Chapter 68 Desert Survival Day 9 (11) First Exploration of the Oasis
Dark Oasis, as the name suggests, the essence of this adventure lies in the oasis.
The roads Yu Miaomiao had walked before were only of low difficulty. After entering the oasis, the difficulty soared, and almost all monsters would actively attack. Once she entered, she did not have so much time and energy to negotiate terms with Cheng Xinweiben.
Letting him in doesn't mean you can let him in at will.
If he wants to come in, he must pay a certain price. This price must not only make up for his previous losses, but Yu Miaomiao also wants to get more back with interest.
Moreover, only when he vomited more things to Miaomiao would he want to recover his losses in the expedition area.
But in her plan, she didn't want to confront the opponent head-on without knowing the opponent's fighting strength. Once Chengxinweiben came in, she would go out, and the exploration site would be destroyed by her. Who could he turn to? He could only trouble the big winner in life.
Before that, she had to hurry up and improve the progress of the expedition until she could no longer make any progress, and then she could talk about this matter.
There is a clear lake on both sides of the front. The one on the left is the water surface that I saw on the branch road before. Although the lake on the right is not wide, it extends all the way to the horizon, and I don’t know how far it is.
Where I was, there was a slightly moist lawn. There was a lawn on both sides of the lake, and the view was very wide.
The lawn on the right should be the sandy slope connecting to the road blocked by the three camels.
Looking at the scene in front of me, it seems that all the water in the desert has come here.
The lawn was filled with monsters. The closest one was the camel I had seen before. Further back, there was a sheep over two meters tall with sharp horns. Further back, I could see something moving, but I couldn't make out what it was.
So to get to the back, you have to fight monsters all the way.
It doesn’t matter, Yu Miaomiao has an umbrella and can hide away.
The camel five meters away from him has a red health bar and will actively attack. It is also much larger than the one he saw at first.
They have more than three humps. Yu Miaomiao counted them and found five!
She now felt that the monsters here were mutated, rather than appearing out of thin air.
The lawn is wider than the branch roads and main roads we have walked on before, but the route each monster takes is still the same.
There are indeed many large cacti along the way, which are bulging and seem to be able to fit a person.
"Integrity is the foundation: I know my previous misdeeds have caused you great losses, but I am willing to make amends. I don't know what you need, so I'll give you a blueprint for an intermediate backpack expander as a token of my sincerity. Would you take a look at it?"
There wasn't much time left, yet he still had the time to negotiate with me over such a small matter. It seemed he wasn't in a hurry.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: No."
She can make a primary backpack expander. Although the expansion capacity is small each time, it can still be expanded. The craftsmanship of making an intermediate backpack expander is not attractive to Miaomiao.
There were many strange things on this road. Yu Miaomiao walked almost close to the lake with an umbrella. Being close to the water, she could clearly see the cunning catfish living by the lake.
The head of this fish is really big. It looks a bit scary when you look at it up close, like an inflated ball.
Yu Miaomiao walked very carefully and could pick up some snapping mushrooms and red mushrooms from time to time on the road.
After walking for more than ten minutes, she saw the shriveled corpse of a sheep by the lake. She watched with her own eyes how the catfish slowly pushed the corpse into the lake one by one, taking a bite each. They moved quickly, like well-trained... piranhas.
She hurriedly walked back two steps from the shore and heard a cry that pierced the sky coming from the front.
A dark figure quickly flew through the air and headed straight towards him.
It's a carrion bird!
How could it appear so early? Shouldn't it appear at least in the second half of Oasis?
Yu Miaomiao quickly took out the crossbow from his backpack and fired continuously.
The scavenger bird was extremely fast and even had the ability to avoid arrows. While gliding, it turned sideways and dodged the three arrows she shot in succession.
She knew it would be hard to cum, but she hadn't expected it to be this hard.
The scavenger birds made loud calls as they flew, and the sound was particularly harsh in such a quiet oasis.
It's going to attract patrolling monsters.
The five-humped camel next to him, which was still following its usual route and eating the corpse of an unknown substance on the ground, became anxious and restless due to the sound.
It rushed to the lakeside, then returned to the place where it had just eaten, and the next second, it ran towards Yu Miaomiao.
If the problems in heaven are not solved, troubles on earth will follow.
