The suited young man whose spear was grabbed and pulled by Zhou Chen with great force was somewhat shocked. He did not expect that the Dragon Country youth he had tried to make trouble for would be so powerful that even his two hands could not pull the spear out of the latter's one hand..
He had the talent 'Strongman' which gave him +0.4 to physique, and his strength was much greater than many Survivors.
Seeing that he could not pull the spear back at all, in a moment of desperation, the suited young man kicked Zhou Chen with his right leg, preparing to coordinate with the other white youth who was approaching Zhou Chen's back.
Zhou Chen was maintaining his strong perception to check the situation at all times. He waved the iron rod in his hand and broke the suited young man's right leg into two. Then, he suddenly pulled the spear with his left hand and turned around, using the spear he had snatched to force back the other white youth.
The suited young man immediately fell to the ground and screamed. He continued screaming while crawling away from this terrifying demon.
However, how could Zhou Chen let him off? He flipped the spear in his hand and stabbed it down, piercing through the suited young man's heart.
As for the young man's original ally, the dagger-wielding white youth, he had already begun running in the direction of the bone path. He was very fast. In just two seconds, he had run nearly 30 meters, and had no intention of turning back to save his ally.
Zhou Chen turned around and looked at the direction the young man was fleeing in. After a moment of silence, he did not choose to chase after him. Instead, he bent down and picked up a lighter from the ground. This was the item that had dropped after killing the young man in the suit. He did not know in which Survival mission the young man had obtained this item.
Zhou Chen then placed the lighter and iron rod in his inventory and took out the remaining half of the coke to drink.
He did not have much stamina left, and his condition was not good due to his injuries. Otherwise, he would definitely continue to chase after the other foreigner.
Soon, faint rustling sounds came from behind. Zhou Chen knew that a small number of scorpion monsters that were still chasing him, had caught up. He did not continue to run because there were not even a hundred of them. He could completely deal with them. After killing them, he might even get some drops.
He quickly stabbed with the spear. Every time he stabbed, he would pierce through the shell of a scorpion monster. As he stabbed, he retreated. From time to time, he would add an area-of-effect attack like sweeping. In less than a minute, he killed all the scorpions.
[You have killed the Desert Stinger. Reward: 1 Mineral Water (Low Bronze)]
After the round of killing, Zhou Chen did not obtain any equipment rewards and only obtained a bottle of mineral water.
"It seems like the drop rate of mineral water is much higher than equipment."
Zhou Chen remembered that this was the second time he had obtained mineral water. From the looks of it, this setting was probably a form of protection given to them by the system to prevent them from dying from dehydration in this hot desert.
Zhou Chen took out the mineral water from his inventory and drank a few mouthfuls. He realized that the remaining thirst he had after drinking the coke had completely disappeared.
"Speaking of which, I've killed quite a number of these so-called Desert Stingers, why didn't any passive skill drop? Logically speaking, there should be at least some poison passive skill."
Looking at the broken scorpion corpses in front of him, Zhou Chen felt that they might be different from the scorpions in his impression. Perhaps they were not poisonous.
"These little things might not be poisonous, but the spikes on their tails pack a punch. My legs are still hurting, and they stabbed me quite deeply too."
When Zhou Chen had escaped the quicksand earlier, he had been attacked by some scorpion monsters. At that time, he did not feel much pain due to the adrenaline. Now that he was in a relatively safe state, he felt a piercing pain in his body.
After feeling that it was becoming unbearable, Zhou Chen took out the bottle of healing potion from his inventory and took a small sip.
The healing potion looked bright red, but it had no taste when drunk, similar to mineral water.
After drinking this small mouthful of healing potion, Zhou Chen only waited for ten seconds before he felt the pain in his body reduce greatly. His stamina seemed to have been slightly restored too. The effect of the healing potion could be said to be instantaneous.
Seeing that he had almost recovered, Zhou Chen put the healing potion back into his inventory and set off again with the spear.
He had only walked a portion of the desert bone path, and the remaining distance was still quite long.
"I hope I can finish it before dark."
Zhou Chen planned to end this Survival mission as soon as possible. He did not want to stay through the night, because he felt that the night in the desert would be even more dangerous.
The Survival mission this time was different from what he had experienced in the past. He only needed to reach the oasis on the other side of the bone path. There was no time limit. In addition, the system had said that the entire distance was fifty kilometers, so in theory, this Survival mission could be finished during the day.
In fact, if not for the fact that it was difficult to walk in the desert and the unbearable heat, and that he had to avoid the quicksand and monsters, Zhou Chen felt that with his current physical strength, he would only need three hours to finish the journey.
After continuing to walk in the desert for more than an hour, Zhou Chen felt thirsty again. His stamina had decreased, and he felt hot and tired.
"I should be halfway there, I need to keep going. I hope I can encounter some monsters soon."
Due to his thirst, he had already drunk the last of the coke and mineral water. He could only hope that he would encounter some easier monsters and have them drop some mineral water.
However, the system's arrangements often went against the wishes. When Zhou Chen wanted to hurry up, he would encounter various quicksand terrain and monster attacks. When he wanted to run into monsters and drink some water, he could not even see the shadow of a monster. Instead, he saw a towering sandstone slope in the distance.
"This system is really not human…"
Zhou Chen had already felt rather uncomfortable walking in the hot desert. He did not expect the system to make him challenge the climb.
He looked up at the high slope in the distance and realized that the bone path was in the middle. It was difficult to circle around it, so he braced himself and walked over.
Half an hour later, he arrived below the high slope.
Then, under the high slope, he found a person lying on the ground. Half of the person's body was buried in the sand, and it looked like he had been buried in peace.
"Help…"
A weak voice came from the front, making Zhou Chen realize that the other party was not dead.
