Scavenging Notes: I am the Lucky Star of the End Times

"This is a mutant camel, the ship of the desert, and it's a vegetarian. Don't be nervous."

While Xie Yuan was explaining to everyone, he secretly exclaimed:

I didn’t expect to encounter the Desert Ship in the Lost Desert!

Wasn't it rumored to be extinct many years ago?

Could it be that their tribe migrated here?

Xu Sansan looked at this Bactrian camel, which was two times bigger than the elephant in his previous life, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, you are a vegetarian.

Otherwise...it will be another fierce battle!

Everyone quickly climbed out of the rock cave. Xie Yuan and Hu Ba worked together to replace the large rock that had just been overturned by the mutant camel and put it back in its original place.

Since there is a dark river underground, although we don't know whether it is polluted or not, it is also a precious water source. We should try to preserve it so that it won't be evaporated in vain by this terrible heat wave.

When Xie Yuan and Hu Ba slowly put the stones in place, a series of ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the underground river at the bottom of the cave, as if something was surging under the water...

Xu Sansan stood on the rock and was once again tightly wrapped by the unbearable hot air.

She looked around in the starlight, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be sparse vegetation around. Although the vegetation was not dense, it grew in a very regular pattern, as if it had been deliberately planned by someone. The vegetation spontaneously formed a large circle.

Xu Sansan looked at the big circle in the middle again——

There are twinkling stars in the circle, like a meteor falling to the earth.

It turns out there is an oasis here!

The sparkling lake surface not only reflects the Milky Way, but also the scorching hot air waves of this mysterious desert.

Dreamy and dangerous!

Xie Yuan buckled the chain on Xu Sansan back around his waist, looked at the mutant Bactrian camel that was still chewing plants by itself, and felt strange:

Only one?

Isn’t the desert ship a strange beast that lives in groups?

He snapped his fingers, trying to get the desert ship's attention.

However, the proud camel didn't even look at him and continued to eat the plant roots in the cracks of the rocks.

Xie Yuan sighed in his heart.

Forget it, it’s better not to provoke it too much, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

He looked at the starry sky, re-determined the direction, and then called on everyone to continue moving deeper into the heart of the Lost Desert.

Before leaving, he looked back again -

very strange,

In the rare oasis of the Lost Desert, apart from a mutant camel eating grass, there was no trace of any other exotic animals.

This is not normal.

Xie Yuan suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to move forward on the yellow sand with everyone, but he walked more cautiously.

After climbing over a sand dune, Xie Yuan suddenly raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop.

Xu Sansan stood behind Xie Yuan, looking at the endless sand in front of him, and did not notice anything unusual, except...

In addition, I felt that my feet seemed to be extremely hot, as if there was a fire burning!

Xie Yuan squatted down, grabbed a handful of yellow sand at his feet, and threw it forward with force.

The yellow sand in his hand immediately flew out like water, covering an area more than 10 meters ahead.

Grains of sand were scattered on the sand layer with a rustling sound, and then there was a sudden surge!

The moment the sand grains touched the sand layer, a raging fire suddenly ignited on the sand layer!

The fire was burning fiercely, and the flames on the ground immediately illuminated the surroundings red.

Xu Sansan widened his eyes and watched the flames rising from the sand layers in front of him in the fiery red light. The flames were very high, about 1 meter, and covered a wide range.

Just after Xie Yuan's handful of yellow sand triggered a raging fire in an area of ​​more than 10 meters in front of him, within less than 3 seconds, fires broke out one after another within a range of meters to the left, to the right, and forward, with this area as the center!

The fire lasted for more than 10 seconds before gradually dying out.

The moment it went out, the world seemed to return to silence again.

In the few seconds before the fire went out, Xu Sansan seemed to see something black churning under the sea of ​​fire.

It looked like it was covered with a layer of magma, or like it was sprinkled with a layer of coal.

At this time, Xie Yuan's voice sounded:

"There are a large number of fire ants ahead! Don't touch them with your hands. Fire ants are small in size, have high body temperatures, and secrete flammable oils on their body surface.

These oils are their unique protective armor, and once they come into contact with foreign objects, they will immediately spontaneously combust.

Don't worry about it, the fire ant's body is too small and there is no nuclear crystal inside. "

Xu Sansan blinked his eyes. The firepower was so fierce, but there was no fire core crystal? !

So they rely purely on fat and body temperature to ignite through friction with foreign objects?

So original and traditional?

After Xie Yuan quickly explained to everyone, he led everyone to take a detour to avoid these guys who loved to play with self-ignition.

But as he walked, his brows became more and more furrowed:

As far as I can remember, the secret information of the garrison specifically mentioned that fire ants basically live deep in the sand layer of the Lost Desert, but why would they appear on the surface of the desert tonight?

This is not normal!

