Chapter 27 Desert Survival Day 5 (8) The Cleaver Has a Magical Use...
The mud monster in front of him was still wandering around the fire, as if it was blinded by the firelight.
When Yu Miaomiao walked out of the wooden house, a greedy and ferocious light flashed in the mud monster's black eyes. With every step she took closer, the mud monster became more excited.
It flew straight over the fire, not caring about the sparks from the moss on its body being rubbed off by the fire, and rushed towards Yu Miaomiao with its legless body.
Before Miaomiao could get close to the fire, the mud monster came up to her. She quickly raised the stone axe in her hand and chopped at its head.
Because he raised his hand in a hurry, the axe did not have much power. After the axe handle penetrated the mud monster's head an inch, it was stuck to the thick mucus in its body and could not be chopped any further. Yu Miaomiao had to pull back the stone axe by force.
At this time, strips of water grass grew out from under the mud monster and climbed towards her feet along with the sticky mud. Her feet were firmly stuck to the ground and she couldn't move an step.
She read the most posts about combat, but no one had ever said they would encounter such a situation. Of course, it could also be that those who had encountered it were no longer around.
She was now less than two meters away from the fire, but no matter how she struggled, her feet seemed to be firmly glued to the ground and she could not move forward.
No matter what the mud monster would do to her, whether it would kill her or eat her, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
Yu Miaomiao used a stone axe to cut the water plants, but after she cut one, a second one grew immediately and stuck to her axe. She needed a lot of force to pull it apart.
She cut the grass much slower than the water grass grew, but the water grass seemed to grow faster but it was difficult for it to cling to her body, and it needed to be stacked layer by layer before it could climb up.
It was already difficult to lift the stone axe, and Yu Miaomiao knew that his physical strength must be very low.
Since the water grass didn't tie her hands, she simply took out the energy drink from her space backpack and drank the remaining half bottle in one gulp.
His physical strength surged instantly, and the water plants under his feet had entangled his legs like two dumplings, but he was still slowly climbing upwards.
Are you treating yourself as a wall of ivy?
Yu Miaomiao didn't care about anything else. She gritted her teeth, gripped the axe handle, and chopped at the mud monster's head with all her strength.
When the axe was halfway through, it seemed to be stuck. Yu Miaomiao pulled the axe out again and continued to swing it.
He did this back and forth three or four times, like chopping meat, and finally the stone axe hit the mud monster's lower body.
Not only was Yu Miaomiao covered in mud by the mud monster in front of her, but the water plants on her body also wrapped around her waist.
She didn't dare to stop. She chopped down for the last time and finally felt that she had touched a hard lump. No matter how hard she pressed the axe handle, she couldn't chop it down any further.
The mud monster in front of me has been split into two, and its body is full of mud and water plants. No wonder it is called a mud monster.
Yu Miaomiao took out a small Swiss Army knife with his other hand and stabbed it towards the lump along the gap.
As she pierced the lump, the mud monster completely lost its vitality, and the water plants slowly shrank until they withered.
It was only then that Yu Miaomiao realized that this mud monster would corrode the house, but what about his own skin?
Sure enough, green marks appeared where the water plants had attached. Now that they were no longer covered by the water plants, they felt a little stinging.
Yu Miaomiao hurriedly took out the bandages and endured the pain to wrap the bandages around her legs. Fortunately, she had prepared five bandages, which were just enough at this time.
The area covered by the bandage immediately felt a tearing pain, accompanied by a burning and stinging sensation on the skin. It must be that the bandage had some kind of medicinal effect.
Since his feet could no longer walk, Yu Miaomiao could only lie on the ground and use his elbows to move his body to crawl to the fire.
Between the wooden house and the campfire, Yu Miaomiao felt that the campfire was safer. After all, after two days of fighting, she found that except for the turkey, every animal had a natural fear or confusion about the campfire.
Opening the temporary chat box, she sent a message to Lulu.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I have run out of stone axe for the time being, so I will return it to you first."
"Is Lulu here? You should keep it for now, just in case the beast comes again."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Haven't there been any wild beasts over there yet?"
"Is Lulu here? A bird just appeared and kept flying around my roof. It's not threatening at the moment."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Do you have a bow and arrow? That bird should be an ice thorn bird. It is good at close-range ice spike attacks, but its eyesight is poor. You can try to shoot its eyes with a bow and arrow, maybe you can kill it."
"Is Lulu here? I don't have a bow and arrow..."
Yu Miaomiao had a crossbow in her backpack that she couldn't use, so she thought she might as well lend it to Lulu first.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Have your wisdom and strength reached 35? If so, I will lend you my crossbow. I also have other weapons."
"Is Lulu here? I've got both of these values at 35, but I don't have any arrows..."
When Lulu said this, her face turned red and she was very embarrassed.
Yu Miaomiao thought that she had just escaped from a difficult situation, so she decided to help him to the end.
"Meow Meow: It's okay. I'll lend you 5. Try them. Do you have any bandages?"
"Is Lulu here? Yes, yes, yes. I have two left. I'll give them both to you."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Just give me one. Only if you live well can you do more things."
