Chapter 60: Desert Survival Day 9 (3) Using the Turtle Breathing Technique to Steady the Long...
Yu Miaomiao hurriedly tried each finger, and only the little finger could move. Although it was a bit awkward, it was fine as long as he could shoot.
Aim the aiming circle at the bee's head, hook your little finger firmly, and pull the trigger.
"Bang"
Fortunately, although the bee flew fast, its path was straight. This time, Yu Miaomiao gritted his teeth and made sure he remained motionless as he fired the gun.
Just as I could see the strange facial features of the bee, the bullet instantly blew the round bee's head into pieces.
Blood splattered everywhere, the bee monster stopped flying, and fell to the ground staggeringly.
Yu Miaomiao waited there for a while, keeping his gun raised, carefully observing whether there were any new patrolling monsters attracted by the gunshot.
Five minutes passed, and no new patrolling monsters appeared. Instead, the little camel from the beginning walked over from a distance.
Yu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief, put down the shotgun, and rubbed his numb arms and fingers.
She didn't expect that this gun, which looked smart, would be so difficult to use.
Theoretically, there would be no monsters that would actively attack within two hours of walking. Yu Miaomiao put the gun into his backpack and continued looking for the treasure chest.
She tried to pick all the plants on the roadside that looked different from shrubs and cacti. Some of them could actually be put into her backpack, such as flax leaves and osmanthus leaves, and she got quite a lot.
In just half an hour, she had collected no less than 5 of each type of plant. Now she was very sure why Hua Bie always got a lot of types of things every time he came, but the quantity was not that large. It was probably because he was too lazy to collect them.
According to Yu Miaomiao's current progress in collecting supplies, he would definitely have a great harvest in 12 hours.
When passing by the little camel, I saw it kicking its feet, trying to reach the flower growing on the top of the cactus, but no matter how hard it tried, its deep red tongue could not touch any petals.
Yu Miaomiao didn't say anything and continued walking forward until she saw a small green puddle that emitted a foul smell and a treasure chest in the puddle.
As I got closer, I could see that there were small bubbles coming out of the muddy and sticky puddles.
The pungent smell came from the green smoke surrounding the treasure chest.
Not only was the lock on the treasure chest rusty, but the entire iron sheet of the treasure chest was also covered in rust, and tiny bubbles were constantly bubbling on the surface of the iron sheet.
The water looked very unclean and was definitely not drinkable. Yu Miaomiao immediately gave up the idea of collecting the water here.
No, it's not only dirty, it should have a corrosive effect and be harmful to the human body. You can see it from the treasure chest.
It’s not possible to put the treasure chest directly into the backpack. You can only use other tools to get the treasure chest out before considering opening it.
Yu Miaomiao took out a stone pickaxe, hooked the top of the pickaxe on the edge of the treasure chest, held the handle with both hands, and slowly pulled the pickaxe with force.
But no matter how hard she tried, the treasure chest was only lifted up by the pickaxe and did not leave the puddle.
When exerting force, Yu Miaomiao could clearly feel a resistance, which did not seem like the weight of the box, but as if the bottom of the box was stuck.
The puddle didn't look deep or large. Besides the box, there were also some dead wood and branches in it.
The wood inside seemed to have lost all signs of life, but its original shape showed no signs of erosion, indicating that this puddle, at least, did not cause any damage to the wooden products.
She had just immersed the stone pickaxe in the water for a few minutes when a dent appeared on it. When she took it out, steam was still coming out of the stone surface, and the same pungent and unpleasant smell was wafting out. Therefore, this puddle has a strong corrosive effect on iron and stone products.
She couldn't easily try to use her own hands. If the human body was corroded, not only would it cause injuries, but it would also waste medical supplies for no reason. So she definitely couldn't move it out with her bare hands.
To verify her guess, she broke off a few branches from the nearby bushes and threw them into the puddle.
After waiting for a while, no small bubbles appeared on the branch like those on the surface of the iron sheet. The whole dead branch remained intact in the water. It seemed that wooden products were indeed safe in this corrosive liquid.