"Everyone be careful, I think something is weird."

While leading the way, Xie Yuan shared with everyone the various anomalies he had discovered since the oasis.

On the one hand, this is to remind everyone to pay attention to their surroundings, and on the other hand, it is also to gather ideas.

After all, the power of the masses is always strong.

The group quickly bypassed the area of ​​fire ants and continued walking along the ridge of the sand dune.

Another hour later, after everyone had replenished their water supply,

The Marshal blinked his bright eyes and suddenly warned everyone in a low voice.

"Look!"

Everyone immediately fell to the ground and hid their bodies behind the sand dunes.

With the help of starlight, Xu Sansan looked in the direction of the Marshal's finger. In the distance, along their route, there seemed to be a large black shadow on the vague outline of the sand dunes, as if something of huge size was lying there.

Xie Yuan frowned. If he guessed correctly, it should be a dark night sand wolf!

But the Night Sand Wolves are social beasts, and there are always more than 20 of them. Why is there only one on the opposite sand dune?

Moreover, judging from the posture, it doesn't look like an ambush, but more like...

Lying on the ground...

Xie Yuan made a hand gesture, indicating to the Marshal to fire a shot first to test the waters.

The Marshal looked at the three bullets left in his pocket and felt reluctant to throw them away.

The bullets were made for him by Xiao Jieba in the afternoon. Due to the tight time schedule, he only made 5 bullets in total.

Two of them had already been used up when dealing with the mutant centipede.

But he also knew that the sand dunes in the distance were at least 1000 meters away from them. Even if Xie Yuan could throw his glass marbles accurately, they would not have explosive power. If they encountered an ambush by some strange beast, not only would they not be lethal enough, but they would also alert the enemy and expose everyone.

So, no matter how reluctant you are, you still have to use it!

The Marshal took out a bullet, loaded it gently, nodded to Xie Yuan, then crawled behind the sand dune and aimed the sniper rifle at the strange beast opposite.

"Oh!"

The trigger is pulled!

The moment the bullet exploded, it suddenly broke through the air. The metal bullet head was like a sharp sword, flying fiercely in the heat waves rising from the lost desert.

"Snapped!"

Everyone listened to the sound of the bullets and looked at the unchanged outline in the distance, and hesitated for a moment:

Where did the bullet go?

This is... a miss?

Just when the stutterer was about to sigh and regret the bullet he had carefully made, he suddenly heard a scream of "Woo!", followed by a "Wow!" sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Everyone saw that the shadow area on the sand dune in the distance suddenly doubled, as if there was another strange beast.

The Marshal blinked his bright eyes, raised his head from the scope, looked at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, and said uncertainly:

"Aren't there two of them? I thought you wanted me to just shoot the one that was obviously still alive..."

Xie Yuan looked sideways, staring at the Marshal's eyes, and was shocked:

Is this the opening of the third eye? !

I didn't even realize there was a second one lying in ambush...

Everyone opened their mouths in surprise, but soon came back to their senses.

This dark night sand wolf is so cunning that it even knows how to use its companions as bait!

Unsure whether there were more dark night sand wolves lurking behind the sand dunes, Xie Yuan untied the chain on his belt, entrusted Xu Sansan to Yu Ge, and confirmed with the Marshal again:

"You only saw two?"

The Marshal blinked his bright eyes and replied:

"Well, one seems to have died a long time ago, and the other one was shot and is probably dying soon..."

Xie Yuan nodded, holding the long knife in his hand, turned around, and walked quickly to check it out alone.

He quickly arrived at the opposite hill, and the first thing he saw was the Dark Night Sand Wolf lying on its back. Just as the Marshal had said, the sand wolf was already dead, and the blood that flowed in the sand had completely dried up and evaporated.

Next to it, there lay a dark night sand wolf whose head had just been blown off by the Marshal.

Thick blood continued to flow out from the sand wolf's head. Xie Yuan swung his knife neatly and pierced the sand wolf's head mercilessly. With the tip of the knife facing upwards, he lightly flicked it and a fist-sized fire nuclear crystal was thrown into the air.

After putting away the nuclear crystal, he chopped at the head of another sand wolf in the same way, and a fire nuclear crystal of the same size was also opened out.

"Ding! Severe pollution!"

"Ding! Severe pollution!"

Although Xie Yuan felt that it was unnecessary to test the pollution level of strange beasts in the Lost Desert, when he thought of the determined eyes of the Sifang team and San San who were determined not to let go of any strange beast, he still did a test.

But the result is obvious.

He put away the nuclear crystal and immediately called everyone over.

Just as the quartet of teams arrived, suddenly, a heat wave swept towards them.

"Boom!" Countless flames suddenly appeared on the sand!

The bodies of the two Dark Night Sand Wolves and the people of the Quartet were immediately engulfed in a sea of ​​fire...