She could already see the scavenger bird in the sky clearly, and without any hesitation she aimed her bow and arrow at the sky again. As long as she held the umbrella, the camel would not be able to find out where she was.
The filled arrows were shot out one after another as if they were free. After shooting more than ten arrows in a row, they finally hit the scavenger bird's wings. It fluttered twice and began to fall straight down.
The five-humped camel rushed halfway, then leisurely walked back to the corpse it was still eating and started gnawing on it again.
It seemed that the movement of the scavenger bird disturbed it and caused it to deviate from its original setting, but because Yu Miaomiao was holding an umbrella, it could not see herself, causing its movements to become disordered.
Just after walking a few meters forward, the bird's cry appeared in the sky again, one after another.
Are there two?
The voice was a little far away, and Yu Miaomiao couldn't see clearly, and she began to feel nervous.
If you keep yelling like this, it will attract patrolling monsters sooner or later.
The camel that was eating well next to him was disturbed by the sound again. It started running around again in the middle of chewing. This time, it seemed that its target was very clear, which was him.
Just as Yu Miaomiao was about to raise the crossbow to shoot, he found that it immediately turned around and ran in another direction.
After shooting an arrow, it missed.
This camel no longer moved in the way a normal creature would. Sometimes it rushed forward, sometimes it jumped up, and once it even slid to its knees on the ground before immediately jumping up again.
The calls in the air came one after another, and Yu Miaomiao was sure that there was more than one scavenger bird coming.
To deal with the scavenger bird, she had to get out of the camel's range, otherwise she would be easily distracted, and she didn't know if the camel would go crazy and accidentally bump into her.
She moved forward a little further, but the camel circled around her as if using her as an anchor.
After walking ten meters, a brass box appeared in front of him.
Yu Miaomiao took the main road. This box was the same as the one on the branch road. It was different from the small treasure chests picked up on ordinary roads. It must be a box that could contain good things, or at least affect the progress.
The carrion bird had not yet flown into her range, so she decided to open the box first.
Just as he was about to take two more steps forward, the running five-humped camel seemed to have sensed something and rushed towards the same target as Yu Miaomiao.
Why does it also want a treasure chest? Could it be the guardian monster of the treasure chest?
But Yu Miaomiao didn't see any countdown in her field of vision.
It ran faster than Yu Miaomiao. If it ran over first, with its leg strength, it would probably kick the box into the water.
In one pocket was the energy drink she always kept to boost her stamina, and she touched the other pocket.
Yu Miaomiao remembered that she had seen the little camel want to eat the small yellow flowers but didn't get to eat them. This pocket contained the yellow flowers and dates that she had picked up before.
We'll try our best to save the camel, hoping that the yellow flowers and dates can awaken its nature.
As Yu Miaomiao ran over, she scattered five or six flower petals and a handful of dates into the air, trying to make sure the camel could see them.
The camel, which had already gone a little crazy, suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the yellow flowers scattered on the ground. After hesitating for a few seconds, it walked over excitedly and started eating the flowers.
Okay, as long as it works. The first scavenger bird in the sky has appeared and started to swoop down towards Yu Miaomiao.
She didn't bring much of anything, but she brought a lot of bows and arrows.
This time, after using more than ten shots, she shot the carrion bird in the body.
She needed to open the box as soon as possible before the second one arrived.
[Lucky trait successfully triggered. Screws*44, Iron Block*33, Copper Block*22, High-quality Sand*20, Mineral Water*2, Wood*5, Cotton*2, Seasoning Salt*10, Rubber*2, Plastic Block*4, Stone*3, Milk Pudding Mochi*5, Slippery 3-in-1 Shower Gel Recipe*1. Stored in the system warehouse.]
As she opened it, she saw her strategy progress bar, which had finally reached 4%.
As the treasure chest disappeared, the five-humped camel that was still chewing the delicious food turned into powder and disappeared along with the treasure chest.
The second scavenger bird in the sky came straight towards her. Yu Miaomiao wanted to do the same, but the bird that was mediating with her this time was very smart and was not in a hurry to fly low, so the force of her shot would be weakened, resulting in a miss.
Did it want to wait until she had used up all her arrows? That was overthinking.
Yu Miaomiao fired a series of arrows that flew past one after another.
The bird could not fly far due to its instinct, so it could only hover in the nearby air area, constantly adjusting its flying posture to avoid being attacked. However, when it was gliding sideways, Yu Miaomiao seized the opportunity and shot it to death.
