent and snake repellent and dived into the disgusting passage.
The advanced shield helped her block the damage, and the durability of the invisibility cloak instantly dropped to 2 points.
The bullet was shot from a tall tree, the only place in this small maze that could be used to overlook the terrain, so she was particularly careful.
Because she had to take a detour to get to that place, she didn't go under the tree to check, but whether she stood in the blind spot and observed with a telescope or used a thermal detector, there was no sign of human.
There were many poisonous snakes on that tall tree, and it was very difficult to climb up. When climbing the tree or handling these snakes, there would definitely be noise, but she didn't hear any movement before the gunshot.
This means that the person has been waiting there all the time.
One person goes to lure the monsters, and the other one squats and shoots. They don’t explore, but just squat?
They had been at the expedition site for 12 hours, staying there just to ambush someone?
This is such a waste of time.
If the person who comes here doesn't have much supplies, wouldn't the day be wasted?
If they wanted to defend themselves, at most they could set up some small man-made traps like what Yu Miaomiao had seen before, instead of guarding them with great effort like they were doing now.
There is only one possibility, they are sure someone came in.
Was it because he saw her name, or was it because the cuff of her invisibility cloak was exposed? Judging from the bullet, she was no longer invisible and was trying to counter-ambush.
Passing through this underground passage filled with disgusting insect fluids, although all the insects in the holes had been driven away by anthelmintics, the sticky and slippery touch still made her feel very nauseous.
It is hard to imagine how Huabie found this path. Judging from the information at hand, every blade of grass and tree in this maze forest had been dug up by him.
Those two people will definitely not be able to find this place.
After passing through this passage, she came to a maze in front of the final treasure chest.
In fact, there is a high slope in the last maze that is suitable for ambush. Why did they choose the previous maze?
This is because the high slope is very close to the final treasure chest area, and they are afraid of attracting the final monster.
Xue Yingtao and the other person have been in this adventure site for more than 12 hours. Currently, the exclusive rights to this adventure site belong to Yu Miaomiao. She can only decide whether other people can continue to enter, but she does not have the right to kick anyone out.
So now, is the final boss the strongest monster that Xue Yingtao and the others have ever seen, or is it the strongest monster that Yu Miaomiao has ever seen?
Hopefully, she had seen it before, so it would be easier to deal with. She needed to open the final treasure chest before the two of them arrived.
According to normal walking speed, it would take the two men half an hour to get here, unless they also came through this tunnel.
They didn't know about this passage before, but when they saw that the entrance was messed up, they knew it was a tunnel. However, they definitely didn't dare to go in because they didn't know what the world outside the cave was like, and she had already placed a mine at the exit of the passage.
She only had half an hour to fight.
According to the map, she didn't take any other branch detours and went straight to the final boss venue. She needed that anti-fall airbag.
On her way to the final area, she encountered her first Brilliant Gazing Scorpion. The guide had already given her a hint, so she didn't even need to use a thorny rose. She could just point at the flower to mark the direction and angle, and with the help of night vision goggles, shoot a poisonous arrow that pierced the scorpion's eye.
The arrow was extremely accurate and hit the monster's eye exactly.
After Scorpion fell to the ground, she came to the final boss.
The final area of the maze forest was not as big as the other two adventure areas she had visited before, but... the final boss was the same one - the zebra cat.
A sturdy and furry monster was resting in a corner, with a treasure chest full of jewels in the center.
Why does it look like it has no intention of guarding the box?
Yu Miaomiao moved closer, and the other party just raised his eyelids and looked at her with a pair of green eyes.
The eyeballs are all different colors, it’s not my little cutie.
She was actually very annoyed by the system's behavior. In the end, the boss did give her the monster that was easiest to deal with, but it was the monster she was most reluctant to deal with.
Every time she clears the level and touches the final treasure chest, Xiaoguai's clone will disappear before her eyes.
If she felt uncomfortable performing for the observers who were monitoring the survivors, she felt that it was even more painful to see Xiaoguai's clones turning into ashes again and again.
She already had 80 pieces of roasted wolf meat in her bag, and she herself couldn't tell whether it was for dealing with monsters in the expedition area or for Xiaoguai.
When she approached the treasure chest, the napping monster finally responded.
His eyes were full of warning, devoid of any emotion.
She suddenly felt a little scared.
She was not afraid of the monster in front of her, but she was worried that one day Xiaoguai would become a normal monster and would no longer have any feelings of intimacy towards her, but only murder and ruthlessness. How would she deal with it?
A piece of roasted wolf meat was thrown out, and the monster that was about to pounce suddenly changed its eyes.
The zebra cat, which was about to stretch out its claws, immediately stuck out its curious head and stared at the meat on the ground with greedy eyes.
This clone was very alert, so she couldn't be impatient when dealing with it. Even though she knew there was danger behind, she could only stop and wait for it to taste her first.
The replica slowly approached the piece of meat, sniffed it, and took a bite with its teeth.
The aroma of burnt food filled its mouth, its eyes lit up, and it immediately swallowed the whole piece.
Yu Miaomiao continued to use various props to coax her, but she felt more and more uncomfortable.
She used the old method again and again to gain the trust of the clone. Each repetition was like the process of building trust with Xiaoguai in the beginning. To her, it was like taking advantage of Xiaoguai again and again. Finally, she opened the treasure chest.
Listening to the system sound, I watched as the replica of Xiaoguai, who was jumping around with a ball of yarn just now, slowly turned into ashes.

Turning around and leaving the place, she tried her best to avoid seeing the disappearance of the clone.
She got the things, but she didn't plan to leave now. Those two people were most likely the ones who shot her.
If she couldn't capture them alive and find out the truth, she didn't mind killing them in the expedition area. Now she couldn't have any other distracting thoughts in her mind. Yu Miaomiao quickly walked back to the entrance of the tunnel.
The monsters in the entire dungeon turned to ashes the moment she opened the final treasure chest.
The monster disappears, but the treasure chest remains.
She was betting that the two men guessed that she would be reluctant to give up the treasure chest. After all, she had not left since she came in, hiding all the way to the final treasure chest. It was obvious that she was reluctant to waste the adventure card and wanted to open more items.
If those two people knew that all the treasure chests were gone and still came looking for her, then they had no other intention except to kill her, which was even more in line with her heart.
The plants in the maze forest are very low, and countless broken-toothed ladybugs are hiding on each vegetation. They will firmly suck any animal or human who tries to crawl through the bushes, and finally use the corrosive liquid they spit out from their mouths to corrode and stick the crawling creatures until they cannot move, and then suck them clean.
But all the monsters in this area have disappeared. It is estimated that it will take the two of them less than half an hour to climb over the low bushes and more than ten minutes to get here.
After arranging everything, she squatted behind a shield and waited quietly.
"rustle"
"Crack"
There was a sound from the ground in the distance, but no one was seen.
It seems they also have invisible food or clothing.
But the news that Api got was that the other party did not have any invisible items. Did Ziren lie to Api?
Yu Miaomiao doesn’t think so.
It should be those people who are still hiding something from the new member Ziren.
Perhaps they both sensed something was wrong and stopped moving together. One stopped where he was, while the other walked towards a corner.
This corner is the last hiding place marked by Huabie on the map.
The vegetation here is lush, with unpicked summer flowers, and it is also the only way to reach another branch road.
Without the monster, the entire place was unusually quiet. The two men noticed that the footsteps were too loud. The one who was standing still walked to a bush and set up a device in the void.
