Last night's battle is over (hey, is it okay to be so lazy?). Author: Hawkers, not very good at writing about combat pull)

The details are not enough for outsiders. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the end, I rubbed the fireball by flashing and running in time, while Akai followed Xiaobai and released cold arrows from time to time, and Xiaobai protected Akai from being attacked on his back. We finally repelled the pack of monitor lizards, and after a brief moment of rage, the pack seemed to sense that the enemy was not to be messed with, so they retreated, leaving only seven or eight of them in place.

Half of the carcasses of these monitor lizards have charred black skin. The remaining half had a different number of arrows stuck in their heads.

"Then again, the meat is too bad!" I looked at the charred piece of meat in my hand with twitching eyes, then gritted my teeth and put it in my mouth.

"Come on, it's good to eat some." Akai also looked helpless.

The meat of these monitor lizards is not much better than that of the steppe wolf, and it should be said that it is more than equal. At the very least, I personally feel that the meat of the steppe wolf is much better than the meat of the lizard.

These monitor lizards are not poisonous, otherwise we would not dare to eat them.

In line with the principle of not wasting food, we dragged all those corpses to the workbench to break them into pieces of meat [monitor lizard meat], as for how to decompose... I can only say that Xiaobai helped a lot, even if these guys are dead, but the weight is there.

However, although we looked like we were in pain, Xiaobai ate very happily.

The early morning break was very short, and after digesting the food in our bodies, we continued to walk on the path pointed by the compass. The sand on the soles of his feet began to turn hot, a sign that the sun was recovering.

No words along the way...

"Phew, Akai, is there any way to find water." Looking at the little water left in my backpack, I wondered if we would run out of food and grass before we found one.

Even fighting monsters and dying is countless times better than starving and thirsting!

Desperate situation is silently approaching us, and the sun is getting higher and higher, as if it is mocking our powerlessness, but we can only move forward.

"I don't know." Akai took a breath and wiped the sweat from his head, "Xiaobai didn't smell the smell of water nearby." ”

After confirming that it was fruitless again, I had no choice but to continue to move forward.

The most terrifying desperation of walking in the desert is not the lack of food and water, but the loss of direction.

If you lose your way, you will be trapped in the desert, even if you have more supplies. So, every once in a while, I would take my compass out and look at it to make sure we were not going in the wrong direction.

Half an hour・・・An hour・・・

That's how we walked through the desert.

[Huh? Xiao Bai, who was walking with his head down, suddenly raised his head and looked around left and right.

"Huh? Xiaobai, what's wrong? Akai and I were very surprised to see Xiaobai's abnormal behavior, and at the same time, we also had a little guess in our hearts.

【The taste of water!】 You can't go wrong! Xiaobai confirmed again and again, and was very confident in his sense of smell and feeling.

[Left・・・Right・・・East!] 】

"Hey, wait for us." When watching Xiaobai quickly run in one direction, Akai and I stayed in place for a second, and then immediately chased after him.

Under the extremely bright sun, on a golden sandy field, three figures were running slowly.

Bai slowed down a little so that we could follow. After all, the sand layer is very thick, and it is easy to get stuck in the sand, so even if you run, you have to be careful.

Half ringing.

"Whew, whew..." I looked at the tall greenery in front of me, and the joy in my heart could be imagined.

"Hah, hah, this is, cactus!?" Akai relieved himself, the tenth-level bow and arrow skills not only brought him enough eyesight and archery skills, but also made Akai's physical strength much better than mine, if it weren't for the increase in shark oil's physique, I would have fallen behind, maybe I would have to use flashing magic to keep up.

The tall green plants in front of us made us recognize them in an instant.

It's so easy to recognize!

The dark green branches are covered with sharp and hard thorns, making it impossible to get a rest.

Any person or animal that dares to approach will be stabbed.

A miracle that grows in the desert -- the cactus

Cactus, this is a plant that can only be found on sand that is not adjacent to the level or where water is present. Causes any entity, including humans and animals, to be damaged when they touch a cactus. Cacti can be used to make dyes, which can be put into a furnace fire to make a green dye, also known as 'cactus green'.

Of course, the cactus itself is rich in water, and when you cut it down, you can find water in its roots, and of course, you can also get the water inside by cutting open the skin of the cactus.

Cacti can grow up to three meters in length, and they do not need sunlight to grow, even if they are underground, they can grow slowly when planted in sand. They automatically take moisture from the air to replenish themselves.

At the same time, the cactus has no less defensive power than earth, although it is not as hard as stone, but its thick branches and growth to a height of three meters can play an unexpected role in defending against attacks by bows and arrows and the harassment of zombies.

You can't expect zombies with rotting heads and skeletal archers with no brains to climb walls, can you? Not to mention a cactus with thorns all over its body.

After a burst of joy, we found that there was more than one cactus in this area, that is, this area was suitable for cacti, slightly humid compared to other areas, and the moisture in the air was not evaporated by the scorching sun above the desert. As a result, these cacti are able to survive well, absorb nearby water and store it.

Akai and I took the iron sword out of our backpack and compared it slightly.

"You're on your left, I'm on my right."

"Oooh!"

Excited to find the water, Akai and I cut down the roots of the cactus left and right.

'Boom! A three-metre-long cactus was cut down in the sand, and in the hollow roots, we were delighted to discover the presence of water. And the cactus that was cut down also turned into two resource blocks that could be collected and scattered on the ground.

I crouched down and put it in my backpack, then gave the bucket to Akai to fill it up. I'm going to the next cactus and continuing our business of collecting water.

You know, a single cactus doesn't hold enough water to fill a bucket, and a tenth of it would be good.

Of course, while collecting water, you can also collect more cacti to bring back, whether it is planting or using it as a dye as a rune prop, it is very useful.

As the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes lurk, and misfortunes and blessings rely on. After inexplicably teleporting into this desert of death, we accidentally obtained the resource of cactus, which can be regarded as gratifying.

For an afternoon, we were all repeating the process of chopping cacti and collecting water.

Of course, in the spirit of sustainable development, we did not cut all these cacti clean.

As long as the roots of the cactus are still there, even if the upper part is cut down, it can grow back again, and it does not take much time. This is one of the rules of this world, and the same is true of sugar cane, which has a lot in common with the two plants.

With a heart full of hope, we continued our journey home.