Zhou Chen heard the weak cry for help and went forward to check.
Soon, he recognized this person as the middle-aged man from the Dragon Country who had been the first to step on the bone path.
Zhou Chen used the spear to dig out some sand from his body and found that his injuries were not light, especially one of his legs that was almost broken. No wonder he fell in the desert.
"Your condition is too bad. Sorry, I can't save you."
Zhou Chen gave it a few glances and decided to give up on the rescue. This person's injuries were too serious. He might need to use all the healing potion to have some effect, but he would not do something like that.
"Save me… I'll give you… two million… Dragon Country bills…"
The middle-aged man on the ground heard Zhou Chen's words and struggled to raise his head. Perhaps the high temperature in the desert had caused him to suffer from heatstroke, but his mental state seemed to be very bad. Even his voice was not too clear.
"Two million is very attractive, but even if you really give it to me, I can't save you."
Even Zhou Chen could not guarantee that he could finish this desert bone path, so how could he bring a severely injured burden along?
"Three million… save me… I'll give you… all my assets…"
Seeing that Zhou Chen did not agree, the man on the ground raised the price.
"Forget it, brother…"
Zhou Chen shook his head.
"Your current situation is hopeless. No one can help you, but I can let you die earlier so that you can suffer less."
Zhou Chen revealed his true goal in coming to this person. The reason he was willing to spend time checking on this unlucky person was because he wanted to get something.
"If you're willing to take out your equipment, I can help you pass a message to your family."
Zhou Chen thought for a moment and felt that this was the most practical thing he could do.
There was an indescribable silence in the hot air. The middle-aged man on the ground did not reply.
Zhou Chen aimed the spear at this person's neck and prepared to end him.
He had to do this. Otherwise, when this person died or was seen by other Survivors, the benefits would go to others.
"Alright… Come closer… I'll tell you…"
Before Zhou Chen could strike, the man on the ground spoke again, as if he wanted to say something to Zhou Chen.
"Sure."
Zhou Chen immediately responded. Then, the spear in his hand pierced through the man's neck, sending him from a half-dead state to hell.
There was a sound of something dropping on the ground. Zhou Chen turned around and saw an empty mineral water bottle.
"This person is too poor, or is my luck not too good…"
He felt that his one minute was completely wasted.
Feeling displeased, he immediately used his spear to dig around the person to see if there were any items left.
Suddenly, something shiny appeared in the sand near that person's palm.
Zhou Chen immediately pulled it out with the spear and found that it was a sharp dagger.
"Hehe, I knew that this person wanted to drag me down with him. Well, I wanted to kill him just now, so there's nothing wrong with him doing this."
The reason why Zhou Chen had killed him immediately when he heard that the other party wanted him to get closer was because he suspected that the other party had crooked thoughts. From the looks of it, his guess was most likely correct.
After picking up the dagger and the mineral water bottle and putting them in his inventory, Zhou Chen checked the area some more and confirmed that there was nothing else before leaving and beginning to climb the desert slope.
The slope was about 45 degrees, and it was over a thousand meters high. It would be a difficult climb.
Moreover, Zhou Chen quickly realized that there were also quicksand traps on the high slope. If he encountered them, he would have to circle around them, greatly increasing the distance to climb.
The entire climb took a long time. It was extremely boring and tiring. When Zhou Chen finally reached the top, his sweat was almost dry.
At the top, he sat down to rest.
Looking into the distance, he seemed to be able to see some greenery.
"That should be the oasis at the end."
Seeing the green light in the distance, Zhou Chen, who felt exhausted, suddenly felt a surge of motivation in his heart. He felt that it was finally time to leave this damned place.
He then looked at the area closer to him and realized that there seemed to be a small dot moving quickly in the desert.
"That looks like a person… skating?"
Zhou Chen's vision was good. He looked carefully and realized that the small dot should be a person. To be precise, it was a woman who was skateboarding.
"This person is quite lucky to have a skateboard suitable for such a long descent. It can save a lot of time and stamina."
After feeling a little envious, Zhou Chen began to slowly descend.
It was much easier for him to go down this high slope than when he came up, but he could not be too careless. If he was not careful and rolled to the bottom, he might be injured in the middle or faint.
Zhou Chen held a spear in one hand and an iron rod in the other. With their support, he steadily walked down the slope.
It took less than a quarter of the time to reach the bottom of the high slope than when he climbed up. He continued along the path.
After walking for about twenty minutes, he finally got his wish and encountered monsters.
These monsters looked like lizards. Most of them were less than a meter long, and there were about sixty to seventy of them. They seemed to attack with their sharp claws and thin tongues.
They were originally chasing after the skateboarder. But when they saw Zhou Chen, about half of them turned and charged at him.
Zhou Chen was somewhat satisfied with these monsters taking the initiative to come over. These monsters did not seem to have high combat strength, and there were not many of them. He immediately charged over with his spear and began to fight these monsters.
The first spear strike was a thrust that pierced the eyes of the lizard monster at the front. The spear tip pierced through its eyes and into its brain.
The second spear strike was a horizontal sweep with great force, sending seven to eight lizard monsters that were about to surround him flying back and crashing into the other lizard monsters behind them.
Then, he began to move and stab at high frequency, killing the approaching monsters one by one and wiping them out.
He gained a lot from this battle. Apart from a bottle of mineral water, he also obtained a cudgel and a passive skill.
[Cactus Cudgel
Type: Low bronze weapon
This cudgel is made of extremely hard cactus stems. The enemy who is attacked by it will have an unforgettable experience.]
[Body Regeneration I
Type: Low bronze passive skill
When you take enough nutrients, your lost limbs or organs other than heart and brain will be fully regenerated within a month.]
