Chapter 71: The Desert of Death (I)
The Northern Desert City is located in the northernmost part, surrounded by dry land with few plants, and further north is the extremely dangerous Death Desert, where there is no end of the world and all kinds of powerful monsters live.
The edge area is a good leveling point, and then there is no one to go inside, because everyone who has been there will die due to various accidents, quicksand, sandstorms, mysterious monsters, maybe you were fine just now, and the next second you were killed by something, because you don't even know how you died, and this place is terrifying.
The carriage crossed one city after another, and finally arrived at the Northern Desert City.
The people who got out of the car were all Zhao Shun's teammates, a piece of black, a rough estimate of more than 40 people, tanks, output, nurses and various occupations, the strength was uneven, the strong had gold, the weak had bronze, Shi Dare was too casual when he was a group, they were all chaotic groups, and later because they caused a sensation, they were surrounded by countless people, and they left in a hurry, and they had no time to screen.
Fortunately, this is just a treasure hunting expedition, there is not much requirement for strength, it is to look at the personal adaptability, and various emergencies will be encountered in the treasure hunting process, if you can't deal with it, even if the strength is strong, it is useless.
Looking left and right, I didn't see Shi Kangdang, and someone asked, "What about the regiment leader?" ”
"I don't know, ask in the team channel."
After asking, Shi Gandang replied: "I bought water at the inn, you also come, you must bring enough water to the desert, otherwise it will produce a negative buff after a long time, which will affect the next action." ”
Everyone probably guessed where the ruins were, and according to Shi Dangdang's instructions, they all went to the inn to buy water.
More than forty people gathered together, and the action was quite eye-catching, and the players in Beimo City stopped what they were doing and stood on the street to watch the excitement.
The buildings of the Northern Desert City are full of Western characteristics, with flat mud walls and occasional colorful towers, which is a place where people perform important ceremonies.
The NPCs here are also dressed with local customs, robes cover their bodies, veils cover their faces, and some women are boldly dressed, with only a cloth towel wrapped around their chests, revealing fragrant shoulders and navel, and a long skirt on the lower body, which perfectly shows off the graceful figure, which is worn by belly dancers in reality.
There were several camels tied to the entrance of the inn, which were supposed to be overnight stayers.
Stepping into the door, everyone saw Shi Gandang standing in front of the counter talking to the innkeeper, mainly to inquire about things in the desert.
Seeing his teammates coming, Shi Gandang said: "You buy more water, just in case, I bought a set of water bladders anyway, which should be enough." ”
The crowd began to buy water from the innkeeper, and they all began to cry out when they saw the price.
"A bag of three silver coins? It's just water, why is it so expensive? ”
"That's it, profiteers!"
The innkeeper explained with a smile: "Don't be surprised, we have the most precious water here, very scarce, unlike the south, which is everywhere, so it is more expensive, please forgive me." ”
"I knew this earlier, and when I came, I installed some outside Baoyue Valley."
"If you want to fill water, you have to have a container, and if you don't have a container, you can use your hands to fill it?"
"Don't ink, buy it quickly, it's a little more expensive, compared to the treasures in the ruins, this money is nothing."
"That's right, as long as you find the ruins, this money is nothing."
Zhao Shun and others were buying water, and Shi Dangdang shouted on the team channel: "Have all the people arrived?" If you don't arrive, hurry up, buy water and we'll go. ”
No one responded, they all thought about it, and yes, they were all passionate in the face of large ruins, and who would procrastinate.
When everyone bought water, Shi Gandang said: "The place we are going to this time is the depths of the Death Desert, where there are many dangers, there will be casualties, if you are afraid of death, you can leave now, I will not stop you." ”
In fact, Shi Dangdang's words are completely superfluous, since these people were willing to join the group before, it means that they are ready for possible death, compared to the baby, what is it to drop one level, if you can really get something valuable, even if you drop the fourth and fifth levels, these people will not frown.
Shi Gandang continued: "In addition, I don't dare to guarantee that everyone will gain something from the ruins, depending on personal luck, whoever can find something will belong to whom, some of us may return empty-handed, even including me, don't get too much hope before going, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, if there is no opinion, we will set off." ”
One after another, someone said, "No comment." ”
No one objected, and the treasure hunt officially began.
Shi Dangdang led the way in front and led Zhao Shun and the others out of the Northern Desert City.
As soon as you exit the North City Gate, you will see the yellow sand and the endless sea of sand, the sun is shining in the sky, the roasting air is distorted, and the occasional wind blows, bringing a scorching heat wave and a mouthful of sand.
"Phew! What the hell is this place, a mouthful of sand is poured into one mouth. ”
Quite a few laughed and then learned from the player, keeping their mouths shut, or covering their faces with their clothes, revealing only one pair of eyes.
Zhao Shun didn't have to be so troublesome, he was wearing a skull mask, and the wind and sand were blocked out, which had no effect on him at all.
Stepping on the soft fine sand, it felt a little comfortable, but more of it was scorching, and at this time everyone found that a new status bar appeared next to their blood bar, and the yellow energy column increased little by little, and the water shortage was written on the left.
This is the same situation that Zhao Shun encountered in the radiation zone of the future world, although there is no hunger in the game, and he will not die if he does not eat, but in some special areas, the body will be negatively affected.
For example, in hot areas, the body will lose water, in cold areas, it will be frozen, and in miasma areas, it will be poisoned, if these conditions cannot be alleviated, it will be followed by a decrease in status, the player will be unconscious, will move slowly, will continue to lose blood, greatly reduce combat effectiveness, and put themselves in a dangerous situation.
Therefore, whenever you go to these special areas, you must bring corresponding props to prevent the occurrence of negative states, and it is natural to bring more water to the desert, and drinking water can reduce water shortage.
A group of people walk in the desert, and when the water shortage is high, they drink two sips of water to replenish their body hydration.
At first, you can still see some players fighting monsters and leveling up in the fringe area, but as you go deeper, you can't see anyone else on the road, and there is not even a bird in the sky, and it's barren and dead.
They were like a flat boat, driving in the vast sea of sand, leaving their footprints on the ground, but it didn't take long for the wind to blow, and the sand slowly buried the footprints of the long dragon, leaving no trace, as if they had been here, and as if they had not come.
"Commander, how long will it take, and where are the ruins?" One asked.
"It's still early, keep walking, how can the large ruins be so easy to reach, they are all in the middle and far away."
The man stopped asking questions and walked with his head down.
