Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Despair of the Survival of the Fittest in the Sand Sea 1
Connected to the peerless again, after a burst of bright light in front of me, I came to the dark space before going offline.
I was teleported here when I first stepped into the Blood Altar yesterday, and before I could seriously look at the environment in front of me, I was told by the system that I was going offline, and I didn't know anything about the unfamiliar space in front of me, let alone the purpose of coming here.
It was a strange space, there was no heaven or earth, I seemed to be floating in mid-air, surrounded by endless darkness, except for the space that could be seen within a few meters, the rest of the place was enough darkness to swallow everything. Quiet, the whole space is as silent as death, there is not a trace of sound, only the sound of my faint breathing and the sound of my slow heartbeat, this is a maddening space, and the feeling of depression is not at all tolerable for normal people.
At this moment, the blood beads that were originally stored in my spatial ring suddenly appeared in front of me, emitting a faint red light, which made the pressure I feel lighter.
Then a soft female voice echoed through the space.
"Lone Star Cold, choose the item you want to use in the Sea of Desperate Sands. There are six types of props, the first of which is an anti-sand suit. The second, the desert compass. The third type, the Desert Marching Tent. Fourth, the ship of the desert - camels. The fifth, a large water bladder,. Sixth, Eyes of the Desert. Because the player has a high-level sacrifice, you will be able to choose three items according to the system, so I hope you can choose carefully. β
Hearing this system prompt, I immediately calculated, it is obvious that this desperate sand sea is a place to test the will of players, although I have never been to the desert, but I once heard my grandfather say that the desert is one of the most terrible places in the world, people who can survive in that difficult environment are the strongest of the strong, in that place, it is enough to be proud of themselves. Survival of the fittest, the system really thinks enough.
Can you choose three items? The upper-level sacrifice is really good, it's not in vain that I worked so hard to get it, each of these props is the capital to survive in this sea of sand, I must think carefully and give full play to its maximum effect.
Sand suits? This thing is very good, it can protect the player's body in the desert very well, can minimize the impact of wind and sand on the player, and give full play to the player's maximum combat power, which is indeed a necessary equipment for fighting in the desert. But this trial is obviously for us players to survive in the desert, the land of the dead, and it can be said that our biggest enemy is not other players, but the terrible desert environment created by the system. Fight? I guess not the subject of this task. And with my combat strength, it doesn't matter if I have this anti-sand suit or not, well, although this prop is good, it is not necessary for me.
A desert compass? In the vast desert, the most terrible thing is not that there is no water, but that you have lost the judgment of direction, if you have no sense of direction, then death is one step away from you, it is definitely a mental breakdown, you have lost your direction, it is impossible to move forward half a step at all. For this prop, I did not hesitate to choose the one I needed, maybe some people would say that you can use the sun during the day and the Big Dipper at night to determine the direction? Then you are very wrong, the weather in the desert can change rapidly, relying on some natural phenomena to determine the direction, you will die a miserable death.
Desert marching tents? The Traveler's Rest Tent in the Desert can be used to regain the user's energy a little, and reduce the player's consumption to a limited extent. While at first glance many people would simply ignore it as a useless prop, I don't think so. Survival, surviving in the harshest environments, that's the essence of this mission, and while this tent doesn't help the player much, it protects the player to the greatest extent. Consumables, although not very important in normal times, but in the desert, the worst environment for human survival, is the most precious, your consumption is less than others, that means that you are easier to survive than others, so I resolutely chose this desert marching tent, I believe in my judgment. The system will not just put a useless prop for us to choose from.
Alas, each of these six props is too useful, it's really hard to choose, it's no exaggeration to say that whether you can choose the right props can be related to the success or failure of this desperate sand sea mission, even if you are strong, no matter how good you are, if you don't choose useful props, there is no hope of survival.
Now that I've used two options, there's still the last one left, and I have to choose the last three items that are most beneficial to me.