This was the second time Yu Miaomiao had said this to her, and this was also what the game system had been saying to all survivors from the very beginning.
Yu Miaomiao could feel that Lulu was a person with a very pure nature. From the beginning, she seemed cold and taciturn but was stubborn in repaying her kindness. Now, she wanted to repay her kindness with a spring.
In the real world, Yu Miaomiao has come into contact with too many people who come with interests and purposes, not to mention that she has been subjected to verbal violence and threats from countless people in the end times.
Just for the bandage Lulu gave her, she sincerely hoped that Lulu could live well.
You know, for all survivors, medical supplies are currently the most scarce materials. Those who were injured last night and are still injured in fierce fighting today are still begging for medicines on the world channel.
This bandage was more than enough to exchange for a bow and 5 arrows, and Lulu traded it to Yu Miaomiao without caring about the price of the supplies.
As time passed, the pain in Yu Miaomiao's wound gradually disappeared, replaced by an itchy feeling as the wound healed. This itching was much more obvious than yesterday's wound. I don't know if it was because the spray potion was effective yesterday, or if the mud monster's wound was like this today.
After his legs felt less painful, Yu Miaomiao simply stood up and stretched his muscles, and soon received Lulu's message.
"Is Lulu here? Sister Meow Meow, I did it. I shot that bird down."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Are you not hurt?"
"Is Lulu there? No, I shot three arrows, then secretly went out with a torch and retrieved the arrows. I did this four times before I finally shot it down."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Do you have a meat cleaver? You can get more things by dismembering the body with a meat cleaver."
"Is Lulu here? No..."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I have one here, you can use it first, and return it to me after you are done."
Lulu didn't say much. After accepting the transaction, she returned the crossbow and three arrows to Yu Miaomiao.
Not long after, Yu Miaomiao received Lulu's message again.
"Is Lulu here? Sister Meow Meow, I'm out of meat cleavers. I got the recipe for [Snake and Insect Repellent Potion], do you want it?"
Snakes and insects?
So far, all the survivors have not encountered any insects or snakes. Will they appear soon?
The thought of snakes makes my hair stand on end.
Bugs, what kind of bugs could it be?
Scorpions in the desert, or even smaller insects that can get into any hole.
"Meow Meow: This is a good thing. Keep it for yourself. In this world, the more you master, the more resources you will gain. If the blueprint in your hand is a technological production blueprint, it can also increase your wisdom by 1."
"Is Lulu here? Okay, the system really never gives useless things. Let me see what ingredients are needed to make a potion. I can prepare it in advance just in case."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Well, tonight is not over yet, the main thing is to be careful of wild animals."
In last night's battle, Yu Miaomiao was alone against dozens of monsters. Now that there was someone to share the results of the battle in real time, she felt much more at ease.
I just killed a shiny mud monster. It didn't trigger any quests, but my wisdom value did increase by 1 point.
Since others can dismember good things, will she also get good things if she has the lucky trait?
Yu Miaomiao looked at the mud monster in front of her that was almost split in half by her. If its feet had not been entangled by it, she would have thought it was a little cute.
Its body was made of light yellow mud and covered with water plants, lying motionless on the ground.
Its corpse was not as scary as that of ordinary animals. What was flowing out was not blood, but green pus with the fragrance of fragrant grass. Yu Miaomiao gestured at its corpse with a meat cleaver. As soon as he cut it, he heard the system sound.
[Successfully triggered the Lucky trait. Decomposed to obtain 3 fresh Baba leaves, 4 mucus, and 2 raspberry seeds. Stored in the system warehouse.]
Fresh baba leaves are one of the raw materials for fresh baba soup, and raspberry leaves are also fuel that must be added to the firewood when cooking the soup. The only thing left is the snapping mushroom.
It was only then that Yu Miaomiao realized a problem. This mud monster looked like something that came from a lake or swamp.
The snap mushroom sounds like a mushroom-like plant, and mushrooms will not appear out of thin air in such a desert place.
Therefore, there must be a desert oasis in this so-called desert apocalypse.
An oasis means more food, resources and wild animals.
She didn't know whether the resource search function unlocked yesterday could search areas that had not been visited in the future, including places like the oasis. She clicked on the map to look at the upgrade progress bar, and sure enough, a small mark had been added.
Since she acquired this function, the progress bar has changed and it seems to be at around 5%.
I don't know if the progress will increase by killing monsters, or if only the shiny ones will work.
When she finished thinking, no new monsters had appeared. It seemed that she would finally be able to deal with only one or two monsters at night like everyone else.
Yu Miaomiao, feeling relieved, received another message from Lulu.
"Is Lulu here? Sister Meow Meow, I have another Ice Bird here. It's glowing. Is there any difference between it and an ordinary bird?"
"Meow Meow: From what I've heard, shiny beasts have stronger attacks and more varied attacks than regular beasts. You can keep this crossbow tonight, and I'll lend you 10 more arrows."
"Is Lulu here? Okay, thank you, Sister Miaomiao."
According to what she saw other people discussing on the forum, these monsters either appeared in groups or one by one at intervals, and it seemed that they had gotten through the night safely.