Yu Miaomiao had some wooden objects in her bag, but no matter which tools she used, she couldn't pull the treasure chest out with her strength.
Since there is no way to take it out, just get rid of the water.
Yu Miaomiao took out the wooden barrel from her backpack, carefully pinched the upper edge of the barrel, placed the lower edge close to the puddle in small amounts several times, slowly scooped up water, and then poured it into the bushes nearby.
After going back and forth several times, the treasure chest revealed its original appearance and the lock was exposed to the air.
There wasn't much water in it to begin with, and after scooping a few more times, only the bottom of the puddle was left.
She held her breath, trying not to smell the pungent odor, and squatted down to observe the shape of the screws at the bottom of the lock.
Cross-shaped.
After confirming, Yu Miaomiao took out a screwdriver and tightened the screws. The two screws and all the items in the treasure chest automatically entered her backpack, and the treasure chest disappeared at the same time.
[Successfully trigger the Lucky trait, Adventure Land Gift Pack: Screws*2, Scrap Iron*10, Copper Ingot*1, Wood*2, Muffler Blueprint*1, Primary Medical Kit*1.]
Therefore, this adventure site is not only a place to fight monsters, but also requires you to use your brain to open treasure chests.
From locks to obtaining treasure chests, there are obstacles and puzzles everywhere.
Fortunately, what she got was very good, and it was worth the half hour she spent.
The silencer blueprint, if she guessed correctly, should be used to silence weapons.
If guns could be silenced, we wouldn't have to worry about attracting patrolling monsters after firing.
[System prompt: Player Meow Meow is not short of water and has unlocked the silencer crafting. Wisdom value increased by 1.]
I didn’t expect that the silencer is actually a technological process.
Yu Miaomiao dragged a high-quality workbench to see what materials were needed. If the production time was not long, he would make it on the spot.
With the silencer, she can boldly use the shotgun on the expedition.
She dragged the holographic image for a long time but couldn't place the workbench anywhere in front of her. There was always a red cross at the bottom of the workbench in the image.
Therefore, items such as workbenches cannot be placed in the expedition area.
Forget it, I can only bring a silencer with me next time I come.
After putting away the things, Yu Miaomiao set out again. Because the goal this time was 2%, Yu Miaomiao walked very carefully along the way, turning over almost all the bushes and cacti on both sides of the road.
After opening 4 treasure chests, you will reach the second fork in the road.
Hua Bie only remembered the first fork in the road. He couldn't remember the others. He just ran past them quickly. If he was wrong, he would turn back.
The first fork in the road was different from his, so the bushy road on the left and the cactus road covered with flowers on the right also looked different from the ones Huabie had experienced.
After Yu Miaomiao marked the linen cloth with lipstick again, she stepped onto the road full of flowers.
Anyone who stays in the desert for a long time will unconsciously get close to this beautiful and colorful thing.
Halfway through the walk, Yu Miaomiao realized that she was vaguely attracted by the fragrance of flowers on the road. Could it be that this fragrance had some kind of bewitching effect?
There were colorful flowers on the ground. Yu Miaomiao squatted down, picked a few, and tried to put them in her backpack, but failed.
The cacti along the road were covered with small yellow flowers, which were the flowers that the little camel had wanted to eat very much before.
The cacti here were not tall, about the same height as her. Yu Miaomiao was more careful and picked a few small yellow flowers, which could not be put into the backpack. It seemed that these flowers were unique to the expedition area, so she stuffed them into her linen pocket.
In addition to the flowers, she also got a linen bag and a small treasure chest.
After walking for ten minutes, we arrived at the end of the road - a field of flowers. On the ground lay a khaki snake, very eye-catching among the flowers.
The snake's body looks very long, about two or three meters, but it is overall slender and coiled like a hemp rope.
The snake's eyes are closed, and its head is exposed from its coiled body. On its head stands a pair of small horns, which are cone-shaped and stand upright like two small knives.
It was so thin, she wasn't sure she could shoot it, and besides, it was a snake.
