The mercenary's T-shirt Link didn't let go either.

The mercenary's T-shirt, which had been pierced through the heart, had been soaked in blood, and it was impossible to see its true face.

Link cut another T-shirt into strips and stuffed it into his Forbes backpack except for his armbandage.

"It takes at least more than 100 kilometers to cross the Gobi from here, and all resources must be saved."

Link counted the food in his backpack, which consisted of compressed biscuits, energy bars, and a large lump of beef, enough to last them until they arrived in Shadu. But in terms of water resources, there is only one bucket or two liters of pure water, and no amount of careful calculation is enough.

Link thought back and pointed to the northwest: "Let's go northwest!" ”

Forbes was a little puzzled: "Boss, isn't the sand in the north, why should we go northwest, isn't this a detour?" ”

"The Mechanics need a lot of water to smelt metal, but what the Gobi lacks most is water, so they dug a canal from the western end of the continent to the mechanical city. We went northwest, although the distance was a little longer, but it could replenish the water resources. ”

"Huh? Are we going to Mechanical City? I don't want to be caught as a human battery. ”

"We're just taking a long detour to get water, and although there are mechanical soldiers patrolling the canal all the way, if we are careful, we won't run into it. You have to trust our little guides. ”

The treasure hunt rat has his hands on his hips, his head held high, and detecting metal is his forte, and this black fat man dares to question it!

Forbes hurriedly bowed his head and apologized, and after knowing the details of the death of the two mercenaries, he was in awe of the treasure hunt rats.

The wounds were bandaged, the spoils were divided, the supplies were counted, the route was set, and the new member Forbes joined the team.

Link thought about it and decided to craft another pet before heading out.

The monster synthesis module is quite easy to use, and the role of the treasure hunt mouse in the battle just now has been significantly helpful. If there are more of these pets, the safety on the way to escape will be greatly increased.

Just as Link was pondering what materials to use for his second pet to craft, several system prompts interrupted his train of thought.

[You triggered the C-rank quest [Prey targeted by the wasteland], and the survival quest cannot be refused]

[Hint: The Wasteland Gang has remembered you for what you are, and as the 'only' survivor to escape the quicksand of the Dungeon, the Wasteland Gang is eager to learn the truth and secrets of the incident from you.] You've now been marked as prey and wanted by bounty, so be careful! ]

[Quest Period: April 13, Wasteland Calendar 42 - December 31, Wasteland Calendar 42]

[Quest Rewards: Dynamic rewards based on evaluations]

"C-class mission, survival mission?"

Link was stunned when he saw the content, this is the Wasteland Gang starting to do the whole work for him!

Survival missions are the term for the 'high' system, and this kind of mission is called another way for players - hunt and kill missions.

The mission requires only one point, surviving within the allotted time.

Because players usually have other things to do besides doing tasks, but as long as the chase mission is triggered, it is basically difficult to move an inch. As long as you're online, enemies will appear anytime and anywhere, leaving you struggling to deal with them, and you could be killed and fail your mission if you're not careful.

And the mission reward is also very weak, it will be evaluated according to the number of enemies you deal with within the specified time, and points will be given according to the evaluation.

There is a little bit of silence here, if the strength is strong enough to deal with all the enemies, then simply go directly to the door and kick the hall to sweep the forces, and the benefits are much greater than this.

If the strength is not strong, it will be chased by the enemy and exhausted, and it will be easy to be killed, and there is no profit at all.

In addition, the task cannot be refused, whether it is the open beta or the game after a few years of operation, it is a kind of task that gives players a headache.

"I wanted to dump the pot on the Mechanicus Cult, but I can't help it! An eight-month wanted warrant is a bloody one. ”

Originally, Link thought that it would be safe to escape to Shadu, but he didn't expect the Wasteland Gang to issue a wanted warrant, which was difficult to deal with.

Now Link was even more determined to prepare a few more helpers.

At the moment, the top priority is to cross the Gobi, and the most important element of the Gobi is sand, and perhaps we can make a fuss about it.

"Ah Fu, can you help me get some sand?"

Forbes is packing his bags and ready to hit the road. This sudden request caught him a little off guard.

"Boss, aren't we going to the Northwest Canal, and suddenly what do we want to do with sand?"

Link patted Forbes on the shoulder and said, "Go get some back, you can save your life!" ”

Hearing the word 'life-saving', Forbes stopped asking, and immediately put down his backpack and ran to the sand to catch sand.

