Xi Xi believes that, in accordance with the game's consistent principle of balance, the night must hold some special challenges or opportunities.
Based on her driving experience over the past few days, she discovered that the probability of encountering a treasure chest becomes extremely low whenever the sun sets.
She couldn't help but think that the treasure chests during the day and at night seemed to differ in type and distribution, and the locked treasure chest from last night was the best proof of that.
After a day's work, most people's physical strength will be depleted by night, at which point their combat power, defense, and agility will all be reduced to varying degrees.
Furthermore, visibility is low at night, and there are also the threat of poisonous insects, so few people are able to explore under the cover of darkness.
Therefore, she guessed that locked treasure chests might only appear at night. At least so far, she had never seen any discussion about locked treasure chests in the public chat.
With her headlamp illuminating the sandy ground ahead, Xi Xi felt as if she were stepping on thin air with every step she took, without any sense of reality.
She gripped the sickle tightly in her hand, carefully surveying her surroundings, feeling increasingly cold the further she got from the car.
The surroundings seemed to fall into a deathly silence, without a single sound, except for the echoes of one's own footsteps and breathing in the boundless darkness.
These ordinary sounds were amplified infinitely at this moment, like heavy drumbeats striking the defense line deep in Xi Xi's heart, making her feel fear and unease.
Time seemed to have completely lost its original meaning at this moment; every second that passed felt like an eternity.
This slow and agonizing passage of time forced Xi Xi to keep her eyes glued to the light screen map beside her.
She groped her way forward with difficulty, gradually stepping from the soft sand into the sandstone-rock mixed zone.
Just then, a piece of gravel was accidentally kicked far away by her movement.
At first, Xi Xi didn't pay attention to the sound of the rolling stones until a moment later, a low, muffled thud suddenly came from afar.
Xi Xi took a deep breath. Her expression was tense, and her body was as taut as a fully drawn bowstring. She cautiously approached the direction from which the sound had come from, but suddenly stopped halfway there.
Not far ahead, a long and deep canyon appeared without warning under the white beam of light from the headlamps.
Xi Xi approached and looked down into the depths of the canyon. She saw an impenetrable darkness below, like a bottomless black hole that swallowed all light, sending chills down her spine.