Since it was a side road, she could choose not to open the treasure chest and could go back to the main road. There was no need for her to fight against the creatures that she was naturally afraid of.
Yu Miaomiao was a little hesitant. She had a hunch that after opening this box, the adventure progress bar would reach 2%.
Just as she was thinking, the snake's eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, and in the middle of the khaki eyeballs, green pupils stood up and looked at Yu Miaomiao.
Yu Miaomiao, who was stared at by these cold eyes, broke out in a cold sweat unconsciously. She consciously wanted to hind legs, but as soon as she moved a step, the snake raised its head.
Seeing its action, Yu Miaomiao became even more frightened. It was obvious that she had been discovered by the other party.
A person and a snake would be noticed if they were more than three meters apart, so she had to find a way to reduce her presence. Yu Miaomiao was quick-witted and quickly used the tortoise breathing technique she had learned, standing in an extremely uncoordinated and strange posture to adjust her breathing.
There is no way, the previous moves of Turtle Breathing Technique are too weird, either lying down, prone or sitting, only this posture of supporting the sky with one hand and touching the buttocks with the other hand is a standing posture.
The snake's eyes were still staring at her, and its originally curled up body began to slowly spread out. Observing the changes in its body, Yu Miaomiao's breathing became more and more rapid. Even if her posture was correct, it was of no use if her breathing was not right.
The other party had been alarmed by her and was walking in the opposite direction. She really didn't dare to expose her back to such a terrifying creature.
The Turtle Breathing Technique should be effective against wild beasts. This technique must be useful!
Even if it was useless, she opened the system backpack with her mind and prepared to run away with it.
With this belief, Yu Miaomiao concentrated her attention and could feel every pore on her skin inhaling and exhaling in rhythm with every breath she took.
The snake that had just spit out snake apricots blinked its eyes, lowered its head uncertainly, coiled up again, and squinted its eyes.
it works!
The tortoise breathing technique is really useful!
Before she could feel happy, she realized that she couldn't stand in this position forever unless she left for the expedition.
It is only safe temporarily now. As long as she moves, the breathing rhythm will definitely change, and the snake will probably wake up again.
What can we do?
If she wanted to run away from the snake, running backwards would definitely be slow, and running with her back to it, she was not sure if she could be fast enough.
After the treasure chest guardian monster leaves the treasure chest a certain distance away, it will return to the treasure chest. In Huabie's words, this is called leaving the battle.
He had no idea of the distance to escape from the battle, so Yu Miaomiao didn't know how far he should run.
As for speed, she has a pair of wind shoes, but she has never worn them because they are too tiring.
The treasure chest in front of her was only 3 meters away from her, and Yu Miaomiao felt a little unwilling.
After all, this treasure chest is the largest one she has seen along the way. It is one meter wide and half a meter high. There must be a lot of things inside. Moreover, she has only reached the second branch road, and she has chosen to give up. It will only become more and more difficult in the future. Should she give up?
The good stuff is right in front of you, and running may not help. It’s better to find a way to open the treasure chest.
Are snakes afraid of fire?
He must be afraid.
Yu Miaomiao opened the backpack with her mind and tried twice with her fingers, but failed to drag the fire out. She also attracted the attention of the long-horned snake. Before the snake raised its head, she hurried back to her previous position.
Fortunately, the Turtle Breathing Technique can indeed reduce her presence, so she has time to think about how to respond.
After browsing the backpack, she found an item that she had originally thought was for use at night - snake and insect repellent potion.
Although it says it is a long-lasting snake and insect repellent, the system also reminds you not to provoke it.
If she opens a box guarded by a guardian monster, would that be considered provoking it?
No matter what, I have to give it a try.
In order to use the things in the backpack, she had to move. Just after she clicked to use the 'Snake and Insect Repellent Potion', the yellow snake, which had just opened its eyes and moved, immediately arched its body.
To prevent being bitten by the snake, Yu Miaomiao held a shield in one hand and placed the other hand on the phantom's adventure card, ready to escape if he couldn't block it.