Link patted his belly again, and said to the treasure hunt rat that was huddled in the empty bag of the gun belt, "Xiaobao, can you help me find another rat of the same kind?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a squeak from under Link's linen coat, and the treasure hunt rat jumped from the belt of the gun to the ground and ran into the ruins with a puff of smoke.

This time, Link is going to synthesize new creatures with sand and rats.

After all, the Gobi is full of sand all the way, and if there is a mouse with sand attributes, it would be very suitable.

What's more, in the current environment of urban ruins, Link still has to choose?

After a while, Ah Fu ran back with a handful of sand and fart, and smiled very brightly with a mouthful of big white teeth.

"Boss, the sand is back!"

At the same moment, the treasure hunt rat also ran back from the ruins with a mouse.

The treasure hunting mouse led the way in front of it, but it was the mouse behind it, stopping three times at a time, hesitating, and a pair of small eyes flashed with panic.

Link's preparation for a second pet is also not on a whim.

10 points of blood were deducted for being grazed by bullets, 10 points of blood were deducted for the synthetic treasure hunt rat, and 3 points were deducted from the [Bleeding] ailment, and now he only has 17 points of blood.

Killing 4 Wasteland Mercenaries gives him 800 XP, which is enough for him to reach level 2.

In "Destiny", as long as you don't level up in battle and have abnormal statuses, you can recharge your HP and energy at one time.

In order to maximize the value, Link is ready to craft another pet and upgrade it, which is equivalent to saving 10 HP.

Mofa, the children of poor families have long been in charge.

Link's meticulous calculations are all imprinted in his bones.

Link stretched out his hand, and the treasure hunt rat also climbed onto Link's shoulder, calling out to the vigilant little mouse together.

Grab the mouse with your left hand, and with your right hand you will signal Ah Fu to pour the sand on your hand.

Forbes didn't understand what Link was going to do, but he did as he was asked to do, pouring the sand into his hands.

[You get 80 grams of grit]

Link enters the [Craft] interface, and to be honest, he doesn't have much hope for this crafting.

The main sand and gravel is white quality, plus the white quality of the mouse, no matter how much better than the treasure hunt mouse, he mainly values the functionality in the Gobi environment.

Link is also the first time to get the golden finger of the Zerg Hive Fragment, and only by synthesizing and groping can he master the trick.

Rats (Adult) + Gravel (80 g) = ? (65% success rate)

[Crafting consumes 10 health, is it crafting?] Yes / No]

Link frowned slightly, the success rate this time is a bit low!

65% success rate, only 10 points of blood, no matter how you look at it, you don't lose.

Synthesis!

The sand and gravel in the left hand were gradually absorbed by the palm of the hand, and the palm of the right hand gave birth to sticky blood streaks that gradually wrapped the struggling rats, forming a palm-sized blood cocoon.

[Blood Cocoon hatching countdown: 20 seconds.] ]

Ah Fu, who was eating melons on the side, was about to drop his jaw, he poured the sand on Link's hand with his own hands, and now he watched the sand disappear with his own eyes, and the lively rats formed blood cocoons, looking indescribably weird.

"Boss, you, you're ...... Superpowers? ”

Link's attention was focused on the blood cocoon, and it was indeed inconvenient for this golden finger to explain, so he responded: "Well, sort of! ”

Ah Fu was taken aback and suddenly realized, no wonder the boss could order the treasure hunt rat to kill the two mercenaries.

It turned out to be a superpower!

That makes sense.

Ah Fu's eyes gradually became firm, he must serve the boss well along the way, and he must follow him when he walks out of the Gobi.

Follow the superpower to eat and drink spicy, this is almost the consensus of everyone in their tribe.

Twenty seconds passed in an instant, and the blood cocoon in Link's hand was torn open by a pair of small claws.

There was sand flowing through the cracks in the blood cocoon, and a small pink mouse poked its head out curiously, observing everything around it.

[Monster crafted, gain white quality - gerbil!] ]

【Monster Attributes】

Name: Gerbil (larvae)

Quality: White

Ethnicity: Rodents

Attributes: Sand affinity

Level: 1

Initial Skill 1: Sand Lv1 (A unique ability for gerbils to completely sand their bodies for 1 minute.) ）

Initial Skill 2: Desert Affinity - Passive (Increases movement speed by 30% in the desert.) ）

Evaluation: The king rat in the desert, perfectly integrated into the desert, elusive, good at speed and hiding. It is important to note that due to the incompatibility of bio-synthetic material components, unknown problems may be induced.