Ship of the Desert - Camel? For this prop, I don't think about it at all, although this thing is very good, there is no faster means of transportation than camels in the desert, players with camels can be said to have greatly improved their mobility ability, but this thing has no effect on me at all, I have the wings of the demon god, I don't care about the movement of the camel at all, although limited to physical strength, I can't use the wings of the demon god to fly for a long time, but in a short period of time my movement is absolutely amazing, so this desert ship is the most useless for me.
The last left large water bladder and the Desert Eye? The former can be twice as large as the average water bladder, which means that you have at least twice as many chances of surviving in this desert as others. The importance of water in the desert is known to anyone, a person can go days without eating, but you can never go days without drinking water, and the feeling of lack of water is unbearable for anyone.
And the latter is also an indispensable treasure in the desert, in the desert there are dangers everywhere, sandstorms that come and go without a trace, unpredictable mirages, quicksand groups that can swallow everything, etc., all of which are the most likely to kill any player, and this Eye of the Desert can find the hidden dangers to the greatest extent,
I'm conflicted at the moment, these two items are too tempting for me, and each one is so attractive. It's so hard to choose between twice as much water and more water than other players, and now I understand what it's like to have both worlds.
After pondering for a long time, I finally made the decision, Eyes of the Desert, and I chose the opportunity to preemptively detect the crisis in the desert. Water, although it is the most indispensable thing for desert travel, but if you fall into a group of quicksand or be attacked by a sandstorm, then it is useless for you to have more water, and there is only a lack of water in the desert instead of no water, as long as you are lucky and find an oasis, the problem of water will be solved naturally, although it is very difficult to find an oasis in the vast desert, but there is always hope, the system will not set a dead end for us to drill, as long as I can find the illusory path, the desperate sand sea will no longer be desperate.
"I chose the Desert Compass, the Desert Marching Tent, and the Desert Eye." Now that I've decided, I didn't hesitate to say what I needed.
"Ding, the player Lone Star Han uses the high-level sacrifice - Blood Bead to obtain the mission prop Desert Compass, the mission prop Desert Marching Tent, and the mission prop Desert Eye, and the player Lone Star Han officially enters the desperate sand sea of survival of the fittest." With the sound of the system, a flash of white light flashed, and I was teleported into the sea of despair.
It was a dead world, and I realized that I was alone again, and unlike the black and white world of the Death Forest, I was greeted by a world of rich colors, and of course, the color of this was also relative to the Forest of Death.
At this moment, I was standing in a ruined ruin, looking around at the endless yellow sand, occasionally with one or two white bones in the yellow sand, and one or two cacti that were still quite long, and the whole world felt like death.
"Ding, respected player Lone Star Han, welcome to the different space of the killing land, this is the desperate sand sea, is the second pass of the survival of the fittest mission, in this desperate sand sea there are 100 players from all regions of the Eastern Continent, your task is to survive in this desperate sand sea, and successfully reach the center of the desperate sand sea - the city of hope, the mission time is 30 days, the game will change the contrast between the real time and the game time, once the player dies or can't bear the pressure to quit the peerless will be automatically regarded as a failure. The survival of the fittest, only 100 players can make it to the next level, good luck. β
After listening to the prompt sound of the system, I silently opened my status bar, and looked at the materials I have now, 30 days, I must survive in this sea of sand for 30 days, from now on, I must maximize the benefits of the use of consumables, otherwise this desperate sea of sand will be the burial place of my lone star.
It's not bad.,In addition to the three mission props I chose.,The system replenished us with enough potions.,It also gave us a water bladder that we can use for three days.γAnd three days of food.,The other is a map.,The map is very simple.,There are only two highlights.,One highlight is in the center of the map.,I think that's the center of our destination in the desperate sand sea - the city of hope.,And the other highlight at the edge of the map is needless to say it's me.,As for the rest of the map it's all black.,Nothing.γ
Three days of water, it seems that the first thing I have to do now is find my first oasis, otherwise everything is over.
Replacing the metal equipment of the whole body, marching in this desert, the weight of these equipment will increase my burden, quickly deplete my physical strength, now I must save all resources, this is the first rule of survival in the desert. Adjusting my direction, I set out towards my goal and began my arduous and exciting journey to the desert.
