The one in the middle was naturally the one who attacked together after they had all dealt with their respective monsters, because at such a distance, apart from the two of them, Mo Shuwan simply couldn't hit the monster, not to mention Chen Jiaxu and Yang Zhou, who hadn't even used a gun yet.
Just as the three monsters were about to approach them, they suddenly stopped midway. They twitched their noses and suddenly crouched down on the sand dune, clearly having discovered something.
Wen Zuo squinted at the monster that grabbed a handful of sand and firmly pulled the trigger. At the same moment, Liu Dongcheng also pulled the trigger. The instant they fired, the two immediately fired a second shot. The three monsters had to fall at the same time, otherwise they would attract the attention of other monsters on the oasis.
Thud—
Yellow sand rose from where the three monsters had fallen. Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng did not dare to let their guard down and maintained their shooting posture, ready to adjust the angle and fire at any time.
Time passed second by second, but the three monsters still didn't get up; they seemed to be truly dead.
Mo Shuwan said in a low voice, "I'll go take a look."
Wen Zuo, who had been in the same position the whole time, turned to look at Mo Shuwan, a look of disapproval flashing in his eyes.
"I'll be careful. If I sense anything unusual, I'll run immediately." Mo Shuwan reassured Wen Zuo in a low voice, and then prepared to stand up and go to check on the three monsters that had fallen. But before she could even stand up, she felt a pulling force from behind.
She turned her head and saw Yang Zhou.
Yang Zhou covered Xiwang's mouth with one hand and tugged at Mo Shuwan's clothes with the other, whispering, "Captain, you'd better not go. It's not safe."
Mo Shuwan smiled and said, "I have to go and check on the situation. It's alright, I'll be careful. Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng are watching over me, so I trust they won't let anything happen to me."
Yang Zhou still disagreed somewhat, but Mo Shuwan was the captain, and once she made a decision, it was basically impossible to change it, so he had no choice but to let go and say "be careful."
Mo Shuwan crouched down and cautiously approached the three monsters. Although she hadn't found any other monsters around, she dared not be careless at all. These monsters were too fast. Even though they were still far away, she believed that as soon as they saw her, they could quickly reach her side within seconds.
Wen Zuo, buried in the sand, took a deep breath, suppressed his worries, and frowned as he focused more intently on his surroundings.
It took Mo Shuwan about five minutes to reach the three monsters. They were indeed dead, and all of them had been shot in the head. Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng were very accurate marksmen, and under these circumstances, they made almost no mistakes.
“It looks weak.” Mo Shuwan frowned and turned one of the monsters over. She found that it had neither sharp claws nor sharp teeth, and even its fur was soft and limp, showing no threat whatsoever.
After carefully inspecting the three monsters, Mo Shuwan returned.
Wen Zuo breathed a sigh of relief when she returned to his side.
Mo Shuwan told them what she had just observed, and Liu Dongcheng said in a deep voice, "No, they are different when they are alive than when they are dead. We saw through the scope that the fur of these three monsters was very stiff and was not blown away by the sandstorm."
What the naked eye sees is certainly not as accurate as what Liu Dongcheng and his team see through the scope. Since he said so, then that must be the case.
Mo Shuwan said helplessly, "So, we still need to capture a live monster?"
"It's impossible to capture them alive. We can't shut the monsters up. If they make noise, it will definitely attract other monsters."
"What do we do? We still need to build a desert city in the oasis..."
Mo Shuwan frowned and pondered. She sighed, "I can't think of any other way for the time being. We don't know the number and strength of the monsters, and we don't know what other specific dangers there are in this desert... How about this, we'll go to a nearby place to scout out the situation later."
Wen Zuo turned to look at Mo Shuwan.
Noticing his gaze, Mo Shuwan smiled and said, "You stay here, Yang Zhou and I will go."
When his name was called, Yang Zhou instinctively straightened his back.
Wen Zuo nodded, silently saying, "Be careful."
"Okay, Chen Jiaxu, you stay here and keep an eye on the surroundings, especially behind you. Wen Zuo and the others are in your care."
Chen Jiaxu swallowed nervously. "Understood, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
Mo Shuwan almost burst out laughing at his serious answer. She left the fire-attribute longsword and Hope to Chen Jiaxu. Although Hope was small, the little dinosaur had very keen senses and might be of help at a critical moment.
After Mo Shuwan and Yang Zhou carefully made their way out in a big circle, Liu Dongcheng glanced at Chen Jiaxu, who was squatting with his back to him and Wen Zuo, and frowned slightly.
To be honest, aside from Wen Zuo and Mo Shuwan, he didn't really trust the other two people in the team and couldn't entrust his life to them, but...
Noticing Liu Dongcheng's gaze, Wen turned his head to look at him, opened his mouth and said silently, word by word, "Trust him."
Liu Dongcheng sighed silently, barely suppressing the urge to turn around and be wary.
After circling around for a long time, Mo Shuwan and Yang Zhou found the footprints left by the monsters and carefully walked towards the oasis. "If we see any monsters later, we'll leave immediately."
"good."
After walking for more than ten minutes, the two were finally less than a hundred meters away from the oasis. Normally, this distance would have been enough for the monsters to spot them, but luckily, there was a steep slope in front of them. The two crawled up the sand dunes, making very little noise, and did not attract the attention of the monsters in the oasis.
"Captain, this oasis is so small."
"Small is good, because if the oasis is small, there won't be too many monsters left here."
Yang Zhou moved forward a little with Mo Shuwan and said worriedly, "But we still need to build a desert city here, and we have to ensure that there are a hundred residents within a month. If it's too small, will anyone be willing to move in?"
Just as Mo Shuwan was about to speak, she saw the once quiet oasis suddenly become noisy. The monsters quickly gathered together and left the oasis in a grand procession under the watchful eyes of the two of them.
Chen Jiaxu, who was far away from them, stared in horror and took two steps back, trembling. "The captain just sent a message saying that the monster has left the oasis and that we should be careful."
Have they left the oasis?
After a moment of contemplation, Wen Zuo broke free from the sand. He put away his gun, took out his weapon, dug a large pit in the sand in front of him, and jumped in first.
If you don't know where the monsters are headed, it's best to hide first, because you might be facing not just a few monsters, but a whole group!