————

Link's eyes lit up after reading the data, this was simply a creature specially tailored for crossing the desert Gobi, and it also gave him a new understanding of the [Synthesis] function.

Although the gerbil is only a white pet, it unexpectedly has two initial abilities.

With the blessing of these two abilities, this little guy can simply walk sideways in the desert Gobi.

In addition, the evaluation states that the incompatibility between the biology and the material may induce some effects.

I don't know what the problem will be, but Link finally knows another meaning of the success rate behind the preview of the synthesis formula.

The success rate also means that the biology and the material are affinity.

The gerbil stood in Link's hand, looking around, curious about the whole world.

Link couldn't wait to turn around and head out into the desert, wanting to test his gerbil skills and speed.

"Ah Fu, keep up with your things!"

Ah Fu watched a pink little mouse emerge from the blood cocoon with his own eyes, and opened his mouth wide in shock.

Carrying his bags and following Link quickly, there were many doubts in his head.

"Boss, what are we going back for?"

"Go to the edge of the desert and try your gerbil abilities."

"This little thing is called a gerbil?"

Link nodded, the advantage of having someone by his side is that he can share the joy anytime, anywhere.

"Gerbils move extremely fast in the desert, and they can also turn into sand and feel like a fish in water when they enter the desert!"

Ah Fu's eyes widened, and it was hard to imagine that such a little mouse had such a strong ability. I also understood the reason why the boss asked him to grab a handful of sand just now.

"But boss, the gerbil is still so small, if you put it directly in the desert for experiments, will it get lost?"

Link waved his hand confidently: "Impossible! ”

There is a special blood bond, how can you run away?

Link and Ah Fu make their way back to the outskirts of the ruins of the city, which has been eroded by the desert.

Link squatted down, put his palm on the sand and said, "Gerbil, let me see your strength!" ”

The gerbil understood his master, Link's command, and looked back at him curiously.

A pair of innocent little eyes met a look full of anticipation, and the gerbil chirped a few times and tentatively jumped onto the sand.

As soon as the little paw came into contact with the desert, the gerbil's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered some new continent, and he walked around the desert excitedly.

At first, it was tentatively moving, and then it was simply running wildly.

Link and Ah Fu watched dizzyingly, the gerbil moved extremely fast, and the hair on his body was the same color as the desert, and finally became an afterimage.

"Boss, it's too fast! Congratulations to the boss, I actually got such a powerful pet. ”

Ah Fu can help the kitchen in the wasteland gang, not by his skills, but by these two brushes on his mouth.

The corners of Link's mouth raised, although the 30% speed does not seem to be a big increase, but in fact, this speed is a bit too fast! Work with him in the Gobi for better results!

"Use the Sand Skill!" Link uses his mind to command gerbils.

In the next second, the gerbil's body turned into a puddle of sand, quickly merging with the desert.

The only thing that can be seen is a flowing mass of sand on the desert, dragging a clear trajectory as it moves.

Later, Link saw a small hole in the desert, and then he couldn't see any tracks.

"This skill is a bit powerful, and the effect is comparable to stealth!"

Link really didn't expect that the gerbil's body could completely decompose and desertify, and it disappeared after burrowing into the desert.

This ability is too strong in certain circumstances.

Now, I won't be afraid to encounter the soldiers of the Mechanicus God Sect in the Gobi!

"Gerbil, come back!"

Link shouted, waiting for the gerbil to return.

The sound wafted through the empty desert, but Link couldn't see any trace of the sand moving on the surface.

"This is amazing, it's completely invisible, it's like being invisible!" Ah Fu exclaimed from the sidelines.

Link is quite complacent, his brain hole and understanding of synthesis are top-notch!

Theory and practice are invincible!

It's just that Link waited for more than ten seconds, and still didn't see the gerbil return.

"Gerbils! Don't be playful and come back! ”

Link yelled again, and then tried to sense the gerbil's position, but only sensed the location of the treasure hunt mouse on his shoulder, and could not find the gerbil at all.

∑(O_O； Woock!

Link suddenly felt that something was wrong, although he didn't know what the sensing distance was, but he couldn't sense it at all, so he was very panicked......

"Gerbil!"

"Gerbils?"

"Gerbil—"

"Gerbil ......"

"Sand ...... Rat ......"

“…… Sand...... Rat ......"