She had used up more than fifty arrows on three scavenger birds.
Fortunately, these arrows were scattered nearby, and she used the space backpack function to collect them one by one, and collected thirty arrows in total.
As soon as he finished doing all this, Yu Miaomiao looked up and saw a group of black patrol ant monsters appearing in the distance.
This broken bird is really bad.
The area here is very open. Yu Miaomiao thought that the patrolling monsters might come quickly, so she didn't use a gun. Unexpectedly, the cry of the scavenger birds still attracted these patrols.
The patrolling monster in the lead was taller, taller than the six behind it, and only had six bullets left in its gun.
She quickly opened the leaderboard to check the ranking. The ranking of the expedition strategy jumped to 49. The progress of most explorers behind it had not changed for a long time. She didn't know whether they were threatened or they just couldn't make it.
With more than 4 hours left, her ranking should be firmly in the top 100. The injury on her leg has not healed yet. Due to her intense exercise, a large bloodstain has appeared on the white bandage. She had been enduring the pain just now, but now she can't continue fighting, otherwise her life may be lost here.
The goal had been achieved. She drank half a bottle of energy drink, forced her physical strength value which had dropped to 15 to 50 points, and then turned around and left resolutely.
Now Yu Miaomiao is still a certain distance away from the patrolling monsters. She is holding an umbrella, and they cannot discover her so quickly. She tries to use her other uninjured leg as much as possible to leave the oasis as quickly as possible.
When Yu Miaomiao returned to the exit where she had just entered the oasis, she discovered that there was also a fork in the road if she went in the opposite direction, but she didn't know where it led to.
She didn't have time to explore any further, so she followed the marks left behind and walked back to the branch trail of the cuckoo bird.
On the way, she received two impromptu conversations, but she didn't have time to reply. She had to kill the two birds first before considering other things.
Perhaps sensing that the treasure chest it was guarding was in danger, a bird that had been guarding the bird's nest for a long time flew out of the tree after Yu Miaomiao came to the gravel road and circled above Yu Miaomiao's head.
After shooting the scavenger bird, Yu Miaomiao felt that she should have no problem shooting other birds with a crossbow.
After clamping the umbrella with his neck, he raised the crossbow and shot it into the sky.
Unexpectedly, the cuckoo dodged it so easily.
Moreover, it seemed that it did not hide when the arrow was about to reach it, but had already avoided the path of the arrow.
What to do? The other party can predict this.
Attract the opponent and then chop him down? Like Huabie said?
But he climbed to the top of the tree before chopping it down, and this time after Yu Miaomiao appeared, they made no sound and didn't call the patrolling monsters. Could it be...
She put down her umbrella and saw the cuckoo, which was still circling in the air, glanced at her from afar and then flew back to its nest.
In the dim moonlight, the two birds stared at her with their white-green eyes, showing no intention of attacking.
They are just guarding and not actively attacking, otherwise why would the flowers have to wait until they reach the top of the tree to kill the birds?
She didn't know how long it would take for the patrol ant monster to get here, so she could only climb a little bit and hang the net first.
Only then did Yu Miaomiao realize how great human potential is when life and death are at stake.
Every time she climbed half a meter, she felt her hands shaking.
She had been holding an umbrella all day and her hands were exhausted. One of her legs was also injured. She didn't care whether it was bleeding or not, she could only climb to the top of the tree as quickly as possible.
When she entered the area covered by the branches, the two birds stopped looking at her. It was probably because the branches and leaves of the saxaul tree helped block the moonlight for her.
After climbing five meters, she slumped down on the tree trunk to catch her breath.
It’s too difficult. We’re only halfway up.
But if you look up, there is one right in front of you.
Silver treasure chest!
It's actually silver. It's a silver treasure chest. There must be good things inside. Why not try it again?
The treasure chest on the top of the tree can probably only be taken this time, because once this silver treasure chest is opened, the lake water will rise and the oasis will be covered by the lake water. That place will be the world of cunning catfish, so the adventure will end here.
Don’t you just want to end the adventure at this moment?
Do I have to run deep into the oasis and then run back here next time?
She just needs to take everything today, and next time she can just open the treasure chest under the tree. Why not give it a try?
Opening the private chat, she decided to think for a moment.
